I am rich in the fairy world

Hu Qing had a reason for calling them back: "When I open the divine path, I will be subject to the erosion of the rules. If you are far away from me, I don't know if it will affect our contract and harm you. So from now on, you should stay obediently by my side."

No one had thought about this question before, but when Hu Qing spoke, they realized that they were directly affected by matters of the divine way, and they became solemn.

"Are you alright?"

Hu Qing: "What could possibly happen to me? It's a sure thing, and we'll go to the God Realm later."

Emperor Ling: "Aren't you going to improve your cultivation level?"

Hu Qing: "Cultivation level is not important to me now. With over five hundred Emperor Seals, who can defeat me?" She asked, "What's this about Faith Power? Why are you suddenly trying to collect Faith Power for me?"

She looked at Emperor Ling and instinctively felt that it was his idea.

The Emperor said, “We’ve always said that faith is a good thing. We were just trying it out at first, and we didn’t expect it to work. We just acted within your territory, promoted you, and spoke well of you. The rest came naturally. Those temples and monasteries were all built spontaneously by the locals.”

Hu Qing didn't believe it; how could she have such great influence? As the Seal Lord Emperor, she had only briefly taken office and hadn't done anything for the world.

“You’ve done something amazing,” Gouwen reminded her. “Have you forgotten that every time you served a new master, you helped the trapped souls of the dead return to the underworld? That’s such a great act of merit. When the dead rest in peace, the laws of yin and yang are balanced, and the living can also feel the benefits in the unseen world.”

Lei Long continued, "There is also the descent of heavenly lightning to settle sins, bringing clarity to the world, restoring order, and benefiting countless beings in all realms."

Ruthless: "You have already done the greatest good. They are grateful to you and already have faith in you in their hearts. We are just letting the power of faith gather and be transmitted to you."

Hu Qing did not do anything trivial; she unleashed a powerful move from the level of the laws, and everyone within the laws benefited.

With this explanation, Hu Qinghao was much more accepting and laughed, "I was terrified that you would use crooked tricks to deceive people. Fortunately, you just follow the rules."

The emperor was annoyed: "Are you targeting me?"

Hu Qing chuckled, poured a cup of tea and pushed it towards her: "Don't be so petty, I can see you're much better than before."

The former Emperor Ling was always eager to impress, but now he is much more composed and has the demeanor of a true general.

Hu Qing took out the prepared gifts: "Here, these are what I prepared for you before, but I'm only giving them to you now. Please keep them safe, I won't replace them if you lose them."

It's a glittering, fist-sized sphere; it's impossible to lose it. It's a meritorious deed, so precious.

"One for Linghuang, one for Baiwen, one for Leilong, one for Gouwen, one for Xuesha, and one for Wuqing." Hu Qing sent them out one by one, "Hide them and keep them close to your body."

Everyone held the gift in their hands, both surprised and suspicious: "Why are you suddenly giving us a gift?"

Looking at their faces, Hu Qing said with emotion, "I didn't want faith power before because I didn't want to create karma with so many people. I never expected that the faith power you all helped me gather would be such a big help at this crucial moment—"

She recounted how, during her collaboration with the Arctic Temple, she felt a surge of emotion and used the Faith Arrow to kill the Mad Demon Heavenly Dao.

"Who could have imagined that faith could slay the Heavenly Dao!" Hu Qing's eyes gleamed as he recounted the events of that time, still finding it unbelievable to this day.

Su Shan, standing next to the bouquet, was completely stunned; Hu Qing had never explained it in such detail before.

The others were so shocked they couldn't even process it. Was this awesome?

"Really? Faith can overturn the Heavenly Dao?" Gouwen murmured. "How come I didn't know that?"

The emperor didn't believe it either: "I've seen people who cultivate faith, and they—don't have that ability...right?"

Wuqing pondered for a moment and said, "No one would want to overthrow the Heavenly Dao, right? And no one has ever seen the Heavenly Dao with a physical form."

"Yes, that's right," everyone exclaimed in realization.

He smiled coldly and put away the golden merit ball: "Then I'll accept it. I'd be perfectly happy to accept a few more if you gave me a few more."

Hu Qing laughed heartily, "There's not much more. I'll save the remaining merit for when I open my divine path." This seemed a little off.

"Do other masters also use merit? Do they?"

Hu Qing: "Who cares about others? I'm young and have low cultivation, so merit is what makes up for my shortcomings. Perhaps the Heavenly Dao chose me because of my merit. Even if others don't have merit, they must have strengths that the Heavenly Dao values."

Blood Killer agreed: "Exactly, doesn't that Dust Wind have divine blood?" He chuckled and leaned closer, "Isn't that guy really good at fighting? When are you going to fight him again? Take me with you."

Hu Qing held Xue Sha's head in her hands, looking him up and down. "Xue Sha, why are you always so immature? Even Bai Wen knows to bring me flowers, but all you care about is fighting. You even want to fight Chen Feng. Do you know that when a Seal Master fights, it's all about the power of the Imperial Seal and the laws? Your tiny body wouldn't even be able to fill the hole if you tried to fill it."

Blood Killer was self-aware: "You take the lead in attacking, I'll support you, and I'll hide behind you to assassinate him."

Hu Qing pinched his face and pulled it to both sides: "You're really shameless to fight another battle just for you. Don't even think about it."

The emperor warned him: "At this point, don't go looking for trouble."

Hu Qing: "You all need to settle down. No matter what the reason, you can't run around anymore. If the rules change and we're forced to sever our ties, I won't be able to save you even if I wanted to."

Several people agreed.

Hu Qing turned around and entered the space, handing a round, golden ball of merit to the silk cloth: "Here, this is yours."

The little thing hasn't made a sound; it must be sulking.

"You think I've forgotten you? Of course not! This one is bigger than theirs."

Silk Cloth's sullen mood instantly brightened, though she refused to admit it. She took the golden ball, wrapped it around her, and swung it back and forth, saying, "Why are you suddenly giving me a gift? What's ours is yours."

I was so happy I could hardly contain myself.

Hu Qing: "If I put it into my body, I'm afraid you'll be forced to share the burden of the laws that I'm subjected to."

So that's how it is. In front of Hu Qing, the silk cloth absorbed the merit ball into his body, making him feel warm and sleepy. He lifted one corner and pressed it against the middle, letting out a long yawn.

Hu Qing looked around: "The Ice Demon hasn't returned?"

"No. He's fine in the space." Silk Cloth recalled an old story, "You used to take in the weak young cubs of the Nine Clans in the space, but later you put them all back, and not one of them came back to find you."

Silk cloth was indignant: "I've raised it for nothing."

Hu Qing had completely forgotten about it: "I did it on purpose."

She had always resisted the presence of advanced intelligent beings in her space, and her decision to take in the nine clans' offspring was twofold: firstly, the space needed advanced beings to supplement its laws for development, and secondly, she pitied the offspring and, since she was idle anyway, she was willing to give them a good future. Later, as their physical condition improved and they grew up, Hu Qing's old ailment relapsed, so she took the opportunity to have Xiao Shi and Xiao Zai send them back.

It's likely that the nine clan leaders were well aware of the situation when they saw the child being sent back, and they didn't bring it up again.

Hu Qing smiled and said, "Whether Xiao Shi or Xiao Zai have brought this up on their own initiative, they must both know about it."

Silk Cloth said angrily, "How can you go back on your word? They were the ones who begged you in the first place!"

Hu Qing said, "I've changed my mind. I don't want to raise it."

Silk sensed that she meant it sincerely, and immediately changed her tune: "That's right, our house is so clean, those brats have no manners at all when it comes to eating, drinking, and relieving themselves, even someone as good-tempered as Old Ginseng can't stand it. It's best if they don't come back."

Silk Cloth hummed proudly: "Now that your space is complete and the laws are in order, you don't need any messy things to supplement it."

Hu chuckled: "Yes, with Xiao Bu here, there's no need for all this mess."

The silk fabric was beaming with delight, completely oblivious to the deeper meaning behind Hu Qing's words. (End of Chapter)
