Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

"Of course," Yan Yu said, "I haven't touched anything inside, you can take a look."

Anna pushed open the door and indeed found that the furniture was arranged in her usual layout, not moved an inch.

Although she's visited Lu Contry more than once or twice, her status has risen in the Northern Border, and her opportunities to return are increasingly rare.

Her room is still retained here, not given to someone else as a guest room, which made Anna infinitely happy.

She thought about rewarding him heavily!

Unfortunately, rehearsing the play is really exhausting, she's still out of breath even now.

She needs to take a break.

Today's rest is for better practice tomorrow!

Anna continued to look around the room, the wardrobe, bedside table, single bed, and armchair. Of course, there was the bright floor-to-ceiling glass door, through which she could see the shimmering river in the distance.

This is Lu Contry.

The Northern Border naturally has its unique beautiful scenery too, like snow-capped mountains, lush pine forests, and the eternally cold, seemingly frost-laden air, where each breath seems to steal warmth from the body.

I still prefer Lu Contry.

Unfortunately...

After tidying up her luggage, Anna slid open the glass door and stepped onto the balcony to enjoy the view outside.

She saw on the distant left balcony a woman also sitting in a chair soaking up the sun. From the looks of her, it was ... Chen Lingyun?

Chen Lingyun raised her coffee cup and waved a greeting from afar.

Anna blinked and soon showed a friendly smile.

Great, try to blend in with them like this.

Anna's drama-loving mind immediately conjured images and arias:

"Evil blonde cowgirl, are you here to tear apart our family?"

"No! How could I think of such a thing? I came to join your family!"

Previously, I visited as a guest.

From now on, I will strike as a family member!

Hehe.

Anna left the room and went to the first floor, planning to greet everyone and establish good relationships.

Compared to last time, there are many unfamiliar faces in the villa. But for the sake of my husband, they shouldn't be too neglectful of me.

"Hello." Anna greeted Zhou Hongyu, "What's your name?"

Zhou Hongyu gave her a glance but did not speak.

Anna's smile became frozen.

Is this so unfriendly?

She felt awkward for a moment, then took courage again:

No problem!

Just one person!

Maybe I just ran into someone who's naturally not good at talking.

She hurriedly turned around to find a target and saw Ye Jun holding a mobile phone, walking slowly to the dining table.

Anna knows Ye Jun, so she approached to greet:

"Ye Jun, long time no see..."

"Wait." Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Jun raised her hand to interrupt and then said sternly to the phone:

"Why are there problems at the node again? I've told you to follow the manual! Wait, I'll talk to you in my room."

Anna:.........

In real knife-and-gun combat, of any form, she fears no one in the room.

However, what she wants is to fit in, not to directly overthrow everyone, which made the current situation quite awkward.

No matter how wise and powerful the Queen Witch is, even her cheek can't withstand endless wear!

Anna awkwardly crossed her arms, thinking if these ladies won't give me face, should I switch tactics starting with Yan Yu... Suddenly she heard Li Minghu ask:

"Are you Anna from the Northern Witch Group? I heard from Yan Yu you were originally from Lu Contry, right."

"Yes, how did you know?" Anna turned around and asked, surprised.

The two started talking warmly. Li Minghu is very skilled at such "big sister-style" conversations, and the girls close to her have to admit that she often exudes a motherly warmth—yet her sadness, anxiety, and loneliness are only ever shown to Yan Yu.

After half an hour of chatting, Anna couldn't help but be infected by her affinity and blurted out some complaints about Zhou Hongyu and Ye Jun.

"Hongyu has a character that's not good at socializing." Li Minghu gently explained, "As for Ye Jun, she's the busiest of us, so much so that even Yan Yu sometimes doesn't get much respect from her."

"Actually, you could try Zhao Yuanzhen."

"Zhao Yuanzhen?" Anna immediately frowned, "I was close to her before, but considering her possessiveness towards Yan Yu... isn't that hard to handle?"

"Not necessarily," Li Minghu smiled, "Actually, I think Yuanzhen is the easiest person to form a friendship with. Her thoughts are quite pure and straightforward, not so complicated."

Oh, she's a bit simple.

Anna understood what she meant, hesitatingly said:

"What should I talk with her about? I can't talk about Yan Yu, right."

Wouldn't she explode with jealousy?

"You can talk about him," Li Minghu affirmed with a smile, "I'll teach you, if you want to talk about Yan Yu, you can say it like this..."

————————

Zhao Yuanzhen was a bit upset.

Yan Yu brought his wife home again.

Though it wasn't a newcomer but rather the already familiar Anna, this didn't stop Zhao Yuanzhen from feeling somewhat jealous.

I am the main wife of the Yan Family, bringing a sister home, how can this be done without my consent?

Xie Ruoxi comforted her:

"At least Anna is someone we know, better than those showy and seductive newcomers, right? Plus, her figure is pretty good, although not as good as yours, Sister Zhao, but she could help in suppressing Yan Yu too."

Zhao Yuanzhen felt slightly relieved, but pondered uncertainly:

"I wonder if she truly shares our mindset."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Xie Ruoxi called.

Neither of them went to open the door, as everyone was accustomed to directly using magic to come through the wall after getting permission, easy and convenient.

But the person outside continued to knock, then Anna's voice rang out:

"Sister Zhao, can I come in?"

Because she hadn't spoken Lu Country Language for some time, her crisp voice had a slight rolling and flicking sound, immediately making them realize it was Anna visiting.

Xie Ruoxi quickly got up from the floor to open the door, while Zhao Yuanzhen remained seated cross-legged, leisurely peeling an orange.

She wanted to maintain a composed and dignified pose as the main wife.

Anna remembered Li Minghu's guidance; upon entering, she sat on the ground together with Zhao Yuanzhen and Xie Ruoxi, first chatting casually to ease the atmosphere, then directing the topic to Yan Yu, finally starting to complain:

"...He folded my leg like that, and although I struggled very hard, he's too strong, like a beast!"

Saying this made both Xie Ruoxi and Zhao Yuanzhen feel uneasy; both of them had experienced the power of the Yan Family Spear, suddenly empathizing with Anna.

"Alas." Anna peeled an orange for the two of them, "I also don't know what to do. With my strength, maybe no matter how much more I practice, I'll never be his match. Perhaps I'll be bullied by him for life."

As she spoke, her voice began to choke.

Zhao Yuanzhen hated it most when a girl showed such a useless pose, and upon hearing this, she forgot about the orange and slammed the table:

"Why do you have to fight him one-on-one? Aren't we here?"

"You?"

"Yes, us." Zhao Yuanzhen said seriously, extending her hand, "A single finger can be easily broken by him. What if we clench into a fist? If he wants to come and break us..."

"Give him a punch!" Xie Ruoxi cooperated by shouting.

"I see!" Anna became excited too, "We can unite to take him down!"

"Don't rush into pledging allegiance." Zhao Yuanzhen, with sharp eyes, scanned her from head to toe, "How strong are you?"

"Strength? I'm good at curses, summoning, and..."

"Not that strength, the strength to deal with Yan Yu."

"Oh." Anna gestured a number.

"20 minutes?" Zhao Yuanzhen thought this was a bit short, about Ruoxi's level, and mockingly said, "You're not quite there, you need more practice."

"It's 2 hours." Anna said seriously, "The longest I've lasted is 2 hours."

"Good sister!" Zhao Yuanzhen immediately grasped both her hands, "I will definitely take you along in the future!"

Xie Ruoxi couldn't help but wipe her eyes: Wonderful, our comrade team is growing, every time I see such scenes of friendship and bonds, I can't help but tear up...

"How about tonight?" Zhao Yuanzhen's eyes sparkled, "I'll call Hongyu, we three team up to fight him, Ruoxi assists us."

"Tonight..." Anna wanted to say I was almost broken by him this afternoon, but seeing Sister Zhao so enthusiastic, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she nodded forcefully, "Okay!"
