Chapter 781: Moving the Entire Family (2)
Shen Yanxiao claimed that Sun Never Sets was completed but Shen Feng had his doubts.
Throughout history, the Longxuan Empire had sent out countless elites to open up the frontier. Yet, all of those elites came back in failure.
So, with that in mind, how could Shen Yanxiao have possibly finished building Sun Never Sets after merely half a year?
Besides, Sun Never Sets was one of the five major cities of the Forsaken Land. The amount of work required to finish Sun Never Sets was larger than the amount needed for other cities. Moreover, she would have to face extreme dangers while building it. Just to exterminate the demons in Sun Never Sets would at least take about three to five years.
As for constructing a city…
It would take at least five or six years.
“Xiaoxiao, I understand that you are worried about us but don’t push yourself too hard. You have to face many dangers in the Forsaken Land. But the Vermilion Bird Family cannot be of much help to you even if we go there with you. Rather, we may become your burden.” Shen Feng gently turned down Shen Yanxiao’s proposal. He wanted to save the Vermilion Bird Family but was unwilling to drag Shen Yanxiao down to do so. This girl had enough responsibilities on her shoulder as it was. He could not have his underage granddaughter take care of the entire family.
If he truly pushed all of his responsibility to his granddaughter, he would be too ashamed to meet his ancestors upon death.
“Grandpa, you can never be my burden.” Shen Yanxiao comforted him. “You are well-informed and Uncle Five is a master in managing guards. Uncle Qiu has excellent medical skills. You are the talents that Sun Never Sets needs the most right now. You will be of great help to me, not burdening me one bit. Truthfully, I don’t know how to manage a city. So, grandpa, I am counting on you to give me some advice.”
Shen Yanxiao knew very well what Shen Feng was worried about but he was overthinking it. Just last night, Vermilion Bird told her that thanks to Ye Qing and Yun Qi, Sun Never Sets was finally out of danger. Moreover, the buildings in Sun Never Sets were finally finished. They were now just waiting for her to go back and open up the city and officially declare the completion of the city to the public.
“Alas, that is not my biggest concern. My biggest concern is that we have not recovered our full strength yet. If we run into any advanced-ranked demons, you will have to protect us, and that will distract you.” Shen Feng shook his head helplessly. He was happy that Shen Yanxiao was looking out for him but he had to worry about her safety.
To build a city in the Forsaken Land was a big deal to the Longxuan Empire. If Shen Yanxiao could finish building Sun Never Sets, then this city would be the only one that belonged to the Longxuan Empire in the Forsaken Land, which would be a significant accomplishment.
By then, Sun Never Sets would become Shen Yanxiao’s strongest force, so Shen Feng did not wish to trouble Shen Yanxiao at this critical time.
“Running into advanced-ranked demons is common, but they will never have the courage to attack you.” Shen Yanxiao mumbled to herself. Every single demon in Sun Never Sets were tamed by her. They were loyal to her and would follow her orders to a tee. If she told them to head east, they would never go west. If she told them to build houses, they would never pave roads.
If they were to find out that her grandpa and uncle were coming to Sun Never Sets, the demons would line up to welcome them. The demons would dance and sing to express their kindness and hospitality.
Attack them?
Why? The demons were not tired of living just yet. To bully the family members of their city lord was to invite a death wish.
Even if there were any, the advanced-ranked demons would strangle the unruly demons to death!
The demons that dared to be disrespectful to the person that provided them with a peaceful life must be beaten to death!
Shen Yanxiao’s status in Sun Never Sets was unimaginably high.
To the demons who had been eating humans for a long time, Shen Yanxiao was their G.o.ddess, their muse because she could bring them delicious dark elements.
