Chapter 873: You Have to Be Slapped When You’re Lazy (3)

She would not even be surprised if Xiu were to do something like that.

“No Vermilion Bird.”

“Vermilion Bird is not coming?” Shen Yanxiao was stunned for a moment. Even though she had left Vermilion Bird with Shen Feng to take care of him, she had never thought of leaving her mythical beast behind!

“With it there with you, do you think you will be able to train?” Xiu was well aware of how protective Vermilion Bird was of Shen Yanxiao. With the Vermilion Bird’s current strength, he could challenge all the demons in the Forsaken Land. So, if she brought Vermilion Bird with them, Shen Yanxiao would not be going out to train, but to travel.

“In that case, I will have to discuss it with him.” Shen Yanxiao sighed. She could already predict Vermilion Bird’s expression once he heard the news.

“But if you leave Sun Never Sets, won’t you be unable to absorb dark elements?”

“Have you forgotten about the Black Crystal Stone?”

Shen Yanxiao immediately understood what Xiu meant. She should bring the black crystal with her so that Xiu could temporarily absorb the dark elements from it.

After she made up her mind to train in the outside world, Shen Yanxiao immediately started to make arrangements.

When everyone in Sun Never Sets knew that Shen Yanxiao would be away for her training, they were all dumbstruck.

It would be fine if she just threw all the responsibilities to them while she goofed around.

But what angered them was that Shen Yanxiao was preparing to go out alone without anyone!

For a moment, the entire Sun Never Sets was in an uproar.

“You… You said that you would never abandon me again!” Vermilion Bird looked at Shen Yanxiao with tears in his eyes as he pointed at the ‘heartless man’ who was about to ‘abandon’ him again!

Lan Fengli looked disappointed. He stretched out his hand and quietly pulled on Shen Yanxiao’s sleeves. His facial expression looked as if he was saying, ‘I am obedient. Take me with you. I don’t want to leave my sister…’

“Oriental City has only just begun its construction. Is it appropriate for you to leave?” Du Lang stood before Shen Yanxiao with a pile of letters from Oriental City in his arms.

“I’m not young anymore. I can’t handle any more responsibilities.” Uncle Nine deliberately ma.s.saged his back, pretending that he was overwhelmed from work.

“It’s not right to go solo.” Qi Xia crossed his arms and looked at her calmly.

“You need to share the fun.” Tang Nazhi forced a straight face.

“It’s not safe for you to be alone outside.” Yan Yu looked worried.

“Taking several people with you is better than going alone.” Yang Xi touched his chin as he wondered if they should pack up and follow the little girl out of the city.

“I think they have a point.” Li Xiaowei, in a low tone, agreed with the others.

Shen Yanxiao could not bear to look at the five beasts as they lectured her in unison. Did they discuss this beforehand?

Shen Yanxiao suddenly felt the pressure when she heard everyone’s objections and protests.

She did not doubt that these people would tie her up and carry her back to the mansion as a mascot if she were to leave.

Due to public pressure, Shen Yanxiao decided not to go out for the time being.

Before anyone could react, she dashed back into her room.

When they saw that Shen Yanxiao had given up on the idea, they finally relaxed.

However, the next morning, everyone was stunned when they saw the empty bedroom.

‘F*ck! You ran away without permission!’

Do you even have the moral principles of a city lord?
