Chapter 847: Beaten Up until You’re Convinced (4)
The surrender of Oriental City meant that Shen Yanxiao’s plan to expand her territory had officially begun. Since Qiao Chu was familiar with the demons in the city, she had no intention of bringing him back to Sun Never Sets to train him. However, since he had only behaved after they had fought, Shen Yanxiao would not allow him to do as he pleased. She would transfer half of the demons from Oriental City to Sun Never Sets, and then she would send over a thousand demons from Sun Never Sets to live in Oriental City. She would also send Jia Lan and Jia He to oversee the city. Even if Qiao Chu wanted to do something, he would have to think about it carefully.
However, demons were simple-minded, so Shen Yanxiao did not have to worry about that. The only thing she had to worry about was for the demons in Oriental City to gradually familiarize themselves with humans and to no longer treat them as food. The demons from Sun Never Sets were very experienced in that aspect, enough to subtly influence the demons in the city.
Even though the Jia brothers were no match for Qiao Chu in a one-on-one fight, their combined strength was still pretty impressive.
Shen Yanxiao had given them a lot of power, so they could beat him up if he did not behave himself.
Since she had conquered Oriental City, Shen Yanxiao decided to send Su He and Yin Jiuchen to the Scar of Oblivion to purchase slaves.
After all, the size of Oriental City could not compare to Sun Never Sets. Therefore, Shen Yanxiao only allowed them to purchase 1500 slaves, with 500 of them being women.
Now, it was time to rebuild the new city. Once all four cities were reclaimed by her, Shen Yanxiao would buy a large number of female slaves and revoke their slave status so that they could live happily like any other ordinary person.
Su He and Yin Jiuchen were more familiar with the Scar of Oblivion than Shen Yanxiao. And soon, they returned in less than half a month.
Just like the first batch of slaves, the slaves had looks of despair and numbness on their faces.
Shen Yanxiao was not stupid enough to immediately ask them to build Oriental City. Instead, she sent a thousand of them to Sun Never Sets.
After she resolved those issues, Shen Yanxiao decided to send Pei Yuan and Long Yue back to the Longxuan Empire. Pei Yuan no longer had his previous prejudice, and he was very polite to Shen Yanxiao. When he realized that Shen Yanxiao was finally willing to let them go, the old man finally came back to his senses.
Shen Yanxiao never intended to use Prince Long Yue to threaten the Emperor in the first place. She only wanted to protect Sun Never Sets.
The arrogant Pei Yuan admired Shen Yanxiao’s achievements during his stay in Sun Never Sets. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that a fourteen-year-old girl could shoulder such a huge responsibility.
Long Yue was somewhat reluctant to leave. He could not bear to part with the citizens of Sun Never Sets, those stupid demons, and even…
Long Yue clenched his fist as he looked at the petite figure at the city gates. He remembered his promise that he would keep in the future.
Pei Yuan and Long Yue’s departure did not bring any changes to Sun Never Sets. The only ones who felt sorry for them were the advanced-ranked demons who were familiar with Long Yue. They thought that the human kid was quite adorable, as he was not a thick-skinned person. He would turn red with embarrassment after a few teasing words.
It was rare to see such shy emotions among demons.
When everyone was ready, Shen Yanxiao sent the men to Oriental City as per her previous plan. She also tasked Su He and Yin Jiuchen to take care of the new batch of men.
With the previous slaves as their role model, the group’s ability to accept their new situation had improved.
Everything went according to Shen Yanxiao’s plan.
