She had also seen the locations of the new mining areas. They were a little farther from The Rising Sun City. Not coming back at the usual time was also normal.
“I hope so.” Shen Yanxiao nodded. She let the workers who were building the city walls pay attention to the movements outside the city while she went to look at the periphery.
Her two little tails, Lan Fengli and Yin Jiuchen, naturally followed her. In the periphery of The Rising Sun City, they met Vermillion Bird who was helping to open up a water well. As a magical beast of the fire element, Vermillion Bird himself did not like water, so the water reclamation operation was exceptionally rough.
Often, he would slam down dozens of flame attacks at the same position on the ground and cruelly dig a well.
The small Phoenix was comfortably sitting on Vermillion Bird’s head and lazily squinting its eyes.
“How long do you plan to have me work?” Vermillion Bird shouted with his small mouth as he hovered in midair and watched his unscrupulous master on the way.
He could not understand, why could Lan Fengli, that brat, stay at Shen Yanxiao’s side all day while he, who was her own magical beast, was sent out to work.
“Fine then.” Shen Yanxiao chuckled. It was not that she was abusing Vermillion Bird, but this kind of work could only be done by three Mythological Beasts.
Leaving Lan Fengli around was also a last resort because she had no idea when the memory of this Killing God would return. She was also worried about whether Lan Fengli would start killing people again after recovering his memory.
She did not want a day to come when she would need to fight with this younger brother of hers. So she simply let him follow at her side and conveniently took care of him.
“Humph.” The proud and pampered Vermillion Bird turned his head away and harrumphed.
Uncle Jiu and others at the side had long been accustomed to the relationship of this Mythological Beast and his master. This kind of scene was already too familiar to them.
“Well, you have worked hard. In two days you can have a good rest.” Shen Yanxiao could not help but reveal a smile. This time the three Mythological Beasts put in a lot of effort. First, they had demolished the city’s buildings, and then worked to develop water resources. They had done everything. They had followed Shen Yanxiao’s instructions without any complaints.
Vermillion bird humphed again and continued to work on the task at hand.
He knew that this period of time was crucial to Shen Yanxiao, so he arrogantly acquiesced and did what he ought to do.
Just as Shen Yanxiao patrolled the periphery, a member of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps rushed over on his horse.
“City Lord, there has been an incident over on Su He’s side!”
The smile on Shen Yanxiao’s mouth was frozen in an instant and her brows became crumpled.
“What happened?”
“They were attacked in a mining area outside the city. The damage was not small. Su He is still in a coma. The Head told me to quickly call you back to the city.” The mercenary hurriedly reported.
Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and said, “Vermillion Bird!”
Vermillion understood the meaning of his own master at once and instantly turned into a firebird. He immediately let Shen Yanxiao ride on his back and quickly flew toward the city.
Yin Jiuchen collapsed on the ground completely panicked.
“Big Brother Su…What happened to Big Brother Su?” Yin Jiuchen was panicking as she watched Shen Yanxiao’s back disappeared while riding Vermillion Bird. Her little hands trembled slightly.
Uncle Jiu could not bear to see her so worried, so he stepped forward, patted her on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll go back and have a look.” He told everyone to put their things down and went back to the city.
When Shen Yanxiao returned to the city on Vermillion Bird, he saw a group of people gathering at the gate of The Rising Sun City. She jumped directly from Vermillion Bird’s back and her dexterous body turned over and whirled in the air, landing steadily on the ground.
TEASER
There were still some mining teams that had yet to return and nobody knew if they were safe.
Shen Yanxiao’s complexion was extremely unsightly. She had always been a person who was protective of her people. As long as they were people of The Rising Sun City, she would not allow others to touch them unless she was dead.
“Identity? I don’t care who did it! These three forces should not be thinking they can run away!” Shen Yanxiao’s tone was filled with killing intent.
Shen Yanxiao: GET ALL THE ARMIES OUT. CALL ALL THE HIGHER DEMONS AND TELL THEM TO MOVE THEIR SOLDIERS. WE ARE GOING ON A WAR.
Du Lang: WOMAN CALM DOWN! If you do that then this might cause a war between the four countries!
Shen Yanxiao: DEAD MAN DON’T TELL TALES. As long as no one escape, no one will know what happend!
Du Lang: But them what if they’ll send their entourage to their cities?
Shen Yanxiao: Good point. SOMEONE COME AND ORDER THE HIGHER DEMONS, WHOEVER DESTROY ALL THE HUMAN CITIES HERE EXCEPT FOR THE RISING SUN CITY WILL GET THE CHANCE TO EAT THE DARK ELEMENTS 24/7 AND FOREVER!
Du Lang: That…
Shen Yanxiao: What? They won’t blame us for them being too weak to fight against the demons, now, no?
Du Lang: …Bu-
Shen Yanxiao: GOOD POINT. It is too good for them to end like that. Tell the demons to make sure to spare the leaders and bring them to me! I’ll let them see the fate worse than hell!
