Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 749 Cannon Fodder in a Western Fantasy World (9)

My vision dimmed, and a wonderful fragrance lingered around my nose, faint yet persistent, soothing my racing heart.

Shen Yao was about to speak when Wei Lan stopped her before she could open her mouth.

Her loose hair got tangled in Vilan's sleeves. While gently comforting Shen Yao, Vilan glanced coldly at the vigilant vampire not far away.

Ah!

He asked what happened, and it turned out to be a lackey!

"roll!"

However, with just a single word, the vampires who had rushed in were immediately alarmed. Some turned and ran away in fear, while others, whose strength was insufficient, were killed on the spot.

This is the difference in birth in the vampire world, or you could say it's a matter of bloodline.

Vilan's origins alone are a limiting factor; many vampires cannot withstand a single round against him.

"Vailan, senior?"

Shen Yao finally shouted out because she could smell the scent in the air—a faint smell of blood, not as strong as it had been at St. Tiana School. But judging from Shen Yao's intuition, a large-scale battle must have broken out here.

As for who will win the battle, just look at Vilan standing right in front of him, effortlessly dealing with the enemy; everything is self-evident.

"Junior Sister Shen Yao"

The previously obstructed view opened up, and Shen Yao blinked subconsciously before smiling slightly at Wei Lan beside her.

Like a sense of relief after fear, Vilan's heart couldn't help but tremble.

He lowered his eyes and blinked, his long eyelashes fluttering like butterflies.

"what happened?"

Shen Yao shook her head and silently glanced at the messy surroundings.

Yes, there were shards of broken glass and overturned tables and chairs everywhere. Shen Yao reached out and grabbed Wei Lan's sleeve, her voice trembling as expected.

Vilan suddenly softened, raised her hand to pat Shen Yao's shoulder, and then took Shen Yao's wrist and left the mall.

Because of the vampire attack, the light show could not continue, and the town of Pine Snow even had to conduct an emergency investigation for a period of time to prevent vampires from sneaking in and causing more serious trouble by looting during the chaos.

"I'm so sorry about today, junior Shen Yao. Go back and get some rest."

Vilan looked at Shen Yao with some hesitation. He was unsure whether to erase her memory or not. Could this junior's body and mind really withstand continuing to live with such terrifying memories?

The truth is that Shen Yao's public persona is too normal; she's just a girl who evokes a strong desire to protect her, gentle and without any aggression. There are countless people like that on the street. It's just that Wei Lan is familiar with Shen Yao, so she shows more concern for her.

"Senior Vilan, there's no need to apologize. This time it wasn't your fault."

"If my senior hadn't returned in time, I'm afraid I would have been in danger."

She clenched her fingers, her fingertips turning slightly white, and took several deep breaths before finally meeting Vilan's gaze. "I'd like to know, was the person who attacked me today a vampire?"

Vilan wasn't surprised; he just thought this junior was braver than he'd imagined, daring to utter the words "vampire."

Moreover, the logic here is too complicated to ponder, because Vilan protected her at a series of medical conferences, so Vilan's identity will be obvious.

After all, proud vampires don't bow their heads like ordinary humans.

"A vampire? What are your plans, junior?" Vilan ignored the hint of unease that had surfaced and raised the corners of her lips to her familiar smile.

This is Vilan's usual expression when he's out in public. It's neither happiness nor indifference, but rather a self-protection mechanism to prevent others from seeing through his true thoughts.

Shen Yao:......

What could Shen Yao possibly think? All she could do was try her best to keep herself safe.

Suddenly, a pair of arms reached out and embraced Wei Lan. Shen Yao buried her head in Wei Lan's arms and whispered something for a long time.

The voice was so soft that if Vilan hadn't been exceptionally gifted as a vampire, he wouldn't have heard it at all.

"See you later, Senior Vilan."

Shen Yao smiled beautifully, her face radiant in the dim light.

Vilan: ...

Wei Lan stared blankly as Shen Yao turned and left, her figure disappearing in front of the dormitory building, before she finally pulled her wandering thoughts back.

He suddenly smiled, as if he had encountered something interesting. It turned out that the girl's belief was so innocent and pure, but unfortunately, he really was not a good person.

Vilan considered himself a bad guy, but even as a bad guy, he didn't instruct his bodyguards to erase the memory of the girl who had already entered the dormitory until he left.

It should be noted that his vampire identity was kept secret at St. Tiana School; apart from a very few individuals, no one else knew about it.

Shen Yao is Saint Tiana's student, and also an uncontrollable danger. Based on Vilan's previous actions, there is no way to let Shen Yao leave. The danger must be nipped in the bud.

But what about now?

The bodyguards sat upright and, as Vilan got into the car, meticulously reported everything that had happened at the mall, including how they had cleaned up the mess, so as not to leave any loose ends that could expose problems.

Vilan listened the whole way until the remaining black car stopped at a corner.

"That's enough for now. You all need to keep a close eye on these vampires. I don't want this to happen again in the mall."

After saying that, Vilan got out of the car, but disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Shen Yao's situation was not mentioned at all. Since Wei Lan did not speak, the others dared not make any rash moves.

…………

'Host, what exactly does Vilan mean? Why is he abandoning you?'

More than half a year has passed since the mall incident. The system has watched as Vilan is busy everywhere, and even when he's not busy, he has his own things to do, but he just doesn't come to find his host.

why?

It seemed like the two had a good relationship, so why did they suddenly become distant?

The system couldn't figure it out, but it didn't dare to ask its host at this moment.

After all, the host is far superior to it in terms of intelligence, and no matter how clever the system is, it can't outsmart the host.

Finally, after much deliberation, and unable to wait for the host to ask Vilan directly, the system couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out everything.

Shen Yao:......

'He hasn't abandoned me, has he? Besides, I have no relation to him whatsoever.'

By what right does Vilan have to control her? They aren't even friends.

'Vilan doesn't like the host?' That shouldn't be the case. It can sense Vilan's emotional changes; they are very obvious fluctuations.

And if Vilan really doesn't like the host, why doesn't he just use memory erasure, like those survivors in the mall who are confused and don't remember anything, pitiful and pathetic.

'He likes it, but compared to what he has to do, that liking is simply insignificant.'

Shen Yao put down the book she was holding and sighed softly.

This really can't be blamed on anyone, because everyone has their own biases. Did Vilan really dislike Shen Yao? Impossible. If she didn't like her, there wouldn't have been so many interactions later on. If she didn't like her, she wouldn't have saved people in the mall, and she certainly wouldn't have failed to erase Shen Yao's memories of the mall.

All these things point to the fact that Wei Lan likes Shen Yao.

Although Vilan liked it, now was not the time to discuss romance. Saint Tiana was not at peace, and whether for his own sake or for the future situation, Vilan had to deal with Saint Tiana's affairs first before he could plan anything else.

Therefore, it is normal for Shen Yao to be abandoned by Wei Lan, and the two of them will not even have any interaction in the short term.

The system was still yelling and asking what to do after listening, while Shen Yao continued to flip through the book in her hand.

What can we do? There's always a way out. Let's take it one step at a time.

slam-la-

As I turned the pages of the book with my palm, the lingering scent of ink remained.

Shen Yao devoted herself entirely to the book until she finished reading it. Only then did she get up to stretch her body and take her clean clothes to the bathroom to wash up.

The days passed by in a repetitive and boring way, but fortunately, Shen Yao had her own things to do.

Since Vilan didn't come looking for her, Shen Yao was happy to be free. Occasionally, the system would come forward to update her on Vilan's situation, ensuring that Shen Yao could find him and confirm his safety.

That's enough!

As the New Year's bells rang, Shen Yao stood by the window, wearing a thick down jacket. In the distance, fireworks were rising into the sky, so beautiful it was almost unbelievable.

Having spent five years in St. Tiana, Shen Yao's features have matured considerably; her chestnut hair has become soft and long, and her skin is fair, translucent, and smooth.

Rumbling--

Firecrackers kept going off, and Shen Yao stood by the window for a long time without moving. Then, the system suddenly cried out, interrupting the thoughts Shen Yao had painstakingly cultivated.

Ok?

"Is that Vilan down there?" the system exclaimed, indicating that it was indeed under a tree not far away.

Under the tree?

Shen Yao looked down through the window, but with her current human vision, she couldn't see anything at all.

The system was frantic, desperately trying to find the live feed for Shen Yao.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao stopped moving, turned around and went back to get a cup of hot drink and continued to stand by the window.

system:……

"Aren't you going downstairs?" How romantic! Who knows, their relationship might take a big leap forward. He's the dream prince of every girl in the school.

'If I don't go down, I can't see the other person from my perspective.' Wouldn't she be completely exposed if she ran down?

System: ...At a time like this, you're still thinking about whether or not to expose yourself. Host, you've really opened my eyes.

The host, whose eyes had been opened, did something even more bizarre. Just when the system thought the host really wouldn't go downstairs, the host suddenly moved.

I put on a thick coat, hurriedly opened the door, and left down the stairs.

what?

Didn't you refuse before? How come you've changed your mind now?

'At first, it was because she was afraid of being exposed, but then I thought about it and realized that I had known all along that he was not human but a vampire. My feelings of affection took over, so of course I had to see him no matter what to satisfy my feelings.'

The system mentally screamed "666!" and firmly believed that whatever the host did was right.

Vilan was still standing under the tree, unsure of what to do. Coming to find someone was an unconscious act, but standing downstairs made him hesitant.

Vilan gave a self-deprecating smile, wondering why he had become so hesitant. He clearly wouldn't have thought this way before; it was quite unlike him now.

Perhaps, this is what love is?

The very things he once despised are now being interfered with by him.

Wei Lan's feelings for Shen Yao weren't as strong as she had imagined, but she would think of her from time to time, no matter what she was doing.

Perhaps his previous life had been too uneventful, without any unexpected events. Shen Yao's appearance was something he hadn't anticipated, so he wasn't really willing to sever this connection.

Not far away, an excessively thin figure appeared in front of the dormitory building. With the superior eyesight of a vampire, Vilan knew that it was Shen Yao.

Tread-tap-

Emerging from behind the tree with light steps, Vilan walked up to Shen Yao, and finally smiled and opened her arms wide, "Junior, Happy New Year."

Shen Yao suddenly lunged forward, like a reckless little deer plunging into Wei Lan's arms, "Senior, Happy New Year."

Suddenly finding himself holding something solid in his arms, Vilan instinctively tightened his embrace to prevent any accidental bumps or knocks.

The two hadn't seen each other for a while, and Wei Lan noticed that Shen Yao's hair had grown much longer. It used to be just above her chest, but now it reached her waist. It felt smooth and soft to the touch, and it was clear that she took very good care of herself.

He recounted in detail what he had done and explained why he hadn't come before.

Part of the reason was that Vilan wanted to give up, but his hesitation was defeated by reason, and his feelings eventually prevailed.

Shen Yao didn't lift her head, burying herself in Wei Lan's arms. "I'm so glad you came, senior."

Whatever the reason, everything from the past is in the past, and now is the beginning of a new life.

Yes, it's the start of a new life.

Neither of them said much, but they both knew that today's meeting was a signal. After hiding for so long, Vilan planned to show Shen Yao what the mysterious vampire world was really like, and also to drag the girl he liked into this vortex of right and wrong.

Is Shen Yao afraid of trouble? If she were afraid of trouble, she wouldn't want to get involved with Wei Lan.

Shen Yao readily accepted, and she even took the initiative to ask about everything related to Wei Lan.

In any case, Vilan was fully aware of his own situation, and St. Tiana School welcomed him with open arms.

Vilan smiled and patted Shen Yao's hair, then leaned close to Shen Yao's ear and softly told her about her childhood.

Like most noble families, and even more so than ordinary noble families in the vampire world, Vilan grew up with an elite education and was meticulous in every way that resembled that of a noble.

"...I was bored and dull on weekdays. The old men in the clan liked to talk about it, but I didn't want to listen, so I came to St. Tiana School from the clan ahead of schedule."

If you calculate the time, he has been here for almost ten years.

Unlike ordinary students, Vilan received one-on-one instruction, and the content taught was different from that in the classroom.

"When will you graduate, senior?" Logically speaking, Vilan should have been able to leave St. Tiana School long ago.

"anytime"

But Vilan didn't want to leave. The Tovil family was in chaos, and it would be very difficult for him to come out again after returning. Having finally found the love of his life, Vilan wanted to indulge himself a little.
