The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady

Shen Yanxiao's repeated patience was the last resort, but Pei Yuan just had to go and say the matter about the demons. It meant that this matter about Shen Yanxiao and the demons would surely be transmitted to the Emperor's ears. And no matter whether Shen Yanxiao could build The Rising Sun City or not, the Emperor would use the demons as a reason to pursue her fault.

At that time, not only would The Rising Sun City no longer belong to her, she would probably be punished as well.

How could Shen Yanxiao accept this doomed situation?

Since it was impossible to hide it anymore, she might as well be frank and put her cards on the table! At least she did not need to endure any more. What she needed to do now was to make the team of this Special Envoy completely stay in The Rising Sun City!

“The strength of State Preceptor Pei Yuan really made me very surprised. I thought it's enough to just go through the motions this time, but I didn't think you would actually expose this matter. However, since this is already the case, I don’t have to hide it.” Shen Yanxiao spread her hands. She smilingly looked at Li Qi, who was hiding behind Pei Yuan. She said with a leisurely tone:

"Unfortunately, I can't help you eradicate the demons here. Because all the demons in The Rising Sun City are my citizens." Shen Yanxiao pleasantly laughed and slightly raised her chin with absolute arrogance.

"Your citizens? You're treating the demons as citizens? Are you out of your mind? Do you know that these demons eat humans! You crazy bastard! No, that's wrong, you're actually a demon, right? You're a demon who transformed into a human!" Li Qi screamed in horror. Shen Yanxiao looked at him in a way that made him feel like he was a rabbit spotted by a venomous snake.

Shen Yanxiao smiled slightly and looked at Li Qi’s pale face, “Demon? No, I prefer for you to call me the Demon Lord.”

"Anyway, these things are not important anymore. Since you have discovered my secrets, until the construction of The Rising Sun City has been finished, I will trouble you to stay in my city for a while." Shen Yanxiao smiled brightly, just like a harmless lily, but her words were like a poisonous poppy.

“You want us to remain here?” Pei Yuan gripped the wand in his hands. Mentioning that thing was his miscalculation. This little devil really was not simple, just like what he had thought. Her forbearance before and her decisiveness right now really made people admire her.

"Yes." Shen Yanxiao did not hide her intentions.

If they were to return now, she would then be defeated. Only by keeping them in The Rising Sun City could they keep her secrets.

“If you do this, the Emperor will soon find an anomaly. Our group of people took a trip to the Barren Land to do an inspection. If our stay exceeds the deadline, the Emperor will surely harbor doubts. When the time comes, you will certainly die.” Pei Yuan made an effort to stabilized his breathing. Although there was Bai Ze in his hands, he dared not act rashly. He still did not know if the more than two hundred higher demons mentioned by Shen Yanxiao really existed. If they really existed, once he acted unreasonably, he would probably end up in a bitter battle.

Shen Yanxiao said, "The State Preceptor don't have to worry about me. I want to thank you for sending me an absolutely handy and free gold medal. I may have had some concerns before, but with this free gold medal, I think even if the Emperor discovers something unusual, he will not easily touch me."

Shen Yanxiao's voice fell to the ground, and her eyes were directed at Long Yue who had been at the side.

Long Yue had already been frightened silly by everything he had heard. He could only keep being stunned as she looked at Shen Yanxiao with his lips slightly opened.

"The only Prince of Long Xuan Empire and the future Emperor. If there is such a hostage in hand, do you think the Emperor will still dare to use force against me?"

[Raz-P: Well, she had already kidnapped a cub of a powerful beast, it's about time to hostage a Prince, yep.]
