Zhao Secretary, who just doubted Chen Shuo and threatened him in the office a moment ago, now stood at the entrance of the office building.
Behind him, there was a line of people waiting to leave through the access control gate. They urged Zhao Secretary several times before he snapped out of it and quickly walked outside the door.
Chen Shuo appeared harmless, leaning against the car with clear and bright eyes.
When he saw Su Xiyan coming out, Chen Shuo's eyes instantly lit up, and he waved at her.
It was hard to connect him with the terrifying Demon King that made people tremble in fear. Even a few experienced veteran demon hunters looked at Zhao Secretary with suspicion.
The more this happened, the more anxious Zhao Secretary became.
However, he couldn't find a reason to test Chen Shuo.
Demon hunters had a strict rule that they could never use their skills in front of humans.
It was an unspoken agreement among humans, demon hunters, and vampires.
If this balance were disrupted, the world would plunge into unprecedented chaos!
Zhao Secretary was well aware of this rule and dared not violate it.
Neither Cheng Xinran nor Su Xiyan expected Chen Shuo to come to the headquarters of the demon hunters, right under the noses of so many hunters.
Wasn't this too bold?
Fortunately, Su Xiyan had strong mental fortitude.
Her cold face instantly softened when she saw Chen Shuo.
"Chen Shuo, did you come to pick me up?"
All the demon hunters present were dumbfounded.
The usually aloof and decisive goddess, Su Xiyan, the highest-ranked demon hunter in Su City, could actually have a blushing moment?
She looked so beautiful when she smiled!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that Su Xiyan could smile!
Su Xiyan held Chen Shuo's arm and introduced him to everyone generously, "This is my boyfriend, Chen Shuo."
Su Xiyan intentionally emphasized the name "Chen Shuo."
Everyone present was on edge. They didn't expect the prime suspect of being the Demon King to dare to come to the company headquarters.
Was this a blatant provocation? Or did he simply not consider the demon hunters a threat?
Almost everyone present immediately tried to use their demon hunter sensing skills to detect any vampire aura on Chen Shuo.
But it was in vain.
Chen Shuo was just an ordinary student with no vampire aura whatsoever.
But what's the deal with the files and information on Tang Zhiyuan's desk? How could Tang Zhiyuan, an experienced and psychologically astute demon hunter, be investigating an ordinary college student?
Every move and trace of Chen Shuo perfectly coincided with the Ghost King of Su City.
Calling it a coincidence is just not convincing enough.
It's so contradictory!
Even though the suspect is right in front of him, there's no evidence to be found.
Chen Shuo has a beautiful smile, like a ray of sunshine breaking through the gloom of late autumn, bringing a sense of serenity.
In theory, a simple greeting would have sufficed.
But Su Xiyan's mischievous side emerged, wanting to punish Zhao Secretary.
She held Chen Shuo's arm, ostensibly talking to him, but her eyes were fixed on Zhao Secretary:
"Just now, our company's Secretary Zhao said he wanted to know whether my boyfriend, Su Xiyan, is human or a demon."
Zhao Secretary: >_<!!
Other demon hunters present: (ｷ｀ﾟДﾟ´)!!
Su Xiyan sure dares to speak up!
Although she felt anxious, she was also eagerly anticipating Chen Shuo's response.
Chen Shuo immediately understood Su Xiyan's intention. He smiled and replied, "Of course, I'm a demon!"
Everyone: ?????
Zhao Secretary clenched his fists even tighter!
Could it be that vampires have no aura? Of course, it's possible that Su Xiyan sealed Chen Shuo's vampire aura. It's a skill that every demon hunter possesses, so it's not surprising.
But for Chen Shuo to admit it himself, that's just outrageous!!
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became quite awkward.
Chen Shuo looked at Su Xiyan, his eyes filled with tenderness:
"It depends on who I'm in front of."
"For example, in front of you, I can be a mischievous ghost."
Zhao Secretary, being a little mouthy, asked, "And in front of me?"
Chen Shuo's eyes turned cold and his smile took on a sinister edge: "In front of you, of course, I'm a fierce ghost."
Cheng Xinran couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Zhao Secretary couldn't do anything about Chen Shuo, so he directed his anger at Cheng Xinran, glaring at her fiercely, which scared Cheng Xinran into covering her mouth.
What's the deal with Chen Shuo? None of the demon hunters present could sense his vampire aura, but this sudden display of a powerful presence was not something an ordinary college student could exhibit.
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Chen Shuo's mouth as he said to Zhao Secretary, "If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me directly. Having my girlfriend relay messages all the time, won't that tire her out?"
Zhao Secretary didn't say anything; he couldn't think of any other way to respond, so he just watched as Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan left.
He understood that this Chen Shuo was most likely the Demon King!
The Demon King's power is so strong that he can freely conceal his aura. Isn't that normal?
So, this was clearly meant to intimidate!
Su Xiyan, the most promising and highest-ranked demon hunter in Su City, was actually with someone who was suspected to be the Demon King?
Tang Zhiyuan has also gone missing, his life or death unknown! It can be assumed that the situation is mostly unfavorable!
It seems that the future of the Demon Hunter in Su City is bleak!
Recalling the powerful aura that Chen Shuo suddenly emanated, along with his ambiguous smile, sent shivers down Zhao Secretary's spine.
In an instant, Zhao Secretary's legs went weak, and if it weren't for the quick reactions of the surrounding Demon Hunters who supported him, he would have stumbled.
Zhao Secretary was seething with anger! How dare someone provoke him at his own doorstep! Yet, the Demon Hunter in Su City seemed utterly powerless!
Cheng Xinran walked up to Zhao Secretary and said, "Zhao Secretary, you look like the judge from the Nine Turns Pork Intestine meme right now!"
Zhao Secretary asked, "Nine Turns Pork Intestine?"
"You're always thinking about food all the time. Shouldn't you be searching for vampires instead?"
As it turned out, Zhao Secretary didn't understand this reference.
Cheng Xinran felt disappointed, thinking that Zhao Secretary wasn't fun at all, unlike Tang Zhiyuan!
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
