At noon, the main road in the old town of Su City was narrow again, causing a traffic jam for quite a while. They finally arrived at the restaurant chosen by Su Yuanying.
On the second floor in a private room, Su Yuanying sat alone at the table, brewing tea for himself.
On the table was a set of Kung Fu tea utensils, with the aroma of tea permeating the air.
"From Nanli University to here, there are six traffic lights in total. Even if you waited for the full duration at each light, it should only take twelve minutes to get here," Su Yuanying said while pouring tea. "But you were eight minutes late."
Chen Shuo: "..."
Ultimate obsessive-compulsive disorder??
Chen Shuo was about to explain the delay due to traffic congestion when Su Yuanying suddenly asked, "Was there a traffic jam?"
Chen Shuo nodded: "Mm-hmm!"
Su Yuanying picked up his teacup, took a slow sip, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the little white car you're driving now is still too small. After lunch, let's go choose a car!"
"Cars like AMG are just for Xiyan to practice with. Small sedans are fine for girls to drive for fun."
"Real men should drive Range Rovers. If you don't like those, other SUVs are fine too."
Su Xiyan: "..."
Chen Shuo: "..."
Is this how all rich people think so simply?
Fortunately, Chen Shuo didn't have many requirements for these cars. Su Xiyan's AMG wasn't an entry-level model; that configuration would cost at least over a million yuan. Elegant and low-key, it didn't have that ostentatious nouveau riche feeling at all, which quite suited Chen Shuo's taste.
"One car is enough for the two of us, we don't need to buy another one. Besides, I can afford to buy one myself," Chen Shuo's answer was very sensible. He had a system, and the system no longer malfunctioned in Su Xiyan's presence.
If he wanted the system to give him some money-making mini-tasks, the system certainly wouldn't disappoint Chen Shuo.
Why ask others for something he could easily obtain himself?
To Su Yuanying, Chen Shuo's response seemed like a perfectly sincere performance!
"Alright! If you need anything in the future, just let me know!"
"We're family, no need to be formal."
Already considered family? Chen Shuo recalled his performance in Yu Hua City, where he saved people from three families, and all three major families were scrambling to win him over.
With this connection to Su Xiyan, Su Yuanying had already assumed that Chen Shuo was part of their Su family.
Su Xiyan had previously worried that her big-shot father wouldn't like Chen Shuo, but she never expected that they would become even closer than she was with her own father!
Although she pretended to be jealous on the surface, Su Xiyan was actually feeling sweet inside!
Chen Shuo was the opposite; he appeared to have a good relationship with Su Yuanying, but he still had reservations!
Moreover, Chen Shuo could sense Su Yuanying's depth! Su Yuanying was a super big shot with extremely high emotional intelligence, in other words, he was incredibly smooth! It was one thing for him to trust Chen Shuo, but if anyone said he had no reservations, probably no one would believe it.
And so, a seemingly approachable super big shot and a seemingly ordinary freshman with terrifyingly powerful abilities exchanged glances, with what seemed like deeply hidden flashes of swordplay flickering between them.
At this moment, the waiter began to serve the dishes.
Chen Shuo, Su Xiyan, and Su Yuanying were now seated at the dining table.
Su Xiyan checked the time on her phone: "Dad, you asked us to come for lunch, do you have something to tell us?"
"We both have classes at two o'clock this afternoon!"
Su Yuanying didn't answer his daughter's question, but instead turned to Chen Shuo and asked casually: "I heard that the new Ghost King in Su City went to your school to find you?"
Chen Shuo was surprised: "Ah? Uncle Su, you even know about this?"
Chen Shuo's surprise wasn't feigned. He had only learned about the Ghost King looking for him when Lu Chen told him during class.
He didn't expect Su Yuanying to already know about it.
Su Xiyan thought her father was suspicious of Chen Shuo and became nervous, speaking up for him:
"Dad, Chen Shuo, he..."
Su Yuanying interrupted his daughter: "I didn't say anything bad about Chen Shuo, look at how nervous you've become!"
"It seems I've wasted these twenty years raising a daughter!"
After saying this, Su Yuanying even pretended to sigh.
Chen Shuo briefly recounted to Su Yuanying what Lu Chen had told him about the Ghost King coming to find him.
The more he spoke, the more nervous Su Xiyan became!
She didn't know if the Ghost King meant harm to Chen Shuo.
After listening to Chen Shuo's narrative, Su Yuanying's face showed no expression, as if he had known all of this long ago.
"Is that so?" Su Yuanying picked up his bowl and drank some double-boiled soup.
"The soup at this restaurant is not bad. Your studies are very tiring, drink more to nourish yourselves."
After saying this, Su Yuanying even ladled a bowl of soup each for Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan, showing no airs of an elder at all.
Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan exchanged glances, both full of questions.
They thought Su Yuanying was about to announce some major decision, but unexpectedly, throughout the entire meal, their conversation with Su Yuanying still didn't reveal any substantial information, just casual everyday chatter.
Finally, Su Xiyan couldn't hold back anymore: "Dad, did you really call us here for lunch just to have a meal?"
"Is there nothing else you want to tell us?"
Su Yuanying put down his chopsticks: "Huh?"
"What else could there be?"
"Does a father need a reason to invite his daughter and future son-in-law for a meal?"
Chen Shuo quickly denied: "Of course not, in the future, as long as we have time, we'll come to have meals with you, Uncle Su! Just call and we'll be here! No hesitation!"
He still needed to curry favor!
Chen Shuo thought, analyzing the current situation, the person most likely to help him reverse his bloodline and turn back into a human in the future was still more likely to be Su Yuanying!
He was already at Platinum Three, just a step away from the Legendary realm.
As for Su Xiyan, she had been so engrossed in romance lately that she seemed to have not leveled up for a long, long time...
Chen Shuo looked at Su Xiyan, his mind full of disappointment.
It was time to stimulate Su Xiyan, to make her rediscover her inner goal and strive to become a Legendary realm hunter as soon as possible.
With the double insurance of Su Yuanying and Su Xiyan,
turning back into a human was just around the corner!
Thinking of this, Chen Shuo felt a bit excited inside!
Su Yuanying was quite satisfied with Chen Shuo's performance, nodding,
Then he said to Su Xiyan: "Look at Chen Shuo, this is how you should treat your elders!"
Su Xiyan: "..."
She felt helpless inside, it seemed that she, the biological daughter, had once again been left out by Chen Shuo and her father.
After the meal, Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan had to hurry back to school for class.
Su Yuanying stood by his car, watching the direction Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan left in, his gaze gradually becoming calm.
His eyes were deep, like an owl's!
Su Yuanying originally had some plans he wanted to discuss with Chen Shuo face to face, but seeing how sweet Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan were together, he changed his mind.
Many things had been entangled for decades.
If they were to be resolved, he should do it himself!
Chen Shuo should stay behind to protect Su Xiyan!
At this moment, Su Yuanying didn't know that his arch-enemy of several decades would ultimately require Chen Shuo to resolve.

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.
