The main road that connected the Longxuan Empire’s border to Sun Never Sets was in the east, and the city was closest to the main road. If they reclaimed it, it would be much more convenient for them to trade in the future.
Shen Yanxiao’s reason for choosing the city was sound, so no one had any objections.
“Right now, Sun Never Sets is officially open to the public. How do you intend to deal with Pei Yuan and Long Yue?” Qi Xia lazily asked. They had detained them because Sun Never Sets had yet to be completed. At that time, they didn’t want to attract any external troubles.
However, Sun Never Sets’ reputation had already spread far and wide. Even if the Emperor of the Longxuan Empire were to find out about them, he would not dare to be too ostentatious.
Sun Never Sets represented the Longxuan Empire in the Forsaken Land. Unless the Emperor was a fool, he would never slap himself in front of the other three countries.
Shen Yanxiao pursed her lips. Pei Yuan and his entourage had stayed in Sun Never Sets for quite some time, and the guards had yet to discover any demons in the city. Only Pei Yuan and Long Yue knew about the presence of demons in the city. But now that they had been smothered with the presence of demons, their initial fear had turned into calmness.
To them, it was now normal to talk, laugh, drink, and eat meat with demons.
Pei Yuan was a smart man. Although he had a sense of righteousness, Shen Yanxiao had managed to twist his prejudice against demons. He reckoned that the old man would not gossip about the demons.
As for Long Yue …
Shen Yanxiao stroked her chin. The little prince was rather adorable. He had not been too pampered during his stay in Sun Never Sets, and he would often help with the construction of the city. He was also quite well-behaved. Furthermore, he was still young, and he was more accepting of demons than Pei Yuan. He had been with a group of advanced-ranked demons for so long that he had already regarded Freud and the rest as big brothers. He had also been convinced by Freud’s domineering presence that he constantly followed behind him all day long, ignoring Pei Yuan’s ashen expression.
“In two days, when all the guests leave, I will send them back.” Right now, there were people from all countries in Sun Never Sets. Pei Yuan and Long Yue’s identities were sensitive, and if they were to leave with those people, they might encounter someone with ill intentions.
Even though she had forcefully detained them, Shen Yanxiao did not hate them, so she had to worry about their safety.
“That works too. Should we wait for them to leave before we reclaim the city?” Qi Xia nodded. Shen Yanxiao was getting better at her job.
“Yes. Su He, tell Jia He and Jia Lan to take a stroll around that city. Find out how many advanced-ranked demons there are and who is in charge. After they are done, tell Jia Lan and the rest to have a talk with that guy.” Shen Yanxiao only cared about advanced-ranked demons. As for the other demons, they were nothing in her yes
There was another reason why Shen Yanxiao wanted to reclaim a new city. There were more and more demons in the underground city, and it might fill up one day. Hence, she had to expand her territory some day. Almost every city in the demon race’s territory had an underground city, making it a good place to breed demons.
Coupled with the fact that the dark stone was originally empty in the underground array had been fully charged; it would be a pity if she did not use it.
Furthermore, she had taken good care of those three plants. At that moment, there were now twelve plants, and now there were more than enough dark elements to feed the demons in her city. She was thinking of feeding the excess dark elements to the demons in her new territory.
The matter of reclaiming a new city had been decided just like that. There were still many guests who had yet to leave. They seemed like they would probably stay there for another three to five days.
