Protagonist:

Shen Yao

"These are the latest developments in the Kingdom; they're not looking good."

After speaking, Shen Yao didn't forget to tell Weilan the news she had obtained.

Having made some mental preparations, Weilan didn't think the Sins Empire could do much, but this werewolf girl... could there be some situation they don't know about?

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence," Shen Yao raised her hand and patted Weilan's shoulder, while Aolai beside her was already nestled in her mother's arms acting spoiled.

In the month or so since they went out, Aolai had already grown quite a bit; if it weren't for his speech still leaning toward childish logic, who could tell that the now-young Aolai had a problem?

"Too many coincidences, and it's no longer a coincidence," Weilan sat in front of Shen Yao, raising his hand to touch his chin, feeling that some things really shouldn't be concluded too early, "The Sins Empire this time will very likely cause chaos in the national policies of several surrounding countries," commonly known as the butterfly effect.

"What should we do next?" Shen Yao felt their biggest problem was not knowing how to interfere with the Sins Empire's political power.

It wasn't that they couldn't defeat the Sins Empire; after all, they were just ordinary humans, and with vampire abilities, they could easily handle them.

Shen Yao's implication was actually that within the Sins Empire, a change in political power would affect overall social stability; this power grab was not the Great Dao, and even involved plots and schemes, with the Toweier Family participating, likely dragging themselves into it.

According to Weilan and Shen Yao's views, neither of them absolutely had to get involved with the Sins Empire; once they couldn't extricate themselves from the Sins Empire, everything the Sins Empire encountered would affect the Toweier Family, leading to both of them being bound hand and foot and continuing to suffer losses.

Who likes to sit idle and suffer losses? At least Shen Yao didn't have that idea.

Weilan curled his finger and tapped the tabletop; finally, under Shen Yao and Aolai's expressions, he raised his hand smiling and pointed to the window not far away, "Let's wait and see; actually, we are not the key point no matter what; we still have to see the Sins Empire's own choices. Presumably, the new king who ascended by luck has already made a decision; even if they decide something, they might not necessarily be able to interfere with this king who rose by luck."

Shen Yao:...

What was said was quite reasonable, because this new king who ascended by picking up the leftovers originally didn't have any world-shaking talent; having this opportunity was nothing more than walking dog-shit luck. Shen Yao had previously inquired whether this person was some kind of "hiding a tiger to eat a tiger," but as it turned out, there really weren't so many twists and turns; he was just luckier.

Aolai couldn't understand these things, but it didn't stop him from babbling and meddling there.

Especially the loot Aolai brought back when he returned; Shen Yao looked at the strangely shaped heart and wondered in her heart what benefit this thing had for Aolai?

"No benefit, but no harm either," Weilan said they and the owls were mortal enemies; these were hearts of immature owls. Keeping them here was better than letting them fall into the nest's resources to empower the enemy. You never know when these owl creatures might pop up, and their vampires' situation wasn't safe either.

Natural enemies and such; Weilan's first thought was to strangle them in the cradle.

Patting her hands to let Aolai go back and rest properly, Shen Yao pulled Weilan to carefully explain some matters regarding the Toweier Family during this period.

Weilan said he had already returned, so naturally he would handle things next.

And she had worked hard during this period; Shen Yao had to care for them and handle things, afraid her spirit had been under high pressure all along. It was just right to relax more now. With him here, let alone one Sins Empire, even ten or eight added together couldn't do anything to the Toweier Family.

With Weilan around, Shen Yao naturally felt reassured; after all, Weilan's abilities were evident to all.

The two talked about some other news until the housekeeper outside the door knocked, and only then did Weilan go to the study.

The system jumped out and said in a strange tone about the internal affairs of the Sins Empire, "That new king is going to take action, and also plans to make the vampire matter public."

Previously, they had chosen to conceal it from each other; after all, if non-human creatures like vampires were exposed, besides adding turmoil to human society, it couldn't bring much benefit to human society.

The same logic applied to werewolves for this reason.

It was just that the relationship between the new king who ascended now and the werewolf girl had caused a connection between them. According to the inference of using strength to fight strength, the werewolf group might unexpectedly welcome a wave of great benefits.

"He wants to make the vampire matter public; does he really intend to stand on the werewolves' side?" This wasn't just a matter of choice; more importantly, it would affect their own safety.

Moreover, the vampire matter had originally shifted from the surface to the dark; even if explained, for the upper class it was still just bringing it up, but for ordinary people, this was a death warrant.

One might ask, would people who could originally live normally feel afraid upon learning there was danger, and finally cause the entire society to fall into a state of constant turmoil?

"This... can't be. Moreover, vampires aren't really killing people," the system stammered.

Shen Yao told the system not to be too naive. What morality do vampires have? Once exposed, who knows they might directly tie people back to be used as blood bags.

"You have to know not all vampire families have a family head like Weilan." More often, it's one-man rule; doing whatever depends entirely on one's own will. To put it bluntly, that means having no scruples.

Having no scruples means doing as one pleases. This isn't good news for ordinary humans. Moreover, if the entire human society falls into chaos, more innocent people will fall into danger and trouble.

The system didn't have any good solution for this either. After all, vampires were too overpowered. If they fought with werewolves, it would still be these ordinary people who suffer losses.

"If it's nothing, pay more attention to news from the Sins Empire. I also want to see just what extent this new king can bring the Sins Empire to—whether he can turn the tide and bring the Sins Empire back from the brink, or accidentally play the Sins Empire into ruin and destruction." Shen Yao felt the latter possibility was quite high. After all, that werewolf girl could influence the entire empire even more than she imagined.

The topic came to an end. Shen Yao didn't want to continue arguing nonsense with the system. Moreover, Weilan was already back. Whether it was the Sins Empire side or the Toweier Family side, Shen Yao didn't need to continue working hard anymore.

Since that was the case, Shen Yao would just honestly quiet down and enjoy the rare salted fish time.

Hmm

That wasn't quite right either. When Shen Yao enjoyed life, there was also Aolai who occasionally caused trouble and needed attention. Fortunately, Aolai grew fast, and his ability to accept new knowledge was praiseworthy. With so many capable people in the Toweier Family, they could surely straighten Aolai out no matter what.

Aolai:...

Aolai, now grown into a young man's appearance, looked even more outstanding than Weilan. It was just that he couldn't speak, but that could immediately dispel the mystery about him.

"Mother"

Aolai sat beside Shen Yao, his arms clinging to her without letup, and the whole person practically wanted to hang directly in his mother's arms.

Shen Yao:...

"Aolai, don't mess around!"

Shen Yao really couldn't do anything about Aolai. Who would have thought an eighteen-year-old boy would have the mind of a three-year-old? Although the mind could be improved with external force, the essential thinking didn't change. No matter what, Aolai's childishness couldn't be changed.

Aolai blinked his beautiful green eyes. He just wanted to go to the Sins Empire to see the situation. After all, the current Sins Empire was said to be in utter chaos. The new king had barely been on the throne for a few days before he directly kicked the bucket, and then the chaotic history of succession began. Regardless of ability, it would be their turn.

The reason? Of course, because these people had bad luck. Not one of those who could survive and persist for a few more days existed.

But the old king was strong in producing offspring, fathering particularly many children. Moreover, at this time, there was no saying of passing to males but not females. As long as they were the old king's offspring, they could inherit the throne.

Since that was the case, these new kings began a rotation system. It was just that unlike others, after stepping down they could still survive; these ones only had a dead end. But this still couldn't stop some people's greed from acting up, thinking they were the most special one, not wanting to be ordinary, and finally becoming cannon fodder material for that position.

Aolai was among the first in the Toweier Family to know the inside story of these matters, which was why he had today's request. After all, children can never sit still.

Shen Yao didn't really want to stop Aolai from going. It was just that Aolai was unstable. If he ran out by himself, although there wasn't much danger, this child's luck wasn't great. According to the system's saying, those who achieve great things must suffer their sinews and starve their bodies. Aolai was currently receiving this treatment.

"You can go, but you can't sneak off by yourself. The Toweier Family happens to be making a trip. You can go with them and see the sights."

If he could really gain some insight from it, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Aolai.

Upon hearing his birth mother's words, Aolai immediately became overjoyed, though he did not get too carried away; after all, he had not yet departed from the Toweier Family, and if his birth mother changed her mind, he wouldn't know who to cry to.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao thought to herself: Am I the kind of person who goes back on her word? Besides, Aolai can protect himself, and his own abilities are far stronger than ordinary people; even if one worries about the danger of entering the Sins Empire which is currently a total mess, the possibility of Aolai encountering danger or something happening to him is the lowest.

Waving her hand to let Aolai go prepare, since there was nothing else he could just set off together with the Toweier Family's people, Shen Yao raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, summoning the system to ask just what stage the Sins Empire's chaos had reached.

System:...

"About to produce a victor?" The system spoke these words somewhat hesitantly, because in its view, a victor emerging meant the Sins Empire would thoroughly fall into a dead end of trouble; at least, there was no necessity to salvage this country's upper class.

"Oh, originally so."

It looks slightly miserable, after all the Sins Empire was originally extremely powerful, no other kingdom could compare to it.

As a result, in just these few years unseen, this pangran giant of the Sins Empire has thus fallen.

System:...

"Host, it hasn't fallen either, it's just in chaos; who knows, a turn-the-tide figure might still appear later to rebuild the Sins Empire," only no one knows how long this time will last, perhaps only a few years, or perhaps several decades or even a hundred years.

"This kind of thing only those who have experienced it know the concrete details, but it's all unrelated to us anyway," Shen Yao did not want to expend energy on these matters.

The other side

The already-departed Aolai thought left and right, and still made his preparations before going out to the utmost.

Although he did not really believe the family's people could match his own capabilities, with everyone acting together, who knows if a tiny little incident occurring among them might affect the entire outcome; Aolai may be young in years, but the things stored in his head are not few at all.

Very quickly, he finished preparing everything he needed to use, and when it was time to leave, he still did not forget to run a trip to the study and exchange a few words with his birth father.

Weilan had nothing much to instruct Aolai, but there were some words he had to tell his birth son: do not recklessly use your abilities, otherwise when the critical moment comes, it will very likely be a case of effort wasted at the last moment.

Aolai nodded, and following one day after rain, he departed with the other people of the Toweier Family.

"Young Master"

The Toweier Family's people treated Aolai with great respect, therefore when they arrived at the Sins Empire's capital, they always took Aolai's ideas as primary.

"You go do your own business; here, I don't need excessive attention."

For Aolai this trip out, broadening his horizons was the first priority; everything else could be disregarded.

The other people of the Toweier Family all had their own missions, they could not possibly accompany Aolai in playing house games.

Now hearing their own young master's words, they naturally left with peace of mind and boldness.

Aolai looked at the pitch-black night sky outside, pondered for a moment, then disappeared into the boundless dark night; after all, he came just to broaden his horizons and incidentally find some amusement; some things definitely require personal experience to know.

"So he ran off to the Imperial Palace?" Shen Yao thought to herself that Aolai is also not worry-free, directly sneaking into the Imperial Palace, not knowing how big a commotion he might stir up.

The system hee-hee-hawed, indicating that Aolai's infiltration this time was extremely smooth, completely no one could detect him; if not for the system's own abilities, it wouldn't have detected him either, showing this young master's capabilities are truly quite excellent.

Shen Yao:...

"Quickly stop flattering him; this child probably just thinks the Imperial Palace is lively," completely no other thoughts.

Sure enough, Shen Yao really is Aolai's birth mother; Aolai really did think this way; the reason he ran a circle to the Imperial Palace was just to see this new king who had been on the throne for no more than three days, whether he could actually survive until dawn.

Mm

The Sins Empire's succession struggle is just this tragic and direct; no matter how many changes, it cannot block the initial error.

The old king's death was too sudden, causing everyone else to be caught off guard; by the time some people realized this was wrong and the Sins Empire might perish, the situation had already developed to completely uncontrollable.

Whether with a plan in mind or completely clueless, all were dragged into the water.

Aolai hid at the doorway, no one discovered him, patiently listening to those strands of dialogue not far away named conspiracy but actually too open conspiracy, thinking to himself: human society truly is complex and changeable; isn't it just wanting to obtain the king's position? What use is all that chatter? Just take direct action.
