In response to Chen Shuo's sudden question, Su Xiyan seemed to be prepared.
Her clear eyes gazed at Chen Shuo, wanting to speak yet hesitated. In the end, she did not answer directly.
"Meeting the parents is the main thing, everything else is trivial."
"Let's not talk about it. Let's go back to the restaurant, I guess your mom and Auntie Zhang have already ordered dishes and are waiting for us to eat."
After saying that, Su Xiyan quickened her pace.
Chen Shuo followed behind carrying two large bottles of drinks, looking at Su Xiyan's tall and slender back. She probably didn't want to answer his question.
Since she didn't want to answer, there was no need to keep asking.
If they had to ask before answering anything between them, then there would be no need to continue either. After the private kitchen incident, Chen Shuo clearly knew the kind of interaction that should exist between the two of them.
She was not an ignorant little girl. She handled herself very well.
So when she wanted to talk about it, she naturally would.
Taking a step back, Chen Shuo had also kept a little secret from Su Xiyan!
For example, Su Xiyan still thought Chen Shuo was just the Demon King. In fact, Chen Shuo had secretly leveled up to become the Demon Saint!
The power of the Demon Saint had not had a chance to use yet. Chen Shuo thought, the power of the Demon King was already terrifying enough to make one shiver. What would the power of the Demon Saint be like? He really wanted a chance to try out the power of the Demon Saint!
While Chen Shuo was lost in thought, the two had already returned to the restaurant.
Sure enough, a table full of dishes had been served.
Chen Shuo’s mother Xu Mei called them over to eat: “Come and sit down to eat! You went to buy drinks, how could it take so long?”
“If you didn't come back soon, Auntie Zhang and I were going to go look for you. We thought you got lost!”
Su Xiyan put on an obedient smile, “The nearby convenience store didn't have coconut juice, so we walked a bit further.”
Auntie Zhang said, “Anything is fine!”
Su Xiyan replied, “How could we casually buy drinks when dining with elders? Coconut juice is good for the skin and more nutritious than ordinary drinks. It’s good for the health and won’t burden the digestive system.”
“I used to drink this brand of coconut juice all the time since I was little.”
Since she was little? Drank it as she grew up??
Chen Shuo understood punctuation. His gaze involuntarily turned to Su Xiyan’s peaks. He thought, if this brand didn’t ask her to advertise for them, it would really be a waste of the advertising slogan “Drank from young till mature”.
Su Xiyan seemed to sense Chen Shuo was thinking some indecent thoughts and glared fiercely at him.
It had been a while since he last sensed this murderous aura! Chen Shuo quickly withdrew his gaze.
The dining atmosphere was very pleasant.
Xu Mei would occasionally chat with Su Xiyan about some of Chen Shuo's funny stories from when he was little. Su Xiyan listened with great interest, her eyes wide and letting out clear laughter from time to time.
Chen Shuo thought, his mom was really shameless!!
All the embarrassing stories from when he was little had become laughable material that his mom fully told Su Xiyan!
How could he still hold his head high in front of Su Xiyan after this??
The atmosphere in the small restaurant was very cheerful. Everything seemed to have a beautiful beginning!
Not far from the small restaurant, in a high-end hotel, Tang Zhiyuan sat alone in the elegant booth, still holding some documents, reading while frowning.
According to the information he currently had, there was an 80 to 90 percent chance that Chen Shuo was the Demon King of Su City!
However, this Demon King seemed to not attend to his proper duties??
He never interacted with other vampires and did not participate in vampires preying on humans.
Wasn’t he a vampire? How could he survive without feeding on human blood?
The demon hunters in Su City were all quite capable, so most of the vampires in Su City were emaciated due to lack of fresh warm blood to feed on. The survival method for the vast majority of vampires was to rely on purchasing blood bags from the black market.
Chen Shuo looked ruddy and was in great spirits. He did not show any signs of malnutrition from being unable to feed on blood.
It was really strange!
After searching all the information in Su City, there was no sign of Chen Shuo interacting or gathering with other vampires.
The Demon King was this aloof? He didn't even play with his little brothers?
This point left Tang Zhiyuan very puzzled.
After thinking for a while, the cigarette in his hand had almost burned to his fingers. The exquisite dishes on the table had not been touched with chopsticks.
Tang Zhiyuan picked up his phone and dialed a number.
In Su City, Tang Zhiyuan was the boss of all the demon hunters. Usually he was used to being the top leader.
But when facing the person on the phone, Tang Zhiyuan completely lost his usual arrogance and was like an obedient primary school student listening to the teacher's teachings.
Tang Zhiyuan briefly reported the current situation he grasped to the person on the phone, then quietly waited for instructions from the other end.
“Brother Su, what do you think is the most appropriate way to handle this matter?”
The person on the phone referred to by Tang Zhiyuan as Brother Su replied: “No need to rush, wait and see.”
“As the Demon King, he has not harmed humans, and has not even interacted with other vampires. This is unusual and can’t be dealt with using conventional methods. Otherwise, you...”
The voice of Brother Su on the phone lowered a lot.
He didn't know what was said to Tang Zhiyuan, but Tang Zhiyuan kept nodding through the phone, looking very much like a little follower listening to his boss.
But the moment he hung up the phone, Tang Zhiyuan's expression immediately turned cold.
He threw the phone on the table and muttered to himself: “He really sees himself as Su City’s decision maker?”
“From the day I met him, he had the attitude of an elder brother! Calling you Brother Su, how arrogant!”
Tang Zhiyuan had already decided to do things his own way this time!
He could no longer listen to the person on the phone!
Tang Zhiyuan tapped the folders on the table with his fingers, and finally, his finger bones poked fiercely at Chen Shuo’s profile.
Whether you are the college freshman Chen Shuo, the Demon King, Su Xiyan’s boyfriend, in my eyes, as long as you are a vampire, you should be executed!!
Especially you, Chen Shuo!!
A flash of hatred yet anguish shone in Tang Zhiyuan's eyes!
After Chen Shuo accompanied his mother Xu Mei and Auntie Zhang to have lunch with Su Xiyan, the four of them drove back home together.
The home located in the old residential area was only a few dozen square meters. Here held the memories of Chen Shuo growing up, as well as countless happy times of his growth.
After returning home, Su Xiyan pretended to be very curious, pointing at the photo album on the coffee table and asked: “Auntie, what is this?”
Xu Mei: “Oh that? That's Chen Shuo’s growth album from when he was little.”
Su Xiyan looked extremely obedient: “Then... Auntie, can I take a look?”
Xu Mei: “Of course you can! Come, let's look at it together!”
Chen Shuo: “......”
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
