Chapter 954: Chapter 16 Bullying Ningning_2

“Shut up already.” Lin Ning finally reached her limit. “How long are you going to enjoy my embarrassment?”

“I’m not making fun of you, I’ve been giving you advice from the start.” Jing Zhongxian said earnestly, “Tonight, right away, go sleep with him.”

“If I do that, he’ll definitely think I’m cheap.” Lin Ning said dejectedly, “Even though I’m ranked fourth, I still have to throw myself at him.”

“You’re wrong.” Jing Zhongxian said, “He’ll be scared to death because his True Yang hasn’t fully recovered tonight, and here you are sucking him dry again. From now on, he’ll have an intense respect for you, and whenever you pretend to undo a button, he’ll immediately go weak in the knees and beg for mercy.”

“That’s enough.” Lin Ning frowned in disgust, “How does that benefit me? I want him to like me, not fear me!”

“Don’t you get it? As a team leader, you only appreciate strong women.” Jing Zhongxian spoke confidently. “Daring to take the initiative in a night raid and attack him shows decisiveness; choosing the time when his True Yang is not recovered shows control of the situation; subduing him with your exceptional skills shows your formidable strength. Any man would be crazy not to like a decisive, situation-controlling, strong woman!”

Lin Ning sighed inwardly, thinking that I must be under too much pressure to even subconsciously consider whether her words are feasible or not.

“I don’t have any of the strengths you mentioned.” Lin Ning said, “I only have one strength.”

“What strength?”

“Treating your unreliable bad ideas as nothing but hot air.”

—————-

The next morning, Yan Yu slowly awoke from his meditation, and once again checked his inner condition.

For a cultivator at the Golden Core Realm, although their physical prowess may not seem to improve visibly, their hidden recovery ability has increased greatly.

If it had been a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm who had been drained of True Yang during dual cultivation to the point of significant deficit, it would be quite normal to be bedridden for ten days to half a month. With a Golden Core, coupled with the refinement of medicinal power and conditioning of True Yuan, one can recover quite well in a single night.

Of course, to say that he has completely recovered is not quite true–after all, the loss of origin cannot be replenished so quickly. It’s like an athlete with an injury; even if they recover after a few months, there will always be lingering injuries in certain joints and tendons, which, when accumulated to a certain extent, will flare up again.

But Yan Yu doesn’t mind at all. What he’s best at is to arrange and combine the various resources at hand to maximize the achievement of his goals. Physical health, among his many resources, is the least worthy of mention.

Great! Tonight I will practice dual cultivation with Ningning!

Speaking of Ningning, he remembered her sullen look from last night, not sure what was bothering her.

Since that’s the case, why don’t I bring her along for some happy activities?

Yan Yu went to the meeting room of the Zhenhai Team and saw Zhao Yuanzhen and Xie Ruoxi playing video games with controllers in their hands, while Su Yunjin was brewing tea for the two.

Seeing the team leader arrive, Yun Jin stood up and asked:

“How’s your recovery? You look much better.”

“I’m completely fine now.” Yan Yu patted his chest.

“Oh?” Zhao Yuanzhen put down the controller, “Then how about I up the difficulty for you tonight, you against Ruoxi and me together, what do you say?”

“Not interested.” Yan Yu waved his hand dismissing her, “I have to assist with dual cultivation, I don’t have time to fool around with you guys.”

“Tch, that Yan Yu is such a loser.” Zhao Yuanzhen scoffed, “A man with weak stamina, but quite skilled at making excuses.”

“Sister Zhao…” Xie Ruoxi tugged at her sleeve beside her, signaling her not to provoke the team leader further.

What if he, in a fit of rashness, really agrees? What then?

I definitely do not want to be ravished by the team leader along with you! And… even if we are going to challenge the leader, shouldn’t we bring in more people, like Yun Jin sister…?

“Can’t be bothered to talk to you.” Yan Yu once again scanned the room, “Where are Ningning and Ling Yun?”

“Ling Yun took a leave.” Yun Jin seemed a bit disheartened, “I haven’t seen Ningning, she must be in her room probably.”

“Alright.” Yan Yu stepped forward, kissing her on the lips, “Don’t overthink, I need to talk to her about dual cultivation and Crossing Tribulation.”

Su Yunjin didn’t expect that revealing just a hint of loneliness would immediately be caught by the team captain.

Hehe, even after dual cultivation, the captain really still thinks of me.

Looking at Zhao Yuanzhen and Xie Ruoxi on the sofa, still engrossed in their game, but their expressions seemed a bit sour and jealous, which made Yun Jin’s heart blossom with joy and happiness.

Yan Yu arrived at Lin Ning’s room door and knocked.

There was no response inside.

He slightly furrowed his brows, then conjured a hand sign and used the Wall-Penetration Technique, bypassing the lock and entering the room directly.

He then saw the bathroom door wide open, with Ningning standing in the shower, rinsing off body wash with the showerhead.

Their eyes met as both of them locked gazes. Lin Ning’s eyes widened in a moment, seemingly wanting to cover her body, but then she quickly suppressed the impulse and turned her body slightly, not allowing him to see the front, and annoyed, she asked:

“Why do you come in through the wall without knocking?”

“I did knock.” said Yan Yu.

“If I didn’t hear you knock, couldn’t you have called me?”

“Then why didn’t you close the door when you’re taking a shower?” Yan Yu retorted.

“That’s none of your business!” Lin Ning snapped back at him. “The main door is locked, does it matter if this one is closed or not?”

“If it’s not closed, then coming through the walls, I’d see you,” Yan Yu stood at the door of the bathroom, leaning his upper body against the door frame with a smile.

“So you see, so what.” Lin Ning snorted coldly, “Anyway, when it’s time for dual cultivation, you will see it all.”

Yan Yu didn’t speak but quietly appreciated her figure.

Among the Zhenhai Team, Ningning actually had the most well-proportioned body. While Ling Yun and Yun Jin had slender figures, they were too thin, lacking curves where they should be; whereas the Enchantress and Ruoxi were overly voluptuous, not excessively so, but had extra fat that could be removed to enhance their looks considerably.

Ningning found a suitable balance between “slim” and “voluptuous.” Especially her pair of long, healthy legs, neither plump like meaty legs nor skeletal to the point of sickness, their firm, slender lines beautifully showcased the curves of the human body.

Seeing Yan Yu’s gaze lingering near her legs, Lin Ning eventually felt a mix of shame and anger, tightly closing her legs and grabbing the showerhead to spray him with hot water:

“Don’t look! You big pervert! Your gaze is so lecherous!”

Yan Yu originally wanted to dodge. With his reaction speed, he certainly wouldn’t have been hit by the water, but a sudden inspiration hit him and he pretended to be confused, staying in place and got doused by the hot shower, soaking his hair and shirt completely.

Lin Ning exclaimed in surprise, quickly turned off the tap, and went to grab a towel to wipe his hair, chiding him as she asked:

“Why didn’t you dodge?”

“You ambushed me, my reaction was half a beat too slow, didn’t dodge it in time.” Yan Yu explained.

“Liar.” Lin Ning pouted, “You definitely did it on purpose.”

“Oh?” Yan Yu feigned surprise and asked, “Why would I intentionally not dodge?”

“Because…” Lin Ning showed a disgusted expression, “you might have deliberately got yourself wet so you could use it as an excuse to… What are you doing now!”

Before she could finish talking, Yan Yu had already taken off his shirt.

“It’s like you said, doing bad things.”

He pinned Lin Ning against the wall of the shower area, and she immediately raised her arms in front of her, cowering with a look of pitifulness in her eyes, but then quickly realized the situation and yelled:

“No! I haven’t finished showering, we can’t do dual cultivation now!”

“Well, that’s not for you to decide,” Yan Yu said as he grabbed her arms.
