After school, he was then offered himself to a succubus

If it were him now, he would only be thinking about getting a back massage, and wouldn't care about this "bitter love tree" nonsense.

However... without the Bitter Love Tree, it seems impossible to have a truly enjoyable back massage.

Could it be that I've actually been playing a grand game, planning and scheming for two thousand years, all for the sake of making dumplings now?

Where are the dumplings?

All he saw was... the banshees were all going to be sent.

"Zhang Chen." Suddenly, Xiaolongniang shook his hand.

"how?"

"No."

"Zhang Chen?"

"what's up?"

"It's nothing."

"Zhang Chen..."

"If there's anything you need to say, you can just say it."

Long Luoyang shook her head and placed Zhang Chen's hand on her chest:

"When I call Zhang Chen's name, my heart feels so good."

Direct electricity!

Just kidding, how could I possibly have any evil thoughts at a time like this? I'm just incredibly cute and soft-hearted.

"Lord Long..."

At this moment, Jiang Rou ran out from where she had taken shelter from the rain. The girl was soaked to the bone, and it seemed that she had been looking for Long Luoyang when the rain started.

But when this consistently enthusiastic young woman arrived in front of Zhang Chen, and saw where his hand was placed...

The girl's pupils contracted instantly and gradually lost their luster.

"You...you, what are you doing? How could you do this to a little girl..."

"Hua Hua." Long Luoyang released Zhang Chen's hand, walked up to Jiang Rou, and pointed at Zhang Chen like a child tattled on him:

"Zhang Chen, H."

"Zhang Chen! You've gone too far!" Jiang Rou was almost in tears. "I know you're very capable, and that rat was sent by you to spy on me, right..."

"I appreciate it that you used it to heal my wounds, but you can't do this... She's still a child!"

“She’s over 1,500 years old…” Zhang Chen explained.

"No way! She's still so young... I know just as much as you do. Little Dragon was like this when she first took human form. How could you defile such a holy and sacred monster?"

"If you absolutely must take action against her, then you might as well take me with you!"

The girl bit her lower lip tightly, closed her eyes nervously, and showed an expression of resignation.

"I never thought that the Pure Yang Daoist would benefit scum like you... Ugh... Come on, if you insist on this, then act quickly, and I will have nothing more to say... Justice will never be absent."

"..."

Miss Jiang, your sense of justice is just too overwhelming.

“Actually, I am him.” Zhang Chen scratched his head.

Flower girl, don't look back, I am Xiaoyangren.

"Chunyang Daoist isn't a loli fetishist! You're not allowed to slander him!" Jiang Rou was truly furious and cried. "Now I know why that person's reputation was ruined—it's because of people like you spreading rumors!"

"..."

"Alright." Zhang Chen didn't need to reveal his identity to Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang was a top fan even among star-chasing groups.

"I'll have to trouble you to take care of her tonight, as I can't take her in for the time being."

"Hmph... I've let you take me in, and now you're all set..." Jiang Rou pulled Long Luoyang back, looking at him with extreme wariness.

The three or five little dragon girls still looked bewildered yet adorable.

"Jiang Rou, I need to talk to you."

"What... Let me tell you, I just got in touch with Li Yinuo and Lin Yinmeng. I... I was hired by them. I'm not without connections..."

"Oh, you wrote those posts on Zhihu?"

"Yes, yes," Jiang Rou said, forcing herself to speak, even though her small chest was already heaving violently with her disordered and tense breathing.

The wet feet, struggling under the weight of the rainwater in their mesh shoes, made squelching sounds along with the socks.

I'm soaking wet, and I'm feeling hot and cold all the time. Right now, I'm feeling hot and bothered. If this keeps up, I'll probably catch a cold.

Putting aside her somewhat single-mindedness, the young lady truly embodied the principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness in both knowledge and action.

"Would you like to change your clothes first?"

"I won't change. What if you take advantage of me while I'm changing and... do something to Lord Long?"

"Actually... if I really wanted to do something, you couldn't stop me."

"Waaah..." Jiang Rou sobbed, the timidity inherent in the little girl's bones causing her to weep at this moment.

"I don't believe your organization would even harm humans... I will stay with her and you mustn't hurt her!"

Zhang Chen glanced helplessly at Long Luoyang.

Little Dragon Girl blinked and slapped Jiang Rou's bottom.

Suddenly, as if slapped so hard it ripped her soul out of her body, water droplets splashed out from Jiang Rou's body...

The damp girl has become clean and refreshed again.

"Well!"

Jiang Rou clutched her bottom and cried out softly, staggering a couple of times before Zhang Chen caught her.

When their eyes met, Jiang Rou was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Thank you..."

For some reason, she was powerless against Zhang Chen's gaze; after just two seconds of eye contact, her breathing became erratic.

"Don't just spank people randomly, a light pat on the shoulder is enough," Zhang Chen said helplessly to Long Luoyang.

“Oh, but Zhang Chen was staring at Hua Hua’s butt the whole time,” Little Dragon Girl said without any restraint, “which is why I patted Hua Hua’s butt.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou's eyes welled up with tears, and she dared not look at him.

Zhang Chen slapped his forehead, "I was checking to see if she was showing too much skin; wet clothes are easy to see through..."

“H.” Little Dragon Girl pointed at him with her index finger.

"..."

After explaining for quite a while, Jiang Rou, who was not unreasonable, roughly understood that Zhang Chen had no ill intentions.

The two people and the dragon sat on a deck chair next to the running track on the playground.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief.

She genuinely didn't want to believe that... a cultivator who could raise such adorable monsters would be a pervert.

Fortunately, he was a good person.

"Then you..."

"We've taken our pants off together," Long Luoyang said, holding Zhang Chen's arm.

"..."

"No, we're just friends."

"So, Zhang Chen, are you some kind of incredibly powerful cultivator? Are you some kind of hidden dragon king in the city? Otherwise, how come you have such a good relationship with Lord Long..."

Jiang Rou's imagination is too wild.

"No, if I had to say, I'd say I'm about the same as you," Zhang Chen said.

"You also want to marry Daoist Chunyang?" Jiang Rou's eyes widened, and Zhang Chen then noticed that the girl's pupils had a very special color and shape.

It resembles a heart-shaped, pale pink flower, or a love knot symbolizing a happy marriage.

Zhang Chen knew that this was what the bitter love tree flower looked like.

Could it be that... the seed is hidden in Jiang Rou's eyes?

Does that mean he's going to cosplay as an Uchiha?

Give me your eyes, Jiang Rou! I will live on with your eyes!

Amaterasu!

Is it a bit late to open one's eyes at this age?

"..."

Jiang Rou had no idea what Zhang Chen was thinking; she only knew that Zhang Chen was suddenly staring into her eyes with such deep affection...

She lowered her head, a forced smile on her face, her small hands nervously rubbing her thighs.

It seems like they're after her.

“I’m not gay, why would I marry him…” Zhang Chen finally spoke up.

Oh no! Telling a girl I'm not gay is practically a confession!

"Oh, cough cough... Zhang Chen, although we disagree on politics, you hate Chunyang Daoist and I like Chunyang Daoist, I still think you are a good person." Jiang Rou tried to refuse tactfully.

"Those who are friendly with monsters are not bad people."

"If I have the chance, I'll make you like him too. He's a very respectable person! You believe me!"

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly.

"Hmm...so what do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Rou wiped away the tears that had just welled up in her eyes from the fright, then sat up straight with a serious expression, ready to listen.

That's what makes her so likable, Zhang Chen thought. This girl is great in every way, except she's a hopeless romantic.
