Main Character:

Shen Yao

"Don't worry, compared to returning to the Toweier Family, I'm more willing to stay at Saint Tiana."

This wasn't for Shen Yao's sake or anything; it was purely because Weilan didn't want to invite trouble.

The Toweier Family right now is an explosive drum; who knows when it might suddenly blow up. Although Weilan is the Toweier Family's Heir, even he alone can't handle it.

The Sins Empire's forces are currently intricate and complex. If the Faluo Kingdom's internal unrest is because the King is aging and several princes all want to be the new King, giving rise to power struggles, then the Sins Empire is several forces that are nominally Nobles but actually vampires dueling magic with each other. They all want to swallow the Sins Empire whole and turn it into their exclusive private property.

There's nothing that can't be said. Facing Shen Yao's questions, Weilan was unexpectedly frank, pouring everything out in one go.

Shen Yao: ……

It sounds a bit messy, but Shen Yao somewhat understands why Saint Tiana is in such chaos. Turns out it's the spillover from the Sins Empire's dueling magic.

But just the spillover is already this dangerous; one really can't imagine what the Sins Empire's interior is actually like. The Toweier Family won't just become history, will it?

Weilan laughed lightly, his broad palm tightly clasping Shen Yao's small hand and slipping it into his own pocket.

"The Toweier Family still has some old antiques. Although their political sense of smell isn't sharp, there's absolutely no need to worry about their ability to read the times." So no matter how the Toweier Family talks, they can preserve themselves.

Hearing this, Shen Yao raised an eyebrow, thinking: Can some words really be said like this? Looks like the relationship between the Toweier Family and Weilan isn't that great.

Of course it isn't. Back when Weilan introduced vampires, he even sold himself along with them — a ruthless person. Moreover, now that he plans to be with Shen Yao, who knows? In the future Weilan might even turn around and stab the Toweier Family in the back.

But Weilan didn't say these things to Shen Yao for now. After all, they'd only just decided to be together. The girl was cute and obedient and weak; Weilan also didn't want to scare her all at once.

The two of them proceeded along the dim Path like this. Saint Tiana School at night was very quiet; besides the two of them, there was no one else around.

Oh

That's not quite right either. There are still crazy young men and women running out for secret trysts.

After Weilan once again covered her eyes with quick hands and swiftly switched routes, Shen Yao expressed that she could truly endure this.

Uh

Although this era's Nobles are somewhat crazy, Shen Yao has seen even lower bottom lines in Other Worlds long ago. It's just that bit of business between men and women; she's really proficient and understands it well.

Weilan: ……

Even though Shen Yao said this, Weilan didn't dare actually let her go see for herself.

Moreover, inside Saint Tiana School isn't safe. Those young men and women — Weilan sneered — can't even tell whether the person beside them is human or ghost.

"Let's go back. It's not early. Tomorrow I'll come pick you up."

Weilan smiled, bending slightly at the waist, and simultaneously raised a hand to stroke Shen Yao's face.

Hearing this, Shen Yao gave an "Mm." "Okay."

First Day of New Year, she's going out with her Boyfriend.

The two returned to the front of the Dormitory Building again. Because the Straight-line Distance was quite far, Weilan didn't care whether Shen Yao would be afraid; he simply took her and teleported back.

Shen Yao: ……

Shen Yao's eyes widened, blinking one by one like a frightened little kitten.

"Be good, go on in."

Weilan finished speaking gently and gave Shen Yao a big hug.

Weilan's embrace was warm as always, carrying a very pleasant fresh fragrance, making Shen Yao subconsciously close her eyes, wanting to immerse herself in it.

Shen Yao raised her arms around Weilan's waist, burying her whole person in his embrace, not wanting to leave.

Sigh

It's only been the first day, and she's already a bit gone over him. As expected, beauty is hard to resist, even for someone who always boasts of being rational.

System: …… This is being bewitched by beauty, right?

It didn't dare verbally retort to the Host, because the System understands it can't win an argument. Not only can it not win, it would be counter-argued, and in the end lose both the wife and the troops.

"Senior, see you tomorrow."

A muffled tone came from within Weilan's embrace. At the same time, Shen Yao left this warm embrace, her hands naturally dropping down.

"Junior, see you tomorrow."

Weilan raised a hand and waved. The two just stared at each other for a while, until Shen Yao couldn't hold on any longer. Her exposed little calves trembled in the Cold wind, and only then did she have to return to the dormitory to rest.

The moment Shen Yao entered the door, Weilan vanished from the Original Place directly. This is a vampire's Capability; used for journeying and leaving, it's the most useful.

After returning, she slept beautifully. Shen Yao's good mood lasted until Weilan appeared in front of the Dormitory Building.

Weilan held a bouquet of flowers in his arms. I don't know where this person bought them from. After all, during the New Year, most shops in Songxue Town are closed. Weilan's flowers looked incomparably Fresh; they were definitely just picked from a Garden.

"Do you like them?" These are the flowers he ran to quite a few places last night to get.

Weilan simultaneously used his vampire Capability to keep the Fresh Flowers looking vivid and alive, striving to let these flowers accompany Shen Yao for a few more days.

Weilan needs to travel far for a period of time; his return date is uncertain.

Shen Yao: …… Ah?

Just got together and now have to separate? Isn't this a bit too rushed?

Weilan expressed there was no choice. Who let the Toweier Family suddenly have an incident? He needs to return to the Sins Empire in advance, just so the Toweier Family can land safely.

"Is it very troublesome?"

Last night he was still saying he didn't want to go back, and today he runs into a problem he has no choice but to face.

Weilan pondered a moment. He explained the problem isn't troublesome, but behind the problem are many forces that are hard to deal with. The Toweier Family, as vampires standing on the human side, are not only an Exist worth both sides winning over, but also an Exist both sides need to be wary of.

"I suspect there are werewolf forces making trouble inside, just like what happened at Saint Tiana a while ago."

Weilan investigated left and right but still couldn't find out who the source was. It's just because the forces arranged to come over died Jiu Jiu Ba Ba, that this led to Saint Tiana School being unusually peaceful.

However, peace is only temporary, not forever; this time Weilan is leaving without taking his bodyguards (Bodyguards), so Shen Yao need not worry about safety here — it is just this uncertain return date that makes Shen Yao sigh, and she cannot help but raise her hand and gently tug at Weilan's sleeve.

Weilan: ……

Weilan raised his hand and stroked Shen Yao's soft long hair; at this moment nothing he could say would be appropriate, and Weilan also knew doing this was not quite right, but he could even less bring Shen Yao back with him — the Sins Empire's internal situation is truly chaotic, and as long as Shen Yao is not by his side she will be in danger.

Do not think vampires are creatures with any bottom line; what they like most is to threaten others by unconventional means in order to achieve their own ends.

Shen Yao is a human, and a human without any danger at that.

Once this person is exposed in the eyes of vampires, she becomes an object that can threaten Weilan at any time; they will not care about Shen Yao's wellbeing at all, and will only think of going to great lengths to seize Shen Yao and fulfill their wishes.

Hiding away his worried thoughts, Weilan led Shen Yao to the Lake Side to let the wind blow on them.

The weather at this season is excessively cold; even though Shen Yao is wrapped up tightly from head to toe, she still cannot block that cold wind desperately blowing in.

Weilan is still dressed in that extremely handsome outfit, making Shen Yao's eyes sparkle with stars as she looks at him.

There are not many people at the Lake Side; at this time most students staying on campus are hiding in their Dormitories, or have gone to warmer classrooms and the Library; the two of them running out to suffer the cold is indeed comparatively rare.

Weilan left a Wooden Box for Shen Yao, not letting her open it now, but telling her to carry it close to her body after she returns, to prevent a situation where he is not there and Shen Yao encounters danger and does not know what to do.

"Inside this is"

"Self-defense Tool"

Actually what is inside is not merely as simple as a Self-defense Tool, but some words Weilan cannot bring himself to say right now; this requires Shen Yao to discover bit by bit on her own.

Self-defense Tool, ah.

Shen Yao let out an "oh," nodded, and hugged the Wooden Box into her arms, also stating that when she returns she will certainly open it and keep it on her person at all times.

Weilan nodded, and then the two of them walked all around the Saint Tiana School campus; during this they also ate in the school cafeteria, until Weilan had no choice but to leave, and the two parted reluctantly.

Returning to the Dormitory, arriving at the Study.

Shen Yao opened the Wooden Box she had been holding in her arms, and then saw the silver Dagger placed inside.

The Dagger is not large, its full length no more than a palm's size; the blade shines with a beautiful silver-white color, and around it are inlaid lovely gemstones of various colors.

Wow

This Dagger is really so Delicate; Weilan truly understands her after all — Shen Yao is very Satisfied with the Self-defense Tool Weilan gave her.

It just so happens that the Saint Tiana School uniform is a short skirt; she can directly place the Dagger close to her body inside the Skirt Hem, and not have to worry about forgetting it.

"Host, this is not merely just a Dagger," the System cried out in alarm.

The gossip it has watched this period was not watched in vain; the Dagger Weilan gave Shen Yao — do not be fooled by how pretty it looks on the outside, like a Delicate little figurine — but in reality this thing possesses a very terrifying name: Bloodthirsty Rose.

"It is an absolute killing weapon specially used to kill certain non-human creatures," the System stated that there are only a few Bloodthirsty Roses in total, and those who obtain them treat them as Heirlooms, not easily taking them out to display.

Clearly Weilan is an exception, actually love-brained enough to give the Dagger to Shen Yao — truly not afraid Shen Yao might slip and give him a slash.

Shen Yao: ……

"I know it is not merely a Self-defense Tool, and not an ordinary Dagger, but so what?" If it truly comes to the point where Shen Yao has to use this, Weilan will most likely meet with more misfortune than good.

Idly playing with this Dagger, Shen Yao suddenly thought of the Saint Tiana School's Hunters; Weilan is about to leave — will that group also leave?

"No no no, they still have to stay at Saint Tiana," this school does not have only Weilan as a vampire; the Hunters' Duty is to maintain human society's stability — Weilan counts as an Unstable factor; with this person gone, in the Hunters' eyes it would practically be cause for celebration — how could they possibly leave together with Weilan's departure?

"Oh, this group of Hunters," Shen Yao shook her head; in her view, this group staying at Saint Tiana appears to have no use whatsoever.

Who knows how the Hunter Association arranged it; the hatred in that Lisa's eyes, Shen Yao saw clearly and plainly.

This one is a ticking time Bomb; who knows when she might suddenly go off with a bang — Shen Yao is very certain of how intense Lisa's hatred is, yet the Hunter Association precisely arranged such a person to stay at Saint Tiana School.

"Host, quickly stop thinking about these Hunters; whatever they do has nothing to do with us."

When Weilan was here they dared not speak; with Weilan gone, whether they speak or not does not matter — the System urged the Host to pay more attention to the Outside World; who knows when the two of them might go out.

Shen Yao: …… Huh?

"Saint Tiana School no longer satisfies you?" So much gossip and it's still not enough?

"Hehe, the Sins Empire's excitement is even better to watch," more interesting than the Faluo Kingdom's princes' Dispute.

The System's laugh is rather lewd; Shen Yao can also understand the System's implied meaning — there is definitely something very big and exciting inside.

"Good to watch but cannot go, at least temporarily not," Shen Yao rolled her eyes at the Study empty except for herself, and followed up with words to interest the System: better to pay more attention to Weilan — at least she would know Weilan's situation.

System: …… Having the opposite sex and no humanity, right?

Unable to resist badmouthing its own Host, the System listlessly stated it would keep an eye on Weilan, but the Sins Empire is still too far from the Faluo Kingdom — what it can monitor is not much; it told the Host to make psychological preparations in advance.

Psychological preparations?

Prepare for what?

Weilan will not really meet with mishap, but the System might go crazy at any time.

Shen Yao held back her urge to complain and did not say it out loud, but smiled and nodded, and by the way hurriedly sent the System far away — hmm, striving to let the System not disturb her.

System: ……

The System does not know its Host despises it in every way; it has now already turned toward the distance, wishing it could circle Weilan non-stop all day.

Benefiting from the individual ability gap of vampires, Weilan really runs too fast — one second he is still in the Study communicating with clansmen about what to accompany, the next second he appears in a distant Room, dragging out the hidden traitor.

The System was truly serious, serious, and serious again, yet in the end still lost track of Weilan, and could only turn to listen to the Toweier Family other people's secrets.

Fortunately the Toweier Family is numerous and powerful; here a Small Group, there a Small Group — the System fundamentally does not worry that there will be no fun here.

Gah gah gah gah gah

The System's laugh is like hundreds of Ducks quarrelling, successfully making Shen Yao's head swell and ache.

Shen Yao: ……

The Saint Tiana School where Shen Yao is has already welcomed the season of spring warmth and blooming flowers.

Students returning after the Holiday ended have come back to campus one after another, making the quiet campus Lively once again.

Shen Yao hugs her books to class and after class every day; during occasional free time she also goes out with good friends — the previous classmate Phil has not appeared for a period of time; it is said he took long leave due to health reasons.

But Shen Yao knows Phil chose to join the Hunters and is training in an unknown location — it can be seen that the previous trip home indeed involved matters that cannot be told to outsiders.

"Truly dangerous, ah; by the way, where are the male and female leads?"

"Still caught in all sorts of pulling and entanglement, the story has only just begun; the excitement will unfold later."
