Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

In my previous life, I was half a move short and ultimately failed to reach the summit. Having traveled back to the past, this time... I want to become the strongest in this world! To become the strongest in this world, one only needs three simple steps: 1. Pick up a newly-transferred Demonic Sect Enchantress off the streets. 2. Subdue and vanquish the demon. 3. Take her cultivation technique for myself. Awesome! I'm already invincible! ———————— Years later, Yan Yu, who had earned the title of "the strongest," was interviewed on television: Host: To whom do you want to give thanks for your success today? Yan Yu: I'd like to thank a very important woman to me. Host (eyes lighting up): Oh, is she your wise and virtuous wife? Yan Yu: No, consider her a stepping stone, I suppose. Host (wiping sweat): Then... what about the other members of your team? They must have helped you as well, right? Yan Yu: ... How could there possibly be only one stepping stone on the path to godhood?

Chapter 23: Taking Texts Out of Context is the Ultimate Righteousness

But Yan Yu, this formidable man, was speaking too much with force, and the host Lu Zhiyu couldn't keep up, so he decisively played a card to redirect the topic, picking a less tricky question to ask Chen Lingyun:

"Deputy Captain Chen, as the right hand of Captain Yan Yu, can you talk about the relationship between the two of you?"

"Relationship?" Chen Lingyun pretended not to understand and chuckled with her hand covering her mouth, "Isn't it just the usual deputy and chief relationship?"

"On the job, we're comrades in arms, of course," Lu Zhiyu said, smiling amiably as he continued, "What about your personal rapport?"

Although her expression was very composed and proper as if she was just talking about something very ordinary, there was indeed an implied gossipy tone. A slight misstep in answering, and the host would seize the opportunity to dig further—the audiences always love this kind of topic; it's a classic hot-button issue.
