Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 750 - 23: Shower Room Jenga_2
```
After a moment of work, I suddenly felt the need to pee and told my teammates before heading out to use the restroom.
Just as I pulled open the door, I heard Yan Yu’s voice from a distance:
"... hurry back after you’re done."
Then came Tang Xiaolian’s voice:
"Got it! Geez, look at that expression, don’t tell me you’re shy..."
I quickly peeked out and saw Yan Yu’s door just as it closed with a snap.
Xie Ruoxi:......
Oh no! The captain has been ambushed by the new girl in the middle of the night! She’s going to get it on with him!
I rushed to Yan Yu’s door, ready to blast it open with a bolt of Divine Thunder when a scene suddenly popped into my mind:
I saw Yan Yu and Tang Xiaolian practicing horse riding, with Tang Xiaolian role-playing as Diao Chan and Yan Yu as Red Rabbit. At the most critical moment, I burst in with Thunder Method, crying out "Captain, you can’t do this! Ruoxi came first, and Ruoxi hasn’t ridden the big horse with you yet. Why are you doing this with this little..."
But Yan Yu was at a crucial moment and had no time to pay attention to me. He flew out with a sword and nailed poor Ruoxi to the door.
There I would be, stuck to the door, watching the two of them continue their horse riding...
No, please! Xie Ruoxi frantically scratched her head. I don’t want such things to happen!
I decisively turned around and ran to the door of a room labeled "Zhao," knocking on it.
I need backup!
After knocking for a while, there was no response inside—Zhao Yuanzhen was in the restroom playing with her phone at that time!
Zhao didn’t come out when I knocked, but Su Yunjin from across the hall did:
"Ruoxi, what’s the matter?"
Xie Ruoxi was about to speak when she worried she might be overheard by those in Yan Yu’s room, so she quickly conveyed her message through a psychic whisper:
"Yun Jin, here’s the thing..."
Upon hearing Xie Ruoxi’s whisper, Su Yunjin’s eyes immediately became stern.
Oh, a sneaky cat has come to steal a fish.
"What should I do?" Xie Ruoxi asked anxiously, "I want to go in and catch them in the act, but I’m afraid I’ll annoy the captain. What if he strikes me?"
"Of course, you can’t just barge in through the front door," Su Yunjin said immediately.
In fact, Xie Ruoxi’s idea of "catching them in the act" was unjustified because neither she nor Yan Yu had any real relationship with each other. At most, there was some ambiguity or indirect confessions. Yan Yu hadn’t even agreed, so he could sleep with whomever he wanted.
If he was indeed being intimate with Tang Xiaolian, Su Yunjin, with her current mindset, would definitely not accept the reality and give up. Her first thought would be to undermine their relationship, even if it meant the captain was taken... Thus, barging in and interrupting them would inevitably result in a substantial drop in Yan Yu’s affection for her, making it inconvenient for further actions.
I couldn’t let that happen!
But standing outside and politely waiting for Tang Xiaolian to finish would undeniably make me look way too much like a cuckold. So Su Yunjin immediately concocted a plan:
Find Ling Yun!
Ling Yun’s ghostly creatures, capable of invisibility, were the perfect solution for this situation!
Xie Ruoxi hastily ran to Chen Lingyun’s door and knocked.
After waiting a moment, there was no response, and it seemed Chen Lingyun was not in her room. Just as Su Yunjin took out her phone to call her, the door to Chen Lingyun’s opposite room opened.
"What are you guys doing?" Lin Ning asked curiously.
In a fluster, Xie Ruoxi blurted out the whole situation about Tang Xiaolian’s nighttime visit to Yan Yu’s room, making Lin Ning’s brows furrow and jaws clench tight, as though she wanted to rush in right away and drag little Yan Yu down.
Look at me! Will you even look at me? Aren’t you our team’s captain? Why are you focusing on a stray cat from another team?
"We’ll penetrate the wall and go in," Lin Ning said.
"Not possible," Su Yunjin shook her head in disagreement, "if you penetrate the wall and find that they are indeed doing ’that,’ what will you do?"
"Then I’ll stop them," Lin Ning stated firmly.
"On what grounds?" Su Yunjin questioned.
Lin Ning fell silent, suddenly realizing she indeed had no right to catch anyone in the act.
"Then we’ll penetrate the wall and go into his bathroom," said the quick-reacting Lin Ning, immediately coming up with another strategy, "then go invisible and peek through the gap under the bathroom door. That way, we won’t be discovered by them."
"Good idea!" Su Yunjin’s eyes lit up.
Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t dare to do this because Invisibility Technique only makes one optically invisible, leaving footstep sounds and the airflow from walking detectable, even Divine Sense could penetrate invisibility. And considering Yan Yu’s acute perception, they all lacked the confidence to fool him.
But if Yan Yu was indeed doing ’that,’ he definitely wouldn’t be observing everything around him, which would reduce the risk of being caught!
```
The three girls hastily entered Su Yunjin’s room. Problem Solver Lin Ning exercised her spatial imagination, feeling along the wall for a short while before quickly locating the bathroom.
Wall Penetration!
Together, they activated the Wall-Penetration Technique and entered Yan Yu’s bathroom.
"Stinky captain, we’re checking the dorms!"
Then they saw Tang Xiaolian sitting on the toilet, with her pants still around her ankles, not yet pulled up.
The four girls faced each other, shock rendering them nearly speechless in everyone’s eyes.
"How are you not done yet?" Yan Yu urged from outside, "It’s just a bathroom break, did you fall asleep in there?"
Hearing Yan Yu’s footsteps approaching, Lin Ning reacted swiftly, whispering:
"Invisibility!"
She was the first to activate the Invisibility Technique. Su Yunjin and Xie Ruoxi quickly followed suit, the three girls squeezing into the shower area. It was cramped and uncomfortable, but this eliminated the risk of being discovered by Yan Yu—who wouldn’t likely walk straight into the shower area upon entering.
Tang Xiaolian was even more panicked. What are you doing disappearing like that? Peeping?
Yan Yu arrived at the bathroom door and knocked:
"Are you done yet?"
Tang Xiaolian didn’t know what to say as she hastily pulled on her sleep pants, and in a stroke of impulsiveness, she too engaged invisibility and squeezed into the shower.
With three people, the shower was a snug fit—to add a fourth made it nearly unbearable. Xie Ruoxi, pressed against the wall, was uncomfortable and communicated telepathically:
"Why did you come in?"
"And what are YOU hiding here for?" Tang Xiaolian shot back telepathically.
By now, she’d somewhat caught on, realizing that these three girls must have known she entered Yan Yu’s room and specifically penetrated the wall to this bathroom with likely intentions of peeping—they wouldn’t have come together for a simple night raid.
You want to sneak a peek to confirm whether I’m having an affair with Yan Yu, but I won’t let you see! I’m going to stay invisible and hide!
Yan Yu knocked for a while and, getting no response, tried the doorknob and found it unlocked. Xiaolian really isn’t on guard with me at all!
That won’t do; I need to educate her.
He didn’t rush to push the door open but instead cracked it slightly, allowing his Divine Sense to penetrate and scan the interior.
Not on the toilet? Not by the sink, the shower... Holy moly! What a stack up!
Yan Yu preserved a calm front as he entered, pretending to be puzzled and talking to himself:
"Where did she go? Wasn’t she just using the bathroom? When did she slip away?"
Su Yunjin and the others heaved a silent sigh of relief upon hearing this.
So, she was just borrowing the bathroom... Good, nothing happened. We’ll wait for Yan Yu to leave the bathroom, then we’ll ’clarify’ (mess with) things with Tang Xiaolian before we all penetrate the wall and leave.
Let’s pretend nothing happened tonight!
Yan Yu guessed that they were waiting for him to leave. Although I don’t know what you’re up to, I just won’t go out. Let’s see what you do!
He casually moved to the sink and began brushing his teeth with such meticulousness as if to clean every interdental space. He brushed for a full three to four minutes before rinsing off the toothpaste. He then turned around to lift the toilet lid, pretending to be about to start flushing.
The four girls were petrified. No, we don’t want to see!
They all recoiled in unison. Lin Ning turned her head away, Xie Ruoxi covered her eyes (though her fingers were spread wide), Su Yunjin looked elsewhere, and Tang Xiaolian quickly bowed her head, her body seemingly trembling with tension.
However, Yan Yu had no intention of displaying his "great black dragon"; he was just scaring them. As he pretended to unzip, suddenly someone pushed the door from outside.
"Yan Yu?" Zhao Yuanzhen’s voice came in, "Are we still on for Dual Cultivation tonight?"
Dual Cultivation! Tang Xiaolian’s eyes widened in shock, what scandalous words!
Yan Yu was also taken aback. The team’s Joint Cultivation matters were secret; none of this could be heard by Tang Xiaolian!
He quickly pushed out the door, asking Zhao Yuanzhen:
"Why are you here?"
But secretly he sent a telepathic message to her:
"Let’s go outside to talk; it’s not convenient here."
Zhao Yuanzhen, however, was a blunt beauty and didn’t catch on at first, plainly asking:
"Why is it not convenient here?"
Yan Yu:......
Seeing Yan Yu at a loss for words, she suddenly had a surge of insight, her gaze quickly scanning towards the partially closed bathroom door next door, suspicion flickering in her eyes.
