Main Character:
Shen Yao
This wedding was held on a grand scale; the guests who could attend were all either rich or noble.
Shen Yao entered from the doorway and immediately saw Phil sitting at the very edge. This person hadn't changed much from before, still possessing a thin and weak physique, but those eyes no longer held the previous hesitation and cowardice. It was evident that years of tempering had helped her grow considerably.
"Host, she's a Senior Vampire Hunter. She hasn't rested much in all these years, killing every day. One could say she's practically been cured by it."
The system complained that Phil looked like a completely different person; it was clear the word 'killing' was indeed useful.
"The bloody smell on her can't be concealed at all. And yet, at this wedding venue, there are too many vampires, including many high-born vampire nobles. For Phil, this is like a sheep entering a tiger's den."
"Not afraid. Phil is openly the Hunter Association's public representative on the surface. If something happens to her, it's slapping the Hunter Association's face. This is different from the previous siege of Xize'er; that time the Hunter Association wasn't in the right. Right now, the Hunter Association absolutely cannot act like a soft steamed bun."
Shen Yao: ……
"What you say is correct, but with the Hunter Association's capability, they ultimately can't get on the big stage. If Phil really has an accident, it will most likely be swept under the rug."
The backing isn't hard enough.
System: ……
The system couldn't help but mutter, thinking: if that's truly the case, then why would the Hunter Association still arrange for Phil to attend the wedding? What scheme are they plotting? Could it be some conspiracy of borrowing a knife to kill someone?
"It wouldn't go that far, but presumably the vampires Phil killed are in a state of panic, unable to sleep peacefully. The Hunter Association bore too much pressure, so they thought to send Phil out as a target. Regardless of whether Phil dies or lives in the end, the Hunter Association can preserve itself."
Shen Yao's sweeping gaze quickly withdrew. She was more focused on the present; as for Phil, that was the Hunter Association's business.
The system only spoke again after a long while, truly not expecting the Hunter Association to still be so bottomless and spineless, actually pushing a great meritorious official out as a target. Wouldn't Phil's situation be very dangerous then?
It is extremely dangerous. Phil knew from the moment she received this news that this trip would very likely mean she wouldn't return, but she still didn't refuse.
The importance and status of a Senior Hunter in the Hunter Association goes without saying. Moreover, the Hunter Association was never a monolithic iron plate to begin with. In the end, someone leaked the news in advance, just hoping Phil would consider carefully, rather than simply thinking things over too simply.
But Phil has her own pursuit. Victoria is still in the Sins Empire.
Her cousin sister, once one of the most outstanding and promising hunters in the Hunter Association, later became entangled too deeply with a vampire noble. Not only was she expelled and hunted by the Dolun Family, she also caused dissatisfaction on both sides.
Phil still remembers the time she spent with Victoria to this day. This trip is both to settle grievances and to rescue a relative.
Her gaze, following the line of sight ahead, couldn't help but shift. Phil remembered Victoria was in the innermost part, and didn't know if the other party understood her meaning.
Whether she killed Xize'er or severely injured him, Victoria would be able to break free from the demon's claws.
Victoria in the distance: ……
Victoria didn't know her cheap cousin sister was racking her brains to save her from the fire, even if she herself was in a perilous situation, she still had to pull her out.
What Victoria was most worried about right now was that so many vampires would lose control and injure those vampire hunters from the Hunter Association.
Ancient memories surfaced in Victoria's mind. Large swathes of blood color occupied her entire heart. Victoria couldn't help but tremble, her eyes becoming panicked.
"Darling, what's wrong?"
Xize'er's arm had just rested on Victoria's shoulder when she violently shook it off.
"Don't touch me!"
Xize'er: ……?!!!
Xize'er's gaze turned dangerous and terrifying. Red hair strands floated slightly. With a smile that didn't reach his eyes, he said, "Victoria, what are you doing?"
Victoria: ……
Victoria abruptly snapped back to her senses, followed by a feeble shake of her head. "Sorry, I got lost in thought for a moment. I'll go to the side to calm down."
Standing up and leaving Xize'er's side, Victoria turned her back on the culprit, covering her chest and exhaling heavily. The experience just now was truly too harrowing.
She naturally also noticed the gazes directed at her from behind the scenes. But Xize'er is a crazy person, with no reason or emotion to speak of. Their years of interaction weren't useless; at least Victoria knew that with their true relationship, the ending would inevitably be a fight to the death.
Phil... how could this child come to the Toweier Family to attend the wedding? A piece of fat meat delivered to the door — who wouldn't want to take a bite?
No, I have to find a chance to stop Phil. Best to have her leave this place of right and wrong in advance.
Victoria's train of thought settled in just a moment. Only, currently she still has other things to do. Moreover, Xize'er is still behind her. She can only go find Phil after shaking him off.
Walking forward along the laid-out red carpet, Shen Yao soon saw her grandparents at the very front. The two of them could be said to have crossed a thousand mountains and ten thousand waters, and finally didn't miss their granddaughter's wedding.
Kain and Cui Si looked quite old. So many years of hard work and toil had left deep, indelible traces on them.
"Oh my god! It really is Yao Yao."
Cui Si covered her mouth, somewhat incredulous, but more filled with relief and satisfaction.
At least the granddaughter's future is visibly good, unlike the few kids at home — better not to mention them.
"She's always been doing well, whether in Saint Tiana or in the Sins Empire."
Even if she ultimately chose to return to the Faluo Kingdom, Kain believed Shen Yao could still live the life she wanted.
After all, this granddaughter of his has extremely strong purpose. While others still couldn't figure things out, Shen Yao already knew what she wanted.
Just like marrying now. Even after receiving the letter, the two elders couldn't help but doubt its authenticity all the way. That was the renowned Toweier Family, after all.
Not until the pure white wedding dress appeared before his eyes did Kain have to believe it was all real.
This person who left the Kain Family at age ten, studied in Saint Tiana all along, and until now married the Toweier Family heir — is his granddaughter.
"Good is good. God bless," Cui Si lowered her head and murmured a sentence, then pulled Kain forward a bit closer.
Shen Yao walked this path, seeing many people she knew or didn't know. Some had intersections with Shen Yao, some had only met twice, and more didn't know each other at all. Even the looks in those people's eyes carried scrutiny and assessment. Rather than simply attending the wedding to bless the newlyweds, they seemed more like they were seriously evaluating something.
Hiss—
"Why does it feel a bit like a transaction scene?" Unlike traditional transaction modes, the host herself is more like the goods.
Shen Yao: ……
Shen Yao felt the system really couldn't speak. She wasn't some goods; at most she was an item being haggled over by people. And the ultimate purpose of being haggled over was still more because of Weilan.
System: ……
Is there any difference between that and the goods it mentioned?
"The difference is that their main purpose is not transaction but investment, using me to tie down Weilan," after all, Weilan isn't someone just anyone can deal with, but those who came really do want to connect with Weilan or establish contact.
What to do?
Since Weilan's path won't work, just choose another route.
Don't look at how many clansmen the Toweier Family has, those on good terms with Weilan are few and far between, but Shen Yao, this wife personally welcomed by Weilan, is different; both have lived in Saint Tiana for a long time, and their feelings for each other only deepen, never fade.
If Weilan truly cares about this wife Shen Yao, then they will bring out more sincerity to curry favor and act obsequious; if Weilan marrying Shen Yao was just youthful impulse and ulterior motives, then their sincerity will appropriately decrease.
Whose gold, silver, and treasures aren't blown in by the wind? Accumulated capital wanting to be sent out must feel it's cost-effective before proceeding.
"System, there are so many people here, remember to usually watch more."
Noble weddings can't be completed in a day; during this period, the Toweier Family will continue this current situation of a sea of people.
Shen Yao accompanied Weilan in being busy all day; when she took off her wedding dress in the evening, red marks had already been rubbed on her lower back.
Hiss
Raising her hand to rub hard, Shen Yao took a bath, then comfortably lay on Chuang Shang to rest with eyes closed.
Weilan entered from Door, wearing that black Suit.
His slender body wrapped in the fabric, paired with perfect looks, unconsciously attracted the scattered gazes around him.
After hearing the noise, Shen Yao quickly opened her eyes; she was wearing the Pajamas she had just changed into, the soft gauze fitting her whole body, highlighting the girl's perfect curves.
"Why are you only back now?"
"There are some matters to handle."
Weilan raised his hand to rub his forehead, then casually pulled open the Collar at his Neck, and undid the buttons of his Suit and the Shirt inside.
His beautiful collarbone and Neck were clearly visible; Weilan raised his hand to rub them, his emerald Pupils blinking, his eyes full of fatigue.
Shen Yao couldn't help but raise her hand to cup Weilan's Cheek, looking left and right, finally kissing him.
Weilan reached out to pull Shen Yao into his arms, her soft golden hair falling on her Shoulder, his whole face buried in the side of her shoulder.
"Quite a few people today plan to take the opportunity to eliminate Enemies they have grudges with," just what the General Manager caught is not a few, among them are not lacking ruthless people who destroy corpses and erase traces.
"I knew it would be chaotic, but didn't expect it to be this chaotic; the vampire Nobles who came suggested purging a round, and it just so happens the Hunter Association's hunters are all here, using their hands to kill with a borrowed knife, both sides can explain it well."
Weilan speaks without restraint in front of Shen Yao, almost saying whatever he has to say, including those good ideas of the vampire Nobles.
Shen Yao hesitated, "It's no benefit to the reputation of the Toweier Family."
After all, the incident happened at a wedding; even if a reasonable explanation can be given in between, it's not ruled out that certain Forces won't believe it even more.
"It's precisely to make the reputation of the Toweier Family bad," being too good is a shackle, locking up his offensive, making him have to consider too many things that originally shouldn't exist.
Weilan raised his hand to lightly pat Shen Yao's back, patiently explaining the dilemma the Toweier Family currently faces, "It's just that those old fogeys can't see through, thinking they're all good things," little do they know these are nothing at all.
If that day really comes, as long as the Toweier Family's footing is unstable, whether making friends or forming enmity, they will all act against the Toweier Family together.
Weilan Droop Eyes, finally smiled, "Yao Yao, this world is just such a cruel Reality."
Just like this quiet night, thinking Outside is calm and peaceful, actually, they are all slaughtering one another, the blood smell in the air is rich enough to make me nauseous.
After Weilan finished speaking, he stood up and carried Shen Yao Princess-style back to the bed, then he took off his Suit with one hand, turned around and went to the Bathroom to clean himself.
Shen Yao turned her head to look at the Floor-to-ceiling Window not far away; the drawn curtains perfectly blocked the view Outside, but through the hazy Light Gauze, Shen Yao could still notice the dark shadows moving Outside.
Blood smell?
Looks like this night, the Toweier Family is very busy.
Indeed very busy; for Shen Yao and Weilan, tonight is the Wedding Night, but for other guests, tonight is exactly the hunting time.
Phil faced the vampires attacking her, coldly one strike one little friend.
No way, who made her stronger; so many years of extra training and escaping death weren't in vain, let alone these vampires are more like Cannon Fodder for testing; if even these can't be dealt with, Phil has no need to come to the Toweier Family to seek death.
"Hmph! How long can you be smug?"
"At least you won't see it."
One blade struck out, the vampire dying under the blade turned into a handful of Yellow Sand.
At this moment, many Yellow Sands had already appeared under Phil's feet, all transformed from dead vampires.
Such attacks continued until dawn; Phil shook her dizzy Brain, propped the Long Blade on the ground to maintain her body.
"Phil, you should leave."
Victoria appeared at this time, her face still bearing obvious injuries.
Phil raised her head, "Cousin, if we leave, let's leave together; you should know, staying here won't have a good result."
Victoria smiled bitterly, "I can't leave; besides, you can't take me away."
Xize'er is still too strong; Victoria and Phil joining forces are no match for him.
"How do you know it won't work without trying? Besides, Cousin's body can't hold on much longer."
As Phil's words landed, Victoria's Expression stiffened for a moment; although the change was very quick, it was still caught by Phil.
"Phil, remember my words, leave here, the sooner the better."
Victoria turned around and disappeared, just like a wind that came and went in a hurry.
It's a pity that Phil appreciated Victoria's kindness but couldn't agree, because she really couldn't leave; not only are there so many here unwilling to let her go, besides, the Hunter Association doesn't allow her to leave either.
When she chose to come here initially, Phil only had two paths: either fight her way back, or die here.
Phil slowly stood up propping the Long Blade, and by the way put the Long Blade back into its sheath.
Her half-long hair was blown up by a sudden Wind, at the same time taking away the blood smell on her body.
Mm
No matter what, after being busy all evening, she should go back to rest and sleep well; otherwise, how to deal with what comes next? She is an object of focused attention.
