Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 744 - 21 Yes, Captain

"This is where you guys usually stay, huh?"

The first time at Zhenghai Team Villa, Tang Xiaolian curiously looked around everywhere, even staring at a flowerpot in the corner of the living room for a while, curiously asking:

"What kind of Spirit Grass is this?"

"That’s a Spathiphyllum." Su Yunjin replied, "It’s for ornamental use."

"Oh." Tang Xiaolian smiled awkwardly, "So it’s a flower... haha, it looks so good I thought it was some Spirit Grass."

Su Yunjin immediately took a liking to her, showing a gentle and approachable smile, thinking that this child had quite an eye.

"What are we having for late-night snack?" Tang Xiaolian ran to the dining table, looking at the Red Bean Lotus Seed Soup on the table, "Wow, it smells so good, where did you buy it?"

"I made it," Lin Ning answered, "I made it myself, it’s more reassuring to eat."

"You made it?!" Tang Xiaolian, amazed, said, "I thought it was store-bought! The fragrance and presentation are already of restaurant quality!"

Lin Ning really appreciated her, quickly serving her a bowl of warm soup.

But Tang Xiaolian wasn’t in a hurry to eat her snack, turning her head to see Zhao Yuanzhen come over, attracted by the smell, and she kindly asked:

"Do you want some?"

"Thank you!" Zhao Yuanzhen’s liking for her rose sharply, as he took the bowl and turned to leave.

Tang Xiaolian:...

No, I was just going to give you a taste! Why did you take all of mine?!

"Here’s another bowl for you," Lin Ning, seeing her about to cry, quickly intervened.

"Thank you." Tang Xiaolian took the porcelain bowl, about to take a big spoonful, when she saw Xie Ruoxi walking over, looking timid as if she wanted to ask something but dared not.

"Here, you take it." She generously handed it over.

"Thank you, big sister is so nice!" Xie Ruoxi was overjoyed, deciding to include her on her list of potential sisters.

"You’re fitting into our little group quite fast," Yan Yu spoke as he fetched some Red Bean Lotus Seed Soup from the kitchen, seeing Tang Xiaolian already helping distribute the food.

"Hehe, are you scared?" Tang Xiaolian teased with a playful smile.

"Here you go," Yan Yu handed her the third bowl of soup.

"Wow, thank you!" Tang Xiaolian exclaimed dramatically, "Captain Yan actually served it to me personally, I’m so moved! Love you~"

The girls:...

Their gazes suddenly turned cold and hostile.

Little green tea, acting so innocent earlier, are you trying to charm everyone here?

Tang Xiaolian suddenly shivered and chuckled awkwardly:

"Just kidding, no offense."

"I’m not taking any offense," Yan Yu tasted the soup, then turned to Lin Ning and said, "It’s too bland, add some sugar for me."

Lin Ning took the bowl expressionlessly, grabbed the white sugar container next to her, and poured vigorously.

"Hey!" Yan Yu called out.

"You like sugar so much, I’ll add more," Lin Ning said coldly, slamming the bowl on the counter.

Yan Yu was silent for a moment, then suddenly picked up a bottle of vinegar and poured it directly into the pot.

"Hey!" Lin Ning’s eyes widened, "I haven’t eaten yet!"

"You like vinegar so much, I’ll add more too," Yan Yu retorted coldly.

The two quickly started bickering. Lin Ning tried to kick him, but Yan Yu immobilized her legs against the counter; she reached for his ears, only to have her hands caught... The two soon found themselves in an awkward deadlock of "You stop first, then I will."

"Stop fighting, you two." Yun Jin immediately came over to break them up, pulling the entangled pair apart, "Communicate nicely, talk things out!"

"My Red Bean Lotus Seed Soup..." Lin Ning looked sorrowfully at the pressure cooker, biting her lower lip, but heard Su Yunjin telepathically asking:

"What’s up with that child? Is she really close with the captain, acting without any sense of boundaries?"

"I don’t know," Lin Ning mumbled back, "It was like this last time at Mount Wutai too."

"Mount Wutai?" Su Yunjin’s expression suddenly sharpened, though her smile became even warmer, "Tell me about it."

Ning Jin secretly exchanged telepathic messages in the kitchen. Meanwhile, Tang Xiaolian, holding her bowl of Red Bean Lotus Seed Soup, sat down next to Chen Lingyun in the living room.

Zhao Yuanzhen and Xie Ruoxi sat on a sofa across, eating desserts while staring at her, likewise whispering among themselves.

"Bitchy," Xie Ruoxi stated.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked.

"You can tell just by looking," Xie Ruoxi darkly commented, "Pretty face and cheerful personality, completely lacking distance and boundaries with the male lead, typical light novel heroine designed to torment childhood friends."

"And she’s also very close with Lingyun," Zhao Yuanzhen squinted his eyes, "Near cinnabar red, near ink black." freewebnσvel.cøm

"Keep watching her," Xie Ruoxi said.

"Guard firmly," Zhao Yuanzhen said.

Both continued to watch Tang Xiaolian’s back, their gaze harsh and cold, causing her to shiver involuntarily, reluctantly telepathically asking Chen Lingyun:

"Lingyun, it feels a bit cold in the villa, huh?"

"The weather is getting colder," Chen Lingyun smiled warmly, "Let me teach you a trick: you go flirt a bit with Yan Yu, the room will warm up as everyone gasps in shock."

"Ahahaha~" Tang Xiaolian laughed awkwardly, "I’m afraid they might tear me apart to warm up."

"Not at all," Chen Lingyun smiled, "This is Yan Yu’s territory, you don’t need to worry about being killed here~"

"That’s only if he’s here; if he leaves, I’m dead!" Tang Xiaolian joked exasperatedly.

"Xiaolian," Chen Lingyun changed her tone, speaking lightly, "Have you ever heard of a saying? ’A beauty matches only the strong.’"
