Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

After Chen Shu was pulled out of the reception room by Qin Xue, Qin's mother looked at Qin Yueguan, who was still focused on examining the antiques, and slapped him, "Are you stupid? Didn't you hear what Xue'er just said?"

"Ouch!" Qin Yueguan was slapped on the back of the head and immediately turned to look at her mother. "What are you doing? Just go to sleep!"

"Go to sleep! Go to sleep! I told you to go to sleep, so go to sleep!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Three clear and melodious claps rang out in succession.

Qin Yueguan covered her head and said irritably, "What are you afraid of? Chen Shu is such a good kid, capable and resourceful. Isn't he a good match for our girl?"

"You idiot! How can you be so casual about something like this?" Qin's mother raised her hand again...

"What are you talking about?! What do you mean by 'anything'? Didn't we fall in love at first sight?"

……

"You agreed?"

Upon hearing Qin Xue mention the hot pot incident, Chen Shu couldn't help but ask her about it.

"...Hmm." Qin Xue's voice unconsciously softened, as if she was afraid that Chen Shu would think she was using this matter to blackmail him.

Having received an affirmative answer, Chen Shu had a question in his mind that already had an answer.

Could it be that Qin Xue has fallen for him?

Clearly, from any perspective, the answer to this question is yes.

Therefore, this problem fell back to Chen Shu.

If you were to ask Chen Shuxi whether she likes Qin Xue, the answer would definitely be yes. After all, who wouldn't like such a beautiful and wealthy girl?

However, I am not human in this world, so how can I agree to her so hastily?

"Okay, I see."

Chen Shu thought about it and decided not to make a decision yet.

After finally making up her mind to express her feelings and waiting expectantly for a long time, all she got in return was a "I know." The hope in Qin Xue's eyes vanished instantly, and she turned and walked towards her room.

Damn it...

Chen Shu knew something was wrong and chased after Qin Xue, saying, "Xiao Xue, that's not what I meant. Let me finish."

Qin Xue didn't give Chen Shu a chance at all, shook him off and entered the room, "Bang!" The door slammed shut.

"..." Chen Shu stood awkwardly outside the door, not knowing what to say. He couldn't very well just break down the door, could he?

"Host, you're a big ****!"

Suddenly, the system's cursing in his mind was deafening, so loud that Chen Shu instinctively covered his ears, but it had no effect.

"System, are you out of your mind? Why are you yelling at me? You're so loud I could hear you!"

Chen Shu angrily cursed the system in his heart.

"This system can't stand it anymore! I chose you because of your character, not because of your repressed personality!"

The system paused for a moment, then a voice, seemingly amplified through a megaphone, rang out, "With the system in hand, becoming bigger and stronger, and reshaping your physical body, is just around the corner! The host's body is already approaching human size, so what are you afraid of!"

"Ding! System task issued: Accept your true feelings and confess your love to Qin Xue."

"If the mission fails, the system will teleport Qin Xue to the side of the host's direct descendants."

Chen Shu's gaze suddenly darkened. The direct descendant... that guy who impersonated him. Isn't this system forcing him to complete this task?

Seemingly sensing Chen Shu's thoughts, the system's voice sounded again, "If the host doesn't like her, the system can guarantee that the other 'you' will absolutely not do anything to harm Qin Xue."

"What nonsense are you using to guarantee this? You say you won't, so you won't?" Chen Shu was furious and shouted angrily.

"Host, rest assured, your existence is due to the system, and the system naturally has the means to eliminate the existence that split from you."

The system spoke with great confidence, sounding as if it expected Chen Shu to refuse the mission.

……

In Qin Xue's bedroom, separated from Chen Shu's by a door, Qin Xue was huddled under the covers, and sobs could be heard from time to time.

She herself found it hard to imagine how she had suddenly made that decision.

Perhaps it was Zhao Ya'er's words during the day, or perhaps it was the imposter Chen Shu who gave her the illusion that Chen Shu truly liked her...

But none of that matters now...

boom--!

A sudden cracking sound from a wooden door interrupted Qin Xue's sorrowful mood.

Chen Shu broke the broken wooden plank on the door with his bare hands and walked into the house. A strange fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

Qin Xue's room has a very girly feel, with the walls covered in cute anime stickers, and the decorative fabrics inside are all fluffy, with teddy bears, bunnies and other dolls everywhere.

Damn it, why should someone else get the person I saved?

Chen Shu walked into the room, just as Qin Xue sat up from the bed, glaring angrily at Chen Shu who had barged in.

"What are you doing?! This is my room, who gave you permission to come in? Get out!"

Chen Shu ignored Qin Xue's words telling him to leave and instead walked straight towards her.

"What...what are you doing? Don't come any closer..."

Seeing Chen Shu's aggressive demeanor, it was the room's owner who became nervous first.

"...Xiaoxue".

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Shu gently pressed Qin Xue down, enveloping her with his entire body and supporting himself on either side of her head with his arms.

Chen Shu looked at Qin Xue, whose ears were flushed red with embarrassment and who even turned her head away, avoiding his gaze... and swallowed hard.

Horse riding...

In my past life, I was a lifelong orphan, and my only companion from childhood to adulthood was a dog.

He had no idea what his future held, so how could he possibly be interested in dating?

Therefore, it's not just Qin Xue who's nervous now; Chen Shu, despite his outwardly illusory disguise, is also extremely nervous.

Chen Shu grabbed Qin Xue's chin with one hand, forcing her to look at him.

"Xiaoxue, I...I like you too."

Qin Xue's eyes trembled slightly. Although she was incredibly excited inside, she forced herself not to show it. "Then why didn't you say so just now?"

"I...I wasn't sure what I was thinking either."

Chen Shu felt that his reason sounded like he was lying to Qin Xue.

However, to his surprise, Qin Xue seemed to actually believe him. "So you really like me? You're not just comforting me because you feel sorry for me?"

If he wasn't sure before, Chen Shu was now certain. He really didn't want to give Qin Xue away, because, "You are definitely mine."

Chen Shu, as if possessed, blurted out his inner thoughts.

For some reason, upon hearing this, tears welled up in Qin Xue's eyes, and her face became aggrieved...

"Huh?" Chen Shu was confused. He loosened his grip on her chin and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?" Chen Shu's voice became tense.

Qin Xue suddenly wrapped her arms around Chen Shu's neck, and the next second, a pair of warm, soft things pressed against Chen Shu's lips...

"Congratulations, host, on completing the designated task. Hidden reward: one drop of True Dragon Bloodline (extreme cold attribute)."
