CHAPTER 174: CHAPTER 170: CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM, SHALL WE FALL IN LOVE?

"Six-Tailed Flame Emperor look-alike Red Foxes—Big Sale!"

"The Demon’s Super-Student Notes Exposed! Master them, and you’ll be the next Six-Tailed Flame Emperor!"

"Chu Yi Q-Version Figurines, 100% Accurate! Seven-Day No-Questions-Asked Returns!"

...

Six-tailed young fox look-alike toys, figurines, models, plush pillows, and scarves, along with Red Foxes—usually considered merely ornamental Pet Beasts—were all sold out.

On the streets, groups of Beast Tamers could often be seen, each with a Red Fox perched on their shoulder, cutting proud figures.

The sound of yips and whimpers was incessant.

What’s more, unscrupulous merchants even launched Chu Yi-themed late-night stress-relief toys... available in all sizes.

Chu Yi was stunned. It had only been a day, and there were already products related to him on sale. Didn’t anyone ask for his opinion?

Master Chu was taking a massive financial hit!

"Brother, where did you buy this Red Fox? It looks quite real."

Just then, a wealthy young man walked over, looking at Bika on Chu Yi’s shoulder and exclaiming in surprise, "The six tails don’t look glued on; they look completely real. Are you also a fan of the Six-Tailed Flame Emperor?"

On the young man’s shoulder, a plush fox dyed orange-gold, originally in a lazy posture, suddenly became tense and anxious.

"...Yes, that’s right."

Chu Yi offered a polite smile. "Chu Yi is refined and amiable, peerlessly handsome; my whole family adores him."

The young man also smiled. People instinctively admire the strong. Now that Yaoguang City had produced such a Beast-Controlling Demon, the entire city naturally celebrated, eager to build up an idol for the younger generation.

Just then, a luxury car stopped by the roadside. The window rolled down, and hair shining like spun gold cascaded down.

An exquisite, flawless profile slowly turned, and azure pupils flickered a glance at Chu Yi, so faint it was almost imperceptible.

"Get in," the blonde girl said coldly.

As the Young Miss’s number one lackey, Chu Yi couldn’t refuse. Under the envious gaze of the wealthy young man, he opened the car door and sat directly beside the blonde girl.

Today, Lias wore a perfectly tailored Gothic Lolita dress that accentuated her snow-white skin. Beneath the hem of her skirt, her slender calves were wrapped in black silk pantyhose, and her delicate, beautiful jade feet were tucked into a pair of boots.

"It’s the sixth day. Why haven’t you replied to my messages?"

She crossed her arms, looking proud and angry that Chu Yi hadn’t replied at all, causing her to worry for so long.

She had been monitoring Chu Yi every night, admiring his sleeping face. But then he suddenly vanished for several days, which the Blood Race young lady, accustomed to his presence, found very unsettling.

"Young Miss, don’t be angry. I’ve been doing all this to catch up to you."

Chu Yi instinctively reached out, his hand caressing Lias’s thigh, savoring the silky smoothness.

"Is that so? Then why not a single message... Hmph, never mind. Considering your efforts, I’ll forgive you this time. But don’t let there be a next time..." Lias’s expression was icy as she said fiercely.

"So, Young Miss, since I’ve been working so hard, shouldn’t there be some kind of reward for me?" Chu Yi, seeing an opportunity, pressed his advantage, his eyes lighting up.

"What reward do you want this time?" Lias asked instinctively. But then, the memory of the scene from six days ago surfaced. A blush crept up her exquisite, flawless face, making her look enchantingly cute with its powdery pink hue, and she snapped,

"No way!"

...

After finishing a chocolate ice cream, Chu Yi wiped his mouth. As expected of a luxury car, it even had a refrigerator and was fully equipped. The trunk was stocked with a pile of ice cream and popsicles—so convenient.

Of course, eating ice cream in the car, even with the air conditioning on, easily made a mess.

Lias’s dress was accidentally stained with chocolate sauce, and Bloodthirsty Rose, looking utterly miserable, cleaned it with its vines.

"Hmph."

Her long, shimmering golden hair cascaded over the seat like a radiant golden cloud, smoother than silk.

The blonde girl’s fair cheeks were flushed, and she bit her lip. A few strands of golden hair, damp with perspiration, clung to her snowy skin as she stared at the handsome young man with a cold gaze, letting out a soft hmph.

Beneath her skirt, a pair of small, exquisitely beautiful jade feet, delicate and pink, were gently massaged by Chu Yi’s hands, handled as if they were precious jade artifacts.

Her slender, pale toes curled slightly, their translucent pink nails as small and lovely as flower petals.

Seeing the young man’s gaze fixed on her small feet, Lias felt a strange pang of loss.

Why did it feel like he liked her feet more than her?

The Blood Race young lady, unfamiliar with this territory, was momentarily unsure whether to feel jealous or pleased.

The next moment, Chu Yi released the flawless jade-like feet, his eyes clear and sparkling as if filled with crushed starlight. "Noble Miss Lias, tonight, would you be willing to watch the stars and share a romantic time with a young man who would devote his life to accompanying you?"

As soon as he said this, Lias froze for a moment. Staring into the young man’s sincere eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

It was like a fawn crashing into her heart, like savoring sweet, fresh blood, like the ecstasy of snapping countless creatures’ necks, like...

Beneath her dress, countless chaotic shadows began to writhe. The atmosphere solidified, and the temperature plummeted...

She bit her pink lip, her teeth sharp, and said, her voice tinged with her usual tsundere pride, "It seems no other girls like you, huh? How pitiful. In that case, I, this Young Miss, shall deign to show you some pity."

"Thank you, Young Miss."

Chu Yi, long accustomed to the Young Miss’s tsundere tone, directly took her hand, pulled her into his embrace, and held her. She felt like an ice cream bar infused with fresh flowers, carrying a faint, sweet, milky fragrance.

Childhood sweethearts, innocent and pure.

Before, he lacked the strength, and being with Lias would have meant facing immense obstacles.

But now, with his new identity as a Beast-Controlling Demon, everything fell into place naturally.

"Insolent rogue."

Lias rested her head in the handsome young man’s embrace, letting out a cute little hum through her nose, tacitly accepting his actions.

...

「Upon arriving at Star Dragon Academy.」

Chu Yi, holding his girlfriend’s small hand, stepped out of the luxury car with her, under the maid’s shocked gaze.

Although she had anticipated it, the sight still evoked a strong, inexplicable sense of incongruity.

To the Blood Race, humans were merely food.

Right now, this couple... it’s like a person dating a crispy golden fried chicken leg! How could it not be strange?

If the Count finds out, he’ll absolutely explode with rage! The maid was horrified.

"Chu Yi, accompany me to see Father tonight."

Lias gazed intently at her boyfriend’s handsome face, her beautiful eyes blinking as she said with schadenfreude, "You’ll have to face my father sooner or later. You can’t escape it."

She was quite looking forward to seeing Chu Yi squirm in front of her father. It served him right for bullying her so fiercely in the car that even her pantyhose were ruined!

"Alright, I’ll go with you tonight."

Chu Yi nodded and, when his girlfriend wasn’t looking, leaned in and stole a kiss on the blonde girl’s soft lips.

Soft, smooth, and tender, like a cherry blossom petal.

"PTOOEY, PTOOEY."

Lias frowned, feeling her dignity as a young lady had been offended. She pressed Chu Yi’s head with her delicate hand, tilted her slender neck, parted her soft lips, and bit down.

"AWOO! I’ll bite you!"

"AWOO! I’ll bite you too!"

It wasn’t until Chu Yi’s lip was actually bleeding that the faint, sweet scent of blood brought a greedy glint to Lias’s eyes. "Oh, I’m sorry! Let me clean that up for you."

Saying that, she kissed him again.
