Chapter 621: The Scar of Oblivion (1)

Almost all the demons in the Sun Never Sets had surrendered to Shen Yanxiao. However, Shen Yanxiao was in a gloomy mood as they started to rebuild the city.

It was basically impossible to rely on about 100 people to rebuild the entire Sun Never Sets. If she were somewhere else, she could have spent money to hire some help.

The problem was that the Forsaken Land was infamous; the average people would not have the courage to go there.

Before the others went to the Forsaken Land to rebuild their cities, they would apply for assistance from their respective countries after they had cleaned up all the demons. The countries would then appoint a construction team to go with them.

However, Shen Yanxiao’s case was a special one. In her city, demons wandered around the high streets and back lanes. The construction team, even if they could come, would wet their pants in terror.

Besides, Shen Yanxiao was well-aware that the Emperor of the Longxuan Empire did not like her as she was a warlock. She was from the Vermilion Bird Family, so the Emperor had to give her some face. That said, he would still attempt to obstruct her efforts.

The fact that she was sent to the Sun Never Sets was the perfect proof.

Shen Yanxiao had another option, which was to ask Shen Feng for help.

Yet, that was not her style. She was not a silver-spoon child who would only rely on her family. She would leverage her own powers to rebuild the city.

Due to various reasons, Shen Yanxiao had conquered the Sun Never Sets, but it remained a heap of rubbles.

She felt depressed and unhappy as she sat down on the shattered stone staircase. As she looked at the massive mess in front of her, she felt powerless.

How convenient it would be if, in her previous life, she were an engineer instead of a thief!

She could build skyscrapers from scratch.

That would save her from depression.

After days of hard work as they adjusted to a life of peaceful coexistence with the demons, Du Lang’s mental state improved. He went to the despaired Shen Yanxiao and sat down next to her.

“Truthfully, I am surprised that you’ve managed to gain control of the city this way. I thought that we would not survive it when we make our trip to the Forsaken Land with you.” It was rare that Du Lang would be in such a good mood.

“Am I the kind of person who would lead people to peril?” Shen Yanxiao rolled her eyes at him.

“I was wrong.” Du Lang broke into laughter. For the past few days, Shen Yanxiao had been in low spirits because of the construction problems. He had noticed that. He knew that the genius girl could not do what she would like to do. Finally, Du Lang could see Shen Yanxiao as a mortal human being, instead of a goddess.

“Are you worried that you cannot find the crew to build the city?” Du Lang asked.

Shen Yanxiao nodded lifelessly.

“Usually, people would not be willing to come to the Forsaken Land. Even if I were to send someone to deliver a message to the Longxuan Empire, it would be another three to five months before I would get any response.”

“The emperor does not like you?” Du Lang said.

“What do you think?”

“Forget I asked. Manpower is what you need. With enough people, it will not be a difficult task to build the city. Yesterday, I talked to Uncle Nine. The people he brought with him are self-reliant. They can build houses and do farming work. As long as you can get enough people, Uncle Nine and the villagers can help you rebuild the city.” Du Lang and Uncle Nine were both aware of Shen Yanxiao’s dilemma. Du Lang and Uncle Nine had discussed the matter many times. They could solve every other problem, and the biggest difficulty was manpower!

There were a lot of demons in the Sun Never Sets, and they could follow orders. However, low-level demons had little intelligence. It was not likely that they could help in real construction work.
