On Monday, Chen Shuo already had a busy schedule, and after finishing classes for the day, he even helped make a bulletin board for the class.
Just as he returned to the dormitory, planning to take a shower, play some games and relax, he unexpectedly received a phone call from Su Xiyan.
Chen Shuo's three roommates in the dorm knew that after Chen Shuo started doing housekeeping for Nanli University's campus belle Su Xiyan, they were even more eager than Chen Shuo whenever his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID showed it was Su Xiyan, the three roommates were so excited they almost screamed!
"Chen Shuo, Chen Shuo! Quick, the school belle Su Xiyan is calling you."
Chen Shuo was holding his toiletries, just about to go take a shower. He didn't know what Su Xiyan was calling him for.
After answering the call, Su Xiyan's first sentence left Chen Shuo very speechless.
Su Xiyan's voice was as cold as ever, and still carried an irresistible commanding tone.
"Come clean, my floor is dirty."
Chen Shuo was a little incredulous.
"Now?? Are you kidding? Didn't I just finish cleaning for you yesterday? Don't tell me you've already dirtied up the house again?"
Su Xiyan's tone was icy and piercing.
"Come now, immediately, don't make me say it twice."
Chen Shuo looked outside, the sun had already set below the horizon.
"It's dark now, I'm a guy, it's not appropriate for me to go to your home at night when you live alone..."
Before Chen Shuo could finish speaking, his three other roommates in the dormitory shouted in unison.
"It's appropriate, appropriate, appropriate!"
"Chen Shuo, aren't you thinking too highly of yourself? Su Xiyan is your employer now, you definitely have to satisfy your employer's demands!"
"You have to be mentally prepared if you're doing housekeeping, right?"
"If you don't go, I'll have to go help the school belle Su Xiyan clean up!"
"Zhu Fatty don't compete with me, let me handle this kind of thing, I'm really diligent at cleaning!"
On the phone, Su Xiyan had already hung up.
This woman, why is she so unreasonable?
Judging by the tone of her voice, it seemed she was resentful?
Chen Shuo had no choice but to put down his toiletries, called a taxi, and went to Su Xiyan's Haiyi Apartment.
More than ten minutes later, he arrived at Su Xiyan's home.
"Where is it dirty?"
Su Xiyan pointed to the sheet mask on the floor next to the trash can.
"There~"
It only took Chen Shuo thirty seconds to clean up the mess caused by the wad of sheet mask paper.
"Done, cleaned spotless! I can go back now, right?"
Su Xiyan neither agreed nor disagreed, and pointed at the top of the door frame.
"It's dirty there, help me wipe it clean."
"I can't reach it, otherwise I wouldn't have called you over."
Chen Shuo looked at the height of the door frame, and glanced at Su Xiyan who was about 1.7 meters tall.
"If you want me to clean, just say so directly, no need to make excuses."
He took a rag and wiped the door frame, then rinsed the rag clean and hung it to dry on the balcony outside.
Just as Chen Shuo was about to leave after changing his shoes, Su Xiyan called him back again.
"Chen Shuo, go apply for day student status!"
"Huh? Why?"
Su Xiyan's eyebrows raised slightly: "To make it convenient for you to come over and clean anytime."
Chen Shuo didn't know what medicine Su Xiyan had taken today, she was being somewhat unreasonable.
Could it be that time of the month when female relatives come to visit?
He had heard that emotional women, especially during those special few days, you can't oppose them directly, you have to take a more roundabout approach.
So, Chen Shuo came up with an excuse.
"No, if I don't live in the dorms and apply for day student status, according to the school rules, I need a family member to sign agreeing to it. My parents both work out of town, and barely come back to Su City once a year.
You've been studying at Nanli University for three years, you should know this school regulation, right?"
What Chen Shuo said seemed to make a lot of sense, the school rules were indeed like this.
Su Xiyan's face showed a meaningful smile, and she slowly drawled her words.
"Oh?? Family member's signature, is that so? I see, I understand now."
I'm doomed! Su Xiyan really shouldn't smile in the future, her smile is even more frightening than her expressionless face.
Chen Shuo pointed toward the elevator.
"Can I go back to school now?"
Su Xiyan nodded, indicating that Chen Shuo could leave.
Chen Shuo left as if granted amnesty, departing quickly.
With the sound of the elevator going down, the door also closed, and the huge house was left with only Su Xiyan alone once again.
After Chen Shuo left, Su Xiyan leaned against the sofa playing on her phone.
Her close friend Cheng Xinran called.
"Xiyan, Su City has been a bit lively recently!"
Today Su Xiyan was in a bad mood, and frowned, "Hmm? Xinran, don't speak in riddles, just tell me directly."
Cheng Xinran: "I've detected that a high-level vampire has appeared in Su City recently! However, its cultivation level is too high, I wasn't able to detect the exact location."
Su Xiyan: "I know, someone used a bewitching technique, that's a skill only high-level vampires possess."
Bewitching technique?
Su Xiyan recalled that it should have been that incident in the equipment room at Nanli University a few days ago, right?
At the time, Chen Shuo still foolishly thought he could break the bewitching technique, but he was only a low-level vampire.
Su Xiyan didn't associate this incident with Chen Shuo at all, because in her eyes, Chen Shuo was just a weakling.
If Chen Shuo had the ability to resist, he wouldn't let himself order him around like this.
Cheng Xinran on the phone urged her best friend.
"Xiyan, you live alone, be careful!"
"Although you're already the most powerful Golden Demon Hunter in Su City, if you really encounter that vampire even stronger than a high-level one... I worry about you."
Su Xiyan thanked her good friend for the intel. After chatting for a few more sentences, they hung up.
With the lights in the room all turned off, Su Xiyan lay in bed, her dark eyes shone like gems.
She looked at the seemingly all-consuming night outside,
with a light flashing in her eyes that outsiders could not comprehend.
------
Chen Shuo thought Su Xiyan would start being unreasonable, and had even mentally prepared himself to be summoned by Su Xiyan day and night.
But strangely, this week, he actually spent several peaceful days.
Not only did Su Xiyan not find excuses to make things difficult for him, she didn't even contact him at all.
Could it be that her special few days were already over?
But why did it give Chen Shuo a feeling of "calm before the storm" unease?
This was too abnormal!
Indeed, Chen Shuo's feeling was right!
On Friday, Chen Shuo received a call from the counselor.
"Chen Shuo, bring your ID card and student card and come to the dorm management office."
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
