Su Xiyan reacted and averted her eyes from Chen Shuo's body, pretending not to know: “What did I just say?”
“How come I don't remember?”
“Why don't you reiterate what I just said?”
Chen Shuo pinched Su Xiyan's nose: “Anyway I heard it.”
“If you don't admit it, I'll just take it as if you didn't say it! Anyway, I was hurt by your Demon Hunting Crossbow, and I didn't plan on holding you responsible.”
After speaking, Chen Shuo deliberately showed a pained expression, using his hand to support his waist, as if he was about to be unable to stand up straight.
Su Xiyan didn't care about anything else, and supported Chen Shuo.
Her tone also softened: “Fine! Words that are spoken cannot be taken back.”
“So, Chen Shuo, remember this! Don't think that just because I like you, you can take advantage of me.”
The words that had been pent up inside for a long time were finally spoken.
Now that she had gotten it off her chest, Su Xiyan suddenly felt relieved.
The tacit understanding between the two had long become a little secret they guarded together. It was just separated by a transparent glass window, only needing someone to take the first step and confess.
Su Xiyan became the one to take the initiative to confess, but this didn't seem to affect the interaction between the two.
The chemistry between them was not built in a day.
Chen Shuo completed his promotion from Demon King to Demon Saint right under Su Xiyan's nose, yet she didn't notice anything at all, and was even worried about whether the scar on Chen Shuo's waist caused by the Demon Hunting Crossbow was okay.
"Chen Shuo, move back in!"
Chen Shuo: "Huh? We just confessed, and you already want to live together?"
Su Xiyan pinched Chen Shuo's arm forcefully: "It's not like we haven't lived together before, what are you afraid of me eating you up or something?"
Chen Shuo: "Of course I'm afraid! What if you have some indecent thoughts about me in the middle of the night? What would I do?"
Su Xiyan: "What are you talking about at a time like this?"
"I'm telling you seriously, move back to Haiyi Apartment to live with me!"
"That way, I can take good care of you."
As she spoke, Su Xiyan's gaze fell upon the scar on Chen Shuo's waist.
Chen Shuo's scar had long healed without medicine. The current him, having just upgraded to a Demon Saint, such a small skin wound meant nothing to him. His powerful healing abilities had restored his waist to its original unblemished state.
Su Xiyan definitely could not know about this. His Demon King facade had just been peeled off, there was no way Su Xiyan could imagine that Chen Shuo had become a Demon Saint under her nose, with power dozens of times greater than a Demon King.
Now even if Su Xiyan's father stood before Chen Shuo, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from Chen Shuo.
Having become the highest level Demon Saint, Chen Shuo was not happy at all - I just want to live a normal life, yet you make me a Demon Saint? How absurd!
For now, Chen Shuo did not want anyone to know of the Demon Saint realm he had attained.
Su Xiyan frowned: "What are you hiding from? Let me see how your wound is, do we need to go back and treat it?"
Chen Shuo dodged Su Xiyan's examination: "That wouldn't be proper. Think about it, you just confessed to me, and I'm still considering whether to accept it or not. If you get handsy with me now, what would that look like?"
"You're just trying to check my injury, but to an outsider, it would seem like you're trying to take advantage of me!"
Su Xiyan: "..."
Good one, Chen Shuo! I took the initiative to confess, and yet you still have to consider whether to accept it or not??
Su Xiyan stepped forward two steps, deliberately cracking her knuckles: "Chen Shuo? From what you're saying, you're still thinking of rejecting my confession, huh?"
Facing Su Xiyan's threat, Chen Shuo instinctively retreated two steps.
He immediately remembered that he had already revealed his strength to Su Xiyan! Su Xiyan already knew that he was the powerful Demon King!
Immediately, Chen Shuo stood his ground, chest puffed up: "Su Xiyan, the one standing before you now is no longer that weak and pathetic little vampire, but the extremely mighty Demon King!"
"Humph humph, you'd better know your place."
Chen Shuo thought to himself, I wonder what expression Su Xiyan would have if she knew I was already a Demon Saint?
"Chen Shuo, even if you're number one in the universe, in front of me, you can only be bullied by me, you hear?"
Chen Shuo: "..."
"Su Xiyan, listen to what you're saying? How could I, a Demon King, still be bullied by you?"
Su Xiyan also stood tall and proud: "Of course!"
"Chen Shuo, I'm going to bully you for a lifetime! It's your own fault for concealing the fact that you were the Demon King."
Looking at the extremely aggressive Su Xiyan, Chen Shuo surrendered under her mighty force, and stopped bickering with Su Xiyan for now.
With a wave of his hand, the barrier disappeared, and everything was as if nothing had happened.
The only difference was that when Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo walked out of the warehouse, they were holding hands.
Su Xiyan clung onto Chen Shuo's arm like an oversized koala.
Their long fingers were intertwined.
The young man at the 4S shop saw Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo walk out of the scrapped warehouse, and chatted with the slightly older master next to him:
"Hey Old Li, when did two more people appear in that scrapped warehouse?”
"I don't know! Weren't you working here the whole time? How did they get in without you seeing? I told you not to play on your phone so much when working. Two adults entered the warehouse right under your nose, and you didn't even notice?"
"I really wasn't on my phone!"
Watching Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo's back as they left lovingly, the young man wondered what day it was today? Having to take the fall after getting a mouthful of dog food?
As the sun set in the west, Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo drove away from the 4S shop in the repaired AMG.
Today's sunset sky was particularly gorgeous, like a blaze burning on the horizon.
As Chen Shuo drove, he held the steering wheel with one hand, while his other hand never left Su Xiyan's.
Su Xiyan's long fingers drew circles, fast then slow, ticklishly on Chen Shuo's palm.
Chen Shuo: "Stop messing around, I'm driving!"
Su Xiyan: "You drive your car, I play with mine, no conflict."
Chen Shuo wanted to pull his hand back, but Su Xiyan held on tight. And it had to be said, the feeling of being "tormented" in her palm actually felt rather wonderful.
"Su Xiyan, I have a question for you."
"Hmm? Go ahead."
"What do you think about me being the Demon King?"
Su Xiyan answered: "You hid your abilities very well, don't hide it anymore next time."
"Don't deceive me anymore from now on."
"Now that we're together, we should be frank with each other."
Hearing Su Xiyan say this, Chen Shuo's expression became strange.
Taking advantage of the red light, Chen Shuo looked back at Su Xiyan, his gaze somewhat indecent: "The frankness you mentioned, is it the meaning I'm thinking of?"
