Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1143: Chapter 100: Out of Control (Part 2)

“It’s not like that,” Li Minghu interrupted him. “Though I was in a bad state back then, my rationality was unaffected. Agreeing with you was my own decision.”

She once again showed a gentle smile:

“Looking back now, I’m really glad I made that choice.”

“Really?” Yan Yu felt a bit embarrassed instead. “Well, that’s good.”

Passing through a sea of flowers, having observed countless people, yet struck by a single sentence from Li Minghu, left him bashful; sincerity truly is the best weapon.

The two gazed at each other in silence, reading emotions from each other’s eyes. Yan Yu finally noticed that at some point, Li Minghu’s eyes had been completely overwhelmed by a blood-red color that imbued her irises.

“Minghu, you…” he exclaimed in surprise.

Li Minghu suddenly kissed him.

Her attack was both domineering and powerful, completely catching Yan Yu off guard. Not only did she seal his lips, but her hands also locked his arms tightly. Her blood-red hair seemed to come alive as it threaded through the seams of his robe, effortlessly removing his armor.

Yan Yu grew increasingly aware that something was wrong; he realized there was definitely something unusual about Li Minghu. This Valkyrie’s fighting style had always been soft yet firm, not this overly aggressive, direct approach—you’re not Zhou Hongyu!

But since the other party had already made a move, Yan Yu couldn’t possibly push her away and say, “Let’s pause for a moment,” and then investigate what was wrong with Li Minghu.

After all, she was the Valkyrie from his past life!

In his past life, Yan Yu always regarded the Valkyrie as his spiritual idol. Unfortunately, by the time he truly showcased his strength, the Valkyrie had already died from a ruptured artery, and they never got the chance to battle.

Now being able to battle the Valkyrie was an unfulfilled dream for Yan Yu over two lifetimes! A dream-chasing person fears nothing; even if Li Minghu turned into a colossal blood snake right then and there, Yan Yu would fight her to the end!

Their battle grew increasingly vigorous, and the pressure on Yan Yu also intensified. He even felt that this aggressive red-haired Valkyrie was even more formidable than Zhou Hongyu teaming up with Zhao Yuanzhen.

The reason was rooted in the difference in physical constitution. No matter how ruthless a Golden Core cultivator’s tactics might be, they still feel pain when injured and fatigue after prolonged battles. But the Valkyrie’s new body seemed limitless in stamina and unaware of pain, forcing Yan Yu, as the attacker, to avoid confronting her head-on.

Meanwhile, Lin Ning and Chen Lingyun were in another room, munching cookies and sipping coffee, engaging in some girl talk.

“One, two, three, four, five,” Lin Ning counted on her fingers, “six, seven, eight, nine… add Anna, making ten. It can’t be any more than that! More, and we won’t have room in the villa.”

“He wouldn’t,” Chen Lingyun smiled, “his taste is quite demanding. First, they must be powerful female supernatural beings, and secondly, they must be exceptionally beautiful. How many such people can there be in the world?”

“You’re right,” Lin Ning pondered, “Xu Jin is also a cultivator in the team, but just isn’t pretty enough… oh, no, I don’t mean to comment on her looks, I just feel like the captain truly is a seasoned face connoisseur.”

“What’s wrong with being a face connoisseur?” Chen Lingyun smiled, “The more specifications, even if each is reasonable, when combined, it’s still hard to find an adequate match. This is advantageous for us.”

“I wonder what everyone sees in him,” Lin Ning remarked sarcastically.

“How about you?” Chen Lingyun asked with a grin.

“Me…” Lin Ning blushed slightly, “you go first.”

“As for me,” Chen Lingyun suddenly recalled the day at the school corridor in the third year of high school when she first encountered Yan Yu.

Even though he tried to pretend he didn’t know her, his poor acting totally gave him away, hehe.

“It was love at first sight.”

“Sneaky, Lingyun!” Lin Ning exclaimed, “You’re basically saying nothing at all!”

“I didn’t lie,” Chen Lingyun responded sweetly, “and I know you didn’t.”

“Well, as for me,” Lin Ning hesitated then finally said, “the moment I fell for him…”

“…was probably when I started following him.”

“Following?”

“Yeah,” Lin Ning said, her expression earnest, “when you follow someone, you continually focus on their back, not missing a moment of their brilliance.”

“Seeing enough of their brilliance, it’s only natural you’ll fall for them, right?”

“Indeed,” Chen Lingyun nodded, “that reason is straightforward and rational, much easier to comprehend than Yun Jin’s.”

“What’s Yun Jin’s reason for liking the captain?” Lin Ning eagerly asked, “Tell me quietly, I won’t let Yun Jin know!”

“Can’t do that,” Chen Lingyun said with a light smile.

“Please tell me!” Lin Ning refused to give up.

“Not happening,” asserting Chen Lingyun.

The girls playfully squabbled for a while and eventually grew tired, deciding to lie down on the bed.

“I wonder what the captain is doing now, if he’s done yet,” Lin Ning voiced while staring at the ceiling.

“Why don’t we sneak a peek?” Chen Lingyun suddenly proposed, “We surprise him by phasing through the wall; think he’d get utterly shocked and never recover?”

“Forget it,” Lin Ning replied disdainfully, “him not bouncing back wouldn’t benefit us in any way!”

“For fun!”

“I’m not doing it; if you want to, go yourself.”

“What if I revealed Yun Jin’s secret in exchange?”

“Still no.”

Lin Ning pushed the mischievous Chen Lingyun aside and started playing with her phone independently. Suddenly, a message popped up on the screen sent from Yan Yu’s phone, with just one word:

Help.

Shocked, Lin Ning quickly leapt off the bed, dashed out, and reached the door of Yan Yu’s room. She phased through the wall, like a carp skillfully leaping through the turbulent waters of the Dragon Gate.

Inside the room, Yan Yu and Li Minghu were struggling—not in a playful way, but genuinely battling with each other.

“Enough!” Yan Yu loudly scolded her, “The Dual Cultivation Secret Technique is over; what you need now is to rest your body!”

“What I want is your body!” Li Minghu replied urgently, her face full of eagerness and yearning as her blood-red hair tried quickly to bind him, but Yan Yu’s Cloud-Parting Eight Trigrams Step evaded her agilely.

“You’ll have plenty of chances later! Can’t you let me catch my breath? If love endures, why insist on morning and evening closeness?”

“I only desire the present!”

“Enough!” Lin Ning quickly rushed forward to separate them, angrily shouting, “Put some clothes on already!”

Chen Lingyun’s head peeked halfway through the door board, observing the chaos inside with an utterly satisfied grin, having seen enough of the fun.

Dual cultivation is quite taxing on True Yang, so after the secret technique concludes, the girls typically ensure Yan Yu gets proper rest.

However, it was clear to anyone that Li Minghu was far from normal at this point, not someone who could be reasoned with properly.

Lin Ning initially attempted to mediate but soon grew truly angry. Protecting Yan Yu with her body behind her, she performed a sword technique, and both the Green Bamboo Sword and Dan Yan Sword flew out together, aiming to strike Li Minghu’s limbs.

Li Minghu swung her blood-red sword with her right hand, deflecting the Dan Yan Sword’s attack, while her blood-red hair fiercely whipped around to bind the downward-slashing Green Bamboo Sword.

The flying sword cut through iron like mud, but against Li Minghu’s bizarre hair, it was like a beast sinking into the sea, tightly bound. Suddenly, a flash of lightning illuminated the air as Sky Flash Sword soared forth, target locked on Yan Yu behind Lin Ning.

Lin Ning was startled, rushing to counter with her body, only to be shoved aside by Yan Yu from behind. He reached out two fingers, invoking a curse with the swiftness of thunder, instantly pinching the tip of the sword.

Simultaneously, the Soul Hooking Nether Light of Black and White Impermanence and the Soul Capturing Chain immobilized Li Minghu.

With a casual flip of his right hand, Yan Yu tossed the Sky Flash Sword now devoid of control onto the ground. He then looked at the restrained Li Minghu by Chen Lingyun, finally unable to maintain his serious expression:

“Oh dear, scared me to death!”
