Chapter 871: You Have to Be Slapped When You’re Lazy (1)
Once she had arranged everything, Shen Yanxiao went back to her room to meditate.
Lord Xiu was furious. Ever since she came to Sun Never Sets, she had not trained her battle aura or magic diligently. Even after she undid the fifth seal, her strength did not increase much.
Xiu, who had always followed the Spartan’s way of teachings, whipped the little girl who had slacked off during the journey like a gale.
“Well, it’s not like it’s my fault that there are so many things I need to handle.” Shen Yanxiao sat on the bed with her legs crossed. Even though Xiu’s tone did not have any fluctuations and was still as cold as before, she could somehow tell that a certain Great Master was truly enraged.
“Many?” Xiu’s voice was as cold as ice.
Shen Yanxiao gulped. Well, she had to admit that even though she had many things to do, she spent most of her time goofing around.
It was not her fault!
It had only been a year since she had transmigrated to this world, and she had gone through all sorts of training, challenges, and setbacks. Even if her body was made of steel, she would not be able to withstand such torment for long. The most terrifying aspect of all was her mental exhaustion.
The more she knew, the more she thought. So, a large number of questions quickly piled up in her mind, and in the end, they overwhelmed her.
In any case, she was only fourteen years old in her previous life, and she had already achieved what a forty-year-old could barely have done in this life.
“Isn’t the construction of Sun Never Sets a success?” Shen Yanxiao shrunk her neck. She could not see his cold, handsome face, but she was still afraid.
“This is only a city. So what if you take over the entire Forsaken Land? You will still be merely a lord of the Brilliance Continent.” Xiu’s tone carried a trace of disdain.
“…” Shen Yanxiao wanted to cry. G.o.d knew how many people envied her as a city lord. If someone could unite the entire Forsaken Land, they would definitely be able to dominate the Brilliance Continent. However, Xiu made her brilliant achievements into… no…
Shen Yanxiao wanted to scratch the wall in anger. She felt that even if she were to unite the entire Brilliance Continent, a certain Great Master would still think that it was a piece of cake and that she was neglecting her proper duties.
“I just wanted to build my own military base.” Shen Yanxiao knew that she had provoked a lot of people. So, in order to ensure that her family would have nothing to worry about, she decided to recruit soldiers to train in Sun Never Sets.
“Military?” Xiu’s voice rose.
“You call the collective strength of those ants a military?”
“…” Shen Yanxiao was speechless. Xiu’s tone was filled with extreme contempt. She did not doubt that Xiu would despise her eighteen generations of ancestors if she were to nod.
“I think I can teach them slowly…” Shen Yanxiao lowered her head and shook her fingers. Why would she always turn into a timid quail when she was with Xiu?
That did not make any sense!
“You will?”
“No.”
“Then how are you going to teach them?”
“Du Lang…”
“He is a mercenary.”
“My fifth uncle…”
“He trains his guards.”
“…” Shen Yanxiao decided to shut her mouth. Her poisonous tongue had automatically gone on strike in front of Xiu.
If she did not break the silence, she would suffer in silence. Shen Yanxiao felt like she was going to die.
Just as she was ashamed of herself, Xiu suddenly said,
“I can train them for you.”
“!!!” Shen Yanxiao was instantly revived!
