Cheng Xinran leapt up like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. Her already very round eyes stared wide and round, and her voice went up several degrees.
"What?!"
"Did I hear that right??"
"A guy?!"
Cheng Xinran's shrieks and exaggerated body language startled all the passersby around them.
Su Xiyan didn't want to become the focus of public attention because of this explosive topic, so she hurriedly pulled Cheng Xinran into the car.
"Xiyan, you're not joking with me, are you? You're living with a guy?"
The next second, Cheng Xinran seemed to react a little: "This guy you're talking about wouldn't happen to be your male assistant Chen Shuo, would it?"
Su Xiyan nodded: "It's him."
Cheng Xinran had a sudden realization: "I knew it. That's why you suddenly asked me last time to hack into the Nanli University dorm management system and get Chen Shuo's paperwork for off-campus housing approved."
"So you wanted Chen Shuo to live with you?"
"Xiyan, you're not..."
Su Xiyan's red lips curled up in a cold smile: "What are you thinking in that little head of yours? How could I possibly be interested in him?"
Cheng Xinran: "Then why did you let him move into your home??"
Su Xiyan: "Just think of him as a live-in housekeeper."
Cheng Xinran was unrelenting: "Something's not right! You're such a clean freak. How could you let a guy you barely know move into your home?"
Su Xiyan chuckled lightly: "Don't forget, women are naturally attracted to strength. I told you before, only very capable men would attract me."
Recalling Chen Shuo's weak little puppy appearance, Cheng Xinran felt that what Su Xiyan said made a lot of sense.
As if afraid that Cheng Xinran wouldn't believe her, Su Xiyan continued explaining:
"Actually, there's another reason why I'm keeping Chen Shuo around."
Cheng Xinran blinked her big eyes and asked: "What reason is that? Good looking? Nice to look at?"
Su Xiyan glared at her.
Cheng Xinran quickly shut her mouth, thinking she had said something wrong.
Su Xiyan went on: "All demon hunters know that vampires' favorite thing is the blood of boys and girls. To them, it's an extremely sweet and delicious treat that few vampires can resist."
"A freshman like Chen Shuo, young, athletic, sunny, full of vibrant vitality. If you were a vampire, wouldn't you like blood like that?"
Cheng Xinran thought about it and nodded: "I would!"
"If it were a female vampire, she'd definitely like it even more. After all, it's got the full package of color, fragrance and taste!"
Having said that, Cheng Xinran even snickered.
Su Xiyan shot her a glare.
Cheng Xinran quickly closed her mouth, thinking she had said something wrong again.
Su Xiyan continued: "The vampires in Su City have also learned to conceal themselves now. Rather than go through the trouble of searching for them, why not just set up some fresh bait to lure them out themselves?"
Cheng Xinran suddenly understood: "Oh right! That's such a good idea, why didn't I think of that?"
"Oh no, I don't have the chance to find fresh bait like Chen Shuo!"
Using a matter-of-fact tone, Su Xiyan gave the most unconvincing excuse.
Yet Cheng Xinran believed it anyway, because she was Su Xiyan's best friend!
Cheng Xinran still didn't know that Chen Shuo was just a low-level vampire who had neglected leveling up. If she knew, this big mouth would probably let the whole demon hunting circle in Su City know that the newly promoted golden first-class demon hunter Su Xiyan was keeping a little vampire by her side.
After weighing things up, Su Xiyan still didn't tell her best friend Chen Shuo's true identity.
After sending Cheng Xinran home, Su Xiyan drove towards Haiyi Apartment while pondering some recent events.
When the Su City demon hunting system detected strong vampire energy, Chen Shuo happened to be within the detection range.
In addition there was last night's incident. One thing could be considered a coincidence, but two things in a row?
But Chen Shuo's level was just that of a rookie vampire who had neglected leveling up. There was no way to link him with powerful vampires.
This was too contradictory.
She couldn't figure it out and it didn't make sense, yet she still felt something was off.
It was as if strange things had started happening one after another since Chen Shuo appeared.
Su Xiyan's instincts had never been wrong before.
Better to be cautious. She would "interrogate" him properly when she got back!
Halfway there, Su Xiyan received a call from Chen Shuo: "What do you want for lunch? I'm buying groceries."
Su Xiyan thought for a moment before saying: "Anything is fine! Just don't let the flavor be too stimulating."
Chen Shuo deliberately teased her: "Stimulating? How stimulating?"
Su Xiyan: "Why not just have little vampire for lunch! Preferably a low-level one, easy to take down without much resistance, less trouble."
That'll teach you to be cheeky.
Chen Shuo didn't dare continue his verbal antics and obediently went to buy vegetables after hanging up.
Anyway, it was Su Xiyan's money, so Chen Shuo deliberately chose expensive ingredients.
Before long, he came out of the supermarket with bags big and small.
Seeing the bustling crowd at the supermarket entrance, Chen Shuo couldn't help swallowing.
His teeth also seemed to itch a little, as if fangs were about to come out.
Damn, he got up too late today and forgot to summon the system for his body enhancement fluid.
Vampires took blood as food, just like humans eating meals. After a period of time without feeding on blood, vampires would show symptoms like physical weakness.
After being forced to become a vampire, Chen Shuo still hadn't fed on blood before.
But he had the system! As long as he drank a bottle of the system's body enhancement fluid regularly, he'd be fine.
The pedestrians walked back and forth in front of Chen Shuo, like dishes laid out before him.
Luckily the symptoms weren't too serious this time. He could summon the system for enhancement fluid when he got home.
With this thought, Chen Shuo picked up the grocery bags and quickened his pace.
He hadn't gone far when Chen Shuo suddenly felt a chill down his back. He couldn't help shivering.
Glancing back, he saw Su Xiyan's white AMG somehow following silently behind him. With the sound turned off, the AMG glided smoothly and noiselessly on the flat road.
Su Xiyan signaled for Chen Shuo to get in the car.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Chen Shuo couldn't help but quip:
"I think you're the vampire here. So stealthy."
Su Xiyan drove on, her beautiful black gemstone eyes gazing into the distance ahead. She seemed to ask casually: "What ingredients did you buy?"
Chen Shuo's eyes flicked to the professionally dressed Su Xiyan. Her already rather short wrap skirt looked even shorter now due to the way she sat to drive.
Her fair, slender legs were wrapped in black stockings, the lines perfect beyond reproach.
But Chen Shuo didn't have the mind to appreciate these. To him, Su Xiyan's long legs were just good spots to suck blood from.
Su Xiyan was also aware of the change in Chen Shuo's gaze. She asked coldly: "I'm talking to you! What are you ogling at??"
