Duan Hen looked at Shen Yanxiao. This was a gamble. If he won, he would reach the commanding heights of his life. If he lost, he would be afraid of losing his life.
"I promise you." Duan Hen finally chose to place a bet.
Shen Yanxiao smiled slightly. She knew that Duan Hen was never a guy who was content with the status quo. He was an ambitious man. If used properly, he would become a sharp sword in her hand.
"From now on, Twilight City will no longer expand into the desolate land. I will temporarily retain your identity as the city lord of Twilight City. When you ascend to the highest position of power in the Seventh Level Kingdom, Twilight City will belong to me."
"As you wish!" Duan Hen suddenly stood up and knelt on one knee in front of Shen Yanxiao. He would swear allegiance to Shen Yanxiao. For his own glory and revenge for killing his father, he was willing to sell everything.
"After three months, the seven elders of the Seven Kingdoms will pass away, the emperor of the Seven Kingdoms will be seriously ill, and all the lurking demons in the Seven Kingdoms will riot. How to deal with it depends on your skill. Don't let me live up to my expectations of you. ." Shen Yanxiao will never treat her own people badly. Now that she has sworn allegiance, she will pave the way for Duan Hen to ascend to the throne. In the end, whether he has the ability to win the hearts of the people and reach the top depends on his own strength.
"I will definitely not disappoint the lord!" Duan Hen said decisively.
He won't give up any opportunity he gets!
"Very good, remember, you only have three years. If you don't ascend the throne after three years, I will kill you." Shen Yanxiao squinted her eyes. She gave Duan Hen a chance and also provided him with conditions. But if he is still that useless, then she won't stay anymore.
"Yes!" Duan Hen responded firmly while kneeling on the ground.
"Your life and your future are in your own hands. I'm waiting for the day when you become king in three years." Shen Yanxiao stood up. She had finished speaking. She had no reason to stay.
Watching Shen Yanxiao leave, Duan Hen slowly stood up until he could no longer see his back. His eyes were burning with the flame of desire.
In three years, he will change his life!
…
Shen Yanxiao did not go to Blizzard City, nor did she talk more to Long Fei. The relationship between Long Fei and her was not like that of Duan Hen. It was only about interests. She believed in Long Fei's character and was unwilling to impose negative things on her. In this upright sworn brother.
After finishing Duan Hen, Shen Yanxiao summoned Suzaku and flew to the place where the sun never sets.
The sun never sets, and there is a lively scene.
After two wars, one month later, the city walls of Sunset have been fully renovated, and the injured have all recovered under the care of pharmacists and doctors. Sunset has finally returned to its former lively scene.
When Shen Yanxiao returned, Qi Xia was having a headache facing the hundreds of carriages parked at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Seeing Shen Yanxiao coming back, Qi Xia smiled bitterly and said, "You did bring back a lot of things during your trip."
The carriage parked outside the gate of the city lord's palace was hung with chess pieces from the four countries. There was only one driver without the carriage. The compartment of the carriage was filled with all kinds of rare treasures.
"The Kamikaze Alliance and the Seventh Level Kingdom also sent people to send things?" Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows. She hadn't gone to these two places to "demand payment" yet, but they were very conscious of it.
"No, it's no less than those of Lan Yue Dynasty and Long Xuan Empire." Qi Xia looked at the list in his hand, his beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and his true nature as a fox was fully revealed.
