After finishing the bowl of Changshou noodles, Su Xiyan finally realized that it was too carb-heavy!
She still had to wear that tight-fitting pink dress tonight!
But she couldn't possibly not eat the Changshou noodles that Chen Shuo made!
With both heartfelt intentions and delicious flavors, the buffet of emotions was overflowing!
After filling her stomach, Su Xiyan looked at Chen Shuo, who was eating breakfast and scrolling through his phone.
He seemed no different from his usual self?
So she started a conversation: "Chen Shuo, today is my birthday. You wouldn't just cook me a bowl of Changshou noodles, would you?"
Chen Shuo didn't even lift his head and replied, "Not enough? Should I cook another bowl?"
Su Xiyan: "..."
"What I mean is, did you prepare any other gifts or surprises for me?"
Chen Shuo raised his head, his eyes filled with foolish innocence. "Do you want them? If you do, I can go buy a gift for you."
Who asks a girl if she wants something?!?!
A typical clueless guy!!
Su Xiyan gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words from between them: "No need!"
Chen Shuo admired the look of Su Xiyan, who was practically ready to kill, and deliberately provoked her, "Well, you said you didn't want any gifts!"
Su Xiyan pinched her thigh, trying hard to restrain the urge to push Chen Shuo to the ground and rub him: "By the way, Chen Shuo, didn't you say you prepared a birthday gift for me last time?"
Chen Shuo pointed to the empty noodle bowl on the table, "It's the Changshou noodles! I personally made it for you. The high-quality soup and handmade noodles, it's something you can't buy outside."
"You've already finished the gift, and you're still asking me for a gift? Isn't that inappropriate?"
Su Xiyan's back teeth were about to shatter, but she still had to maintain a calm facade: "Well, it's indeed a thoughtful gift!"
"Thank you so much!!!"
Chen Shuo admired Su Xiyan's angry yet restrained expression.
This contrast was exactly what he wanted!
Otherwise, when she received the carefully prepared gift later, it wouldn't be as surprising!
Su Xiyan was good at adjusting her own mentality.
Since Chen Shuo didn't specially prepare any gifts, she couldn't lose her grace.
Besides, the Changshou noodles were delicious too!
"Let's have a casual dinner together tonight! I reserved a table at a small restaurant. Come over after your afternoon class and have something to eat."
Su Xiyan pretended to be indifferent, "I've sent you the address on your phone. I only have one class in the afternoon, so I won't wait for you. Just take a taxi and come by yourself."
Chen Shuo asked, "This place seems a bit remote! How did you think of reserving a table here?"
"I thought we had to go to a five-star hotel to match your taste!"
Su Xiyan looked meaningfully at Chen Shuo, "Some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface."
"For example, this restaurant. If you don't step inside and explore, how would you know the chef's background?"
"Just like you, Chen Shuo, everyone thinks you're just a freshman who just entered the university campus. Who would have known that you're actually an adorable little vampire?"
Chen Shuo thought to himself, "I am not just a little vampire, I am also the Demon King of Su City that you've been searching for!"
To his surprise, the next moment, Su Xiyan's words almost left Chen Shuo dumbfounded.
Su Xiyan's eyes were like deep, bottomless pools, gazing at Chen Shuo as she slowly asked, "I called you a little vampire, but why aren't you afraid of others knowing your identity? Shouldn't you be displaying a lot of panic?"
"Could it be that you have another even more powerful identity?"
Chen Shuo's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly reacted:
"With you protecting me, why should I be afraid of people discovering my vampire identity?"
"You are the strongest demon hunter in Su City! With you by my side, what do I have to fear?"
"You said you would protect me well! You can't go back on your word! Otherwise, as a weak little vampire like me, I would be captured as soon as I step out."
Su Xiyan's expression also relaxed. She was just teasing Chen Shuo after all.
Who made him not even prepare a birthday gift for her?
And the longevity noodles that had already been eaten didn't count!
"I thought you were the Demon King hidden in Su City!"
Su Xiyan's unintentional remark made Chen Shuo's heart tense once again.
This woman is so mysterious and her thoughts are quite meticulous!
Could she have already noticed something?
Chen Shuo didn't dare to ask too much and could only use the corner of his eye to quietly observe Su Xiyan's facial expressions.
But her delicate and pretty face remained the same as before, showing no change in emotions.
No action from her meant that she should temporarily not know Chen Shuo's true identity.
It's also possible that she only had suspicions but no evidence, so she could only test herself through everyday conversation.
Wait and see!
Little did Su Xiyan know that she was just trying to deliberately provoke Chen Shuo, but his mind had already considered so many possible factors.
After finishing breakfast, Su Xiyan instructed Chen Shuo:
"Remember, at five o'clock in the evening, don't be late."
Chen Shuo snapped back to reality and quickly nodded, "Alright! Since you've chosen it, the taste must be great. If it's delicious, I will definitely arrive early."
After tidying up, he was ready to leave for school.
Chen Shuo held a cardboard box in his hand, taped tightly, and no one knew what was inside.
Even when changing shoes, Chen Shuo didn't put down the cardboard box.
Su Xiyan reached out, "Let me help you with that! The way you're putting on your shoes, I feel tired for you."
Chen Shuo held the box as if it were a priceless treasure.
Before Su Xiyan's hand could touch the cardboard box, it was already lifted up high, accompanied by these words:
"These are guys' stuff. You girls can't just casually look at them."
"Privacy, do you understand?"
Su Xiyan scoffed, "I couldn't care less about looking!"
"Step back and don't block me while I change my shoes."
Chen Shuo replied, "The entrance is so wide, who's blocking you? Aren't our shoes kept separately?"
Chen Shuo hadn't prepared any additional birthday gift, which made Su Xiyan somewhat angry.
With a twist of her slender waist, displaying both elasticity and strength, she pushed Chen Shuo to the other side.
After Chen Shuo changed his shoes, he stood aside, holding the cardboard box, smiling as he watched Su Xiyan stand on one leg, bending over to put on her shoes. He thought to himself, "In the afternoon, I'll make you understand what 'real fragrance' means!"

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner.

The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well!
