Main Character:
Shen Yao
Saving Victoria is Xize'er's business, and has nothing to do with Shen Yao or Weilan.
Once the situation at the banquet stabilized, Weilan was the first to speak up and propose taking their leave.
After all, staying longer offered no spectacle to watch; better to return early. Both sides have traitors clustered together, so any movement on Xize'er's end, he would know clearly.
Shen Yao lifted her head, leaned close to Weilan's ear, and whispered that many people in the banquet hall had taken advantage of the chaos to disappear, "Don't know if they went back or met with misfortune."
Judging by the smell of blood in the air, the possibility of misfortune was high.
There were many vampires at the banquet; these non-human creatures all have sharp ears and keen eyes. Shen Yao spoke softly, keeping her voice down as much as possible, but ultimately couldn't block out those who wanted to listen.
Weilan raised a hand and lightly patted Shen Yao's back to soothe her, saying carelessly, "Most likely they left on their own; everyone is an adult," the implication being they can answer for their own actions.
Even if they really died at the banquet, didn't they know this possibility existed before attending? It's just that greed occupied the upper hand; they harbored that self-deceiving thought, always feeling this sort of thing wouldn't fall on them.
As Weilan's words fell, the entire banquet hall suddenly fell quiet.
Shen Yao: ……?
She indeed wanted to pierce the surface peace Xize'er maintained, but hadn't expected Weilan to cooperate so well. That speech just now was like a slap to the faces of everyone present; even with skin as thick as city walls, they'd feel some discomfort.
"Let's not speak of this. The commotion just now was too great; the host family has to handle the aftermath," Weilan smiled, looking at Xize'er who hadn't left yet, "Since that's the case, we'll head back first."
Xize'er: ……
"Farewell"
"Farewell"
Truly never wanting to see Weilan's face again, Xize'er cursed inwardly, but in the end still had to wave a hand and let subordinates handle the follow-up.
As for Victoria's side, Xize'er expressed he wasn't that anxious for now. The other party grabbed Victoria definitely to threaten him; as long as their goal isn't achieved, Victoria won't come to harm.
It's just that during this period, Victoria will more or less suffer some hardship.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the Female Lead's treatment, ah," hard to bear!
The System isn't mocking; it just finds the story's direction incomprehensible. It seems in every task world, as long as the Main Cast appear, there will be deviations of varying degrees. Maybe the previous world was more normal? But that's because the Main Cast had no conflict of interest with the Host.
Perhaps this Host of ours is that variable, influencing the future trajectory of the Male and Female Leads in the novel.
"Rest assured, Victoria has many schemes; she and Xize'er have grievances and entanglements," she won't easily follow in the footsteps of another novel's Female Lead's death.
The System didn't continue speaking, instead scurrying off to watch the excitement.
Victoria was taken away, and Xize'er currently hasn't chosen to rescue her, so Victoria's situation won't be too good.
The System saw Victoria locked in a pitch-black room; besides a sealed door, there wasn't even a single ventilating window.
Victoria lay on the ground with a pained face, her body forced to curl into a ball, making the System sympathize with this novel Female Lead.
Shen Yao knew nothing of the System's abundant emotions; she and Weilan were already seated in the car returning to Saint Tiana, the ancient castle receding behind them.
Weilan lowered her head to tidy Shen Yao's clothes; when Shen Yao was frightened earlier, Weilan had draped his own coat over her.
Weilan's coat was truly too large; Shen Yao, a tiny thing, was completely swallowed up inside it.
With no choice, Weilan lowered his head to help roll the cuffs, tidy the collar and shoulders, and finally pulled the fabric that draped to the floor as she sat down over her body, covering the exposed skin of her lower half.
"Weilan, who won and who lost this time?" Shen Yao blinked.
"Xize'er's mouth corners are practically splitting to his ears; clearly he gained quite an advantage."
When it comes to disparaging and stepping on others, Weilan never lets his old rival Xize'er off. This banquet was a trap Xize'er spearheaded, yet fools just love walking into it.
Thought catching one of Xize'er's women would let them threaten him into handing over everything? Naive!
"That Miss Dolun, I fear, will be on the surface harmonious but at odds in heart with Xize'er."
Pitted like this into enemy hands as a hostage, Victoria only has the option to survive; when the time comes, her contradictions with Xize'er won't be resolved, so just how far will the falling out go?
"Miss Dolun tonight clearly wanted to ally with us in private; pity" the words weren't finished before being interrupted by the sudden accident upstairs at the banquet, cutting off the subsequent process; in the end, she didn't even return.
Sigh
Could this be the downside of the halo above one's head? Others can be worthless passerby cannon fodder, but the Main Character attracts everyone's attention — in the aspect of drawing hatred, simply unmatched by others.
"Since she didn't say it outright, we can't take the initiative to help privately either. But Xize'er's situation is complex; if Miss Dolun is willing to exchange intelligence," Weilan's words weren't finished, but Shen Yao could already fill in the remaining half, "we can also help her with some small favors."
Don't underestimate these promises Weilan offers; even small favors are timely aid to Victoria, absolutely not a loss for her.
"We'll still wait for Miss Dolun to return first," believing that after this battle, Victoria will fully realize the importance of connections and ability; then both sides coordinating from inside and out, not to mention crippling Xize'er, they can at least make him suffer a loss.
Shen Yao leaned back against the car's soft cushion, puffed her cheeks to indicate who knows when Victoria will come out; if Victoria goes soft-hearted again then, all schemes and plots would be fully exposed before being revealed around Xize'er, wouldn't they have busied themselves in vain?
"Words are so, but Miss Dolun clearly isn't someone with an unclear mind."
Shen Yao still trusts Victoria quite a bit; in this type of novel, the Female Lead more or less has some issues, and moreover Victoria originally didn't want to stay by Xize'er's side.
It's just that at that time, by a twist of fate, plus internal chaos in the Dolun Family, she had no choice but to seek refuge with Xize'er to preserve herself.
But Xize'er this dog thing, even among a crowd of old-school novel Male Leads, is the transparently scummy type.
Couldn't help shaking her head; Shen Yao hadn't continued when she heard Weilan seize the pretext to analyze Xize'er's situation. Mhm, overall it's quite objective; thunder has long been buried, just hasn't reached the moment to explode.
Shen Yao: ……
So Xize'er is this miserable? Yet he still dares continue doing as he pleases; tsk, worthy of vampire noble birth? Truly bold.
By the time the car returned to Saint Tiana School, it was already late. Weilan first sent Shen Yao back to the dormitory, then departed by car himself.
The System muttered in Shen Yao's head that Weilan didn't return to his residence, but left Saint Tiana with that group of bodyguards.
"Oh, he definitely wants to take advantage while Xize'er and that person fight, see if he can pick up some bargains," after all, this is a heaven-sent opportunity.
Shen Yao changed clothes and washed up, not forgetting to bewitch the System not to idle; follow along and not only can you watch the excitement, you can get first-hand intelligence, "I'm an ordinary person, inconvenient to participate, but you're different; no matter what, they won't detect you."
System: ……
"Really? Then it really wants to go taste the saltiness."
This system AI is indeed a semi-finished product out of the factory; it is more agreeable than generally strict-rule systems, but likewise, it has its own personality, and at the same time, not many rewards can be taken out for transaction — commonly called advantages and disadvantages both exist, all depends on how the Host thinks.
The previous few Hosts obviously clashed more and more with the system, and in the end chose to dissipate and leave; as for Shen Yao, looking at her she already has this tendency, but because of her own intentional control, it has not yet been discovered by the system.
Sigh
Shen Yao even feels a bit sorry for the system, how come the Hosts it finds are all like this.
Drooping her eyes to look at her fair and tender palm, Shen Yao suddenly looked out the window; for a moment, she felt as if she were fiercely surrounded by endless loneliness and desolation, that kind of worry with no one to confide in was like a knife, cutting out a bloody reality.
Perhaps she really should consider whether these task worlds that seem fresh yet constantly repeat back and forth really need a Tasker like her.
"Host, what are you thinking? Why aren't you speaking?"
Waking up early in the morning, before Shen Yao's brain could even react, the system that had been holding it in for a while couldn't help but babble on.
"Wow, really can pick up a bargain; not only pick up a bargain, Xize'er was even stabbed with a knife by the female lead, hahaha, directly inserted into a position near the heart, almost lost his life!"
The system laughed especially loudly, provoking Shen Yao to frown tightly, wanting to lose her temper.
Shen Yao: ……
Sure enough, the system really is a child that never grows up; once it loses this reliable Host of its own, it is very easily led astray by other Taskers.
The thought that had briefly existed in her mind the previous night was completely erased by Shen Yao.
"Looks like your harvest this time is not small, what about Weilan?" Got up, washed up, put on clothes.
"Came back, currently planning whether to take the opportunity to dispose of Xize'er or leave the other party a life to continue using."
The system suggests disposing of Xize'er is best; this person was backstabbed and stabbed by the female lead, who knows if he will turn dark, then implicate the Host, not worth the loss.
The system in a certain sense really worries about the Host having problems; after all, right now it can be this active, all because the Host doesn't need to worry.
Switch to another kind of Host who can't do anything right, needs the system to provide support every single moment, the system feels a mental breakdown just bringing them in.
Once you've eaten fine bran, you don't want to eat coarse grain anymore.
"Xize'er is not that easy to dispose of; Weilan is unwilling to clash with vampire nobles, Xize'er happens to be a chess piece that can be taken and used."
Why speak like this? As someone who has lived together with Weilan for several years, Shen Yao can be said to understand Weilan seven-seven-eight-eight.
Weilan has always been rather afraid of trouble; vampire world nobles are much more troublesome than human world ordinary nobles, the Toweier Family is an example; Weilan has to personally handle a batch of worms every year to prevent them from taking root too deep and affecting the Toweier Family.
Imagine, once Xize'er is gone, Weilan's workload will become several times the original; would Weilan be willing to make such a sacrifice?
That is of course impossible.
Weilan only needs to think once about the two situations of Xize'er being there and not being there, and immediately dispelled the thought in her heart of sending Xize'er to meet God.
"Yao Yao, Xize'er still cannot die, at least these recent years, we all need him."
Weilan raised a hand to touch Shen Yao's cheek, the voice like a whisper between lovers, but in fact the two people fundamentally were not flirting at all, what they spoke of was all serious business.
"After this battle, Xize'er will probably be silent for a period of time, right."
Not to mention the injury, even the most important part of his force was struck down by the opponent; even if Xize'er wants to regain face, he still needs to come back with a plan before acting.
Tsk
Have to say, suffering a loss teaches a lesson; see, even the reckless man Xize'er has to use his brain now, showing that battle of wits is still a very important link.
Xize'er's side sounded the retreat, temporarily exited the stage; next to appear is Weilan, his and Shen Yao's marriage is imminent.
With Shen Yao graduating smoothly from Saint Tiana, Weilan brought Shen Yao along back to the Sins Empire.
Invitations have already been sent down, date set for next spring.
Simply not a few months of preparation time left, the two people also had no heart for sightseeing, only wanted to return to the Toweier Family early, handle the marriage well then talk about other things.
"Absurd!"
"Weilan, truly rebellious!"
"……"
At this time the Toweier Family was in an uproar because of Weilan's marriage.
Overall, it is just that they are all dissatisfied with this bride Weilan is marrying.
An ordinary noble young lady, moreover orphaned of both father and mother, family has no one to support (Kain Family ignored), what use is such a person?!
"Is Weilan deliberately opposing us?" Just like during the previous power seizure, Weilan's methods were ruthless, not giving them any face.
Right now also wants to take the opportunity to make them submit, hand over all authority of the Toweier Family, to be led by Weilan alone as the system vampire noble family leader.
"Cannot, he is not this kind of person," Weilan's biological father with a face full of indignation; compared to Weilan's gentle persona outside, this person appears arrogant and mean, especially this person's looks are about five parts similar to Weilan, in feelings even more indiscriminate, early on fell out with this son Weilan.
Previously Weilan was not in the Sins Empire, or rather the time returning each year was not much, both sides could still avoid contact to prevent bad things from happening.
Right now Weilan directly returned to the Sins Empire, the Toweier Family heir is Weilan, a settled fact that fundamentally cannot be changed.
So Weilan's impulsive willfulness is stabbing a knife in their hearts; ask, today's Weilan dares to marry an ordinary orphan girl with nothing, then tomorrow's Weilan would he also dare to move to kill his own kin?
Vampires fundamentally do not have much marital affection, more are still self-serving selfish nature; Weilan's father is a typical vampire noble, only his ability is too useless, given up by the family too early, besides bearing a name of not much use, he has nothing.
Right now it is also Weilan's father taking the lead to jump out and unite these undead family elders, attempting to try to resist the returned Weilan.
