Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

"The situation at the Southern Border has changed slightly," Li Weiguo guessed what Yan Yu was thinking. "We suspect that Tianzhu's invasion of the Southern Border isn't just common resource plundering but has another purpose."

"What purpose?" Yan Yu asked, puzzled.

In my previous life, I never heard anything about it!

"That's why the Annan Army sent Li Minghu," Li Weiguo said leisurely. "She is now the commander of the Southern Border intelligence infiltration team, just like you were before."

Yan Yu immediately understood: a position like this, where one personally leads the team into battle, requires not only enough strength for self-protection to avoid being easily assassinated by the enemy, but also sufficient intelligence and strategy to lead the team through complex behind-enemy-lines environments and combat missions. Therefore, within the Annan Army, only Valkyrie Li Minghu has both intelligence and bravery like me!

If the Annan Army had Yan Yu, they would naturally send Yan Yu. But unfortunately, when choosing the tallest from a group of dwarfs, even considering that Li Minghu isn't in the best health, you still can't hand over such intelligence gathering work to Li Zhaojiang—this guy spends his whole day either chasing girls or playing video games. The higher-ups of the Annan Army would have to be out of their minds to trust him with it.

"All right, I'll wait for her to come back and discuss it. No rush," Yan Yu nodded. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard Li Weiguo call out again:

"Hang on, don't you want a reward for the merit you've earned this time?"

"Just credit it to my account," said Yan Yu.

"This time it's not cash," Li Weiguo said, unable to help crying and laughing, although most of the time it was indeed cash rewards, after all, there weren't so many top-class merits to give him. "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to find a defensive Magic Treasure?"

"Uh," Yan Yu thought, I've actually already found one. "Got anything good?"

"You've really helped the Dingbei Army out big time this time," Li Weiguo handed over a slip. "They just recently got their hands on a Magic Treasure called 'Tai Qing Yuan Qi Smoke Haze.' Knowing you were looking for a defensive Magic Treasure, they specifically sent it over for you."

"Are you sure it's a defensive Magic Treasure?" asked Yan Yu.

"Confirmed. The owner of the Magic Treasure was a civilian cultivator who recently passed away from the flu," Li Weiguo said calmly. "He had no relatives involved in cultivation, so the Magic Treasure was confiscated by the state."

Passed away from the flu... Why not say they choked to death on water?

Although he knew the Magic Treasure was not acquired through proper means, Yan Yu was no moral guardian. He took the slip from Li Weiguo and said:

"Alright, since the Magic Treasure is now ownerless, I'll try to arrange for it."

"Just distribute it as you like," Li Weiguo waved his hand. "As long as it ends up with the Zhenhai Team."

Yan Yu took the slip to the warehouse and received the Tai Qing Yuan Qi Smoke Haze, which was in the shape of a misty satin, as light as a feather, as soft as floating cotton. It was claimed that as soon as True Yuan was injected into it, it would immediately expand and envelop the person, capable of defending against blades and resisting water and fire, making it a very useful defensive Magic Treasure.

So the original owner died of the flu, huh? After all, with this thing in hand, any other cause of death would seem unreasonable.

However, for Xie Ruoxi, the 'Ocean Tide Flute', which combined offense and defense, was far more suitable for her. As for this Tai Qing Yuan Qi Smoke Haze, I'll go back and ask Zhao Yuanzhen if she wants it.

Yan Yu quickly made up his mind, then suddenly heard his mobile phone ringing.

He swiped it open only to find it was a message from Tang Xiaolian.

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Are you there?

Why the sudden servile attitude? Yan Yu quickly scrolled up and found that in the past, this girl had always started chatting with him with a "Captain Yan, Captain Yan, I have something to tell you."

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Just pretend I never said what I said in the restaurant today, forget about it.

[Win Over with Virtue]: Sorry, I can't do that. And when you turned your head away and couldn't see, I secretly recorded you crying with my phone.

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Yan Yu, are you some kind of devil!

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Ahhh, I knew I shouldn't have said those things! It has to be the after-effects of the Joyful Sound! After-effects!

[Win Over with Virtue]: Then why wasn't I affected?

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Because you are heartless! Yan Yu, you are heartless!

[Win Over with Virtue]: A heartless man, so I can't accept your confession. That makes sense, doesn't it?

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Please don't bring it up again, I beg you!

[Win Over with Virtue]: Are you referring to you confessing to me in the restaurant today?

[Miaojiang Girl Tang Lingling]: Exactly, you're just like Ling Yun.
