Oblivious to the grave danger lurking, I blissfully headed to school as usual—completely unaware I was already on demons’ radar from all directions.
Anyway, numerous formidable demons—some intent on devouring me, others on forcing dual cultivation—were already closing in on the city.
“Big Brother, can you *please* skip the chocolate for breakfast?”
At the breakfast shop door, I strained to move inside, but my body wouldn’t budge. Fox Demon and I were locked in a serious food feud: she demanded chocolate bread; I wanted steamed buns. Neither would yield.
[“Don’t resist me, human! Know your place!”]
“Big Sister! Where am I even supposed to find chocolate bread this early? How about I just buy you a chocolate bar?”
Hearing her temper flare, I instantly backed down. No way was I letting her strip me again in public.
[“That’s more like it.”]
After devouring her eighteenth chocolate bar, Fox Demon finally licked her lips in satisfaction. Total torture for me—not only five yuan per bar, but the calories alone were killing me!
She got the taste; my stomach took the hit. At this rate… wasn’t I turning into Zhu Bajie?
“So… how exactly do you plan to lure Brother Shan?”
Walking toward class, one thought hammered me: this morning’s warning meant no more delays. If I ended up looking like that mirror reflection, everything was ruined.
[“Yesterday, this queen crammed your memories on modern romance. Your desk mate? A hopeless singleton. Perfect. Human attraction stems from instinct. You pose as a girl, message him on QQ, and leave the rest to me.”]
I got it: fake girl account, catfish Brother Shan into meeting, then let Fox Demon drain his spiritual energy.
Honestly? Might actually work. But I couldn’t help wondering—what would she do with Class Rep Hanhan?
I’d never even seen her hold a phone, let alone use QQ.
Compared to Brother Shan, I was way more curious how Fox Demon would seduce Class Rep Hanhan, that ice-cold beauty. Let’s be clear: this had *nothing* to do with me being a pervert!
I’m a victim too! Since both targets need handling… as a guy, of course I’d be more excited about luring a girl.
[“What’re you thinking? Your cheeks feel kinda warm.”]
“Haha, nothing! Just wondering how you’ll handle Class Rep Hanhan.”
[“We’ll cross that bridge later. For now—focus on class. After last night, this queen’s soul is drained. Resting all day. Don’t get any funny ideas.”]
At the classroom door, Fox Demon yawned inside my head. Moments ago, she was whining like a little girl for chocolate… and now?
Eat, sleep, eat, sleep—you’re gonna become a fat fox someday.
“Well, well, Brother Shan! Here early?”
Stepping inside, my eyes locked onto my “wonderful” desk mate. He spotted me instantly.
Our gazes collided—two heated beams sparking something strange in the air.
*Ahem…* Don’t misunderstand. My intensity came from sensing the spiritual energy Fox Demon mentioned. Yesterday, after absorbing someone, I didn’t notice it. But now…
The scent drifting from my “dear” desk mate was intoxicating—like century-aged vintage wine. I swallowed hard.
But why was Yushan’s stare so fiery? Probably anger. I *had* been rude yesterday.
“Su, care to explain yesterday? Get dumped and decide to flirt with everyone?”
The second I sat, accusations rained down.
“I don’t even *have* a girlfriend! Just pretend I was possessed. I didn’t mean it.”
“Possessed? Hah. Should I call a Taoist priest?”
“I’m serious! Believe it or not! But I was wrong yesterday. To make up for it… wanna meet a pretty girl?”
*Right—mission.* I pivoted fast. While Fox Demon slept, my job was to lure Yushan out Saturday.
“Really? You’d introduce a girl to *me* first? Who?”
At “girl,” Yushan’s eyes lit up. Forgetting yesterday’s drama, he leaned in with a grin.
“Obviously my… my *female* cousin! Who else? Interested? If yes, she’ll add you on QQ tonight.”
“Well… is she good-looking?”
“Willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips—the kind of beauty that makes anyone stop and stare. Someone like you? One glance and you’d tremble head to toe.”
“Huh? Why does that description sound… weirdly familiar?”
