Hearing this, Chen Shuo became somewhat intimidated.
He had originally intended to liven up the atmosphere, but Su Xiyan showed no fear at all.
Chen Shuo's little scheme was immediately seen through by Su Xiyan. Seeing that Chen Shuo didn't dare respond right away, Su Xiyan took half a step closer, her rosy lips moving: "What's wrong? Scared?"
"Who says I'm scared? This is my house, how could I be afraid?"
Chen Shuo pretended to be tough, but his heart was racing.
Although it wasn't the first time he had been teased like this by Su Xiyan, how could Chen Shuo control himself when faced with such a beauty?
Combined with Su Xiyan's unique aura of a mature woman, Chen Shuo instinctively wanted to fall at her feet.
"Really? If you're not scared, why are you backing away?" Su Xiyan sneered, pressing her attack even further.
Under Su Xiyan's relentless assault, Chen Shuo finally surrendered.
He knew his parents were still there. Wouldn't it be too shocking if they did something inappropriate right now?
And how would he explain it to them?
His mother was relatively easy to talk to, as she was a more open-minded parent.
But Chen's father was different - he was the complete opposite of his mother Xu Mei in terms of personality.
He was more rigid and traditional. If he saw the two of them being intimate, then...
Chen Shuo didn't dare imagine what would happen. He couldn't even picture it.
"I'm not backing away. Stop fooling around. Let's think about where we're going to sleep tonight instead."
Chen Shuo didn't dare continue that topic and quickly changed the subject. This was also something they needed to address urgently, otherwise they wouldn't even have a place to stay for the night.
"What do you mean?" Su Xiyan was somewhat confused.
Chen Shuo didn't respond directly, but pointed to the location of his room: "It was supposed to be ours, but now it's been forcibly occupied."
Su Xiyan finally understood Chen Shuo's meaning. There were only two rooms in Chen Shuo's home - one for his parents, and now the female vampire had taken over the other one.
This meant that if they were to stay in this house, they'd have to sleep either on the floor or on the couch.
"Ah? What should we do then?"
Su Xiyan also felt a headache coming on. This was very different from what she had originally imagined.
She had planned to take advantage of this day to launch a fierce "attack" on Chen Shuo.
Even if it wasn't the "all the way" her friend had mentioned, it should at least be stronger than last time.
But now the female vampire had stolen the room, causing all her plans to fall through.
Chen Shuo shrugged helplessly: "See? Didn't we just bring trouble back for ourselves? If we had known it would be like this, we shouldn't have brought her back at all."
Su Xiyan didn't quite agree with Chen Shuo's view: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!"
Chen Shuo joked: "So you know it's about saving a life? Is she even human? No, she's a vampire!"
"Oh you, are you still hung up on that?" Su Xiyan asked with a laugh. Seeing Chen Shuo's unhappy expression, she couldn't help but find it amusing.
"What else can I do? I can't even find a place to stay in my own home, how can I smile about that?" Chen Shuo pouted, unable to express his frustration.
"Alright, we can just stay somewhere else if we have to. There are hotels and inns nearby, aren't there?"
Su Xiyan comforted him. Since they had rescued this female vampire, they naturally had to make proper arrangements for her.
Of course, Su Xiyan was considering another aspect as well.
They had been in contact with the female vampire for some time now, and although she hadn't really shown her true power in front of Su Xiyan, her strength was certainly not low.
Compared to Zhang Chuan, she was even more formidable.
While she might not be at the level of a Demon King, she was at least above the half-step Demon King realm.
Having such a person by their side meant having one more source of support. Although Su City was safe for now, Su Xiyan couldn't shake an uneasy feeling in her heart for some reason.
She always had a premonition that another crisis would occur, and that this crisis would be unprecedented.
So in preparation for this crisis, she had to make arrangements early.
Perhaps Chen Shuo could handle things on his own, but if she could provide even a little assistance on his path forward, that would be the best outcome.
"Sigh, I guess that's all we can do."
After thinking it over, Chen Shuo couldn't come up with any better ideas. Since the female vampire liked his room so much, they could only let her have it.
Guests should be treated with courtesy, and Chen Shuo at least understood this basic etiquette.
Soon, it was time for dinner.
Xu Mei actively called Chen Shuo and the others to the table. When they sat down, everyone couldn't help but swallow at the sight of the sumptuous meal laid out before them.
No one had expected that Chen's father could prepare so many delicious dishes.
Tofu soup with tender meat, di san xian (stir-fried potato, eggplant and pepper), couple's lung slices, willow leaf chicken, Dongpo pork knuckle - at a glance, they were all impressive dishes, and each one was a specialty in its own right.
This was something Chen Shuo had never experienced in his more than twenty years as a son. The few times he had eaten his father's cooking, it was at most just the sweet and sour pork ribs.
As for other dishes, there were usually just one or two meat and vegetable dishes at most. Today, Chen's father had really showcased his skills.
Each dish was not only visually appealing and aromatic, but the fragrant smell made everyone's mouths water before they had even tasted a bite.
"Come, come, make some room. Let everyone see my signature dish, sweet and sour pork ribs."
At Chen's father's call, a large plate of sweet and sour pork ribs was placed on the table.
The sweet and sour pork ribs looked like some sauce-coated ribs stir-fried with green and red chili flakes, but that wasn't the case. Every step of the process required attention to detail.
Whether it was the initial marinating or the later seasoning, each step needed to be slowly baked.
This required extreme patience, and the biggest difference between Chen's father and others who made this dish was that...
He wouldn't use any hextech technology, following the most traditional methods for each step, ensuring an absolute reproduction of the flavor.
Perhaps it was this serious attitude of Chen's father that gave him such a natural talent for cooking.
When all the dishes were ready, everyone took their seats.
Chen Shuo skillfully picked up a bowl to serve rice, first filling a bowl for Su Xiyan. Just as he was about to hand it to her, Su Xiyan quickly gave him a meaningful look.
Perhaps due to their daily living habits, Chen Shuo always served Su Xiyan rice first, and this had become a habit.
Now with the elders present, Chen Shuo directly handing the bowl of rice to Su Xiyan made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
Su Xiyan hurriedly pushed the rice in front of Chen's father, and quickly explained: "Uncle, Auntie, what you just saw was a misunderstanding. Actually, I'm usually the one who serves rice for Chen Shuo. I..."
Hearing Su Xiyan say this, Chen Shuo finally understood why she had such a big reaction. It turned out she wanted to make a good impression on his parents, and also wanted to save face for him in front of them.
However, some things become more problematic the more you try to explain them.
The more Su Xiyan spoke, the more she felt something was off. When she looked at everyone again, she realized she had made a mistake.
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.
