Protagonist:

Shen Yao

'Is this Lisa the heroine?'

Shen Yao hid in the dormitory watching the situation outside, the system acting as a real-time broadcast, occasionally interjecting to explain what these people were actually saying.

After all, the broadcast images were silent; the system wanted text and images combined, but it didn't have that capability.

'Host, Lisa is just a minor supporting character; this Saint Tiana School isn't mentioned very often throughout the whole novel.'

It's just that this character Weilan occasionally appears in the mouths of the male and female leads, after all, the Toweier Family's power is too great; whether in the vampire world or the human world, they both fear each other.'

The system also emphasized that the Toweier Family were vampires standing on the human side; although they still couldn't change their underlying logic of needing to drink blood, at least they weren't villains who treated human lives as grass and raised humans as livestock.

Moreover, the potion newly developed by the Toweier Family could replace some of the effects of blood; besides occasionally needing to drink human blood to maintain their condition, they could rely on potions for the rest of the time.

Blah blah blah

When the system talked about the Toweier Family, it couldn't help but go on and on.

Shen Yao looked surprised. 'You weren't like this before?' At least when the system kept urging her to get close to Weilan, what the system cared about was still the gossip within Saint Tiana School.

'Tsk, the Toweier Family is really strong; Host, if you can successfully cling to a powerful thigh, let alone that future war, even the male and female leads in those two books wouldn't be opponents.'

After saying that, the system couldn't help but hehehehe foolishly, as if it had discovered some treasure.

Shen Yao:...?

Not understanding the point of the system's foolish laughter, Shen Yao propped her chin and continued watching the screen in front of her.

Weilan had already left; the werewolf dead on the ground was handled by the bodyguards left behind, and as for the vampire turned to sand and soil, no one cared.

In the following days, Shen Yao still maintained her frequency of attending classes and returning to the dormitory.

Because from her perspective, she didn't know about this three-way war between vampires, werewolves, and even hunters, so on the surface, her life had no changes at all.

But Shen Yao still noticed the sudden tranquility of Saint Tiana School.

Familiar classmates had disappeared; when asked, they said they had to withdraw from school and return home due to family matters, and as for whether they could really return home, no one could say clearly.

"Shen Yao, this is all a personal choice," Phil and Shen Yao were no longer classmates, but fortunately, the two could still occasionally meet in the vast campus.

Just like this time, Phil spoke to soothe Shen Yao, but more so to soothe her own heart.

They're dead!

They're all dead!

Phil knew the real situation, so her complexion and expression looked bad; she also hadn't yet realized how bad her own condition was, otherwise she wouldn't dare come to soothe Shen Yao, who was pretending to be panicked.

Shen Yao raised her hand and held Phil's wrist; it was very cold, even chilling.

She smiled and patted Phil's head, then said that they were still at Saint Tiana School; no matter what, the teaching quality here was strong, and staying was better than going back.

"Yes, staying is better than going back; those who go back are just a handful of ashes."

Sure enough, no matter which faction's eyes, they were the most harmless and also the easiest to be harmed.

Phil made up her mind and seriously told Shen Yao that she needed to take a leave of absence to rest recently; if possible, she hoped Shen Yao would go out less, "It's not yet safe."

Never-ending, right!

'When exactly are they going to stop making trouble?' Thinking Weilan stepping in was the ending, but it turned out to be just the beginning.

'Host, it should be said that this farce has officially opened its curtains; there won't be an end for the time being,' unless the three factions undergo a major reshuffle.

The system had been eavesdropping a lot recently, so the information it observed was more comprehensive.

Weilan currently dominated Saint Tiana School. Relying on family power and his own identity, he could try his best to protect this one mu three Portion of land.

But elsewhere, chaos was rampant, with constant news of disappearances or deaths.

Ultimately, it was because although transportation in this era was convenient, it was influenced by royal authority; some things could only be understood, not spoken.

Shen Yao being able to hide in Saint Tiana School was lucky; moreover, those ordinary people who didn't go to Shen Yao's place could only stay where they were and struggle bitterly.

Person and system sighed in unison, not knowing what to say.

Shen Yao lay back on the comfortable bed, closed her eyes, and stopped pondering these things; when the car reaches the mountain, there will be a path; what this world ultimately becomes has nothing to do with her.

'How is it none of your business? Host, we came with the main mission.'

The system once again hated iron for not becoming steel, looking like it had exploded with fur.

'Rest assured, the main mission won't be left undone; as for other things, it depends on the specific situation,' Shen Yao was referring to the war and chaos that would definitely happen in the future; if one could rise in power amidst the chaos, one could definitely get rich rewards, but Shen Yao didn't have much insistence on this, because the power of one person or one family was hard to turn the tide.

First hide in Saint Tiana School to save her life, then slowly explore the outside world bit by bit; Shen Yao swayed her body to change direction, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

…………

When Shen Yao saw Weilan again, time had come to the hot summer.

Weilan was still wearing his black pants and white clothes; his soft golden hair spread flat, and a pair of beautiful emerald eyes curved, shining brightly.

Shen Yao, wearing a tender green dress, walked on the road back to the dormitory when Weilan called out to her.

The girl's porcelain-white skin was like fine jade; her wrist was slender and long.

"Senior Weilan"

"Junior Shen Yao"

The two smiled and greeted each other; Weilan suddenly mentioned there was a performance in Songxue Town, "I don't know if Junior Shen Yao is willing to go out tonight."

Tonight?

Is this an invitation?

Why?

A string of question marks appeared in Shen Yao's mind, but Shen Yao still smiled and nodded; after all, it was the famous Senior Weilan personally inviting her, how could she refuse.

Having agreed on a time, Shen Yao left first; when evening came and she saw the black car stopped in front of the dormitory building, Shen Yao took the opportunity to get inside.

"Senior Weilan, you're early."

At this moment there was still a while before their appointed time; Shen Yao had only come downstairs to stretch her legs, but who would have known the black car was already parked and waiting.

"Making a girl wait — that's hardly gentlemanly behavior."

The corners of Weilan's lips curved upward in a faint smile, and he closed the notebook he had opened.

The System silently complained in Shen Yao's mind about the affected posturing.

Shen Yao: ……

"Senior hasn't been busy lately?" He has time to go out; it seems the situation at Saint Tiana School has stabilized.

"Not exactly busy. Fortunately my family helped a bit; relying on myself alone would still be a bit more than I could handle."

Weilan couldn't help a bitter smile, propping his chin on his hand without moving, his eyes looking over at her — tender and gentle.

Seeing this, Shen Yao pinched her hands placed in front of her, opened her mouth as if to speak but stopped, and still said nothing.

What could she say?

It seemed whatever she said wouldn't fit her persona; she and Weilan weren't that close.

The car beneath them drove forward, and before long the view ahead opened up.

At Weilan's request, the black car finally stopped at a corner.

Weilan got out first; because the sun had set and the weather turned cold, he had to put on a black coat that barely reached his knees.

Compared to Weilan, Shen Yao wore a slightly thin long dress, her coat a white knitted cardigan, her hair loose behind her head swaying in the wind.

"Junior Sister Shen Yao, let's go."

Weilan raised his hand and gestured forward slightly; Shen Yao smiled and nodded.

The two strolled along the streets of Songxue Town, golden remnants of the setting sun sprinkling over them, their conversation topics light and natural.

Weilan unexpectedly talked a lot about interesting incidents at Saint Tiana School.

He is also a student; daily life revolves around study, and the rest of his time is spent handling clan affairs and school problems — including those troublemaking vampires and werewolves before, which Weilan was responsible for stepping forward to resolve.

"…… Junior Sister's days are so leisurely; I feel a bit envious."

After speaking Weilan couldn't help laughing again, his clear voice carrying through the air to Shen Yao's ears.

Shen Yao looked up, turned her head toward the tall figure beside her, and thought: this young man really grows fast; vampire physical conditions are this good — truly heaven's darling.

"It's Senior's days that make Junior Sister envious, right?" Shen Yao's own life is dull and repetitive; if not for this System, a gossip king who can't stay idle, she might have been suffocated by Saint Tiana's academics.

"We seem not to know each other very well," Weilan curved his brows and eyes, "if Junior Sister is interested, feel free to listen more."

Weilan suddenly gave rise to a trace of malicious emotion; his life isn't as good as outsiders see — just the identity of a vampire noble is enough to give Weilan a headache.

Every day, opening and closing his eyes, it's all about balancing vampire and human affairs.

Weilan truly doesn't understand — what's there to balance? Would different species not conflict just because they're balanced? At most they don't make a scene on the surface; in private they still don't hold back.

Shen Yao put on a pretense of listening attentively; no matter what Weilan said she took it to heart and gave him a certain response.

One can't say whether this response was what Weilan hoped for, but this attitude of responding to everything — it made Weilan very satisfied.

The two arrived at a mall; Weilan invited Shen Yao inside to walk around — the lantern show he mentioned was at the edge of the empty space behind the mall.

"Over there they've already set up a stage; Junior Sister Shen Yao, want to go take a look?"

Let's take a look.

Shen Yao raised her head for a glance, couldn't help smiling and curving her brows and eyes.

The two walked into the mall; the decorations inside were exceptionally festive, pedestrians scattered about in twos and threes, looking not too old either.

Mm

They should all be Saint Tiana School students.

After all, people who come here to study basically graduate around ages 18–20.

Shen Yao has now been at Saint Tiana School for nearly four years; not only has her body grown a lot, even her features have enlarged in proportion.

Compared to her previous frail appearance, the current Shen Yao is somewhat healthier, but still possesses a pure white-moonlight temperament, her looks without a shred of aggressiveness.

It's the kind of face that makes people want to protect her — even Weilan, who prides himself on being a gentleman, is no exception; otherwise Weilan couldn't possibly keep running over to chat with Shen Yao whenever — he's not really that idle.

Taking the elevator to the fifth floor, Weilan and Shen Yao first ate at the restaurant here, then strolled outside to the already-erected stage.

The stage stood tall; not far off workers bustled busily without cease, and around them quite a few students who came to watch the light show were scattered, talking among themselves, eyes glancing toward the distance from time to time.

Shen Yao stood on tiptoe looking everywhere, until a faint smell drifted over.

Shen Yao: ……

Before Shen Yao could speak, her wrist was already directly grasped by Weilan.

"Suddenly remembered some matters to handle; Junior Sister, go inside the mall and wait for me first."

Weilan spoke in a tone that brooked no refusal, saying something not up for negotiation; Shen Yao could only dumbly follow Weilan's steps back into the mall behind her.

Inside the mall it was still peaceful years, not the slightest inkling that danger was quietly unfolding.

Weilan was somewhat panicked; if it were just himself he wouldn't care, but Shen Yao was before him — out of some thought even he couldn't guess, he simply didn't want to expose his vampire identity in front of Shen Yao.

"Stay here, I'll be right back."

Weilan finished speaking, not waiting for Shen Yao to say more, turned and ran.

The black car originally waiting not far away silently drove over; one bodyguard was left to stay by Shen Yao's side, the rest all left with Weilan.

"Host, aren't you worried about harming innocents?" The System couldn't help speaking up.

"Worried about what? Besides, if innocents really were harmed, could I stop it? What a joke — I'm just an ordinary human, no abilities to speak of, and would only drag things down."

The scenery outside the window remained beautiful, neon lights flashing in colorful hues; on the stage not far away, specks of light and shadow had already appeared flickering.

Even without going outside, Shen Yao could imagine the grandeur of this light festival — just a pity, she missed this opportunity.

The System indicated the Host didn't miss this opportunity; the Host would very likely lose her life here.

【Those vampires are coming over,】 clearly marked, probably prepared.

【Oh】

Shen Yao nodded coldly and indifferently, using the corner of her eye to watch the hidden bodyguards.

Hmm

She should be able to hold out until Weilan comes to save her; if she remembered correctly, Weilan's bodyguards were very capable, previously solving Saint Tiana School's trouble without Weilan needing to act herself.

Shen Yao's nervousness slowly eased considerably, even though the system was still making a great fuss in her consciousness.

Boom—

The collision of air currents blew Shen Yao's softly falling hair strands, and at the same time brought a stronger smell of blood.

The fight outside became intense, just then a violent sound suddenly rang in her ears, accompanied by multicolored light and shadow, and the loud cheers brought by the crowd.

The light show begins!

The people in the mall were attracted by the performance, completely ignoring those potential dangers.

Shen Yao stood motionless, like a lifeless ceramic doll.

Crash—

As the floor-to-ceiling window beside her shattered directly, Shen Yao subconsciously retreated two steps, then fell into an embrace full of fragrance.

How strange, no smell of blood; Weilan this time, did not kill anyone?
