"Have you forgotten something? Even if they don't act themselves, they can manipulate others."
Chen Shuo said calmly, having analyzed the situation thoroughly after receiving the call.
Shen Xu, this guy, doesn't have many hobbies and is quite weak-willed. Apart from attending classes, his only leisure activity is staying in the dorm, playing games and reading novels. Occasionally, he watches short videos at night to study, and he hardly ever goes out.
Even if he wanted to settle some personal grudges, his three-point-one-line lifestyle wouldn't allow it.
So, the people causing trouble for him aren't actually targeting him; their clear target is me.
"Let's not waste any more time; let's get going!"
Su Xiyan isn't the type to be out of place in any situation. In such circumstances, whether as a girlfriend or a Demon Hunter, she should actively cooperate with Chen Shuo.
"This time, you stay behind. The other party has requested that I go alone, so..."
Chen Shuo couldn't help but sigh. If possible, he would have liked to bring Su Xiyan along.
"But..." Su Xiyan still wanted to argue, but after thinking it over, she gave up.
If it were before, she would have worried about Chen Shuo's capabilities, but after witnessing his strength last time, she realized the gap between them.
Even without her, Chen Shuo could handle everything. In a way, she was more of a hindrance to him.
"Don't worry. After rescuing Shen Xu, I'll come find you immediately, okay?"
Seeing Su Xiyan's concern, Chen Shuo comforted her. Plus, time was of the essence; the longer it dragged on, the more danger Shen Xu would be in.
He had to act quickly. Su Xiyan wasn't the sentimental type. After nodding obediently, she urged Chen Shuo to hurry back.
Just as Chen Shuo was about to leave, Su Xiyan called out to him again: "Wait a moment."
"What's the matter?"
Su Xiyan didn't answer Chen Shuo but instead moved closer and, with lightning speed, lightly kissed Chen Shuo on the cheek.
Although the warmth was fleeting, it was a real and genuine moment.
Before Chen Shuo could react, Su Xiyan waved at him: "Alright, you can go now."
Chen Shuo shook his head and smiled, telling Su Xiyan to wait quietly at home before heading out.
Arriving at the address provided, Chen Shuo stopped in his tracks as soon as he got out of the car.
The scene of the street was unrecognizable. He had always heard about how "bustling" this street was, attracting many men to linger.
Now he understood; this so-called haven of pleasure was indeed extraordinary.
Looking around, there were rows of white legs, with young women sitting in front of the shops, each in short skirts and low-cut tops, all different.
Their varying figures formed a particularly striking landscape here.
Before Chen Shuo could take a step, someone had already approached him: "Handsome, you're here so early. Come in and play; I can do anything, I promise you'll be enchanted."
The strong smell of cheap perfume wafted through the air, and although the woman's posture was alluring, it didn't stir any reaction from Chen Shuo.
It wasn't that Chen Shuo wasn't a man, but with a beauty like Su Xiyan, he could maintain his composure.
This woman, with her flirtatious demeanor, couldn't evoke any sensory changes in Chen Shuo.
In short, such a woman was just a vulgar flower, unfit for refined settings.
"I'm here to find someone."
"I know, who comes here not to find someone? If I can't satisfy you, I have plenty of girlfriends; you can pick any one you like. Come on, come on, take a look first."
The woman smiled charmingly, covering her mouth with her hand. In her view, Chen Shuo was just pretending to be proper.
After all, he had come to this street; why act so reserved?
Chen Shuo felt helpless and began to doubt if Lu Chen had given him the wrong address.
Despite the woman's persistent pulling, Chen Shuo remained unmoved, his gaze scanning the surroundings and activating his system to scan the area.
Soon, the system detected a trace of a Vampire within a twenty-meter radius, and it was a high-level Vampire.
There was only one Vampire, which surprised Chen Shuo.
He had expected some trap, but the opponent had dared to come alone! This was like an old man taking poison, tired of living.
Ignoring the woman's invitation, Chen Shuo walked straight towards the Vampire's location.
When the Vampire saw Chen Shuo approaching, he stood up and said with a bright gaze, "I didn't expect you to come so quickly; it's quite surprising!"
"Tell me, where is my friend?"
As Chen Shuo asked, he willed the Vampire into his own realm, to cut off the surrounding "temptations" and prevent the Vampire from escaping.
"You, really, are an unromantic man. Look at all these women around you; you can keep your composure. How boring!"
The high-level Vampire teased, moving closer to Chen Shuo.
His transformed appearance was quite attractive, though not as beautiful as Su Xiyan. Still, he was a beauty among beauties, especially in that tight-fitting pencil skirt that showcased his perfect figure.
His close proximity was incredibly seductive, and anyone with weak willpower would undoubtedly lose their composure in the face of such temptation.
But in Chen Shuo's eyes, it was just a trick.
Before the Vampire could make another move, Chen Shuo grabbed his wrist and twisted it 90 degrees.
"Ah! It hurts!"
A tender moan escaped the Vampire, now in the form of a woman, who looked pained, her weak appearance evoking pity.
But it couldn't shake Chen Shuo's resolve. Seeing that the Vampire still wouldn't speak, Chen Shuo increased the pressure on his hand: "Speak, don't waste my time."
"You brute, you really don't know how to be gentle." The woman pouted angrily, but Chen Shuo remained unmoved.
If he wanted, with a single thought, he could end this Vampire's life.
But until he got news of Shen Xu, he had to keep her alive.
"Speak quickly, or else..."
"Or else what? Are you going to kill me? We are of the same kind, both Vampires, how can you be so heartless? Am I not as good as a mortal woman? If you join us, I can serve you in any way you wish..."
Before Chen Shuo could finish, the female Vampire interrupted him again.
At the same time, she pressed her entire body against Chen Shuo, her tender voice and seductive demeanor making her even more alluring.
But she had chosen the wrong target. This move might work on ordinary men, but for Chen Shuo, it only made him feel disgusted.
