[Vampire level: Intermediate.]
[Location: 378 meters from the host!]
Chen Shuo immediately perked up. Coming shopping wasn't a mistake after all! He might even be able to do some business?
A vampire, huh? Only intermediate level? He wondered how many points an intermediate vampire would be worth.
Chen Shuo called out to Su Xiyan: "Su Xiyan."
Su Xiyan, who was shopping with Cheng Xinran, heard Chen Shuo calling her name and turned around. "Hmm?"
Su Xiyan hadn't upgraded her rank in a very long time, which made Chen Shuo anxious.
Although Su Yuanying's rank was just a step away from the Legendary Realm, according to the information Chen Shuo had received, Su Yuanying had been stuck at Platinum Tier 3 for an extremely long time, unable to break through that final threshold.
So, it was better to have a backup plan.
Besides, Su Xiyan's long legs were smooth and fair, with perfect proportions! Hugging those thighs would definitely be much more comfortable than hugging Su Yuanying's.
It was better to honestly help Su Xiyan level up!
Su Xiyan turned back and looked at Chen Shuo, who seemed lost in thought, and asked, "You suddenly called me, is something wrong?"
Chen Shuo didn't want to reveal that he had a System, fearing it might raise Su Xiyan's suspicions. He could only hint at her: "Don't you feel like it's a bit cold? Kind of eerie, with chilly gusts of wind?"
Su Xiyan and Cheng Xinran looked at the sun high in the sky: "Even though it's winter, the temperature today is quite pleasant, isn't it?"
Cheng Xinran asked in a meaningful tone: "Chen Shuo, you feel cold in this bright sunshine?"
"Could it be that you're physically weak?"
Chen Shuo: "..."
He hadn't planned on responding to the little girl Cheng Xinran, but Su Xiyan beside her was looking at Chen Shuo with a schadenfreude expression.
So, Chen Shuo simply threw the question back at Su Xiyan:
"Whether I'm weak or not, why don't you ask Su Xiyan?"
Chen Shuo's question left Su Xiyan at a loss for how to answer.
Instantly, her delicate face alternated between red and white, her small mouth moved slightly several times, and finally, she only coquettishly said: "Chen Shuo, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Cheng Xinran drawled: "Oh~~~ I get it~~~"
Su Xiyan: "You're just a kid, what do you understand? Don't listen to Chen Shuo's nonsense!"
"How would I know if Chen Shuo is weak or not?"
Chen Shuo: "If we weren't on the street right now, I'd really want to immediately show you with actions whether I'm weak or not."
Actions?
What kind of adult topic was this?
Cheng Xinran was shocked speechless, and after a while, she leaned close to Su Xiyan's ear and asked: "Wow! Xiyan, so you and Chen Shuo have already developed to this level?"
Su Xiyan reacted: "What level? I don't even know myself? Nonsense!"
Cheng Xinran coughed twice: "Ahem! Ahem!"
"Let's not continue this topic, we're on the street now with people coming and going, can't you two be a bit more discreet?"
"If this goes on, I might have to pretend I don't know you two!"
Chen Shuo was very frustrated. He had wanted to hint to them that there was a vampire nearby, and he had even directly mentioned the eerie gusts of wind, but why were they so slow to react?
Su Xiyan wasn't like this before. The first time they met, in the small alley behind South University, when Su Xiyan cornered Chen Shuo, her senses were extremely sharp!
Could it be true that women in love really do become less intelligent?
If hints didn't work, he'd have to be direct!
"Su Xiyan, do you have..."
Halfway through his sentence, Chen Shuo stopped!
He suddenly realized that today's vampire was not right!!
Su Xiyan looked at Chen Shuo who had stopped mid-sentence: "What's wrong with you today? You're acting strange."
Chen Shuo waved his hand: "It's... it's nothing."
The more Chen Shuo refused to answer, the more Su Xiyan's curiosity was piqued: "Chen Shuo, explain yourself clearly."
"You just asked me if I have what?"
"If you don't explain clearly, can I assume you have something to hide?"
Cheng Xinran also joined in, her face full of a "Did you bully my best friend?" expression.
Chen Shuo: ...
Faced with the questioning of the two girls, Chen Shuo had to use his trump card, blurting out:
"I wanted to ask if you missed me!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, both Su Xiyan and Cheng Xinran were stunned.
This was on the street, okay?
Wasn't Su Xiyan standing right in front of him?
Looking at Su Xiyan and then asking Su Xiyan if she missed him?
What kind of move was this?
Cheng Xinran felt they were deliberately showing off their affection in front of her!
This move was quite effective on Su Xiyan!
She stopped questioning Chen Shuo and didn't suspect anything anymore. Her tone also softened considerably: "Chen Shuo, in the future, you can just tell me such things directly, no need to beat around the bush."
Although her heart was fluttering uncontrollably, Su Xiyan still maintained her cool goddess demeanor on the surface.
After speaking, Su Xiyan walked a couple of steps forward.
Then she suddenly stopped, turned back, and put her milk tea in Chen Shuo's hand: "Let's share our drinks!"
"I like your... your milk tea."
Chen Shuo inwardly complained: Su Xiyan sure knows how to pause for effect!!
Taking Su Xiyan's milk tea, he noticed a faint red mark on the straw, matching the color of her lipstick today.
As Chen Shuo was hesitating whether to drink the milk tea, Su Xiyan turned back again and said to Chen Shuo:
"I can answer your question from earlier now."
"Yes."
After saying this, Su Xiyan turned and ran a few steps to continue shopping with Cheng Xinran.
Chen Shuo watched Su Xiyan's retreating figure,
Thinking to himself: Women, truly inexplicable!
How can they switch between so many emotions in just a few seconds? What a mysterious species!
Chen Shuo's thoughts returned to the vampire.
The reason he felt something was off about this vampire was because the System panel indicated it was only an intermediate-level vampire. Given Su Xiyan's rank, she should definitely be able to sense the vampire's presence within a few hundred meters!
Moreover, Cheng Xinran beside her had search experience.
Even if Su Xiyan didn't notice, Cheng Xinran's search and detection network should have been able to detect the presence of an intermediate-level vampire!
It would be one thing if one of them hadn't noticed, but how could both of them fail to detect the intermediate vampire's presence?
There was only one possibility: this vampire's aura must have been concealed by a higher-ranked vampire, preventing the Demon Hunters from sensing its existence.
A positioning radar appeared on the virtual System panel in front of Chen Shuo's eyes. The vampire's trace was displayed on the radar map.
It seemed to follow a pattern?
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.
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.”

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."
