Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 443 - 39 You are really difficult to deal with

Chapter 443: Chapter 39 You are really difficult to deal with

Lin Ning often couldn’t understand either.

She usually had a goody-two-shoes personality, and getting teased a few times would just make her anxious and angry. But for some reason, everytime the despicable captain tried to bully her, she always felt a strong urge to lash out at him with claws and teeth.

Although she had no experience in physical fights, Lin Ning still instinctively knew what to do, thanks to her instincts honed on the battlefield.

First thing, physically overpower him!

With a roar, she pounced on him, pinning Yan Yu beneath her with force.

“Ouch!” Yan Yu was caught off guard, “What are you doing?!”

...

Lin Ning didn’t say a word, only using her position above him to try and firmly pin down his two hands.

Yan Yu naturally wouldn’t just give in without a fight, he quickly began to struggle, attempting to throw the female knight off him.

Lin Ning’s competitive spirit flared up more than ever, she tightened her legs around Yan Yu’s waist to prevent him from flipping her over, and eventually caught his wrists in her hands. Then she faced a dilemma—my hands are busy holding his, how do we continue fighting?

This thought circled in her mind for a second, and she quickly made up her mind.

I still have my teeth!

Bite him!

Lin Ning bent down and gave a howl before biting down on Yan Yu’s shoulder.

You big pig trotter! I’ll show you for trying to take a second wife! I’ll bite you to death!

With Yan Yu pinned under her, waist clamped and hands restrained, and his shoulder tightly held in her mouth, their bodies closely pressed together with hardly any gap, Yan Yu wondered what kind of game this was. Lin seemed like a goody-two-shoes but turned out to be quite playful in private.

Though the bite didn’t really hurt, just to be safe, he decided to open the Barrier Charm.

Lin Zihao, a third-grade elementary school student, was often roped into running errands and doing recon jobs by his older siblings, rewarded with snacks and toys for his efforts.

Since Ningning and her new boyfriend had run upstairs and refused to come down for a long time, everyone sent Lin Zihao to check on them, “Be careful, don’t let them spot you.”

Lin Zihao slipped into some silent-soled slippers and tiptoed up the stairs.

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

No one was in the third-floor bedroom, so they must be on the rooftop.

Upon reaching the rooftop, Lin Zihao sneaked a peek.

Clothesline, flower bed, swing set… Holy moly! Ningning was on top of her boyfriend, kissing him!

Because of the swing set’s obstruction, Lin Zihao couldn’t see very clearly, but it was beyond doubt that the two were intertwined.

He hurriedly backed down, scrambled back to the second-floor living room in a flurry, and blurted out,

“Ning’s making a baby with her boyfriend!”

“Pfft!” Several cousins drinking tea spluttered immediately.

“Lin Zihao, don’t talk nonsense!” Lin Lan, Lin Ning’s older sister, quickly chided, “What do you know about making babies at your age?”

“How do I not know?” Lin Zihao argued confidently, “Isn’t it just this first, then that, followed by something else, and finally…”

Several older sisters hurried over to cover his mouth, but it was too late, everyone had heard.

Nowadays, children have access to so much information, they really do mature too early. You think they don’t understand, but they actually know more than you.

But that meant Lin Ning really was with her boyfriend…

“Let’s go see!” One of the male cousins suddenly stood up.

“Don’t go!” Lin Lan quickly tried to stop them, but how could she stop so many by herself? Everyone quickly bypassed her, charging towards the stairs leading up.

Lin Lan had no choice but to hurriedly follow, loudly calling out,

“Ah! Don’t go! What’s there to see! Behave yourselves!”

She yelled loudly, hoping Ning would hear her upstairs. Everyone guessed her intention and quickly sped up the stairs. Bursting onto the rooftop, they saw Lin Ning viciously biting Yan Yu.

“Wow!” the male cousins shouted excitedly.

“Wow!!” the female cousins also exclaimed.

“Wow!!!” the children shouted the loudest, as if they were watching Ultraman.

Lin Ning finally realized what was happening, quickly jumped off Yan Yu, and in a frantic rush exclaimed,

“What are you doing up here?!”

Seeing that her clothes and pants were intact, everyone understood it was a false alarm stirred up by Lin Zihao. The two weren’t doing anything indescribable under the daylight; they were just lying on the swing kissing…

That’s pretty thrilling too!

“Ningning, you two really have a great relationship~” A female cousin said admiringly.

“Still, be mindful of the influence, the next rooftop can see you,” a male cousin advised her.

“When are you getting married? When are you handing out wedding candies?” the children chimed in teasingly, “When are you making babies?”

Lin Ning couldn’t withstand such teasing at all. Her face turned bright red, her expression explosive, and she couldn’t utter a single word before turning around to merge with the Green Bamboo Sword Light and running away.

Yan Yu didn’t bother explaining the situation to everyone and hastily followed with Sword Control, chasing after the light of Lin Ning’s sword.

The two flew over the vast ocean, and after some time, they finally landed on an island up ahead.

This place was not a deserted island but a large island complete with houses and roads.

Lin Ning landed her sword light, touching down amid the woods. Yan Yu quickly followed suit and saw Lin Ning run into a pavilion and shout,

“Don’t come over yet!”

Yan Yu immediately stopped, sighing inwardly about how playful she was, yet embarrassed when seen by others, thinking to himself how difficult she was to deal with.

Several minutes passed, and seeing Lin Ning remaining silent in the pavilion, apparently having calmed down, Yan Yu quietly approached her and asked,

“Are you okay?”

“No,” Lin Ning finally spoke, her voice sounding extremely aggrieved, with a hint of tears, “Why did they have to see us?”

“The roof isn’t exactly a secret place…” Yan Yu began, only to see Lin shake her head and cover her ears, calling out,

“I’m not listening, I’m not listening! Stop talking!”

“Then what do you want to hear?” Yan Yu asked.

Lin Ning sat silently for a moment, then suddenly asked,

“If we explained that we were just playing around, would anyone believe us?”

“They would,” Yan Yu replied.

Lin Ning’s expression relaxed slightly, only to hear Yan Yu add,

“But you ran away with Sword Control right on the spot, no one would believe it now. If it was just play, why did you run?”

Lin Ning immediately frowned, mumbling after a long pause,

“Then I don’t want to go back. Going back just means more gossip, stirring up trouble, and idle chatter. I might as well stay in Jinling for the New Year.”

“Don’t you know what kind of people your relatives are?” Yan Yu asked.

“But I didn’t know Qiao Ming would spread rumors, making everyone think you are my boyfriend!” Lin Ning’s voice grew even more heartbreaking, as if she were about to drop little pearls of tears.

Yan Yu examined her eyes closely. Good, no tears had fallen; they were just swirling in her eyes, indicating her emotions were still stable.

“That’s also true,” he said, crossing his arms, “People like to believe whatever they hope is true. Since your father so hopes that you will find someone, even if it’s clear it’s not plausible, he’ll still find ways to make it seem more credible.”

“So what should we do?” Lin Ning asked quietly.

What can you do? Just be a bit stronger mentally, regard your relatives’ idle talks as breezes at your ear, right?

Before, she even thought about having me as her fake boyfriend to shoo away her childhood friend, but why is she embarrassed about it now? Wait, is she really embarrassed?

Having lived twice as a human, Yan Yu had ample experience and immediately realized that Lin Ning’s distress and unhappiness were probably not just due to the misunderstandings and gossip from the relatives. A bigger concern might be worrying that those gossips would upset me—once from a guy’s perspective, going to a female friend’s house for dinner and then being gossiped about by her relatives would definitely feel awkward or even distasteful, if the guy had no feelings for the girl.

Hmm, let’s test the waters.

“Don’t worry,” Yan Yu sat down beside her and spoke softly, “Your relatives mean well, wanting you to be with someone you like. I’m not going to be mad at you over something like this.”

Lin Ning was silent for a while before saying,

“It’s not about whether you are mad at me or not.”

Alright, alright, by saying this, Lin definitely cares about it! She really is concerned about how I feel.

“Then what is it that you care about?” Yan Yu asked intentionally.

“I…” Lin Ning faltered for a moment, then defensively said, “I just have my pride, seriously. Even though you and I aren’t a couple, they deliberately make us the butt of their jokes, and I’m unhappy about it.”

“I understand,” Yan Yu laughed, “Being misunderstood as my girlfriend, that did you wrong.”

“Not at all!” Lin Ning hurriedly looked up to explain, her eyes meeting Yan Yu’s, then quickly turned away, “It either is or it isn’t, there’s no question of being wronged or not. You… you mustn’t think that way, I’ll get angry.”

“Alright, I won’t think about it that way,” Yan Yu stood up and said, “Let’s go back.”

“I don’t want to go back,” Lin Ning said, “Going back just means more idle chatter.”

“If you don’t go back, their stories about you will get even more ridiculous,” Yan Yu said, “If you do go back, they might restrain themselves a bit for fear of your anger.”

Lin Ning thought about it and saw his point—if I’m not around, who knows what kind of outrageous stories they’ll concoct. She quickly got up, grabbing Yan Yu’s hand, and said urgently,

“Then let’s hurry back!”

“Yeah.” Yan Yu squeezed her soft, warm hand gently, feeling as comfortable as touching smooth ivory or jade.

But Lin Ning quickly realized what was happening, shook off his big hand, and glared at him angrily before immediately taking off with Sword Control.

Yan Yu leisurely walked out of the pavilion and gracefully rose with Sword Control.

Ascending into the sky, he saw the Green Bamboo Sword Light circling ahead, waiting for him.

When Yan Yu caught up, the Green Bamboo Sword Light stopped spinning and turned toward the direction of Qingyuan Prefecture, flying away.
