The others in the cave smiled as they noticed what the little Phoenix did.
However, no one noticed the trace of a naughty grin that flashed past Shen Yanxiao’s eyes. She patted the little Phoenix on the Vermilion Bird’s head and whispered in a voice only audible to herself, “I didn’t raise you for nothing.”
As a matter of fact, Shen Yanxiao had planned to use the little Phoenix as bait to trick the two big Phoenixes into going with her!
While the Forsaken Land was dangerous, with the Vermilion Bird’s protection, nothing harmful would ever happen to the little Phoenix.
She had gone there to give the little Phoenix back to the couple with hopes to lure them into her plan.
The little Phoenix relied on the Vermilion Bird, so it would be hard for the Phoenix couple to separate them. Since Shen Yanxiao had stated that she would have to go to the Forsaken Land, the two Phoenixes would have to go with her, whether for the sake of their child or to pay a debt of gratitude!
Shen Yanxiao’s plan was flawless.
She aimed at the two Phoenixes’ Achilles’ heel to lure them into her traps.
They had done that voluntarily!
The two Phoenixes would never know that Shen Yanxiao had tricked them, and they were even happy to do it!
Therefore, the little Phoenix was there to deceive its parents!
Shen Yanxiao’s confidence boosted with the cooperation of the two Phoenixes. She had three mythical beasts on her team. No one would be able to defeat her in the Brilliance Continent, let alone building a city in the Forsaken Land.
!!..
Shen Yanxiao told the Phoenixes that she would leave in seven days and wait for her outside the city gate.
After a short period of separation from the Vermilion Bird, the little Phoenix did not want to be a step away from its friend.
When they left the Lava Valley with the little Phoenix, Shen Yanxiao felt her heart danced.
Finally, as he looked at the smug smile on his master’s face, Vermilion Bird realized what had happened.
“You were planning to bamboozle the Phoenixes into going to the Forsaken Land with you, right?”
Shen Yanxiao shook one finger.
“They did not get bamboozled. It was a plan.” Wait a minute. Where did Vermilion Bird learn the word, bamboozled?
The Vermilion Bird snorted and looked at his master in contempt.
“Audacious, too audacious.” Not only had she tricked the little Phoenix, but she had tricked its parents too. Only his shameless master could conjure something like that.
Shen Yanxiao shrugged. She took Vermilion Bird’s contempt as a compliment.
She patted Vermilion Bird’s shoulders and said, “Cut the crap and let’s hurry back. I still have many things to attend to.”
Shen Yanxiao had many things to prepare to build a city in the Forsaken Land. There were many demons there, so she must get everything ready.
Food, herbs, tools, clothes, and medicines were the most precious items in the Forsaken Land.
Gold coins had no value there.
Therefore, ever since she went back to the capital, Shen Yanxiao had been making preparations.
At the end of the day, the item she needed most was… money!
Money had never been a problem for Shen Yanxiao. Everything that could be solved with money was not a problem for her.
