Chapter 608 - Sun Never Sets (3)

She would gladly accept all the high-level demons, no matter how many, let alone only a hundred of them!

She was only afraid that she would not have enough!

She tried her hardest to suppress the joy in her heart and keep a calm expression as she turned around to face her team.

She must stay composed enough so that no one would realize that she was happy. She could not let them know about her plan, as she did not want to scare anyone away.

Calm down! Calm down!

Du Lang and the others lamented as they looked at the calm but strangely stiff expression on Shen Yanxiao’s face.

They thought that they were right. Even the genius girl was uncertain about the reconstruction of the Sun Never Sets. What other hopes did they have?

For a moment, everyone on the team wore an anxious look as if the next second, they would all have to sacrifice themselves. They appeared to be in despair.

Shen Yanxiao was surprised to see them in such a low spirit.

She felt she had already hidden her happiness. Why would those people look so down as if they had lost their parents and wore such solemn and stirring expressions?

Should she have done a better job of concealing her joy?

Shen Yanxiao stroked her chin. She did not know that her thoughts and Du Lang and the others’ were worlds apart.

“Well, are we going in now?” Uncle Nine cleared his throat. What was done was done. There was no going back for them.

“Yes, why not?” Shen Yanxiao thought it was an obvious answer.

The others looked even more depressed.

“…” She had not said anything wrong, had she?

“Let’s go! Since we have accepted your mission, we must spare no effort. Thank you, Xiaoxiao, for taking such good care of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group recently and for giving us the huge pay so that our families can live without worrying about food or clothing.” Du Lang took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind. Then, he turned around and said to members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group, “My brothers, the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group has never held back after we take on a mission. Now, let’s head into the city!”

There was something moving and tragic in Du Lang’s tone.

Shen Yanxiao was baffled. Before she could find out what that was about, Uncle Nine and villagers went to her and patted her shoulder solemnly.

“Xiaoxiao, you have our thanks as well. You have offered us freedom and a happy life. You have allowed them to see the beautiful world outside. Thank you.” With that, Uncle Nine led the villagers and followed the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group into the Sun Never Sets.

“…” Something was off. Shen Yanxiao was wholly befuddled by Du Lang and Uncle Nine’s heroic and stirring remarks. When she saw those people step forward with determination and resolution, she had no idea how to react.

Her plan of breeding demons was still a secret, and even if they had found out about it, they did not have to act like they were going to hell, right?

She had not planned to feed them to the demons!

“Sister?” Lan Fengli was puzzled about the situation as well; the word demon was unfamiliar to him.

Shen Yanxiao rubbed her eyes. She had never felt as confused before.

“You have assembled a nice crew.” Freud’s words troubled her, but he smiled at Shen Yanxiao before heading into the Sun Never Sets.

Shen Yanxiao was still perplexed. The team had entered the city. She called for the Vermillion Bird, gathered the two Phoenixes and Lan Fengli, and went after them.
