The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss

Chapter 996: Twilight City (14)

“Back then, which of the three countries did not devote a large amount of resources to reclaim an ordinary city in the Forsaken Land? But, Shen Yanxiao is only from the Vermilion Bird Family of the Longxuan Empire. Even if the Vermilion Bird Family were to exert all their efforts, I’m afraid they would not be stronger than the three of us. Moreover, there were only about a hundred people that Shen Yanxiao brought into the Forsaken Land that day. It was simply a fantasy story for a hundred over people to reclaim a main city in half a year’s time. If she did not use those unscrupulous methods, how could she accomplish it in such a short time?” Geng Di sneered. Sun Never Sets had become a legend in the Forsaken Land, and the fact that they had managed to reclaim it in half a year caused the three city lords to lose face.

Even if Geng Di was beaten to death, he would never believe that Shen Yanxiao had relied on her own abilities.

“They had only a hundred or so people, but the number of advanced-ranked demons in Sun Never Sets was definitely greater. Even if they have three heads and six arms, I’m afraid they can’t eliminate all the demons inside,” Geng Di said.

Long Fei took a deep breath. Shen Yanxiao had built Sun Never Sets at an astonishing speed. Other cities in the Forsaken Land had differing opinions about this matter. However, Long Fei did not believe that Shen Yanxiao would be so despicable as to detain a prince and a state teacher to threaten the Emperor.

In fact, Shen Yanxiao did detain a prince and a state teacher, but threatening the Emperor? What a joke. There was not a single stone in Sun Never Sets that was contributed by the Emperor. Every brick and tile in Sun Never Sets was personally built by her.

“Rumor has it, there are eight mythical beasts in Sun Never Sets. With their help, it would not be impossible. City Lord Geng, haven’t you met them before?” Long Xueyao suddenly spoke. Not only did her sharp words provide Shen Yanxiao with a suitable reason, but she also gave Geng Di a tight slap with regards to how the eight mythical beasts had scared him off in the past.

Geng Di’s face turned pale.

The eight mythical beasts surrounding Fantasy Devil City had always been part of Geng Di’s dark past. A large part of the reason for his hatred for Shen Yanxiao was also due to this.

“It’s only eight mythical beasts. What can they accomplish?” Geng Di gritted his teeth and retorted.

“Oh? City Lord Geng doesn’t even care about the eight mythical beasts. This is really surprising. I wonder what kind of strength can convince City Lord Geng?” Long Xueyao retaliated impolitely. Long Fei’s temper was mild, but she was unyielding and would not allow others to say anything bad about her benefactor.

Shen Yanxiao’s personality was admirable, and she could not do those dirty things. Even if she did, Long Xueyao would support her to the end.

“You!” Geng Di choked on Long Xueyao’s words and glared at her with a pale face.

Long Fei sighed internally. His daughter was still as straightforward as ever, but he agreed with her decision.

They were mercenaries, not hypocrites that would feign civility. If they did not even react when their savior was being insulted, then they were worse than pigs and dogs.

Just as Geng Di was being choked by Long Xueyao’s words, the young man who had been sitting beside him slowly said, “This young lady seems to admire Shen Yanxiao? I wonder if you know her true personality.”

Long Xueyao frowned and looked at the handsome young man.

“Shen Yanxiao’s nature is sinister and crafty. Back then, she was merely a disgrace to the Vermilion Bird Family and was not highly regarded. After she was sent to the Saint Laurent Academy’s Herbalist Division by Shen Feng, not only did she not concentrate on her herbalism studies, she even learned some unorthodox methods and became a Warlock,” the young man said unhurriedly.
