Qjan Yuan’s departure was delayed for a day and Shen Yanxiao had been making arrangements for the Forsaken Land.

When night fell, Shen Yanxiao stood before the city gates and looked in the direction of the Seventh Kingdom.

“Xiao Feng.”

“Ithas been ten days. It’s too late to go back and forth.” Qi Xia stood by Shen Yanxiao’s side. He knew who she was waiting for.

However, even if Vermilion Bird flew at top speed for ten days, it would only be enough time for him to make a round trip. However, Lan Fengli had to sneak into the Elders Council to kill seven Elders, and the Elders Council of the Seventh Kingdom was the most heavily guarded place in the entire

country.

“If Xiao Feng does not make it back in time, I will tell him that you have waited for him for a long time.”

Shen Yanxiao looked into the distance.

“No, he will definitely come back.”

Lan Fengli had never failed to accomplish what he promised her. Even though she knew that the deadline was practically impossible to meet, Shen Yanxiao still trusted him.

Night fell and the lights in Sun Never Sets gradually dimmed. The lights in the residential rooms were extinguished one by one, and everyone entered their dreams.

Qi Xia wanted to accompany Shen Yanxiao for a while, but she declined.

There was no trace of moonlight in the gray night sky.

The Forsaken Land was pitch-black.

Minutes and seconds passed. The night shrouded the earth and a trace of dawn blossomed on the horizon. The Forsaken Land at dawn was covered with a layer of faint light. Shen Yanxiao stood alone on the city wall for an entire day and night.

In another two to three hours, when day arrived, she would set off with the dragons to the Dragon Continent.

“Xiao Feng,” Shen Yanxiao clenched her fist, as if she was fighting for the last bit of time in this world.

A ball of fiery red light suddenly flickered on the horizon and flew towards Sun Never Sets at an astonishing speed.

Shen Yanxiao’s heart skipped a beat.

The ball of fire got closer and closer, and the small light gradually extended into a huge flame.

Vermilion Bird dashed toward the city gates as fast as he could. Lan Fengli, who was lying on his back, looked up at the figure standing on the city wall.

In the blink of an eye, Vermilion Bird arrived at Sun Never Sets. Lan Fengli quickly jumped down from Vermilion Bird’s back and landed in front of Shen Yanxiao.

“Sister, I’ve made it back.” After taking a breather, Lan Fengli stared at Shen Yanxiao with excitement in his eyes.

Ten days and nights without any sleep or rest, he and Vermilion Bird did not rest at all on the way back and forth from Sun Never Sets to the Seventh Kingdom. Finally, he made it back in time.

“You’ve worked hard.” Shen Yanxiao smiled and opened her arms to embrace Lan Fengli.

“T’s not hard.” Lan Fengli hugged Shen Yanxiao and felt the familiar aura on her. No matter when or where, as long as he could sense her presence, his heart would calm down.

Vermilion Bird transformed into his human form in mid-air and slowly landed on the ground. He quietly stood on one side and gave Shen Yanxiao and Lan Fengli the space they needed.

The time they spent together was always so short. When the sun rose, Shen Yanxiao had no choice but to leave the Sun Never Sets she created and set off with Qian Yuan and the other three dragons.

Shen Yanxiao, Vermilion Bird, Taotie and Yang Xi sat on Qian Yuan’s back. They turned to look at the dense crowd standing on the city wall.

“We will be back,” Yang Xi whispered.

“We will be back.” Shen Yanxiao smiled and gave the order to set off..
