As expected, after Chen Shuo's barrage of flattery and boasting, Su Xiyan ignored the strangeness of tonight. Lifting her sharp little chin, Su Xiyan glanced at Chen Shuo:
"Thanks, but forget it. Just remember you owe me another life."
To make Su Xiyan firmly believe he was just a little vampire and keep avoiding suspicion, Chen Shuo proposed:
"I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"
Su Xiyan hmm'd, signaling for Chen Shuo to continue.
Chen Shuo suggested: "Since I've already become a traitor among the vampires, they'll definitely want to deal with me."
"Why don't I act as bait to attract some vampires coming to dispose of me?"
"Then you can hunt those vampires. What do you think?"
"We planned to cooperate like this before. After tonight, I think we can implement our plan even better."
"I'm so looking forward to you quickly advancing to become a legendary vampire hunter!"
Everything Chen Shuo said was true.
No matter how powerful the Vampire King was, he was still just a vampire.
Chen Shuo didn't want to be a vampire or the Vampire King, he just wanted to be an ordinary human.
Chen Shuo's proposal also had no issues, but was rejected by Su Xiyan:
"Let's talk about this plan later!"
Chen Shuo was full of questions: "Why? Didn't we agree before? Now there's such a good opportunity right in front of us, and you can quickly break through to become a legendary vampire hunter. Isn't that the realm you've always wanted to reach?"
"Why don't you want to take such a good opportunity?"
Just then they were at a red light and Su Xiyan stopped the car to wait. She turned her head and looked at Chen Shuo very seriously with her clear eyes. After a while, she answered word for word: "I don't want you to take risks."
At that moment, Chen Shuo didn't know how to respond to Su Xiyan.
Turns out Su Xiyan really cared about Chen Shuo in her heart. She was even willing to give up such a good opportunity to break through and become a legendary vampire hunter, just because she didn't want Chen Shuo to be in danger.
But what would she think if she knew Chen Shuo was the Vampire King?
After that night at the snack street, the relationship between Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan had become much closer.
Their daily interactions were no longer bickering like before.
More often, there was small warmth and tacit understanding.
Both maintained their own thoughts, neither delving too deep, and their interactions in daily life contained some tacit approval.
Su Xiyan also proactively took on some of the housework. Living together, all the chores were no longer monopolized by Chen Shuo. They truly cooperated like partners, each bearing the trivial details of life.
In fact, most of the time, their situation was like a cohabiting couple.
After one cool autumn breeze, the summer heat finally retreated, taking its tail with it.
Every day Su Xiyan held her phone, checking the weather forecast for the next few days.
Finally, the day of the cool down arrived!
Her phone indicated today was cloudy, with a northwest wind picking up and the temperature finally dropping below 20 degrees, only the teens.
Early in the morning, Su Xiyan was busy in the kitchen, making breakfast for them both.
Su Xiyan had always been quite an independent girl, not someone sheltered under her parents' wings like a greenhouse flower.
So her cooking skills were actually pretty good, she just hid her skills. If Chen Shuo knew she could cook, he would definitely try to get Su Xiyan to cook and prepare meals.
But today, she actually made quite a few breakfast items in the kitchen.
"Shepherd's purse dumplings, egg and pork sausages with rice noodles, and mixed grain soy milk."
Su Xiyan wore autumn home clothes, covering her slender legs. At her slender waist, she tied a cartoon apron.
Her tiny waist was barely a handful. Despite the loose home clothes, they still couldn't conceal her exquisite figure.
Chen Shuo rubbed his eyes, unable to believe the sight before him: "Don't tell me you made all this breakfast yourself?"
"Should be store-bought half-finished products, right?"
Su Xiyan didn't bother responding to Chen Shuo. Anyway today she was in a good mood, she didn't care about his mockery.
Wearing light slippers, Su Xiyan went to the fridge and took out some yogurt.
She had a daily habit of drinking yogurt, to keep her digestion smooth and reduce intestinal burden.
Her slender waist also needed attention paid to diet to maintain.
After Chen Shuo washed up and started eating breakfast, the shepherd's purse dumplings melted in his mouth. The skin was thin and the filling was substantial, the meat quite fresh.
His many years of cooking experience told Chen Shuo this was definitely freshly wrapped and cooked, not the frozen store-bought kind.
Su Xiyan actually wrapped the dumplings herself? She didn't seem like such a patient person!
Chen Shuo's first reaction: something's not right!
But he didn't ask directly. He decided to first observe Su Xiyan's expression and behavior before guessing what exactly she was up to.
Su Xiyan untied her apron and sat down to eat breakfast.
After drinking a mouthful of yogurt, Su Xiyan looked at Chen Shuo with laughter in her eyes: "The weather report said it cooled down today."
Chen Shuo nodded: "Yeah, it did! Suzhou's weather has been a bit abnormal this year."
"Summer is finally over. It felt a little cool when I got up this morning!"
Su Xiyan looked at Chen Shuo still wearing short sleeves: "Aren't you cold?"
Chen Shuo was very puzzled: "Not cold at all! It's still fifteen degrees! How is that cold?"
Su Xiyan had no choice but to remind Chen Shuo: "Fifteen degrees, you should wear long sleeves. You're still in short sleeves, you may not feel cold but your classmates will feel cold just looking at you."
Chen Shuo thought about it and realized Su Xiyan was right. She was actually so thoughtful? Knowing the temperature dropped so she reminded Chen Shuo to change into autumn clothes?
She didn't seem like such a thoughtful person!
Chen Shuo ate breakfast relatively quickly, wolfing it down in no time.
He rubbed his slightly cool arms: "It does seem a little cool, I'll listen to you and go change into long sleeves!"
Su Xiyan's eyes immediately lit up with anticipation: "Great, go change quickly! Don't let yourself get cold."
Chen Shuo put down his chopsticks and went back to his room, changing into a long sleeve tracksuit.
When Chen Shuo appeared before Su Xiyan wearing the tracksuit, the hopeful gleam in Su Xiyan's eyes instantly dimmed.
She examined Chen Shuo, her tone barbed: "That doesn't look good, too ugly. Go change into something else!"
Chen Shuo rolled his eyes: "I think it looks fine! Besides, you're not my girlfriend, why do you care what I wear?"
"I didn't bring any other clothes when I started school, everything I have is short sleeves. I haven't had time to buy long sleeves yet!"
"Let's just go with this, it's pretty comfortable."
Su Xiyan's eyebrows raised slightly. If you refuse a toast, you must drink a forfeit!
Passing by Chen Shuo, the soy milk in Su Xiyan's hand slipped, spilling all over Chen Shuo.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
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.
