The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady

Chapter 2271 – Superior Sacred Tools (2)

“Xiu! I did it! I did it!” Shen Yanxiao hugged the sacred tool on her hand with excitement she had never felt before.

Xiu’s figure slowly appeared by Shen Yanxiao’s side; he could feel how truly happy Shen Yanxiao was right now.

In order to find a way to create a superior sacred tool, she had studied alchemy books day and night, tried alchemy countless times; still, under the blow of countless failures, she did not give up, but got more determined instead.

Her obsession was not for her own sake, but to enable all races to use superior sacred tools and increase their fighting capacity, so that they could survive the forthcoming decisive battle.

If Shen Yanxiao were not a Demon Lord or a representative of the Radiance Continent, she might be able to live a carefree life like an ordinary little girl, do what she liked every day, and be happy and relaxed. She would not have to run around everywhere for the future of all the major races in the world, would not have to busy herself for the survival of tens of thousands of creatures.

But what she chose was an extremely difficult road. She was no longer shouldering only the life and death of a city, a country, a continent, or a race. On her thin shoulders, she was carrying the life and death of several races. All this forced her to move forward; she had to seize every second of every minute to make the last effort.

No one knew better than Xiu about all the hard work of Shen Yanxiao. From the initial self-improvement to the present responsibility, this seemingly fragile little girl had taken on too much. She had never been carefree, not for one day; there was never a minute to really relax. She was like a bowstring that had been pulled to the limit. All the time, she had been pushing her limits. She had fallen ill countless times, she had almost died countless times, and she had been exhausted countless times. Nevertheless, she never gave up the responsibilities that she shouldn’t have.

As a god, Xiu realized from the moment he was born that the God Race existed to maintain peace and stability in the world.

But with the destruction of the God Race, the guardians of the world had quietly fallen.

Now, the heavy responsibility fell to a little fellow who was not really an adult yet; Xiu thought it a very sad and ridiculous thing.

Xiu was silent. He reached out to hold the excited little fellow in his arms.

She never said she was tired, but Xiu knew she really was.

No one would be happy to live such a tense life; no one would not desire to live a carefree and happy life.

The same was true of Shen Yanxiao. It was not that she didn’t want to, but that she couldn’t.

She knew that once she stopped, even one day, it could lead to the disappearance of tens of thousands of lives on the battlefield in the future.

“You’ve done well, very well.” Xiu tightly held Shen Yanxiao in his arms. What she was doing now was a thing that none of the original gods had been able to do.

It was true that those of the God Race were the guardians of the world, but the gods were proud and confident. They had undertaken everything with their own strength, and simply never thought of increasing the combat strength of the other races in the alliance. This was why the battle between gods and devils in the past was so devastating.

But Shen Yanxiao was different; she wanted all the races in the alliance to be strong, not just the human race.
