Sheng Xiao couldn’t guess what Yu Huang was thinking when she said that.
He was worried that Yu Huang would be jealous.
After Sheng Xiao looked down at Yu Huang and saw her mirthful look, he was stunned and couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you angry?”
Yu Huang bent her index finger and touched Sheng Xiao’s forehead as she said, “I’m proud of you.”
Why should she be angry?
!!Her man was so outstanding. How could she bear to be angry?
After Liuli Luoluo left, Gold Ingot, Di Ruofeng, and the others bid farewell one after another. They planned to return to the Divine Realm Academy. Before they left, Di Ruofeng said to Sheng Lingfeng, “Yufu City and the Divine Realm Academy are the safest places on the Holy Spirit Continent. Prime Master Lingfeng, I hope you can lift the restriction on Yufu City and protect these young children on the continent. Only then can we go to the final battle in peace.”
Sheng Lingfeng and Di Ruofeng had the same thought. He said, “I have the same thought. In addition, the underground refuge in the Divine Realm Continent has already been built. I will get the leaders of the various countries to organize the young children and youths in their territory and send them to the refuge.”
For the past three years, Sheng Lingfeng had not been idle.
Under his supervision, the various countries on the continent temporarily stopped fighting and jointly sent troops to build underground shelters. Because of the limited time, the underground shelters were not built on a large scale. The underground shelters on every continent could only protect a million civilians at most.
Other than children, only the most precious scientific and technological talents of the various countries and the supreme rulers had the right to enter the refuge.
Other than this group of people, the lives of the other civilians and Beast Tamers could only be left to fate.
Before the calamity arrived, Sheng Lingfeng could only protect a portion of people.
In the final battle, it was inevitable that there would be sacrifices.

Sheng Lingfeng was busy and needed Sheng Xiao’s help with many things, so he left with Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Lingfeng was going to the Alliance Headquarters to take charge of the situation while Sheng Xiao was going back to Yufu City to prepare for the migration.
Yu Huang gazed at the silent Eight Towers Mountain. When she thought about how the First Elder and the other Beast Tamers had been devoured by Holy Spirit Goldfeather, a strong sense of hatred arose in her heart.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She would destroy Holy Spirit Goldfeather no matter what!
…
Yufu City was going to become a wartime child protection center, so the Sheng Clan residents living in the city could only move out first.
If the battle ended and they were still alive, they would move back.
These clansmen had lived in Yufu City for their entire lives. Now that they were asked to move out of their homes and hand them over to others, they couldn’t help but feel sad and reluctant.
On the way back to the city, Sheng Xiao was tense.
He knew that it definitely wasn’t easy to organize the migration of the clansmen. He was even prepared to be insulted and attacked by the clansmen. However, when he rushed back to Yufu City, he saw a scene that moved him—
All the Sheng Clan members, be it men, women, old, or young, had packed their precious things. They dragged their suitcases and stood in line in the square outside the city wall. Their children stood on the city wall and cried as they said goodbye to them.
“See you after the war, Dad and Mom!”
“Grandpa, Grandma, see you again after the war!”
“Grandpa, Grandma, see you again after the war!”
They didn’t say goodbye, only that they would see them again after the war.
“See you again” was a phrase filled with hope and anticipation.
The clansmen who were queuing up for the ship to take them away couldn’t help but secretly wipe their tears when they heard the children say goodbye.
Staying in Yufu City was the safest for them. However, for the future of the continent and to let more children survive, they could only endure the pain of being separated from their children and grandchildren and leave their homes with their families and clansmen to live in the temporary migration area.
Sheng Xiao’s eyes teared up when he saw this.
At that moment, someone suddenly saw Sheng Xiao.
“Young Master Sheng!”
When the friendly clansmen saw Sheng Xiao, they raised their hands at him.
Sheng Xiao put away the Dragon Sword and pursed his lips as he walked through the crowded square towards the city wall.
Sheng Xiao was the son of the Patriarch. He was handsome and upright. He was also the number one genius on the continent, so he was the most popular celebrity in Yufu City and was liked and loved by all the people.
In the past, when Sheng Xiao returned to the city, although the residents would smile and greet him, they didn’t dare to touch him.
But today, when Sheng Xiao walked into the crowd, an old granny held his arm.
As Sheng Xiao stared at the old lady’s white hair, he shouted in a low voice, “Granny Luo.” He recognized the old lady. She was the best embroidery master in the city. Every piece she made could be sold for tens of thousands.
Everyone in the city called her Granny Luo.
The old lady held back her tears as she asked him, “Young Master, will we die? Can we still come back?”
Upon hearing the old lady’s question, the other clansmen fell silent.
As Sheng Xiao looked at the old lady, he suddenly thought of Mr. Chen, whom they met at the car shop when they went to investigate the Jade Illusion Continent a few days ago.
That night, Mr. Zhang asked them the same question.
—Will we die?
How did Yu Huang answer him that night?
“When the calamity descends, the Beast Tamers and soldiers will definitely be the people at the forefront. Even if you guys die, we will die before you guys.” Sheng Xiao gave the same answer as Yu Huang.
The old lady was stunned when she heard Sheng Xiao’s answer. Then, she hugged him tightly.
“Young Master, you have to return to Yufu City with us!”
“That’s right, Young Master. You must survive!”
They trapped Sheng Xiao in a tight circle and made him swear to come back alive.
As Sheng Xiao looked up at the young children on the city wall, he thought—
He didn’t dare not to return to Yufu City.
