Main Character:

Shen Yao

Shen Yao returned from Time Town and rested for a very long period before continuing to go out.

Of course, going out was also to better collect the trump cards the Toweier Family needed. Unlike Weilan and Aolai, the father and son would sometimes moonlight as cold-blooded killers. Shen Yao basically only dealt with those related to the Main Cast. It was also because the situation outside was getting worse and worse. Driven by the plot, who knew how many Main Characters had appeared. Shen Yao did not feel these people had the ability to end this messy Continent, so when she struck, there was not the slightest hesitation or struggle.

System: ……

Although, but, isn't the acceptance a bit too smooth? Host, don't you have even a little thought of being a Behind-the-scenes Boss?

Seeing her own Host pit another newly emerged pair of Main Characters to death once again, the System lamented that this world was too chaotic. "But how did they end up running here?"

It was like transferring from a Noble school to an Ordinary Person school. Main Characters, ah, born with good luck, and as a result they ran into her own Host, this killing god.

"If they could run out, they definitely had an agenda." It was just that they couldn't compare to Shen Yao's confidence. In the end, they still had to lose their lives at Shen Yao's hands.

Looking thoughtfully at the already flattened House and the dust and ash drifting toward All Directions, Shen Yao suddenly asked about Aolai and Weilan's situation.

"Are those two still outside?"

"Mm, a sudden unexpected situation came up temporarily. Looks like they plan to resolve it conveniently."

The System's "resolve it conveniently" was vague. In reality, the problems involved would likely need lives to fill. Who told Aolai and Weilan that this time they went out to ally with other Vampire Forces?

One Mountain cannot accommodate two Tigers. Weilan and Aolai, father and son, could both fight and tank. While other Vampire Forces were in a predicament, the Toweier Family accumulated rich trump cards and flourished day by day. The contrast between the two sides could not be more obvious.

Weilan and Aolai unsurprisingly ran into Trouble while allying with other Vampire Forces.

Even though the situation was stronger than the people, Vampires, this kind of Creature, are just a bit evil. They are not Humans at all, and they don't have the thought of vertical and horizontal alliances. All they can think of is: whoever is strong is right.

Every time this happened, Weilan and Aolai had to display their skills and Muscles before they could rake these restless Vampire Forces into their own Bowl.

This time was the same. They went to a foreign Country Town. The number of Vampires inside was not large, but their abilities were special. Weilan and Aolai planned to merge them into the Toweier Family for their own use.

The unexpected situation the System spoke of was that Weilan and Aolai encountered a Force with the same idea as their father and son. The two sides exchanged a few moves upon meeting. That Weilan and Aolai held the upper hand goes without saying, but they still had to give the other side an unforgettable lesson to avoid the possibility of them contending for the same targets later.

This time was likewise. The System had said the same words who knew how many times before. In any case, Shen Yao had long since heard the pattern, deduced that the father and son Weilan and Aolai had no Safety issues, and thus stopped asking further.

"Let's go back."

With matters here finished, Shen Yao returned to the Toweier Family in a leisurely, unhurried manner.

Now the entire Family was like a wound-up operating Machine. Every Family member continuously shone and heated at their posts. Occasionally there would be unfortunate deaths. Fortunately, Vampires besides surviving also have conversion. There were quite a few Ordinary People around the Toweier Family. These people had intricate blood ties with the Toweier Family and were not resistant to becoming Vampires. They were very good conversion candidates.

"Madam."

"……"

Shen Yao smiled and nodded all the way, only exhaling a breath when she walked into the Room.

Hah

Compared to the wind and rain outside, the Home felt even more oppressive. This is a feeling. If one were a carefree, free person, they would completely fail to adapt.

Shen Yao's adaptability was good. She could even comfort herself.

Moreover, compared to outside, the Toweier Family couldn't be faulted no matter what. In these years, being able to stay Alive is the most important. Even strong as Vampires, one careless moment and they would die.

"Madam, this is last month's Account Book," mainly including the Family's Internal Expenses and the Benefits earned when going out. The Toweier Family's Force grew larger, and expenditures climbed steadily. The steward was also a bit worried.

Shen Yao hummed once, took the Account Book to her side to browse through it. It was more or less the same as what Weilan said when he left. She simply told the steward the expenditures she had long since earmarked together. "Handle it like this for now. The rest waits for the Family Head to return."

Some matters Shen Yao was not convenient to participate in more. After all, Weilan and Aolai were the ones in charge of external affairs. Although many of the strategies inside were thought up by Shen Yao.

The steward hummed once, nodded, and then disappeared before Shen Yao.

The Account Book in hand was tossed to the side and put away properly. Shen Yao raised her hand and stretched lazily, continuing to flip through the other things on the desk.

As she flipped through, Shen Yao felt a bit sleepy. She simply stood up, returned to the Window Side, and sat down to rest.

A breeze blew from the Window Side. After brushing past her Cheeks, there were other Tastes.

The sensitive smell of a Vampire made Shen Yao react instantly. She whooshed to her feet, not forgetting to summon the steward waiting Outside the Door.

The steward appeared before Shen Yao in one second. With a respectful expression, he spoke of the situation outside. It turned out the Werewolf group hiding in the Sins Empire chose to act. They had already started fighting with the Clansmen left in the Toweier Family.

Analyzing the current situation, the Toweier Family has the entire Family as backing. The Werewolf group is an external Force. The winning side is definitely large, the losing side small.

But it does not Guarantee whether other Werewolf groups will slowly join in. The steward's Suggestion was still to let Family members with insufficient ability or who were too old or too young leave in Advance, to Prevent them from being implicated when the other side fights desperately.

Shen Yao hummed once upon hearing this, and had the steward go down to Arrange it.

Weilan and Aolai had not yet returned. Currently, there weren't many usable people at Home. If the Werewolf group really swarmed up to trade life for life, they really would lose a part. It couldn't be called injuring muscles and bones, but it would definitely be painful.

As the Madam, with Weilan and Aolai absent, Shen Yao needed to be responsible for the entire Toweier Family. Naturally, she could not leave as the steward said. But she not leaving was fine; other people must leave first.

The bloody smell in the air grew thicker and thicker. Shen Yao stood at the Window Side looking out, until the horizon's setting sun revealed a touch of warm orange light.

She immediately went Downstairs to join the Battle. Blood Vines smashed down, causing chaotic rocks to fly and splash. Shen Yao was like a small Animal with agile and light movements, making these Werewolves who relied on instinct and their own bodies suffer no small loss.

Such Battle lasted a full three days and three nights. During this period, various Forces joined in. But the Werewolf group was, after all, external. In the end, their trump cards were not as many as the Toweier Family's. They could only retreat helplessly, leaving a ground full of Corpses and remains.

Not just Corpses and remains, there were also some bloody, hissing marks.

Shen Yao swept a quick glance. She had the steward leave enough hands to clean up the Scene. Especially since there were many Werewolf Corpses inside. Unlike Vampires who turn into piles of small Xiao Tu Sand Dunes after death — Safe and harmless — Werewolf Corpses are the same as Ordinary People. The only Benefit is that Werewolf Corpses are very useful. The Blood they provide is even more Nutritious than Ordinary People.

The steward nodded in agreement. By the way, he asked Shen Yao to return to the Room. Outside was a mess. How could he let the Owner suffer.

The System jumped in frustration. "Host, did you see? In the retreating Werewolves, there's that Werewolf girl!"

It was Funa, who was previously tied up by Aolai, then given by Weilan to Exchange for items. This Werewolf girl really has some substance. Not only did she not die, her importance in the plot has greatly increased.

Not to mention anything else. If it develops like this further, Funa really might transform into a new Female Lead. As for who the Male Lead is, that depends on who Funa wants to continue entangling with. The Sins Empire is a tangled mess right now. Thanks to Funa staying inside stirring up wind and rain.

"I saw. Her ability has improved quite a bit. Looks like she didn't slack off after going back."

At least she knows to strive for strength. She didn't fail to learn from previous experience and lessons.

Raising her beautiful Eyebrows and looking again at the horizon that had completely darkened, Shen Yao had the System watch the Werewolf group that withdrew halfway. Find out clearly their next Arrangement, so the Toweier Family can make two-handed Preparation.

"Host plans to scatter them all?" Looking at it, the difficulty seems a bit high. Weilan and Aolai can't return in a Short time. Relying solely on the Toweier Family and the Forces that attached themselves, it's not certain they can do it.

It's not that the System looks down on the Host; it's just that without rice, even the cleverest cook can't make a meal!

'Do your best; we can't wait for Weilan and Aolai to return for everything,' the situation outside was getting worse, and the father and son could no longer return at a fixed time, so she had to prepare to handle things alone; otherwise, when things actually happened, what could she do?

After exchanging a few simple words with the System, Shen Yao raised her hand to rub her slightly sore and swollen forehead; since there was nothing else to do, she returned to her room to rest, anyway she had just finished a fight and couldn't fight again for now, so she should rest well during this period.

By the time Shen Yao opened her eyes again and summoned the steward, the clansmen who had been sent away had already returned, the smell of blood in the air had completely dissipated, but they had suffered heavy losses in this battle; the death of clansmen would affect the entire clan's combat power, and the steward had already sent over the relevant list; as expected, they had to seize the time to convert and cultivate new vampires.

Shen Yao told the steward to let loose and give anyone who wasn't too incompetent a chance.

These converted vampires weren't important, but they were indeed very useful human-sea tool people; besides, there was no coercion or concealment here, the big guys belonged to mutual pursuit, and Shen Yao had no need to stop them.

Shen Yao would never do things like being a villain; besides, converted vampires couldn't compare to natural vampires, but vampires were still stronger than ordinary humans; in this world where everyone was in danger, it could be said that becoming a vampire was a blessing many couldn't ask for.

With the steward interfering, the conversion ritual in the basement had not stopped since it was activated; ordinary humans kept coming in and going out, and the originally somewhat deserted Toweier Family became lively again.

Shen Yao had no requirements for these newly converted vampires; she only told the steward to cultivate their ability usage, which were things vampires naturally possessed, similar to blind box draws; what ability one got depended on one's own luck.

There were indeed some lucky ones who got heaven-defying abilities, successfully rose from the bottom class to the peak, gained the steward's attention and were promoted several ranks, but this was ultimately a small part; most were ordinary and common, dispensable.

'How could they be dispensable? High-end combat power on the battlefield is important, but ordinary soldiers can also kill an elephant with many ants;' fighting wasn't about individual strength; swarming up regardless of everything, even a war god would be flustered and eventually suffer a loss.

Shen Yao tapped the System that had gone off track, and by the way explained the current situation to herself.

Vampires and werewolves who had fought each other before; if they wanted to fight again next time, they needed a foolproof plan; the simplest was to gather information and investigate the truth; for example, the previous werewolf attack definitely knew Weilan and Aolai were not there, otherwise they wouldn't have rushed in.

'There are double agents everywhere, Host, but you didn't intend to dig them all out; are you planning to use their scheme against them and badly pit the werewolves?'

The System pointed to several small red dots on the screen; among a crowd of yellow or green ones, they were abnormally prominent.

'Correct, but we must also guard against the opponent having a backup plan;' what if I predicted your prediction; wouldn't that be hemp claws; an entire clan couldn't possibly not have a clever person.

System:...

Always felt that with the werewolves' intelligence, they obviously couldn't think of so many twists and turns, but the Host doing this was being prepared, so the System naturally supported with both hands and feet.

Some time passed, and only then did Weilan and Aolai return with people.

Compared to when they left, the number of people was smaller, but they brought back more important news and results.

Most fundamentally, several vampire forces they contacted all chose to watch over and assist the Toweier Family; regardless of whether these words were sincere or false, as long as they didn't choose to backstab the Toweier Family, Weilan could turn a blind eye.

Besides this, Weilan and Aolai also solved several groups that could bring them threats in the future, including the werewolf force with the largest power.

When the father and son took action, it was a one-sided victory scene.

Shen Yao happily welcomed the father and son with a wind-cleansing dust-washing ceremony, and by the way recounted the matter of the werewolves attacking the Toweier Family while they were absent, adding at the end the location where this group of werewolves currently resided.

'I worry there is fraud inside, and did not arrange for people to take the initiative to attack;' besides, if she really sent people out, what if the Toweier Family's interior was empty and besieged? Compared to revenge, home was ultimately more important.

Weilan very much agreed with Shen Yao's approach; after all, the manpower Shen Yao could send were these people left in the Toweier Family when he left.

It wasn't that they were incapable, but compared to those who ran around outside with Weilan and his son, these people's combat power and capabilities were not outstanding; occasionally there were a few strong ones, but the quantity did not hold an advantage.

'Leave this matter to me to handle;' at worst he would personally go out for a trip.

Aolai followed with mm-hmm and ah-ah, indicating he could also contribute a portion of effort; taking advantage of them being out and not at home to bully the people at home, Aolai gripped both hands into fists with crackling sounds; he had to show them some color.
