Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 108 Dragon Gate Formation

After everyone took their seats, the ranking became like this:

Meng Qingxi, Zhang Huaide, Qin Meng, Tang Xiaolian, Zhou Hongyu, Yan Yu, Zhao Yuanzhen, Lin Ning, Chen Lingyun, and Su Yunjin.

The red oil pot was facing Zhou Hongyu. This lady was obviously as her name suggested and had no intention of touching the clear soup pot at all.

Yan Yu picked up the long serving chopsticks, picked up a piece of duck intestine, cooked it in the red oil pan, and then tried the taste.

Mm, definitely spicy.

This is only natural. Since it's a shabu-shabu pot, those who can't handle spicy food will go for the white pot, while the red pot will naturally satisfy those who love spicy food, and it can be as spicy as you want.

"Eat, eat." Seeing Yan Yu take the lead, Zhang Huaide immediately said with a smile, "Everyone, eat and drink!"

Everyone was hungry at this time, and since they were young people and didn't have so many rules, they all stretched out their chopsticks.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Yu felt like he was "sandwiched between two female bears."

"Bear" doesn't describe the body, but the wild way it eats. Zhao Yuanzhen, needless to say, had killed countless people without restraint in her previous life, and now she was fearless in her chopsticks. She first tasted all the dishes on the table, savoring the flavors, and then started with her favorite eel.

The eels were cut into sections, their blood red and thick as pulp. Girls like Lin Ning and Su Yunjin frowned and looked away, but how could Zhao Yuanzhen feel disgusted? He picked up the plate and put it into the hot pot.

Although Zhou Hongyu remained silent, she was eating voraciously. She gripped the dish tightly with her chopsticks, scalded it in the red oil pan until cooked, fished it out, tossed it in a dry sauce of chili powder, and then coated it with a layer of fire-roasted Dahongpao before shoveling it into her mouth—even Yan Yu felt the spiciness for her.

With these two strong women here, the men at the scene were no longer reserved and started to enjoy the food.

"Come on, pour the wine." Zhang Huaide slammed the table, and Qin Meng immediately came over to pour him a glass of wine. "We men drink, and the girls can do whatever they want."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ning opened the large bottle of soy milk on the table and filled the cups of the girls around her.

"Sister Hongyu, are you still drinking?" Tang Xiaolian asked for confirmation.

Zhou Hongyu said coldly, looking at Yan Yu's cup.

"Then I'll drink too." Yan Yu said.

The wine was low-alcohol beer. After all, we had to deal with the secret realm tomorrow, and no one wanted to make news about someone having a hangover. If that happened, it would lead to accountability from the higher-ups, which would be very troublesome.

After everyone raised their glasses and drank together, the atmosphere became noticeably more harmonious.

"Captain Yan," Zhang Huaide stood up and said enthusiastically, "Nice to meet you. I'm going to toast you. I heard that the captain has played with you before. I hope you can give me some advice tomorrow so that I can learn from you."

Although there was a hint of "revenge and redemption" in his words, he didn't say it in a hostile way. Yan Yu also clinked glasses with him happily:

"Okay, what do you want to learn?"

"Of course it's your lightning attack with three times the speed." Zhang Huaide complimented.

"Alas, what's so good about that?" Yan Yu shook his finger and said proudly, "Aren't you the deputy captain in charge of command? How about I teach you some tactical planning?"

"Okay." Zhang Huaide kept smiling, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and secretly observed the other person's expression.

It's so hard to understand... He is completely different from the captain.

"Deputy Captain Chen Lingyun." Tang Xiaolian also stood up and said with a sweet smile, "We are both the only envoys in the team. May I toast you?"

"Okay." Chen Lingyun stood up.

The two girls happened to be sitting face to face, and since they were both not very tall, it felt a bit funny that "I have to stretch my arm to clink glasses with you."

"Speaking of tomorrow's secret realm..." Tang Xiaolian was about to speak when she heard Yan Yu suddenly say:
"Okay, okay, this isn't a private room. Let's not talk about serious matters in public."

Zhang Huaide shook his head imperceptibly. Seeing this, Tang Xiaolian could only smile and sit down again.

The subsequent toasting session was much more harmonious. Everyone talked about some interesting things in life and hot topics on the Internet, and there was no prohibited sensitive content.

"By the way." Tang Xiaolian toasted Yan Yu and suddenly asked with ill intent, his eyes darting between the four girls opposite him, "Is Captain Yan single now? Or does he have a girlfriend?"

This question is actually difficult to answer. If you lie and say you do, you'll be flattering yourself and be laughed at. But if you honestly say you don't, the girl will probably ask: "Why not? Aren't there so many beautiful girls on the team? Are you not interested in any of them?"

Just like when Chen Lingyun asked Ye Jun, it was a complete trap question. Yan Yu naturally wouldn't be fooled and said with a smile:
"Why, you want to introduce someone to me?"

Tang Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, then she heard Qin Meng beside her suddenly chuckle, wipe his mouth with a napkin and say:

"Introducing someone... She herself is still single."

"Sure." Tang Xiaolian was annoyed at this silly teammate, but said calmly, "What type does Captain Yan like?"

Now, not only the girls from the Pingxi Army, but also the girls from the Zhendong Army pricked up their ears. Even Zhao Yuanzhen, who had been eating non-stop, put down his chopsticks and stopped eating, secretly alert.

By the way, when Brother Crow in the movie encountered this situation, what were his lines before flipping the table?

She secretly supported the table with both hands from below, ready to attack at any time, only to hear Yan Yu say in distress:
"That's really stumping me. I can't think of what kind of girl would be truly worthy of me. Sigh—sometimes being too good can be a vexing thing. Anyway, I'll finish this glass of wine. You can do whatever you want."

He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then continued to drink by himself, his face full of indescribable melancholy and vicissitudes.

Tang Xiaolian's expression froze on her face. Yan Yu's answer broke through the boundaries of her experience, so that she had no idea how to respond at this moment.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became awkward. Zhou Hongyu slowly turned his head and looked at Yan Yu blankly.

The layers of frost that had been frozen on her beautiful and heroic face finally loosened and shattered, revealing the incredible and disbelief underneath.

...Why did I lose to you, a fool with a blind eye, last time?

Thinking of the last time she was defeated and humiliated, she suddenly lost her appetite to eat. She threw her chopsticks on the edge of the bowl and started drinking one glass after another.

Yan Yu and Zhou Hongyu were drinking alone, looking like a pair of infatuated lovers who had just broken up, so much so that everyone suddenly felt that they were "a good match".

Then he shuddered and quickly threw the thought out of his mind: What a match!
The girls on the Zhendong Army side thought that if someone wanted to pair Zhou Hongyu with Yan Yu, the captain would definitely sneer and say, "Is she worthy?" But the girls on the Pingxi Army side thought that if Yan Yu was paired with Zhou Hongyu, Zhou Hongyu would definitely draw her sword and chop the person who pulled the red string into pieces.

"Captain, why are you drinking alone?" To break the deadlock, Qin Meng quickly said, "I'll drink with you."

"I don't want to drink anymore." Zhou Hongyu put down the wine glass. This low-alcohol wine tasted as bland as water. It would be better to eat some more food.

She turned to the waiter and said, "Madam, please give us another plate of eel."

"You have a good appetite." Seeing Zhou Hongyu start eating again, Yan Yu put down his wine glass and said with a smile.

"I advise you to eat more." Zhou Hongyu stared at the hot pot and said coldly, "If you lose tomorrow, I'm afraid you won't have such a good appetite anymore."

"Haha." Yan Yu was not angry, but raised his glass and said, "If that day really comes, I will only be happy for you and have an even better appetite."

"Boring." Zhou Hongyu ignored his toast and stared at the hot pot in silence for a moment. Suddenly, he put down his chopsticks and stood up. "It was just a long story, but I didn't get any information. I'm leaving."

Seeing the captain taking the lead to leave, the other four members of the team also stood up and said goodbye to the Zhendong Army:
"Let's go."

"Eat slowly."

"See you on the mission tomorrow."

Regardless of everyone's attitude towards Yan Yu, everyone still has a pretty good impression of the four beautiful girls, so there is no need to put on a bad face and act like a bad guy at this time.

When they arrived at the counter, Zhou Hongyu tilted his head to take a look, and Deputy Captain Zhang Huaide went over to pay the bill.

Meng Qingxi, who was standing behind him, remained silent the entire time. At this moment, he finally couldn't help but say:
“I’m not full yet…”

"Stop making noise, let's go to another stall to eat." Zhou Hongyu said lightly.

"Okay, okay." Tang Xiaolian immediately became happy and hugged Zhou Hongyu's arm, "Sister Hongyu, let's go eat at home and not with them!"

On the other side, Yan Yu continued to serve the dishes calmly, and then looked at the silent girls around him and asked:
"Finish the rest of the food before leaving?"

"Yeah." Lin Ning was a little listless.

"What? Are you tired?" Yan Yu asked in surprise, "Don't you want to go to Hongya Cave to take pictures? Fine, let's go back to the hotel after we finish eating..."

"Let's take pictures, let's take pictures!" When the topic of taking pictures while traveling was mentioned, the girls really came alive and started scrambling to pick up the food.
