CHAPTER 1575: CHAPTER 1576: TOFU TASTES DELICIOUS

Liang Zi has always been by your side, not particularly interested in coffee, but seeing everyone else enjoying it, he got himself a cup. Just as he took a sip before swallowing, you whispered something in his ear, causing Liang Zi to spit everything out, splattering all over the Heavenly Fox’s face. This was the first time since its debut that the Heavenly Fox had been made to look so embarrassed.

Moreover, without time to apologize, Liang Zi blurted out something that made everyone there beat their chests and stamp their feet: "Damn! This stuff is made from cat poop, aren’t we eating shit!"

This was the first time you outsmarted the Heavenly Fox in something other than physical strength and combat, secretly relishing the moment.

Tofu was invented by the Han Dynasty’s alchemist King Huainan and has been a beloved food of the Chinese people for over two thousand years. Your fondness for it is not without reason. I won’t elaborate here; readers can search on Baidu themselves. Oh, and if you have time, search for "Raising Foxes for Trouble" as well.

After taking Chen Susu into the store, you directly told the shop owner: "Boss, two bowls of sweet tofu pudding."

The shop’s decor was simple but clean, and there were many people inside. When you brought Chen Susu in, you attracted quite a few side glances.

The two of you chose a seat by the window, where there were fewer people around. However, the store was filled with conversations, making it hard for anyone nearby to eavesdrop.

"Bro, how did you know I like sweet tofu pudding?"

"Really, I just followed my typical habits. After all, who doesn’t like sweet drinks?" you shrugged indifferently. Soon, the tofu pudding arrived, and you paid the owner right away.

After both of you had a few bites, you turned to Chen Susu and said, "Go ahead."

Chen Susu paused, then said to you, "Bro, do you believe in superpowers in this world?"

You nodded, not interrupting her.

Seeing your nod, Chen Susu smiled, knowing you weren’t ordinary, and someone like you must have experiences beyond normal people’s understanding.

"It was when I was in eighth grade. One day after school, two men grabbed me and trapped me in a closed space. They claimed my dad owed them a lot of money and wanted me to pay it back with my body." Such memories were definitely unpleasant, but Chen Susu’s face showed no sign of discomfort, as if she were recounting an ordinary past event. "It was the first time I saw the repulsive bodies of men. At that moment, I didn’t know what happened. I just felt like my head suddenly exploded, and my eyes felt very red, very hot, as if they caught fire!"

Chen Susu paused, looked at you, and asked, "Isn’t it funny, like a sci-fi novel?"

You shook your head, speaking plainly: "The world is constantly full of unusual events. You aren’t the first, and you definitely won’t be the last."

Chen Susu sweetly smiled, then continued: "Later, for some reason, when they saw my eyes, they seemed paralyzed, and I took that moment to escape."

"And then?"

"Later, to protect myself and my brother, I started searching for how to make my eyes heat up. It took me a little over a month to master it. After that, whenever someone made eye contact with me, I could make them fall into an illusion."

When she said this, you finally understood that this was Chen Susu’s superpower: illusions.

"How long can you confuse the target, and how many people at once?"

"In a closed space, about ten people; outdoors, at most five. As for the duration, it depends on the person. I once made the CEO of a real estate company dance in the square all night long." When Chen Susu mentioned this, her face showed a crescent-shaped smile.

You were silent for a moment, then said to Chen Susu: "Although this is an auxiliary skill, it should be sufficient for self-defense, but this secret must be kept."

With that, you finished the tofu pudding in your bowl and stood up.

"Bro, where are you going?" Suddenly, Chen Susu’s heart thumped wildly because she had a sudden feeling that you in front of her were a stranger, radiating an aura that made one’s soul tremble.

"I remember Yu Zixiao mentioned that his uncle has a penchant for recording his actions with a mini camera. Since what he does are illusions, the camera would capture everything."

Hearing this, a trace of delight appeared on Chen Susu’s face: "You even remembered?"

Seeing Chen Susu smile like this, you tilted your head slightly, somewhat puzzled: "Remember what?"

This seemingly trivial thing you remembered further strengthened Chen Susu’s resolve.

"It’s nothing. That person is Yu Zhiqiang, a cousin of Yu Zhiyuan, who seems decent but is actually a total scumbag." Despite what she said, Chen Susu’s report remained very relaxed, indicating she did not take this matter to heart. "Just as Yu Zixiao said, Yu Zhiqiang does have this perverse hobby, but it’s only towards others. I wouldn’t take what that person said too seriously; all the people on it are mosaicked, and you can’t see who it is. Plus, the lead actresses inside were street walkers I hired, so if anyone investigates, they can’t trace it back to me."

Unlike Chen Susu’s indifference, you didn’t think so. You have a trait: although you seem to avoid trouble, once you take action, you won’t overlook any threat, even a possible ant bite, that’s one of the lessons from your three years abroad.

Though there might not be significant progress in personal emotions with Chen Susu, any man would proactively help any woman associated with him, especially someone you’ve recognized as a little sister.

Looking at Chen Susu, you suddenly gave her a very serious look: "Your attitude towards handling matters is wrong. Living in this world, you must never underestimate anyone or anything. You need to realize that many seemingly insignificant things can destroy your reputation, status, interpersonal relationships, and even your life."

Chen Susu stared at you, unable to speak, unable to voice anything. This feeling of being taught and cared for was something she hadn’t experienced in a long time.

"Okay then, leave that punk’s issue to me."

With that, you strode away.
