The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss

Chapter 498: The Fourth Layer of Seal (3)

Few people could empathize with Shen Yanxiao at that moment.

Shen Yanxiao had been in an enclosed environment, so she had no idea how many days and nights had passed. She swallowed so many medicinal herbs that she lost track of the number. She had forgotten about time as she went through innumerable trials and hardships. Finally, she could feel the sun again.

Before she could wipe away her bitter tears, she noticed something off about the Graveyard of the Sun.

When the magical array teleported her to the main hall, the Graveyard of the Sun was a desolate place with rubbles everywhere.

However, the rubbles seemed charred, a clear indication that someone had set fire on them. She looked around and noticed that all the rocks around the entire Graveyard of the Sun were in similar condition.

Before Shen Yanxiao could conclude her findings, she heard the Vermilion Bird through their spiritual link.

“You are back! You are back! It is you!” The Vermilion Bird’s voice carried thrill and… fury.

Shen Yanxiao had abandoned her mythical beast without a word and vanished without a trace. He could not contact her at all. She imagined that the arrogant little bird must have gone ballistic during that period.

As a matter of fact…

She did not want to go. She wanted to stay…

“Well, I am back.” Thousands of words were condensed into the simplest reply.

“How dare you come back!!!” Even if it were only the spiritual link, the Vermilion Bird’s indignation was evident.

If it were not for the fact that the Vermilion Bird was not with her then, Shen Yanxiao supposed that the proud little bird would have burned her into ashes.

“It’s a long story. Where are you? I have got the flower. We can go now.” Shen Yanxiao felt that she was not at fault; she was not in control of what had happened.

Vermilion Bird was speechless.

“Well, I am sorry. I didn’t mean it. It won’t happen again.” Shen Yanxiao felt Vermilion Bird’s anger. Even though she did not choose to do that, it was still partly her fault. No master should leave the Vermilion Bird in the Graveyard of the Sun.

That was the first time that Shen Yanxiao had apologized to the Vermilion Bird.

She knew why the Vermilion Bird was furious. The link between a magical beast and the master was a permanent one. Only the death of one party could have led to something that devastating.

The Vermilion Bird’s anger stemmed from his fear for her life and safety.

“Hmm! I will not forgive you so easily! Never!” The Vermilion Bird snorted and mumbled, but he did not feel the same.

“But, since you are so sincere, I will not make a fuss about it.”

Shen Yanxiao chuckled. The Vermilion Bird was a textbook example of how one’s bark was worse than one’s bite.

“I am enjoying a little show here. Do you want to watch?” The Vermilion Bird suddenly proposed.

A… show?!

Shen Yanxiao was speechless. The Vermilion Bird was a mythical beast, was it appropriate for it to be so nosy?

“Where?” Shen Yanxiao sighed to herself. She decided to get that gossipy little bird before she had to hurry back to the Saint Laurent Academy.

She prayed that the inter-academy tournament had not started yet!

“The village that we passed by on our way here. Hurry up! You will miss the finale if you are late.” Vermilion Bird urged her.

That village?

Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows. She drank a bottle of speed potion and dashed toward the entrance to the Graveyard of the Sun.

Soon, she made her way back to that odd village. The scene that she saw had stunned her.

That once quiet and simple village was beyond all recognition!
