Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

"Shall we take a walk?" the woman asked.

"Wait a moment, I'll talk to the kids."

From the room came the man's practiced words, adept at dealing with the children. After promising that "next time for sure" he'd take everyone on a sword flight to see the Great Barrier Reef's Blue Hole, to Africa to see zebras, to Antarctica to see penguins, and even to visit the Lu Country astronauts at the space station...

he finally managed to calm the noisy children, with none clamoring to "go for a walk with Mommy Su" anymore.

"Really now." The man closed the door of the room, griping as he said, "When I was kid, I wasn't so fussy. Give me a bucket of fried chicken, and I was good whether it was studying or doing housework... Kids these days are too shrewd, not even handheld game consoles can fool them."

"Are you blaming me for not teaching them well?" the woman asked with a laugh, covering her mouth. Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire

"Not at all, I can't bring myself to blame you," the man immediately recanted.

The two of them left the villa and walked along the road towards the distance.

The sky was somewhat dim, the end of the horizon showing intense fiery clouds that looked like a lover's blushing cheeks.

The warm, smooth skin of the opposite sex touched the back of his hand. Yan Yu naturally took her hand, skillfully intertwined their fingers, and enveloped her soft and delicate hand.

"I've actually fantasized about this a lot," the woman said.

"Fantasized about what?"

"Back then... during our team times, when I walked this road home from school at night, I would often fantasize about holding hands with you, walking down this road together... just the two of us."

"Isn't it just the two of us now?"

"That's because they just happen to be absent."

"When they are around, can't we hold hands?"

"Hold hands, huh? How many hands do you have to hold?"

"I'll always leave one to hold yours."

The woman's cheeks reddened. Even though they were an old married couple now, she still had no defense against some of her husband's words.

"I've changed my mind now," she said, lowering her bashful head, her voice as timid as a mosquito's.

But Yan Yu's hearing was not that of an ordinary person. He immediately caught her barely audible voice and asked:

"Don't like holding hands anymore?"

"No," the woman shook her head, "I just realized there are many more romantic things we could do."

"Like what?"

"Like you said you'd take the kids to the Great Barrier Reef to see the Blue Hole... I kind of want to go too."

"Let's go then."

"Eh, now?"

"Why not? Sword flight makes the trip convenient."

"But Guoguo and the others are still at home..." the woman's voice stopped abruptly, as Huang Tingjian had already transformed into a sword light soaring into the sky, carrying the two towards the southeast, sweeping past the skies of Liangxi Prefecture, Gusu Prefecture, and Jianghai Prefecture, startling many Lu Country citizens to look up.

"Is that a meteor?"

"It looks like sword light..."

"That's Yan Yu's Huang Tingjian light! It's Yan Yu!"

Many people quickly fetched their phones to take pictures. With the status Yan Yu had now, common appearances in the Mysterious Realm and foreign invasions were simply not worth his personal attention—many people hadn't even seen Huang Tingjian's light, it was news worthy of a special snapshot to post with comments on social media.

The news even alarmed the Zhendong Army, and other system bigwigs called Li Weiguo to inquire if something had happened in East Sea that would require Yan Yu to personally resolve it with sword control.

Li Weiguo was also bewildered, "What happened? How come I don't know about it?"

By this time, Yan Yu had already taken Su Yunjin from Yangshan Town towards the open sea, when suddenly she said:

"Your phone is ringing."

"Never mind it, help me dismiss the call."

"The noise from sword flight is too loud," Su Yunjin sighed, "How will you explain it when they ask later?"

"I'll just say I took my wife out for some fun," Yan Yu smiled nonchalantly.

"No, I mean when they ask you, how will you explain it?"

"I'll say I took the big wife out for fun."

"Stop it, when did I become your big wife?" Su Yunjin really wanted to punch him hard on the chest, but a thick sweetness welled up inside her, causing her body to soften and become feverish. She wrapped her arms around her husband and whispered in his ear:

"Stop talking nonsense... just keep me company."

"As you wish."

Sword Flight made rapid progress, making Thousand miles seem like moments, and soon they arrived at the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park in the South Pacific—a place with endless stretches of coral reefs, but because it was nighttime, the view wasn't clear, which was a bit disappointing.

"Oops, I forgot." Yan Yu slapped his forehead and said, "There's a time difference here with Lu Country; it's already night, so it doesn't look good."

"It's okay," Su Yunjin smiled tenderly, "Follow me."

She took her husband's hand and they descended into the sea, sword in hand, with incantations already forming in her palm.

The Water Repelling Spell of the Water Escape Technique parted the surrounding seawater, forming a large spherical space without water, enveloping the two of them within.

"My wife is really capable," Yan Yu laughed, "This water repelling technique, even I must admit I'm inferior."

"Nonsense talker," Su Yunjin scolded him, "I specialize in water-based magic, how can you compare with me?"

Protected by the Water Repelling Spell, the two drifted slowly along the ocean floor, using Divine Sense to appreciate the surrounding coral reefs and schools of fish.

Many curious small fish swam towards the large bubble and upon entering the waterless space passed through the bubble's surface, suddenly lost buoyancy support, fell as they were briefly deprived of oxygen, before heading back into the water from the bottom of the bubble and hastily swam away, still in shock.

"Are we disturbing them?" Su Yunjin watched the panicked fish and sighed, "Let's go back then.

"Go back now? For what?" Yan Yu opposed the suggestion, "The kids are all at home, and whatever I do, I have to bring them along, which is very inconvenient."

"The kids like their dad; that's normal," Su Yunjin purposely made a sad face, "Unlike me, I'm always disciplining them, now they all run away when they see me."

"Does Mommy Su like daddy just like the kids do?" Yan Yu settled onto the sandy ocean floor, embracing his little wife in his arms and began kissing her.

"Mhm," Su Yunjin was shy again, simply nodding her head.

"How much do you like me?"

"I... I've already had kids for you, what else do you need to ask?"

"That's not enough," Yan Yu gently lifted her chin, nibbled at her ear, and said, "Or we could here..."

"Are you serious?" Su Yunjin pushed him surprisingly, but without strength, she didn't move him.

"No one's around!" Yan Yu reasoned as if it was obvious, hands mischievously starting to wander, "There are no divers or deep-sea cameras nearby, my Divine Sense is scanning all the time!"

"Still, we can't!" Su Yunjin was both embarrassed and irritated, turning red to her earlobes as she stammered, "We can't...not here...this is the wilderness! Let's just go home."

"I told you, it's very inconvenient with the kids at home, and at this depth, there's virtually no light, no one will find out..." Yan Yu held her tighter, about to continue his tempting whisper, but then he noticed that her struggles were becoming weaker, and he was immediately overjoyed.

Su Yunjin sighed, the incantation of the Water Repelling Spell in her hand accelerated, and the waterless spherical space quickly shrank until it barely enclosed the two of them.

Then she deployed the Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Art, creating hidden currents around them to prevent any unwary marine life from disturbing them.

Not far from the pair, a protruding underwater geothermal vent suddenly spewed out a hot, sulfur-scented scalding jet of water, which then dissolved into the surrounding warm seawater.
