Chapter 614: The City Lord Of Aeropolis City (Part 1)

Duàn Shaoqing felt even more embarrassed.

Dai Xiuying, who was indirectly criticized, also looked displeased.

Amalia smirked slightly. "Alright, let’s go pick the Timberdense Flowers. The Devils who escaped will surely return with reinforcements. If we don’t leave now, we’ll be surrounded again."

"Yes, yes," Duàn Shaoqing quickly agreed, despite his earlier discomfort with Amalia’s bluntness.

He was still very grateful.

The Timberdense Flowers swayed gently under the soft sunlight, emitting a faint floral fragrance.

On the petals, there were crystal-clear droplets of water droplet.

This is a morning dew, not the nectar that was secreted by the Timberdense Flowers.

Duàn Shaoqing and his junior brothers immediately took out white jade bottles and began collecting the Timberdense Flowers and nectar.

Amalia noticed that they didn’t have any small bottles for the nectar, they only had pill bottles.

"If you don’t mind, I still have many jade bottles here," Duàn Shaoqing said, noticing their predicament.

He quickly took out several bottles and handed them to Amalia and Kenny Lin.

"Thank you, these jade bottles are a big help," Amalia said gratefully.

"It’s just a cheap jade bottle," Duàn Shaoqing smiled and continued collecting the Timberdense Flowers.

Although there were only two of them, Amalia and Kenny Lin worked just as quickly as the others.

The nectar was secreted in the flower’s stamen and needed to be collected without damaging the petals.

However, not every flower had necty.

There were over three hundred Timberdense Flowers, but only half of them contained nectar.

The nectar from more than a hundred Timberdense Flowers filled exactly five jade bottles.

Duàn Shaoqing and his group took their share, leaving the rest for Amalia and Kenny Lin.

Although the sight of so many resources being taken made everyone envious, they managed to keep their composure.

"Junior Sister, what are you doing?"

Duàn Shaoqing’s junior brother suddenly spoke while picking the remaining Timberdense Flowers.

Everyone turned their head to follow his gaze and saw Dai Xiuying, who had stopped collecting Timberdense Flowers and started gathering the heads of the fallen Devils.

"I’m collecting spoils," Dai Xiuying explained. Under everyone’s silent scrutiny, she stiffly added, "I noticed they hadn’t collected these yet. Besides, the heads I’m collecting are all from warrior-level Devils. We killed some of them too, and these contribute to our merit points."

"I have a sect mission that only counts the Devils that I personally kill," Amalia said calmly.

Duàn Shaoqing wished he could find a hole to crawl into; no one knew better than he did how few Devils they had actually killed.

Dai Xiuying, unaware of Duàn Shaoqing’s feelings, inwardly scoffed at Amalia’s remark, thinking no one cared about their kills.

She quickly called down another junior brother to help.

"Do I need to help? It seems like we didn’t kill many Devils," the junior brother said innocently, blinking in confusion.

Duàn Shaoqing wanted to cover his face out of sheer embarrassment.

As the senior brother, he couldn’t ignore the situation, so he faced Amalia with a slightly flushed face and said, "I made you laugh again."

Amalia felt some sympathy for him; dealing with a troublesome junior sister was clearly difficult.

Dai Xiuying, refusing to accept the situation, looked around a few more times and realized they had indeed only killed a dozen or so Devils.

She wanted to pretend that a few of the indistinctly wounded Devils were their kills, but it was impossible.

They used swords, while Amalia used a blade, and the fatal injuries on the Devils she killed were very distinct.

She finally understood why everyone had those expressions.

"Sister Amalia, Brother Kenny, we will take our leave now," Duàn Shaoqing said.

Although he wanted to talk more and learn about them, he felt too embarrassed to stay any longer.

"Goodbye," Amalia responded while cupping her hands slightly.

Duàn Shaoqing nodded his head, then hurriedly led his junior brothers and sisters out of the small valley.

In the distance, Dai Xiuying’s voice could still be heard calling after him.

"I’ll gather the Devil’s heads. You pick the remaining Timberdense Flowers," Amalia said.

Determined to complete her mission, she wanted to handle everything personally, leaving no room for Senior Tian to find fault.

As for the leader-level Devil that Kenny Lin had injured, Amalia’s critical strike had ultimately taken its life.

Once they finished, the two of them left the valley.

About half an hour later, the city lord of New Moon City arrived with two hundred subordinates, only to find the empty valley.

The escaped Devils had led the city lord to the place where the Timberdense Flowers grew, but all of them had been harvested.

The numerous Devil corpses on the ground told the tale of the fierce battle that had occurred there.

"My lord..." The Devil who had brought the news was visibly nervous.

With a single palm strike, the city lord of New Moon City obliterated the Devil’s head.

The other leader-level Devils remained silent, their gazes were fixed on the headless corpse of their comrade, Zullmuz.

Zullmuz is the one who discovered a large quantity of Timberdense Flowers and nectar in this valley but failed to report it.

Instead, he colluded with Anuth from Sunshadow City, clearly intending to keep it all for himself.

The other leader-level Devils harbored resentment in their hearts.

An opportunity to enhance their strength had slipped away right before their eyes.

If Zullmuz had informed them, they could have joined forces, and Zullmuz wouldn’t have had to lose his life.

This was the consequence of greed.

"City Lord, those people shouldn’t have gotten far. Let me lead a team to intercept them!"

One of the leader-level Devils volunteered immediately.

"City Lord, I can go too," Another leader-level Devil quickly added.

The city lord of New Moon City stood with his hands behind his back, his face stern as he gazed at the now-barren area where the Timberdense Flowers once grew.

He said in a deep voice, "No need. Someone must stay behind to guard the city. I have received the news that today, Sunshadow City is no longer exists."
