74 Shi Linglong Really Is a Troublemaker

The Flower Fairy didn’t know what Su Wan was thinking, but she felt that there was something wrong with the way Su Wan looked at her. The Flower Fairy couldn’t understand what was happening.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan came to the rescue to smooth things over and to remind Su Wan of their true purpose.

Su Wan calmed herself. She led Shi Linglong and the Flower Fairy to the Dark Castle as guests.

“Wanwan, is this your castle? Wow! Your territory is developing really fast!” said Shi Linglong enviously. “If I upgrade my Territory Core to Level 2, the Territory Hall will become a towering treehouse, but it will consume a lot of resources.”

Shi Linglong compared everything to her own territory. At present, Shi Linglong’s Territory Core was still far from reaching Level 2. It was developing slowly. Even if she upgraded it to Level 2, the towering treehouses would take a lot of her resources.

“I discussed it with Xu Yuan. We are thinking of expanding our territory to the underground. Maybe we can build a vast underground city!” said Su Wan excitedly.

The plan was proposed by Xu Yuan after the Soul Altar incident. After communicating with each other, Su Wan felt that the plan was very reasonable, so she agreed with him.

Su Wan decided to put a stop to the territory expansion momentarily. In the future, they would be expanding it to the underground to develop an underground city.

“An underground city? Wow! Wanwan, you are indeed very ambitious,” said Shi Linglong. “I really want to see how it develops.”

Shi Linglong was stunned. Su Wan’s course of planning would require a lot of workforce and resources. The number of resources and the number of populations needed to achieve something like that made Shi Linglong feel overwhelmed.

On the contrary, Su Wan wasn’t worried. In terms of workforce, thousands of Skeleton Soldiers were idle. They could be directed into building the underground city.

For the resources, Su Wan encountered powerful enemies occasionally. She could obtain various resources as rewards. So, she was fine on that front.

When Su Wan revealed future territory planning to Shi Linglong and showed her around, Xu Yuan quietly reminded Su Wan about the developments outside.

“There is a situation at hand,” said Xu Yuan. “A group of enemies is sneaking around the territory!”

Su Wan’s expression turned complicated. It was confirmed! Shi Linglong was indeed a troublemaker. No matter where she went, she attracted some trouble or another.

Su Wan had already made plans to convince Shi Linglong to stay in her territory for a few days so that her troublemaking abilities would attract enemies. However, she had not expected it to work so fast!

Shi Linglong had only recently arrived in her territory as a guest, and she had already drawn the enemy’s attention. Su Wan led Shi Linglong into the Dark Castle, gave her some food and drinks, and told her to explore.

While Shi Linglong was busy exploring the castle, Su Wan sneaked away with Xu Yuan to observe the enemies outside.

“Xu Yuan, are you sure it was Shi Linglong who attracted the enemies here?” asked Su Wan. She wasn’t sure about it.

Xu Yuan shook his head. “I don’t know,” he said. “But we can find out. We only have to catch a few troops and interrogate them.”

Very quickly, Xu Yuan led Su Wan to a small hill. From this vantage point, they could see a group of creatures hiding behind the dense pack of trees and peering at Su Wan’s territory.

“Taurens? How did we even offend them?” asked Su Wan. “These aren’t natives. These are another Lord’s troops!”

Su Wan discovered that these Taurens were wearing similar armor. The Overlords who governed the Taurens were powerful. They had even generated blacksmiths to create weapons and armor for their Tauren troops!

Su Wan frowned. She knew that the enemy could not be underestimated. “Our territory has only just begun developing. We don’t have decent weapons and armor.”

Su Wan and Xu Yuan exchanged a glance. He then flapped his wings and disappeared into the shadows.

In the distance, a Tauren, who was monitoring the city walls from a distance, suddenly fell into the shadows and disappeared. The shadows near Su Wan surged and the Tauren fell out of it.

“Who are you?” asked Su Wan. “Why are you here?”

The bull-headed Tauren wanted to appear tough, but he was cowering in fear because of Xu Yuan’s intimidating aura.

Su Wan took advantage of this. “What is your purpose here? Why are you monitoring my territory?” she asked.

It was only then that the bull-headed Tauren realized that Su Wan was the Lord of this territory. They had been discovered!

The Tauren appeared conflicted. He couldn’t decide his next course of action. Xu Yuan appeared at this moment. The blue flame on his tail flickered and surged, burning the flowers under his feet.

“Have you heard of soul obliteration?” asked Xu Yuan. “Once you are burned by my flames, your soul will be annihilated. Your Lord won’t be able to resurrect you.”

The Tauren bowed his head and trembled in fear. “I will tell you everything!”

There was an advantage to being a Lord’s troop. No matter how many times they died, they could be resurrected. They would never really remain dead. The Lord could always use resources to resurrect them. This was the reason the troops were loyal and unyielding even when they were defeated in a fight.

However, facing Xu Yuan was dangerous. He had the ability to completely obliterate them. The Taurens felt helpless.

“We are only following our Lord’s orders,” said the Tauren. “We followed a girl and reached here.”

The bull-headed Tauren confirmed their suspicion. The enemy had followed Shi Linglong to Su Wan’s territory.

“Shi Linglong really is a troublemaker, isn’t she?” said Su Wan.

Su Wan was quiet for a long time after that. She didn’t know what else to say. Xu Yuan was also gazing in the direction of the Dark Castle with some interest. Coincidences only stretched so far. If something kept occurring repeatedly, it wasn’t a coincidence but a fact.

Shi Linglong must have some kind of special ability because of which things always happened around her.

“Tell me your Lord’s plan,” said Su Wan firmly.

The Tauren nodded and told her everything he knew. It turned out that troops like Taurens weren’t given much information. He only knew that the troop was ordered to follow and kill Shi Linglong because two Overlords wanted her dead.

However, he revealed critical information.
