Main Character:

Shen Yao

The second Shen Yao opened her eyes, she heard the system wailing in her mind.

Shen Yao: ……

How to put it? Not surprising at all, after all the system is just this kind of jumpy type, not only does it love making a fuss over nothing, it especially loves causing trouble when Shen Yao isn't fully conscious.

Feeling a bit of a headache.

Shen Yao raised her hand and pressed hard on her brow, then slowly sat up from the bed.

Weilan wasn't here, probably went to the study to handle matters; thinking there were still other missions waiting to be busy with today, Shen Yao was even less willing to chat idly with the system.

System: ……

The system originally thought the host would ask about the reason for its scream just now, but didn't expect the host to still be so calm, actually turning her head to do other things, completely leaving it ignored.

Ah?

How could 'Host' be like this.

The system had already changed clothes, servants waiting outside the door entered, holding formal wear for Shen Yao to choose from, and other wedding banquet matters.

'I'm very busy on my end, if you have no major business, just wait a bit more.'

'……But my matter is also very urgent.'

'How urgent?'

'Mhm, it's about Phil, she'

'She's still alive, just in a dangerous situation,' Shen Yao took over the system's unfinished words, continuing to explain in her mind, 'As long as she doesn't die, it's not a big deal. Besides, even if she really dies here, it has nothing to do with me; who told the Hunter Association to know full well.'

Blame Phil's own choice; people must take responsibility for their own decisions, right?

System: ……

The system was rendered speechless, had nothing to say, like it suddenly disappeared; Shen Yao's head could finally clear up a bit.

"Just these few pieces, and tell the steward to raise the banquet standard a bit; there may be quite a few guests who don't show up, advise him not to be surprised."

"Yes, Madam"

Shen Yao got up and went to the study, where Weilan was indeed burying his head handling affairs.

Seeing Shen Yao come over, Weilan raised an eyebrow, then spoke of how just last night alone, the number of guests he invited had decreased by one-fifth.

Shen Yao: ……

Although she had already made preparations, when the facts were truly laid out, Shen Yao still discovered she had prepared too little, while the actual situation was far too dire.

Pinching her chin and nodding, Shen Yao raised her hand and rested it on Weilan's shoulder, "Hard work"

Besides these two words, Shen Yao couldn't think of anything else to say to comfort Weilan.

Good grief, this is treating their wedding banquet as a hunting ground, right? All grudges and entanglements have to be settled here; luckily the Toweier Family has a big family and great business, ordinary people don't dare come provoke them, otherwise just this large batch of disappearances, who knows how many resources would have to be paid out.

Weilan raised his hand and patted Shen Yao's hand back, mentioning the banquet later still needed Shen Yao to help prop it up, "But also no need to give those people too much face.

If some people don't know how to speak properly, then let them fend for themselves."

Weilan smiled faintly, certain emotions surging in his emerald eyes, especially on that habitually gentle face, there was now a trace of coldness and ruthlessness.

It could be seen that last night's casualty count had fiercely stimulated Weilan.

Just how little do they care about him, this heir? Doing this on a day of great joy; looks like Xize'er's killing left and right before indeed had some use, at least it can deter those who don't know the height of heaven and depth of earth, letting them know that without the master's house permission, doing things too excessively will lead to seeking their own death.

"Go back to rest," Weilan said, standing up and putting an arm around Shen Yao's shoulder, personally sending her back.

Turning his head to call the elusive steward, Weilan's tone visibly turned icy, "Did you know it was those people who made a move last night?"

The steward nodded, "My Lord, these people have absolutely no scruples."

"Right, looks like we've been too easy to talk to, making them think the Toweier Family is nothing more than this," Weilan lowered his eyes to look at his own fingers, "Handle it, before today's banquet begins."

Since they're this insensible, let them go down and explain to the Toweier Family ancestors; Weilan has a shortcoming, that is he hates excuses.

No matter how beautifully words are said afterward, they cannot satisfy Weilan.

After all Weilan has always followed his heart's whim, it's just that the Toweier Family has always been binding him; this time taking the opportunity to break those bindings, saving trouble later if they do something else and still get nagged by those old geezers.

The steward only replied "yes" upon hearing this, then suddenly vanished with a whoosh.

Weilan returned to the study, opened a delivered funeral list, casually circled and scribbled a few strokes on it, then tossed it aside and no longer paid it any mind.

When Shen Yao, having changed into formal wear, arrived at the banquet hall, she discovered the guests here were moving somewhat stiffly.

It was clearly perceptible their panic and cowardly unease, but for various reasons they temporarily couldn't leave, and had to brace themselves to participate in the subsequent proceedings.

Shen Yao: ……

The air was filled with the perfume scent from the guests; Shen Yao unsurprisingly covered her nose, finally walking to the window side to relieve her somewhat uncomfortable body.

'System, how come there are many fewer people again?' This isn't one-fifth, clearly one-quarter; in just under an hour, more people died?

'Weilan personally instructed the steward to do it, Host, the piled-up sand outside has become a small mountain,' the system exaggeratedly indicated it was still their own people who were ruthless; last night it watched Phil kill one per strike and felt worthy of a Senior Hunter; now watching the steward's hand rise and knife fall felling a swath, hiss, no wonder the Hunter Association sent Phil over to let the vampires vent their anger, because with the Hunter Association's foundation, they fundamentally can't beat these innately gifted non-human creatures!

'Oh, no wonder he sent me back to the room; turns out he went to instruct this matter.'

That's understandable; Weilan hates most when things are done bypassing him; those people last night, if they had just shown a bit of restraint knowing this is Toweier Family territory, today they'd still be standing in the banquet hall amidst dazzling lights and fine wine.

"What a pity, they're too arrogant; compared to humans, they're more like wild beasts."

Phil tilted her head back and drank a mouthful of wine, turning her head to smile at Victoria who had come over.

Victoria: ……

Finally got a chance to come find Phil to talk, and the other party is actually planning to deadlock to the end.

"Cousin, go back, it'll be troublesome if it's late," Phil also didn't know Xize'er's virtue, and didn't want Victoria to be put in a difficult spot at this time; putting down the already emptied wine glass, Phil raised her head to scan a circle around, finally heading toward Shen Yao in the distance.

Victoria watched Phil leave just like that, until a pair of arms draped over her shoulders — it was Xize'er.

Victoria turned her head and shifted her body sideways, not understanding how this person could be in the mood to come find her; the subordinates she brought had died until only half remained, yet he could still laugh?

"Why not laugh? Dead is dead; those things can be mass-produced anytime."

"Darling, you've stayed by my side this long — aren't you the one who understands best?"

Xize'er felt no shame, rather pride; he wasn't of the Toweier Family, he stood on the human side, but regarding the mass production of vampires, Xize'er always did whatever he wanted, and he gave the Hunter Association no face either — in the end, didn't they still have to lower their heads to him?

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a face that looked like it was asking for a beating.

Xize'er lowered his eyes, meeting Victoria's gaze; in her eyes it looked utterly arrogant.

Victoria was truly convinced; she thought Xize'er always liked doing this sort of thing, just didn't know if this time he could escape the Hunter Association's encirclement and pursuit.

She looked back just as unyieldingly; the two handsome man and beautiful woman were truly very well-matched in looks — if one didn't know the inside story, one would think they were acting in some idol drama.

"Pfft, superficially harmonious but actually at odds? No wonder Phil wanted to contact Victoria."

"Host, stop laughing quick, Phil's coming over."

The system's reminder ended the second before Phil appeared before Shen Yao.

"Long time no see."

"Long time no see."

Counting the time, Shen Yao and Phil probably hadn't seen each other for four or five years.

The last time was still when Shen Yao returned to Saint Tiana, and Phil directly blocked her door to test her; Phil's matter was then discovered by Weilan, who subsequently expelled her without leaving any room.

"Congratulations on the new marriage."

Phil felt these four words she spoke were very sincere, because as her friend in Saint Tiana, Shen Yao had no conflict of interest with her.

It was just that before, Phil had been too blunt, pushing Lisa's matter onto Shen Yao's head; although later it was proven they indeed had a direct connection to Lisa's death, the chief culprit was still Lisa who brought it on herself.

She couldn't push everything onto Shen Yao just because Shen Yao married a vampire she disliked.

Perhaps it was because of these years of tempering, Phil was normal to the point of not seeming like a vampire hunter.

After all, constantly killing in various ways inevitably affects one's emotions; including Shen Yao had seen quite a few vampire hunters appearing around Weilan, those people's eyes were full of irrepressible killing intent — even if they didn't die at vampire hands, they would die at their own hands.

"I really didn't expect you to come this time."

She thought both sides would never meet again, yet after twists and turns they encountered each other here.

"Yeah, back in Saint Tiana, no one would have thought it would turn out like this later."

At least in Phil's view, at the start she only sought self-preservation.

"The Hunter Association, you really won't leave?" Shen Yao looked at Phil, finding the girl's stubbornness hard to understand, even if she and Victoria were blood relatives.

Phil shook her head, "I came here with a mission I must complete."

Not just for Victoria, but for those colleagues and seniors who died long ago; she came for revenge.

"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry," sorry for giving you so much trouble, sorry for disturbing your wedding.

Shen Yao smiled and shook her head, "No need for that; what this place lacks least are guests with the same purpose as you to take away," they all enjoy everything with peace of mind; Phil was originally just a victim.

"I'll go greet other guests, you feel free," Shen Yao didn't talk with Phil for too long; she had some matters she couldn't push aside, unlike Phil.

Phil smiled and nodded, turning around and parting ways with Shen Yao.

This was their first formal meeting at the wedding banquet, and also their last meeting.

By the time Shen Yao heard news of Phil again, it was news of her death.

Shen Yao: ……

Actually this wasn't unexpected; after all, Phil's original situation was dangerous, and this time she came to an even more dangerous place — ultimately unable to escape vampire revenge, it seemed reasonable enough.

"Xize'er is dead."

Weilan said a bombshell with a calm complexion, and indicated it was Victoria who acted to kill Xize'er; she smoothly left the Sins Empire, her whereabouts unknown.

"Victoria's physical condition — she has become a new vampire, inheriting part of Xize'er's abilities."

Weilan crossed both hands on his chest, gaze looking toward the window not far away.

"System, main character dead, novel collapse?"

"……No, it will just switch main characters."

Shen Yao continued questioning the system, "Main character, won't become us, right?"

System: ……

The system didn't dare speak; no matter how Shen Yao pressed, it just kept its mouth shut.

Shen Yao: ……

Fine, already don't need to know to imagine the worst case; truly convinced!

Seeing Shen Yao's emotions weren't right, Weilan thought it was due to Phil and Victoria's matters; he hurried to soothe Shen Yao not to think too much — Phil's death was anticipated; Victoria becoming a vampire this time was advantageous and harmless to her.

"Only recently things will be a bit difficult, having to evade vampire pursuit," but Xize'er's abilities were strong; Victoria inheriting part of Xize'er's abilities, dealing with some ordinary vampires was simply a piece of cake.

Moreover Victoria was once a hunter; no one knew how many vampire-restraining weapons she had in her hands; she was very safe.

"Sigh, who knew they'd make such a fuss," Shen Yao raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, following the force of Weilan's hand supporting her arm, she directly leaned into Weilan's embrace.

Weilan subconsciously patted Shen Yao's hand back, thinking this situation was something no one had anticipated.

Weilan knew Xize'er would die, but didn't expect Xize'er would die at the hands of Victoria and Phil, these two people; perhaps this was the disaster brought by arrogance — Xize'er always looked down on everyone around him, even Victoria who bore a grudge he didn't guard against much; dying was deserved.

Not mentioning these mood-killing things for now; after the wedding ended, Weilan put down the matters in hand, bringing Shen Yao to the bottom of the castle to conduct the vampire transformation ritual.

Originally Weilan didn't want to be this rushed, but Shen Yao's body was already pregnant; considering that giving birth to a vampire with an ordinary human body would be extremely draining on the physique, Weilan advanced the transformation time, and he also had to personally participate throughout, guaranteeing Shen Yao's absolute safety.

Shen Yao actually didn't want Weilan to be this busy; besides, the transformation ritual wasn't actually difficult — the main issue was the things needed for the ritual.

Weilan originated from the Toweier Family, currently still the Toweier Family's decision-maker; what he could take out, including blood, was the purest — a transformation failure and other fatal problems were fundamentally impossible.

Lying on the bed, just like having slept a nap, the person returned to a comfortable warm environment and was unwilling to get up.

Shen Yao also didn't know how long she lay like this; she only knew this situation was very comfortable, until Weilan's call came from beside her ear, letting her wake up.

Slowly opening her eyes, she looked to her side; Shen Yao subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to speak, who knows her throat was hoarse to the point of fundamentally not like her, including raising her hand to touch Weilan's cheek, icy cold.

Oh, only now did she think of it, she right now is also a pure Vampire.
