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

Inside a private room at a KTV.

"Look at this watch, and you must answer the following questions truthfully."

The girl held up her pocket watch and waved it in front of Zhang Chen.

Why were you in the bathroom?

"He's a professor at Nanjing University. We met at a class reunion. I only got into Nanjing University with the help of the super beautiful Shen Nianxi, so the opportunity was hard-won. I wanted to get close to the professor, so I followed him to the restroom..."

"Huh? What did you call me?"

"The incredibly beautiful girl Shen Nianxi."

"No...it's embarrassing, is this really what you feel?"

"Yes," Zhang Chen replied honestly.

"Okay... remember to add 'cute'." Shen Nianxi pouted and muttered.

"Okay, the super cute and adorable girl Shen Nianxi."

"Um... let's get down to business. What happened after you followed him to the restroom?" Shen Nianxi patted her cheeks and asked seriously.

"He was smoking in the bathroom, chatted with me for a bit, then suddenly started talking to himself, then lay down on the floor, his neck was very swollen."

"What did he say?"

"Tell me, the ancestor of the cat demons of Ning'an has come to take revenge on him... He's doomed."

Shen Nianxi was taken aback. "So it was that person who made the move... A cat demon with a thousand years of cultivation truly deserves to be called an ancestor."

Zhang Chen laughed.

The gamble on framing someone worked; Shen Nianxi did indeed know of Bai Nuoyan's existence.

Bai Nuoyan is quite famous, after all, she and Tu Shan Hansu are both "predestined female demons".

But the next moment, Shen Nianxi suddenly tapped her chin and asked in confusion:

"Did that person report to me beforehand, and still act on their own? Did they notice something was wrong and stop them in time?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen realized that the cat lying in the matchmaking agency was indeed Bai Nuoyan's subordinate.

In fact, after going through all this, Zhang Chen was basically certain of what Bai Nuoyan had done for him.

However, his existing understanding makes it really difficult for him to empathize with such a bitter and deep-seated grudge and love affair.

"Zhang Chen, do you live next door to Bai Nuoyan?" Shen Nianxi stared at him and asked seriously again.

"Yes."

"Does she usually exhibit any unusual behavior?"

No.

"Around nine o'clock this morning, did you feel unwell? Was there anything unusual happening around you?"

Zhang Chen was startled, because around nine o'clock in the morning was exactly the time when he first used [Self-Control] to amplify his senses.

Could it be... that not only Bai Nuoyan and Tu Shan Hansu could sense it, but Shen Nianxi could also detect it?

That's way too bizarre. If that's the case, he'll have to send a group message to everyone before he takes off his pants to let them know.

Taking this off would look really cool.

Baby, don't love too much.

"no."

"No... That's right, you're a normal human, it's normal that you can't feel it."

"Alright, that's all for now."

Shen Nianxi slowly closed the pocket watch, her lips moving as she said:

"Forget everything I told you. From now on, you're just a student who got drunk at a class reunion, passed out in the restroom, and I'll help you to the private room..."

"No... uh!" Shen Nianxi reopened the pocket watch, grabbed the wine that had been prepared earlier, and said, "Wait a minute, drink all of this first."

Zhang Chen's pupils contracted slightly.

He's never even drunk beer before. Who knows what will happen if he actually downs a whole bottle of red wine?

"Drink it." Shen Nianxi opened the bottle for him. "I specially chose Red Dust Brew for you to drink. It won't harm your body. After drinking it, the yang energy in an ordinary person's body will increase, which can prolong life."

"Consider it compensation for the second hypnosis... Remember to leave me a couple of sips, I also like to drink this, it's a recipe from the Pure Yang Daoist."

Shen Nianxi swallowed hard and poured him a full glass.

"Hmm...Although the Pure Yang Daoist is quite a scoundrel, the wine he brews is really delicious."

Zhang Chen reluctantly picked up the wine glass and took two sips. It was indeed delicious; no wonder it was made by him.

He also discovered that the alcohol instantly transformed into yang energy upon entering his stomach, condensing into his dantian.

In other words... he won't get drunk from drinking this stuff at all.

On the other hand, Shen Nianxi had secretly taken two sips, and her cheeks were already rosy.

Soon, after several rounds of drinks...

Zhang Chen, who was pretending to be drunk, was helped back to room 305 by Shen Nianxi, who was half-drunk.

"I'm not drunk!" Zhang Chen didn't pretend, and kept repeating the same sentence.

However, he can manipulate yang energy, causing it to accumulate on his face and neck, thus creating the appearance of a flushed face and thick neck.

He really looks like he's drunk.

Shen Nianxi was in a semi-conscious state, so carrying Zhang Chen was no problem for her.

At this moment, Zhang Chen had half his body pressed against her, but she felt no resistance at all.

She always hated interacting with people, but... what she didn't say was that Zhang Chen seemed to have a natural affinity for her.

Shen Nianxi always took this feeling as... evidence of Zhang Chen's unrequited love.

But when she tried to analyze it carefully, she couldn't come up with any reasonable logic.

Is it fate?

Actually, she didn't need to carry Zhang Chen like this; she could have walked while holding onto his arm.

However, she liked Zhang Chen's warmth and scent... and couldn't help but carry him on her back.

Looking at him closely now, Zhang Chen seems to have become much more handsome... When did he shave his beard? He used to be a bit dark-skinned, and his acne is gone...

"Hey! She's back! She's back!" As soon as they entered room 305, a girl waiting at the door exclaimed excitedly, "Nianxi's back..."

But then she saw that Shen Nianxi was carrying the delirious Zhang Chen on her shoulder, and she was terrified.

At this point in the KTV, because the Nanjing University professor had mysteriously left, and his wife had also gone, Huang Yiming, after giving everyone some gifts, decided to start planning and decorating the private room ahead of schedule...

Inside the private room, Lin Yinmeng's love songs are playing, pink heart-shaped balloons are floating everywhere, and a large cake sits on the table.

All of these were prepared by Huang Yiming to confess his feelings to Shen Nianxi.

"You're here?" Huang Yiming rushed forward impatiently. "Nianxi, you're finally back! Look at me..."

"This...this?"

Huang Yiming also saw Zhang Chen, who reeked of alcohol, and was now shamelessly embracing Shen Nianxi's neck, the two of them very close and behaving intimately.

He trembled all over.

"I'm not drunk..." Zhang Chen called out cooperatively, not understanding why Shen Nianxi had to come back.

To be honest, he didn't want to see those underworld classmates a second time.

Just because it's an act, it has to be complete? Is it because they're afraid he'll get confused from being hypnotized too many times, so they specially brought him back to complete the logical chain?

"Bang!"

"Together! Together!"

"Alas!"

Meanwhile, those inside the private room, unaware of what was happening, cheered and made a ruckus. Huang Yiming's henchmen even set off firecrackers, sending plastic sparks flying towards the door...

It landed on Zhang Chen and Shen Nianxi.

Huang Yiming had wanted to force a smile and ask what had happened, but seeing this scene, he really couldn't bear it anymore.

"Who set off the cannon?! Is that an idiot?!" he shouted, pointing into the private room.

"That's fucking insane!"

"Brother Ming, what's wrong...?"

"roll!"

Shen Nianxi ignored this and looked directly at the people in the private room, "Zhang Chen got drunk with me, so I'm taking him home. That's why I'm letting you know, you don't need to wait for us."

The private room was completely silent.

Shen Nianxi clung to Zhang Chen's body and turned to leave.

Zhang Chen, who was leaning on the girl's shoulder, twitched slightly. Hearing the gasps behind him, he couldn't hold back any longer. He figured he was going to be talked about for a long time.

He couldn't understand what Shen Nianxi meant by all this.

A moment later, Shen Nianxi carried him to the lobby on the first floor. The receptionist saw the two of them and remarked, "Hey, so drunk. This little man is going to have a hard time getting back here."

Shen Nianxi glared at the receptionist, too lazy to explain.

She still enjoys muttering to herself like she did in high school:

"Most of them will be studying at Nanyang University, so you'll run into them eventually. It's embarrassing to be constantly dragged out and bullied like this."

"You're my deskmate, Shen Nianxi. Can't you be a little more assertive? I'm backing you up this time. From now on, walk with your head held high. Failing the college entrance exam once won't make a difference. Didn't I already pay your tuition?"

"Don't feel inferior, just focus on your studies."

"Although we are destined to be from two different worlds."

"But I actually had a pretty good time during my three years of high school, so consider this my way of thanking you... for trying so hard to make me laugh every day..."

"However, uh... you'd better not try to do a fadeaway jump shot at girls in college. It might be funny, but it's really embarrassing."

Zhang Chen was stunned.

Being comforted by a "white moonlight" (ideal romantic partner) doesn't move me at all.

He just wanted to ask Shen Nianxi, how could such a bold move as a fadeaway jump shot be funny? How could it be embarrassing?

A vulgar woman who doesn't understand art.

...

Matchmaking agency.

Tu Shan Han Su had just finished cooking braised pork and even gave a plate to the rats.

The rat demons acted as if it were New Year's Day, making each rat take only one bite of a piece of meat, so that the whole family could have a taste.

Tu Shan Han Su found them rather endearing, smiled, and gave them two extra pieces of meat.

It seems that all the monsters he keeps are so gentle and kind.

Meow~

At this moment, the calico cat, which had been curled up in the corner, finally woke up and let out a sad meow.

"He's awake? Then he must be back." Tu Shan Han Su looked at the cat, whose markings were not yet noticeable, but were slowly recovering.

"Meow..."

"Thank me? You should be thanking someone else, not me. You should know whose yang energy you're absorbing!"

"Meow."

"The company people will be here soon. I don't need to tell you what to do, do I?"

Upon hearing this, the calico cat was about to jump out of the doorway and leave.

Tu Shan Han Su suddenly called out to it again:

"How's that tiger named Bai doing now?"

Meow~

"So she really is alive... But from now on, you must remember that you only have Zhang Chen as your benefactor. Go say goodbye to that guy surnamed Bai, and then, like these rats, stay here."

The calico cat lay down, prostrated itself on the steps, and kowtowed three times, blood and tears flowing down its face.
