It was Friday again, and classes were more relaxed. Su Xiyan was already in her third year of university, and there was no need to take attendance for the elective course in the afternoon, so she did not go.
Chen Shuo was still a freshman. He did not miss a single class, almost a model student in the eyes of the teachers.
With Chen Shuo not at home, Su Xiyan enjoyed the afternoon alone.
After the autumn weather rolled in, the autumn breeze was cooling, bringing the cool air from the north.
Su Xiyan wore a long, loose-fitting home outfit. The oversized shirt and pants could not conceal her naturally good figure.
At this moment, she was lying on the sofa, holding a tablet and reading the messages in the Su City Demon Hunter Group.
All the members of the Su City Demon Hunter Organization knew that a vampire at the Demon King level had appeared in Su City. However, a vampire that reached the Demon King realm was very good at hiding itself. If it did not use any vampire abilities, there was no way to detect it.
There had been several brief detections, but there was no way to instantly track its precise location.
With the appearance of the Demon King, the atmosphere within the Su City Demon Hunter Organization became unprecedentedly tense.
Su Xiyan held a cup of coffee, half-lying against a sofa pillow, and took a sip of coffee with a clear gaze.
Compared to ordinary demon hunters, Su Xiyan had her own worries, and that was Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo had now completely become a traitor among the vampires. She wondered if the vampires would clean house.
Could this newbie Chen Shuo withstand it?
Su Xiyan put down her coffee and sighed softly.
She suddenly felt that she now had someone she cared about.
Not like before, when she did nothing without worry for the consequences.
Having a soft spot, she was afraid she would encounter unprecedented difficulties in the future.
Su Xiyan did not continue looking at the chat in the group. She threw her tablet aside and looked thoughtfully at the gradually yellowing leaves outside the window.
Just then, her phone rang.
It was a phone call from her best friend, Cheng Xinran.
As soon as the call connected, Cheng Xinran’s rather excited voice with anticipation immediately came over:
“Xiyan, Xiyan, how is it going?"
Su Xiyan: “How’s what going?"
Cheng Xinran spoke excitedly: “Ah, I mean after you read my flirting secrets, did you get any results?"
“Has that cute and silly brother of yours fallen for you?”
Su Xiyan was speechless: “...You still have the nerve to mention your flirting secrets?”
Cheng Xinran was very surprised: “What’s wrong?”
“Could it be that my flirting secrets had no effect on Chen Shuo?”
Su Xiyan hmmmed.
Cheng Xinran did not understand why her flirting secrets, which had never failed before, did not work on Chen Shuo.
But since she had eaten the delicious food treated by Su Xiyan, and wanting to fulfill her responsibilities as a good friend, Cheng Xinran decided to personally be a wingman.
In the evening, Chen Shuo came back with a large bag of fruits and groceries bought from the supermarket.
"Whew, so heavy!"
After changing his shoes, Chen Shuo put the fully packed shopping bags on the table and gave a long sigh of relief.
Su Xiyan was sitting elegantly on the sofa, crossing her slender legs and reading a book.
"Why did you buy so much stuff?"
Chen Shuo gave Su Xiyan a look: "You can tell you're a woman who doesn't know how to run a household."
"There was a big sale at the supermarket today!"
"For foodstuffs that can be stored in the refrigerator, I bought them to store away. Furthermore, I bought some daily necessities to stock up since we'll be using them anyway. Of course, I checked the expiry dates beforehand so I didn't get anything close to expiring."
Looking at the things he bought, Chen Shuo was quite proud.
After changing into more comfortable clothes at home, Chen Shuo started putting the things from the shopping bags away neatly by category.
The doorbell rang. Chen Shuo was in the kitchen and called out for Su Xiyan: "Someone's at the door, go get it."
Su Xiyan's voice came from the bathroom: "You go."
Turned out she was on the toilet. No wonder nobody went to open the door even when the bell had rung several times.
Ever since Chen Shuo moved in with Su Xiyan, the two were not as estranged as they used to be, and behaved more like an old married couple.
After washing his hands clean and drying them on his apron, Chen Shuo went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened slightly, a figure pushed open the rest of the door and entered as though it was her own home.
What came into Chen Shuo's view was a furry hairline.
Turned out it was Su Xiyan's best friend - Cheng Xinran.
With a height of just slightly over 1.5 meters, there was no way for her to show anything other than the top of her head in front of the 1.8m tall Chen Shuo.
Cheng Xinran would dress up cutely like a little loli in her daily outfits, with her hair permed into little curls. Her round chubby face made her look quite adorable.
Once the door opened, Cheng Xinran squeezed in as though she was a drilling bit.
Chen Shuo did not dislike Cheng Xinran. After all, she was Su Xiyan's best friend and had helped her out often, especially when it came to keeping Chen Shuo's vampire identity a secret.
"Looking for Su Xiyan right? She's..."
Before Chen Shuo finished his sentence, Cheng Xinran had already glanced around and stretched her neck to peek into Su Xiyan's bedroom.
"Xiyan's not at home, right?"
"That's even better!"
Chen Shuo: ???
What was she up to?
Cheng Xinran pulled Chen Shuo aside and muttered nervously: "Since Xiyan's not at home, I can speak at ease!"
Chen Shuo looked in the direction of the bathroom but Su Xiyan did not make any sound from there.
Chen Shuo understood Su Xiyan's intentions and deliberately drew Cheng Xinran out: "What do you want to say that you can't let Su Xiyan hear?"
Cheng Xinran whispered sneakily: "You know Xiyan's personality. She's stubborn and often says one thing but means another."
"So there's something I want to remind you about."
Chen Shuo asked:
"What is it?"
Cheng Xinran took out her phone and showed Chen Shuo a date marked on her calendar app: "October 16th is Xiyan's birthday!"
Chen Shuo was dumbfounded: "So what if it's her birthday?"
Cheng Xinran looked as if she was hating his guts for not getting it: "Chen Shuo! You really are a dense straight man!"
"I'm not telling you Xiyan's birthday for you to get all shocked. I'm telling you so you can prepare a gift for her!"
"What girl wouldn't love a nice surprise gift?"
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.
