When Vermillion Bird, who was standing behind Shen Yanxiao, heard Li Qi asked something which was already known, he very wanted to go forward and double slap his face very much!
Is this fellow stupid or stupid, or stupid? [Raz-P: so he has no choice, huh. XD]
Didn’t you just hear my master introduce herself? You’re still asking?!
Has your head been flooded with water?
Shen Yanxiao put on a good-natured smile, “Exactly.”
Li Qi harrumphed and said, “I am the special envoy, Li Qi. This is his Highness, Prince Long Yue. This is the country’s State Preceptor, Pei Yuan.”
When Shen Yanxiao heard his introductions, her eyebrow raised. Just what is that old fogy of an Emperor actually thinking in the end? It’s not enough to send a special envoy. He actually stuffed his own son and the State Preceptor as well? On the surface, however, Shen Yanxiao still had a smile on her face, “Greetings to His Royal Highness and the State Preceptor.”
Pei Yuan slightly nodded, displaying a master’s temperament.
It was Long Yue, this prince, who was the one unable to remove his gaze from Shen Yanxiao’s face the moment she appeared.
Long Yue bragged about living in the palace, and the beauties he had seen in his home, if not a thousand then at least eight hundred. Yet, he had never seen someone as beautiful as Shen Yanxiao.
For some time he looked a little foolish.
“Shen Yanxiao, since you know that the special envoy has come, why did you not send people to greet us at once and let us stand here and wait instead!” Seeing the people before him, Li Qi’s face was immediately pulled down. Although Shen Yanxiao was from the Vermillion Bird Clan, the Vermillion Bird Clan was not a family of officials. Although Li Qi had some scruples, he also knew that His Majesty, the Emperor, disliked Shen Yanxiao. He naturally would not put Shen Yanxiao in his eyes as well.
The other person was just an ignorant child. It was also not wrong for him to establish his might before her.
According to Li Qi, upon arriving at The Rising Sun City, Shen Yanxiao had to bring people to line up to welcome them. However, she did not arrange anything. It was clear that they did not regard them as anything!
“Oh, it was thoughtless of me.” Shen Yanxiao’s temper was extraordinarily good today. Vermillion Bird thought that it was already time for Shen Yanxiao to throw away her surface, but unexpectedly, she was still smiling and speaking with good tone.
Vermillion Bird doubted whether this fellow were still his master.
When did my master become so good-tempered?
“Oh, thoughtless? Well, this is not the only thing you had been thoughtless about. Let me ask you, are the city walls of The Rising Sun City made of obsidian?” After seeing The Rising Sun city walls, Li Qi had kept thinking about it. The area of The Rising Sun City was by no means small. The obsidian spent on the city walls was definitely a terrible amount.
“Yes.” Shen Yanxiao nodded.
“You dared to personally use obsidian to build walls?” Li Qi angrily said and continued, “You should have known that the resources in the eastern region of this Barren Land belong to His Majesty, the Emperor. You must first inform His Majesty and get his permission before using the resources here. But instead of doing so, you secretly wasted so much obsidian to build the city walls. Do you know how much of Long Xuan Empire’s resources you’ve wasted?!”
Li Qi was filled with righteous indignation. He was bitter and hateful, as if Shen Yanxiao’s loosely squandering behavior was extremely unbearable.
There was still a smile on Shen Yanxiao’s face as she looked at the unceasing anger of Li Qi. But although the corners of her mouth were raised, her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
When the mercenaries who were eavesdropping on top of the wall heard Li Qi’s accusations, they could not believe that there were such unreasonable people in this world.
What do you mean the resources of the eastern region of the Barren Land are Long Xuan Empire’s? What do you mean we must inform and get permission first before using the resources?
Is this fellow a monkey invited to amuse people?
Without their City Lord, could the Long Xuan Empire reclaim the resources in the Barren Land? What a joke! Forget about mining these resources, they would probably be eaten by the demons as soon as they entered the Barren Land!
