After finishing everything, Chen Shuo prepared to head home.
However, just before leaving, he was grabbed by Shen Xu, who didn't want to express gratitude, but rather...
Begged him to keep today's events a secret.
Although Chen Shuo was somewhat exasperated, he reluctantly agreed after Shen Xu's desperate pleading.
This guy already had a bad reputation, so why did he still care about saving face?
Did he think people wouldn't figure it out if Chen Shuo didn't say anything?
The cheap perfume smell on him was enough to explain everything.
Why would a grown man smell like a woman? Wasn't that obviously suspicious?
After saying goodbye to Shen Xu, Chen Shuo rushed back home immediately.
After this series of events, he needed to talk to Su Xiyan about the risks involved and warn her to be careful.
After all, they couldn't always be together, and if something happened when they were apart, it could be disastrous.
But as soon as he reached the front door, the brightly lit interior made Chen Shuo pause.
Su Xiyan usually left a light on for Chen Shuo, but never like this with every light blazing. This made Chen Shuo feel uneasy.
"Oh no, could it be..."
A bad feeling arose, and Chen Shuo didn't dare delay. He quickened his pace and hurried inside.
The moment he pushed open the door, his tension eased somewhat.
The scene before his eyes was Su Xiyan talking with her father, and beside them sat a person Chen Shuo didn't recognize.
This person was an elderly man wearing a Zhongshan suit, with white hair but a youthful face. Although his temples were graying, his eyes sparkled with vitality, exuding an air of vigor.
Moreover, at first glance, Chen Shuo could sense that the aura emanating from him was different from ordinary people. Even just sitting there quietly, he gave off an imposing presence.
This kind of aura was something even Su Yuanying didn't possess, which made Chen Shuo's gaze linger on him.
The old man clearly noticed Chen Shuo as well. While Chen Shuo was observing him, the elder stared straight back at Chen Shuo.
His eagle-like sharp gaze seemed to want to penetrate to Chen Shuo's very core.
Chen Shuo didn't hesitate and immediately activated his system to scan the person before him. What he discovered was shocking.
[Name: Xu Changjun, Age: 78, Level: Legendary Demon Hunter, Personality: Decisive, hates evil, shows no mercy when drawing his sword...]
Seeing these striking words, Chen Shuo's heart was filled with complex emotions. What he had expected had finally come, but he hadn't anticipated it would happen so quickly.
A Legendary Demon Hunter - Chen Shuo had always thought they only existed in legends. Seeing one in person for the first time made him feel somewhat surreal.
The man's personality also gave him some concern - hating evil and being decisive.
If he discovered Chen Shuo's identity, then...
Seeing Chen Shuo return, Su Xiyan quickly stood up to greet him: "You're back! Let me introduce you - this is Elder Xu, a senior from the Demon Hunters' Guild who just arrived from the capital."
"Hello, Elder Xu!" Chen Shuo nodded to Xu Changjun, maintaining a neither humble nor arrogant demeanor throughout.
Chen Shuo had no particular fondness for the man before him, but also no significantly negative impression.
He just didn't know why, but this person's appearance made him feel uneasy. Especially the strong Demon Hunter aura around him, which also contained the resentful energy of many slain vampires.
This was enough to prove that this man had killed countless demons, which was why he was shrouded in that resentful energy.
It's no exaggeration to say that just that hint of resentful energy could make ordinary vampires collapse in fear on the spot.
Fortunately, Chen Shuo was a Demon Saint. Although he could sense that aura, it didn't have much effect on him.
Under Su Xiyan's introduction, the old man also rose from his seat and walked directly towards Chen Shuo: "Young man, you're too polite. As Su family's son-in-law, you haven't disappointed me. You have both looks and bearing."
Xu Changjun's words were deeply meaningful, especially the way he sized up Chen Shuo, as if he wanted to devour him.
"Elder Xu, my son-in-law is shy around strangers. If he's impolite in any way, please forgive him," Su Yuanying quickly intervened, sensing the awkward atmosphere.
"Brother Su, look at you, getting all protective. I'm just having a simple chat, don't be so nervous," Xu Changjun said with a smile, but his gaze never left Chen Shuo.
"Not at all, have some tea, have some tea!" Su Yuanying continued to smooth things over, while Su Xiyan, also afraid that Chen Shuo's true nature might be discovered, stepped forward to play hostess.
"Grandpa Xu, this tea is this year's fresh Maojian, top quality. It's rare in the capital. You must try it while you're here. If you like it, I can have some sent to you when you return."
Faced with their attempts to change the subject, Xu Changjun remained unmoved: "No rush. We can drink tea anytime, but people... you don't get to meet them just any time."
"For some reason, meeting this young man gives me a sense of familiarity, especially the aura around him. It feels very familiar!"
Xu Changjun's sudden remark made the Su father and daughter break out in a cold sweat. They exchanged worried glances.
If Chen Shuo's identity was discovered by this man, the consequences would be unthinkable.
He was a Legendary Demon Hunter. Although Su Yuanying was half a step into the legendary realm, that half step was an enormous gap.
Even if father and daughter joined forces, they couldn't hold this man back for a moment.
Moreover, this Legendary Demon Hunter had even slain Demon Kings before. Although Chen Shuo was also a Demon King, he would have no chance against this man.
"Elder Xu, you're joking again. This is your first meeting, how could there be any familiarity? It's just that my son-in-law has a kind face," Su Yuanying tried to smooth things over again, but his words were completely ignored by Xu Changjun.
Xu Changjun stepped closer to Chen Shuo and even started sniffing him lightly.
This abrupt behavior made Chen Shuo instinctively step back, but he had barely moved half a step when Xu Changjun grabbed his shoulder: "Wait, why do you smell like a vampire?"
At these words, Chen Shuo's heart skipped a beat. In the next moment, the cold energy within his body condensed. He had made full preparations.
If the other party made a move, he would strike back immediately.
"Did you just have contact with a female vampire? At least a Half Ghost King level of power?"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
