Shen Yanxiao shook her head. According to Duan Hen, even if they wanted to go now, it was already too late.
“Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earthen weir[1]; we’ll prepare for it.”
Within those three days, the people from The Rising Sun City rarely left their residence. The members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps worked hard to restore their strength, and the Phantom members also immersed themselves in closed-door cultivation.
Three days later, Elder Wen invited Shen Yanxiao and Long Fei to distribute the rewards to the winners.
Shen Yanxiao went to the City Lord Residence, taking only Lan Fengli; and The Vermillion Bird, which had returned to her body before going. The other five members of Phantom stayed in the residence to prevent accidents.
This time, Elder Wen did not deliberately make things difficult for Shen Yanxiao.
Long Fei took Long Xueyao along with him. At the entrance of the City Lord Residence, he met Shen Yanxiao and Lan Fengli, and the four people walked inside together.
Inside the City Lord Residence, Duan Hen sat in the main seat while Elder Wen sat at his side. Apart from the two, Luo Fan was also there.
Shen Yanxiao slightly raised her eyebrow at Luo Fan upon seeing him.
Luo Fan looked at her and sneered.
“Shen Yanxiao, I haven’t seen you for a long time.”
Shen Yanxiao faintly replied, “I didn’t think I would see you again.”
Luo Fan hung down his head and smiled, his eyes full of viciousness.
“There are many things in the world you can’t think of.”
“Are there?” Shen Yanxiao chuckled and no longer bothered with Luo Fan.
Elder Wen coldly watched the conflict between Shen Yanxiao and Luo Fan. Calculating the time, he said, “Both of you are guests here. Why must you talk to each other like that? Luo Fan is here this time on behalf of the Magical Fantasy City. It would be better if everyone is friendly.”
Shen Yanxiao smiled and didn’t talk anymore. She just took Lan Fengli to sit down.
The representatives of the four forces had taken their seats and started the discussion.
The other three forces in the Barren Land each prepared a suitably detailed description with regards to their respective resources, which was then submitted to Shen Yanxiao for review and selection.
Blizzard City and The Rising Sun City already had a cooperation prior to this. Shen Yanxiao still chose the resources of medicinal materials, expanding their previous cooperation by some. Long Fei had no objection to this.
When she talked with Luo Fan and Elder Wen, these two guys were unexpectedly easy to speak with. There was not much dissent at all. Even when Shen Yanxiao threw an exorbitant demand, these two men still nodded their heads.
Shen Yanxiao sneered inwardly. She feared that these two people had already estimated that if this time, she really fell into the hands of the Broken Star Palace, this paper contract would just become empty talk.
But……
Since they were willing to cooperate, there was no need to be polite.
Shen Yanxiao directly asked for the metal resources in the western region of the Barren Land and magic stone resources in the south, and the quant.i.ty was quite great.
Elder Wen looked at the quant.i.ty proposed by Shen Yanxiao, and his mouth could not help but slightly twitch. Luo Fan gave Elder Wen a meaningful glance, hinting for him to not be impatient.
Elder Wen took a deep breath and said, “Lord Shen really has good eyes, the place you have selected is a great one.” The metal source that Shen Yanxiao had picked was a large area in the western region. It would seem like there was not much, but the metal output was actually so astonishing. At a glance, one could tell that Shen Yanxiao had long studied it.
“Not at all. I just randomly picked it.” Shen Yanxiao laughed very innocently, not in the least bit having a guilty conscience.
You want to calculate me, fine. I will sc.r.a.pe a big piece of meat out of you.
Elder Wen thought that if Shen Yanxiao could live past tonight, it would be a problem. But he still had to bite the bullet. The contract was signed by Duan Hen. As for the Magical Fantasy City’s contract, it was signed by Luo Fan and stamped with Geng Di’s seal.
