Chapter 935: Chapter 4: The Eve of Crossing Tribulation_2

With this thought in mind, Yan Yu couldn’t help but feel his heart surge with emotion, full of longing.

The era dominated by cultivators has come to an end! Mortals are about to grasp the power that belongs to them!

Although I have become a cultivator in this life, it doesn’t stop me from being a spiritual mortal warrior, pushing the community of mortal warriors onto the stage of history with my own hands!

“Is there any problem with this power storage tank?” Ye Jun asked curiously, noticing him staring at the external energy storage device and zoning out.

“Don’t you think it’s beautiful?” Yan Yu praised enthusiastically, “This perfect metallic luster…”

“A big iron tank,” Ye Jun said.

“And those elegant contour lines…” Yan Yu was not stingy with his compliments.

“Round and bulky,” Ye Jun said.

“It contains a huge power capable of destroying heaven and earth!” Yan Yu spoke with a tone of adoration.

“Exploding it wouldn’t cause as much damage as an electric car,” Ye Jun said.

“Hmph,” Yan Yu said grumpily, “no matter how much you tease me, it doesn’t change the fact that you have no concept of the true value of this thing.”

“I didn’t say it’s worthless,” Ye Jun hurriedly defended, “I was just… ah, to put it simply, it’s basically just a large battery.”

“Forget it, forget it,” unable to explain about mortal warriors to her, Yan Yu waved his hand and said, “Let’s talk about this formation.”

“Oh,” Ye Jun got back on track, “our initial research was on the Xuan Guang Ruler’s Great Array, with the goal of withstanding all external attacks. Later assessment found that the power of heavenly tribulation is too great. If we only considered defense, the formation would not hold up, so we decided to delay and drag out the process.”

“The right approach,” Yan Yu nodded in approval, “it’s unlikely to fully withstand heavenly tribulation. Otherwise, if you activate the formation, you could just sit inside without caring about anything, lying down and crossing the tribulation, that would be too against the heavens.”

“This Taiqing Yuan Qi Smoke Mist Array, with your Taiqing Yuan Qi Smoke as the array device, can expand the smoke mist to cover the entire formation. It can’t directly resist the Tribulation Thunder, and of course, won’t suffer direct damage from it. All foreign substances and energy entering the interior of the formation will be delayed, weakened, and eroded.”

“Is the energy supply external?” Yan Yu asked.

“Yes,” Ye Jun replied, “to maintain the smoke mist over the whole area of the formation, currently no cultivator can provide so much True Yuan, so we will set up tens of thousands of tanks to supply the energy to the formation.”

Yan Yu:……

Tens of thousands of tanks, really something. Those who know think you’re helping with Crossing Tribulation, those who don’t might think you’re building a star destroyer!

“To be precise,” Ye Jun continued, “the initial plan is for fifty-four thousand tanks, buried underneath the location where the formation is set up.”

“Heavenly tribulation will blow the scene to smithereens,” Yan Yu shook his head, “just burying them underground is not safe.”

“It’s fine, the tanks are connected in parallel,” Ye Jun explained, “if a part is destroyed, it doesn’t affect the functioning of the other parts.”

Yan Yu thought it over carefully.

If that’s the case, it means the formation doesn’t need any action on my part, it will just lay out and run automatically. Twenty thousand tanks should last a few hours at least, and if it were in the Cultivation World, where could you find twenty thousand cultivators to help you maintain a formation?

Great, great, with this formation, I can rest easy!

“When do you plan to transcend the tribulation?” Ye Jun asked.

“Tomorrow,” Yan Yu answered, “It’s not good to keep dragging it on.”

“So soon?” Ye Jun expressed her surprise, then took out the Xuan Guang Ruler, “Here, take this. Your Taiqing Yuan Qi Smoke will be used as the array device, you’re lacking a defensive magic treasure, use mine.”

“Thanks,” Yan Yu didn’t stand on ceremony, he’s just borrowing it for a day, “I’ll return it to you after I finish transcending the tribulation tomorrow.”

“Mhm,” Ye Jun fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, “You will come back safely, right?”

“Of course,” Yan Yu smiled, “Who do you think I am?”

“I know,” Ye Jun sighed deeply and spoke softly, “I’m just… a bit worried about you.”

“Then come here and hug me,” Yan Yu opened his arms and said, “A hug to comfort you.”

He was originally just joking, but Ye Jun immediately stepped forward and hugged Yan Yu tightly.

“You must come back safe and sound,” she kissed Yan Yu on the left cheek playfully, “And the right cheek, I’ll kiss when you return.”

Yan Yu, smelling the faint fragrance from her body, felt a bit restless, but still forcefully suppressed his desire, laughing as he said, “A kiss on the cheek won’t be enough when you come back.”

“You can kiss anywhere.” Ye Jun rolled her eyes at him and said, “You can decide then.”

Taking the Xuan Guang Ruler with him, Yan Yu bid farewell to Ye Jun with reluctance and turned to find Zhao Yuanzhen. Upon entering the team’s meeting room, he saw only Xie Ruoxi sitting on the sofa, daydreaming, while no one else was present.

“Where’s Sister Zhao?” Yan Yu asked.

“Lingyun took everyone out to have fun,” Xie Ruoxi replied, “saying that if Crossing Tribulation fails, the soul would scatter, so she took her out tonight for some good food.”

“So they’re having a last meal!” Yan Yu laughed out loud, “Crossing Tribulation is tomorrow, and they’re feasting tonight… Well, let her indulge. As long as she is mentally stable, it’s fine.”

He turned and left the meeting room, heading back to his room’s door. Xie Ruoxi silently followed behind and suddenly asked:

“What about you, Captain?”

“Me?” Yan Yu was unlocking his door and answered upon hearing her question, “My mental state is very steady; I don’t need to do anything in particular to adjust.”

“Oh.” Xie Ruoxi asked in a low voice, “So how confident are you in successfully Crossing Tribulation?”

“One hundred percent,” Yan Yu responded.

Xie Ruoxi was stunned for a moment and exclaimed:

“Isn’t that too absolute?”

“In that case, let’s make it 99%,” Yan Yu said helplessly, “leaving 1% for the unexpected.”

As he pushed the door to enter, Xie Ruoxi hugged him from behind.

“Captain,” Xie Ruoxi said with a choked voice, “even if there’s a one percent risk, I don’t want to lose you…”

“Don’t worry,” Yan Yu patted her hand, confidently saying, “Nothing will happen to me, just wait for my safe return tomorrow.”

“I don’t want to wait until tomorrow,” Xie Ruoxi finally mustered the courage and said, “I want… tonight, to be intimate with you, just like Sister Zhao.”

Yan Yu turned in surprise and saw this silly girl, although blushing profusely, still stubbornly clutching the corner of his robe with a “I won’t leave unless you agree” look.

“Are you sick?” Yan Yu asked, bewildered, “Why suddenly bring this up?”

“Because…” Xie Ruoxi said with her head down, “you mentioned there’s a one percent chance of accident, right? So, at least let me… Even if there’s an accident, I don’t want to live the rest of my life in regret.”

Yan Yu silently looked at her, thinking to himself that my Dual Cultivation with others, no matter how much of it was feelings, would always be mixed with some utilitarian components. Only Ruoxi doesn’t need my help at all, wanting to sleep with me is simply because she likes me…

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but soften his heart and let Xie Ruoxi take his hand and pull him into her own room.

“This…” Xie Ruoxi first locked the door, then opened her closet and took out a costume, saying, “Do you want to see me wear this, Captain?”

“Bunny girl?” Yan Yu asked, puzzled, “Why would you want to wear that?”

“No,” Xie Ruoxi said bashfully, “the last time I wore this, you seemed to really like it…”

Nonsense, because that one shows the most skin, making you reveal the tastiest bashful expression, making me unable to resist teasing you!

Yan Yu had no objections and nodded:

“Then let’s go with that one.”

Xie Ruoxi nodded, her cheeks blushing, and began to change her clothes quietly.

Before, she would shyly shield herself with the closet door, but now, determined, she let go of all inhibitions, undressed her coat that concealed her figure right in front of Yan Yu, revealing her statuesque form.

Yan Yu’s attention was immediately drawn. This little Ruoxi, although usually seeming like a meek rabbit, was actually not small at all, second only to Zhao Yuanzhen and Anna, and seemed to be even healthier than Ye Jun… It’s a pity that she always wore loose clothing, making it hard to appreciate properly.

After Xie Ruoxi put on the bunny girl outfit, she was about to continue with the pantyhose, but heard Yan Yu say:

“No need to put those on, it will be troublesome when taking them off later.”

“Captain?” Xie Ruoxi blinked and saw that Yan Yu had already closed in, showing a wolfish grin, his hands gripping her shoulders.

“Wait, wait a moment… At least let me put on the bunny ears… Mmph…”
