Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

The moment Shen Yao opened her eyes, she heard the system wailing in her mind.

Shen Yao:......

How should I put it? It wasn't surprising at all. After all, the system was always like this, prone to making a fuss and especially fond of causing trouble when Shen Yao was not in a good state of mind.

My head feels a little sore.

Shen Yao raised her hand and pressed hard against her temples, then slowly sat up from the bed.

With Wei Lan not around, he must have gone to his study to handle some matters. Knowing that she had other tasks to complete today, Shen Yao was even less willing to chat idly with the system.

system:……

The system originally thought that the host would ask about the reason for its scream, but the host was too calm and turned to do other things, completely abandoning the system.

what?

How could the 'host' do this?

The system had already changed its clothes, and the servants who were waiting outside the door entered, carrying a dress that Shen Yao needed to choose, as well as other wedding banquet matters.

"I'm very busy here. If you don't have anything urgent, please wait a little longer."

'...But my matter is also very urgent.'

'How anxious are you?'

'Yes, it's about Phil, she...'

'She's still alive, but in a dangerous situation,' Shen Yao continued mentally, picking up where the system left off. 'As long as she's not dead, it's not a big deal. Besides, even if she really dies here, it has nothing to do with me; the Hunter Association knows perfectly well what's going on.'

It's all Phil's fault for his own choice. People have to take responsibility for their decisions, don't they?

system:……

The system was speechless and had nothing to say, as if it had suddenly disappeared, which finally made Shen Yao's mind clearer.

“That’s all. Also, tell the housekeeper to raise the standard of the banquet a bit. There might be quite a few guests who won’t be there. Tell him not to be surprised.”

"Yes, ma'am"

Shen Yao got up and went to the study, while Wei Lan was engrossed in handling affairs.

Seeing Shen Yao come over, Wei Lan raised an eyebrow and then mentioned that just last night, the number of guests he had invited had decreased by one-fifth.

Shen Yao:......

Despite having made preparations, when the facts were actually presented, Shen Yao still found that she had not prepared enough, and the reality was far too dire.

Shen Yao pinched her chin and nodded, then placed her hand on Wei Lan's shoulder, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

Besides those two words, Shen Yao couldn't think of anything else to say to comfort Wei Lan.

Good heavens, they've turned their wedding banquet into a hunting ground! All sorts of grudges and feuds are going to be settled here. Luckily, the Towell family is so powerful that most people don't dare to provoke them. Otherwise, just the sheer number of disappearances would cost them a fortune in resources.

Vilan raised her hand and patted Shen Yao's hand, mentioning that she would need Shen Yao's help at the banquet later, "but there's no need to give those people too much face."

If some people don't know how to communicate properly, then let them fend for themselves.

Vilan smiled slightly, a surge of emotions welling up in his emerald eyes, especially his usually gentle face, which now held a hint of coldness and ruthlessness.

It's clear that the number of casualties last night really affected Vilan.

How little they care about him as the heir! Doing all this on such a joyous occasion. It seems that Caesar's previous habit of killing at the drop of a hat did have some effect. At least it can deter those who don't know their place and make them realize that doing too much without the master's permission will lead to their own demise.

"Go back to your room and rest," Vilan said, getting up and putting his arm around Shen Yao's shoulder, personally escorting her back.

Turning to summon the elusive butler, Vilan's tone was visibly cold, "Do you know who was behind it last night?"

The butler nodded. "Sir, these people have absolutely no scruples."

“Yes, it seems we were too easy to talk to, making them think the Towell family is nothing special,” Vilan looked down at his fingers. “Let’s deal with it before today’s banquet starts.”

Since he's so clueless, then go down and explain to the ancestors of the Towell family. Vilan has a flaw: he hates excuses.

No matter how eloquently you speak afterwards, it will never satisfy Vilan.

After all, Vilan has always followed the principle of acting according to his heart, but the Towell family has always been restraining him. This time, he took the opportunity to break free of the restraints, so that he wouldn't have to be nagged by those old men if he did anything in the future.

Upon hearing this, the butler simply replied "yes," and then suddenly disappeared.

Vilan returned to his study, opened a list of deceased individuals that had been delivered, scribbled a few lines on it casually, and then tossed it aside, ignoring it completely.

When Shen Yao changed into her gown and arrived at the banquet hall, she noticed that the guests were all moving rather stiffly.

You could clearly sense their panic, unease, and fear, but for various reasons, they couldn't leave for the time being and had to grit their teeth and participate in the subsequent procedures.

Shen Yao:......

The air was filled with the scent of perfume from the guests. Shen Yao covered her nose, as expected, and finally walked to the window to relieve her discomfort.

'System, why are there so many fewer people again?' This isn't one-fifth, it's clearly a quarter. In less than an hour, people have died again?

"Veland personally instructed the butler to do it, host. The sand piled up outside has become a small mountain," the system exaggeratedly said, indicating that its own people were ruthless. Last night, it watched Phil take down one by one with a single slash and thought he was indeed a veteran hunter. Now, seeing the butler fall in droves with a swift stroke, it thought, "Hiss, no wonder the Hunter Association sent Phil here to appease the vampires. Because with the Hunter Association's foundation, they are no match for these gifted non-human creatures!"

'Oh, no wonder he wanted to take me back to my room; he was there to explain this matter.'

That's understandable. Vilan hates things that go beyond his control. If those people had just paid a little attention to the fact that this is Towell family territory last night, they would still be standing in the banquet hall with its bright lights and revelry today.

"It's a pity they were too arrogant; they were more like beasts than humans."

Phil tilted his head back, took a sip of his drink, and turned to smile at Victoria, who had come looking for him.

Victoria: ...

I finally had a chance to talk to Phil, but it turns out he's really determined to fight to the bitter end.

“Cousin, let’s go back, it’ll be difficult if we’re late,” Phil said. He didn’t know Caesar’s character and didn’t want to put Victoria in a difficult position. He put down his empty wine glass, looked around, and then headed toward Shen Yao in the distance.

Victoria watched Phil leave until a pair of arms were placed on her shoulders—it was Caesar.

Victoria turned her head and turned slightly, wondering why this person was in the mood to come to her. Half of the subordinates he brought with him were dead, yet he could still laugh.

"Why not laugh? If you're dead, you're dead. Those things can be mass-produced anytime."

Darling, you've been by my side for so long, don't you understand me best?

Caesar was not ashamed but proud. He was not from the Tolville family and did not stand on the side of humans. However, he had always done whatever he wanted when it came to mass-producing vampires. He showed no respect to the Hunter Association, but in the end, the other party had to bow down to him.

His lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug look on his face.

Caesar lowered his eyes to meet Victoria's gaze, which appeared to her as utter arrogance.

Victoria was truly impressed, thinking to herself that Caesar always liked to do this kind of thing, but she wondered if he could escape the Hunter Association's pursuit this time.

Unconvinced, I looked back as well. The two handsome men and beautiful women were a perfect match in terms of looks. If I didn't know the inside story, I would have thought they were acting in some idol drama.

'Pfft, so they're all smiles on the surface but not on the inside? No wonder Phil contacted Victoria.'

'Host, stop laughing, Phil is coming.'

The system notification ended a second before Phil appeared in front of Shen Yao.

"haven't seen you for a long time"

"haven't seen you for a long time"

If you calculate the time, Shen Yao and Phil haven't seen each other for about four or five years.

The last time, Shen Yao returned to Saint Tiana, where Phil directly blocked the door to test her. Then, Vilan discovered Phil's affair and subsequently expelled him without any leniency.

Congratulations on your marriage!

Phil felt that she spoke very sincerely, because as Shen Yao's friend in St. Tiana, Phil had no conflict of interest with her.

Phil was too blunt before, blaming Shen Yao for Lisa's death. Although it was later confirmed that they were directly related to Lisa's death, the real culprit was Lisa, who brought it upon herself.

We can't blame everything on Shen Yao just because she married a vampire she hates.

Perhaps due to the training he's undergone over the years, Phil doesn't seem like a vampire hunter at all.

After all, constantly killing people inevitably affects one's emotions. Shen Yao had seen many vampire hunters around Vilan, whose eyes were full of unconcealed ferocity. Even if they didn't die at the hands of vampires, they would die at her hands.

"I really didn't expect you to come this time."

She thought they would never meet again, but they ended up meeting here after many twists and turns.

"Yes, back in St. Tiana, no one would have imagined it would turn out like this."

At least in Phil's view, she was only trying to protect herself at first.

"Hunter's Guild, are you really not leaving?" Shen Yao looked at Phil, finding it hard to understand the girl's stubbornness, even though she and Victoria were blood relatives.

Phil shook his head. "I'm here to complete a task I must accomplish."

She came not only for Victoria, but also for her long-deceased colleagues and predecessors; she was there for revenge.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," I apologize for causing you so much trouble, and for interrupting your wedding.

Shen Yao smiled and shook her head. "There's no need for that. We have no shortage of guests here with the same purpose as you." They all enjoyed everything with a clear conscience. Phil was just a victim in the first place.

"I'll go greet the other guests, please go ahead," Shen Yao didn't talk to Phil for too long. She had some things she couldn't refuse, unlike Phil.

Phil smiled and nodded, then turned and parted ways with Shen Yao.

This was their first and last formal meeting at the wedding banquet.

When Shen Yao heard news of Phil again, it was news of his death.

Shen Yao:......

This is not unexpected, after all, Phil was already in a dangerous situation, and now he was in an even more dangerous place. In the end, he could not escape the vampire's revenge, which seems reasonable.

"Caesar is dead."

Vilan calmly announced a bombshell, stating that Victoria had killed Caesar and successfully left the Sins Empire, disappearing without a trace.

“Victoria’s physical condition has led her to become a new vampire, inheriting some of Caesar’s abilities.”

Vilan crossed his arms over his chest and looked out the window not far away.

'System, protagonist dead, novel collapsed?'

'...No, they'll just change the main character.'

Shen Yao pressed the system, "The protagonist won't become us, will they?"

system:……

The system didn't dare to speak, remaining silent no matter how much Shen Yao pressed it.

Shen Yao:......

Alright, I'm impressed that I can predict the worst-case scenario without even knowing it!

Seeing that Shen Yao was in a bad mood, Wei Lan assumed it was because of Phil and Victoria's situation. He quickly comforted Shen Yao, telling her not to think too much. Phil's death was somewhat expected, and Victoria becoming a vampire this time was actually beneficial to her.

"It'll be tough lately, though, as we'll have to evade vampires." But Caesar is very powerful, and Victoria, who inherited some of Caesar's abilities, can easily handle ordinary vampires.

Moreover, Victoria was a former hunter, and no one knows how many weapons she has to control vampires, so she is safe.

"Sigh, who knew they would make such a fuss," Shen Yao raised her hand to rub her forehead, and leaned directly into Wei Lan's arms as Wei Lan reached out to support her arm.

Vilan subconsciously patted Shen Yao's hand, thinking to himself that no one had expected this situation.

Vilan knew Caesar would die, but he didn't expect him to die at the hands of Victoria and Phil. Perhaps this was the consequence of his arrogance. Caesar always looked down on everyone around him, and he didn't even take much precautions against Victoria, whom he had a grudge against. He deserved to die.

Putting aside these unpleasant things for now, after the wedding, Vilan put aside his work and took Shen Yao to the bottom of the castle to perform the vampire transformation ritual.

Originally, Vilan didn't want to rush things, but Shen Yao was already pregnant. Considering that giving birth to a vampire with an ordinary body would be extremely taxing on her, Vilan brought forward the conversion time and personally participated in the entire process to ensure Shen Yao's absolute safety.

Shen Yao didn't want Wei Lan to be so busy, especially since the transformation ritual wasn't actually difficult; the main problem was what the ritual required.

Vilan comes from the Tovil family and is currently the head of the Tovil family. The blood he can provide is the purest, and there is no possibility of fatal problems such as failed conversion.

Lying in bed feels like taking a nap; people are reluctant to get up in a comfortable and warm environment.

Shen Yao didn't know how long she had been lying there. She only knew that she felt very comfortable until she heard Wei Lan calling her, which woke her up.

Slowly opening her eyes and looking around, Shen Yao subconsciously tried to open her mouth to speak, but her voice was hoarse and unlike her usual self. Even when she raised her hand to touch Wei Lan's cheek, it was icy cold.

Oh, now I remember, she's a pure vampire too.
