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

"Holy crap, Zhang Chen, your dog got...whoever."

Li Yu pointed at the girl with long, straight black hair not far away, and stammered in surprise.

"Actually, that's not my dog. I found it on the street," Zhang Chen explained. "Let's keep waiting in line."

"You can pick up a dog like this on the street? Can stray dogs be that clean?"

"It might have become sentient; it can bathe itself."

"Wait a minute, you didn't research Li Yinuo's preferences beforehand, did you? Knowing she likes dogs, did you specially pick one up from the roadside, wash it clean, and bring it over?"

Li Yu was filled with dread upon thinking about it, and suddenly clutched his head in panic, saying:

"Damn, are you planning to use this dog to strike up a conversation with Li Yinuo, then pretend to give her the dog to get her contact information, and chat about dogs every day, gradually building up your relationship, and eventually turning online chatting into online dating?! And just like that, you've won over Li Yinuo, one of the twin stars of Nanjing University and a genius girl?!"

"You're a genius! How come I didn't think of that? Damn it, Li Yinuo won't bring you water during military training, will she? Don't be ridiculous, that's Li Yinuo!"

"Ah Chen, we're brothers, right? Remember to introduce me to some girls from the literature club."

"No, I never even thought about it."

Zhang Chen had to admire Li Yu's ability to make connections.

He is definitely preparing to contact Li Yinuo, but it's not yet clear whether she's a friend or foe.

Of the two known former female demons, Bai Nuoyan is confirmed to be an ally, but Tu Shan Hansu seems to be a neutral character.

If he couldn't meet her requirements within three years, Zhang Chen felt he would really be captured and sent to Xingnuli, as her attitude was unusually tough.

Based on the special CG revealed by the system, all we know is that 'he' adopted Li Yinuo.

But what happened next? In ancient times, humans and monsters seemed to be enemies.

Furthermore, and most importantly, he didn't know whether Li Yinuo, like Bai Nuoyan and Tu Shan Hansu, remembered everything, or whether she, like him, was in a state of amnesia with confused memories.

When the CG of Tu Shan Han Su was first unlocked, the system explained that some of the female demons from his past life had missing memories. Only when he recruited them or unlocked the CG would their memories be restored.

How much is missing exactly?

Since Li Yinuo was able to write this CG into a book, she must at least have memories of the adoption.

Zhang Chen also understood that the dog demon was raised by Li Yinuo, just like Bai Nuoyan raised a bunch of cat demons.

Sent to monitor him?

Anyway, since we're already here, let's just say hello.

He's not so afraid of dying anymore. The worst-case scenario is that he'll be captured by Tu Shan Han Su and forced to mate with her, or that he'll have a fake marriage with Bai Nuo Yan.

Unless, of course, there's a monster even more powerful than the two of them, like a dragon or something, that slaps them both to death and then captures them.

But do dragons really exist in this world?

Hmm... Bai Nuoyan has the bloodline of the White Tiger. If he has the White Tiger, then it doesn't seem impossible for him to have the Azure Dragon or something.

"It's our turn!" Li Yu suddenly shouted, pulling Zhang Chen out of his reverie.

"Hey buddy, were the questions hard?" Li Yu pulled aside a boy who had just finished the test. "What were they asking?"

"I couldn't understand the questions at all. I wanted to see what Li Yinuo looked like in person, but she was wearing a mask, so I couldn't see her at all," the boy said helplessly.

"That's it." Li Yu looked at Zhang Chen in despair. "Let's switch to another club. I heard there are a lot of pretty girls in the etiquette club."

"Give it a try, we've been in line for so long," Zhang Chen shrugged.

"Yeah, you're right." Li Yu had no opinion of his own. "Actually, that girl with glasses was pretty nice too, don't you think?"

"Uh, it's alright." Zhang Chen didn't know how to evaluate it. After all, he had been Bai Nuoyan's neighbor for eighteen years, Shen Nianxi's classmate for three years, and now he was living with Tu Shan Hansu.

His aesthetic taste has become quite discerning without him even realizing it.

"Holy crap, this is considered 'okay'? You're not really trying to date Li Yinuo, are you?"

Li Yu sighed and patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder.

"Ah Chen, which is more important, finding a partner or making money? I hope you can tell the difference."

"Money is the most important thing when it comes to dating," Zhang Chen replied immediately.

"?" Li Yu hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively, "It seems to make some sense."

While the two were rambling on, another group of students who had answered the questions left the room disappointed.

Zhang Chen and Li Yu stepped forward, waiting for questions as if they were being interviewed by an HR professional.

Ye Zhi—the girl with glasses—arrived late from behind, sat down in front of them with her arms crossed, and said helplessly:

"Are you sure you want to give it a try? If you're not confident, you might as well give the time to other students."

"You must have the confidence, right, Zhang Chen?" Li Yu feigned composure and gave Zhang Chen an elbow strike.

Zhang Chen gave an awkward laugh.

"Let me ask you an easy question first. If you can answer it, continue; if you can't, then forget it."

"Please speak!"

"What are some of Montaigne's famous quotes? Any one will do."

Li Yu frowned, observing the other person's expression, and tentatively asked, "Meng Tian? You play mobile games too?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhi's vision went black, and the students queuing behind her burst out laughing.

However, the laughter didn't last more than a few seconds before a sudden uproar broke out in the group.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the long, straight black-haired girl who was walking gracefully towards them.

"President? You can leave this to me. Aren't you waiting for someone..." Ye Zhi said, startled. "You should go and rest first."

"I'll review this person," Li Yinuo said in a gentle, warm voice. "The rest are yours."

"Are you going to do it yourself? There's no need... They don't really understand... This way they'll be eliminated immediately."

"It's okay, I'll check it again." Li Yinuo sat down, holding the puppy, facing Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was also looking at her.

At this moment, many people who had only come to catch a glimpse of Li Yinuo were just watching the drama unfold.

Li Yu, standing beside him, gaped wide-eyed, unable to utter a word, his eyes bulging as if they were about to burst.

Countless gazes pressed down on Zhang Chen, like an invisible pressure that left him frozen in place, unable to escape.

I feel like I've been set up.

It seems that even if Li Yu hadn't brought him here, the wolf demon would probably have led him here and then been controlled by Li Yinuo.

What did Li Yinuo want to ask him?

"It's a bit hot." Li Yinuo didn't get straight to the point, but instead took off her mask and raised her fair hand to fan herself.

As the mask was removed, Zhang Chen could clearly see the girl's entire face from this angle.

They only made eye contact for a second.

A tender, fragile, and endearing feeling suddenly welled up within him. The emotion came so suddenly that Zhang Chen almost wondered if the other party had used some kind of bewitching magic.

But Li Yinuo quickly pulled her hat brim down hard, which perfectly matched the angle of the direct sunlight, and her beautiful, fair face was once again hidden in the shadows.

"Uh, is there anything you want to ask?" Zhang Chen, having been piqued, couldn't wait to speak first.

How old are you?

"Eighteen," Zhang Chen said.

"Oh." Li Yinuo nodded obediently, "She's younger than me."

"..." Zhang Chen realized that just by listening to her tone, he felt that this girl was not very smart.

Have you read my new book?

"I've seen it."

"What are your thoughts on my new book?"

"It's well written?"

"Anything else?"

"That's all." Zhang Chen didn't offer any further comment.

"Okay, okay." Li Yinuo nodded obediently as always. "One last question."

Do you have a girlfriend?

Zhang Chen was stunned. Was it really that direct? There were quite a few people present. Wouldn't he be filmed and cyberbullied online?

"without..."

"Okay, thank you for your reply." Li Yinuo extended her small hand to him. "Welcome to the Literature Club."

Zhang Chen instinctively grasped the girl's hand; it was soft, smooth, and delicate...
