Everything she had been doing until now was to protect herself and to undo the seal. During this whole process, some unexpected events did push her to the teeth of the storm. But, now that she had arrived at this position, she had to be responsible for the responsibilities this position brought. In this world, apart from herself, there were many more families and friends that she cared and felt responsible about. For herself and them, she must eliminate all the possible threats. She wished for a world where nobody would have the courage to point their fingers at them and where the people she cared about could live in this world in liberty and comfort and free from the shackles!
The five beasts said nothing more. The admiration in their eyes was their honest reply to Shen Yanxiao.
Li Qi was imprisoned while Pei Yuan and Long Yue were detained. Their honor guards were completely unaware of what had been happening amongst their superiors. They just roamed about in the city as per usual.
Pei Yuan and Long Yue were detained but Shen Yanxiao did not limit their movements. As long as they stayed in Sun Never Sets, they could roam freely in the city.
The construction of Sun Never Sets was still ongoing. The arrival of the envoy could basically be neglected in the city.
Having gotten rid of the interruptions, Shen Yanxiao recruited more labourers to speed up the city construction. Under her instructions, Pei Yuan told the honor guards that had come with him to participate in the city construction as well.
Su He was uncovering more and more mineral products in the eastern region. Some buildings had already been erected in the city of Sun Never Sets. A real city was slowly coming into being. Given enough time, the city would catch the world’s attention.
Because of Shen Yanxiao’s previous demonstration of her eight mythical beasts, during this time, the other three forces in the Forsaken Land had been behaving themselves. Nobody dared to come and create trouble.
Taking advantage of this peaceful time, Shen Yanxiao spared no resources to build the city.
Several months passed. Shen Yanxiao witnessed with her own eyes how the one worn-out Sun Never Sets gained a new look, being full of high-rise buildings and filled with neat and clean streets. Sun Never Sets finally had taken on the look of a real city.
Shen Yanxiao was filled with joy now that the city construction was about to finish. The only thing that depressed her was that, even though Xiu’s strength had been recovering, he did not reach the stage where he could unlock the next seal for her.
Seven Star Moon Seal, the strength of the seal was increasingly more powerful as the recent few levels were unlocked.
It would take three to five years for Xiu to reach the next level of his strength, unless there was a city full of demons to provide him with enough dark elements to boost his strength.
Shen Yanxiao was upset, so much so that she could not even smile as Sun Never Sets was coming together.
Standing on the city wall of the Sun Never Sets, gazing at the vast land outside, frustration was brewing in her heart.
She was unhappy and depressed. All of a sudden, she noticed something was off in Sun Never Sets during the past couple of days.
The members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group had been acting strangely. They would avoid her looks. Before she could even question them, they would find all kinds of odd excuses and run away.
Stomach pain was the most common excuse. What confused Shen Yanxiao the most was when a middle-aged mercenary said in a panic that his wife was in labor and that he could not chit chat with her. Then, he betook himself to his heels.
Shen Yanxiao was speechless.
This man had followed the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group to the Forsaken Land by himself. All of his family members were in the Longxuan Empire. What made it curious was that Shen Yanxiao clearly remembered before this mercenary entered the Forsaken Land, he was complaining about his misfortune in finding a wife. How come he had a wife all of a sudden and one that was in labor?
Was there some sort of magic at play?
