Main Character:

Shen Yao

The next morning, after Shen Yao finished washing up, she went downstairs to eat with Weilan.

Weilan had gone another whole night without sleep; for vampires this was routine, after all, that strange vampire next door who had been singled out by the System for blood extraction threw parties there all night long.

"Tsk, truly a bunch of lawless crazy people."

The System complained these vampires weren't human; it was just that they hid in the hotel and didn't go out to harm people, otherwise the humans of this world couldn't withstand the killing.

"Lawless? You're right about that, but they don't count as crazy people," crazy people are human, they can't even be called human.

One person and one System walked along, debating as they went.

On the road, Shen Yao ran into quite a few vampires heading out; without exception, upon noticing Weilan by Shen Yao's side — who was impossible to ignore — they all became excessively well-behaved.

Tsk tsk tsk

"Let's go, today we continue our journey, aiming to return to Saint Tiana School as early as possible."

They had been out for nearly a month; unlike Weilan's attitude toward school, Shen Yao was a proper student who had paid sky-high tuition.

Although the Kain family showed little intention of interfering with her, being away from Saint Tiana for so long, Shen Yao also worried that the Kain family back in the town would get anxious and frantic upon hearing the news.

No matter how clear their relationship was to some, most people still couldn't imagine it; stepping outside the three circles already wrestling together, ordinary people could never understand that a vampire noble with sky-reaching power would take a human noble girl as true love.

Delicious dishes were brought up by the waitstaff as the two took their seats.

Shen Yao's nose could still clearly smell the blood scent on the other party that hadn't fully dissipated; the waitstaff here were all prepared to serve those vampires' delicious desserts — as long as you could pay the price, any service could be provided.

Smiling, she thanked the waitstaff for their help, then Shen Yao buried her head and sent food into her mouth to chew.

Mm

Not to mention, this taste really wasn't bad, just like the noodles the bodyguards brought up last night — once in the mouth, it really gave a feeling of happiness.

Seeing Shen Yao eating with gusto, Weilan also casually pinched a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth.

Mm, a bit too greasy.

Vampires' tastes differ from ordinary people; they can't taste food's sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, but they can distinguish the flavors within blood.

For example, a lover's blood is very sweet and delicious, like a filling cake; an ordinary person's blood is just a bowl of plain rice, can stave off hunger but can't be called good or bad; slightly better, a young boy or girl's blood is like various cuisines served up, astringent with a hint of returning sweetness... Weilan never much liked drinking blood; when he got older he simply drank potions, unless his body couldn't hold out and needed blood to maintain nutrition, otherwise he avoided it if he could.

Shen Yao continued eating her meal obliviously; occasionally encountering a tasty dish she would recommend it to Weilan, figuring since this person had eaten pastry, he could eat some other food too.

Weilan:...

The surrounding bodyguards:...

The bodyguards wanted to speak but stopped, looking at the sky, looking at the ground, just not daring to look at the two masters, especially Young Master Weilan.

Hiss

Eating human food?

For vampires that's even harder to endure than chewing wax, yet Young Master Weilan not only swallowed it down, but even said with a smile that the taste wasn't bad.

It must be that the way they opened their eyes today was wrong, otherwise how could it be this strange? Is this still their Young Master Weilan who holds the power of life and death, whose word is law?

Of course it's Young Master Weilan, genuine through and through; it's just that love can make a person change, and also make a non-human creature become more human-like.

Weilan was unwilling for Shen Yao to suffer gossip while staying with him; he couldn't deny his origins, but he could let Shen Yao live more comfortably.

Raising his hand to touch Shen Yao's cheek, incidentally taking out a handkerchief to wipe away the food powder stuck at the corner of Shen Yao's mouth, seeing Shen Yao had eaten her fill, Weilan stood up, straightened his clothes, then led Shen Yao out of the hotel.

A group of people came in a grand procession, and left in a grand procession.

The other guests in the hotel all paid their respects with gazes, until they could no longer see Weilan and the others, then they let out a breath of relief, each patting their chest and muttering to themselves, this smiling King of Hell has finally left, otherwise they'd have had to avoid him in advance and hide from his edge.

"But that one is an ordinary human, right? Looking at her she's nothing special," just a bit of looks, but what vampires lack least are superior appearances and figures; why would that one be so foolish.

"Hush, what nonsense are you spouting? That one has left, doesn't mean she doesn't know what happened here, don't want your life?" How dare you say anything, and right in front of his face, trying to drag me into it?

"I, I didn't mean that, just couldn't help saying some idle gossip, absolutely no dissatisfaction with that noble lord," how would I dare? Ordinary people wanting to rise above can still do so through power, money, or war, but the vampire world has long had fixed classes; we can't stir up any waves in this lifetime; offend that noble lord? Death might be the easiest outcome.

"Best if so, anyway some words are better left rotting in the heart than spoken out."

"Yes yes yes, you're right, blame this mouth of mine, deserves a beating, deserves a beating."

"..."

The group who had already left the hotel and gotten in the car naturally didn't know the people inside were discussing them.

Oh

The System knew, but because the System is a chatterbox, Shen Yao just treated it as buzzing noise, not giving the other party a shred of feedback, causing the System to end up huffing angrily and not saying a word.

Just like that they rushed day and night toward Saint Tiana, until the outline of Songxue Town appeared in Shen Yao's field of vision, making Shen Yao — who had been leaning on Weilan's shoulder — suddenly come back to her senses.

We're back!

The scenery outside was so familiar, including that route she had walked many times; Shen Yao lay against the window in a great mood, gazing at the street scene and pedestrians outside.

Weilan picked up the clothes that had slipped off when Shen Yao struggled free and helped drape them back on her, "We've been delayed a long time this trip, we'll go straight back to Saint Tiana School.

When the holidays come, I'll accompany you properly for a good stroll around Songxue Town."

Hearing this, Shen Yao nodded her head softly with a mm-hmm, smiling broadly to show she wasn't in any particular rush; anyway, returning to Saint Tiana School was equivalent to returning home, this was Weilan's territory, with Weilan here, her safety no longer needed any worry.

The black car stopped at the dormitory entrance; Shen Yao once again entered this room she had been separated from for nearly a month; the furnishings inside were exactly the same as when she left, and even because of Weilan's thoughtfulness, people had been arranged in advance to clean, so Shen Yao didn't need to do anything now, she could just stay in the room and rest.

"Wow, Weilan is really thoughtful," as expected, as long as a man puts his heart into it, he can do so many things well.

Shen Yao simply washed up, then used the rarely-used kitchen to cook herself a simple bowl of noodles; the fragrant noodles carried wisps of white steam, which also melted and softened Shen Yao's brows and eyes.

Thump thump thump—

At this time someone knocked on the door; Shen Yao thought it was the neighbor next door, but the one who came was actually Phil, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

Huh?

What was the other person here to do?

Phil was still petite compared to before, but her arms now had some muscle definition.

She must have been exercising.

No!

Exercise alone couldn't produce such smooth muscles; there must have been other special training, and Shen Yao could keenly smell a faint scent of blood on Phil, which wasn't Phil's own, but someone else's.

Did Phil kill someone? It shouldn't be a person.

While her thoughts shifted, Shen Yao smiled and stepped aside to signal Phil to come in and sit.

Phil waved her hand, standing at the doorway looking very nervous and uneasy, "I came over because I saw your room light was on and thought you should be here."

"You haven't been at Saint Tiana School for a while; did something happen at home?"

Shen Yao:...

How should she put this? Nothing was wrong at home; it was herself who had the problem.

She nodded vaguely, "It's all in the past. I haven't been at Saint Tiana School for a while; have you been doing well?"

Phil smiled, "Pretty good. It's just that Senior Sister and the others aren't at school, so I'm always a bit lonely by myself."

"Oh, you probably don't know her. She's a very easygoing Senior Sister named Lisa."

Lisa?

Shen Yao looked at Phil, who suddenly mentioned Lisa's name, with a pair of very confused eyes, thinking to herself that this person had come to probe her.

Otherwise, why would she bring up Lisa out of the blue? She and Lisa had no connection whatsoever.

Phil had joined the Hunter Association? That explained the smell of blood on her body, after all, vampires and hunters were enemies, and mutual hatred and killing were only natural.

"It seems I don't know this person. Since Phil misses her so much, she must have a very good relationship with this Senior Sister Lisa."

Shen Yao asked back, pinning Phil in place.

Phil:...

How to put it? Her relationship with Lisa wasn't just bad, it was terrible. If Lisa weren't also a hunter, and if most of Phil's training at school hadn't been handled by Lisa, the two of them would never have had any connection.

Even so, Lisa still had a side that Phil admired and even respected.

Lisa had finally gone missing without a trace. Phil coming to find Shen Yao was just the result of a sudden flash of inspiration.

In fact, she didn't even know why she had come to probe Shen Yao, and was convinced that the other person had countless connections to Lisa's disappearance.

Sigh

Perhaps it was because she had been too nervous lately and thought too much.

Raising her hand to rub her brow, Phil skipped the topic and brought up other school matters, finally using the excuse that it was late to leave the dormitory first.

After Phil left, the System couldn't help but speak, implying in its words that the other person had ulterior motives, truly terrifying.

Shen Yao:...

'She's just not sure,' Shen Yao didn't take the bait, acting better than the other person. Phil was probably already wavering and doubting herself.

'Will Phil cause trouble for the Host? Even if she knows Lisa's death is related to the Host.'

After all, Lisa wanted to capture the Host to threaten Weilan, but the Host escaped and brought Weilan back to kill her instead.

'No, she's not a Stupid Person,' that bit of amateur skill couldn't deal with me at all. The more likely possibility is that she'll quietly keep her distance.

Phil was indeed doubting herself in her heart, but more than that was panic and unease.

She had been too impulsive. Even if she ran over and asked, what could come of it? If Lisa's disappearance really was related to Shen Yao, it would only prove how terrifying the person behind Shen Yao was.

She suddenly thought of the Shen Yao Lisa had mentioned. Could she really be her friend?

Why get involved with such a terrifying person?

"It's related to me, and you're disappointed?" None of your business!

Weilan looked at the girl trembling in the distance who had been unable to say a word for a long while, and coldly laughed for no reason.

Just like an annoying mosquito, constantly flying back and forth around him. He originally didn't want to dwell on this matter, but unfortunately, there were always some blind ones jumping out to cause trouble.

Why?

Could he really be that easy to talk to?

Phil:...

Just seeing Shen Yao once, and then she was directly grabbed by Weilan. Phil felt bitter in her heart, almost wanting to eat coptis.

She didn't know what her fate would be.

'Expulsion?' Not killing? When had Weilan become so good-tempered?

The System was puzzled. It was mainly that Weilan appeared gentle but hard to approach to outsiders. For someone like Phil who obviously harbored evil intentions, she definitely couldn't let the other person go.

As a result, it was beyond the System's expectations. She just sent the person far away. This completely didn't fit Weilan's character.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao shook her head helplessly, thinking that the System knew Weilan quite well. Besides, one's mind wasn't unchanging. Perhaps Weilan felt that killing alone couldn't stop the problem, so she might as well let the other person go. After all, the outside world was more dangerous than Saint Tiana. Could Phil really survive after leaving here?

Shen Yao doubted Phil's ability to survive. Moreover, the other person was currently a Vampire Hunter, and her own danger level had risen sharply.

'Let's not discuss this. Since she's already left, the matters of Saint Tiana have nothing to do with her.'

Originally, Shen Yao had thought to appropriately keep an eye on Phil's situation, to prevent her from suddenly attacking and causing unnecessary trouble for herself.

As it turned out, the person had been directly exiled by Weilan, so Shen Yao didn't need to worry about Phil anymore.

Shen Yao, free of psychological burden, happily hugged her books and ran to the classroom to listen to the teacher's lecture.

Although she hadn't come for a month, as long as she appeared, the teachers would still explain the textbook content in gentle voices.

Every day going to and from class, occasionally Weilan would appear in front of the dormitory building, and the two of them would stroll around the campus together, appreciating the surrounding scenery.

Time flew by, and Shen Yao welcomed another Saint Tiana holiday. Still not going home, her two cheap maternal cousins had already gone back long ago.

Shen Yao, to make it easier to get along with Weilan, simply moved her daily necessities to Weilan's dormitory. The place the other person lived had several empty rooms; adding one more person was no problem at all.

Weilan merely smiled without speaking, letting her choose freely; she had stayed here before, after all, and the only regular resident on this side was him — the rest were either bodyguards or servants — so having Shen Yao around would only improve his mood.

Weilan's dormitory also held many books; after Shen Yao moved in, she began studying hard alongside Weilan, except Weilan devoted all his Kung Fu to clan affairs, while Shen Yao expended her Jing Shen on trivial matters of no real importance.

"How can you call them unimportant? Learning is what enables one to understand more Knowledge."

Shen Yao corrected the System's verbal loophole, then raised her hand and turned the page she had been looking at for a long while.
