After school, he was then offered himself to a succubus.

Chapter 110 A Physique That Makes One Sweat Easily (Please Subscribe! Meow~)

Zhang Chen shook hands with the girl in Hanfu, only to find that her hand was wrapped in a tissue.

They even use tissues to hold hands.

Okay, Zhang Chen was actually afraid of being taken advantage of.

"Sorry, my hands sweat easily, I hope you understand," Su Qinghe said. "What's your name?"

Do you have the same constitution as Xiao Xiaomei? I sweat a lot, especially in my palms, soles, and armpits... basically, I sweat easily in any area.

It's most likely just an excuse.

Perhaps all young ladies are like this, preferring to keep their distance from people, especially men.

He used to think that beautiful girls like Shen Nianxi were aloof and cold.

Actually, when you think a girl is aloof, it's usually just because you haven't won her over enough.

Once you reach a certain level of proficiency, you'll be able to pull off all sorts of fancy tricks.

However, Zhang Chen found out too late; tide tide Jiang had already gone further and further down the path of perversion.

"Zhang Chen".

"My name is Su Qinghe. It's nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself. I'm Xiaorou and Yaoyao's friend, and in a sense, their guardian..."

"At what age can you become a guardian?"

"Twenty-four years old."

"I'm getting old," Zhang Chen sighed.

"..." Su Qinghe frowned slightly, she always felt that Zhang Chen was regretting something.

"You should understand the principle that an elder sister is like a mother. Here's the thing, I saw you behaving intimately with my two younger sisters in the cafeteria. I don't object to free love, but aren't you two being a bit too free...?"

"I'm single," Zhang Chen said honestly. "I don't have any real relationship with them."

"Well, that needs to be verified, but I won't make things difficult for you."

As Su Qinghe spoke, she unconsciously loosened her collar a little. Zhang Chen was sitting near the window and far from the air conditioner, so it would be quite stuffy.

Her Hanfu is fine when she moves, but she gets hot when she sits down and can't find a cool place to sit.

"It's only autumn, and it hasn't gotten cold in Ning'an yet, so why are you wearing clothes like this?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I cannot explain matters of personal belief," Su Qinghe said, taking out a small electric fan from her bag and blowing on it. But perhaps because Zhang Chen was present, she turned it off after a few seconds.

Zhang Chen is hard to evaluate.

I feel like this outfit would look a bit too revealing, and even a pretty girl can't avoid it.

Lin Yinmeng wears thick clothes in the middle of summer, but she is a monster after all. Birds have thick feathers regardless of the season and have long been adapted to high body temperature.

Moreover, female monsters don't have any flavor, only fragrance.

Humans are different.

Unless it's a special half-demon like Jiang Xiaomei, or a yin-type person like Xixi Jiang, who has a natural body fragrance.

For some unknown reason, Zhang Chen suddenly became curious and activated his [Dog Sniff] feature for a second or two...

Surprisingly, there was no "Coucou" flavor; it just tasted like Sprite with lactic acid bacteria, which was acceptable.

It tastes similar to the fox-shaped pastry he ate last night, but its shape is also different from the Tushan Cold Pastry.

No, we shouldn't look at things randomly.

"Do you keep foxes at home?" Zhang Chen asked casually.

"Fox? No."

Su Qinghe wiped the fragrant sweat from her snow-white neck, and after a while, she continued to ask, "I noticed that Gao Quan was very respectful to you. You must be quite familiar with Ning'an? Or, to put it more bluntly, are you a local strongman?"

Asking such a question is a bit too direct.

"I guess so," Zhang Chen nodded.

"Alright, to be honest, I came here to find a medicinal herb that looks a bit like fruit. I heard it's only found in Ning'an."

Su Qinghe took out a hand-drawn sketch and showed it to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was slightly stunned, because this was indeed the fruit of the Bitter Love Tree, and it was painted very realistically.

But this thing, although it has already borne quite a few fruits on the Bitter Love Tree, and he can even eat it as a snack, is something that outsiders can't know.

So many powerful demons, not even Tu Shan Han Su had one. Before the tree was planted, only Long Niang had one.

"This is a sketch I made based on a description in an ancient book, so it should be accurate."

"Profiling?"

"Yes, it's generally used in criminal investigations to draw a portrait of a suspect based on a confession. I've practiced calligraphy and painting since I was a child, so I learned it as well."

"Judging from your reaction, you've seen this herb before? If you know anything about it, or if you happen to have some, I'm willing to pay a high price to buy it," Su Qinghe said solemnly.

"What's the use of this fruit?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I don't know," Su Qinghe said.

"I don't know either," Zhang Chen said with a smile.

If the Bitter Love Tree were to be sold on the market, it would be priceless. Zhang Chen knew very well how valuable something that could easily prolong one's lifespan was.

This thing, like his blood, is a treasure that invites trouble.

He wouldn't have taken it out if he didn't know what Su Qinghe intended to use it for.

Su Qinghe's expression froze; she could tell that Zhang Chen felt she wasn't sincere enough.

"Name your price, millions or tens of millions are no problem."

Zhang Chen remained unmoved. "Sorry, I really don't know what this is."

Su Qinghe wasn't good at socializing, but she didn't want to miss the opportunity at hand; her intuition was always very accurate.

Zhang Chen definitely has information about this medicinal herb.

"Phew... If you're willing to sell me this fruit, I can agree to... what I have with my two little sisters."

"?"

So you sold your sister out? I thought you were a good older sister.

"Of course, that's on the condition that they're willing. If they are, I'll turn a blind eye and help them keep it from their families..."

Zhang Chen shook his head, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Su Qinghe felt the sweat pouring down her back. How could this college student be so uninterested in money and beauty...?

"What do you want? I can give you anything."

With such a big mouth, even a fox wouldn't dare say it could satisfy me, and even a little dog can only whine.

"I'm afraid you can't give me what I want." Zhang Chen turned on the small fan for her. "If you're hot, turn on the fan. Actually, the more you sweat, the more excited some hooligans will become."

The girl's expression froze. Because Zhang Chen had turned the camera up to the highest setting, her bangs were blowing wildly, and she could barely open her eyes.

She disagreed with Zhang Chen's remarks, but it was indeed hot, so she turned down the fan speed and started babbling.

"Whether you're satisfied or not, at least tell me your expectations, okay? I'm willing to pay any price."

"Don't say anything too absolute. What if I say I need you to stay with me in bed?"

Su Qinghe froze, speechless for a moment. After choking back a few sobs, she weakly said, "I'm six years older than you."

"Don't be nervous, don't worry, I have no feelings for you. You're not six years younger than me, so you're not that attractive anymore."

"..." Su Qinghe felt inexplicably wronged; this was the first time she had ever been disliked by a man.

But Zhang Chen's attitude also made her realize that she couldn't get anything from him before gaining his trust.

"Okay, I understand." Su Qinghe sighed; she had to try a different approach.

On one hand, she tried to gather information from Yao Yao and Xiao Rou, and on the other hand, she maintained a good relationship with Zhang Chen, at least gradually gaining his trust.

"How about we start as friends? Even if the business doesn't go through, we can still be friends."

You're too stubborn, baby.

"Okay." Zhang Chen smiled awkwardly. He didn't want to discourage Su Xiaomei like that. Having more friends meant having more options.

Moreover, he also needs to help the puppy win an award; making good connections is always a good thing.

"Okay, so you came to the library to read? I can recommend a few books to you..."

Su Qinghe's way of making friends was also quite awkward; she simply produced "The Tale of Yan Chen" and "The Tale of Yi Chen".

"These two books are the new books I think are good so far. I usually only read ancient books, and this is my first time trying this kind of romance and martial arts novel, which has fascinated me."

Zhang Chen's smile was hard to maintain.

To be honest, seeing someone write about you in a book, and then being recommended to read your book by someone else... creates a very strange cycle.

Just like how Li Yinuo would stop spitting with him after each time she chewed her teeth with him.

Neither he nor Li Yinuo said it directly, but they both knew perfectly well that they disliked each other and enjoyed each other's.

So he stopped reading Li Yinuo and Xiao Xiaomei's books; they were too strange.

"I had always been against marriage because the men I saw were all...unpleasant to look at."

"But after reading these two books, the protagonists in them are really captivating. They are powerful, intelligent, selfless, and righteous... I even fantasized that if such a man existed, breaking my principles wouldn't be a problem."

"As for the plot of the book, there is nothing particularly attractive, but the protagonist's character design is perfect and worthy of the setting of a god. In addition, I am well-versed in the history of the Celestial Empire, and I can see that the content of these two books is combined with the ancient background to the extreme."

"For a moment, I almost thought this was a true story that happened back then."

"That's why I recommend you read these two books. Perhaps by learning from the main characters in the books, you can improve your personal charm, which will be helpful for your life and love life."

Su Qinghe commented, her gaze towards Zhang Chen unusually serious, "Although your appearance is not bad, combined with your temperament and clothing... you seem quite ordinary."

"Clothes make the man, but I think appearance alone is not enough. Experience and inner qualities are what allow you to express your temperament through your appearance."

"Take Chen Jun for example. You should have seen him this morning. He's a typical example of... all show and no substance."

"I heard from Gao Quan that he's involved in literature, right? How come he's all show and no substance?" Zhang Chen asked.

"...How could someone who's only been in the industry for two years write such a sophisticated book..."

Su Qinghe frowned and said, "I suspect his father paid someone to write it for him, but I have no proof."

"Is this something I should know?" Zhang Chen was stunned. Su Xiaomei was too familiar with him.

"It's just a guess. If he has any problems, I'll be the first to expose him," Su Qinghe said righteously.

He has good character.

"So, are you willing to read these two books?" Su Qinghe continued to ask, her beautiful eyes sparkling with an eager desire to share.

Zhang Chen had seen this look before; it was the same look he gave Shen Nianxi when he recommended Gala or Golden Oil back in high school.

Unfortunately, Shen Nianxi would only call him a pervert and disgusting, and never played those games.

"I won't look," Zhang Chen refused.

"Not going to watch it? I'm serious... you'll absolutely love it after you watch it."

I'm not gay, so why would I love men? Besides, it's me, for crying out loud.

I love you, my old self.

"I don't really have a feel for words. You said the protagonist is great, but I can't feel it just by reading the words." Zhang Chen wanted to run away, so he made up an excuse.

Su Xiaomei is also pollen-prone; she dropped two pollen grains after only a few sentences of conversation.

They all suddenly appeared when Su Qinghe was talking about the main characters in the book, and Zhang Chen didn't understand why.

He had only ever seen this kind of reaction on Xixi-chan, such as sagging of the dantian.

We're just missing these two pollen grains; we can go back in time again.

Seeing that Su Qinghe couldn't generate any more buzz, he figured he might as well run away first. He still needed to figure out how to deal with the sonar his company had installed in Nanjing.

Neither the dragon girl nor the fox, being powerful demons, noticed this. Scarface, as a low-level employee, was simply doing his job without knowing the purpose.

Zhang Chen only knew that the sonic shriek had a significant suppressive effect on some minor demons with less than a hundred years of cultivation.

The sonar installed this time is probably of a higher level.

"Wait! Don't go yet. You want to see the drawing. Can I sketch a portrait for you first?"

"I can't guarantee I can perfectly capture the essence of the main character in the book, but I can at least get some of their spirit. Are you interested?"

Before Zhang Chen could answer, the girl had already taken out a pencil from her bag and started doodling on a piece of white paper.

"Sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes...the number one immortal under heaven...I will go even if there are ten thousand demons..." Su Qinghe seemed to change a lot after picking up the paintbrush. Her expression was particularly serious, and she muttered to herself.

Zhang Chen looked at her and realized that she really seemed to know what she was doing. He was curious to see what the girl would draw.

Can you really sketch out his appearance?

He probably looks the same now as he did then, the only difference being whether he's young or old... but he's already about the same age as Schrödinger's cat.

Zhang Chen went around to the girl's back, but Su Qinghe was so focused that she didn't notice him spying on her.

"?"

Zhang Chen stared for a few seconds, and was startled just by seeing the girl draw the eyes.

Damn, they really are almost identical. How could he not recognize them?

"Wait for me, I'm getting into the swing of things, it'll be quick, definitely within ten minutes."

Su Qinghe gritted her teeth and carefully sketched the portrait; it was the first time she had ever done a profile of a character from a book.

It was actually quite challenging, since the characters in the books are fictional and can't be directly linked to reality. Fortunately, she enjoys close reading, and these two books deeply moved her...

As the profile was sketched, the portrait of the figure gradually became complete, and her tightly pursed pink lips slowly relaxed, eventually turning into a faint smile.

Drawing the protagonist in her heart is both a challenge and a pleasure for her, and it gives her a great sense of accomplishment.

Moreover, she had long been captivated by the character in the book, and the process of drawing his portrait was no less than falling in love.

If such a man truly exists...

In the end, it took Su Qinghe half an hour to finish the drawing, and she lost track of time.

But when she came to her senses and looked at the portrait drawn in pencil on the white paper, a current suddenly surged through her body, running from the soles of her feet, through her pelvis, through her heart, and straight to the top of her head.

Her body went numb instantly, her breath almost stopped, and her toes, hidden under her stockings, clenched together under the strain. The oppressive heat that had been lingering in her chest vanished in an instant, leaving only cold sweat seeping from her forehead.

"this..."

Su Qinghe didn't understand. She looked up to find Zhang Chen, but all that was left was a small electric fan blowing her bangs around.

The fan blades spun extremely fast, and as always, the wind was so strong that she couldn't open her eyes.

The wind made her dizzy and disoriented.

"Where's Lin Yinmeng?" Zhang Chen came to the lakeside cottage but didn't see the little bird.

"She went to record a show," Zhao Fangyi said, poking her head out. "Is there anything you want me to tell you?"

"It's nothing." Zhang Chen went inside and lay down, whistling. Crows from the woods flew over and perched on the windowsill.

First, the location of the sonar needs to be determined. Zhang Chen guessed that they were all in the sky, so that patrols wouldn't require that many employees.

So the company's elaborate deployment of personnel to fly in the sky is nothing more than a nominal patrol, used to cover up some minor actions.

Poor Xixi-chan, she didn't gain the organization's trust and was sent on a business trip, but at least she left Zhang Chen some inheritance before she left.

This gave Zhang Chen the opportunity to infiltrate among these frontline employees. Scarface was the first, and once there was a first, there would be a second and a third, and so on.

Fish swim to higher places.

But now is not the time to expand. We should first penetrate before expanding, and accumulate resources before declaring ourselves king.

"Caw!" Upon hearing his instructions, the crow quickly flew back into the woods, waking up all the other birds.

The next moment, the flock of birds took to the air, hovered for a while, and then scattered.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Zhang Chen only sent Sparrow to scout ahead, as sparrows are quite common in the city.

"Chirp chirp~"

Zhao Fangyi looked up and watched as the man once again commanded the flock of birds with ease. She had thought her emotions wouldn't be too turbulent, but each time she watched, she was amazed by the differences between people.

Then, one will think of the grudges left behind some time ago.

Perhaps she did have a tiny chance... Of course, she couldn't possibly have a place in her heart, but she could still distinguish between a bedchamber maid and a servant maid.

She would dress up meticulously every day, imitating Lin Yinmeng's makeup and styling, trying to make herself look more like Yinmeng.

That way, maybe one day Zhang Chen will get drunk and mistake her for Yin Meng, and they'll do it together... In the end, it's just her ultimate fantasy.

Zhao Fangyi was genuinely envious of Ye Zhi, who got to clean the room every day and even told her that the ceiling was covered in...

Those are all treasures.

"Would you like some water?" Zhao Fangyi put aside her thoughts, picked up a cup of hot water and placed it on the bedside table, asking respectfully and cautiously.

"No need, I'll leave soon since she's not here," Zhang Chen said, waving his hand.

"By the way, is she very busy lately?"

"Yes, she has a lot of engagements. She doesn't film dramas, only accepts some interviews and variety shows, but she needs to maintain her popularity. Recently, she's also been considering whether to hold a concert, saying she wants to earn more money for baby formula..."

"There's no need to go to such lengths," Zhang Chen sighed with a smile, probably because he saw Li Yinuo also competing with her, the two female demons were vying for supremacy.

The fox at home is busy with the Bitter Love Tree every day, Bai Nuoyan is running around everywhere, and he even has the title of some kind of cat scholar...

Looking around, Long Luoyang seems to be the most free.

What a useless dragon girl! She's just lazing around like this, and she even went to steal cat food. Fine, she can eat it, but doesn't she know minors can't drink alcohol? She should at least wait until she's grown up before eating it.

Seeing that the little dragon girl ate such a huge bucket filled Zhang Chen with guilt.

If this continues, he really will have to call Long Luoyang "Mom".

Zhang Chen prepared to leave and find a good place to rewind.

"Um, you... I've learned a little massage, would you like me to give you a massage before you go?" Zhao Fangyi asked tentatively, as if she had mustered up her courage.

Zhang Chen turned to look at her. Women's thoughts are hard to guess, but girls' thoughts are not.

Even the most mature woman has a girlish side—this is the inspiration Zhang Chen gained from Long Luoyang.

Even the most powerful dragon girl has a cute, childlike side.

"I didn't care. Everyone has moments of breakdown. There's no need to hold a grudge," Zhang Chen said.

"Also, your original makeup looks better, and you look good even without makeup, so please don't wear the same makeup as Yinmeng."

"Oh, I'll go remove my makeup right now..." Zhao Fangyi's heart was pounding, but as soon as she got the makeup remover, Zhang Chen disappeared on a crow.

She let out a long breath and slowly wiped away her makeup. Her inner turmoil seemed to have subsided, but she also felt a touch of melancholy.

I find it ridiculous that I've been so worried and anxious about it, but in the end, no one even noticed.

She was adored by many at school and was called some kind of vulgar goddess, but to Zhang Chen, she was just a pretty maid.

Even if Zhang Chen doesn't care at all, she should still have no regrets. She should remember her mistakes and the kindness shown to her, and then spend her whole life repaying and giving back. That's all.

"Gurgle gurgle—"

The long caws of crows swept across the sky, and to Zhao Fangyi, they sounded like a song.

The girl clasped her hands together, praying for him to have a good time.

"Sister Qinghe, the bed is made up for you."

Jiang Rou pulled Su Qinghe along, looking mysterious, "But besides me and Shuyao, there's also Lord Long in the dorm, um..."

She usually sleeps on the top bunk; don't wake her.

"Lord Long?" Su Qinghe was stunned. "Is your surname Long?"

"Yeah, sometimes it gets bigger... Just pretend she doesn't exist, and don't worry about her jumping out of the window."

""

"?"

"Oh..." Su Qinghe nodded as if she understood, looking at "Lord Long" who was hiding under the covers on the upper bunk, his face puffed up like a little bun.

Whose child is this?

"Oh right, Mianmian also comes to stay occasionally. Don't treat her like a child; she's an adult now."

"Okay...where's the bathroom?"

Su Qinghe quickly took a shower, her body covered in sweat.

She washed slowly, lost in thought as she did so, still replaying the process of sketching Zhang Chen in her mind... Why did she draw a picture of Zhang Chen?

Was it because her appearance left such a deep impression on her? Or...?

"Shuyao, come here for a second."

"Do you need to change your clothes?" Xiao Shuyao wandered around outside with her notebook, writing a few words every now and then.

"Is the protagonist in your book the same person as Li Yinuo?"

"I really don't know... I got my information from unofficial historical records," Xiao Shuyao said.

"So, is your character's description based on a real person?"

"Hmm...it's somewhat helpful."

Su Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief. Shu Yao and Zhang Chen lived close by, so it was understandable that she would use Zhang Chen as a model... She could try Li Yinuo's book later.

It's impossible for both books to portray Zhang Chen, right?

"Qinghe, aren't you done washing yet? It's been half an hour."

"Almost there... Strange, why am I sweating more and more after washing..." Su Qinghe realized that something was wrong with her body. Even after taking off her Hanfu, she still couldn't dry herself off after washing.

It doesn't seem to be sweat.

What the girl didn't know was that at the same time, a fox in a matchmaking agency was doing the same thing.

Tu Shan Han Su's face was half red like a maple leaf as she collected the empty bottles, while hundreds of bottles had already piled up behind her.

After drinking so much, Miss Fox has finished all her winter food reserves, but she is still very thirsty.

"Could I be pregnant...? When?" she muttered dejectedly, clutching her lower abdomen. After sighing, she rested her chin on her hand and looked up at the sky.

The chirping of sparrows rang out continuously, and the little birds darted among the rosy clouds, as if they were munching on cotton candy.

The sky was also at the transition between light and dark, with blue skies and golden clouds.

This world is half deep blue, half shimmering gold.
