“Big sister is so pretty!”
“Can I buy a flower to give to the pretty big sister?”
The little girl looked at Chen Shuo expectantly, the rose in her hand vibrant and plump.
Su Xiyan seemed to be angry, although Chen Shuo didn’t know why she was angry. But giving her a flower should be the right thing to do, right?
So Chen Shuo took out his phone to scan and pay: “Payment completed!”
The little girl picked the most beautiful rose and handed it to Chen Shuo, her cute face full of innocent smiles: “Thank you, uncle!”
Chen Shuo: “??? Uncle???”
“You call me uncle?”
“And call her big sister?”
The little girl blinked her clear, bright eyes. Her chubby little face made Chen Shuo unable to continue.
“Why are you arguing with a little girl?” Su Xiyan protected the little girl.
Fortunately, the elevator arrived just then. Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan got on.
The little girl still didn't realize there was anything wrong with how she addressed them. She only knew the uncle before her was handsome and the big sister was pretty!
As the elevator door slowly closed, the little girl waved goodbye. Her voice was sweet: “Bye bye, big sister! Bye bye, uncle!”
Chen Shuo: !!!
w(゚Д゚)w
If the elevator door hadn't closed, Chen Shuo really wanted to give the little girl a good lesson on proper forms of address, then make her do every exercise from elementary to high school on the topic!
Let her know what real suffering in this world is!
What was even more infuriating was that he was clearly two years younger than Su Xiyan!
How did he become an uncle??
Seeing the frustrated Chen Shuo, Su Xiyan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Alright, alright! You're a grown up, don't be petty with a child.”
The elevator walls were mirrors.
Chen Shuo saw Su Xiyan's smiling reflection like flowers blooming, she seemed to rarely laugh so openly.
Turns out even the ice queen can look quite beautiful when she laughs!
Just like a snow lotus blooming on the perennial glacier, making people only dare admire from afar, not daring to pick.
But didn’t she just get angry a second ago?
So confusing!
Su Xiyan’s gaze lingered on the rose in Chen Shuo's hand. She teased: “Didn’t that kid just ask uncle to buy a flower for big sister?”
After speaking, Su Xiyan’s slender jade-like hand reached out towards Chen Shuo.
Her fair palm had clear lines.
Chen Shuo gave Su Xiyan the rose: “What girl asks people for flowers like that? You’re so shameless!”
Su Xiyan took the rose and sniffed it under her nose. Her mood brightened considerably.
Just after they walked out of the elevator, Su Xiyan regretted it again: “It’s still a bit early to go home now isn't it? I haven’t bought skin care products yet!”
“Let’s walk around some more.”
Chen Shuo: “??? Weren’t you the one who said you didn’t want to shop anymore and wanted to go home?”
It seemed her mood to keep shopping was closely tied to her mood.
If he had known, he wouldn't have given her the rose!
Now her mood was up again to keep shopping.
Chen Shuo sat down on a bench next to the elevator, putting down the bags he was holding: “I’ll wait here, go shop yourself if you want!”
“Also, I'm onto your scam now!”
Su Xiyan asked back: “What scam of mine?”
Chen Shuo replied: “You told me, since the mall is crowded with lots of shoppers, we might run into a vampire. You can hunt vampires to earn points and work towards becoming a Legendary Demon Hunter sooner. Then you can help reverse my bloodline and turn me back into a human.”
“But now we've been here half a day and there's not a shadow of a vampire anywhere.”
“Plus with so many people around, even if we did see one, you wouldn't have a chance to hunt it.”
“I’ve seen through your schemes!!”
Su Xiyan nodded slightly: “You make a lot of sense, your analysis is very reasonable.”
“But that's still not an excuse for you to refuse accompanying me shopping.”
Chen Shuo wanted to retort, but he shut his mouth and sighed deeply instead.
The light in his eyes also disappeared.
After a moment of silence, Chen Shuo’s tone became dispirited: “Fine, whatever you say.”
He seemed angry? Su Xiyan was stunned in place.
Chen Shuo had always been very positive no matter what happened. He was brimming with youthful spirit, hopeful about everything.
But now the vigorous youth seemed to wilt like an eggplant frosted over, all his energy gone.
Su Xiyan felt Chen Shuo’s negative emotions. She felt she had been overdoing it lately, but of course she would not admit she was wrong, at least not now!
“Since you’re tired, let’s just go home.”
Chen Shuo didn't speak. He carried Su Xiyan’s shopping bags and walked in front.
Su Xiyan followed behind, gazing at Chen Shuo’s slightly dejected silhouette. She bit her lips lightly as if making an important decision.
But in the end, she still didn’t say what she wanted to.
On the way home, Chen Shuo drove while Su Xiyan sat in the passenger seat. The back seat was full of Su Xiyan’s purchases from today.
The whole ride, Chen Shuo didn’t say a word or even glance at Su Xiyan once.
This was an unprecedented situation. As Su Xiyan looked at Chen Shuo’s sharp side profile, she felt conflicted inside.
She wondered if after Chen Shuo reversed his bloodline and became human again, would he still stay by her side?
Su Xiyan didn’t even know what Chen Shuo’s position was in her heart, or where she should place him.
But she knew this was a feeling she never had before. She had already gotten used to living like this.
Su Xiyan tightly clenched her fist, psyching herself up. She thought, after the Kendo Club’s friendly match ended, she should make things clear with Chen Shuo.
A big sister needed to have the resolve of a big sister. If she had something to say, she should just come out and say it instead of hem and haw like a little girl.
It was decided!!
After getting home, Chen Shuo lay in bed playing on his phone.
He felt somewhat dejected, like suddenly losing sight of hope.
Although Su Xiyan was very strong, one of the top Golden Demon Hunters in Su City, she still had a long way to go before becoming a Legendary Demon Hunter.
And recently Su Xiyan had been acting weird, temperamental.
Chen Shuo wasn’t a saint. He also had moments of weariness.
Luckily, he always rebounded quickly.
Plus there was the system’s support. For now being a vampire didn’t cause him too much trouble.
He also didn’t understand why he had to keep staying with Su Xiyan.
Just for a seemingly elusive hope?
Oh well, he didn’t want to think about it. Best cure for problems was sleep!
Just as he was about to take a nap, Chen Shuo heard the sound of the front door opening and closing. That must have been Su Xiyan going out.
Chen Shuo didn’t think too much of it. As he kept scrolling and watching videos on his phone, he soon fell into deep sleep.
When he woke up, the sky was already dark.
Chen Shuo reached for his phone and squinted to see the time - it was past 8 PM already.
There were no lights on outside and it was perfectly quiet.
Hadn’t Su Xiyan gone out in the afternoon? How come she still wasn’t back?
Chen Shuo rubbed his somewhat painful head. Sleeping too much made his head feel groggy.
Slipping on his slippers, Chen Shuo turned on the lights in his room and the living room.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Strange, visitors?
Su Xiyan should be able to unlock the door with her fingerprint if she came back!
Chen Shuo walked to the door: “Who is it?”
He had just opened the door and before he could finish speaking, something soft collapsed weakly into Chen Shuo’s arms.
It was Su Xiyan.

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.
