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

"dislike."

Why?

"Because I have someone I like."

"Me?"

"no."

Why not?

"..."

"Zhang Chen, look at this pocket watch, and remember, you actually like me, oh no, no... I'm human, and you like humans."

"?"

And forced love? Are all of you who practice hypnosis this controlling?

Zhang Chen was exhausted and had no idea what Shen Nianxi wanted to do.

He figured Shen Nianxi was probably from some kind of cultivation family, and that she hypnotized him to avoid involving ordinary people...

Changing his XP is going too far.

Sigh, prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain. What's wrong with liking catgirls? What's wrong with liking foxgirls?

Xiao Yan played with snakes, and Tang San played with rabbits; these are all respectable seniors.

"I like humans," Zhang Chen conceded.

"That's right... Hmm... Who do you like? If you're not comfortable saying, then don't. I'm just curious."

Baby, I'm still under your hypnosis. Can I not answer your question?

After thinking it over, Zhang Chen casually made up a lie:

"I like the girl who lives next door to me."

"You have a childhood sweetheart?"

"Yes, there is. He lives next door and went to the same high school as us. His name is Bai Nuoyan."

"Oh, her... I think I've heard of her. Her college entrance exam score was similar to mine. By the way, is your score high enough to get into Nanjing University? Didn't you want to go to that university?"

"I only have enough money to upgrade my premium skills, not enough to pay for them."

"so..."

Shen Nianxi nodded, then, as if thinking of something, paced back and forth, pondering:

"You can still change your application. Change it now. I'll pay your tuition as compensation for the emotional distress caused by hypnotizing you."

What else is there to say?

Hypnotize me a few more times, sis, I don't want to try anymore.

The major he was interested in was a collaboration with a foreign country, so the admission score was slightly lower, but the tuition was tens of thousands of yuan a year, which he simply couldn't afford.

Over the years, we had actually saved up quite a bit of money, but my master made a will insisting on a grand funeral. He held a funeral banquet and invited people from all over the county to eat for free, and that's how the money was spent.

As for the remaining money, it was all used to buy goji berries for Zhang Chen; the entire refrigerator was filled with them.

These days, he can't even get into a major with high tuition fees; he has to apply for a financial aid program to get into an ordinary major.

"Give me your card number, and I'll transfer your tuition fees to you every academic year," Shen Nianxi said again.

Zhang Chen recited the card number like a robot, and changing college application choices could be done on his phone, which was very easy.

"There are still some doubts about this matter, and Miss Han Su has most likely set her sights on you. If you go to the same university as me, I'll be able to question you."

"call."

After doing all this, Shen Nianxi let out a long sigh of relief.

"I apologize again, hypnotizing you wasn't my intention... although I might try it again in the future..."

Can there still be a hypnosis session?

Miss Shen! Please continue hypnotizing me! I'm really terrified of being poor. I can easily earn my tuition fees by being hypnotized. Turn me into the shape of money!

That's fine.

Shen Nianxi shook the pocket watch again. "Zhang Chen, you will forget everything I told you, forget everything Tu Shan Hansu told you, and you will still be the same person you were before."

"Oh, but remember, a kind and beautiful girl sponsored your college education... just remember that."

"Your head will hurt a little after you wake up, but you'll be fine if you just bear with it."

"receive."

As the girl's lips moved, the pocket watch stopped spinning backward and gradually resumed normal operation.

Zhang Chen felt nothing; he could only clutch his head like Sun Wukong being subjected to a spell.

"Ouch, that hurts! It hurts so much!"

Shen Nianxi was taken aback; she had never seen anyone react so strongly to hypnosis...

Perhaps...it varies from person to person?

Seeing that Zhang Chen didn't have any other symptoms, Shen Nianxi slipped out, looking back every few steps.

As she passed the doorway, she paused and glanced down...

Beside the garbage heap, three fat rats were setting up a battle formation, each holding a pull tab from an aluminum can as a weapon.

They looked at her as if she were a formidable enemy.

Shen Nianxi was amused by this scene and took out her phone to take a picture.

The flash of the camera startled the three fat mice, making them squeak and chatter.

"It's truly remarkable that you've become so intelligent. The company won't do anything to you, but I've already put you on file. If you do anything wrong, you'll be..."

As she spoke, Shen Nianxi playfully made a chop to her neck.

Upon hearing this, the three mice scurried down in a panic, mimicking humans bowing their heads in unison.

"They're pretty savvy, but I just don't understand what you're saying."

"Historically, only that philandering Taoist priest could understand the language of all living beings, but unfortunately he disappeared over three hundred years ago. He's probably long dead by now, isn't he?"

"I don't know how this kind of pervert who likes monsters can be so popular, making every generation of Xuan Yin body possessors fall in love with him like crazy."

"Luckily, I don't like it."

Muttering to herself, Shen Nianxi remembered something and glanced back at the matchmaking agency.

You...don't like it?

No matter how she thought about it, it didn't make sense. Three years of getting along was enough for her to see Zhang Chen's feelings.

Perhaps it's just a matter of low self-esteem, so low self-esteem that one isn't sure if they like someone. In that case, even if they're hypnotized, what they say won't be accurate.

Teenage boys, sigh.

It's just... liking her while also liking another girl, so it's easy to fall in love.

Of course, it doesn't matter to her who Zhang Chen likes, as long as he doesn't get involved with any monsters.

Shen Nianxi, on the other hand, hoped that Zhang Chen could think more positively and like other girls instead.

She didn't discriminate against such affections; it's just that the world she saw was different from that of ordinary people.

In this era, humans and demons are not necessarily on different paths, and poverty and wealth are not necessarily unsolvable, but immortals and mortals are definitely different.

"Sigh~ I'm still too kind~ Never mind, I'm going to be single forever anyway."

The Pure Yang Daoist is completely dead, and no one else can withstand her constitution, which physiologically determines that she will remain single.

"Beep beep beep~"

Just then, the phone rang.

Shen Nianxi answered the call as she walked back.

"Feed?"

"Oh, Miss Hansu has already gone back by car. It's nothing serious. It's just that a Taoist priest recently passed away in Ning'an County, and Miss Hansu mistakenly thought he had a pure Yang Taoist body..."

"Huh? A reclusive demon has registered in Ning'an County? What's his name...?"

"Bai Nuoyan, that's a pretty name..."

The phone hangs up.

Shen Nianxi had just put her phone back in her pocket when she reached out to hail a taxi on the street...

The car's high beams shone on her, blinding her.

For some reason, the name Bai Nuoyan suddenly replayed in her mind, overlapping with Zhang Chen's words.

She froze, forgetting about the taxi, and opened her phone again to check the latest files on yokai entering the world...

"With over a thousand years of cultivation, she has already taken human form... tentatively designated as a cat demon, her mortal identity is that of an eighteen-year-old female student..."

Shen Nianxi looked at that name, her feelings complicated.

Zhang Chen really does like monsters.

...

"Bai Nuoyan, did you pick up my package?"

After Shen Nianxi left, Zhang Chen returned to his old neighborhood and opened Qingmei's door.

The lights were on, but there was no one there.

strangeness.

She pushed the door to Bai Nuoyan's bedroom again, but it was locked.

"Don't open my package, return it to me later."

That was a graduation gift he bought for himself, a "Gentle Cat Girl" plush toy that cost 99 yuan including shipping. He planned to enshrine it and worship it for a few days before using it, as a sign of respect.

There was no response from the bedroom, and Zhang Chen didn't dare to force his way in.

Although he and Bai Nuoyan were childhood sweethearts, their relationship was not very good.

From kindergarten to senior year of high school, he was always disliked and despised by Bai Nuoyan. Compared to childhood sweethearts, he was more like a stupid bamboo and a horseless one.

The advantage is that he can eat and drink well with the beautiful girl. Bai Nuoyan has a bad temper but is loyal. Otherwise, he would starve to death sooner or later with the little money his master gave him.

"I'm leaving now, please don't open the package."

Zhang Chen turned and walked towards his own home. The room he rented was only one bedroom and one bathroom. It wasn't as luxurious as Bai Nuoyan's house. He only rented it because it was close to the high school and convenient for going to school.

I was planning to move out when I went to university.

Little did he know that, after being hypnotized, he received a donation from a wealthy woman and was able to attend Nanjing University, which was even closer to him than his high school.

Then you can rent it for a while longer.

"Creak..."

Pushing open the door, the old wooden door made a sharp sound. Entering the room, there was a bed, and next to the bed was a desk instead of a bedside table. Above the desk was a window.

Living in such a small room for a long time can feel quite oppressive.

But now, it's not a matter of whether it's oppressive or not... the problem is, there's now a pure white cat on his bed.

And the cat was chewing on his underwear.

The man and the cat stared at each other. The cat licked its paws and arrogantly ignored him.

"Grass."

If this cat could turn into a beautiful girl, it would definitely be a succubus imp.
