The most feared thing when two people are together is the sudden silence.
It's really too awkward!
Too embarrassing!
Su Xiyan wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Her hands were somewhat at a loss: "Oh... So it was a gift from your mother?"
"I'm sorry, I thought it was..."
Chen Shuo: "You thought it was from another girl, right?"
"Su Xiyan, are you stupid? Do you think I would accept gifts from other girls besides you?"
Hearing Chen Shuo say this, Su Xiyan felt warm inside.
Her heart was also beating very fast! Her clear eyes were full of anticipation as she looked at Chen Shuo.
The atmosphere was heightened to this point, if Chen Shuo didn't confess, it wouldn't make sense!
But Su Xiyan's expectations were still dashed.
Chen Shuo didn't seem to be prepared to confess?
Could he be waiting for her to take the initiative?
Between the two, there was another moment of silence...
Or rather, an awkward atmosphere.
Su Xiyan was angry again, her willow eyebrows furrowed: "Chen Shuo, are you even a man?"
"If you're a man, then..."
Just confess to me! Can't you take some initiative??
Su Xiyan still wasn't able to ask the last two sentences.
She was so proud and aloof, the spotlighted Iceberg Goddess, the cold school beauty, how could she take the initiative to confess? This kind of thing should definitely be initiated by the guy! If she took the initiative to confess, wouldn't that make her the one chasing him?
There's no way I, Su Xiyan, would do something so damaging to my image!
Hearing Su Xiyan's words, Chen Shuo decided to tease her: "Want to find a place to verify if I'm a man or not?"
Su Xiyan: "..."
Instantly, even her earlobes turned red!
Wearing high heels, she fiercely stomped on Chen Shuo's instep.
Only by doing this could she conceal her inner turmoil and shyness.
Chen Shuo endured the pain in his instep: "Su Xiyan, were you a donkey in your previous life? Kicking your hooves at the slightest thing?"
Su Xiyan humphed and walked ahead of Chen Shuo.
The two were still stubbornly at odds, neither willing to speak first.
One in front and one behind, they walked back towards the school.
The misunderstanding was finally resolved, and the relationship between the two had undergone subtle changes.
Chen Shuo had his own plans, and Su Xiyan also had her own little abacus. It seemed to be the same as before, but it also seemed to have some different elements added.
As Su Xiyan was walking, she suddenly stopped and swiftly turned around, ramming straight into Chen Shuo's embrace from behind.
Chen Shuo grabbed his chest: "Su Xiyan, have you practiced iron head kung fu? Your little head is so hard!"
Su Xiyan, who was also seeing stars from her throbbing forehead, retorted: "You say that as if your chest isn't hard!"
Chen Shuo sized Su Xiyan up and down with ill intentions: "A real man is hard everywhere."
Su Xiyan: "..."
She really couldn't out-flirt Chen Shuo!
Su Xiyan could only quickly change the subject: "By the way, Chen Shuo, I didn't know before that the pink scarf was from your mother, and I criticized its taste. You can't be angry about it, right?"
Chen Shuo: "I'm not angry, but I did make a mental note when you said the pink was tacky and old-fashioned. Next time I call my mom, I'll relay your original words to her verbatim. And tell her it was the evaluation of a girl named Su Xiyan."
Su Xiyan's little hands rained down on Chen Shuo's shoulders like droplets: "Chen Shuo! Don't go overboard!"
"What if your mom gets angry and prejudices me?"
Chen Shuo's eyebrows quirked: "Oh? You're so anxious to meet your mother-in-law?"
Su Xiyan: "You're the ugly daughter-in-law! You're the ugly one!"
"...Wait, when did I become your daughter-in-law??"
"Chen Shuo! You stand right there!"
"Explain yourself clearly..."
After leaving the riverbank, Su Xiyan felt her footsteps become much lighter.
Although it was still cold when she returned home, the misunderstanding between her and Chen Shuo had been resolved!
Next was to think of a way to get Chen Shuo to move back in!
Living together and interacting daily, there would surely be opportunities to force Chen Shuo to confess!
Su Xiyan already had her own plans in mind.
Just then, Su Xiyan's phone rang.
Her first reaction was that it must be Chen Shuo.
Seeing it was her bestie Cheng Xinran calling, Su Xiyan still felt a momentary disappointment.
This Chen Shuo didn't even call her!
As soon as Cheng Xinran picked up she started venting: "Xiyan! So angry!"
"Who is Old Tang being wary of?"
Su Xiyan was full of questions: "Xinran, slow down and tell me exactly what happened?"
Through the phone, Su Xiyan could feel Cheng Xinran's anger: "This afternoon, the Su City Demon Hunters had a meeting that you know about, right?"
Su Xiyan: "What meeting? No one notified me? Was it a core meeting or an all-hands meeting?"
Cheng Xinran: "Of course it was an all-hands meeting! Everyone in Su City was there except you and me. And Old Tang presided over the meeting himself!"
"After all, I'm the demon hunter in charge of tracking vampires in Su City. And your combat level is the highest in the entire city! But Old Tang held a meeting without us!! Tell me, isn't he obviously hiding something? And deliberately keeping us out?"
Hearing Cheng Xinran say this, Su Xiyan immediately understood.
In short, Tang Zhiyuan held a demon hunter meeting this afternoon, and all the demon hunters in Su City attended except for Su Xiyan and Cheng Xinran.
Clearly, this was to guard against Su Xiyan, not wanting her to know about something.
Everyone knew Cheng Xinran and Su Xiyan were close. So Cheng Xinran was excluded as well.
What was Tang Zhiyuan trying to plot?
Cheng Xinran: "Xiyan, why don't you ask your dad when he'll officially take over Su City?"
"I really want to see Su Uncle properly deal with Old Tang!"
Sitting on the sofa, looking at the calligraphy work of her father hanging on the living room feature wall, Su Xiyan was silent for a long while, with unknowable thoughts swirling in her profound eyes.
"Xinran, when my dad takes over will probably have to wait for the official order to come down. It's official business, so I won't ask him."
Cheng Xinran was very worried: "Xiyan, I heard from a little fanboy who's chasing me that the main topic of today's meeting revolved around Chen Shuo."
Hearing Chen Shuo's name, Su Xiyan immediately tensed up: "Chen Shuo? Why? He's just a petty vampire! Even if Old Tang already knows Chen Shuo is a vampire, there's no need to go to such lengths, right?"
Cheng Xinran also found it very strange: "I know, right! Chen Shuo's not the Vampire King, what's the big deal?"
The listener understands more than the speaker intends. Su Xiyan, who was holding the phone, had fingers white from grasping tightly.
She bit her lip fiercely. If Chen Shuo really was the Vampire King, then everything could be connected!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
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?
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?!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
