Chapter 741: Completely Delegating Authority to the Vice City Lord! Freeing Liu Mengyun!

Outside the gates of Mount Dajiao Prison.

Liao Yuankai said to Liu Mengyun, "Tell Su Yang that once I've recovered my strength, I'll come challenge him again. Tell him to remember his promise!"

Liu Mengyun said expressionlessly, "The City Lord also told me to pass on to you — don't come crying when your beast gets killed!"

"Hmph!"

Liu Mengyun watched Liao Yuankai's retreating back.

The more she looked, the more certain she became of her own guess.

A challenger with this kind of strength, who could still kill the opponent's beast without a care in the world —

was exactly the kind Su Yang needed!

Elder Fan said helplessly, "Mengyun, don't take it to heart. Liao Yuankai has always thought far too highly of himself!"

"Don't worry, I won't get angry!"

In Liu Mengyun's eyes, Liao Yuankai was nothing more than a pitiful worm being played by Su Yang.

Losing his entire beast lineup once wasn't enough — now he's rushing to deliver a second round!

Xi Yao and Elder Fan led Liao Yuankai and the last hunting squad of the Treasure Pavilion out of the prison.

On the way, they happened to bring up the matter of rebuilding the Treasure Pavilion.

Hearing the topic, Liu Mengyun chimed in at just the right moment: "Actually, there's no need to rebuild the Treasure Pavilion building. The intact building is in City Lord Su's hands."

"..."

When she heard that Su Yang had razed the Treasure Pavilion to the ground, Liao Yuankai cursed Su Yang as a bastard.

"Liao Yuankai, leave us some face!" Elder Fan said sternly. "If you hadn't kept such loose control over the hunting squad, how could things have come to this?"

"Elder Fan, are you speaking up for Su Yang?"

Xi Yao also said, "Senior Liao, the main responsibility this time really does lie with you. Our Treasure Pavilion paid a huge price to rescue you!"

The price was indeed enormous — she had nearly been thrown in as part of the bargain!

If not for Su Yang's magnanimity,

she'd be in serious trouble right now!

Liao Yuankai said speechlessly, "Have you all been fed some kind of bewitching soup by Su Yang? Why is everyone speaking up for him?"

None of the three spoke, and none of their faces looked good.

Xi Yao glanced at Liao Yuankai, feeling all the more that compared to Su Yang, Liao Yuankai fell far too short!

She decided that once she got back, she would definitely tell her grandfather, Elder Xi, about Liao Yuankai's failings.

At the City Lord's residence, Su Yang saw Liu Mengyun return and asked, "How did it go?"

"Xi Yao agreed to put up some money to buy the Treasure Pavilion building back — five hundred thousand Federation coins, cheaper than rebuilding. The transfer can go through this afternoon!" Liu Mengyun said. "Liao Yuankai did bring up the challenge. I taunted him a bit, and he actually looked full of fighting spirit!"

"Very good!"

Su Yang nodded in satisfaction.

He propped his feet up on the desk, stretched, and gazed at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. "Tomorrow, I want to go out for a stroll."

Liu Mengyun pressed her lips together. "My lord, could you take me along?"

"Uh... what about the work, then!"

"Then I'll stay behind!" Liu Mengyun thought it over, then nodded and said, "But my lord, don't go too far. If sea beasts really come ashore to attack the city, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold them off."

"Mm!"

That was indeed a problem.

Mount Dajiao City's location was far from safe.

As a city lord, he couldn't roam about as freely as he had back when he was with the emergency squad.

He turned his gaze to Liu Mengyun.

Liu Mengyun was currently at Shine-Rank Mid-Grade strength.

Even with two excellent beasts — the Ice Moon Elf and the Phantom Nether Cat — taking on a King-Rank powerhouse was still a bit of a stretch.

He tapped his index finger lightly on the desk, producing a steady tap-tap sound.

After a long pause, he asked, "You should have a clear picture of how the City Lord's residence operates by now, yes?"

"I do!"

"Then gradually hand the authority over to Vice City Lord Feng!"

Liu Mengyun looked at Su Yang, a little stirred.

Su Yang smiled. "Keeping you pinned in your current post is a waste of your talent, and it's not fair to you either. Focus on training the Ice Moon Elf and the Phantom Nether Cat."

"Yes, my lord!"

"I have my duties and can't stray far from Mount Dajiao City for now, but you're different!" Su Yang said slowly. "You can range a bit farther. I hope you'll reach King-Rank combat power as soon as possible — at the very least, get the Ice Moon Elf and the Phantom Nether Cat trained to the peak of Shine-Rank!"

If both beasts reached the peak of Shine-Rank, Liu Mengyun would at last possess an initial King-Rank combat capability!

"When the time comes, you'll hold Mount Dajiao City in my stead... hahaha!"

"Don't worry, my lord. I'll raise my strength as fast as I can — I promise!"

Liu Mengyun knew this was Su Yang sacrificing his own time so that she could grow stronger.

Su Yang had already done more than enough for her!

In her heart she was both moved and angry at herself for not being more capable!

The next day, Su Yang received Xi Yao's payment and put the Treasure Pavilion building back in place.

As long as the foundation was reinforced, the Treasure Pavilion building could be put back into use.

Of course, everything inside had long since been looted clean by Su Yang.

When Liao Yuankai came out of the Treasure Pavilion building, his face was black.

Back at the Lord Mayor's mansion, Feng Feng Yuanjie's face glowed with red light.
