Main Character:
Shen Yao
"Werewolf girl?"
"Not necessarily related to werewolves, but the surface features are indeed so."
After the system finished speaking, it mentioned the recent peculiarities of the werewolf group.
Mm
Saying "peculiar" isn't entirely accurate either; in short, this group has shown some activity, completely unlike their previous behavior style, otherwise they couldn't have stirred up the Sins Empire incident.
Shen Yao raised an eyebrow, feeling the system truly couldn't grasp the key points; knowing about the werewolf problem, why didn't it tell her in advance? At least she could have had some psychological preparation, to prevent unforeseen major losses if they were unprepared.
System: ……
"Host, don't wrong the system," the system began to whine there, indicating it had only just noticed too; who knew the Sins Empire's Prince would have such heavy tastes, liking vampires could be said to be bewitched by beauty, but liking a girl with werewolf features... that's a bit strange.
You know werewolf features are obvious, some even carry animal features; placed in human society they're a problem discoverable at a glance.
At least some humans cannot accept it.
Ever since vampires openly withdrew from human society, humans have been extremely averse to such non-human creatures; even if humans themselves can't beat them, it doesn't hinder their dislike.
The Sins Empire's history is highly bound to vampires, and werewolves have a life-and-death relationship with vampires; the Sins Empire's attitude toward werewolves is definitely much worse than toward vampires. Under such a premise environment, a girl retaining werewolf features not only stirs up wind and rain in the Sins Empire, but even manages to cause internal problems in the Sins Empire; tsk tsk tsk... too fantastical, no clue at all.
"This werewolf girl has a problem, is she the female lead of some book?" Or rather, due to plot reasons, a special figure forced to be upgraded into a female lead.
Shen Yao gave her own speculation, only to receive the system's denial.
"Impossible; if she really were the female lead or an important figure, I would definitely have gained something here," but the system knew nothing.
This world's World Consciousness hasn't fallen out with the system; the system couldn't possibly fail to perceive even this much awareness; therefore it can only mean this werewolf girl isn't some important character, merely that her abilities happened to stir up the Sins Empire.
Shen Yao: ……
"Don't you think, putting it that way, this girl is even more dangerous," or rather the werewolf group is far harder to deal with than imagined.
Shen Yao suddenly thought of Weilan and his son still outside; she didn't know when they'd return, but given the current situation, Weilan needs to hold down the fort at the Toweier Family as a backing. Although Shen Yao is confident she can stabilize things, in a head-on clash she's still no match for Weilan.
System: ……
The system was rendered speechless by the host's words, because it didn't know how to respond; or perhaps this werewolf girl truly is extraordinarily gifted, and what other people or non-human creatures couldn't do, she actually achieved by relying on herself?!
Shen Yao felt the system was overreacting; the werewolf girl having this ability still needs others to buy in, otherwise how could the Sins Empire fall into chaos.
No longer speaking with the system, Shen Yao summoned the butler waiting at the Door, and once again inquired about Weilan and his son who hadn't returned.
Butler: ……
"Madam, shall I send someone to look?" The butler bowed slightly, treating Shen Yao with great respect.
"No need, let's wait a bit first," Shen Yao waved her hand, while instructing the butler to pay close attention to the Sins Empire's situation, especially the internal turmoil that just occurred; the simplest is the Heir issue. If any trouble arises during this period, it might well affect the Toweier Family.
"Better believe it exists than believe it doesn't." Shen Yao glanced at the butler, while admonishing him to keep a tight watch on those in the Toweier Family who like to stir up trouble; if they really accidentally fall into trouble, hmm, then she'll have reason to ignore them.
Anyway vampires don't have much Family Affection to speak of; it hasn't been long since Weilan dealt with his Qin Zi; Shen Yao minds even less helping the Toweier Family eliminate Unstable factors.
The butler nodded in agreement, then disappeared without a trace.
The system started its "aiya aiya" Exchange again, this time about Weilan and his son.
Because Weilan and Aolai are still outside handling matters and don't yet know everything that happened in the Sins Empire, the system can only speak of the two's Safety.
Overall, no one dares actively provoke them, while opponents Weilan and his son actively provoked have already been beaten Jiu Jiu Ba Ba; unexpectedly, the two will Depart in about a week.
"Host, they are vampires after all; whether physical body or capability, both are outstanding," the system lamented that humans compared to them are simply too Fragile; at least there's zero Probability of winning.
"Everything is Heaven's Will," werewolves and vampires are strong but few in number; humans are too Weak but numerous; a subtle Balance was reached between the two sides. The reason things are chaotic now is precisely because this subtle Balance was broken; humans became the Lowest Class Force. Whether werewolves or vampires gain the upper hand, humans are the most miserable side.
Tsk
Thinking like this, one feels somewhat fortunate to have chosen Weilan as a Backing; even her family can obtain a not-insignificant shelter.
(Premise: vampires don't fall, Weilan has no accidents; otherwise they'll only die faster)
…………
Outside
Weilan had just finished handling matters at hand when he saw someone come to report: Aolai was gone.
Weilan: ……
How to put it? This child is truly full of energy; outside, aside from being a bit Afraid at the start, all other time is just play play play.
Causing trouble there certainly is, but due to his own capabilities and Weilan's abilities, Aolai's mishaps are all within a certain range; no need to worry at all about this kid kicking the bucket.
"Where did he go this time?"
"Reporting to Family Head, Young Master Aolai went to the Xiao's Nest."
The Subordinate spoke with a face full of bitterness; they wanted to stop Young Master Aolai, but couldn't because Aolai's capability is strong — a flash of movement and he blocked everyone outside.
They rushed back to report to the Family Head because they were worried they couldn't handle it and might affect Young Master Aolai's Safety; after all, although Xiao creatures are dead, who can guarantee there aren't other messy things in the Nest.
Moreover, this creature's favorite food is vampires and werewolves; it's just that currently werewolves aren't there, only this group of vampires can serve as Material.
Weilan waved his hand, asking how the Toweier Family was doing: "Has any news been sent over?"
The Subordinate shook his head, indicating no news for now, but Letters should arrive before long.
Normal communication Frequency unexpectedly won't be interrupted; this is also their Main contact method.
Weilan had the Subordinate pay more attention; don't know if it's some telepathy, but Weilan feels the Sins Empire might have something happen this time. After all, when he brought his son out, the Kingdom side already had a Sword-Drawn Bow-Bent atmosphere; certain people might not hold back and act directly. Hmm, if they catch the Toweier Family off guard and bring trouble, it would affect Weilan's layout.
"Yes, Family Head"
"Let's go, go see Aolai"
Weilan shook his hand, and following for just a moment, he appeared at the Xiao's Nest.
Aolai was running back and forth inside the nest, and because of his outstanding capability, Aolai did not fear those dangers at all; one must know that an Owl's nest is not safe.
Weilan called out to Aolai.
"Father"
Aolai turned his head, a pair of beautiful emerald-green eyes blinking, "Has Father come to find Aolai?"
The person had already appeared in Weilan's arms, chubby arms hanging around Weilan's neck, speaking in a milky, childish voice, even more articulate than when he came out of the Toweier Family.
"Running around recklessly"
Weilan raised a hand and tapped Aolai's head, then pulled the child closer into his embrace; before Aolai could speak, Weilan had already left his original position, and a roar carrying a furious tone crashed into the ears of both father and son.
Aolai frowned, the tiny figure completely devoid of any fear, merely feeling that this unseeing enemy was excessively noisy.
Weilan helplessly told Aolai not to speak; he wasn't even as tall as the enemy's calf, yet his heart already held a posture of looking down on the opponent, this was not very good.
Aolai: ……
For enemies who were not his match, Aolai indicated that his regard for them was fatal, and he didn't even think about it — this enemy who had not yet fully grown, where was he qualified to make Aolai vigilant?
Mhm
Just this confident and arrogant; even though Aolai's current age was merely a smidgen, overly excellent strength was the foundation of Aolai's audacity.
Weilan raised a hand and stroked Aolai's head, then tossed Aolai backward with a raised hand; following that, he alone charged forward, and in just a moment directly pinned to death the enemy that had made the sound.
Mhm
It was an Owl that had not yet grown up, capability not much, but possessing very great potential.
After Weilan finished handling it, subordinates came forward to clean up the mess that had not yet been completely cleaned.
Aolai bounced and ran to and fro, unknown from where he took out several beautiful hearts.
"Don't eat randomly"
These were all Owl loot; placed in the nest perhaps to show off, perhaps for future consumption, but obviously, they all died in Weilan's hands in the end, so these things could only fall into Weilan's pocket.
After all, vampires — daily food is human blood; something like hearts is also not inedible.
Aolai nodded, indicating he was not a child, how could he not know importance and eat randomly?
But these several hearts are so strange, no relation to vampires, nor are they werewolf hearts; as for human hearts… one look and there is no connection.
"They are the hearts of immature Owls"
Weilan reminded Aolai, indicating that Owls, this kind of creature, like to kill each other.
Even because their own kind strike more ruthlessly, leading to them fundamentally not having many that can survive, and those able to grow up are mostly first-rate in capability; just like Weilan this time coming over, if it weren't for growing too fast and threatening himself, Weilan would not have exhausted his mind to make this trip.
Aolai let out an "oh" and nodded, then put away these several hearts that were still thump-thump jumping, hee hee hee hee hee, he wanted to take them back to show Mother, that he was also very formidable.
The topic came to a close; Weilan waved a hand, letting subordinates clean up the nest and withdraw; in the following days, they still needed to sweep the surrounding dangers; since they had come out for a trip, it was even more impossible to stop halfway.
…………
On the other side, Shen Yao was still at the Toweier Family handling Sins Empire matters.
The Sins Empire fell into chaos; the first place problems appeared was the King City.
Because some people need to rise to power and stabilize their position, therefore facing some original enemies they absolutely cannot choose to hold back.
The most direct: those several Princes fighting to the death, two have already died cleanly, the remaining several are all injured.
Of course, the New King who successfully came out on top currently isn't faring too well either; only he is currently the victor, with natural allies actively helping, occupying the upper hand.
'This is occupying the upper hand? Isn't it just relying on external forces to gain a foothold?'
Moreover, cooperating with werewolves is still not as reliable as vampires; at least the Toweier Family detests werewolves to the bone; this King of Sins Empire is somewhat unwise.
Shen Yao's mockery landing in the System's ears was blatantly sarcastic, but the System could also understand, because Sins Empire this counts as betrayal, betraying the vampires' years of help and support, mixing with werewolves, is by no means a smooth road to heaven.
'Host, this New King was originally picking up a bargain, originally it wasn't his turn,' who let the werewolf girl's capability be strong, directly ruining the original Heir; at least in the System's view Sins Empire has bad luck, it should just perish.
'Matters have come to this, regardless of Sins Empire's future fate, right now we cannot let the Toweier Family stay out of it.'
At least they need to act, make clear their own thoughts and demands.
And on the other side, Weilan, who had already received the letter, also knew of Sins Empire's chaos.
Didn't expect it to be internal power struggle? But werewolves inserting themselves horizontally, want to compete with vampires for superiority? Currently with werewolf capability it seems still not certain they can steadily occupy the upper hand.
Turning his head, he burned the letter in his hand to ashes, Weilan called over subordinates not far away, asking them about current mission completion progress.
"Seize the time, we must return as soon as possible."
"Yes, Family Head"
Aolai had grown another circle, capability also a degree stronger than before.
According to Weilan's estimation, it wouldn't be long before Aolai could rely on his own ability to surpass this father of his, become the leader of a generation of vampires.
Perhaps in this chaotic world, Aolai being able to have the strength to protect himself is also a rare fortune.
At this time Aolai still did not know his birth father's thoughts; he was still playing happily.
After all, no matter how much Aolai grows, currently he is only a child, IQ not fully grown; even if height reaches 1.8 meters, it cannot change the situation of being easily fooled.
Weilan seized the time to complete his own mission, conveniently actively disciplining and guiding Aolai in the process, conveniently reminding Aolai about the outside situation.
Of course, Aolai does not understand these things that sound profound but are actually very profound, but he is obedient; no matter what Weilan says he puts it in his heart; even if he doesn't understand now, when he grows enough later, he will also understand today's situation.
Just like this, after some more days passed, Weilan and Aolai successfully returned to the Toweier Family.
