Chapter 1583: Cooperation (3)
Duan Hen looked at Shen Yanxiao. This was a gamble. If he won, he would walk towards the heights of his life. If he lost, his life would be in danger.
“I promise you.” In the end, Duan Hen chose to gamble.
Shen Yanxiao smiled. She knew that Duan Hen was never someone who was willing to accept the current situation. He was an ambitious person and if used well, he would become a sharp sword in her hands.
“From now on, Twilight City will no longer expand into the Forsaken Land. I will keep your identity as the City Lord of Twilight City for the time being. When you ascend to the highest position in the Seventh Kingdom, Twilight City will belong to me.”
“As you wish!” Duan Hen suddenly stood up and knelt on one knee in front of Shen Yanxiao. He was willing to swear his loyalty to Shen Yanxiao. For the sake of his honor, for the sake of his father’s death, he was willing to sell everything.
“After three months, the seven elders of the Seventh Kingdom will pass away. The Emperor of the Seven Kingdoms will be gravely ill and all the demons lurking in the Seventh Kingdom will riot. How you deal with them will depend on your skills. Don’t let down my expectations of you.” Shen Yanxiao would never mistreat her own people. Since he had pledged her loyalty, she would pave the way for Duan Hen to ascend the throne. Whether he had the ability to win the hearts of the people and ascend to the peak would depend on his strength.
“I will not disappoint you, Lord!” Duan Hen said with determination.
He would not give up any opportunity he had!
“Very well. Remember, you only have three years. If you do not ascend the throne in three years, I will kill you.” Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes. She gave Duan Hen a chance and provided him with conditions. But if he was still useless, then she would not be as kind any longer.
“Yes!” Duan Hen knelt on the ground and answered with determination.
“Your life and your future are in your hands. I will wait for the day when you claim the throne in three years.” Shen Yanxiao stood up. She had said all that she wanted to say. She had no reason to stay.
Duan Hen watched Shen Yanxiao leave. He only stood up slowly when he could no longer see her back. The flames of desire could be seen burning in his eyes.
In three years, he would change his life!
…
Shen Yanxiao did not go to Blizzard City, nor did she tell Long Fei anything else. Long Fei’s relationship with her was not like Duan Hen’s, where only benefits were involved. She believed in Long Fei’s personality, and she was unwilling to impose such strict conditions on this righteous brother of hers.
After she dealt with Duan Hen, Shen Yanxiao summoned Vermilion Bird and flew towards Sun Never Sets.
Sun Never Sets was bustling with activity.
After two major wars, the city walls of Sun Never Sets had been fully repaired after a month. The wounded had been taken care of by the Herbalists and Doctors. Sun Never Sets had finally recovered its former lively state.
When Shen Yanxiao returned, Qi Xia was having a headache as he looked at the hundreds of carriages parked outside the mansion.
Seeing that Shen Yanxiao had returned, Qi Xia forced a smile and said. “You’ve fished up quite a lot of things during this trip.”
The carriages parked outside the City Lord’s Mansion were hung with chess pieces from the four countries. There was only one coachman without a carriage, and the carriages were filled with all sorts of rare treasures.
“The God Wind Alliance and the Seventh Kingdom also sent someone to deliver these treasures?” Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows. She had yet to go to these two places to ‘collect debts’, but they were rather self-aware.
“That’s right. It’s not any less than the Blue Moon Dynasty and the Longxuan Empire.” Qi Xia looked at the list in his hands and his beautiful eyes narrowed into a crescent moon. His foxy nature was on full display..
