“What did you say?” Shen Feng didn’t catch it when Shen Yanxiao mumbled to herself. He was confused about what she was mumbling under her breath.
Shen Yanxiao shook her head.
“Nothing.” For people living on the Brilliance Continent, demons were their eternal enemies. If she were to tell Shen Feng that she was raising tens of thousands of demons like pets, Shen Feng would immediately pass out right in front of her, given how weak he was at the moment.
But, Shen Feng was still not convinced that she had made Sun Never Sets a safe place. However, she could not reveal the whole truth as it was too controversial and shocking.
This was turning into such an intricate situation just because she couldn’t come clean.
“Grandpa, just come with me. I will not rest easy if you stay in the capital. I will never forgive myself if something happens to you when the Broken Star Palace comes and I cannot help you in time. You are worried about me, but I’m worried about you. I will not be able to stay calm in Sun Never Sets if I am unable to ensure your safety.” Shen Yanxiao decided to go with her trump card!
“Grandpa, will you please?” Shen Yanxiao blinked her watery eyes and used her soft, sweet voice to charm Shen Feng. She even pulled a corner of Shen Feng’s clothes with her delicate hands and shook them.
Some all-powerful girl was forced to act cute and girly and play rogue.
Her moral principles and dignity were thrown to the back of her head.
Shen Feng could not help but break into a laugh. It was rare that Shen Yanxiao would act girly. This girl had always been stable and mature. To see her playing cute like a girl of her age should, felt nice.
“…” Vermilion Bird, who had come in with his master, was stunned still by his master’s shameless act. With eyes open and mouth ajar, Vermilion Bird blankly stared at this cute girl.
His master was able to wield both the pen and the gun, to kill people, and to act cute…
Do the citizens in Sun Never Sets know you can be this shameless?
Shen Ling stepped in at this moment. When he saw Shen Yanxiao playing all adorable, he was visibly stunned as well.
As he remembered, Shen Yanxiao had always been acting more mature than her age. But this sight in front of him, she was behaving like a normal kid. However, this “normal” state was more unacceptable to him.
“What are you doing?” Shen Ling’s mouth twitched.
Shen Feng told him Shen Yanxiao’s proposal.
Shen Ling replied, “I, for one, think Xiaoxiao’s proposal reasonable. If we stay in the capital, the Broken Star Palace will definitely retaliate. When Xiaoxiao is away, we will not be able to save the Vermilion Bird Family anymore. If we go to the Forsaken Land with Xiaoxiao, there is still a chance that the Vermilion Bird Family can still exist. As for burdening her…” Before Shen Ling could finish, he noticed that Shen Yanxiao was staring at him with twinkling eyes.
She was trying to pressure him into siding with her!
Anyway, this girl that would always act as an elder was being adorable all of a sudden. He could not bear this sight.
She had a beauty that overthrew states and cities. Her cuteness could convince anyone!
“Well… some other guards and I have almost recovered fully. We can at least protect you if we cannot help Xiaoxiao. I say we accept her offer just so that she will not have to worry about us.” Shen Ling placed his hands over his chest. He was a loner without children of his own and he never liked other kids in the Vermilion Bird Family.
The only kid he ever found agreeable to him was Shen Yanxiao. The lovely Shen Yanxiao made him feel…
