Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 746 Cannon Fodder in a Western Fantasy World (6)

Sometimes, Vilan didn't understand what a young girl like Shen Yao was thinking.

Since the handkerchief was returned, Vilan, out of politeness, decided to invite Shen Yao to dinner.

This wasn't the kind of casual meal Shen Yao would have at the cafeteria; it was an invitation to a particularly high-end and luxurious restaurant.

Shen Yao naturally did not refuse. After getting into Wei Lan's car, she obediently lowered her eyes and looked at her arm. She only spoke occasionally because Wei Lan spoke up; otherwise, she would have thought she was a mute wooden person.

Vilan: ...

hiss

This is not what I imagined. After all, the students at St. Tiana School, especially the female students, have very obvious intentions towards me.

He assumed Shen Yao felt the same way.

Shen Yao's obvious restraint made me wonder if I wasn't charming enough.

The system was hiding in Shen Yao's mind, whispering and gossiping with its host, mainly about the seemingly profound Vilan beside her.

'These young people nowadays, they're so easy to read,' the system analyzed Vilan's thoughts, while also subtly putting down others. 'Host, you must seize this opportunity.'

Shen Yao:......

Has the system never been warned that it is sometimes too noisy?

The system was still chattering away, unaware that the host's soul had already wandered into space, his thoughts drifting to who-knows-where.

Once the car stopped, Vilan got out, smiled slightly at Shen Yao, and extended her hand to her, saying, "We've arrived."

Shen Yao gently placed her hand on Wei Lan's palm and got out of the car with the help of his support.

"Senior, you've gone to so much trouble."

The restaurant they visited had a high average cost per person and was a well-known money pit in Songxue Town.

"It's my honor to treat my junior to a meal."

Vilan raised her eyebrows playfully, her bright eyes like the finest jade, brimming with gentle warmth.

The two stepped into the hotel and, with the warm welcome of the staff, easily made their way to the top floor.

There was a wide view and a pleasant environment, with melodious music playing from time to time. Shen Yao looked around with her beautiful eyes. This was the first time she had set foot here as a guest.

Vilan had already pulled out a table and chairs to the side, gesturing for Shen Yao to sit down.

As an heir raised from childhood to adulthood according to the standards of a noble gentleman, Vilan took meticulous care of Shen Yao out of a sense of social courtesy.

If Shen Yao hadn't failed to see any other emotions in Vilan's warm eyes, she would have been deluding herself into believing that he liked her.

No wonder so many noble ladies are drawn to Vilan's style; who wouldn't love a gentle young master? He's rich, powerful, and incredibly handsome—truly born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Silently muttering to herself, Shen Yao lowered her eyes and looked at the menu that had been brought to her.

Adhering to the principle that whoever is paying should order the food, Shen Yao had no objections to Wei Lan, which made Wei Lan even more embarrassed.

Tu

I should have gone easy on her back then. She was my cousin, after all. It's more heartbreaking to see her now missing than to have her body torn to pieces.

But Lily's remains had already been disposed of completely by Vilan's orders, and like the werewolf's remains, no one could find a trace of them.

The meal was very good. Putting aside Vilan's overly enthusiastic attitude towards her, Shen Yao felt that going out to relax would be more conducive to her studies.

"Goodbye, Senior Vilan."

"See you later, Junior Shen."

After rolling up the car windows, Vilan signaled to the driver in front to start the car.

Shen Yao watched Wei Lan leave, then turned and walked towards the classroom not far away.

There were still students in the classroom, discussing the morning's lessons. As for Shen Yao's absence this morning, well, skipping class at St. Tiana's School is perfectly normal, isn't it? As long as there are no problems during the exam, it's fine.

Although St. Tiana School has strict requirements in every aspect, it is, after all, the backyard of nobles, and everything is based on the preferences of the young noblemen and ladies. However, it will not be lenient in terms of assessment, since the report cards will be sent directly to the parents. St. Tiana School still needs to maintain its public image.

"Shen Yao"

Shen Yao turned around and her gaze met that of the pale-faced girl behind her.

Phil

“These are the class notes from this morning, which I think you need right now,” Phil said. She was a small, black-haired girl who looked more like a doll than Shen Yao.

Phil's home is not in the Kingdom of Falor, and I heard she won't be going back this holiday.

Previously, Phil went back home and returned with a serious expression, saying that it was dangerous outside and her family was very worried about her safety. If nothing unexpected happened, her family would come to see her in advance instead of letting her go back home.

Because Shen Yao and Phil's relationship was only ordinary at that time, Phil spoke somewhat vaguely and did not explicitly mention what the danger factor was.

Right now

"Shen Yao, do you know the legend of werewolves?" His question was tentative, tinged with a hint of caution, but more so with a desire to strike up a conversation with Shen Yao.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao murmured "Oh," and placed her class notes on the table. "Are they werewolves who transform into wolves on the night of the full moon but live in human form on ordinary days?"

Phil nodded in agreement. "That's right, that's right," he said. "However, Shen Yao's statement is still somewhat one-sided. Werewolves don't only transform into wolves on the night of a full moon. They can transform into wolves at any time and hide among humans on ordinary days, making them undetectable. Only those with a good sense of smell can detect them."

After saying that, Phil pursed his lips and continued to remind Shen Yao to stay away from school as much as possible recently.

why?

"I heard that some werewolves got into trouble in St. Tiana, and a lot of werewolves have come to investigate." If you accidentally get caught in the act, you'll suffer the consequences and have no one to complain to.

“Are there really werewolves? I thought it was just a legend,” Shen Yao said with surprise, indicating that the information she had seen came from books, but books are written by people and may contain some bias.

Shen Yao was surprised, her eyes filled with obvious worry and fear.

Phil patiently held Shen Yao's arm and whispered that she didn't know if it was true or not, but many people had been saying the same thing recently, including her family.

“There really are werewolves, we just haven’t seen them.” In fact, there were also non-human beings among their classmates, but because the time they spent together was too short, and there was no deep-seated hatred between them, even werewolves would not reveal themselves for no reason.

Shen Yao nodded, indicating that she would only be moving around in the classroom and dormitory recently and would not go anywhere else.

Upon hearing this, Phil smiled and his eyes crinkled. "Shen Yao, that's wonderful." No one else believed him, but only Shen Yao was willing to believe his words.

“We are friends,” we travel together regularly and occasionally visit each other.

Shaking her class notes on the table, Shen Yao blinked obediently, "I need to finish the morning's lessons. We'll talk tonight."

Phil nodded, then went back to his own business.

The classroom was still quiet, with a breeze carrying a stifling heat.

Shen Yao copied all the contents of her class notes and thanked Phil behind her.

The two got up and left the classroom, going to the cafeteria before returning to their dormitory.

Although the food here is delicious, it is too simple, and Shen Yao doesn't like it very much. She doesn't eat much on weekdays and is currently living off the food she has stored in her space.

The system muttered to itself, saying that Shen Yao's actions were likely to be discovered.

"No way! Haven't you noticed that those noble ladies don't even have as big an appetite as I do?"

This is a conscious control of her food intake. Whether it's for her figure or something else, Shen Yao's current appetite is perfectly fine.

The food on the plate had a burnt aroma, and a layer of seasoning powder was sprinkled on the outside to mask the original taste of the ingredients.

Shen Yao didn't really like the way these people handled ingredients; it was too simple and direct, completely lacking the deliciousness that modern food can offer.

After finishing the food on her plate, Shen Yao got up and put the plate away. Then, she and Phil went back to their host's place to rest.

Almost every day was like this. Shen Yao did not disappoint Phil's reminder. Since being sent back by Vilan, she had not been to Songxue Town once.

Vilan also disappeared from Shen Yao's sight. She would only occasionally hear about Vilan from her classmates, but the two never met again.

Year after year passed quickly, and Shen Yao officially moved up a grade in the warm spring.

Moving from the basic to the intermediate level not only meant a change of classmates, but also a change of dormitories and teaching buildings.

Shen Yao has grown a bit older, and her height and appearance have changed accordingly. The only thing that hasn't changed is the liveliness and crowds at St. Tiana School.

Oh

There are also my cousins ​​who came from afar to study here.

The matter concerning Lily was dropped, and the Kane family officially ceased pursuing it. As for whether to investigate it secretly, that was up to the Kane family to decide.

However, judging from the information sent by the system, the Kane family has not investigated these matters, and it seems that they have already accepted the situation where Lily has disappeared without a trace.

Tut tut

'Host, your two younger cousins ​​seem smarter than your older cousin.'

Perhaps Lily's disappearance frightened them; they, who were usually quite sharp-tongued, are now silent and have nothing to say.

The same butler, Doron, brought them over. Upon seeing Shen Yao, he greeted her with a smile and also brought her a gift from Triss.

"Please thank your grandmother for me."

Shen Yao hadn't been back for three years, and Cui Si's appearance had long since faded from her memory.

call

She greeted the housekeeper, Duolun, with a smile, and then escorted her younger cousins ​​to their dormitories. Just as Lily had treated Shen Yao, Shen Yao was now treating her younger cousins ​​in the same way.

However, Shen Yao's attitude was much better than Lily's, making her a model of repaying evil with kindness.

'Host, we'

Let's go to Songxue Town.

Shen Yao interrupted the system, while simultaneously focusing her gaze on the sky not far away.

The azure sky, devoid of any other color, was crystal clear, and the warm sunlight bathed her, as if gilding her with a golden glow.

Shen Yao opened her eyes again, smiled, and started walking towards Songxue Town.

It's been a long time since I last visited Songxue Town, and it hasn't changed much.

Because it's the start of the school season, the place is bustling with people.

Shen Yao randomly went into a store, bought the daily necessities she wanted, and also browsed the store's new clothes. If she thought they were nice, she bought them.

To be honest, Shen Yao spent money rather arbitrarily, which was related to her huge inheritance. Although some of the inheritance was converted into money by Cui Si because it was immovable, Shen Yao did not suffer a loss overall.

I asked the system if they knew anything about the Kane family's recent situation.

'That's good, there's no trouble over there,' the system stared at its host inexplicably, indicating that Kane and Triss were planning to change their heir because Shen Yao's uncle couldn't handle things, and Kane was worried that the family wouldn't be able to survive after his death.

'However, none of this has anything to do with the host. There are so many people in the Kane family, and the host's father has been gone for a long time.' No matter what you choose, it won't affect the host.

Shen Yao:......

That's not necessarily true; who knows what the future holds for the Kane family?

If she's unlucky and becomes cannon fodder, well, maybe Shen Yao can actually inherit the Kane family's reputation and wealth, since Shen Yao plans to latch onto a powerful figure.

These were just thoughts in her mind; she didn't voice them or discuss them with the system. Shen Yao didn't want to make assumptions beforehand. Kane and Triss had been really good to her, and if possible, she hoped they could escape this calamity and not be caught up in the war, becoming powerless to control their own lives.

He kept carrying more and more things until he could no longer hold any more before he stopped.

Shen Yao was carrying her things and strolling along the streets of Songxue Town when a black car stopped beside her as she turned a corner.

Shen Yao turned to the side and stopped in her tracks.

Then the window of the black sedan slowly slid down, revealing the person sitting inside.

It is Vilan

This was not unexpected for Shen Yao, because the only person who could park and wait for her was Wei Lan.

"Senior Wei Lan"

"Junior Sister Shen Yao"

The car door opened, and Shen Yao bent down to get in, looking at Wei Lan with a clear and honest gaze.

Vilan sat upright in the car seat, holding a notebook in his hands; clearly, he had just been handling some business.

Compared to their initial awkwardness and naivety when they first met, Vilan now appeared much more mature.

Especially her face, which became even more gentle and affectionate, and elegant as she grew up.

The two had just met last week. Shen Yao bumped into Wei Lan on her way to the library, and greeted her with a smile. She was almost mistaken for a love rival by the female classmates who were entangled with Wei Lan.

"Senior Vilan, is something you're busy with?"

Shen Yao glanced at the notebook Wei Lan was holding and cautiously probed.

"The family matters are over now," Vilan said, rubbing his temples and smiling as he inquired about Shen Yao's decision to come for a walk in Songxue Town today.

Shen Yao shrugged. "We've used up most of our daily necessities in the dorm."

She also needed to come out to restock, and besides, this was the least likely time for anything to happen in Songxue Town, so it was perfectly reasonable for Shen Yao to come out.

Vilan smiled and nodded. "There have been a lot of outsiders in Songxue Town lately. If you're not in a hurry, you can wait a little longer."

As for what Vilan was waiting for? Of course, it was the timing of their visit to Songxue Town.

"What does senior know?" Shen Yao tilted her head, her innocent deer meeting his gaze.

Vilan raised the corners of his lips. "Junior, perhaps you've heard of vampires?"
