Chapter 1713 – Sorrow of Parting (5)
The departure time of Qian Yuan was delayed for one day, and Shen Yanxiao made every arrangement for the
Barren Land.
When night fell, Shen Yanxiao stood in front of the gate of The Rising Sun City, looking in the direction of the
Seven Kingdoms.
“Little Feng.”
“Ten days, it’s merely enough to make a round trip.” Qi Xia stood beside Shen Yanxiao. He knew what Shen
Yanxiao was waiting for.
But these ten days, even if Vermillion Bird flew with all his strength, it was just enough to go back and forth, but
Lan Fengli still needed to sneak into the Elders Council to kill the seven Elders, and the Elders Council of the Seven
Kingdoms was the most heavily guarded place in the whole Seven Kingdoms.
“If Little Feng doesn’t have enough time to come back before you leave, I’ll tell him you’ve been waiting for him for
a long time.”
Shen Yanxiao looked at the distance.
“No, he will come back.”
Lan Fengli was never unable to do the things he promised her. Even though she knew that this deadline was almost
impossible to complete, Shen Yanxiao still believed in Lan Fengli.
Night shrouded the earth, the brightness in The Rising Sun City gradually dimmed, the lights in the residents’ rooms
went out one by one, and everyone entered their dreams.
Qi Xia also wanted to accompany Shen Yanxiao for a while, but Shen Yanxiao refused.
There was no trace of moon in the grey night sky of the Barren Land.
The Barren Land before her was very dark.
Time passed by since the night covered the earth. A glimmer of light bloomed the first ray of radiance on the
horizon. The Barren Land in the early morning was covered with a faint brilliance; Shen Yanxiao stood alone at The
Rising Sun City wall for a whole night.
In another two or three hours, when the daytime completely arrived, she would set out with the dragons and go to
the mainland of the dragons.
“Little Feng.” Shen Yanxiao’s hands were slightly clenched, as if she were fighting with the world for her last bit of
time.
A dot of flame suddenly shone on the horizon, which was coming towards The Rising Sun City at an alarming
speed
Shen Yanxiao’s heart suddenly jumped.
The small flame grew closer and closer until the small dot of flame gradually extended into huge flames.
Vermillion Bird rushed to the opened gate of The Rising Sun City at the fastest speed. Lan Fengli on its back raised
his head and looked at the figure standing by the wall.
In the blink of an eye, Vermillion Bird had flown to The Rising Sun City. Lan Fengli immediately jumped off
Vermillion Bird’s back and landed steadily in front of Shen Yanxiao.
“Sister, I’m back.” Slightly catching his breath, Lan Fengli gazed at Shen Yanxiao smoothly, and his calm eyes set
off a trace of excitement at this time.
Ten days and ten nights without any rest, they made the round trip between The Rising Sun City and the Seven
Kingdoms. He and Vermillion Bird did not have time to take even a little break. Finally, they came back in time.
“You have worked hard.” Shen Yanxiao smiled, opened her arms and embraced Lan Fengli.
“It’s not hard.” Lan Fengli hugged back Shen Yanxiao and felt the familiar breath of Shen Yanxiao. Whenever and
wherever, as long as he could feel the presence of Shen Yanxiao, his heart could calm down.
Vermillion Bird changed into a human figure in mid-air and landed slowly. He stood quietly aside, leaving this
moment for Shen Yanxiao and Lan Fengli to spend together.
The time to stay together was always so short. When the sun rose high above the sky, Shen Yanxiao had to leave
The Rising Sun City she created and set out with Qian Yuan and the other two dragons.
Shen Yanxiao, Vermillion Bird, Taotie, and Yang Xi sat on the back of Qian Yuan. They turned to look at the dense
crowd standing on the walls of The Rising Sun City.
“We’ll be back.” Yang Xi said in a low voice.
“We will certainly come back.” Shen Yanxiao smiled and they finally set off.
