Chen Shuo hmm-ed: “Hmm? What’s wrong?”
“Did I step on your foot?”
Su Xiyan had been brewing her emotions for a long time, but was interrupted by Chen Shuo. She almost wanted to stomp on Chen Shuo’s foot right away!
With so many people around, Su Xiyan could only suppress her urge to kill Chen Shuo for the time being. She patiently asked: “Chen Shuo, I asked you before - after reversing your vampire bloodline to become a normal human, what are your plans?”
Chen Shuo: “Huh? Didn’t I answer you already?”
Su Xiyan lightly shook her head: “That was your previous answer. Now, I want to hear you answer again.”
Chen Shuo thought for a while and said: “There’s not much difference from before! However, for my future plans, there is one more person now.”
Hearing this, Su Xiyan’s heart raced violently. She tried her best to keep her voice calm to conceal the waves in her heart: “One more person? Who is it?”
After asking, Su Xiyan was full of anticipation. Was Chen Shuo going to confess to her?
In the dance hall with so many people, how should she respond appropriately?
In just one second, countless thoughts ran through Su Xiyan's mind.
Chen Shuo deliberately pretended to think hard for a while, then the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly grin: “I won’t tell you now.”
Su Xiyan: “...”
What was she getting so excited for? Chen Shuo didn't even intend to confess at all!
Seemingly aware of Su Xiyan’s disappointment, Chen Shuo continued: “I’ll tell you in a few days! Important things should be said at important times and places to be more meaningful.”
Su Xiyan carefully analyzed every word Chen Shuo said, like a private detective.
In a few days? What important day is coming up in a few days?
Important times and places??
Su Xiyan thought hard, the only day that met all these conditions was her birthday in a few days. It seemed that this year's birthday would definitely be different. Su Xiyan leaned her head on Chen Shuo's shoulder again. In an angle Chen Shuo couldn't see, the corners of her delicate lips curled up slightly into a sweet arc.
My birthday, I'm suddenly looking forward to it so much!
After the dance ended, Su Xiyan was still a little reluctant to leave. As she was leaving, Su Xiyan suddenly felt someone stepping on her skirt!
Wearing high heels, Su Xiyan immediately lost her balance.
The person stepping on her skirt was a girl wearing a big red evening gown. She didn't know which company’s rich miss she was, covered in gold and silver jewelry and all kinds of luxury brand goods. From her makeup and evening gown, it was apparent that she had made elaborate preparations for a long time to attend the ball.
It seemed that even before coming to the ball, this girl had planned to become the brightest star of the event.
However, she did not expect her limelight to be stolen by Su Xiyan. Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan. The combination of the handsome man and beautiful woman, dancing in harmony, was so eye-catching that everyone wanted to watch them more. Especially some of the men at the scene, no matter if they had a dance partner or not, their sights were drawn to Su Xiyan.
The girl in red felt that the attention that was supposed to belong to her was snatched away by Su Xiyan, a junior employee who only represented the company to attend the ball. Naturally, she was not happy internally. So, when the music ended and everyone was leaving the dance floor, the girl in red took the opportunity to use the skirt-stepping trick she had learned from clichéd idol dramas, stepping on Su Xiyan's skirt.
Seeing Su Xiyan lose her balance, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of the girl in red’s lips.
But Su Xiyan was Suzhou City’s most powerful demon hunter! Stepping on a skirt was nothing to her.
However, when Su Xiyan saw Chen Shuo standing beside her, she suddenly had another idea. Pretending to lose her balance, Su Xiyan took the opportunity to throw herself into Chen Shuo’s arms.
Chen Shuo reacted extremely quickly. One hand grabbed Su Xiyan’s slender waist, while the other hand steadily supported her back.
As if in an idol drama, the image of Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo froze there for a moment. Four eyes meeting, their emotions seeming to penetrate each other’s hearts instantly.
Su Xiyan’s eyes flashed a hint of light. Indeed, with Chen Shuo by her side, she would always feel safe!
Who’s protecting who here!? She was the powerful demon hunter, supposed to protect the weak, pitiful little vampire, okay? How did it become Su Xiyan herself seeking Chen Shuo’s protection now?
Su Xiyan steadied herself, two sweet soft blushes appearing on her cheeks.
Chen Shuo's eyes were twinkling like stars. He leaned over to Su Xiyan's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"In the world of demon hunters and vampires, you protect me."
"In the ordinary human world, I protect you."
"So happily decided!"
Thump thump~~!!
Su Xiyan felt her heart was about to jump out! What kind of cheesy line was this!?
But why did it sound so sweet?
Even the exquisite desserts on the nearby dessert stand weren’t as sweet as Chen Shuo.
The girl in red’s scheme had failed. She could only hide herself in the crowd.
Chen Shuo looked up and accidentally met the gaze of that girl in red. That girl's eyes were actually looking towards Chen Shuo??
And with some kind of special emotion??
What was going on?
Chen Shuo thought it was his illusion and didn’t think much of it.
After the dance ended, Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo went to the lounge area and sat on the soft sofas to enjoy the music performed by musicians from all over the world.
Su Xiyan looked around, seemingly somewhat disappointed.
Chen Shuo moved closer to Su Xiyan and squeezed together: “No traces of vampires found?”
Su Xiyan nodded: “Yeah! The information Tang Boss gave can’t be wrong. He has always been very rigorous.”
Chen Shuo raised his eyebrows: “Maybe because there were too many people, so the vampire that was detected didn’t come?”
Su Xiyan analyzed: “According to the data Tang Boss gave me, I have analyzed that the traces of this vampire are very consistent with a 9 to 5 office worker. Logically speaking, it should be someone working at Haiyuan Group. This ball was hosted by Haiyuan Group, and all employees have come to show support and participate without exception. I have confirmed this with Haiyuan Group’s people present.”
Chen Shuo spread his hands: “So the vampire that should have appeared didn’t show up. Where exactly is the problem?”
Su Xiyan thought for a while but was also clueless: “I don’t know. Logically speaking, as long as a vampire appears by my side, whether they have used vampire skills or not, I can sense it.”
“But throughout the ball, I didn't sense the existence of any vampires.”
Something was wrong with this!
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
