Chen Shuo also did not deny it. He thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if the ghost king you mentioned is me or not. After all, I'm not the only vampire in Suzhou City."
"However, you're right that I have indeed reached the Ghost King realm."
"Maybe in a while, I'll even break through to the Ghost Saint realm."
As Chen Shuo was saying this, he took out a tissue and wiped his mouth with satisfaction.
The skinny vampire was so shocked that his mouth hung open, making croaking noises in his throat.
After a long time, the originally somewhat despondent him suddenly clenched his fists again. His tone was extremely firm: "No matter what realm you're at, you killed Tang Ya. I will avenge her!"
"Even if it means death, I'm willing to go all out!!"
Judging from his tone and behavior, this scrawny vampire was probably in love with that female vampire Tang Ya.
What a pity. That female vampire seemed to have taken a liking to me?? Chen Shuo thought. Or maybe I'm just too narcissistic.
After all, with a girl like Su Xiyan by my side, Chen Shuo felt that his charm had increased a lot. Maybe that female vampire was attracted to his handsome looks - that's not impossible.
Chen Shuo didn't want to waste time chatting with him anymore: "You want revenge right? Why don't you make a move?"
The skinny vampire made a hissing sound. His true form was exposed, his hideous face carried a rancid stench as he attacked Chen Shuo.
At this moment, Su Xiyan, who was wandering the streets attracted by the vampire's aura trying to find vampires, suddenly sensed something was wrong!
This vampire seemed to know that Su Xiyan wouldn't dare use her demon hunter skills with so many people on the street.
So he deliberately led Su Xiyan around the crowded street food area. When he saw Su Xiyan get blocked by the crowd and couldn't keep up, he would purposely slow down his pace to prevent her from losing track of him.
Damn it! I fell into his trap!!
Su Xiyan remembered Chen Shuo who was still waiting for her at the barbecue stall. She immediately realized what was going on.
The vampire's target this time was Chen Shuo!!
He lured Su Xiyan away, who knows what he planned to do to Chen Shuo?
Chen Shuo was just a rookie low-rank vampire, he posed no threat.
Could it be that the vampire organization already knew about Chen Shuo cooperating with the demon hunters? So they wanted to eliminate this internal threat?
Chen Shuo was in danger!!!
Su Xiyan no longer cared about the vampire in front of her. She hurried towards the barbecue stall as fast as she could.
She still had some distance from the barbecue stall. Su Xiyan only wanted Chen Shuo to be safe and sound. She paid no heed to anything else, and strode forward swiftly like the wind.
Chen Shuo! Hold on! I'm coming to save you!
While Su Xiyan was rushing over desperately, Chen Shuo was about to take out the vampire in front of him with one move.
He was originally thinking of stalling for time with his glib tongue, to let Su Xiyan come and deal with the vampire!
That way, Su Xiyan could also earn some credit.
Although the credit from this weak vampire wasn't much, every bit counted.
The sooner Su Xiyan could be promoted to the Legendary realm demon hunter, the sooner Chen Shuo could reverse his bloodline and become human again.
But this vampire seemed to be in a hurry to die.
He knew his strength was like an ant before the mighty Chen Shuo, yet like a moth to flame, he still sought death.
Since that was the case, let me send you on your way!
After all, this vampire, who looked like a scrawny monkey, also seemed eager to reunite with that female vampire!
Within the barrier, the skinny vampire exerted all his strength. His hands morphed into blades that slashed towards Chen Shuo, carrying an icy, bloody wind!
Such a weakling, Chen Shuo didn't even bother glancing at him.
Chen Shuo picked up a used barbecue skewer. With a flick of his finger, the skewer let out a whistle as it shot towards the skinny vampire.
In an instant, the previously aggressive skinny vampire began to shatter into black smoke starting from his blade-like arms, dissipating into the air.
His expression was complicated! Mostly disbelief!
So this was the formidable power of the Ghost King realm?
Right until the moment he dissipated into black smoke, the only thought in the skinny vampire's mind was - How Terrifying!
Chen Shuo was still casually sitting at the table. The plates on the table were almost empty after he finished eating most of the skewers.
He was not satisfied yet, he would need a few more skewers.
With a turn of his palm, the barrier disappeared.
Everything around him was still the same, brimming with a down-to-earth local flair.
"Boss, give me 5 more lamb skewers. And more of those chicken giblets and grilled eggplants too." Chen Shuo waved at the barbecue stand owner.
The boss nodded repeatedly: "Coming right up!!"
Soon, the sizzling hot skewers were brought up.
Just as Chen Shuo was about to eat, two long, beautiful legs suddenly appeared by his table.
As white and smooth as gentle jade, it made one want to reach out and caress them.
Although right now, Chen Shuo didn't dare to, because the owner of these beautiful legs was too fierce.
Su Xiyan ran till she was panting heavily. Her hurried breathing made her chest heave up and down like waves.
She had no time to wipe the beads of fragrant sweat on her forehead. Still gasping for breath, she leaned on the table with both hands and anxiously asked:
"Chen Shuo! Are you alright?!"
Chen Shuo ate the grilled lamb skewer while looking at her puzzled: "Hmm?"
"Of course I'm fine!"
"Why are you asking such a strange question?"
Su Xiyan still felt uneasy. She looked him up and down to confirm that Chen Shuo was really unharmed.
But something was wrong here!
Just now, that vampire had clearly lured her in circles deliberately.
What was his aim in doing so?
One must know, Su Xiyan was currently the highest realm demon hunter in Suzhou City. The slightest carelessness that allowed Su Xiyan to catch him, and the vampire would be doomed!
Taking the risk of being hunted down by Su Xiyan, just to tease her??
That made no sense at all.
The only reason Su Xiyan could think of for the vampire behaving that way, was that he wanted to lure her away, then take the chance to attack Chen Shuo, the "traitor" of the vampire race, and eliminate this internal threat.
But now, Chen Shuo was leisurely sitting there eating skewers, looking no different than before Su Xiyan left to buy the iron plate tofu.
Seeing everything in front of her, Su Xiyan felt something was off, but couldn't put her finger on it.
Chen Shuo looked at Su Xiyan puzzled: "Where's the iron plate tofu?"
Only then did Su Xiyan remember that in her hurry to chase the vampire, the takeaway box of iron plate tofu she was holding had been thrown somewhere.
"Well...it's a long story, I'll tell you the details when we get home!"
Just then, the barbecue stand owner came over with the grilled eggplants and saw the gorgeously beautiful Su Xiyan. He asked Chen Shuo:
"Eh? Where did that deranged relative of yours go? He's not here anymore? Where did he run off to?"

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
