"Your worry is unnecessary. Nothing really happened with that female ghost. It was just a simple entanglement, with some minor physical contact - very ordinary and common stuff," Chen Shuo said casually, while deliberately glancing at Su Xiyan.
Su Xiyan's expressions were rich and varied, from initial anger to surprise, her pupils contracting, trembling, and then shaking with rage. Throughout, there was not a hint of affectation; every facial expression was genuine.
To Chen Shuo's surprise, even with all this, Su Xiyan remained silent.
This was somewhat unexpected for Chen Shuo. He had thought that after saying such things, Su Xiyan would cry and make a scene, or at least show some intense emotion.
But the actual situation seemed to deviate significantly from his expectations, leaving Chen Shuo perplexed.
Perhaps he hadn't pushed hard enough? Should he increase the intensity?
With this thought in mind, Chen Shuo proceeded to act.
"Do you know why that female ghost was able to escape? I deliberately let her go. She promised me that she would do anything for me if I wanted. You know, anything!" Chen Shuo deliberately repeated the word "anything" with great emphasis.
It was this repetition that finally broke Su Xiyan's calm demeanor. Her eyes seemed to shoot fire as she exclaimed, "Chen Shuo! You... you despicable man, how could you do something to betray me?"
Su Xiyan completely lost her usual rationality and goddess-like composure. She lunged at Chen Shuo, viciously slapping him repeatedly.
Chen Shuo hadn't expected things to escalate so quickly. It was only when the slaps landed on his body that he truly reacted.
Those slaps were so heavy, so painful!
Who could have imagined that a woman, in a state of extreme anger, could possess such strength?
Under normal circumstances, as a Vampire, both in terms of speed and physical resilience, one would surpass ordinary humans by countless times.
The same injury that might be unbearable for a normal person could be easily endured by a Vampire, even without a scratch.
And Chen Shuo, being a Demon Saint, was physically superior even to ordinary Vampires.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Vampires below the level of Demon King couldn't even scratch Chen Shuo's skin if they attacked him.
Yet, in this situation, each of Su Xiyan's slaps caused Chen Shuo to feel waves of pain. This was...
Chen Shuo was momentarily confused. He had intended to test how much Su Xiyan cared for him, but now it seemed he had gone too far. The result was clear, but it appeared he had overplayed his hand.
But what could he do now? He had to bear the consequences of the problem he created.
Chen Shuo endured Su Xiyan's outburst without making a sound.
At first, Su Xiyan was immersed in her own anger and sorrow, venting without restraint. But as time passed, she began to notice something odd.
No matter how hard she hit, Chen Shuo neither dodged nor whimpered. He just kept looking at her intently, and through that gaze, she saw Chen Shuo's deep affection.
It was that look that brought Su Xiyan back to her senses. Her hand, raised high in the air, suddenly stopped. She looked at Chen Shuo with a complex expression.
"Why... why aren't you dodging?" Su Xiyan asked, her voice trembling. Having calmed down, she now saw the red marks she had left on Chen Shuo's body, each slap clearly visible.
Even Su Xiyan herself found it hard to believe that she had treated Chen Shuo so harshly.
She had never hit Chen Shuo before, no matter what problems they encountered. How could she have such an intense reaction just because of what he said this time?
It was as if she had been possessed by an evil spirit, her mind clouded by rage.
All she could think of was anger and venting, completely forgetting that the person in front of her was the one she deeply loved.
"I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to... I was too emotional just now, I..."
Before Chen Shuo could speak, Su Xiyan tightly embraced him, her apologetic demeanor mixed with glistening tears, making her even more pitiful.
Seeing Su Xiyan's intense reaction, Chen Shuo realized he had indeed gone too far.
Hugging Su Xiyan back, he comforted her in a gentle voice, "Silly girl, I was just teasing you earlier. You have always been the most important person in my life. In fact, I fell in love with you the moment I first saw you."
"Even though our beginning was like a drama, you should remember that from the moment I chose you, there has been and will only be you in my heart."
"So, you can rest assured that no matter what situation I'm in or how great the temptation, when faced with a choice, I will always choose you without hesitation, because you're worth it."
Every word came from the depths of Chen Shuo's heart. He wasn't typically one for sentimental talk.
But at this moment, he expressed his true feelings, revealing his genuine self.
"But... I... I just didn't trust you. I thought you..."
Su Xiyan sobbed, her tear-stained face coupled with her exquisite beauty would make anyone's heart ache.
Chen Shuo gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Su Xiyan's eyes, smiling calmly, "Silly, I don't see that as distrust, but as concern, fear of losing me. I felt your love, so I won't blame you."
"Come on, no more crying, okay? Smile for me, let me see your sweet smile."
Under Chen Shuo's coaxing, Su Xiyan gradually regained her composure.
After taking a deep breath to suppress her sobs, Su Xiyan forced out a smile. Just as Chen Shuo was about to give Su Xiyan a passionate kiss, a sharp pain came from his ear.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
Chen Shuo sucked in a cold breath, repeatedly crying out in pain. The one inflicting this pain was none other than Su Xiyan, who had been crying her eyes out just moments ago.
Now Su Xiyan's eyes were full of resentment, her cheeks puffed up in anger, looking both cute and frightening.
"You, Chen Shuo, you've learned to deceive people, huh? You've learned to toy with me, is that it? Tell me, who taught you this? Do you have a death wish? Do you really think that just because you're stronger now, because you're a Demon King, I can't deal with you?"
Hearing Su Xiyan's tirade, Chen Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Well, the tender moment was short-lived, and in the end, he was the one suffering.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I'll never dare to do it again."
"What? You'll never dare again? Does that mean there might be a next time?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I meant I promise there won't be a next time."
"You're still thinking about a next time?"
"..."
Faced with Su Xiyan's unreasonableness, Chen Shuo was at a loss for words. There was nothing he could do; he had to bear the consequences of the trouble he had stirred up...

However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw!

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement.

However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary.

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.
