Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 765 Cannon Fodder in a Western Fantasy World (25)
The wedding was a grand affair, and the guests were all wealthy and influential.
As Shen Yao entered through the door, she saw Phil sitting at the very edge. He was no different from before, still thin and frail, but his eyes no longer showed the hesitation and timidity they once held. It was clear that years of experience had helped him grow a lot.
"Host, he's a seasoned vampire hunter. He hasn't had much of a rest in years, killing like this every day. He's probably practically marinated by now."
The system commented that Phil looked like a completely different person, showing that the word "ruthless" was indeed useful.
'The smell of blood on her was unmistakable, and there were too many vampires at the wedding, including many noble vampires. Phil was like a lamb entering a tiger's den.'
"Don't worry, Phil is the official representative of the Hunter Association. If something happens to her, it will be a slap in the face to the Hunter Association. This is different from when they besieged Caesar before. The Hunter Association was in the wrong then. Right now, the Hunter Association can't really be a pushover."
Shen Yao:......
"You're right, but the Hunter Association's capabilities are ultimately insignificant. If something really happens to Phil, it will most likely be swept under the rug."
The backing isn't strong enough.
system:……
The system couldn't help but mutter to itself, thinking, if that's really the case, then why would the Hunter Association arrange for Phil to attend the wedding? What are they up to? Could it be some kind of conspiracy to use someone else to do their dirty work?
'It's not that bad, but the vampires Phil killed must have been so fearful they couldn't sleep soundly. The Hunter Association was under too much pressure, so they thought of sending Phil out as a target. Whether Phil lives or dies in the end, the Hunter Association can protect itself.'
Shen Yao quickly looked away, focusing more on the present moment. As for Phil, that was a matter for the Hunter Association.
The system took a long time to speak. It really didn't expect the Hunter Association to be so shameless and spineless, actually pushing out a great hero as a target? Wouldn't Phil's situation be very dangerous?
It was extremely dangerous. Phil knew from the moment she received the news that she might not return, but she still did not refuse.
The importance and status of senior hunters in the Hunter Association is self-evident. Moreover, the Hunter Association is not a monolithic entity. Someone must have tipped them off in advance. Hopefully, Phil can think things through carefully instead of oversimplifying the matter.
But Phil also has his own ambitions; Victoria is still in the Sins Empire.
Her cousin was once one of the most outstanding and promising hunters in the Hunter Association. However, she became too entangled with vampire nobles and was not only expelled from the Doron family and hunted down, but also angered both sides.
Phil still remembers the time she spent with Victoria. This trip is both to settle old scores and to rescue her loved ones.
Phil's gaze involuntarily shifted as she followed the line of sight ahead. She remembered that Victoria was at the very back, but she didn't know if she understood what Victoria meant.
Whether she kills Caesar or severely injures him, Victoria can escape his clutches.
Victoria in the distance: ...
Victoria had no idea that her cousin was trying her best to save her from dire straits, even at the risk of her own life, to pull her out of danger.
Victoria's biggest worry right now is that so many vampires are out of control and will hurt the vampire hunters of the Hunter Association.
Ancient memories flooded Victoria's mind, and large swaths of blood filled her heart. Victoria couldn't help but tremble, and her eyes became panicked.
"Honey, what's wrong?"
The moment Caesar's arm touched Victoria's shoulder, Victoria shoved him away violently.
"Do not touch me!"
Caesar: ...?!
Caesar's eyes turned dangerous and terrifying, his red hair slightly rising as he said with a forced smile, "Victoria, what are you doing?"
Victoria: ...
Victoria snapped back to reality, then shook her head weakly. "Sorry, I got lost in thought for a moment. I'll go take a break."
Getting up and leaving Caesar's side, Victoria turned her back to the culprit, clutching her chest and breathing heavily. The experience had just been too dangerous.
She was certainly aware of the watchful eyes on her, but Caesar was a madman, devoid of any rationality or emotion. Their years of getting along hadn't been in vain; at least Victoria knew that given their true relationship, the outcome would inevitably be a fight to the death.
Phil... How did this kid end up attending the Towell family wedding? It's like a piece of meat delivered to someone's doorstep; who wouldn't want to take a bite?
No, I have to find a chance to stop Phil, and it would be best to get her out of this mess beforehand.
Victoria made up her mind in no time, but she had other things to do, not to mention Caesar was behind her. She could only go to Phil if she got rid of him.
Following the laid-out red carpet, Shen Yao soon saw her grandparents at the front. The two of them had traveled thousands of miles to make sure they didn't miss their granddaughter's wedding.
Kane and Triss looked quite old; the years of hard work and toil had left deep marks on them.
"Oh my god! It really is Yao Yao."
Triss covered her mouth, somewhat incredulous, but mostly relieved and satisfied.
At least my granddaughter's future is clearly bright, unlike the rest of the family's children, who are best left unmentioned.
“She has always been well, both in St. Tiana and in the Sins Empire.”
Even if she ultimately chooses to return to the Kingdom of Falor, Kane believes that Shen Yao will be able to live the life she wants.
After all, his granddaughter was very goal-oriented. While others were still trying to figure it out, Shen Yao already knew what she wanted.
Just like now, when they get married, even if they receive a letter, the old couple can't help but doubt its authenticity all the way, because it's the famous Towell family.
It wasn't until the pristine white wedding dress appeared before his eyes that Kane had to believe it was all real.
The woman who left the Kane family at the age of ten, studied at St. Tiana, and is now married to the heir of the Towell family, is his granddaughter.
"That's good, God bless," Triss murmured to herself, then pulled Kane forward a little.
Along the way, Shen Yao saw many people she knew and didn't know. Some of them had crossed paths with her, some she had only met twice, and most of them were complete strangers. Some of them even looked at her with scrutiny and sizing, as if they were seriously evaluating something rather than simply attending a wedding to bless the newlyweds.

'This feels a bit like a trading scene.' Unlike traditional trading models, our host is more like the cargo.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao thought the system was really bad at talking. She wasn't some kind of commodity; at most, she was an item that people were waiting to sell, and the ultimate purpose of waiting to sell was mostly because of Vilan.
system:……
What's the difference between this and the goods it's talking about?
The difference is that their main purpose is not trading but investing, using me to tie Vilan down. After all, Vilan doesn't just talk to everyone, but the people who come here genuinely want to maintain or establish a relationship with Vilan.
How to do?
Since Vilan's path is blocked, let's choose another route.
Despite the large number of members in the Tovil family, only a handful have a good relationship with Vilan. However, Shen Yao, Vilan's wife whom he personally married, is different. Both of them have lived in Saint Tiana for a long time, and their feelings for each other are deep.
If Wei Lan truly cares about his wife Shen Yao, then they should show more sincerity in trying to please him. However, if Wei Lan's marriage to Shen Yao is merely a youthful impulse with ulterior motives, then their sincerity will be reduced accordingly.
No one's gold and silver treasures come from thin air. If you want to give away the capital you've accumulated, you have to think it's worthwhile before you can continue.
'System, there are so many people here, remember to keep a close eye on them on weekdays.'
A noble wedding is not something that can be completed in a single day; the Towell family will continue to be surrounded by crowds for some time.
Shen Yao spent the whole day with Wei Lan, and by the time she took off her wedding dress in the evening, there were red marks on her lower back.
hiss
She raised her hand and rubbed it vigorously. After taking a shower, Shen Yao lay comfortably on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.
Vilan came in from outside, wearing that black suit.
Her slender body, wrapped in fabric, combined with her perfect features, unconsciously drew attention away from those around her.
Upon hearing the noise, Shen Yao quickly opened her eyes. She was wearing a nightgown she had just changed into; the soft fabric clung to her body, highlighting the girl's perfect curves.
"Why did you come back?"
"There are some things that need to be taken care of."
Vilan raised his hand and rubbed his temples, then casually loosened the tie around his neck and unbuttoned his suit jacket and shirt.
Her beautiful collarbones and neck were clearly visible. Vilan raised her hand and rubbed them, her emerald green eyes blinking, her gaze full of fatigue.
Shen Yao couldn't help but raise her hand to cup Wei Lan's cheeks, look at him from left to right, and finally kiss him.
Vilan reached out and pulled Shen Yao into his arms, his soft golden hair falling onto Shen Yao's shoulder, his face buried against Shen Yao's shoulder.
"Many people today are planning to take this opportunity to eliminate their enemies," the butler alone has caught quite a few, including some ruthless individuals who destroy evidence.
"I knew it would be chaotic, but I didn't expect it to be this chaotic. The vampire nobles who came all suggested a purge. Fortunately, the hunters from the Hunter Association are all here, so we can use them to do the dirty work, making it easier for both sides to explain themselves."
Vilan spoke without restraint to Shen Yao, saying almost anything, including the cunning schemes of the vampire nobles.
Shen Yao hesitated, "It won't do the Towell family any good for their reputation."
After all, the incident happened while the person was attending a wedding. Even if a reasonable explanation can be given, it cannot be ruled out that certain forces will not believe it.
"It's all about ruining the reputation of the Towell family," Too Good is a shackle, locking up his offensive and preventing him from thinking too much about things that shouldn't exist in the first place.
Vilan raised his hand and gently patted Shen Yao's back, patiently explaining the current predicament facing the Towell family, "It's just that those old men can't see through it and think it's all a good thing," little did they know that it was nothing more than that.
If that day ever comes, as long as the Towell family's position is unstable, then regardless of whether they are on good terms or enemies, they will all join forces to attack the Towell family.
Vilan lowered her eyes, and finally smiled, "Yaoyao, this world is just that cruel and realistic."
Like this tranquil night, one might think everything is peaceful outside, but in reality, they are all fighting each other, the stench of blood in the air so strong it makes me nauseous.
After Vilan finished speaking, he got up and carried Shen Yao back to bed in a princess carry. He then took off his suit jacket with one hand and went to the bathroom to clean himself.
Shen Yao turned her head to look at the floor-to-ceiling window not far away. The drawn curtains perfectly blocked the view outside, but through the hazy gauze, Shen Yao could still notice the shadows moving outside.
Does it smell like blood?
It seems the Towell family is quite busy tonight.
It was indeed a busy time. For Shen Yao and Wei Lan, tonight was their wedding night, but for the other guests, it was a hunting season.
Phil coldly sliced down the vampires attacking him, killing them one by one with a single slash.
There was no way around it; she was just too strong. All those years of extra training and near-death experiences hadn't gone to waste. Besides, these vampires were more like test cannon fodder. If Phil couldn't even handle these, there was no point in coming to the Towell family to seek his own death.
"Hmph! How long can you be so smug?"
"At least you won't see it."
With a single slash, the vampire who died by the blade turned into a handful of yellow sand.
At this moment, Phil was standing on a lot of yellow sand, which was formed from the dead vampires.
The attacks continued until dawn. Phil shook his slightly dizzy head, using the long sword in his hand to support himself on the ground.
"Phil, you should leave."
Victoria appeared around this time, with obvious scars on her face.
Phil looked up. "Cousin, if we're going to leave, we'll leave together. You should know that staying won't end well."
Victoria gave a wry smile. "I can't leave, and besides, you can't take me with you."
Caesar is still too strong; even Victoria and Phil working together are no match for him.
"How will we know it won't work if we don't try? Besides, my cousin's health won't hold up for long."
As Phil finished speaking, Victoria's expression froze for a moment, though the change was very quick, Phil still caught it.
"Phil, remember my words, leave here, the sooner the better."
Victoria turned and disappeared, like a fleeting gust of wind.
Unfortunately, Phil appreciated Victoria's good intentions but couldn't agree, because she really couldn't leave. Not only were there so many people here who didn't want her to leave, but the Hunter Association also wouldn't allow her to leave.
When Phil chose to come here, he only had two paths: either fight his way back or die here.
Phil slowly stood up, supporting himself with his longsword, and then sheathed it.
Her shoulder-length hair was blown up by a sudden gust of wind, which also carried away the smell of blood from her body.
Well
Regardless, after a busy night, she should go back and get some rest and sleep. Otherwise, how will she cope with what's to come? She's the one being closely watched.
