Chapter 864: Uninvited Guests (3)

Killing intent surged in Shen Yanxiao’s eyes, but she did not act on it.

On the other hand, the five beasts, who were there to gossip, were somewhat worried. When Shen Yanxiao received the news, they were there with her.

Their impression of the twins was still stuck on Shen Jiayi’s viciousness during the Inter-academy Tournament.

Shen Yanxiao would never go easy on them.

They knew about what had happened to the Vermilion Bird Family. Based on their understanding of Shen Yanxiao, they knew that the twins were doomed.

However...

Shen Jiayi was the sole descendant of the Vermilion Bird Family. Shen Duan, Shen Yue, and Shen Yifeng were all dead. Shen Siyu was not related to the Vermilion Bird Family by blood, and Shen Ling was still unmarried. Shen Jiawei was the only one who could continue the Vermilion Bird Family’s bloodline.

If Shen Yanxiao were to kill Shen Jiawei, it would mean that the Vermilion Bird Family would have no descendants...

The five beasts broke out in cold sweat.

It seemed cruel to end one’s family line.

Shen Yanxiao did not say anything for a long time. She merely stared at Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei thoughtfully. Qi Xia and the rest of the group could not figure out what Shen Yanxiao had in mind, so they could only look at her.

“You are quite capable. How did you manage to find Sun Never Sets? How did the demons not devour you along the way?” Shen Yanxiao wrinkled her eyebrows. The moment she opened her mouth, she immediately used her poisonous tongue to insta-kill those around her.

Shen Jiawei shivered and looked up at Shen Yanxiao. When he met her ice-cold gaze, he immediately lowered his head and trembled in place.

Shen Jiayi bit her lips and looked at Shen Yanxiao with a complicated expression.

“It’s better if we were eaten. I don’t want to live anymore.” Shen Jiayi had a bitter smile on her dirty face. She did not know if she was mocking Shen Yanxiao or herself.

“We... we didn’t encounter any demons on our way here.” Shen Jiawei pulled on Shen Jiayi’s sleeve as he trembled. He was worried that Shen Yanxiao would be angered by Shen Jiayi’s rude tone.

Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows. It was not that they had not encountered any demons, but that all the demons on the road to the Sun Never Sets would deliberately avoid humans. That was her deterrence.

“What are you doing here?” Shen Yanxiao was not sure if she should kill them or let them go.

On one hand, killing them would align with her principle. But on the other hand, killing them would mean ending the lineage of Shen Feng and the Vermilion Bird Family.

Shen Jiayi wanted to say more, but Shen Jiawei immediately held her hand with a pleading expression. Shen Jiayi gritted her teeth and turned away without another word.

Shen Jiawei turned to Shen Yanxiao and said, “We heard that grandpa and fifth uncle are in Sun Never Sets. We want to see grandpa...”

Shen Yanxiao sneered.

“Meet my grandfather? On what basis? Based on the crazy things that your father has done? Or are you thinking you two are innocent just because you stood by and did nothing?”

Shen Jiawei turned pale.

“We know we were wrong! We know we were wrong. We just want to live our lives in peace and stability. We don’t want to think about anything else. Please... please be magnanimous and let us go to see grandpa.” Shen Jiawei’s voice sounded like he was about to cry. They had nothing left. Their warm family, their loving father, and all of their wealth had become fleeting clouds. They were even worse than beggars.

“Oh?” Shen Yanxiao sneered.” I’m curious. Where did Shen Duan send you? If you answer honestly, I might let you go and meet grandpa.”
