Protagonist:

Shen Yao

The werewolves' final attack was resolved by Weilan, while Aolai had long since led people to completely wipe out the enemy's hiding den.

"Host, now that the werewolves are gone, aren't the vampires invincible in this society?"

No one can restrict the vampire group anymore. If vampires can restrain themselves, it's fine; if not, the system drew a sharp breath, not daring to imagine where this continent would go.

Shen Yao:...

But still, isn't the system's reaction a bit slow? Isn't this the result of the cards being on the table long ago? Vampires and werewolves can no longer live in peace; no matter who wins or loses between the two sides, humans cannot escape the fate of enslavement.

It's just that one is a dull knife cutting flesh, habitually boiling frogs in warm water; the other prefers a quick slash to cut through hemp, striking hard to completely subdue them.

"But vampires aren't invincible," Shen Yao stood by the window gazing into the distance. Although she could see nothing at this moment, she knew that Weilan and Aolai were invincible, and no one on this continent was their match. "People grow old, and vampires will die too."

The defeat of a group is often due more to internal chaos than external causes.

When the divisible benefits are squandered, that is the moment the group falls apart.

Vampires will of course be invincible, but this invincibility has a specific time limit. No one can withstand the flood of time, and besides, vampires are not a uniquely favored group.

System:...

"Host, even if that kind of thing really happens," it seems to have nothing to do with them; they've long since gone who knows how many task worlds.

"Yes, so don't think too much," Shen Yao bent her fingers and lightly tapped her elbow crook, then changed to a more comfortable standing position and narrowed her eyes. "Enjoy the present," enjoy life.

Enjoy what? The system really had plans, but as an artificial intelligence, no matter how it persuaded itself to enjoy, it was different from humans with seven emotions and six desires.

This made the system even more eager to incarnate as an adult, although Shen Yao didn't quite understand why some non-human lifeforms would long for humans, this kind of creature.

…………

Weilan and Aolai returned, beaming with joy, having won a complete victory.

The subsequent arrangements were not beyond Shen Yao's expectations. Weilan played all the cards he could use, firmly stating he would cut the grass and remove the roots.

They had solved the vast majority of the werewolves, so the sporadic remnants scattered across the continent should be the responsibility of other forces.

Of course, this also counts as a letter of allegiance. If they were unwilling to do even this, then Weilan's blade would fall on them.

"Just right. Keeping some forces around is just adding chaos," Weilan had long found them displeasing. Taking this opportunity to clean up the sect, Weilan certainly wouldn't hold back.

Aolai was itching to try again on the side. Anyway, he had already beaten everyone around him into submission and didn't worry about his own safety at all.

Hearing his biological father playfully mention several annoying forces, this child directly raised his hand to volunteer to take the lead, to show off the Toweier Family's strength.

Shen Yao:...

"Aolai, don't make trouble," A son of a thousand gold does not sit under a hall.

He was Shen Yao's trump card, and even more, the key to Shen Yao completing her mission. With Weilan following behind, Shen Yao could of course rest assured, but if no one helped cover the rear, Aolai better not think about going out.

Aolai:...

Being directly refused by his birth mother, Aolai couldn't help but kick up a fuss. Originally he was just a child, except his superhuman combat strength and adult appearance once made people overlook this brat's true age.

Actually, Aolai had always been a troublesome child. Don't look at how well-behaved and quiet he seemed; in reality, his destructive power was astonishing. Which of the forces outside who had suffered losses didn't have a headache over him?

"No way no matter what. Besides, you've already gone out many times before." One couldn't very well snatch the work of other forces; that would be their own loss.

Weilan made a fist with one hand held empty near his lips, while hinting with his eyes that Aolai's fussing and pestering was useless now. After all, Shen Yao wouldn't fall for this.

As a big shot with relevant experience and maxed-out skills in coaxing people, Weilan knew too well what significance lay behind every move Shen Yao made. "Alright, go back to your room and rest first. I have my own arrangements."

Aolai:...

Fine. Hearing those words, Aolai found it hard not to be listless.

With furrowed brows and downcast eyes like bok choy struck by frost, Aolai turned and left the room, leaving only Shen Yao and Weilan smiling at each other.

Oh dear, what to do.

"This child is still not very steady," but this belonged to normal reactions, needing time and experience to settle. Shen Yao walked to Weilan's side, slightly raised her tiptoes, leaned close to the other's ear, and whispered a few words.

After receiving Weilan's affirmative answer, Shen Yao pretended to relax and let out a breath of relief. "Fortunately, otherwise I'd always have to worry about them."

Weilan raised his hand to hold Shen Yao's arm, at the same time pulling her into his embrace and patting her lightly. "It's just that your two cousins aren't doing well. The clansmen couldn't find their whereabouts."

Weilan was also puzzled by this. The Faluo Kingdom really wasn't large in area, and previously Shen Yao herself had made relevant arrangements.

Kain and Cui Si, these two clan councilors, had well placated the clan members. Once Weilan's people arrived, they smoothly transferred to a safe place.

But those two cousins who had once studied at Saint Tiana... Weilan could only be powerless. Who let it be that by the time they arrived, the people were already gone? This wasn't because Weilan didn't try. Facing an environment full of war and chaos everywhere, even an outstanding vampire would find it hard to find two missing people—like looking for a needle in the sea.

Hearing this, Shen Yao could only shake her head lightly. "As long as Grandfather and Grandmother are safe." She had no responsibility for others. Her relationship with her eldest uncle's family was ordinary, and when in Saint Tiana, the few of them didn't interact much.

One could only say that things had come to this point. Whether they could survive depended on their own luck.

The system said there was no need to rely on luck. It could still help find people.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao closed her eyes and leaned against Weilan's embrace. At the same time, the words she wanted to say echoed in her mind. "Found them? Am I supposed to arrange people to go save them?"

If not saving them, tell Kain and Cui Si. Then once the Kain family suffers losses, how would their own safety be guaranteed?

In the end, the one who suffers losses is still Shen Yao herself. Why do something with no benefit at all?

Let the system not focus its attention on these matters. If they really can't hold out, it's better to keep an eye on those forces Weilan judged as unsafe. Once these forces make a move, Shen Yao would have firsthand information, which would be no harm to the Toweier Family.

System:...

The system ultimately couldn't argue with Shen Yao. Besides, even if it could suppress Shen Yao, completing the mission was more important for the system.

After all, the purpose for which the system was created was to constantly shuttle through task worlds. Once it lost this function, it would have no reason to exist.

The annoying voice disappeared from Shen Yao's mind. She could finally lean quietly against Weilan's embrace.

Although Weilan had no problem, leaning against his body was hard and uncomfortable at all. But Weilan gave a sense of security, much more reliable than Aolai.

While inwardly complaining a couple of lines about her son being too full of himself, Shen Yao stayed nestled in Weilan's arms for a good long while before pulling back, blinking her pair of pretty eyes. "Has this continent settled down?"

Weilan gave an "Mm." "Soon. There are still too many kingdoms on the continent." After the consumption of everything before their eyes, the relevant quantity could be reduced by half.

With human society stable, the disappeared population quantity can return very quickly.

Considering the cultivation of daily rations, if vampires want to live on for a long time, they also need population.

The two tacitly stopped speaking of outside matters. Weilan pulled Shen Yao to sit on a chair. The tabletop held many newly received intelligence reports from various places. From among them she picked out several letters and handed them to Shen Yao. Weilan raised a hand to prop her chin, smiling as she gazed at her.

Shen Yao:... Mm?

"This is" what?

"Open it and see," Weilan played a riddle.

At those words Shen Yao raised an eyebrow, and just like that, lightly and casually, she opened the letter open.

Suddenly, Shen Yao widened her eyes, her expression surprised, more like disbelief.

"How is it? Still like it?" This was a gift Weilan had meticulously selected and seriously prepared for a long time.

Shen Yao:...

Before Shen Yao could speak, the system at her side had already jumped out, chattering away.

Ribbit ribbit ribbit!

The man Host found has heroic spirit! Not only giving money, power, and property, this is practically handing over half the clan's rights to Host.

What if...

It's not that the system thinks too darkly. If Weilan has any mishap, then Host can skip over Aolai, the sole heir, and control the entire Toweier Family, and she can even decide Aolai's heir position.

Hiss

Could it be Host gave Weilan some gu? How could he make such a decision? Is this still that person with a cautious behavior style at Saint Tiana School? Could he have been possessed by something?

The more the system speculated, the more outrageous it became. Not only did it scare itself, an artificial intelligence, silly, but even its mechanical speaking voice carried a trace of trembling.

Shen Yao couldn't be bothered to deal with the system. She took a deep breath and looked at Weilan with a serious expression.

She didn't quite understand this person's arrangement. Why?

If it was to ensure her safety and status, actually, given the current situation, Shen Yao is as stable as Mount Tai in the Toweier Family. There is fundamentally no need for Weilan to make this superfluous move.

It can be said that Weilan doing this, aside from bringing himself certain not-so-good shortcomings, has fundamentally no benefit whatsoever.

Oh

That can't be said either. Weilan can still obtain Shen Yao's true feelings.

But this kind of thing, "Very good, I like it very much."

Just like liking Shen Yao this person, keeping the other by her side, doing her utmost to treat her well.

Weilan spoke with a smile the purpose of his doing this, simple and pure. Perhaps he would regret it in the future, but he understood even more clearly that if he didn't do it now, his regret would only come faster.

'Wah wah wah, so moving, Host, your taste is really good!'

The system started acting as an eyesore again. Its tearful appearance destroyed the entire environmental atmosphere completely.

Shen Yao really takes the system, this old six. What messy novels has it read again? Does it know that as an artificial intelligence it has already been derelict? If there really were a Main System, it would have been recalled and destroyed humanely.

Weilan's intention in doing this can be said to be for Shen Yao, but also can be said to be for himself.

Because throughout the whole process, Weilan showed enjoyment. He was truly doing such a small matter, and did not consider too many interest entanglements. It's just that the consequences he brought about would be somewhat large.

Sincerely expressing gratitude to Weilan, Shen Yao must admit this person really has a trick. Even battle-hardened Shen Yao would waver.

But this kind of wavering Shen Yao has experienced long ago. Once unfamiliar, twice familiar. She won't stop her own footsteps. Just like those previous task worlds, she is forever centered on herself. Only this way can she continue to walk on.

Time is like sand held in the hand. No matter how persistently one tries, one cannot keep it.

Weilan and Aolai rushed to the front striving for benefits. Shen Yao sat in the Toweier Family guarding the rear. The two sides cooperated with tacit understanding. Especially after Weilan's gift, Shen Yao's control over the Toweier Family became even more justified and proper.

One month, two months, five months, eight months, one year, two years, five years...

A full seven years were consumed before this continent became stable and peaceful.

During this period, the Toweier Family contributed the most. Especially Weilan and Aolai, after several life-and-death tests, not only progressed extremely fast, but also resolved many troubles that had not yet appeared.

Just as Weilan said, there are still too many kingdoms on this continent. After this war lasting over a decade, some weak kingdoms have already disappeared in the long ballad. Only a few great countries still hold on, but looking at the situation, I'm afraid before long they will also follow in the wake of other kingdoms.

Weilan personally cultivated a super great country, the Fiona United Kingdom. It was formed as an aggregate based on the Sins Empire, absorbing several surrounding kingdoms.

Their governance is not a king's dictatorship, but several political bodies jointly governing the country. Mutual checks and bonds exist between them. Acting this way, they also need not fear loss of control.

The Toweier Family is also one of the political powers of the Fiona United Kingdom, but their persona remains ancient and conservative. Until the kingdom's life-and-death survival is at stake, they do not easily express views.

Just like the treatment of the original Sins Empire. Only the Sins Empire was really disobedient. Weilan's transactions have always been willing on both sides. Therefore the Sins Empire long ago departed with the wind. Now only the Fiona United Kingdom remains.

'Host, you say this United Kingdom, how long can it exist?'

The system inquired of the Host about to go out. Shen Yao, in a set of exquisite clothes, as a new noble of the Fiona United Kingdom, needs to occasionally show her face.

'Who knows? But it should exist longer than the Sins Empire, right?'

The Sins Empire is a hereditary system. The Fiona United Kingdom is an electoral system. Two different governance systems, the time they exist will of course be different.

Shen Yao still looks more favorably on this newly risen Fiona United Kingdom.

'Is that so?' The system always feels it's old wine in a new bottle. Still those upper-class nobles. Host's optimism seems to have no use either.

'Why bother being serious?' They won't persist until the Fiona United Kingdom falls. Just talking. No responsibility to pay.

The distant sun bakes the earth. The long road ahead stretches to the distance. Shen Yao half-narrowed her eyes lying in the seat, thoughts drifting away...
