Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Sword Intent had been slumbering in the Sea of Consciousness. When Yan Yu focused his thoughts in that direction, he immediately sensed a connection and commented,

"It's not like you're some bride who hasn't crossed the threshold yet. Why are you starting to worry about cheating without her noticing? She actually doesn't care who you mess around with, okay?"

"You know again?" Yan Yu dismissively said, "Just a sword, acting like a relationship expert now?"

"Haha." True Obscurity Sun Sword Intent, always solemn and staid, wasn't the type to not fight back or retort. Stung by Yan Yu's words, it sneered, "I've met more sword masters than you've ever spoilt women, alright?"

"Bullshit, what do you mean 'women I've spoilt'?" Yan Yu immediately retorted, "Tell me, which woman have I ever led on and then abandoned?"

"I didn't say you abandoned them." Sword Intent quickly seized this point, "I actually meant 'deceiving emotions.' Look, before I could even explain, you immediately thought of abandonment, showing just how filthy and dirty your mind is!"

"Funny, I'm a man who still retains his Primordial Yang, clean and proper, yet in your mouth, I become filthy and dirty." Yan Yu said contemptuously, "That shows how absurd your moral standards are."

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Anna noticed Yan Yu's silence, unaware that he was communicating with the Sword Intent inside his Sea of Consciousness, and teased, "Feeling shy?"

"Quiet, I'm thinking." Yan Yu said.

However, no sooner had he spoken than his pants suddenly moved. Shocked, Yan Yu quickly lowered his voice and exclaimed,

"Are you crazy? Mei Yingxue is still behind us!"

"Isn't that more thrilling?" Anna laughed nonchalantly, "Now you're holding the broom handle, so what should I hold?"

"Then you sit in the front." Yan Yu quickly said.

"Okay." Anna drew her hand back, exchanged places with Yan Yu, and directly sat in his lap.

The three of them crossed the coastline and entered the frigid airspace above the Arctic Ocean. Anna then said,

"Last time I was here with someone going through the Mysterious Realm, we agreed if we conquered the realm, we'd spend a passionate night together. But someone ended up dining and dashing without paying... How am I supposed to settle this with him?"

"I think you should let it go." Yan Yu said, "A melon forced off its vine is not sweet."

"I don't believe it!" Anna suddenly became irritated, "Don't fob me off with some national mission! You are now Lu Country's Sword Bearer, doesn't that mean you can be with whoever you want to be with? Is there anyone in Lu Country who would dare to stop you?"

"I think what Yan Yu means," Mei Yingxue suddenly said, "is that he doesn't want to be with you, or rather he isn't ready to be with any woman yet, which is why he said a forced melon isn't sweet."

Anna instantly became irate, thinking to herself that this newcomer was flaunting her power in front of her.

"You know shit!" She retorted fiercely, "When I met Yan Yu, you were still playing in the mud!"

Mei Yingxue, always straightforward and not catching on that Anna was jealous, asked in confusion,

"When I met Yan Yu, and whether he is with you, what logical connection does that have?"

Anna was suddenly at a loss for words but quickly countered,

"What does whether Yan Yu will be with me have to do with you?"

"No connection." Mei Yingxue replied.

Seeing her apparently yielding and softening, Anna somewhat restrained her aggression, only to hear Mei Yingxue continue,

"I just think that pushing him so aggressively might backfire instead of winning him back. This is just advice, it's up to you whether to listen or not, after all, it's none of my business."

Anna: "Suka Blyat! Can I kill this bitch?"

Seeing the two on the verge of tearing into each other, Yan Yu was somewhat interested in watching them fight. However, considering it was during a mission, it seemed best to avoid any mishaps, so he spoke up,

"Anna, Teacher Mei is quite straightforward and says whatever she's thinking; she doesn't really mean any harm. Teacher Mei, we still have a mission to complete, so let's not quarrel, shall we? The mission comes first."

Since Yan Yu intervened, Anna naturally wanted to give him face and just huffed, not speaking another word.

However, Mei Yingxue was the kind of person who couldn't read the room, and she frowned in confusion,

"I agree with not fighting, but I don't think she and I were arguing. To put it accurately, I feel she's taking out her anger on me because you rejected her, so you should be careful too, Yan Yu."

Anna could hardly stop herself from attacking Mei Yingxue, but then she heard Yan Yu laugh,

"Indeed, that was my fault, Anna. And it's been a long time since we last met; I understand you're upset. How about you come visit me in Lu Country after this is over?"

"Sure sure!" Anna's mood blossomed immediately. "You still live at Jinling Prefecture, right? I'm coming!"

"Hmm..." Mei Yingxue pondered for a moment, then said, "I should apologize too; maybe I wasn't considerate enough when I spoke. Sorry."

"It's all right, it's all right," Anna waved her hand cheerily, "Let's just forget about it, shall we?"

"Okay." Mei Yingxue replied, "Right after this task, my remote office permit was approved, and I have some questions about swordsmanship, so I hope I can also trouble Yan Yu at your place."

"Sure," Yan Yu agreed subconsciously, then felt Anna tense up in his arms, like a golden retriever ready to leap on someone.

Her gaze was fixed on Mei Yingxue's sword light opposite her, filled with loathing and murderous intent towards a sneaky cat.

Am I dumb or what... How straightforward is this woman really? As soon as she heard I'm spending a few days at Yan Yu's place, she instantly wanted to move in too! If she has no romantic interest in Yan Yu, then I'm a dog!

Yan Yu's thoughts shifted slightly, and he realized Anna had misunderstood again.

Teacher Mei moving in was not about me but about the True Obscurity Sun Sword Intent in my Sea of Consciousness... Well, explaining this would be rather troublesome, better let her make sense of it herself.

The three traveled across the vast Arctic Ocean, entering the North Sea area of Europe.

From here on, they entered the realm controlled by Europe's Transcendents. Since the Berserker profession abundant in Northern Europe wasn't adept at Flight, the ocean had more wizards using various spells or magical tools, either flying low or surfing across the waves.

Since the High Seas were completely unregulated, everyone worried about being robbed or killed by their peers. Everyone liked to make their spell's blue radiance excessively bright, signaling "I'm not to be messed with."

Mei Yingxue's sword light was white, and Anna's broomstick didn't need to be mentioned; it had no glowing capability, so it was immediately apparent they weren't European Transcendents, quickly attracting the evil eye from some passing wizards.

"We have someone following us," Mei Yingxue suddenly said.

"I'll handle it!" Anna was already furious, and considering Yan Yu's feelings, it wasn't right to strike Mei Yingxue, so she vented all her wrath on those sneaky wizards instead, pulling a small pouch from her bosom, muttering a spell, and swiftly scattering a green powder into the ocean below.

As soon as the powder touched the water, it turned into countless water snakes, swarming and spitting dark green venom at the wizards above, like arrows in a barrage!

The wizards hurriedly used various means to defend themselves, some with strong spells or quick movements blocking the venom or flying high to avoid it, but many were caught off guard and struck by the venomous arrows, their clothes corroded from the outside in, flesh and bones scorched to nothing!

When the water snakes dispersed again, only two out of ten wizards remained, staring at each other in shock for a moment before someone spoke up,

"Although we didn't see their faces clearly, those three foreigners must be strong. We can't handle them; we need to find more helpers!"
