Main Character:

Shen Yao

Isn't that right?

Weilan's public persona has always been that of a quiet, elegant beautiful man, but their freshly cooked little steamed bun of a son turns out to have ADHD.

His name is Aolai Toweier; his looks are a mini version of Weilan — oh, it should be said he perfectly combines Shen Yao and Weilan's excellent genes, looking even more outstanding than Weilan.

Shen Yao: ……

Shen Yao raised her hand and lightly touched Weilan's cheek, "Family matters."

Because she had been accompanying him this whole time, the Toweier Family would accidentally run into trouble; Shen Yao, with the System — this all-day nagging ear-spirit — naturally understood the situation, therefore she asked back.

Weilan smiled, raised his hand to clasp Shen Yao's fingers, then lowered his head and kissed them, "Let them stir up trouble; my earlier cleanup is almost done, and now we just wait for the rest to be unable to hold back and show their heads."

There are still some who like to challenge Weilan's bottom line; in the past, Weilan certainly wouldn't have given these things any good face, but the current Weilan has already upgraded to become a father, and he does things more thoroughly.

She raised her beautiful eyebrows and eyes; Shen Yao smiled like a flower. Since Weilan had a plan in mind, she didn't need to keep reminding him of such things.

Besides, everyone has their own bottom line; some words, if said too much, even between husband and wife, inevitably cause discomfort.

The two's topic came to a pause; what followed was all sorts of boring yet fulfilling daily life.

Mm.

Watching little steamed bun Aolai develop at a growth speed different from ordinary infants, Shen Yao once suspected she might have given birth to a fairy.

That shouldn't be!

Isn't this a Western fantasy? How did an Eastern xianxia element get mixed in?

System: ……

The System was speechless and wiped sweat, indicating that vampire infants are this unscientific, especially the one Shen Yao gave birth to — its abilities are against-the-sky terrifyingly powerful, not at all like those ordinary vampire infants.

"Oh, could there be some hidden story inside?" Shen Yao asked back.

"Of course; its bloodline is overly pure, it counts as this Task World's Savior!"

The System shamelessly finished stating its view, then couldn't help but mutter again, "Host, the two of us might be able to leave early this time," because the born cub is overly fierce and overbearing — for them, that's a good thing!

Shen Yao: ……

Shen Yao didn't discover what good thing there was, but she felt the System's words inexplicably gave her a sensation of flags planted all over her body — that kind of illusion that a boomerang would probably return; after all, the System is truly skilled at stirring up trouble.

The System was truly wronged; it felt the Host always thought too badly of it, but then again, in the aspect of being a jinx, it is indeed a bit super-god.

System: ……

Tsk.

Shen Yao lowered her eyes, glanced at Aolai placed before her — already the length of an adult's entire arm — and couldn't help rubbing her forehead and sighing.

Alas.

Aolai blinked his pair of beautiful lake-green glasses, like a clear spring visible to the bottom; the washed jade-green was still overly authoritative.

"Little Aolai."

"Yi you yi you yi you."

Little Aolai revealed a cute expression, and incidentally turned his head, raised his hand, and tugged at his own clothes; he still cannot speak now, but if he continues growing this rapidly, presumably opening his mouth won't take long either.

Shen Yao bent her waist up from the bed, and simultaneously raised her hand to hug Aolai into her arms.

The fragrant, soft embrace, though cold, still made Aolai excited; he kept rooting around everywhere, like a newborn puppy sniffing and smelling all over; Shen Yao rejoiced that her current vampire body was overbearing, otherwise she would have been injured by her own good big son.

Mm.

Not a spiritual injury, but a physical-meaning injury!

In just one month, Aolai had already grown to the appearance of a three- or four-year-old, and could even speak properly, but Shen Yao was not surprised at all.

The reason was none other than Weilan had already explained the cause: because of his bloodline, Aolai became like this, and only upon adulthood would he stabilize.

"However, his mind cannot keep up with his appearance; this needs slow adjustment."

Similar to an eighteen-year-old appearance with a five-year-old IQ… Weilan also had no good method; after all, Aolai can already proficiently apply his vampire abilities — if you don't watch him, he disappears without a trace; if the entire castle weren't located in the Toweier Family's core area, Shen Yao would worry about Aolai getting lost.

"Mama."

Aolai lay in Shen Yao's arms and couldn't help acting spoiled; incidentally he raised his hand and grabbed Father Weilan's sleeve, indicating he circles the castle every day and is too bored — can he go out for a walk?

Weilan smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Just right; I need to go out a trip. Since Little Aolai is this bored, let's go together."

Aolai: …… Hm?

Shen Yao touched Aolai's head, "Letting him go — is it really okay?"

Not worried about Aolai having an accident, but worried that the mess Aolai stirs up would need Weilan to specially handle; originally Weilan going out was already trouble, adding this little trouble now, Shen Yao felt a bit of heartache for Weilan.

"It's fine; besides, Aolai needs tempering." Vampire children differ from ordinary children; moreover, Aolai was born carrying an ability that could destroy heaven and earth — if not properly restrained, what will they do when the two of them aren't by his side in the future? At least they cannot let Aolai get injured himself.

Shen Yao laughed lightly, then instructed Aolai to listen to Father when going out, not to stir up trouble at this time, "Otherwise there won't be a next time."

Aolai smiled happily and nodded, patted his own soft little chest, indicating he knew it all and definitely wouldn't give Father extra trouble.

Shen Yao: ……

Just one day later, Weilan carried Aolai, followed by a group of people, and left the Toweier Family.

When they left it was exactly dusk; Shen Yao stood at the doorway seeing them off; the System spoke at just the right moment, "Host, they are going to handle trouble."

Shen Yao indicated she knew, because that trouble they had run into before.

It's the monsters above the small town, specially hunting vampires and werewolves; by now they have slowly become impossible to ignore — at least they pose a huge threat to Weilan; striking while they can be solved, to avoid problems reappearing later.

"Weilan is bringing Aolai along," looks like he's very confident in his own ability.

You know, the Toweier Family still has quite a few undying old ones hoping for Weilan to have an accident.

The system stroked its nonexistent chin, saying it would definitely watch this liveliness, and that Shen Yao should stay well in the castle, with any news sent back.

"Oh, don't make such a fuss, disturbing me—I might consider entering the next task world's time."

Shen Yao said coldly, then turned back to her room without caring about the system.

Without Weilan and Aolai, this father and son, Shen Yao was still a bit unaccustomed, but there were too many matters in the Toweier Family, and as Mistress, Shen Yao had to show herself to manage them for Weilan.

Bit by bit, Shen Yao could only focus her thoughts on these matters, so that news of Weilan and his son outside would all be broadcast in real time by the system.

The system, after all

Was bound to exaggerate.

Either Weilan had nearly been injured facing a monster today, or Aolai had caused trouble by playing too heavily tomorrow, and at worst Weilan and Aolai, father and son, were both unlucky, causing Shen Yao to warn the system from time to time not to say things that left her speechless.

System:...

"Host, why don't you believe me?" Everything I say is heartfelt truth, may Heaven and Earth bear witness!

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao rolled her eyes without surprise, and said that if the system's voice never changed tone, she would still be more inclined to believe it.

"When are they coming back? If this goes on, those old fogies of the Toweier Family will jump out again to be an eyesore." It was like something hidden in the dark—no matter how many people there were, it could never be cleaned up completely.

Shen Yao shook her head somewhat irritably, then paced back and forth in the room until the system abruptly called out.

Huh?

"Host, it's a mess!"

What's a mess?

Shen Yao frowned, then summoned the steward waiting outside the door to have him investigate the latest news from within the Sins Empire.

"Madam, this..."

The steward hesitated a little—clearly he had just reported this morning, and now again in the evening?

"Obey my orders, and tell everyone not to act on their own."

Shen Yao was too lazy to explain so much; after giving her instructions, she waved her hand for the steward to handle it, while she turned to stand by the door, simultaneously communicating with the system in one mind and two uses: "The king of the Sins Empire has had an accident."

System: "Correct, he was assassinated, in front of all the Princes."

In a short instant, everyone was too slow to react; the person lay in a pool of blood without moving, the whole scene like a frozen image, and the assassin was not human, but a girl with werewolf ears.

Shen Yao:...
