Shen Yanxiao was from the Longxuan Empire back then, but the Emperor made things difficult for her because of her identity as a Warlock. Not only did he hand over the Sun Never Sets, a city that was the most difficult to handle, but he also cut off all assistance from the Longxuan Empire. All of this was a huge mistake.
If the Emperor did not treat Shen Yanxiao so harshly back then, then Shen Yanxiao would have never left the Longxuan Empire.
"Alas, I am getting old." After realizing that he had failed to recognize such a promising young lady, the Emperor could not help but sigh.
…
Shen Yanxiao and Lan Fengli left the capital but not the Longxuan Empire.
Xiu gathered around Shen Yanxiao, and so did Taotie. As they hurried along, Taotie happily ate the meat buns Shen Yanxiao had bought for him from the capital.
Shen Yanxiao hired a carriage. After the Yazi transformed, it assumed the role of a carriage driver.
