Chen Shuo was pressed down in the chair, but he was still tightly holding the paper bag containing his lunch box.
He hadn't eaten for a whole day! He was starving!
When he looked closely, the three pairs of hands holding him down belonged to his three roommates from the dormitory:
Shen Xu, who always had dark circles under his eyes all year round as if his body was hollowed out, nicknamed Kidney Deficiency Gentleman;
Every dormitory had a roommate nicknamed "Fatty", and the Fatty in Chen Shuo's dorm, who also had a head of natural curly hair, was called Zhu Fei, nicknamed Zhu Fatty.
There was also Lu Chen, who wore glasses and looked gentle, seeming to be a hypocritical villain.
The horizontal flesh on Zhu Fatty's face trembled due to extreme excitement.
"Brother Three, I heard you are together with the school belle of Su University?"
Chen Shuo was full of questions in his mind: "What the heck? How could I possibly be with her? Who is spreading rumors?"
Zhu Fatty and Kidney Deficiency Gentleman looked at Lu Chen in unison,
Lu Chen quickly replied, "The school belle of Su University asked you to go to her house on the weekend."
The wicked Lu Chen even imitated Su Xiyan's tone of speaking: "Don't let me wait too long~~~"
Chen Shuo: "Does...does Su Xiyan really speak like that? No way, she's not so sissy!"
Now, Zhu Fatty and Kidney Deficiency Gentleman were even more certain that Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan had an extraordinary relationship:
"You see, you're even speaking up for the school belle of Su University, just honestly confess!"
"When did you get together with the school belle of Su University?"
"Good for you, Chen Shuo, usually keeping a low profile, but actually managed to pursue the school belle of Su University?"
"Do you know, she was my motivation to choose to apply for Nanli University in the first place! Because I saw the school belle of Su University in the enrollment advertisement of Nanli University, from that moment on, I decided, I must study hard and get admitted to Nanli University, to become the junior schoolmate of the school belle of Su University!"
"My dream, my moonlight, my hope in life...destroyed!"
"Chen Shuo, you'd better honestly explain your relationship with the school belle of Su University."
Looking at the roommates with faces full of heartbreak, collapse, disillusionment, and complex expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred, Chen Shuo was stunned.
After a few seconds, Chen Shuo spread his hands helplessly: "It's just Su Xiyan, don't you think you guys are overreacting?"
The three roommates nodded solemnly in unison: "We're not overreacting!!"
So it turned out Su Xiyan was the goddess in many people's hearts? Chen Shuo only knew Su Xiyan was the school belle before, he didn't realize she had such a big influence among the male students.
If they knew Su Xiyan had monstrous combat power, tearing vampires apart with her bare hands without blinking an eye, would they be scared shitless?
Too bad, they can't see the ferocious and brutal side of Su Xiyan.
After a round of interrogation, Chen Shuo finally could eat in peace.
--------
It was the weekend, the day to go clean up at Su Xiyan’s house.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Shuo still hadn't arrived.
Su Xiyan was getting impatient waiting, she sent Chen Shuo a message on WeChat.
【Where are you?】
Chen Shuo sent back a video of him shopping at the household section in the supermarket.
【Your brooms are all worn out and split, have to buy new ones. Also, the grease remover spray in your kitchen is expired too. And...never mind, check the photos!】
Su Xiyan looked at the photos Chen Shuo sent over, which contained steel wool balls, sponges, rags, various detergents, etc.
The icy cold face softened a little, and the posture sitting on the sofa relaxed quite a bit too.
Looks like sparing Chen Shuo’s life was the right decision.
More than twenty minutes later, Chen Shuo arrived at Su Xiyan's door carrying supermarket shopping bags on his shoulders, and a long mop over his other shoulder.
After Su Xiyan opened the door for Chen Shuo, she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Don't be late again next time."
Chen Shuo put down the shopping bags and took out a supermarket receipt, handing it to Su Xiyan.
"This is the money for the stuff I bought, totals 207.85 yuan. Reimburse me for it. Also, there's the taxi fare for going to the supermarket, 40 yuan round trip. Let's settle it together!"
Su Xiyan took out three 100-yuan bills from her wallet and threw them on the coffee table.
"Here, take it."
Chen Shuo put away the money.
"You gave a few dozen extra, but I don't have cash on me, no change to give you. I'll send it to you via WeChat, I don't want to take advantage of you."
Su Xiyan's eyebrows raised slightly.
"No need for change, consider it your money for selling your body."
She had just finished speaking when Su Xiyan realized she misspoke. She meant the extra few dozen yuan was labor compensation for Chen Shuo.
She spoke too quickly, saying it was money for selling his body. But she was too lazy to explain.
Chen Shuo seized the opportunity to quip.
"I've said it before, I sell my skills not my body."
"Of course, money can make ghosts grind, I'm a greedy vampire, as long as the price is right, I'll do anything."
Su Xiyan leaned forward slightly, every movement oozed with threat: "Then what if I want to buy your life? How much? Name your price?"
Chen Shuo only felt a chill down his spine, and quickly took out his phone to send Su Xiyan the extra few dozen yuan via WeChat.
With all the supplies bought, the cleaning progressed much faster this time.
In about half an hour, Su Xiyan's home was refreshed.
Chen Shuo's parents had always worked outside, he had been a very independent person since childhood. Cleaning was no problem at all for him.
After the busy work, Chen Shuo took off the household gloves: "How is it? I'm done with the task, I can leave now, right?"
Su Xiyan was sitting on the sofa playing with her tablet. Her long, straight, fair legs stretched out casually, bare feet wearing slippers, exuded a lazy, casual beauty.
Looking at Su Xiyan in simple home clothes, Chen Shuo thought, with her figure and looks, she would still be very beautiful even wrapped in sackcloth.
Too bad she's so violent!!
Su Xiyan put down her tablet, walked around the house in her slippers inspecting things.
She wanted to pick faults on purpose to make things difficult for Chen Shuo.
But the house was just too clean and tidy, couldn't even find a single strand of hair.
The clock on the wall showed it was noon.
A thought came to Su Xiyan's mind: "I'm hungry, don't want to order takeout, you go cook me a meal."
Chen Shuo: "???"
"Su Xiyan you're going back on your word!"
"Didn't you say just cleaning is good enough? Now you want me to cook too??"
Su Xiyan gave a slight smug laugh.
"Chen Shuo, you need to understand, to me, you still have utilization value, you should feel happy about it."
"When you no longer have utilization value, you should know the consequences, right??"
Chen Shuo huffed in anger: "You're threatening me again!!"
Su Xiyan: "So what if I am??"
Chen Shuo's anger only lasted one second,
the next second, he seamlessly switched into puppy dog mode: "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy ingredients."
A fanciful thought came to Su Xiyan, she stretched lazily and said, "Staying home so long, I'm feeling a bit stifled, want to go out for some fresh air."
Chen Shuo boldly guessed: "You mean...you want to go with me to buy groceries??"
Su Xiyan gave a cold snort: "Humph! You have a problem with that??
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?!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
