Chapter 1041 - This Isn’t A Date (1)

“I will prove it.” Duan Hen narrowed his eyes.

“In that case, I’ll take my leave first. I wish you success in the fight tomorrow.” Shen Yanxiao waved her hand. Her trip tonight had indeed brought her quite a pleasant surprise.

Duan Hen was smart and courageous. If he could succeed, he would be a good ally.

Shen Yanxiao gave an ambiguous answer and quietly left the Falling Moon Pond.

Duan Hen looked at the calm pond and secretly clenched his fists.

There was only a single chance, and he would not miss it.

…

On the way back, Shen Yanxiao looked at the pitch-black night sky. Under the cover of dark clouds, there was no starlight in the Forsaken Land.

“Xiu, do you think Duan Hen can succeed?” Shen Yanxiao strolled on the empty street and asked Xiu.

“He is shrewd and courageous. If used well, he can become an ambitious and ruthless character.” Xiu gave a rather good evaluation.

“I think so too. Not to mention why his father, Duan Wuya, had passed away, but just based on the fact that Duan Hen could sign a contract with the Redflame Beast at such a young age, I already feel that he is not a mediocre person. Besides, he knows how to observe my words and expressions. He knows of my ambition for the Forsaken Land. He also knows what can truly move me.” Shen Yanxiao was in a good mood. It was the first time someone had discovered her ultimate goal, and the feeling of meeting her match was not bad.

What she wanted was a country that belonged to her—no restrictions and with no one that could command her. Anyone who wanted to target her would turn into ashes under her fury.

If she wanted to protect herself, to protect her family and friends, she had to become powerful.

“Xiu, why don’t you come out for a walk? Even though the Forsaken Land is barren, it doesn’t feel too bad.” Shen Yanxiao suddenly wanted Xiu to come out for a walk. No one would appear at night in Twilight City, and it was also good for Xiu to come out and take a breather. Shen Yanxiao had subconsciously forgotten that Xiu was still a soul. Due to the fact that she was seeing his physical body so often, she had almost regarded him as a real person.

Xiu did not immediately agree to Shen Yanxiao’s invitation. A moment later, he transformed into a ball of black mist before appearing by her side.

Shen Yanxiao suddenly smiled as she looked at Xiu who was dressed in white robes with his long hair draped over his shoulders.

“Say, if I were to shout in public right now, wouldn’t it wake up the citizens of Twilight City? If they were to see you, would they think that a god has appeared?” Looking at those golden eyes, Shen Yanxiao smiled and said.

The symbol of the God race.

Xiu raised his hand and gently pointed his slender fingers in front of his eyes. His golden eyes turned black in an instant and the dazzling golden gleam slowly faded away. Xiu became more and more like an untainted handsome man as he stood under the oppressive clouds.

“Go ahead.”

“…” Shen Yanxiao pursed her lips. This guy still had no sense of humor.

“Do you think the dark clouds in the Forsaken Land will dissipate one day?” Shen Yanxiao had been away from the sun for a long time. If she were to continue developing her forces in the Forsaken Land, she would not see the sun for many days.

“You want them dispersed?” Xiu glanced at Shen Yanxiao.

Shen Yanxiao nodded. She was not a mushroom that grew in a dark and humid area. Naturally, she wanted to undergo photosynthesis.

Xiu raised his head and looked at the dark clouds that densely covered the sky. He slowly raised his hand and a pure white lotus flower slowly blossomed in his palm. A moment later, the pure white petals scattered on his fingertips before transforming into light shadows that pierced the night sky.
