Chapter 578: Trio Training (3)
Shen Yanxiao had a pact with that high-level demon Freud. After she had collected all three plants, Freud would work with her. After she received her territorial rights in the Forsaken Land, she would revisit Mount Kuluo and invite Freud to join her. With that high-level demon, she could have someone to rely on when dealing with the other demons in the Forsaken Land.
Shen Feng was worried that she would get hurt when she lost to those demons. However, he was unaware that her ultimate goal was to gather those demons in her city and raise them in pens.
Of course, Shen Yanxiao was afraid to tell Shen Feng such wild plans at that moment. If he were to find out, he would either break her legs and lock her in her room or gather famous doctors from all over the country to cure her!
“Well, Grandfather, I know what I am doing. Why don’t you let me try it? If I can’t handle it, then I will leave the Forsaken Land.” Shen Yanxiao had to take a detour to convince Shen Feng since she could not tell him the truth.
Shen Feng hesitated. Eventually, he had to nod his head because he could no longer bear Shen Yanxiao’s begging.
However, his agreement came with three prerequisites.
First, Shen Yanxiao must send a letter home every month after she entered the Forsaken Land so that he could make sure that she was safe.
Second, if Shen Yanxiao were to fall victim to any harm, even once, she would have to leave the Forsaken Land immediately.
Third, Shen Feng demanded that Shen Yanxiao hire a reliable mercenary group to go to the Forsaken Land with her and forbade her from exploring the place by herself.
Shen Yanxiao had agreed to all his terms.
She understood Shen Feng’s worry, and so she did not want to hurt his feelings. Besides, she had already planned to bring the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group with her to the Forsaken Land. After all, it was not a single person’s job to build up a city. They also knew each other and cooperated well in their previous engagements. Furthermore, she had always admired the seven wolves. Therefore, she had included them in her team almost immediately.
Shen Yanxiao and Shen Feng spent more time talking about the many possibilities of going into the Forsaken Land.
Due to the Inter-academy Tournament, Shen Yanxiao could no longer hide her identity as a warlock. However, Shen Feng told Shen Yanxiao not to reveal her identity as an archer and herbalist unless it was absolutely necessary. Shen Yanxiao was strong at the moment, but the Brilliance Continent had many influential people too. If she were to brag too much about her abilities, some people might want to find trouble with her.
Shen Feng would provide funds and workforce from the Vermillion Bird family for her exploration in the Forsaken Land.
Shen Yanxiao wanted to tell him that money was not a problem. Her return meant that the national treasury of the Longxuan Empire would be ransacked again.
It was already midnight when they finished their conversation.
Shen Yanxiao was starving. Together with Shen Feng, the Vermilion Bird, and Lan Fengli, they sat down at the dinner table and dug into the food.
Shen Ling and the others were informed of Shen Yanxiao’s return. However, at midnight, Shen Ling was the only one who went to the dining room. He had been told by the servants beforehand, so he had accepted that his niece had a new appearance.
As for Shen Yue and Shen Duan, they never showed up.
Shen Siyu, who would appear and disappear in quick succession, was away.
Shen Yanxiao was tired from the long journey, and she was worn out after an afternoon of conversation with Shen Feng.
After dinner, she went back to her room to rest.
As for the Vermilion Bird and Lan Fengli, Shen Feng had helped them to settle down as well.
