"Chen Shuo, are... are you alright?"
After the female vampire disappeared, Su Xiyan hurriedly came forward to check on Chen Shuo's condition. She had heard everything just now - asking Chen Shuo to fight against Elder Xu was simply an impossible task.
Faced with Su Xiyan's concern, Chen Shuo forced a smile: "I'm fine. Do I look like there's anything wrong with me?"
But how could Su Xiyan not understand Chen Shuo? She knew he was just trying not to worry her.
"What are you planning to do? Really kill Elder Xu?"
Su Xiyan's heart was pounding. How could it be easy to kill a Demon Hunter of the Legendary Realm?
It's worth noting that Demon Hunters of the Legendary Realm were at the pinnacle of power among Demon Hunters. Anyone who could achieve this realm was a great cultivator capable of shaking the world.
Although Su Xiyan had never witnessed a Legendary Realm Demon Hunter in action, she understood somewhat from various literary records.
After reaching the Legendary Realm, one could use the power of heaven and earth in battle.
It's important to understand that the power of heaven and earth is inexhaustible. Even if Chen Shuo had the strength of a Demon King, he would still struggle to match up in a clash.
Even if, as the other party said, the Demon King would step in to assist at the crucial moment, if they really killed Elder Xu, how could the authorities in the capital stand idly by?
Once the capital got involved, everything would be beyond salvation.
Chen Shuo didn't respond, because he also didn't know what to do.
The choice was right in front of him, and he had no other path to take. His parents gave birth to him and raised him; without them, he wouldn't be who he is today.
No matter what, Chen Shuo could never abandon his parents.
So no matter how difficult, even if it was a mountain of knives, he had to cross it.
"Chen Shuo, you must stay calm. We must have other options. Let's go find my father first, he might have a solution," Su Xiyan urged, trying to stabilize Chen Shuo's emotions.
In the current situation, seeking help from Su Yuanying was their only option.
Although the chances might be slim, who knows what the result would be if they didn't try?
"Look how worried you are. Who am I? The mighty Demon King, whose girlfriend is the most outstanding Demon Hunter of the younger generation. How could I not have a way? Relax, I'll handle everything."
Chen Shuo quickly regained his previous composure, just as he said, he was a Demon Saint, the highest level of power among vampires.
How could he let such a trifling matter stump him?
Su Xiyan was still uneasy. In her view, Chen Shuo was saying this just to put her mind at ease.
But this time, Su Xiyan was wrong. Chen Shuo wasn't just trying to reassure her; he had actually thought of a solution.
Although it was somewhat risky, and there was a high probability of failure, who would know the result if they didn't try?
But he believed that with his strength and Su Xiyan's presence, it wasn't impossible.
"It's getting late. Shall we go back and rest? We can talk about everything tomorrow,"
Chen Shuo glanced at the time; it was almost midnight. Su Xiyan had a busy schedule every day, and Chen Shuo didn't want to waste her rest time.
"But..."
"No buts. I said it's fine, so it's fine. Be good, or I'll have to spank you!"
Chen Shuo said seriously, but these words made Su Xiyan's face turn red: "You... how can you be so shameless?"
"Shameless? What am I being shameless about?" Chen Shuo looked confused.
"You know what! How can you be like this, no matter what I say or do wrong, you can't..."
Su Xiyan felt her face burning hot. This was the first time she had heard Chen Shuo say such provocative words.
For some reason, at that moment, she imagined Chen Shuo actually doing it, which made her even more embarrassed and indignant.
Seeing Su Xiyan's reaction, Chen Shuo also revealed a mischievous smile: "What? What can't I do?"
"I... I can't say it..."
"Since you can't say it, then I'll do as I please."
"No, absolutely not. You can't spank me. No one has ever done that to me before..." Su Xiyan's voice got smaller and smaller, until it was barely audible at the end.
Chen Shuo's hearing was far superior to normal humans. Although the voice was pitifully small, he heard it crystal clear.
"Well, that depends on your behavior. As long as you're good, how could I bear to spank you?" Chen Shuo asked with a smile.
This time, Su Xiyan didn't dare to defy Chen Shuo, because she was afraid he might actually do it.
After returning home, Su Xiyan rushed back to her own room without delay, even forgetting to say goodnight to Chen Shuo.
Seeing Su Xiyan's fearful appearance, Chen Shuo was quite surprised.
Is this really the domineering Su Xiyan he knew? Usually, she wasn't afraid of anything.
Even when it came to flirting, she seemed more skilled and assertive than him.
But today's encounter refreshed Chen Shuo's perception. Could this be what people online often call the gap moe?
The more pure, adorable, girl-next-door type, the kind who wears glasses and looks proper, the wilder they are in private.
Conversely, those who seem open and experienced usually become timid when it really matters.
It seems Su Xiyan belongs to the latter category. She talks a big game, but when it comes down to it...
As Chen Shuo thought about this, he couldn't help but find it amusing. The gloom in his heart completely disappeared at this moment.
It wasn't that he was heartless or unconcerned about his parents' safety. In fact, there wasn't much need to worry, at least until he showed his "sincerity", his parents would be safe.
After all, they were the bargaining chips, and their captors wouldn't dare to mistreat them.
Lost in thought, Chen Shuo fell asleep peacefully. When he woke up again, it was to Su Xiyan startling him awake.
"Wake up quickly! Our dad and mom are still in the Demon King's hands. How can you sleep so peacefully?"
As soon as Chen Shuo woke up, he saw Su Xiyan's reproachful gaze. The drowsiness he still had vanished in that moment.
Chen Shuo hadn't expected Su Xiyan to call them "our dad and mom" so naturally, even more smoothly than he did. If one didn't know better, they might think it was Su Xiyan's parents who had been captured.
"I'm conserving my energy. Besides, this matter can't be rushed. What do you want for breakfast? I'll make it for you." Chen Shuo stretched several times, finally feeling more awake.
Su Xiyan, on the other hand, was the complete opposite, like an ant on a hot pan. Hearing that Chen Shuo still wanted to eat breakfast, she became even more anxious: "What time do you think it is to be eating breakfast? Listen to me, let's act quickly and go find my dad for help."
"The body is iron, the meal is steel. How can we have the strength to act if we don't eat properly?" Chen Shuo insisted on his view, though deep down, he was also very moved.
Having a girlfriend like Su Xiyan was truly a blessing of several lifetimes. However, they couldn't rush at the moment. If they wanted to succeed, it still depended on whether the other party was willing to help. If they were willing, everything would fall into place.
If they weren't willing, then things would get complicated.
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
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.
