After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

"You little brat!"

Turning around, Chi Hu immediately glared at Lin Heng, then grabbed Lin Heng by the collar: "Tell me, was it you who did this?"

It must be said that Chi Hu's intuition was very accurate.

The stone bricks that the fairy servants carried into the house did indeed disappear because of Lin Heng.

Or rather, only Lin Heng can see them...

When Chi Hu asked him where to place the stone bricks, Lin Heng directly said the location of the Demon-Sealing Array.

Although the main function of the Demon-Concealing Array is to deceive the vision of those lower-level demons.

However, if something is placed in the center of the array, even if it is not a demon, it will not be detected.

This characteristic was something Lin Heng only discovered last night after completing the Demon-Concealing Array...

"Lord Red Tiger, please don't wrong an innocent person."

Lin Heng said to Chi Hu in a slow and unhurried manner, "From the moment the carriage stopped until now, I haven't even stepped into my house."

"That's true."

The bulging veins on the back of Chi Hu's hand gradually relaxed.

At that moment, Lin Heng slapped his hand away.

"You little brat, you want to die?!"

"It seems like you're the one who wants to die, Lord Red Tiger."

Lin Heng maintained a forced smile and then revealed the final and most important part of his plan.

"Not only did they embezzle Lord Xuebin's stone bricks, but they even tried to pocket the city lord's Ancheng tax. Tell me... isn't that just asking for death?"

"What are you saying? I don't understand..."

Upon hearing this, Chi Hu's face became visibly tense.

After all, in his eyes, the embezzlement of the stone bricks was just a baseless accusation. As long as he had some time to produce evidence, the Snow-Maned Lion Demon wouldn't punish him unreasonably.

A person with an upright character has nothing to fear; this saying applies everywhere.

But embezzling Ancheng taxes...

He really did it!

Don't be fooled by the fact that he has always managed a dilapidated slum with only four households, and now even those four households have been reduced to two.

But if you're ruthless enough, two households can create the value of ten households!

Take this kid's neighbor, for example. Over the years, Chi Hu has squeezed a lot of money out of him.

Although everyone does this kind of thing to some extent, if the city lord finds out, the consequences will be...

"So Lord Red Tiger doesn't understand? It seems I'll have to go to the City Lord's Mansion this afternoon."

Lin Heng shrugged casually and brushed past Chi Hu, seemingly already planning to go back inside.

"Wait!"

Chi Hu grabbed Lin Heng's arm and said through gritted teeth, "You brat... what do you want? Name your price, and we'll call it even."

Lin Heng, with his back to Chi Hu, immediately curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

It was obvious that Chi Hu was wary of the city lord of Linxian City.

What Lin Heng was actually waiting for was precisely what he was saying now.

"Then I'll just say it directly."

Lin Heng pointed to the stone bricks outside and said, "Lord Chihu, look at how big a box of stone bricks I bought today. It's obvious I want to expand and renovate my house."

"But there's only me and one fairy servant in my family, so we obviously don't have enough manpower."

"If Lord Red Tiger can get me a fairy who is about to become a celestial slave, I can consider it as if I only bought a box of stone bricks from you today."

"As for the missing half box... well, my house is only so big, I don't need that much."

"..."

This guy is just taking advantage of the situation!

Doesn't this guy know how expensive fairy slaves are on the market now?

But unfortunately, Red Tiger had no choice but to agree...

He stared intently at Lin Heng, whose forced smile made him want to punch him.

But he couldn't do that; if someone died, he, as the administrator, would definitely be questioned by the city lord.

After taking a deep breath, Red Tiger said, "Alright, you just wait, I'll find you two celestial servants from the market right away!"

"No."

Lin Heng said casually, "I think that purple-clad fairy in Lord Xuebin's mansion is quite nice."

"A fairy in purple?"

Chi Hu was taken aback: "You mean... one of the full-moon gifts that the City Lord gave to Young Master Xue Bin?"

"That's right."

"Okay, I can agree to that."

At this moment, Chi Hu actually breathed a sigh of relief.

For the city lord, or rather, for powerful figures like the Snow-Haired Lion Demon, celestial servants are actually the least valuable.

What if one of your servants is missing? Just ask someone to buy another one.

In this era, no wealthy family would care about the life or death of a fairy servant.

So when Lin Heng specifically asked for a fairy from the Snow-Haired Lion Demon's Palace, Chi Hu actually breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if Lin Heng wanted a fairy from the market, he would probably have to spend several spirit stones to buy her...

"I'll try to figure something out, and I can bring it to you by tonight at the latest."

As he spoke, Chi Hu looked at Lin Heng with some unease, then clenched his fist: "But kid, I can fulfill your request, but if word gets back to the City Lord's Mansion about the Ancheng tax..."

"Lord Red Tiger, are you threatening me?"

Lin Heng looked at him with a smile, completely unmoved.

He knew very well who held the initiative now.

"...I'll go back and take care of it after I unload the goods."

"Alright, just leave the rest of the bricks at the entrance; there's no need to carry them inside."

……

After removing all the remaining stone bricks, Chi Hu hurriedly called for his four celestial servants to leave.

Lin Heng then leisurely returned home.

Yun Qinghe was sitting on the bed with her back to the door, gazing out the window with a heavy heart.

"Owner?"

Hearing Lin Heng return home, Yun Qinghe slowly turned around, looking at Lin Heng with a hesitant expression.

"Speak your mind."

"Owner……"

After receiving permission, Yun Qinghe voiced her doubts: "Some fairies delivered a batch of stone bricks earlier, but after they were placed over there... why did they suddenly disappear?"

"This is a demon-concealing formation."

Lin Heng squatted down in front of a few broken bricks, and then moved the hidden stone bricks out from inside.

"A demon-concealing formation?!"

Yun Qinghe was greatly surprised.

Although both the Demon-Concealing Array and the Spirit-Restoring Array belong to low-level arrays, arrays with concealment effects are often accompanied by more complex rules.

So her master even knew how to construct a demon-concealing array? And he had managed to do so using only such a small area.

The master's array-building skills probably far exceeded her imagination...

At this moment, Lin Heng, who was carrying several stone bricks, glanced at her.

"You're just going to watch me lay bricks?"

"I'm sorry, Master!"

Reminded by Lin Heng, Yun Qinghe quickly got out of bed and came over to help.

While moving bricks, Lin Heng casually said, "The main purpose of hiding these bricks is to extort money from Chi Hu."

"With me... does Master still need spirit stones?"

Yun Qinghe looked at Lin Heng, puzzled.

Because in just half a day today, she used the Spirit Restoration Array to produce three more spirit stones for Lin Heng!

"They're not extorting spirit stones, they're extorting celestial slaves."

"Does Master need more celestial slaves?"

Yun Qinghe's eyes widened immediately.

A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

But she clearly scoffed at the identity of a fairy slave before, so why is she reacting like this now?

Lin Heng glanced at Yun Qinghe suspiciously. The fact that the Slave Spirit Seal didn't react meant that she definitely wouldn't have any intention of harming him.

"Owner!"

Suddenly, Yun Qinghe put the stone bricks aside and knelt down on both knees in front of Lin Heng.

"?"

Yun Qinghe raised her head, looking at Lin Heng pleadingly: "If possible, please beg my senior sister to become your immortal servant as well. What she can do, or rather, what value she has to you... is definitely more than what I do!"
