Chen Shuo only wanted to live a simple life with Su Xiyan, believing that the grudges and conflicts between other vampires and Demon Hunters had little to do with him.
After all, Chen Shuo's goal was quite simple: to reverse his bloodline as soon as possible and then live a shameless little life with the cold and beautiful school belle, Su Xiyan.
That was enough for him.
However, as the saying goes, "The tree desires stillness, but the wind keeps blowing."
The more one pursues a peaceful happiness, the more trouble comes knocking at the door.
Chen Shuo had a vague feeling that no matter how he tried to stay out of it, he would be dragged into the situation with the Demon King vampire coming to Su City.
Su Yuanying seemed to be holding back, his heart apparently concealing countless mysteries, but he wouldn't tell Chen Shuo.
At first, Chen Shuo wanted to ask, but later he felt it was better not to get involved!
All matters in the world can be resolved with two sentences:
The first: None of my damn business!
The second: None of your damn business!
Chen Shuo didn't want to be at the center of the whirlpool, so he had been keeping a low profile lately.
Time flew by quickly, and another week passed.
Su Yuanying seemed very busy this week, only calling Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan a few times to ask if the Demon King had shown up.
Even when Chen Shuo deliberately asked about the vampire Demon King, Su Yuanying avoided the topic.
Chen Shuo couldn't help but complain to Su Xiyan: "Is your dad always this concerned about saving face?"
"If he can't handle the Demon King, he could tell me! After all, I'm a... a Demon King too, I'm sure I could help, right?"
Su Xiyan replied: "My dad has always been like this, trying to solve everything by himself."
"Besides, my dad thinks you have more important things to do."
Chen Shuo was full of question marks: "Hmm?"
"What could be more important than catching the Demon King?"
Su Xiyan: "Of course there is! My dad's intention is very clear, he wants you to protect me well!"
Chen Shuo didn't react immediately, pointing at himself: "You're a Demon Hunter, and you need me to protect you?"
"Could it be that your dad already knows about my strength?"
Su Xiyan: "Yeah, he probably knows the gist of it! Even if you don't say it, with his experience, he's already guessed eight or nine out of ten."
"Chen Shuo, you have to understand, my dad has been in a high position for a long time, and he's very smart."
"We have no secrets in front of him."
Chen Shuo outwardly agreed with Su Xiyan's words, even praising Su Yuanying.
But inwardly, he was quite pleased.
He thought to himself that not even Su Xiyan, who spent day and night with him, could fathom his secrets, let alone Su Yuanying!
This was his trump card, and he couldn't reveal it unless absolutely necessary.
Many familiar people knew Chen Shuo was strong, but they didn't know exactly how strong he was.
In the deep of night, after midnight, even the stars were too lazy to shine, hiding behind the clouds.
In the old town of Su City, because of plans for redevelopment, the original residents had all moved away.
Only cold streetlights illuminated the dilapidated old neighborhood. The factories that once burned the midnight oil were now just ruins overgrown with weeds, still flaunting their former glory.
Like an unwilling old man, clinging to his last breath, refusing to let go.
On the walls, large red circles contained the character for "demolish."
Excess paint dripped down the walls, looking very much like blood from a torn wound!
In this wasteland abandoned by humans, another species that couldn't bear the light was hidden—vampires.
Because the Demon Hunters in Su City were too strong, vampires had become their prey. In the eyes of Demon Hunters, vampires weren't even considered beings with equal rights, but merely stepping stones for Demon Hunters to level up.
Vampires could only eke out a living in places where sunlight couldn't reach.
However, recently, the vampires in Su City seemed to have seen the first ray of dawn!
Because! A Demon King had come to Su City!
The arrival of Demon King Xiao Mingchen was like a shot of adrenaline for the dying vampires.
It made the vampires who had lost hope gather together again, and even start discussing strategies to exterminate the Demon Hunters.
At this moment, Xiao Mingchen was wearing a long black down jacket, a knitted hat on his head, and behind black-framed glasses, a pair of hawk-like eyes were hidden. A dark red light flickered in his eye sockets.
The black down jacket paired with dark jeans and a pair of luxury brand trendy shoes made Xiao Mingchen look like a very fashionable middle-aged man who knew how to dress himself. If one didn't know he was a Demon King, they might think he was the most popular image spokesperson in the entertainment industry!
Xiao Mingchen sat casually in the center of the ruins.
Behind him was an old sofa abandoned by humans.
Xiao Mingchen's aura was so strong! Even sitting on a shabby sofa, he gave off an air of ruling the world!
The vampires below stood bowing, extremely respectful.
Each vampire's eye sockets flickered with a dim red light!
Finally, Su City had a Demon King to back them up!
The two older vampires standing at the front took turns reporting the situation in Su City over the past few years to Xiao Mingchen.
Xiao Mingchen listened with his eyes half-closed, expressionless.
Even when the vampires spoke with tears and snot, their tone full of hatred, Xiao Mingchen's expression remained unchanged, without any fluctuation.
After listening, the vampires below began to plot and scheme:
"Now we're not just a disorganized mob! We finally have a Demon King!"
"Why don't we take advantage of this time before the Demon Hunters have fully integrated with Su Yuanying and wipe them all out!"
"Yes! We've been wanting to avenge our fallen comrades for so long!"
"Lead us to kill all the Demon Hunters!! Kill, kill, kill!!"
...
The vampires seemed to be on an adrenaline high, willing to follow the Demon King to their deaths if asked.
The vampires, in their extreme excitement, only thought about quickly going with the Demon King to seek revenge.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mingchen had other plans in mind.
Xiao Mingchen, who had been silent all this time, slowly opened his mouth and asked in a low, hoarse voice: "That one called Chen Shuo, I hear he's a traitor among vampires?"
At the mention of Chen Shuo's name, the vampires below burned with anger:
"Ptui!!"
"This Chen Shuo not only lives with a Demon Hunter called Su Xiyan, but he has also helped Demon Hunters hunt down our kind!"
"If we catch this traitor, I'll make sure to torture him good!!"
Xiao Mingchen remained calm:
"No rush,"
"If we want to exterminate all the Demon Hunters in Su City, this Chen Shuo is the key breakthrough point!"
"Don't act rashly before I give the order."
