The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady
chapter-2496

Long Yue revealed a wry smile. He then took a deep breath, looked at Shen Yanxiao, and said, "Lord, please accept my proposal."

Now, even the emperor agreed to Long Yue's decision, which made the mood of the people present become extremely complicated.

The relationship between the Long Xuan Empire and the Barren Land was the worst. In their view, once the Devil Race attacked, the Long Xuan Empire would definitely become the primary target, because Shen Yanxiao would definitely not send troops to rescue them in the first place. If the four countries were ordered, the Long Xuan Empire, in Shen Yanxiao's mind, absolutely had the lowest status.

However, Long Yue's approach had changed the situation dramatically.

The Long Xuan Empire was directly transferred to the rule of Shen Yanxiao and became a dependency of the Barren Land, which meant that the Long Xuan Empire would no longer follow the surname of Long but would belong to Shen Yanxiao alone!

In this way, Shen Yanxiao would certainly focus on protecting her territory from the devils’ invasion. She would certainly send a large number of troops to the Long Xuan Empire to aid them in the war. As a result, the situation in the other three countries would be very awkward.

The other rulers of the three countries who were still observing the drama completely lost the mood to watch after seeing the approach of the Long Xuan Empire.

The consequence of Shen Yanxiao’s support for the Long Xuan Empire was that the power to aid the other three countries would be reduced, which made them very uneasy.

Although the other three countries were actively preparing for the war, what they relied on most was the fighting strength of the Barren Land. Everyone knew that the current Barren Land was the gathering place of elite humans. It was not only a place of great experts, but also the location of the incomparable demon army. Even if only a part of them would be divided out to support their countries, that would still help in upgrading their fighting strength.

But if Shen Yanxiao sent all the extra troops to the Long Xuan Empire, what would the other three countries do? Could they really resist the devils with just their own military strength?

They did not have such confidence.

At this moment, the representatives of the other three countries all looked very ugly.

They needed Shen Yanxiao's assistance, but they could not give up their country to Shen Yanxiao like the Long Xuan Empire had. At this instant, they could not help but inwardly scold Long Yue for making such a move.

Were you not just as shameless as your father, shoving your belongings onto Shen Yanxiao due to your lack of strength? Wasn't this forcing them to follow suit?

Within the entire hall, there was an unusual silence. Everyone had their own thoughts, struggling to make their own choice in order to give their country more protection.

Before they knew it, the four countries had put the main focus of this fight against the Devil Race on the Barren Land. All they wanted was to seek shelter from Shen Yanxiao.

Shen Yanxiao faintly swept a glance over the crowd in the hall. The people’s uneasy expressions were printed into her eyes one by one. She chuckled and said, "Sorry, Long Yue, I can't accept your proposal."

"What?" Long Yue looked at Shen Yanxiao with disbelief.

Shen Yanxiao's answer was far beyond the expectations of all the people in the hall.

No one expected that Shen Yanxiao would reject Long Yue's proposal and refuse to accept the ownership of the Long Xuan Empire!!!

Was she crazy?

Shen Yanxiao said, "The Long Xuan Empire was established by your ancestors and the ancestors of our five great clans. Although I, Shen Yanxiao, am not a good person, I don’t have the impudence to seize the inheritance of your ancestors. The emperor of the Long Xuan Empire will always be surnamed Long."
