Chapter 999: Twilight City (17)
On the roof of the mansion, Vermilion Bird that was surrounded with raging flames stood out. The domineering and awe-inspiring Qilin mythical beast stood beside Vermilion Bird. The two mythical beasts stepped on the mansion. Their tall figure and dazzling gleam attracted everyone’s attention.
On Vermilion Bird and Qilin’s backs, a gorgeous young lady and a peerlessly handsome young man stood out their own. Their outstanding appearance and temperament were similar to an outstanding showpiece, making it hard to s.h.i.+ft their gaze away.
“Shen Yanxiao,” Long Xueyao looked up at that familiar figure and could not help but whisper.
Elder Wen’s expression darkened. He wanted to embarra.s.s Shen Yanxiao with his actions, but he did not expect Shen Yanxiao to come to the banquet with two mythical beasts, while also stepping on the roof of the mansion so ostentatiously. She was simply displaying her might!
All of them tilted their heads up to look up at Shen Yanxiao. However, Shen Yanxiao looked down on them from above. This show-of-might enraged Elder Wen.
“Lack of etiquette! What a disgrace!” Elder Wen was trembling from anger.
“Elder Wen, please calm down.” Geng Di hastily comforted. When he saw Vermilion Bird and Qilin, he recalled the incident when Shen Yanxiao brought eight mythical beasts to Fantasy Devil City to demonstrate her might. He originally thought that Shen Yanxiao would not dare to cause trouble in Twilight City, but he did not expect that this girl would directly appear with two mythical beasts. Geng Di’s heart was beating like a drum.
Shen Yanxiao’s arrogance meant that she did not take Twilight City seriously.
But this was also good. With her arrogance, Elder Wen would stand on his side even more.
Shen Yanxiao sat on the Vermilion Bird’s back and looked at the group of people outside the City Lord’s Mansion. Other than Long Fei and Long Xueyao, she also discovered an old acquaintance, Luo Fan.
Since Luo Fan was from Blue Moon Dynasty, then the person standing beside him must be the City Lord of Fantasy Devil City, Geng Di.
“Shen Yanxiao, Twilight City was gracious enough to invite you to the banquet today. It is already rude of you to be late for no reason and now, you have even brought a mythical beast with you. You are really impressive!” Geng Di shouted at Shen Yanxiao. The City Lord’s Mansion was surrounded by citizens of Twilight City. Shen Yanxiao’s huge presence had attracted the attention of countless people. Geng Di’s question caused the curious citizens to immediately come to a realization.
So this was the City Lord of Sun Never Sets, Shen Yanxiao, who was famous for her generosity two days ago?
While everyone was amazed at Shen Yanxiao’s beauty, they were also dissatisfied with her due to Geng Di’s words.
This was their Twilight City, not Sun Never Sets. They were clearly here as guests. It was bad enough that they were late, but who were they trying to impress? Weren’t they just bullying their Twilight City?
Geng Di’s instigation pushed Shen Yanxiao to the edge of the storm in an instant.
Shen Yanxiao sneered. Geng Di was more annoying than she remembered.
She came late for no reason?
The City Lord of Twilight City probably knew why she was late.
“Thank you, City Lord Duan, for your kind intentions. However, I have been unwell for the past few days and am unable to partic.i.p.ate in tonight’s banquet. Therefore, I have come here personally to inform you. Forgive me for my weak physique, but I shall return and rest first. Please enjoy tonight’s banquet slowly. I shall take my leave.” Shen Yanxiao did not even touch the ground as she directly spoke to the people below.
It’s just a small banquet. I’m not willing to partic.i.p.ate!
Without waiting for a response, Shen Yanxiao summoned Qi Xia, and the both of them rode on the mythical beast and left under everyone’s gaze.
