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

[List of Yokai Included]

You have fulfilled one of Bai Nuoyan's thousand-year-old wishes.

[Reward: Self-Control]

[Self-Control: You can freely control the yang energy in your body, controlling its flow at will. You can also control yang energy that is no longer in your body, even if it has been absorbed by demons or humans...]

These lines of text appeared before Zhang Chen's eyes as soon as he woke up in the morning.

Interact with yokai to increase their affinity, fulfill their wishes, unlock special CGs of their past lives, and receive rewards.

Could it really be a remote corner that gave the Wood System a free pass? He was even thinking of using Poké Balls to catch monsters.

But what's the use of this "self-control"? To control his yang energy? Besides the energy within his body, it can also control the portion absorbed by the monster.

Let's try to restrain the yang energy.

As soon as Zhang Chen had the thought of restraining himself, he immediately felt a certain part of his body shrink...

Holy crap!

Zhang Chen jumped out of bed. "Stop! Don't stop! Release it, release it, release it quickly!"

"Big big!"

The next moment, feeling the continuous power erupting from his dantian, Zhang Chen finally felt relieved.

Although... it's a bit unseemly.

"Knock knock knock!"

At that moment, his wooden door was pounded on and then blasted open.

"Zhang Chen! You really did it?! Are you crazy...?"

Bai Nuoyan rushed in, her clothes disheveled, her shoulders half-exposed, and even a pair of panties hanging between her legs, as if she had only put them on halfway.

Zhang Chen was stunned.

Of course, I'm not looking at the pretty girl's underwear.

In his memory, Bai Nuoyan had never been this nervous.

However, when his and Bai Nuoyan's gazes both shifted to a direction where yang energy was concentrated...

Bai Nuoyan blushed instantly, then bristled and covered her eyes.

"Are you...crazy?! Hurry up and deal with this, it's very dangerous!"

Zhang Chen lay hunched over on the bed, "What's dangerous? It's a normal physiological phenomenon."

"It's not my safe period today, and I didn't bring an umbrella," Bai Nuoyan warned. "Are you planning to add a new member to the family?"

That is indeed very dangerous.

"What are you saying, Bai Nuoyan? There's nothing wrong between us."

Zhang Chen continued crawling in the shadows, while simultaneously controlling the contraction of his body's yang energy.

For safety's sake, it's best to maintain normal routines.

"Are you done yet?" Bai Nuoyan covered only one eye, her fair face flushed with a pink more beautiful than the sunset clouds.

"Don't look at me, I'm shy," Zhang Chen said.

"Pah, pervert."

Bai Nuoyan waited, observing Zhang Chen's condition...

She was surprised to find that Zhang Chen's yang energy had become more restrained, no longer shooting out like a hedgehog as before.

If she hadn't always been by Zhang Chen's side, absorbing whatever he shot, this dead man would have been captured and forced into dual cultivation long ago.

But just now... she could feel the yang energy in Zhang Chen's body pouring out like a giant dragon, to the extent that it was as if Zhang Chen's coordinates were being sent to the whole world.

It sounds a bit bizarre... but that's the truth, just like in The Three-Body Problem where the coordinates of the Trisolarans were sent to the entire universe.

Fortunately, she arrived in time and did her best to absorb the yang energy that Zhang Chen was leaking.

At most, the monsters in the entire Ning'an County now know Zhang Chen's coordinates.

There shouldn't be that many monsters in Ning'an County, right?

And... how could Zhang Chen's thing be so... disgusting?

When she was little, she used to play with it as a cat toy, but she never expected it to change so much in just over ten years.

It's not very clear even through the fabric.

At night, she transforms into a cat and takes a bath with Zhang Chen, then carefully checks to see if anything is wrong.

Anyway, Zhang Chen had forgotten everything and couldn't possibly guess that she was the cat.

Thinking this, Bai Nuoyan, seeing that Zhang Chen had returned to normal, was just about to go outside to see if he had attracted any uninvited guests...

"A sea of ​​suffering—churning with love and hate."

The phone rang right next door.

"You have a phone call," Zhang Chen reminded him.

"You have to say it." Bai Nuoyan glared at him and went back to her room to get her phone.

I glanced at it; it was someone from the company.

"Feed?"

"Hello, Ms. Bai, I am Shen Nianxi, the person in charge of Ning'an City... There was an unusually strong energy fluctuation at your residence just now. Is this related to...?"

"I had a slight mishap while cultivating, it's nothing."

"Oh, that's good. There's one more thing. You reported the sacrifice ceremony at the city hospital last night, right? Was that monster there willing?"

"Yes, it's me... hehe!"

Suddenly, Bai Nuoyan let out a soft snort, her pretty face falling.

She realized with horror that... the demonic power within her body was running rampant and out of control.

Not only did it go berserk, it even tried to break free of its body and become Zhang Chen's yang energy again...

What's going on?!

"Hmm!"

The girl was forced to kneel on the ground, her legs involuntarily spreading apart into a split position, the marks left on the cold ground evaporating in the high temperature.

Her body temperature was also rising rapidly, her face was flushed, and she felt dizzy and lightheaded.

"It's coming out...uh..."

"Miss Bai? What's coming out? Do you need my help?"

"No... please..."

"Miss Bai?!"

The lewd riot suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, and Bai Nuoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems... I'll have to transform into a cat tonight and study Zhang Chen's body. Something must have gone wrong to cause his yang energy to surge.

Consequently, the demonic power within her body also went berserk.

"I'm fine, I was just startled by the cockroach."

"Huh?" came a confused voice from the other end of the phone.

"This is also part of worldly spiritual practice."

"Oh... okay, then I'll go and continue to look into the hospital situation. I won't bother you any longer."

Thank you for your trouble.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Nuoyan tugged at her sweat-soaked pajamas, then looked at the damp patches on the floor...

She bit her lip, rubbing her sore skin, looking quite aggrieved.

"That deadbeat virgin, even his yang energy is so lewd, couldn't he have chosen a normal place to crawl out... He's insane."

...

Meanwhile, feeling guilty, Zhang Chen hurriedly rushed to the matchmaking agency, as it was not advisable to stay at home for long.

Out of curiosity, he wanted to know if Bai Nuoyan had absorbed his yang energy, so he tried to manipulate Bai Nuoyan using [self-control].

The result was... that the monster Qingmei who was with him day and night not only absorbed it, but absorbed a lot, a great deal, an enormous amount!

That's terrifying! When did they inhale that?

He originally wanted to draw the yang energy back.

But then, he heard Bai Nuoyan's painful cry...

Zhang Chen still softened his heart.

After all, they were childhood sweethearts, so I'll still need to work on Bai Nuoyan's affection level to get the defeat CG and rewards.

It doesn't do him any harm at the moment, and his yang energy is like a perpetual motion machine, constantly being produced in his body and never running out.

Great, now physics doesn't exist either.

On his way to the matchmaking agency, Zhang Chen used his phone to search for information about Li Yinuo and Lin Yinmeng.

The system will not record monsters arbitrarily; monsters will only be recorded if the user senses them.

Last night, just as he started playing music and opened the book, the system added three more female demons from his past life.

One of them is Bai Nuoyan.

What about the other two?

The system only includes it, but doesn't provide detailed information, presumably because it hasn't been seen in reality.

Zhang Chen hadn't initially suspected the books and music, but Bai Nuoyan's comment, "It's at least several hundred years old," made him wary.

Just because he couldn't tell it was a monster doesn't mean Bai Nuoyan couldn't.

While searching for information online, I received a call from an unknown number. I accidentally answered it, and a shrill male voice came from the other end:

"Zhang Chen? You finally accepted. In another half month, everyone will go their separate ways. Don't be rude."

"Come to Balala KTV at noon. Shen Nianxi will only come if you come. You're familiar with her, so please put in a good word for me."

"I was just joking last time, don't take it to heart. Here's the deal, I'll give you..."

I can tell.

The person who made the call was Huang Yiming, who was always the one in the class who loved to show off his wealth and act pretentious.

In high school, Huang Yiming often tried to bribe him with small favors to help him deliver gifts and love letters to Shen Nianxi, but he always refused.

Zhang Chen didn't think much of it; he was just considering Shen Nianxi's feelings. Shen Nianxi had clearly stated that she didn't want to be in a relationship, and this kind of persistent pestering was too disgusting for her.

But who knew that at the last class reunion, Huang Yiming took advantage of him going to the restroom to lead the mockery, saying that he had been a simp for Shen Nianxi for three years, and even though he couldn't get her, he still protected her and prevented others from pursuing her. He said that being poor meant being poor in spirit, and that's why he did terribly on the college entrance exam...

Those present at the time didn't speak up for him; they just smiled along.

However, Zhang Chen took it in stride. He was a test-taker from a small town, a low-scoring kid, from a poor family, and an orphan. It was normal that no one spoke up for him.

But similarly, those who remained silent all finished their scenes in his script.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen took a deep breath and replied:

"I won't buy insurance."

"Not Zhang Chen? Dude, let's talk nicely, you step..."

Without giving the other party a chance to say more, I hung up the phone.

Completely severing ties was already Zhang Chen's biggest concession.

It's not worth getting angry at petty people.

Unbeknownst to him, he arrived at the entrance of the matchmaking agency and heard a shout:

"Hey! The fortune teller's here!"

"Little fortune teller! Little fortune teller, you've finally arrived!"

"Tell us, where is this girl from? How old is she? What kind of boys does she like?"

Zhang Chen was harassed by several elderly people.

Most of the people there are elderly men and women who live nearby. They come to the matchmaking agency to arrange marriages for their children whenever they have free time.

"Who is it?"

"That girl by the door, wow, she's a real fairy! She said she's here for a blind date, why didn't you introduce her to us sooner?"

Zhang Chen followed the gaze of the elderly people.

There stood a stunningly beautiful figure, dressed in a white dress, standing quietly and aloof under the eaves.

Every gesture she makes is so beautiful it seems to tear this sweltering summer apart.

The young woman waved her hand to politely decline the old man's question, but no matter how aloof she acted, she couldn't stop the old man from thinking about his children's future.

"I actually have a fiancé, I'm sorry."

"Wow! Getting married at such a young age?"

"...I am more than a thousand years older than you."

"I'm over seventy, can you be older than me? You tell jokes, huh? Oh, what a funny young lady! Only have a fiancé, so you're not married yet? Not married means single! This is my son, look at him..."

"Landlady! We agreed to wait for Xiao Chen to come before we started matchmaking, why are you breaking the rules?!"

"Old Zhao, with your son's looks, do you think any girl would even look at him?! My son studies the mechanics of porcelain!"

"Porcelain mechanics, my foot! I asked my son, he's just a waiter, isn't he?"

"..."

Helpless, Tu Shan Han Su took a few light steps and left the circle of the old people, arriving in front of Zhang Chen in two quick strides.

Then, amidst the noise, she affectionately took his arm and, as if she had done it countless times before, rested her head on his shoulder.

Her voice was incredibly ethereal:

He is my fiancé.

The soft fragrance enveloped Zhang Chen, who was startled and looked down at the girl for a moment.

Tu Shan Han Su looked at him with cold eyes, unable to discern the truth from falsehood.

But Zhang Chen suddenly realized...

His future life will be infinitely more exciting than that of those who look down on him.
