Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 701 - 5 Can It Work If Were Not Family

Zhou Hongyu considered herself to have the spell “Phoenix Sword” specifically for close-quarter combat, facing an enemy with an extremely fierce Great Bright Fire, anything and anyone could be melted down. On the other hand, Yan Yu, known for his agility and superior evasion, was near helpless in such constrained spaces, and his exquisite swordsmanship might not even have room to unfold.

No, she had to walk in the front to avoid him getting caught in any ambush, then she’d have to go over and rescue him… How annoying.

Zhou Hongyu thought in her heart, but did not speak, just speedily stepped up her pace, planning to get ahead of Yan Yu.

Yan Yu did not know her plan. Seeing her walking faster and faster, he thought she was becoming impatient, so he also hurriedly quickened his pace to avoid the “mother dragon” throwing a fit later, which would require some physical effort to calm down, and there was the risk of ruining their past intimacy.

Zhou Hongyu, upon seeing him speed up, became a bit annoyed and clicked her tongue.

This environment is not suited for your Sword Immortal skills, can’t you be a bit self-aware? Just stand still and let me make the way in the front.

Yan Yu heard her clicking her tongue, and he was speechless: Isn’t it, we’ve barely been here a few minutes, can’t you be a bit patient?

It’s not reasonable that I have to play Goalkeeper right off the bat; I didn’t design this Mysterious Realm!

Forget it, don’t bicker with her, just get through this corridor quickly.

He performed the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step and practically vanished into the distance like flying.

Zhou Hongyu hurriedly employed the Thousand-Mile Movement Technique, but how could this Three Arts and Five Spells level movement technique compare to his proper Eight Trigrams Step? Seeing Yan Yu running ahead without a trace, she finally couldn’t help but shout:

“Damn it, what are you running for! Come back!”

Yan Yu actually did stop and peeked out from behind the shadow of an ice wall ahead, asking,

“What’s up?”

“Let me be in the front!” Zhou Hongyu commanded.

“Oh, you prefer the front.” Yan Yu immediately stepped aside, “Then after you.”

Zhou Hongyu, not bothering to explain anything about “I’ll lead the way upfront without fear of traps,” simply intended to go ahead, but discovered the passage was truly narrow — single file was already difficult, and even though Yan Yu had stepped aside to make room, squeezing past was somewhat troublesome.

What to do? Just force through! Zhou Hongyu was long used to “creating conditions if there weren’t any.”

Just as she was about to forcefully make her way through the cramped space, she heard Yan Yu saying,

“Wait a moment.”

“What now?” Zhou Hongyu asked, frowning.

“I’m measuring it.” Yan Yu raised his arm, gauging the width of the passage.

Very narrow, but not to the extent that two people definitely couldn’t make it through, maybe if they squeezed… right?

No sooner had he lowered his arm than Zhou Hongyu, without another word, started to move forward, only to hear Yan Yu saying,

“Wait another second.”

“What is it now?” Zhou Hongyu asked impatiently.

“When squeezing through, don’t hold your breath and suck in your stomach,” Yan Yu kindly reminded her, “otherwise it might be troublesome if you get stuck.”

Zhou Hongyu’s eye twitched; although she found Yan Yu overly fussy, she had to admit he was right — holding one’s breath and sucking in the stomach required effort, and if sucked in to the limit and then accidentally got stuck, one would end up in the triple quandary of “needing to suck in to get out, needing to breathe to have the strength to suck in, but finding it hard to breathe deeply when stuck.”

She silently turned to her side and began squeezing into the narrow space Yan Yu had made.

Their bodies pressed together, and rustling sounds emanated from their clothing. Zhou Hongyu saw his face right before her eyes, but discovered that Yan Yu was calmly looking back at her.

A sudden wave of indescribable shame and irritation rose in her heart… She should’ve turned her back to him and passed that way.

The fact that Yan Yu wasn’t taking a deep breath and sucking in his stomach meant he could feel Zhou Hongyu’s soft yet resilient body grazing past, but there wasn’t a strong sense of compression, which meant there probably wasn’t a risk of getting stuck.

“What are you looking at?” Zhou Hongyu suddenly asked.

“Ah?” Yan Yu had been lost in thought and hadn’t realized his gaze was drifting downward; her mention snapped him out of it.

Take a few more good looks!

Zhou Hongyu was about to get angry but then remembered back in Jawa at Maowu City, they had hugged and kissed, although it was to shift the influence of the Red Lotus Demon Sound in a moment of urgency. Now, to erupt in anger just because he took a few glances seemed like making a mountain out of a molehill.
