"Alright, hurry up and tell me, what were you just doing?" Chen Shuo asked with an amused smile, looking at Su Xiyan's guilty expression.
Anyone who wasn't a fool could see something was up.
"I wasn't doing anything, just checking my phone, replying to some messages and stuff," Su Xiyan said, growing increasingly flustered. She didn't know what had come over her.
She hadn't really done anything out of line, but as soon as Chen Shuo appeared, she got nervous, and then the whole series of events just unfolded.
"Really nothing? Then let me see your phone?" Chen Shuo reached out for Su Xiyan's phone, eyeing her innocent expression.
"No, no, that's my privacy, how can I just let you look at it!" Su Xiyan waved her hands frantically, looking troubled.
But it was worth noting that before this, Su Xiyan had never kept anything private from him. This sudden claim of privacy couldn't help but make Chen Shuo suspicious that something was going on.
"You're keeping secrets from me now?" Chen Shuo asked.
This gave Su Xiyan pause. In all the time they'd known each other, she had never hidden anything from Chen Shuo.
If there was anything private, it would probably just be her body.
Other than that, they could talk about anything. It was just that what she was dealing with right now was embarrassing, and she didn't want Chen Shuo to see it.
"Don't get the wrong idea, it's just some girl talk between me and my bestie. I can't let you see it because, you know, girl talk isn't for other people to see," Su Xiyan explained, her face flushed.
People are curious by nature. Chen Shuo was no exception. The more someone tries to hide something, the more it piques one's curiosity.
"I'm your fiancé now, it shouldn't be a problem if I take a look, right? Come on, give it here."
Chen Shuo beckoned to Su Xiyan. At first, Su Xiyan refused.
But seeing Chen Shuo's insistent gaze, Su Xiyan reluctantly gave in.
"Promise you won't laugh after you see it, okay?"
Faced with Su Xiyan's request, Chen Shuo agreed without hesitation. After unlocking Su Xiyan's phone, Chen Shuo found the chat content between the two girls in the messaging app.
Su Xiyan: [My dear bestie, I need your help urgently!]
Cheng Xinran: [What's wrong now, princess? Aren't you and Chen Shuo together now? What? Having trouble breaking through that final barrier?]
Su Xiyan: [Tsk tsk tsk, what nonsense are you talking about? It's not that kind of problem.]
Cheng Xinran: [No way, you still haven't sealed the deal after all this time? Can't your charms win over that guy? Don't tell me he's got some kind of performance issues?]
Su Xiyan: [Stop joking around. I'm at Chen Shuo's parents' house now. It's my first time visiting officially, I'm nervous. Also, everyone else is busy, and I'm just sitting here idle. Can you help me think of something I can do to leave a good impression?]
Cheng Xinran: [Wait, didn't you meet Chen Shuo's mom before? She likes you, right? You're fine just sitting there, why do you need to do anything? If you really feel like you have nothing to do, I'll give you a goal: tonight, seal the deal with Chen Shuo, and make your sister proud!]
That's where the conversation ended, with an unsent message from Su Xiyan still in the chat box.
When Chen Shuo finished reading everything, his face was a mix of complex emotions.
He finally understood why conversations between girlfriends shouldn't be seen by outsiders.
What scandalous talk this was! Seeing Chen Shuo frozen in place, Su Xiyan quickly snatched her phone back.
"See? I told you not to look, but you insisted," Su Xiyan said, utterly embarrassed.
She even regretted not deleting their chat history immediately.
Now Chen Shuo had seen everything. Especially those risqué comments from her best friend.
At this moment, Su Xiyan wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"So you've been nervous about how to behave, is that it?" Chen Shuo changed the subject to ease the awkwardness.
He hadn't expected that the seemingly calm Su Xiyan would be troubled by such concerns.
Su Xiyan didn't speak, just nodded awkwardly.
She saw that Chen Shuo's parents were busy, but since she arrived, she had been just sitting there doing nothing. Su Xiyan felt uneasy.
She felt that if she didn't help out with something, it would leave a bad impression on Chen Shuo's parents.
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? You're a guest in my home, since when do we make guests work?"
Chen Shuo ruffled Su Xiyan's hair, gesturing for her to relax.
But Su Xiyan couldn't relax. The more she cared, the more nervous she became.
She wanted to leave a perfect impression, so naturally, she wanted to do her best.
"Silly, my mom has always thought highly of you, so she won't be dissatisfied with you," Chen Shuo reassured her, seeing that Su Xiyan still couldn't let it go.
But Su Xiyan didn't see it that way. She said, "But what about your dad? What if..."
Su Xiyan didn't know how to continue. Seeing Su Xiyan so concerned, Chen Shuo couldn't help but smile.
It seemed Su Xiyan really cared about him. Deep down, Chen Shuo was quite happy about this.
It felt good to be valued like this. However, to ease Su Xiyan's inner turmoil, he explained further:
"You should just relax. Let's not talk about anything else. When I went to your house before, did your parents make me do anything?"
Faced with Chen Shuo's question, Su Xiyan thought hard for a long time, then shook her head in response.
"See? Since your father and your family didn't make me do anything, naturally you don't need to do anything when you come to my house. Can't you just relax and enjoy yourself?"
Chen Shuo's careful analysis calmed Su Xiyan down a bit, but thinking about Chen Shuo's parents still bustling about, Su Xiyan couldn't quite let it go. "But..."
"Alright, no more buts. If you really can't stop worrying, how about this: why don't you think about how to 'seal the deal' with me?"
Chen Shuo said with a mischievous grin. He never imagined that girls' chat content could be so explicit.
Unlike conversations between men, which are concise and mostly filled with useless banter - this girl has a nice butt, that one has big breasts - always staying at the level of words, without any substantial action.
In contrast, Su Xiyan's chat history refreshed his stereotypical understanding of girls. Who would have thought?
Girls were much stronger than guys in this aspect.
"Oh really? You're teasing me now, aren't you? You think I don't dare? If you've got the guts, don't close your door tonight, and sleep in the same bed with me."
Su Xiyan was provoked by Chen Shuo's words. This was blatant provocation.
Who did he think Su Xiyan was? When had she ever been provoked like this?
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
