Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Has he become a vampire?

There's something strange about it that I can't quite put my finger on.

As for the specific manifestations, Shen Yao could only figure it out little by little, since she had never been a vampire before. But one thing she was certain of was that after this round of modification and strengthening, her body, which had been experiencing problems due to pregnancy, had long since become just like a normal person's.

Oh

That's not quite accurate. She's a vampire now, so she's no longer a human with a heartbeat and body temperature. Right now, not only her fingers, but her whole body is ice-cold. Her skin is as smooth and shiny as a gemstone, but these are all normal perks of being a vampire.

Shen Yao nimbly got off the bed, ignoring the look in Wei Lan's eyes, and happily used her ability on the wall not far away.

The most basic thing is teleportation. It doesn't require anything. In fact, she only had to think about the action in her mind before she appeared in the corner of the wall.

Shen Yao:……?

"So vampire abilities are this useful?" Shen Yao's eyes widened with delight as she raised her hand and stroked her body repeatedly, causing Wei Lan to cover her mouth and chuckle. Hmm, it seemed that most people participating in the conversion ritual behaved this way.

Perhaps it's because they've never done it before that they're so curious right now?

"That's part of the reason, but more importantly, it's the fascination with vampires." Humans crave eternity, and even though vampires can't live forever, their lifespan of thousands of years and unchanging appearance still fascinate humans.

Many vampire servants are even the result of humans voluntarily transforming themselves in order to live on.

As a typical representative of vampire nobles born into the family, Vilan's view on the people Shen Yao mentioned was simple: an overly one-sided understanding would cause them immense suffering after becoming vampires.

"No matter how painful it is, it is still my own choice." If I cannot accept it calmly, then I will fall into depravity and perish.

In reality, those humans who pursue becoming vampires for immortality actually live to a much shorter age than ordinary people.

They often perish for various reasons. Some are driven by their own greed, while others make one wrong step after another and are used as cannon fodder. Once they are transformed into vampires, they are no longer in control of themselves, so their fate is unlikely to be good.

Shen Yao began to teleport around the corner of the wall repeatedly until she mastered this skill, and then she began to practice the other abilities that appeared in her mind.

Even the most basic skills were less effective due to Shen Yao's pregnancy, with only less than half remaining. This prompted Wei Lan to reassure Shen Yao that there was no rush, and that perhaps the offspring would provide a boost and allow Shen Yao to advance further.

Shen Yao: ...Huh?

Is that even a saying? How come she didn't know that?

“This kind of thing will only be kept secret, and no one can talk about it openly,” Vilan raised his eyebrows, then reached out and gently grasped Shen Yao’s slender wrist, which was icy cold like jade.

"Go back to your bedroom and rest. Half a month has already passed." Although this was a relatively quick conversion ritual, a lot of things were still delayed during this period.

Shen Yao felt apologetic, "You stayed here with me for half a month?"

There's no need to be so cautious. She's only recently become pregnant, and the transformation ritual gets safer as it progresses. Vilan can leave her here alone while he returns to his study to handle matters.

Vilan touched Shen Yao's shoulder, thinking to himself how could he possibly bear to leave her behind?

Furthermore, although the castle belongs to the Towell family and is their territory, there is no guarantee that there are traitors loyal to others within the castle.

When Vilan isn't looking, we can sneak into the basement and make our move. Even if Vilan finds out later, tearing the enemy to pieces won't help.

The story of his cheap father and mother taught Vilan that regret is the most useless thing, and that he should try his best to avoid feeling regret.

He took Shen Yao's hand and slowly led her out of the basement.

It was only when Shen Yao was in the corridor that she realized the basement was indeed somewhat eerie. Through her eyes, she saw many coffins placed side by side or individually, all containing the ancestors of the Tovell family who were in a deep sleep. The one in the innermost part was even a purebred vampire, the founder of the Tovell family and other noble vampire families, and the progenitor they worshipped as a god.

"He's dead, but no vampire would believe that."

Vilan glanced at the innermost room, which was locked both inside and out, and could not be opened by ordinary people.

"It would be hard for anyone to accept."

After all, emotions are complex, and even wild animals have their own preferences.

"The Tovir family's coffin contained only a severed arm; the rest of the body parts were kept in the homes of other vampire nobles."

These were the progenitor's last words before his death. The initial purpose was to prevent him from waking up, since pureblood vampires are immortal and when they fall into a deep sleep, it is a true sleep, and they may open their eyes at any time.

However, vampires lose their memories after falling into a deep sleep, even purebred vampires.

The progenitor grew weary of this situation and tired of a meaningless life, which is why he chose to sever and seal himself away. This practice has continued for hundreds of years.

Shen Yao:......

"If the body parts were to come together again," would it be resurrected?

Vilan tilted his head and pondered for a moment before giving only an ambiguous answer: "There is a high probability."

Because no one has ever tried to see just how powerful purebred vampires are, and they've only ever seen such things in books, the oldest of these vampire nobles is only a hundred years old.

The previous vampire world experienced a period of discontinuity, the reason for which is unknown. All that is known is that the vampire world's political system underwent a period of reform, and the human world and werewolves became much more peaceful.

The human world slowly regained its former vitality, and werewolves and vampires gradually faded into the background, until the current situation slowly accumulated and finally erupted, affecting the entire continent.

'System, do you think it's possible that pure-blooded vampires were involved in that war that swept across the entire continent?'

It seems that only the intervention of a more powerful force can stir up the winds and clouds and turn the tide.

Previously, she had doubts about the abilities and thoughts of the vampire nobles, but now, looking at it again, she wondered if these vampire nobles were just fish on a chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered by other, higher-level forces.

system:……

Surprisingly, the system remained silent. It was unclear whether it was startled by Shen Yao's guess or because Shen Yao's guess was too accurate, causing it to fear being exposed and thus hesitant to answer.

Ok

Both of the above possibilities are things the system will do, since the system simply cannot keep track of messages.

The system, unable to keep its word, was frantically pacing around in the host's mind.

Oops

How could the host be so smart? On one hand, they couldn't help but praise themselves for their accurate judgment of people, while on the other hand, they sighed that the host was so thoughtful, and they wondered if they could complete the task.

Of course it can be accomplished. After all, even if a purebred vampire awakens, he won't go on a killing spree, slaughtering all the vampire nobles and purging the vampire world's regime once again.

As long as there is room for negotiation, Vilan will do his best to protect themselves. In addition, given the great love of this pure-blood progenitor, he would probably quell the war first, given the war that has affected the entire world.

The two returned upstairs, and before leaving, they made sure the housekeeper locked the entire basement and forbade anyone from entering. Vilan then led Shen Yao to the study.

Unlike the usual study layout, Wei Lan raised her hand and turned a book on the bookshelf. Immediately, the narrow space revealed behind the bookshelf caught Shen Yao's attention.

what?

Is there another secret room in the room? I'm starting to have more and more illusions about the backup plans that those ancient aristocratic families liked to leave behind.

“There are just some books inside that can’t be shown to the public,” Vilan said as she led Shen Yao inside, explaining why she hadn’t told them at the wedding. “Non-vampires can’t see them; they’re covered with the curse of the pureblood progenitor.”

That curse means that any creature that comes into contact with it, except for vampires, will die.

Of course, Vilan couldn't take Shen Yao with him on a risk. Now that Shen Yao had successfully transformed, and the blood she used was the stock left behind by the pure-blooded progenitor, he had nothing to worry about.

Oh

That's it!

I never imagined the vampire world had so many intricacies, but speaking of curses...

Shen Yao lowered her eyes and saw a faint blue light appear on her fingertips.

It's a very light color, looking more like a firefly twinkling in the night sky.

This is a curse!

A curse that only Shen Yao could see! It's also an ability that Shen Yao inherited from the transformation ritual!

Shen Yao:......

To be honest, she always felt that she was somewhat of a chosen one. Could it be that because Caesar died, the change in the protagonist affected her fate, and in the end, it all came back to haunt her?

What about the child in her womb? Could it be the next main character?

Shen Yao's thoughts began to drift away, including some random ideas, until Wei Lan handed her a book. Only then did Shen Yao hide the faint blue light emanating from her fingertips and smile as she accepted the book, which was no thicker than an inch.

The small, secluded room had seats and chairs, so Shen Yao didn't stand on ceremony. After sitting down, she carefully flipped through the book in her hand. She could indeed feel the curse on the book. It was a curse that caused people to age rapidly, but it was neutralized because vampires don't age.

Shen Yao was curious about just how powerful this pureblood progenitor was. How could a curse that was casually set up last so long? Wouldn't the vampires from hundreds of years ago have been able to crush werewolves and humans?

slam-la-

Shen Yao ignored the sound of the pages turning; her attention was drawn to the text inside. It was a font she had never seen before, yet she miraculously managed to decipher it all.

hiss

No wonder vampires perform transformation rituals, and there are good and bad transformation rituals. Using good ritual items can indeed yield many benefits, including Shen Yao's seemingly innate mastery of vampire script.

Shen Yao stayed in the secret room until evening before getting up to stretch her body.

Well

Perhaps because she had become a vampire, her body lacked the fatigue that humans should have. Shen Yao was like a robot completely unaware of hardship, only realizing how late it was after she finished reading the thick book she was carrying.

In the past, she would have already eaten more than three meals a day, but now she doesn't feel hungry at all, and is even full of energy. She could stay in the secret room and continue reading all night without any problem.

“Your essence and blood haven’t been used up yet, so you don’t need to replenish your blood,” Vilan explained, and also mentioned that Shen Yao might need to overcome her psychological barriers regarding her future diet.

"Does it require drinking blood?" Shen Yao rested her chin on her hand, thinking that only in this situation would Vilan make her work hard to overcome it because of Shen Yao's former human identity.

Vilan nodded. "The potion can be used regularly, but you are pregnant." The potion's nutrients are not enough for the daily needs of both mother and child. Fresh blood is the best food.

Shen Yao:......

Well, Shen Yao had expected it, but the thought of actually drinking fresh blood was still quite awkward.

However, as a veteran who has traveled through many worlds, Shen Yao could not give up the main quest no matter what, because the child in her belly was the key to when she would go to the next mission world.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

…………

I thought drinking blood would make me gag and feel nauseous, but the taste of blood was surprisingly sweet.

Ok?

What is the principle?

Vampires and humans have different senses of smell and taste? Indeed, when Vilan eats, although his expression is calm and peaceful, it actually tastes like nothing at all, and the same principle may be true right now.

Murmur

Shen Yao drank the cup of blood without hesitation, and then rinsed her mouth to get rid of the taste.

Vilan himself took a few pills, which was his routine procedure; he would not get involved in any bloodshed unless absolutely necessary.

Shen Yao's belly had already developed a noticeable curve, especially when she wore a light coat, it looked like a small bowl was placed on her stomach.

Vilan lowered his eyes, raised his hand and gently touched Shen Yao's belly, indicating that vampires are born faster than humans, but because of their long lifespan, they grow up more slowly than humans.

"Actually, the timing isn't very good right now," the Sins Empire is in turmoil, and Vilan is trying to extricate the Towell family from the chaos.

The Towell family and the Sins Empire are deeply intertwined, as evidenced by the recent wedding. Even though many things happened at the wedding, causing the Sins Empire's higher-ups to develop obvious dissatisfaction with the Towell family, they are still entangled in the long run.

Shen Yao's pregnancy at this time is a good thing for the Towell family, because having an heir will stabilize the entire family.

But for Vilan, needing to focus some of his energy on Shen Yao and her son would lead to other problems.

However, there are other ways to solve these problems. Wei Lan raised his hand and pulled Shen Yao into his arms, indicating that he would try to spend more time with her if possible.

Vampires experience fluctuations in their abilities during pregnancy, sometimes losing control of themselves. Vilan told Shen Yao not to worry too much about these things, and that he would handle everything.

"Vilan"

Shen Yao leaned against Wei Lan's chest and began her pregnancy in this way.

Normally she doesn't need to do anything; she just eats, drinks, plays, and sleeps all day. Whenever her abilities get out of control, Vilan appears, and she just needs to stay put.
