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

"So, even those seemingly glamorous fairies of Golden Deer City will end up like this...?"

Beside them, Mu Tinglan and Yun Qinghe exchanged a glance.

When they were in the market, they had vaguely sensed that the fairies in the city were different from the fairies they knew.

Let alone in the Demon Calendar era, even in the ancient and prosperous times of immortals, no fairy would have such a condescending arrogance.

Now that they have witnessed Xianyuan's true fate, they are not so much surprised as they feel a sense of expected realization.

"Junior sister, in fact, their fate is even more tragic than that of ordinary immortal slaves."

Mu Tinglan shook her head and said calmly, "For example, in Linxian City, most immortal slaves are used as tools for venting frustration. But in Jinlu City, that immortal maiden was forced to activate her spiritual root characteristics through spirit stones, so that she could smelt mineral water and produce minerals to profit for wealthy merchants."

"Even with spiritual energy protecting her, she would be unable to handle drinking large amounts of mineral water, let alone a fairy who has now become an ordinary person."

"What's most despairing is that forcibly stimulating the spiritual roots to exert their characteristics will lead to their complete exhaustion. If the demonic tide recedes one day and spiritual energy recovers, they will never be able to become immortals again..."

"what?"

Yun Qinghe was taken aback.

Even if the spiritual energy were to recover, they would still be unable to become immortals again, which is what truly makes the fairies despair.

Although such hope was already faint, once the spiritual root was completely exhausted, even that faint hope was extinguished...

"Indeed, this is the most despairing thing."

Suddenly, Lin Heng felt a mix of coldness and complex emotions from Gesang Nazha.

Because torturing spiritual roots is simply too cruel.

After all, in Linxian City, and even in their Western Regions, the role of immortal slaves is more of a tool that is fully utilized.

However, these celestial maidens, whose value has been infinitely inflated, are treated as expensive consumables in the hands of even wealthier slave masters...

At this moment, Gesang Nazha in her heart actually looked at Lin Heng with new respect.

From the very first day she became Lin Hengxian's slave, her body was already possessed by a demonic consciousness, revealing her spiritual roots and fox demon nature.

But Lin Heng never once tried to forcibly activate her spiritual root characteristics to do anything.

Even after accepting the dowry from his mother, he respected her wishes...

But his strength is clearly far superior to that of these slave masters of Golden Deer City.

……

At this moment, after witnessing what had just happened, Lin Heng's Immortal Slave Handbook also showed a reaction:

[Immortal Slave Mu Tinglan's loyalty +0, now at 290.]

[Immortal Slave Yun Qinghe's loyalty +5, now 145.]

[Xiannu Gesang Nazha's loyalty +10, now ???]

Huh?

Lin Heng paused for a moment.

Surprisingly, even when Gesang Nazha was in her demonized state, she was able to increase loyalty.

This was quite a surprise.

The feedback in the slave manual included not only pleasant surprises but also frustrations.

Why is it that Mu Tinglan's loyalty has increased by a bizarre +0 despite the increase being obvious?

However, Lin Heng remembered something.

Ever since she finally made a little progress in unlocking the puzzles, she's been back to the same situation, unable to increase the progress of unlocking the puzzles even by reading books.

Could there be something wrong with Mu Tinglan's loyalty?

Perhaps it's related to the unlocked Tide-Calling Seal?

"My God, so this is what happens to all these fairy princesses!"

Suddenly, Xia Feng sighed repeatedly and looked at Lin Heng: "But...Young Master Lin, if this gets out, won't the entire Jinlu City's industry collapse completely?"

"How do you think this should get out?"

Lin Heng pointed to the city lord's guards at the entrance of the seal-making hall.

There's no way a third person could have seen what happened after the slave spirit seal was formed.

After being bound by the Slave Spirit Seal, Xian Yuan lost the right to reveal the truth.

"Hiss, that doesn't make sense either!"

Xia Feng said, puzzled, "Everyone knows the characteristics of the Slave Spirit Seal, so why were those fairy maidens so stupid that they never suspected anything...?"

Knock knock knock!

Just then, a neat row of armored soldiers poured out of the city lord's mansion.

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Feng and Lin Heng quickly stepped aside to make way for them.

"What's the purpose of this formation?"

Xia Feng gazed into the distance in the direction the soldiers were marching.

He had barely turned around when someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey chubby boy, what are you and your teacher doing here?"

"Holy crap! Old man, when did you pop up here?"

Xia Feng turned around and looked at Tian Qianchen in surprise.

"Elder Tian, ​​did you just come from the City Lord's Mansion?"

Lin Heng looked at Tian Qianchen with a smile. He knew that the old guy had come to the city lord's mansion early in the morning.

"Yes, I had some tea with the city lord here. After all, this is his territory, so it's only right that he treats me, the elder of the General Administration Department, with some spiritual herbs and tea."

Tian Qianchen waved his hand and said, "He was trying to get close to me, seemingly wanting to introduce some array construction technology to Jinlu City... but just now he said it was time for his weekly routine, so he told me to just wander around outside."

"Routine time?"

Lin Heng glanced at Xia Feng curiously, but Xia Feng shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he had never heard of it.

"It's said to be related to the fairies here... By the way, little teacher, you must have heard about the fairies here being called 'Fairy Maidens,' right?"

As he spoke, Tian Qianchen looked at Lin Heng meaningfully.

Lin Heng nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Tian Qianchen sighed and said, "The reason I warned you before that it would affect your management is because these celestial maidens have an extremely high social status in Golden Deer City... at least, on the surface."

He knew, of course, that the oasis in the clouds was the kind of treatment that all the fairies who had become celestial slaves dreamed of, even better than the sects in the celestial realm.

However, the ability to disregard the social status of others is also a power that ordinary people crave.

"That's just on the surface; it won't affect my loyalty to my master in the slightest."

Immediately, Yun Qinghe coldly said something and stood next to Lin Heng to show her attitude.

"Um."

Mu Tinglan nodded slightly, and although she didn't say anything more, she stood on the other side of Lin Heng.

This has nothing to do with the fate of the fairy maidens they had seen before.

Even when they were walking down the street before, they felt that the status of the Fairy Maidens in Golden Deer City was morbid and distorted.

They were not envious of this.

"Tsk, little teacher, it seems these two fairies beside you are quite enlightened."

Tian Qianchen nodded to Lin Heng with satisfaction, and at the same time gave him a wink.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Heng walked over.

"Little teacher, I've inquired about your search for high-quality fairies at the City Lord's Mansion."

Tian Qianchen lowered his voice and said, "In this Golden Deer City, the best way is to cooperate with the proprietress of the Mysterious Pavilion. Because she has almost all the information about the immortals in Golden Deer City..."
