Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 762 Cannon Fodder in a Western Fantasy World (22)

It's too early to tell how the story of the male and female protagonists will unfold, especially since Caesar and Victoria are still entangled, not to mention the couple whose progress is even slower. According to the system's analysis, let's just wait and see.

Shen Yao and Wei Lan only stayed here briefly; the rest of the time they were trying to get to the Xinsi Empire.

News about the Tolville family was delivered to Vilan every now and then. Without Vilan's explicit instructions, those who were jumping up and down were still trying to build connections with various people. As for whether this was effective, just look at that stack of names and figures; nobody was a fool.

Soon, they entered the territory of the Xins Empire, and their travel speed gradually decreased.

Vilan continued to receive various messages from the Tovil family. The most outrageous message came from Vilan's father, a useless nobleman who, apart from having such an outstanding son as Vilan, was otherwise a good-for-nothing. He was planning how to give Vilan a hard time, or even provoke Vilan in exchange for his own benefits.

'Tsk, this person can still live comfortably in the Towell family, which shows how magnanimous Vilan is,' and yet he still doesn't appreciate it? That really shows a lack of self-awareness.

It's rare for the system to take a stand and mock Vilan, since Vilan doesn't have a good reputation with the system and always has the chance to complain. It's just that Shen Yao doesn't pay much attention to the system, which is usually unpredictable; otherwise, Shen Yao might have to find a new target.

'His comfort was a thing of the past; now, not only can he not continue to enjoy it, but he might even be used to establish his authority,' he outwardly kept his eyes downcast and silent, but inwardly he was thinking the system's words: 'This isn't entirely Vilan's father's fault. So much information points to the other party; how could a spoiled brat have such great abilities?'

It was the Towell family who added fuel to the fire, and their goal was simple: to get rid of this good-for-nothing. Vilan was left with no flaws (Shen Yao was just a weakness, not a flaw).

'Does Vilan know?' The system glanced at Vilan, completely unable to discern his inner thoughts.

Shen Yao propped her head up. "Of course Wei Lan knows, but he also knows that this person really can't be kept around. He has no skills whatsoever except to be a burden. Wei Lan doesn't really like challenging himself with difficult mode."

Choosing Shen Yao means that Vilan can be a safety net. Besides, Shen Yao is not as ordinary as she seems on the surface. Moreover, as the heir of the Towell family, there will be certain risks in marrying any kind of wife.

Vilan was unwilling to continue marrying into those decadent vampire nobles, nor did she want to get too involved with the royal power. Choosing a noble girl like Shen Yao from an ordinary background was the safest option.

Of course, Shen Yao will have a tough time after becoming the mistress of the Towell family, but it will be nothing compared to the benefits she can gain. Otherwise, why would Shen Yao agree to marry Vilan after graduation?

Both of them had their own calculations and thoughts, but the feelings between them were genuine, which made their relationship seem real.

In fact, when it comes to a major event like marriage between two people, there must be considerations of mutual interests.

'Father and son killing each other?' The system felt that given Vilan's personality, he would most likely force the other party to leave on his own.

Once the Towell family's protection is gone, what fate awaits a useless nobleman who only knows how to eat, drink, and enjoy himself?

Tu

The ability to establish authority and intimidate the enemy without bloodshed—could this be one of the reasons why the Tovil family has been supporting Vilan's father?

The system felt it had guessed the truth, but it wasn't that the truth couldn't be told. After all, the rules of the vampire world were simple and brutal, unlike human society, where no matter what you did, you had to put on a persona, which was uncomfortable and pretentious.

…………

The convoy entered the Sins Empire and soon arrived at the Towell family's residence.

This was Shen Yao's first formal visit, and in just a few months, she would become the mistress of the Towell family.

Vilan has his own residence here, a very classic castle, where the servants are all vampires, and they all treat the two of them with utmost respect.

The responsible butler had arrived early and made sure to inform Young Master Vilan of the pre-arranged meeting time.

"Yes, I know about what's going on at home. There's no need to delay. Let's proceed as planned."

After waving for the butler to leave, Vilan led Shen Yao into the castle.

Oil paintings covering the walls came into view. Vilan pointed to the paintings and told Shen Yao that they were her ancestors, some of whom had died and some of whom were asleep.

"This castle has been around for over a thousand years," as for why the interior looks so new, it is because it undergoes regular renovations and maintenance every year, after all, it is the residence of the Towell family heirs.

"The basement downstairs contains the coffins of our ancestors who are asleep," but the chances of these sleeping ancestors being awakened are very small.

The death and sleep of a vampire may sound like two different outcomes, but they are actually quite similar, except that sleep is not as direct as death.

Vilan pulled Shen Yao up the steps, where the surrounding crystal chandeliers shone brightly, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime.

Ascending the steps, you'll find yourself in a banquet hall with a more expansive view.

Shen Yao:......

Just how big is this castle? So many banquet halls and rooms, and so many busy servants coming and going. I always knew that Vilan was a powerful figure, but seeing him today, I realize that he truly is a powerful figure.

Because they returned quite late, Vilan simply showed Shen Yao around the castle before returning to her room to wash up and rest.

The food had been delivered to the dining room in their room long beforehand, and the two of them were very satisfied with their meal.

"I still have some things to take care of," Wei Lan reassured Shen Yao and told her to go rest first. Then she got up and went to the study next door.

Shen Yao raised her hand and yawned. After changing into comfortable pajamas and washing up, she lay down to rest.

On the same day that Vilan and his family arrived home, in another castle not far away, Vilan's father was flirting with the beauty he liked.

Ultimately, it was Vilan's years of forbearance that gave him inflated confidence, making him deeply believe that no matter what Vilan did, he couldn't do anything to him.

Hahahahaha

Although she herself was quite useless, her son was ambitious and they were still able to live a good life.

Some of his cronies came in to discuss countermeasures, implying that they wanted to move forward with their plans, but they needed this person to shield them from the storm.

"Don't worry, it's just a show of force. I don't believe that all the stubborn old men in the Towell family would agree to Vilan's nonsense."

If even one of them steps forward, they can use that as an opportunity to give Vilan a hard time.

So what if he's the heir to the Tolville family? He hasn't officially taken control of the Tolville family yet; he's just an empty shell.

Vilan's father was gloating. His once handsome face was now a mess because of his drinking and womanizing. The people who came over didn't say anything, only telling him to be more careful in his actions in a couple of days. Since it was a show of force, there would definitely be a lot of clansmen involved.

He waved his hand to quickly shoo the mute away, then snorted and pulled the beauty next to him to continue flirting.

"Has he always been like this?"

Vilan sat in his study, with a half-open window behind him and a beautiful full moon hanging in the sky.

The cool moonlight spilled onto the windowsill, but melted away because of the room's lights.

"Yes"

The answer came from the butler, who was responsible not only for all matters concerning the castle but also for the internal and external affairs of the Towell family.

Snapped--

He tossed a stack of files onto the table, chuckled, and leaned back. His beautiful emerald green eyes brimmed with barely suppressed anger and helplessness. "Sigh, how foolish," he thought. "Why not just live a peaceful life? Why do you have to jump out and cause trouble? How naive are you?"

"Master"

The butler was unsure of Vilan's attitude. Vilan had overstepped his bounds several times before and had been severely punished as a result. Now the butler wanted to bring up the past, but the whip marks on his body made him hesitate.

"Proceed as planned. Weren't you going to give me a hard time?"

"The gathering in three days is their chance. Let's give them a back door," Vilan rubbed his temples, then got up and went to the window, gazing at the ancient castles not far away. One of them was that person's residence, and also the place where Vilan had lived for several years.

Well

Unable to resist recalling some unpleasant memories, Vilan's expression suddenly turned cold, and he waved for the butler to leave.

Only Vilan remained in the study. After much deliberation, he got up and left the study.

Shen Yao was sleeping soundly when a human-shaped pillow suddenly appeared on her spacious bed. Unfortunately, the pillow was icy cold, which she found unbearable.

Shen Yao:......

Reluctantly opening her eyes, Shen Yao noticed Vilan lying beside her, holding her in his arms.

She reached out and touched Wei Lan's cheek. Shen Yao was too sleepy to say anything. Perhaps she was in a bad mood, otherwise Wei Lan would not have barged into her room and done such an extremely rude thing.

"I think perhaps we were too lenient with the Towell family, which is why so much trouble has arisen."

Vilan spoke with some resentment, a rare display of her personality in front of Shen Yao.

“It was too young before, and the Towell family had too many problems.” Blindly carrying out reforms would be detrimental to Vilan, and there was no guarantee that some desperate people wouldn’t take action.

“Now is the right time, you did the right thing.” At least for this period of time, no one from the Towell family who dares to step forward is a match for Vilan. Whatever Vilan wants to do, they can only complain and mutter to themselves. “Don’t assume things haven’t happened yet. That’s what you used to persuade me.”

Shen Yao cupped Wei Lan's face in her hands, then leaned in and gave her a quick kiss.

The comforting words from his lover quickly banished Vilan's bad mood from his mind. He suddenly chuckled softly and hugged Shen Yao even tighter.

Vilan's embrace always made Shen Yao feel very safe. She found a comfortable position, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep again.

Well

No matter how bad Vilan was feeling, she couldn't resist the urge to rest.

When she woke up the next day, Vilan was nowhere to be seen. But this was quite common, since Vilan was a vampire noble and didn't need to sleep.

Shen Yao got up, dressed, and washed herself before calling the servants outside to bring her breakfast.

After eating and drinking her fill, Shen Yao didn't stay in the room any longer and simply left the castle to take a walk outside.

Sure enough, every castle had a large garden and a lawn for strolling.

The people living in this area are all direct descendants of the Towell family, and according to seniority and bloodline, they can all be related to Vilan in some way.

However, this has nothing to do with Shen Yao for the time being, as she hasn't married into the family yet.

'If she were to marry into this family, she wouldn't be much different from a noblewoman from ancient times.'

They're all busy with household matters. Even though they're of different races, their social nature dictates that their communal living will be like this.

'Yes, life is different wherever you are. You may have a different identity and a different shell, but your humanity remains the same.' Although vampires are beasts in human skin, beasts who have lived in human society for many years have learned to disguise themselves as humans to some extent.

The messy affairs of the Tolville family are just imitations of human society. In reality, they have no idea how strong Vilan's abilities are or how hard his fists can be.

Sitting in the garden in front of the castle, with flower umbrellas hanging overhead.

Servants would bring tea and drinks to Shen Yao in advance, ready to come whenever she needed them.

A gentle breeze ruffled the stray hairs on either side of her face, causing Shen Yao to unconsciously squint her eyes.

Vilan and the butler came out of the castle and got into a car parked at the entrance.

Is something wrong outside?

Shen Yao didn't pay attention to what Wei Lan was doing, but when Wei Lan still hadn't returned by evening, Shen Yao started urging the system to do it for her.

system:……

It's really hard to say anything about one's own host. When they need your help, they're not subtle at all, and when they don't need you, they're just as direct.

'This is our biggest support,' he said, 'and he's unlikely to be in any trouble, but he must have been stopped by an unexpected accident that prevented him from returning.'

The system returned in a short while, without shouting or jumping up and down in surprise. It only said that Vilan was discussing the issue of succession with the old men of the Towell family, wanting to seize power ahead of schedule.

"The talks didn't seem to go very smoothly," because most of the tribesmen preferred that Wiran get married first (even though they were not satisfied with the bride he chose).

'Vilan isn't in a hurry either. Could it be that he has some leverage over him?' the system wondered.

Shen Yao responded with an "Oh," and said, "Weilan doesn't have any leverage over her, but someone will provide it."

"Isn't that the meeting in a few days?" The system blurted out, and the next instant, a "Holy crap!" cracked the mechanical voice. "Why is Vilan's father here? And he even barged in with his men!"

Is there some internal strife within the family?

'Host, Vilan also has half-brothers, all of whom were dragged over by Vilan's cheap father.' Goodness, they're not as handsome as Vilan, but their personalities are just like that cheap father's.

The system then told the host what had happened in Vilan in a monologue.

In the end, he was so frightened that he fell silent!

Because the honest and obedient Vilan suddenly went on a killing spree, personally dealing with his half-brothers who were related to him by blood.

The piles of sand on the ground are proof!
