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

Chapter 75 All Paths Are Paths (5K)

"Zhang Chen, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bullied you like that."

"What should you call me?"

"Zhang, Zhang Chen."

"Did you always call me by my full name like this before?"

"We used to call him 'boss' or 'master'."

"So you're still being stubborn? I think you need a good beating."

"No, please." Li Yinuo said, but her smooth, silky tail swayed like a small fan, leaving afterimages.

The "Immortal Mode" can be activated instantly, but it only lasts for ten minutes.

He originally intended to demonstrate his divine power to Tu Shan Han Su yesterday, but thankfully he didn't have to.

Like Bai Nuoyan, Tu Shan Han Su was too powerful, and when she went to her full strength, she was easily countered and directly refined.

For someone like Li Yinuo, who is stubborn but easily swayed, it had an unexpected effect.

Yes, yes, this is what it feels like to take a dump. These unrestrained female demons think that just because he has lost his memory and cultivation, he can do whatever he wants.

They even wanted to take advantage of his illness to kill him.

Although the way to kill him was rather erotic, it wasn't about shortening his life, but about giving birth to several other people.

"You remembered everything?" Seeing that he was still not spanking her, the girl with long, straight black hair had no choice but to sit on the ground like a duck, looking at him pitifully with innocent puppy eyes.

The wolf's ears were grayish-white, one standing upright and the other drooping.

"I remember for now," Zhang Chen lied. "I remember everything you did to me, and I'll recover someday."

"Oh." Li Yinuo blinked. "Then remember this: since you can't beat me now, I can have as many litters as I want."

"Who says I can't beat you?"

"I could beat him in bed, though." Li Yinuo tilted her head innocently, her tail wagging in the other direction. "Could you be a little gentler, Zhang Chen?"

"You should call him Master."

"No," Li Yinuo said expressionlessly. "Betraying one's master and ancestors is a tradition."

"Never mind, time is limited," Zhang Chen said, feigning profundity. "Do you still recognize the flower fairy of the Bitter Love Tree?"

"I know you. You often urinate on the Bitter Love Tree. The more you urinate, the more it blooms and becomes a spirit."

Damn it.

"Wrong? You weren't faking it after all?" Li Yinuo climbed up on all fours, sniffing around in Zhang Chen's arms. "I was lying on purpose, but you saw through it."

I was terrified and cried. Thank goodness it was fake. I thought it was real and that bizarre.

"You really do smell the same as you did a thousand years ago; it's awful."

"Bear with it."

"Waaah, Zhang Chen, don't punish me!" she cried out emotionlessly. "But if you punish me now, I'll punish you back when you turn back."

"Call me Master." Zhang Chen was still trying to salvage his image.

"Shi Hu," Li Yinuo did as instructed.

"Pronounce your words more clearly."

"No, because my throat is used so often, my vocal cords are damaged, so it's normal for my pronunciation to be unclear." Li Yinuo shook her head and refused.

"You're not Lin Yinmeng, singing every day. What kind of voice do you usually use?"

Li Yinuo stuck out her tongue and licked her lips at him.

Zhang Chen covered his face.

He's not here to repay a debt of gratitude. It turns out he didn't have a good relationship with these female demons in the past. So what is Li Yinuo after?

"You've already died once trying to plant that tree." The girl's tone suddenly softened.

"Zhang Chen, I don't want you to die."

"And what about you? You can't save the tree, you can't even reincarnate," Zhang Chen retorted.

"Die," Li Yinuo said honestly. "I'm a really, really old dog now, that's enough, Zhang Chen."

"The puppy is already very content to have a litter of puppies before it dies."

Li Yinuo looked at him calmly, and although she spoke so simply, Zhang Chen could feel the bitterness and helplessness in her words.

Like stray dogs on the street, seeing how happy those dogs with owners are, they can only stand and watch, whimper a few times, smell the happiness, and continue to scavenge for food in their own garbage dump.

She was used to this kind of disappointment.

Do you think it's cruel of me to think this way?

Li Yinuo pouted.

"But you've been gone from me for so long, and I never felt you were cruel."

Zhang Chen was speechless for a moment.

For a moment, loneliness seemed to take shape in Li Yinuo.

"The flower spirit of the Bitter Love Tree is the seed of the tree," she said. "But when the tree dies, the flower spirit dies too, and you can't find it anymore."

"Zhang Chen, I don't want to, and I can't take any more of this."

"When you first left, the puppy would roll around on your bed every day. It smelled so much of you. The puppy was so happy when it smelled it, like it was trying to be affectionate with you."

"You, in your dead state, already took me with you while I was still alive. Do you want to take me away again?"

Li Yinuo's gaze wandered, filled with desolation. Hesitantly, she looked at Zhang Chen and asked, "So, you really have to go?"

"Yes."

"If you can't do that within a year, then come back and stay with me, have children with me, okay?"

"Let's make a deal now." Li Yinuo pulled a yellowed piece of paper from her desk. It turned out to be a pre-prepared agreement. "Drip your blood."

"Even if you forget, this agreement will still be in effect. It's a blood pact, and even you can't resist it."

Before Zhang Chen could say anything, the girl anxiously bit his finger. A sharp pain shot through her fingertip, and a drop of blood fell onto the yellow paper.

The parchment suddenly became hot and glowed with a bloody light.

[List of Yokai Included]

[Included: Spirit (Bitter Love Tree Paper)]

[Note: Paper made from the withered branches of the Bitter Love Tree can serve as a contract for renewing a past relationship. Those who disobey will be cursed by the Pure Yang Daoist, including the Pure Yang Daoist himself.]

Oh no, I curse myself.

However, even if you spend a year planting trees, you can still manage to plant them well.

Just as Zhang Chen was thinking this, he saw Li Yinuo holding the contract paper with a malicious smile on her face.

"Okay, it's settled then. If you can't do it within a week, you'll have to stay with me for a whole year."

"We'll keep going and going, taking turns resting and sleeping. As long as one of us is awake, we can love each other forever."

"Anyway, it's okay for monsters not to eat. You won't die because you have yang energy. One pregnancy isn't enough. You have to keep having quadruplets."

"?"

Zhang Chen was stunned, and snatched the yellow paper to examine it carefully.

It was discovered that the word "one year" written on the paper had been crossed out by a line so thin it was barely visible to the naked eye, and in its place, a tiny "one week" was written in the lower left corner.

Holy crap, there are even dual contracts.

Give me back my tears.

"Just pretend I was lying to you." She stood up and hugged him tightly again.

"I've had enough, Zhang Chen. I know playing the victim won't soften your heart, so this is the only way."

"You're so hot, just like before. It hurts so much whenever I hold you."

"It's no use if you hate me, I don't care."

"I only want you."

"This year has been enough for me to reflect on those memories. I will write down all the stories so that people around the world can see what we once were."

"If enough people see this, then I guess I'm living on in another way."

"You were with that fox this morning, weren't you? And that bird yesterday? And even with Xiaoxi? You still smell like a cat, Zhang Chen. Have you forgotten what I am? Do you think I can't smell it? I have to put up with the smell of other monsters on you every day. Every time you leave, I feel nauseous all night. But if I don't do this, I feel so uncomfortable. My heart aches so much. You are a real scumbag. You say you don't like me, but you are still such a scoundrel. You are irresponsible. But you were the first person I saw when I was born. There are other monsters in your world, but there is only you in mine."

"The first baby will probably be a boy, so let's name him Wangcai. The eldest will definitely be the most sensible. The second one will be a girl, so let's name her Wangfu. She will definitely be very clingy, even more clingy than I was back then. I can't guess whether the third one will be a boy or a girl. You can choose the name later. The fourth one will most likely be the naughtiest. If he is naughty, you have to be willing to spank him."

"Also, puppies can't eat chocolate or drink alcohol. You have to warn anyone who's tempted by it. Puppies are also easily fooled. Give them a piece of bread and they'll be loyal to that person for life. You have to feed them well so they won't be fooled by outsiders."

Zhang Chen didn't hear what Li Yinuo said next.

Actually, I just didn't want to hear it.

He would have to do these things sooner or later, but not now. Right now, the most important thing is Li Yinuo herself.

Once Zhang Chen's body temperature returned to normal, the girl with long, straight black hair stopped murmuring, but didn't let go.

"You just had a mental breakdown," she sobbed. "You said you were coming to have my baby in a week."

"You signed the document with your blood, and you will lose your ability to move after a certain time."

Zhang Chen glanced at the contract again but didn't say anything.

It's obvious that even if it wasn't done this way, Li Yinuo had planned it all along; a week was the limit the puppy could endure.

Unlike Tu Shan Han Su and Bai Nuo Yan, Li Yinuo seemed to have long given up on the possibility of reviving the Bitter Love Tree and instead focused her energy on writing books.

Zhang Chen hadn't noticed these past few days; he assumed that Li Yinuo hadn't discovered it because she didn't say anything.

It smells like other monsters.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Chen turned around and hugged her, rubbing her tail and soothing her sensitive ears.

The girl was slightly startled, dodged away, and then bit his hand that was groping her.

"There's no going back now," she said.

"I'm thinking, if we really have a child, it would be better if you could name it. You're a writer, so you're quite cultured," Zhang Chen said.

Li Yinuo paused slightly, loosening her grip on his hand a little.

"I only care about giving birth, not raising them."

"Whether you raise them or not, I have to go plant trees," Zhang Chen said.

"Just one week." Li Yinuo climbed off him, tidying the stray hairs around her neck. "If you can't do it, you'll have puppies with me."

"I can find the flower fairy."

"No, that won't do." Li Yinuo's eyes dimmed. "Flowers wither when they leave the tree, just like that peach blossom fairy. She used to think about searching for the person she missed."

"But after only a few hours away, she began to wither."

"Therefore, I had no choice but to move that grave to the peach tree."

"The reason why the tree of love is called the tree of love is because it only witnesses painful love affairs, and there is always a price to pay for continuing the previous relationship."

What if?

Flower fairies are the seeds of trees; they wither when separated from the tree.

But if the flower fairy knew this, she chose to reproduce with humans in order to continue the lineage.

Older gingers are more spicy.

"I'll stay a little longer. Can you tell me more about the Bitter Love Tree?" Zhang Chen removed the ring from her neck.

Wearing it like this all the time isn't good.

He had to admit that he couldn't resist the genuine emotions he had just expressed.

The one who isn't moved is gay.

He thought that activating the immortal mode would make the female demons obedient and compliant, but after trying it twice, he realized that this "invitation of the gods" actually gave him and the demons a chance to reveal their true feelings.

The information provided by the past is limited to his perspective, but at that time he only spent a few years or decades with them.

The succubi searched for him and waited for him for over a thousand years. During this time, there were many things that the system was unable to tell him.

If the Bitter Love Tree could truly look back, it would definitely want to experience firsthand their feelings at that time.

"In a thousand years, I've been to Tushan a thousand times," Li Yinuo said, sitting down beside him. "I've kowtowed ten thousand times under the Bitter Love Tree, but it has never helped me."

"Placing your hopes on the bitter love tree is foolish."

"That tree can at most restore your lifespan to that of a normal person..."

99

Dengdengdeng.

Zhang Chen paused for a moment, and Li Yinuo also froze, falling silent.

I let it slip.

The puppy meant that he didn't have much time left to live, at least less than a normal person.

That's true. Of my more than two thousand years of life, not a single drop is truly mine.

All of them were monsters who extended his life in various ways.

In that case, even if he shares a fate with the monsters, it's all in vain. If he were to live even shorter than the monsters, that would be ridiculous.

No wonder Lin Yinmeng didn't look like she had just survived a disaster; the female demons were still busy running around for him every day.

Perhaps even Lin Yinmeng, after leaving behind offspring, would not choose to live on.

"How exactly did you extend my lifespan?" Zhang Chen was a bit exasperated. "Isn't it only cats that can have their lives extended?"

Li Yinuo pursed her lips, lay down on her nap bed, and said, "The puppy needs to sleep, humans, go away."

Zhang Chen looked out the window and realized it was noon again.

He decided to stay overnight and get some sleep; his intuition told him that Li Yinuo needed comfort right now.

He then lay down on his side behind the girl, acting like a spoiled child.

I tossed and turned in bed.

"I'll wash myself properly next time I come," Zhang Chen said, his voice strained.

"No matter how you wash it, it will still smell, unless you can resist the urge to do 'that' with other monsters."

"No, not really."

"Does it not count if it's not completely gone? Then biting off half of it doesn't count as biting it off either. Here, take it out. I'm going through the process of losing my baby teeth."

It's truly chilling.

"Or, find that snake," Li Yinuo added. "She can purify everything, turning all liquids into the purest water, and she can also remove the smell from your body."

"Where did this snake come from?"

"A greedy snake that loves to make it rain everywhere."

"You should be glad that we have a common goal now, so we haven't started fighting." Her tail tickled Zhang Chen restlessly.

"If you still smell bad in the future, I'll only use my tail to help you, otherwise I'll be suffocated by the stench."

It is not impossible.

"When will you finish writing your book?" Zhang Chen changed the subject to her.

This trip wasn't in vain; Li Yinuo's long-cherished wish remains rooted in writing.

And, it turns out that Jiang Rou is the seed of the Bitter Love Tree.

"That depends on how hard you try to get me pregnant." Li Yinuo turned over to face him. "The more pregnant you are, the faster you'll write."

"I'm hungry." She didn't want the conversation to stay with her, so she nudged Zhang Chen's chin with her head.

"The cafeteria should still be open. Shall I go buy you some food?"

"Not this kind of hunger."

"Didn't you find it annoying?"

"It's not that I'm hungry."

"What is that?"

Li Yinuo blinked her innocent puppy eyes and slowly crawled from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed until she turned around completely.

Almost half a day has passed.

Zhang Chen's face turned into a blank expression, with his facial muscles twitching.

Li Yinuo is so stingy. She's unwilling to spend more money to buy a leak-proof air conditioner. Is it really necessary?

I need to get to know that snake demon quickly and get rid of its smell as soon as possible, otherwise I'll be expressionless every day.

"President! You've been sleeping all day! By the way, why did you install soundproofing foam? Now it's really an office."

Zhang Chen had just pushed the door open a crack when he heard Ye Zhi calling from outside.

"There's that event tonight, didn't you want to meet that blogger from Zhihu? Should I go in your place or will you go yourself?"

"That's right!"

"She's, uh, resting." Zhang Chen poked his head out and found that he wasn't speaking very fluently; his tongue seemed to be tied in knots.

The girl with glasses froze, almost screaming again, but thankfully she had seen this kind of scene more than once before and managed to cover her mouth in time.

The other girls in the club were used to it; they glanced at each other and whispered amongst themselves.

"What are you doing!" Ye Zhi slapped him. "How could you stay inside all day? What did you do to Yinuo?!"

"Are you going to some kind of social event? Let's go."

"You're going too? You already have Yinuo, what else do you want?"

The girl with glasses hugged herself warily. "Move aside, move aside, I need to talk to Yinuo, don't block my way."

However, when the girl with glasses squeezed into the room, she saw a girl with long, straight black hair lying face down on the bed, shivering as if she were very cold, wrapped in a quilt.

Ye Zhi's face turned pale, and she silently closed the door.

"What, what did you do?" The girl with glasses stared at him, almost bursting into tears.

Zhang Chen tried to put on a warm smile, but his face was expressionless, so his smile looked stiff.

Ye Zhi's eyes reddened as she looked at his smile.
