Protagonist:
Shen Yao
Weilan took Shen Yao away, and although Xize'er knew, he did not stop her.
After all, his target was never Shen Yao; since Weilan was willing to cooperate with him, the respect due should still be given, otherwise once the two turned against each other, everything done before would be in vain.
"Young Master, but Young Master Weilan's side..." the steward beside him hesitated, an old man who had watched Xize'er grow up and understood how much his young master valued Young Master Weilan.
The vampire-born steward viewed ordinary humans through a lens of arrogance, not believing Young Master Weilan would sacrifice so much for a human.
Were the words Young Master Weilan said before meant to deliberately placate his own young master? In truth, that Miss Shen Yao was not important at all; once interests were at stake, Young Master Weilan would still stab his own young master in the back without hesitation.
"Rest assured, Weilan knows what he is doing; with his character, he will not go back on his word," this was the basic bottom line of being a vampire noble; even if Weilan did not care much for that Shen Yao, he would naturally come to his own territory to see him.
Xize'er casually tossed the letter in his hand into the corner without a care, "Steward, what we need to do now is perfect the layout; we cannot fail again this time."
Xize'er did not have many opportunities; rather than paying attention to these unimportant people, he might as well focus all his attention on the upcoming plan.
The current Xize'er was not yet the vampire who lived and died for the hunter heroine; his love-struck brain had not appeared, and all there was was that damned career drive.
Vampires' emotions were pure and intense; after all, they were cold-blooded animals, and for the sake of rising to the top, what was patricide and fratricide?
Shen Yao came out of the castle and looked up at Weilan's profile beside her.
Weilan nodded slightly and asked, what was wrong?
Shen Yao shook her head, then pointed behind her, "The castle's basement."
Weilan was not surprised by this, "Was it the Bloodthirsty Rose that reminded you?"
The Bloodthirsty Rose was not just a self-defense weapon; it had other functions and uses, otherwise it could not be extraordinarily precious, and Weilan was not one to collect junk.
With an "en," Shen Yao explained that she had been somewhat afraid while staying in the castle before, "always worrying that monsters would rush out."
"Don't be afraid; those monsters are vampires whose transformation failed," Weilan did not avoid Shen Yao's meaning, explaining that the basement's disturbance was related to the transformation experiment, and not everyone could become a vampire; many transformation failures turned into neither-human-nor-ghost monsters.
"The Toweier Family also has such experiments, but they were forced to stop in recent years," at least they had to save some face for humans and the Hunter Association.
As for Xize'er's side, those people did not stand on the human side at all; they were used to doing whatever they wanted, and the Hunter Association dared not interfere.
Shen Yao made an "oh" sound, as expected; after all, vampires were so powerful that there were few things in this world that could restrain them.
To put it without exaggeration, vampires had already restrained themselves quite a bit now; compared to before, they had been even more wanton.
Tsk.
Shen Yao even felt somewhat fortunate that her appearance had been timely; she must have been influenced by the environment.
Shaking her head to toss out some inappropriate thoughts, Shen Yao took Weilan's hand, and the two of them got straight into the car and sat down.
The remaining black car moved slightly, and within moments disappeared into the night; the distant castle slowly vanished from Shen Yao's sight until it could no longer be seen.
Shen Yao turned back, her gaze once again fixed on Weilan beside her.
Weilan:...?
Weilan raised his hand and touched Shen Yao's cheek; they were currently sitting in the back seat of the sedan, and for the convenience of their conversation, a partition had been raised in the middle.
"I was just thinking of Saint Tiana School; it has been half a month since we came out this time," although during this period Shen Yao thought most about escaping, for various reasons she had not managed to escape.
It should be said that fortunately Xize'er still had some sense; otherwise, relying solely on her tiny abilities and the Bloodthirsty Rose's self-defense skills, Weilan might not have seen her alive and jumping around.
"The Saint Tiana School side is fine, but because of Xize'er's arrangement, students at Saint Tiana School died in this attack," Weilan said, then mentioned that since Shen Yao had come to the Sins Empire, she might as well move around with him; once things here were all handled, the two of them would return to Saint Tiana School.
Shen Yao:...
Shen Yao's beautiful eyes suddenly widened; this? Was this really okay?
"Wasn't it said before," Shen Yao tightly clutched her own cuffs with both hands, while lowering her head to show she was willing to return to Saint Tiana School early; being in the Sins Empire was causing trouble for Weilan, and she did not want to experience being caught by Xize'er again, "Senior Brother has been running back and forth for me, truly too tiring."
Weilan smiled and touched Shen Yao's head, indicating these were all things he was willing to do; besides, being caught by Xize'er was also a result of being implicated by her, and Shen Yao did not need to drag everything onto herself.
"Senior Brother," Shen Yao said, and directly threw herself into Weilan's embrace with a sideways movement.
A warm body suddenly appeared in his embrace; Weilan raised his hand to catch her, not forgetting to smile and comfort her.
The two of them talked like this until the remaining black car slowly stopped.
Shen Yao stood up and somewhat embarrassedly tidied her somewhat messy hair.
The system curled its lip, indicating the host really did not need to, "There is no one else here, and besides, Weilan's status is the highest"; as a human who had already been marked by Weilan, other vampires absolutely did not dare to offend her.
"Knowing is one thing, but a maiden's thoughts; I advise you best not to guess randomly."
Shen Yao tidied her hair and clothes, then carefully got out of the car.
Weilan had instructed the servants here in advance to clean up a bedroom; Shen Yao could move in directly upon arrival, and even here, because the location was remote, there were few unstable factors (excluding Weilan, the greatest factor).
"I still need to return to the Toweier Family once," while sending Shen Yao into the bedroom, Weilan did not forget to explain where he was going next and what he would do, so Shen Yao need not worry too much; "There are usually not many people coming here; you can go out and play anytime."
Weilan knew Shen Yao had been trapped in the room this whole time and unable to move about freely, so he brought Shen Yao to this relatively remote but not very dangerous manor.
Everyone around was his people; Weilan could rest assured and let Shen Yao play with peace of mind.
Shen Yao's eyes were bright and sparkling; she asked "really?" several times, and after Weilan kept nodding, she cheered and ran in a circle, indicating she would go for a walk around the area early tomorrow morning.
Heaven only knew how hard it was to have only a palm-sized area to move around every day; Shen Yao felt the imprisoned heroines in those novels were truly not easy, and the happy ending they finally achieved was probably a compromise.
Weilan left; after sending Shen Yao there, he turned around and left.
This manor was smaller than the previous castle, but still looked very European in style; on the morning after Shen Yao slept a full sleep, she carefully toured the entire manor.
This place was really beautiful, with all kinds of beautiful flowers blooming around; Shen Yao stood in the garden, took a deep breath, and finally raised her hand to pick a bunch of flowers and put them in a vase.
The fresh flowers in the vase were fragrant; facing the open window, Shen Yao was chatting with the system in her mind.
The system chattered that this place was really not bad; although there was no gossip, it had not rested much for such a long time, and now occasionally being quiet for a while could be considered rare leisure time.
Shen Yao:...
"I really didn't expect you to think this way?" After all, in Shen Yao's eyes, the system was one that couldn't join in without liveliness; a quiet life? That definitely was not the system.
"Host, we're in the Sins Empire this time," the system said. Now that the previous idea had come true, did the host want to seize the opportunity to beg Weilan to take her for a good tour of the Sins Empire?
"There's not much difference between here and the Faluo Kingdom, except that the Sins Empire's area will be larger, and its national territory more vast."
The problems the Faluo Kingdom has will only be more numerous in the Sins Empire, after all, human nature is a shared issue; there are many vampires in the Sins Empire, but vampires have their own thoughts too.
Xize'er was willing to cooperate with Weilan, while others just wanted to beat Weilan into submission and expand their forces.
"Host, do you want to know who Xize'er's destined partner is?"
"Do I know this person?"
"No, at least not now."
Shen Yao raised her eyebrows upon hearing this; if that was the case, she would probably meet her in the future.
System:...
It knew it couldn't hide it from the host; it always thought its words were flawless, but in the end, they were full of holes.
Sigh.
"Host, Xize'er's destined partner is currently in the Sins Empire and has a certain connection to the Toweier Family where Weilan is," after all, the Toweier Family stood on the human side, so the Hunter Association would definitely maintain a good relationship with the Toweier Family.
"This time Xize'er is cooperating with Weilan; will that destined partner appear?"
Shen Yao rested her chin on her hand, and one sentence left the system speechless.
Uh.
On this track, the host was still too over the top; how on earth did she manage to think of all this?
To Shen Yao, the system's silence was tacit agreement; she smiled slightly, indicating the system was still too immature and really didn't know how to express things tactfully at all.
The topic of one person and one system came to an end; Shen Yao changed her clothes again and went out to play accompanied by the manor's servants.
The scenery outside was indeed more beautiful than the manor; not far away there was a naturally formed lake, and not far away, people were walking around in twos and threes.
A servant stopped Shen Yao and explained, "Miss Shen, those are ordinary people living nearby."
Of course, they weren't truly ordinary; they had countless connections to the Toweier Family, whether kinship or subordination.
Shen Yao made an "oh" sound. "Can I go over there?" Weilan had told her to walk around freely, so that meant the risks around her simply didn't exist for her.
"Of course, Miss Shen, please."
The servant could still tell the difference between the big and small cards; since Shen Yao wanted to walk around, how could a servant say more to stop her master.
Shen Yao smiled and made an "mm" sound, then turned and walked toward the lakeside not far away; the people there, upon seeing Shen Yao coming, all gave a respectful bow with solemn faces.
They didn't really know Shen Yao, but they recognized the servant by Shen Yao's side; he was someone from Young Master Weilan's manor. It was rare for a servant to accompany someone at their side, so this person must have a close relationship with Young Master Weilan.
Young Master Weilan was not someone they could offend; everyone dared not offend Shen Yao, nor dare to recklessly curry favor and annoy Shen Yao.
When they turned and left, their steps were hurried, fearing Shen Yao would call them over and ask this and that.
Shen Yao:...
Shen Yao raised her hand and scratched her chin. "Am I really that scary?"
Tsk.
She felt her attitude was kind, with not the slightest intention of causing trouble.
"Perhaps the host carries Weilan's aura; they're afraid."
Weilan wasn't some kind-hearted persona; these days in the Sins Empire she had killed plenty, and these people had some news channels, worried about bringing disaster upon themselves.
The system's analysis couldn't be said to be one hundred percent accurate, but it was close.
These people indeed worried about offending Weilan; no matter how good the superior's persona was, to the inferior, they were all a ticking time bomb.
Because the other party might hurt them at any time; the best method was to stay far away and not be easily noticed by the other party.
Shen Yao helplessly raised her eyebrows; accompanied by the servant, she toured the entire lake area alone, and finally, while walking forward along the path, she encountered several vampire children running, jumping, and playing.
Indeed, they were superior members of the beauty association; the children had delicate features, and even if slightly spoiled, they would still make people feel forgiving.
Shen Yao saw another child accidentally fall beside her leg; just as she was about to bend down and stretch out her hand to help the person up, she didn't expect the other party to reveal two fangs, and was directly thrown away by the servant beside her with force.
Bang—
The sound was really loud, but vampire children had thick skin and thick flesh and weren't afraid of falling.
"Miss Shen, are you alright?"
The servant was frightened into a racing heart, eyes fixed on Shen Yao beside him without blinking.
"I'm fine, no need to be so nervous; he just couldn't control himself, he wouldn't really bite."
Shen Yao still carried the Bloodthirsty Rose with her; that little vampire was just an instinctive reaction.
Upon hearing this, the servant didn't reply, thinking that even if it happened again, she would still act this way; after all, if Miss Shen was injured, he would inevitably be punished.
The vampire child who had been thrown away had already run far; the street that originally had people became empty and desolate.
Shen Yao told the servant not to worry so much; she wasn't completely without self-preservation ability; it was just that Xize'er, who had caught her before, was too over the top; even with ten thousand methods, Shen Yao couldn't escape.
Walking and stopping, raising her head to gaze into the distance.
By the time Shen Yao returned to the manor, the time outside had already reached noon.
She really had walked for a long time.
The kitchen had already prepared the lunch Shen Yao would use; although these vampires, besides potions and blood plasma, didn't need extra food at all.
But Shen Yao was still an ordinary person; fresh, delicious, steaming hot meals were served, and she very smoothly filled her belly.
After eating and drinking her fill, Shen Yao returned to her room to rest; her time at the manor, because there were no accidents, was spent quite carefree.
Every day she either went out or entertained herself, until Weilan's black car appeared at the manor's doorway; standing tall and straight before the car, she came to pick up Shen Yao with a beaming smile.
