Chen Shuo accessed the system and performed a comprehensive search of the entire Su Mansion.
The results made Chen Shuo's face darken - Su Xiyan was not in the Su Mansion!
How could a person just suddenly vanish into thin air? Could it be that vampires had appeared in Su City, and she had gone to deal with the situation?
Chen Shuo could only speculate along these lines, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
He had originally planned to visit Su Yuanying once more before leaving, but now he had lost all interest in doing so.
Driving away from the Su Mansion, Chen Shuo headed directly for a particular place.
It was the same familiar street, with the same familiar group of women. The women of Brothel Street were flaunting their figures, soliciting passersby.
As soon as Chen Shuo got out of the car, the scene unfolded just like last time.
"Handsome, want to have some fun? We've just got a new batch of fresh girls, guaranteed to satisfy you."
A woman immediately grabbed Chen Shuo's wrist, pulling eagerly. Chen Shuo refused and broke free, saying repeatedly, "No need, I don't want anything."
"Handsome, the quality is top-notch. How about this - try the goods first, and if you're satisfied, we can discuss the price later?"
The woman was still persistent. To spark Chen Shuo's interest, she boldly exposed a patch of snow-white skin on her chest.
As she pressed close to Chen Shuo, she seemed eager for him to embrace her fully.
Already anxious from the lack of news about Su Xiyan, and now being constantly pestered, Chen Shuo's anger flared up: "Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Chen Shuo's angry shout and the chilling aura emanating from his body frightened the woman, causing her to back away repeatedly.
Faced with Chen Shuo's attitude, she also became indignant: "You psycho, what's a man doing on this street if not for fun? What else are you here for?"
Chen Shuo chose to ignore the prostitute's mockery.
Looking around, Chen Shuo locked onto a direction. The bright big characters on the storefront were eye-catching.
"Fangfang Foot Bath Shop"
Chen Shuo didn't bother with the woman anymore and headed straight for the Fangfang Foot Bath Shop without looking back. Because he had already sensed that aura.
And he was certain that the person he sought was inside.
Before entering, Chen Shuo also noticed the contemptuous glance from the woman who had tried to solicit him earlier.
It was as if she was subtly saying that Chen Shuo was just a hypocrite, pretending to be a big shot.
As he walked inside, the temperature lower than usual made Chen Shuo very uncomfortable.
Chen Shuo knew this was caused by the condensation of yin energy, and it confirmed his belief that the female vampire was indeed here.
"Come out, stop hiding."
Chen Shuo's icy voice was like a thousand-year-old glacier, unapproachable.
"You, always so unromantic, really. That little sister at the door greeted you so warmly, and you could remain unmoved. I really don't know if you're a man or not."
After a coquettish voice sounded, a seductive figure appeared out of thin air in front of Chen Shuo.
She was sitting with her legs crossed, her fair and slender thighs fully visible.
Any normal man who saw this would have indecent thoughts.
It wasn't that Chen Shuo was abnormal, but in his eyes, he could see what ordinary people couldn't. No matter how alluring the female vampire tried to be, in his eyes, she was just an ugly, disgusting vampire drooling saliva.
"I'm not here to flirt with you."
"Of course I know that. So, how's the task our Demon King assigned to you going?" The female vampire didn't seem to maintain any distance from Chen Shuo despite the previous lessons.
As she leaned closer to Chen Shuo, she looked at him with great desire.
Ordinary women might not be able to detect the powerful aura emanating from Chen Shuo, but as a vampire, she could clearly sense the special energy from Chen Shuo's body. It was so attractive to her, she wanted to possess it.
It was this powerful aura that made the female vampire covet Chen Shuo, which was why she had tried to get close to him several times.
The scent emanating from Chen Shuo's body fascinated her; she wished she could devour him whole.
Of course, she could only think about it. The vast disparity in strength made her realize that if she had any improper thoughts, she might be reduced to ashes on the spot.
She had witnessed Chen Shuo's ruthlessness before, so no matter how provocative she acted, she didn't dare to actually make a move.
"I'm asking you, has Su Xiyan been taken away by you people?"
Chen Shuo asked coldly. Right now, he only wanted to know Su Xiyan's whereabouts; everything else was unimportant.
"Su Xiyan? Who's Su Xiyan?" The female vampire looked confused.
"Stop playing dumb with me. Tell me, has Su Xiyan been taken away by you people?"
As Chen Shuo spoke, he advanced towards the female vampire. Feeling the powerful pressure emanating from Chen Shuo's body, the female vampire was terrified, her face losing all color.
The slight flush that had been on her face disappeared in an instant.
"You... you... what are you trying to do? I... I'll have you know, your parents are still in my hands..."
The female vampire was so scared she stuttered, unable to speak clearly.
She was completely bewildered. She had thought Chen Shuo had come this time to prepare his "entry fee."
But Chen Shuo's furious demeanor clearly indicated that something major had happened.
"Let me tell you, don't threaten me. If you don't tell me Su Xiyan's whereabouts today, even if you use my parents as leverage, I'll make you pay a terrible price."
Chen Shuo's eyes were bloodshot, and the force in his hands increased.
How dare the female vampire defy Chen Shuo? She had witnessed Chen Shuo's methods before, so she immediately said tearfully, "I really don't know what you're talking about... Isn't Su Xiyan your girlfriend? If she's missing, why are you coming to us?"
"If it's not you, then who else could it be?"
"Come on, big brother, can you be a bit reasonable? You're by her side 24 hours a day. Even if I wanted to make a move, I wouldn't have had the chance..."
The female vampire said helplessly. This was truly an undeserved disaster. She had never even seen Su Xiyan.
Although she had thought about kidnapping Su Xiyan before, she never had the opportunity. After these two encounters with Chen Shuo, she was even more afraid to try.
Daring to kidnap someone from his side? Wouldn't that be seeking death?
The female vampire's words made Chen Shuo fall into a moment of contemplation. Thinking carefully, it was indeed true.
In fact, he had considered these points earlier, but concern had clouded his judgment, leaving his mind in a complete muddle, forgetting to consider these basic facts.
"Think carefully again. Did you make her angry? Or is there some misunderstanding between you two?"
Seeing Chen Shuo suddenly pause, the female vampire quickly reminded him from the side.
Having nearly lost her life once again, the female vampire had absolutely no attitude left in front of Chen Shuo. Her only thought now was to quickly appease this master and send him on his way as soon as possible...
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
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.

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.
