After school, he was then offered himself to a succubus

“That’s right, but our Yinuo loves animals. What if this dog gets trampled in such a crowded place?” the girl with glasses said.

"Isn't that what I'm doing, holding it?" Li Yu chimed in, trying to sound the buddy. "Don't worry, beautiful lady, my brother can definitely handle this dog. By the way, I'm a dog lover too, we should have plenty to talk about..."

"Woof!"

Before Li Yu could finish speaking, the puppy in Zhang Chen's arms suddenly barked, and before he could react, it darted away...

Moreover, they went straight to the place where the crowd was most concentrated, which was the end of the line, the headquarters for recruiting new members of the literary society.

"Hey!" The girl with glasses was startled, her face turning pale. "Quickly, bring the dog back!"

Li Yu was stunned and looked abruptly at Zhang Chen, "Brother, you're not just acting, are you?"

Zhang Chen smiled wryly. After all, this dog was a monster, and he couldn't control it if it really wanted to run away.

"Oh dear..." the girl with glasses exclaimed anxiously, "Don't just stand there!"

"Oh, catch the dog! Catch the dog!" Li Yu darted out, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect to the crowd like a gangster boss. "Ah, everyone, please make way! We have a lost dog. Watch your step!"

Zhang Chen followed at a leisurely pace. He wasn't worried about what would happen to the dog; the monster had thick skin and couldn't be penetrated by bullets.

A moment later, he activated [Enhancement], focusing his yang energy on his eyes, and quickly found the dog through the crowd...

However, he also saw another monster.

[List of Yokai Included]

[Previous female demon character already included: Wolf Demon (Li Yinuo)]

[Triggering past events]

A thousand years ago, nomadic cavalry, leading demons from the north, marched south into the Central Plains, plunging the land into chaos. Famine and plague ravaged the land, with people resorting to cannibalism and demons eating people.

Nomadic cavalry take pleasure in killing, while northern demons revel in cannibalism.

Powerless to reverse the tide, you retreated into seclusion, becoming a wandering swordsman in the desert, guarding the last vestiges of peace.

By chance, you witnessed the rise and fall of a wolf demon tribe. The desert wolf king, defying human control, drank poison and died, leaving behind the wolf cub in his womb.

You saved this wolf demon and, exceptionally, fed her your life essence.

You saw the wolf king's ferocity and hope to raise this wolf demon so that it can one day lead the demons of the North again and no longer collude with human tyrants...

The special CG ends here.

Zhang Chen was stunned; there was nothing surprising about the CG itself.

To his surprise, he had already seen this special CG in a book.

It's Li Yinuo's new book that was just released a while ago.

...

"Be careful not to step on it!"

A commotion broke out in the crowd, and a small dog ran wildly towards a girl with long, straight black hair.

Strangely, the puppy, which had been running wild in the crowd, became instantly docile when it reached the girl's feet, with only its tail wagging so fast that it left a blurry afterimage.

The girl with long, straight black hair picked it up and stroked it to soothe it.

"You've worked hard." The girl rubbed the dog's head and murmured softly. Just by hearing her voice, one could imagine her beauty.

Unfortunately, the girl was wearing a mask and a black baseball cap with the brim pulled down, casting a shadow over her beautiful eyes.

Her outfit was rather ordinary compared to her overall demeanor: a simple black short-sleeved shirt and trousers, with a dog's head pattern sewn onto the shirt.

But even in ordinary attire, her stunning figure couldn't be hidden.

"President!"

The girl with glasses rushed over and, seeing the puppy being held in Li Yinuo's arms, immediately felt nervous.

"I'm sorry... I meant to let that person take the dog away first, but the dog suddenly ran off and I couldn't stop it."

"It's okay." Li Yinuo sat down with the dog in her arms and started playing cross-eyed with it, looking quite adorable. "I'll watch it. Xiao Ye, you continue organizing the answers."

Upon hearing this, the bespectacled girl, called "Xiao Ye," sighed.

"President, a lot of people are just here to join in the fun..."

"Yes, that's hard work."

"President, what I mean is, our literary society isn't short of people, is it? How about we just call it quits?"

"Wait a minute." Li Yinuo lifted the brim of her hat slightly, revealing a pair of purple, star-like eyes.

Upon closer inspection, their eyes were strikingly similar to those of the puppy in her arms, exuding a captivating charm.

Li Yinuo glanced at the crowd for a while, her gaze softening, and then lowered the brim of her hat.

It was suppressed... but not completely suppressed.

Strangely, Li Yinuo's baseball cap was pushed up, revealing a wisp of hair that looked very anime-like.

And the ahoge (cowlick) on the top of this girl's long, straight black hair suddenly started wagging like a puppy's tail.

It was as if she had finally seen her owner after many years, and her emotions were overflowing.

"The person I've been waiting for has arrived."

"what?"

Chapter 17 Which is more important, finding a partner or making money?

"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 queuing."

"You can find a dog like this on the street? Are stray dogs really that clean?"

"It might have become sentient; it can take baths by itself."

"Wait a minute, you didn't research Li Yinuo's preferences beforehand, did you? Knowing she likes dogs, you specially picked up a dog from the roadside, washed it, and brought 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 the dog to her to get her contact information, and chat about dog ownership every day, gradually building up your relationship, and eventually turning online chatting into online dating?! You've just managed to win 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 planning to contact Li Yinuo, but it's not 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 Tu Shan Han Su's CG was first unlocked, the system explained that some of the female demons from his past life had missing memories, and their memories would only be restored if he recruited them or unlocked the CG.

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 is a monster even more powerful than the two of them, like a dragon or something, that slaps them 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 waiting in line for so long," Zhang Chen shrugged.

"That's true." Li Yu said without any opinion. "Actually, that girl with glasses was quite 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.
