Main Character:

Shen Yao

"This, this is cooperation already?" The System was directly stunned.

No, this is proceeding a bit too fast, isn't it? They only just met, then immediately had tacit understanding and cooperated, joining forces to deal with the shadows.

System:???

The System, full of little question marks, didn't understand. Shen Yao, in a good mood, kindly helped popularize the knowledge: "Here, we distinguish between internal contradictions and external contradictions. Granted, werewolves and vampires can no longer coexist peacefully, but what good things are these shadows?"

They naturally have to kill the strangest and greatest threat first before they can continue resolving the conflict between the two sides.

In that second when the werewolf and Shen Yao looked at each other, both sides understood each other's intentions.

The entire battlefield could be said to be every man for himself; the only difference was that the shadows had to go first.

The young girl couldn't help but cry out in alarm, drawing frequent attention from the System, which still wanted to say something.

"Dragging me down!"

The System viciously evaluated the young girl's side effect, indicating that when the two sides fought each other later, its own Host would unsurprisingly seize the initiative.

"Rumble—"

Explosive sounds rang out one after another beside Shen Yao's ears. She raised her head to look at the shadows constantly splitting apart and closing back together, only to see the originally very dense color being slowly diluted bit by bit.

Tsk tsk tsk.

This kind of inexplicably strange thing disgusted her so much her whole body broke out in goosebumps.

"Hiss, Host, these shadows... are they alive?" The System's mechanical voice sounded somewhat unstable. No wonder, since the System is a coward too.

Shen Yao gave a soft hum of agreement, indicating the System had finally been smart for once, but the System could only guess half right: "There are other people around."

"Or perhaps they can't be counted as people. Half-human, half-ghost, able to create sinister things like shadows — whether their own humanity still exists is hard to say."

System:...

The Host's few short sentences directly crashed the System. It really didn't know how to respond, especially since these things are truly inexplicable. But listening to its own Host's words, could there be other problems inside this?

Of course!

Shen Yao had long since discovered the boss hiding in the back wanting to reap the fisherman's gain. Although she didn't think she would capsize, with the male and female leads present beside her, who could predict how the two would choose?

Her footsteps didn't stop retreating backward. While dodging the shadows' attacks, she didn't forget to flick the red whip in her hand forward. Shen Yao conveniently added a little trouble for the male and female leads, directly exposing the young girl within the attack range.

Werewolf:...

"Vampire, despicable and shameless!"

Actually using underhanded tactics secretly, it must be deliberate!

The werewolf raised his arm to embrace the frightened young girl, simultaneously protecting her in his arms, and conveniently dodged the shadows coming at him while glaring fiercely at Shen Yao not far away.

Shen Yao's action just now hadn't escaped the werewolf at his side. Thinking of the young girl's body nearly being injured, the werewolf hated that he couldn't directly fight Shen Yao right then. This vampire really doesn't distinguish between enemy and ally. The two of them had just been cooperating with tacit understanding perfectly.

Shen Yao:...

Being accused by the werewolf, Shen Yao didn't have much feeling about it. After all, whether the other party was right or wrong couldn't change the enemy relationship between the two sides.

Moreover, when did she not see the werewolf's secret little moves and petty thoughts before? Hmph! Since he acted the first day, don't blame her for acting the fifteenth. Dare to do it but not dare to admit it? Does he take her for a soft steamed bun?

The two's gazes met again in mid-air. Shen Yao slightly curled her lips in a smile. Under the other's tightly furrowed brows, she dealt with these shadows on her own, conveniently continuing to divert trouble eastward.

Werewolf and young girl:...

The werewolf clearly still wanted to retaliate, but was held back tightly by the young girl at his side grabbing his sleeve. "Don't, let's leave first!"

The young girl's eyes suddenly grew larger. Looking at Shen Yao was like seeing something terrifying. The heart in her chest pounded wildly, wishing it could jump right out.

The werewolf ultimately didn't continue to provoke back, but he had already memorized Shen Yao's appearance. In his heart he swore that once he left this strange place, he would definitely find an opportunity to retaliate. Never had anyone made him suffer so many silent losses.

"Host, that werewolf hates that he can't directly tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

Aiya ya, so scary. How can he show such an appearance? Isn't the double standard a bit too obvious?

"Heh, he should first think about how to escape," Shen Yao raised her hand and another red vine lashed out, fiercely whipping the shadow that had flown to the front.

The shadow was flung away again, its color becoming somewhat paler. Simultaneously, like crumbling fragments, mist dispersed all around in unspoken agreement.

Shen Yao seized the time. Her footsteps gradually quickened. The movements of her hands didn't stop for a moment, constantly circling around the shadows before her.

Not far away, the werewolf and young girl were intercepted by a person who jumped out. The two sides fought a life-and-death battle.

Seizing the timing, grasping the key moment, Shen Yao suddenly conjured a long-necked glass bottle full of red pigment from her empty palm. Bang!

The glass bottle was thrown forward, quickly landing at the center of the shadows. In just a moment, a louder sound suddenly appeared. The shadows, like exploding fireworks, flew out in all directions accompanied by piercing wails.

The wails sounded very human, only mixed with a malice no one could articulate. Shen Yao tried to distinguish them, but in the end dumped them all onto the male and female leads behind her.

After all, they are two people with great Fortune on their bodies. Believe they can turn danger into safety.

Pitted by Shen Yao again, the werewolf's explosive temper simply couldn't be controlled. He shook off the young girl still holding him. The person had already rushed to a spot only a few meters from Shen Yao. A pair of wolf claws carrying biting cold wind shot forward, heading straight for Shen Yao's entire back.

Just like she had eyes growing on her back, Shen Yao lightly swayed her body, only leaning back to dodge, avoiding the attack from the werewolf.

The blood-colored vines originally used to attack the shadows were tossed under the werewolf's feet. Instantly swelling vines, baring fangs and brandishing claws, tried to bind the prey before them. After all, the werewolf also counts as vampire food.

The vines seemed like a living creature. In reality, they were merely an attack method condensed from her own blood. Vampire abilities are strange and varied. As a converted vampire, Shen Yao's abilities aren't considered great, but can't be called small either.

For instance, the small move just revealed a moment ago directly bound the slow-reacting werewolf tightly. Although the next second the werewolf relied on his own sharp claws to completely tear the vines apart and discard them, that powerful binding ability still made the werewolf show great wariness.

Shen Yao continued smiling, simultaneously pointing at the direction the young girl screamed.

Still not going over to save your true love? An ordinary human girl is impossible to survive under this kind of strange situation.

Werewolf:...

The werewolf flashed behind the young girl. His raised arm blocked the attack pressing down, and conveniently reflected the force back.

The reflected thing quickly bounced back again. Like a rebound after superimposed force, this time the werewolf's resistance wasn't as easy as before. Shen Yao clearly saw the cracks under the werewolf's feet, originating from that force just now.

"Hee hee hee..."

A strange sound appeared by Shen Yao's ear; the lurking rats in the dark jumped out, and incidentally surrounded the werewolf and the girl.

Shen Yao's side was naturally not left out, but compared to the heavily valued male and female leads, Shen Yao was clearly underestimated by the other party, especially these creatures that had jumped out and were no longer human, still holding traditional tools for dealing with vampires in their hands.

Shen Yao:...

How to put it? One always feels there are some messy things mixed up in here.

Shaking her head helplessly, Shen Yao did not intend to waste too much time here; she raised her hand a few times, and ferocious vines bound up these few little mice.

The little mice started screaming in chaos, simultaneously using the ability of shadows and their own skills trying to break free from the vines, but they were not werewolves, they did not have the werewolf's pair of arms that could cut through all things; all they could do was command the creatures they could command to rescue themselves.

Progress on the werewolf and girl's side was halting; although the werewolf did not fear these things, who made the girl a very ordinary human? She simply had no ability to cope with this strange environment; most of the time she still relied on the werewolf, and whenever the werewolf's care was not thorough, the girl's body would gain some inexplicable wounds.

Tsk tsk tsk

It looks like the male and female leads' fortune is declining; as expected it is the influence, even the plot cannot completely identically protect the male and female leads.

This makes things very easy to handle.

Shen Yao did not even need to dirty her own hands; she sent all the troubles around her to the male and female leads' side, watching the werewolf struggle to maintain protection of the girl, even the girl's pleas for her not to do so were treated as unheard.

The system complained the host was truly ruthless, feeling this pair of male and female leads was quite pitiful.

'Pitiful? Do you want to take a look at why they ended up on the wanted list?'

It was merely a game between both sides; under the game of victor and vanquished, she ultimately obtained victory.

If it were the werewolf scheming against her successfully, the one with a splitting headache and in despair now would be her; the other party would absolutely not let her leave this basement.

System:...

The system indicated that although the host's words were all very correct, this had not happened yet, there was no need to assume her own situation was too bad.

'As the saying goes, a person without far-reaching worries will have near-term troubles;' at this time, if not worried now then when? Moreover, she came out alone; Weilan and Aolai were not by her side protecting her; Shen Yao was also very dangerous, okay.

The Toweier Family's high-end combat power consisted only of Weilan and Aolai, father and son; the two of them were also personnel who frequently went out; Shen Yao only occasionally went out once; unfortunately, this time's luck could not be said to be good or bad; although the harvest was far more than expected, this pair of male and female leads also gave Shen Yao a lot of trouble.

Smilingly watching the male and female leads struggle to resist, Shen Yao propped her chin, casually found a patch of ground that was still fairly clean and tidy, and sat down directly.

The werewolf and girl glared fiercely, especially the girl did not forget to drag Shen Yao into the water.

Pity these not-human creatures had poor brains; they fixated on the male and female leads' greater danger, insisting on a showdown with the other party.

Shen Yao happily watched the spectacle; as the wounds on the werewolf and girl increased, those shadows and not-human creatures decreased in number, until finally vines appeared, condensing into large chunks of dark red creatures, opening their mouths and swallowing everything; the entire basement was left with only Shen Yao existing.

System:...

'Wow, the male and female leads are gone,' that novel's plot once again underwent an earth-shattering change, indirectly influencing the entire continent's direction.

Shen Yao stood up, elegantly patted off the dust that had just stained her body, then with a calm face searched for the various items scattered around; she planned to pack everything up and take it back for reserve.

'What things?'

'Of course these little mice's research results;' don't tell me you really think this place is haunted, it's merely some people with selfish motives using this as a pretext to stir up their greed.

Fortunately there were no other people interfering; Shen Yao's speed of finding things was extraordinarily fast; in a few moves she packed up everything she needed; when Shen Yao left this abandoned castle, outside it was still the deep black night.

Mm

The time was not early; she should go back and rest.

The morning town slowly became lively amidst the vintage bell sounds.

This abandoned castle was unexpectedly noticed to have changes, provoking the town's residents to join in discussion and speculation.

What exactly happened? How did a corner collapse? Could it be there is something strange inside? Would that affect them? Moving away from the town is the last resort; before they can survive, they absolutely will not consider it.

Shen Yao still appeared before the abandoned castle holding a sun umbrella; like the town's other residents, she discussed it using words.

Only the town residents continued their lives after discussing, while Shen Yao slowly left the town, returning to the Toweier Family with relaxed steps.

Weilan and Aolai were both at home; they had only arrived half a day earlier than Shen Yao.

Seeing Shen Yao return safely, Aolai concernedly and encouragingly embraced her, and did not forget to narrate his every move outside during this period, especially that he had very smoothly completed the mission Weilan gave him, making the Toweier Family's trump cards become more numerous.

Crash

Shen Yao handed the things she brought back to Weilan; among them a portion was useful to the Toweier Family, a portion could be taken out to exchange with other forces.

Raising her hand to touch her own hair, Shen Yao did not speak of the male and female leads' matter, but narrated the sights seen in the abandoned castle's basement.

Weilan and Aolai were clearly very tempted; after all, these cultists, abnormal as they were, the things in their hands were still very valuable.

For example, these items Shen Yao brought back; whether for the Toweier Family's own use or for exchange, they could bring the Toweier Family the things it needed.

Weilan raised her hand and patted Shen Yao's shoulder, sincerely expressing that this matter was hard work; if she had known Time Town would have this kind of cultist, she would definitely have made more arrangements.

"Now it is smoothly resolved, but this kind of matter also reminds us that seemingly inconspicuous places will always have some overlooked troubles."

Just like the male and female leads' appearance, to a certain extent it increased the possibility of obtaining benefits, but at the same time crisis follows like a shadow; this is the profundity of fortune.
