Chapter 790: Returning to Sun Never Sets (2)
Azure Dragon descended in front of the city gates while everyone looked up towards the gorgeous city walls with a dazed expression.
“The city wall looks really… new.” Shen Ling could not help but walk to the walls and touch it. The cold and smooth sensation had surprised him, and as he wiped his hand across the wall, he was shocked that there was not the slightest hint of dust.
The engineering skills of the Devil race was too heaven-defying. Were the walls also capable of self-cleaning?
The five beasts speechlessly looked up at the skies as they tried to hold back their laughter.
They had to keep a low-profile. They must not laugh or else they would be beaten into a pulp by Shen Yanxiao.
Even Shen Yanxiao’s eyes carried traces of a smile.
“Grandfather, let’s go in.”
Shen Feng nodded as he looked at the incomparably solid city walls with reluctance.
Just as they entered the city, thousands of people stood on both sides of the wide, s.p.a.cious road as they welcomed their arrival.
“City lord, welcome back!”
Thousands of voices sounded at the same time. Their clenched fists were held against their left chests as they bowed respectfully to welcome the return of their city lord.
Within the clean and tidy city, the thunderous cheers had stunned Shen Feng and his group.
New buildings were erected inside the city, with thousands of people lined up to greet them while fresh petals covered the clean, wide road.
“This is Sun Never Sets? Xiaoxiao, you’ve truly finished building the city?” Shen Feng looked at everything before him in disbelief. He previously believed that Shen Yanxiao’s words were merely to rea.s.sure him. He had never thought that his granddaughter could actually build an entire city in a mere span of half a year.
This wasn’t a joke. It was simply a miracle!
“Yep.” Shen Yanxiao smiled. The reason why she did not explain was because she believed that after they saw the state of the city, they would naturally understand what she said was true.
Shen Feng looked at the scene before him in shock.
He had always known that his granddaughter was very capable, but her current accomplishment was out of his expectations! She was not trying to placate him, but instead she had really accomplished such feats!
“Xiaoxiao, you’ve really given us a huge surprise.” Shen Ling looked at Shen Yanxiao excitedly.
She shyly smiled in response.
“Sister!” Lan Fengli walked out from the crowd. Regardless of Shen Feng and his group’s surprised gaze, he lunged forward and hugged Shen Yanxiao.
“You’re back at last.” Lan Fengli buried his head in her embrace and only relaxed after breathing in Shen Yanxiao’s scent.
During the past few days when Shen Yanxiao was absent, he was troubled with sleepless nights and had no appet.i.te. He constantly felt that something in his life was missing.
“I’m back.” Shen Yanxiao rubbed his head. Lan Fengli had grown taller during the past half a year so he was taller than her by half a head.
Genetic differences were the most irritating thing ever.
“Xiaoxiao, this is?” Shen Feng stared at the handsome young man with a puzzled look. Lan Fengli calling her ‘sister’ had caused him a great deal of confus.e.m.e.nt.
He remembered that his son had only given birth to a granddaughter, so where did this little boy come from?
When Lan Fengli heard Shen Feng’s question, he nervously loosened his grip. Some traces of shyness could be seen on his clean face as he stood behind Shen Yanxiao in embarra.s.sment.
When Vermilion Bird returned several days ago, he mentioned that his sister’s grandfather and uncle would be arriving in a few days’ time, so he had been constantly worried for the past few days. What if they did not like him?
