Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 750 Cannon Fodder in a Western Fantasy World (10)

"Don't worry, I'd rather stay in Saint Tiana than go back to the Tovil family."

This wasn't for Shen Yao or anything; it was simply because Wei Lan didn't want to cause trouble.

The Towell family is currently a powder keg, and it could explode at any time. Although Vilan is the heir to the Towell family, he cannot handle it alone.

The current power structure of the Sins Empire is complex. If the internal strife in the Kingdom of Falor was due to the king's old age and the princes' desire to become the new king, leading to a power struggle, then the Sins Empire is a power struggle between several nominally noble but actually vampire-like forces, all of whom want to devour the Sins Empire and turn it into their private property.

There's nothing that can't be said. Wei Lan was surprisingly open in the face of Shen Yao's questions, and told her everything without hesitation.

Shen Yao:......

It still sounded a bit chaotic, but Shen Yao understood why Saint Tiana was in such a state of confusion; it was the aftermath of the power struggle within the Xinsi Empire.

However, the aftershocks alone are already so dangerous; it's hard to imagine what's really going on inside the Sins Empire. Will the Towell family just become history?

Vilan chuckled softly, his large hand tightly encircling Shen Yao's small hand, and then placing it into his pocket.

“The Towell family has some old-fashioned members. Although they lack political acumen, they are not at all troubled when it comes to being pragmatic,” so the Towell family can survive no matter what they say.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself, "Is it really appropriate to say things like that? It seems the relationship between the Tovil family and Vilan isn't very good."

Of course not. When Vilan introduced the vampires before, they were all ruthless people who bought themselves into the family. Moreover, after planning to be with Shen Yao, Vilan might even turn against the Towell family in the future.

However, Wei Lan didn't say these words to Shen Yao for the time being. After all, they had just decided to get together, and the girl was obedient and gentle. Wei Lan didn't want to scare the girl away all at once.

The two walked along the dimly lit path. St. Tiana's school was very quiet at night, and there was no one else around except for the two of them.

Oh

That's not quite right either, as there are still crazy young men and women who run out to meet in secret.

After being blindfolded and quickly redirected by Vilan once again, Shen Yao said she could really handle it.

Uh

Although the nobles of this era were somewhat crazy, Shen Yao had already seen far more depravity in other worlds. It was just about the little things between men and women, which she was very familiar with and knowledgeable about.

Vilan: ...

Even though Shen Yao said that, Wei Lan didn't dare to let Shen Yao see it for herself.

Moreover, the St. Tiana School is not safe. Those boys and girls, Vilan sneered, couldn't even tell whether the people around them were human or ghosts.

"Let's go back, it's getting late. I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

Vilan smiled and bent down slightly, while raising his hand to touch Shen Yao's face.

Shen Yao responded with a soft "Okay".

On the first day of the new year, I'm going out with my boyfriend.

The two returned to the dormitory building. Since the straight-line distance was quite far, Wei Lan didn't care whether Shen Yao would be scared and simply teleported back with Shen Yao.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao's eyes were wide open, blinking like a frightened kitten.

"Come on in, sweetie."

Vilan finished speaking softly and then gave Shen Yao a big hug.

Vilan's embrace was as warm as ever, carrying a pleasant fragrance that made Shen Yao subconsciously close her eyes, wanting to immerse herself in it.

Shen Yao raised her hand and wrapped it around Wei Lan's lower back, burying herself in his arms and not wanting to leave.

Ugh

It's only the first day, and she's already a little infatuated. It's true that beauty is hard to resist, even though she always prides herself on being rational.

System: ...This is lust at heart, isn't it?

The system dared not speak to its host, because it knew it couldn't win the argument; not only would it lose, but it would also be countered, ultimately losing both its argument and its resources.

"See you tomorrow, senior."

A muffled voice came from Vilan's embrace. At the same time, Shen Yao left the warm embrace and let her hands fall naturally to her sides.

"See you tomorrow, junior."

Vilan raised his hand and waved. The two stared at each other for a while until Shen Yao couldn't hold on any longer. Her exposed calves shivered in the cold wind, and she had no choice but to go back to the dormitory to rest.

Vilan vanished the instant Shen Yao entered the room; this was a vampire's ability, best used for traveling and leaving.

After returning home, Shen Yao had a wonderful sleep, and her good mood lasted until Wei Lan appeared in front of the dormitory building.

Vilan was holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms. I didn't know where she had bought them, since most of the shops in Songxue Town were closed during the New Year. The flowers looked incredibly fresh; they must have just been picked from the garden.

"Do you like them?" These were flowers he had gone to many places to get last night.

Vilan also used his vampire abilities to keep the flowers looking lifelike, hoping they could stay with Shen Yao for a while longer.

Vilan needs to travel for a while, and his return date is uncertain.

Shen Yao: ...Huh?

Are we really going to break up so soon after we've just gotten together? Isn't that a bit too hasty?

Vilan said there was no other way; the Towell family had encountered an unexpected incident, and he needed to return to the Sins Empire ahead of schedule so that the Towell family could land safely.

"Is it troublesome?"

Last night I was saying I didn't want to go back, but today I'm faced with a problem I have to confront.

Vilan pondered for a moment. Explaining the problem wasn't difficult, but it involved many troublesome forces. The Tolville family, as vampires on the side of humans, was not only worth winning over by both sides, but also someone that both sides needed to be wary of.

“I suspect that there are werewolf forces involved, just like what happened in Saint Tiana recently.”

Despite thorough investigation, Vilan was unable to pinpoint the source of the problem. It was only because most of the forces that had been brought in had perished that St. Tiana School was able to maintain its peace.

However, the peace is only temporary, not permanent. Vilan will not be taking his bodyguards with him when he leaves this time, so Shen Yao doesn't need to worry about her safety. It's just that the return date is uncertain. Shen Yao sighed and couldn't help but raise her hand to gently tug at Vilan's sleeve.

Vilan: ...

Vilan raised his hand and touched Shen Yao's soft, long hair. It was inappropriate to say anything at this moment. Vilan knew that what he was doing was not good, but he couldn't take Shen Yao back. The internal situation of the Xinsi Empire was too chaotic, and Shen Yao would be in danger if she was not by his side.

Don't assume that vampires are creatures with principles; they love to use unconventional methods to threaten others in order to achieve their goals.

Shen Yao is a human being, and a human being who poses no danger whatsoever.

Once this person is exposed to the vampires, she becomes an object that can threaten Vilan at any time. They will not care about Shen Yao; they will only want to go through all kinds of trouble to capture Shen Yao and achieve their wishes.

Hiding her worries, Vilan pulled Shen Yao to the lakeside for some fresh air.

The weather was excessively cold at this time of year. Even though Shen Yao was wrapped up tightly from head to toe, she still couldn't stop the biting wind that kept blowing in.

Vilan was still dressed in that very handsome outfit, making Shen Yao's eyes sparkle.

There weren't many people by the lake. At this time of year, most students staying on campus would stay in their dormitories or go to warmer classrooms and libraries. It was quite rare to see two people like them venturing out to freeze.

Vilan left Shen Yao a wooden box, telling her not to open it now, but to keep it close to her body after she returned, in case he was not around and Shen Yao encountered danger and didn't know what to do.

What's inside?

"Self-defense tools"

Actually, it's not just about self-defense tools, but there are some things that Vilan can't say right now, and Shen Yao needs to find out little by little on her own.

A tool for self-defense.

Shen Yao nodded with an "oh," then hugged the wooden box to her chest, saying that she would definitely unpack it and keep it with her when she got back.

Vilan nodded, and then he and Shen Yao strolled around the campus of St. Tiana School. They even ate in the school cafeteria. It wasn't until Vilan had to leave that the two reluctantly parted ways.

Back in the dormitory, I went to the study.

Shen Yao opened the wooden box she was holding and saw the silver dagger inside.

The dagger was small, no more than the size of a palm, with a beautiful silver-white blade and various colorful gemstones inlaid around it.

Wow

This dagger is really exquisite. Vilan really knows her very well. Shen Yao is very satisfied with the self-defense tool that Vilan gave her.

Fortunately, the school uniform at St. Tiana's School is a short skirt, so she can simply hide the dagger inside the skirt without worrying about forgetting it.

"Host, this is more than just a dagger," the system exclaimed in surprise.

The gossip he'd been reading all this time hadn't been for nothing. Take the dagger Vilan gave to Shen Yao, for example. It might look pretty and delicate like a little figurine, but it actually had a terrifying name: Bloodthirsty Rose.

"It's a deadly weapon specifically designed to kill non-human creatures," the system said, adding that there were only a few Bloodthirsty Roses in total, and those who obtained them treated them as family heirlooms, rarely showing them off.

Clearly, Vilan was an exception, foolishly giving a dagger to Shen Yao, seemingly unafraid that Shen Yao might stab him if she praised him.

Shen Yao:......

'I know it's not just a self-defense tool, nor is it an ordinary dagger, but so what?' If Shen Yao were to actually use this, Vilan would most likely be in grave danger.

As Shen Yao casually toyed with the dagger, she suddenly thought of the hunters from St. Tiana School. With Vilan about to leave, would those people also leave?

'No, no, no, they still have to stay in St. Tiana.' This school isn't just about Vilan, the only vampire. The hunters' duty is to maintain the stability of human society. Vilan is considered a destabilizing factor. If he leaves, the hunters should be overjoyed. How could they possibly leave with Vilan?

'Oh, these hunters,' Shen Yao shook her head. In her opinion, this group seemed to have no purpose in staying in St. Tiana.

Shen Yao didn't know how the Hunter Association had arranged things, but she could clearly see the hatred in Lisa's eyes.

This person is like a ticking time bomb; you never know when she might suddenly explode. Shen Yao was quite certain how intense Lisa's hatred was, yet the Hunter Association had arranged for someone like her to stay at St. Tiana School.

'Host, stop thinking about these hunters. What they do is none of our business.'

When Vilan was around, they didn't dare to speak. When Vilan wasn't around, it didn't matter whether they spoke or not. The system encouraged the host to pay more attention to the outside world, because who knows when the two of them would go out.

Shen Yao:...Hmm?

'Is St. Tiana School not enough for you?' Aren't all these gossips enough?

'Hehe, the drama in the Sins Empire is much more interesting than the princely disputes in the Kingdom of Fal'o.'

The system's smile was rather lewd, but Shen Yao could understand its unspoken meaning: there was definitely something very interesting going on here.

'Even if it looks good, I can't go, at least not for now,' Shen Yao rolled her eyes at the empty study besides herself. If it would interest the system, it would be good to pay more attention to Wei Lan, at least she could know about Wei Lan's situation.

System: ...So you've lost all humanity when it comes to the opposite sex, huh?

Unable to resist chirping at its host, the system listlessly indicated that it would keep an eye on Vilan, but the Xins Empire was still too far from the Kingdom of Fal'ao, so there wasn't much it could focus on, and told the host to prepare itself in advance.

Mentally prepared?

What should we prepare?

Vilan won't actually get into trouble, but the system could go crazy at any time.

Shen Yao suppressed her urge to complain and nodded with a smile, then quickly sent the system far away, trying to keep it from interfering with her.

system:……

The system had no idea how much its host despised it; it had now turned its attention to distant places and wished it could revolve around Vilan all day long.

Thanks to the difference in individual vampire abilities, Vilan was incredibly fast. One second he was in the study communicating with his clansmen, and the next he was in a room far away, having dragged out the hidden traitor.

The system was extremely diligent, yet it still lost track of Vilan and could only turn to listen to the secrets of the other members of the Towell family.

Fortunately, the Towell family is large and powerful, with small groups here and small groups there, so the system is not afraid that there will be no fun here.

Gaa gaa gaa gaa

The system laughed like hundreds of ducks quacking, successfully making Shen Yao's head grow bigger and bigger.

Shen Yao:......

Spring has arrived at St. Tiana School, where Shen Yao studies.

Students returned to school one by one after the holiday, making the quiet campus lively again.

Shen Yao carries her books to and from get out of class every day. Occasionally, she goes out with her best friends. Her former classmate Phil hasn't appeared for a while, reportedly due to health reasons, having taken a long leave of absence.

But Shen Yao knew that Phil had chosen to join the hunters and was training in a secluded place, which meant that he had indeed experienced something he couldn't tell outsiders when he went home before.

'That was dangerous. By the way, where are the male and female leads?'

'The tug-of-war is still ongoing; the story has only just begun, and the most exciting developments are yet to come.'
