The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss - Chapter 685

Chapter 685: Is It Fine to be Tsundere Like This? (4)

Xiu was there for everything that happened to Shen Yanxiao. Xiu had no comments about the friends around her acting eccentrically. Humans always had a variety of reasons for their behaviors. Those people had no significance to Xiu.

However, the oddness of such behaviors had upset a certain girl’s mind.

Xiu gazed at the endless heart’s lake. He squinted his golden eyes.

“I believe the day will be here soon.”

His whispers were baffling.

When Shen Yanxiao woke from her cultivation, it was the afternoon of the next day. She had not been eaten for a long time but she did not feel hungry.

Yet, patting her empty belly, she still decided to get herself some food.

She stepped out from the city lord’s mansion, but failed to see Vermilion Bird and Little Phoenix. When she stood outside the mansion, doubt filled her eyes.

It was as if the large city had become unoccupied overnight. She could not see anyone whether it was on the city wall or on the streets.

It was in the afternoon. Theoretically speaking, construction workers should be still running about doing their job. Where did everyone go?

Everything was strange. Shen Yanxiao tried to contact Vermilion Bird but received no response. This was different from when she was at the Graveyard of the Sun. She could tell that her spiritual connection with the Vermilion Bird was not cut off. It was just that Vermilion Bird did not reply.

How come after one night, even Vermilion Bird had betrayed her!

Shen Yanxiao roamed randomly in Sun Never Sets, searching every inch of the city, but she could see no one.

“What has happened?” Shen Yanxiao’s mind was unsettled. Overnight, everyone in the city had disappeared, leaving behind an empty city and a confused her.

Could it be that last night, the three forces had launched a secret strike?

Shen Yanxiao was frightened. That was the most plausible explanation she could think of.

However, there was no sign of a struggle anywhere, nor was there any blood on the ground. She could not even smell a hint of blood.

“Where did everyone go?”

Shen Yanxiao frowned.

“Xiu, can you tell me where everyone is?” Shen Yanxiao clenched her fists. She had to turn to Xiu.

“Underground.” Xiu gave her a hint.

“Underground? They went to Underground City of Demons?” This was a surprise. But Shen Yanxiao never questioned Xiu’s words. She headed toward the entrance of the underground city at once.

As she got close to the underground city, a ray of brilliant light suddenly flashed before her eyes.

Shen Yanxiao lifted her hand to shield herself from the glare. The next second, her hand was grabbed by a warm hand.

“Keep your eyes closed for now.” Shen Yanxiao heard Qi Xia’s magnetic voice. Before Shen Yanxiao could react, Qi Xia had covered up her eyes with his hand.

“Qi Xia, what are you doing?” Shen Yanxiao frowned.

“Come with me.” Qi Xia chuckled. He grabbed Shen Yanxiao’s soft, delicate hands and stepped forward.

Shen Yanxiao’s eyes were covered by Qi Xia’s hand. She could not see anything, so she just gave up and obediently followed him.

After some time, when Shen Yanxiao felt she had walked across the entire underground city, Qi Xia finally stopped.

“Okay now.”

“What?” Shen Yanxiao was filled with confusion.

When the hand over her eyes slowly moved away, Shen Yanxiao opened her eyes, still puzzled.

She was completely mesmerized by what laid in front of her eyes.
