Chapter 939: Return to Sun Never Sets (5)
Without Long Fei’s support, Gu Feng did not dare to say anything else. No matter how arrogant he was, he did not dare to oppose Long Fei.
Long Fei asked Wu Run to convey to the guards that he had come to pay a visit to Shen Yanxiao.
However…
“Meet our City Lord?” The guard’s expression was odd.
“That’s right. Please inform her of our arrival,” Wu Run said politely.
The few guards looked at each other before one of them quickly went and reported to the city.
Not long later, a handsome young lady arrived at the gates.
The young lady wore a long yellow robe with an elegant smile on her beautiful face. Behind her was a tall, sturdy middle-aged man that gave off an imposing aura.
The moment Gu Feng saw the girl, he swallowed his saliva.
Previously, all the rumors about Shen Yanxiao contained only information about her eccentric temperament and nothing more. Everyone kept saying that she was just someone who did not walk on the right path and stubbornly pursued the Warlock profession in school. Besides that, the only thing known about her was that she was the founder of Sun Never Sets. But unexpectedly, Shen Yanxiao was rather pretty.
Gu Feng secretly sized up the girl in front of him. Unlike Long Xueyao’s delicate appearance, the girl in front of him had an additional sweetness to her, similar to a flower in a greenhouse. Just her presence could cause men to have the urge to protect her.
However, she was just that, attractive. She did not possess any semblance of aura a city lord should have. It seemed like her role in the founding of Sun Never Sets was severely overstated.
Along the way, Gu Feng noticed that the demons in the eastern region were excessively friendly. Moreover, the completion of Sun Never Sets was exceptionally fast. Looking at the ‘Shen Yanxiao’ in front of him, she was delicate, totally lacking in the domineering department. He could not help but think that she was lucky to have obtained such a city.
Gu Feng could not help but look down on her. He thought that Shen Yanxiao relied on luck to build Sun Never Sets. If he instead were the city lord, he was sure that he would have done a better job.
“I believe you must be the City Lord of Sun Never Sets, Shen Yanxiao. I am Wu Run, Deputy Head of the Blizzard Mercenary Group. I am here with my Head to pay a visit to City Lord Shen.” Wu Run promptly stepped forward and introduced himself. After all, they came to ask for a favor so his attitude was rather humble.
However, the young lady was stunned by the assumption. She looked at Wu Run who was bending over and her beautiful face blushed. She smiled and said, “Deputy Head Wu, you must be joking. I am merely a maid by the City Lord’s side, not the City Lord herself.”
“What?” Wu Run was surprised.
The young lady bowed and said, “I am Yin Jiuchen. The City Lord is currently occupied with some tedious affairs so she has asked me to come and welcome you.”
Having recognized the wrong person, Wu Run felt somewhat embarrassed.
“My Head has something to ask of City Lord Shen. I wonder if she can spare some time to meet him.”
Yin Jiuchen smiled and said, “First, please enter the city and rest. I will inform the City Lord in a while.”
Since he had already said so much, Wu Run could not say anything else and informed Long Fei of the wait.
Yin Jiuchen guided the Blizzard Mercenary Group into the city.
The moment they entered the city, the prosperous scene of Sun Never Sets caused the members of the Blizzard Mercenary Group to be dumbstruck. The clean and tidy streets were crowded with shops much like a rowdy marketplace, and there was an endless stream of merchants coming and going. If they did not know that Sun Never Sets was still a wasteland half a year ago, they would have thought that they had accidentally entered a regular city in another country.
Long Fei was also secretly amazed by the internal situation of Sun Never Sets. Shen Yanxiao must have put in a lot of effort to allow merchants to enter the city for business in such a short amount of time.
It had to be known that even in Blizzard City, merchants would require the protection of a large number of mercenaries to enter the city. However, he had seen many caravans entering the city without bringing many guards with them. From this, it could be deduced how safe the roads from the border to Sun Never Sets were.
