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

"Ahem, junior sister."

As Mu Tinglan came from the kitchen, she coughed, reminding Yun Qinghe to control her emotions.

She turned around and greeted Lin Heng politely, handing him a bowl of water: "Master is back."

"Um."

After taking the water, Lin Heng said, "Go and clean up the area around the Immortal Spirit Spring."

"Yes……"

Mu Tinglan hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Yun Qinghe before picking up a broom and heading to the bathing room.

At the same time, Lin Heng also calmly focused his gaze on Yun Qinghe.

Yun Qinghe pursed her thin lips and took the initiative to speak, "I'm sorry, Master, I didn't mean anything by it. I'm just glad that I didn't fall into their hands."

Lin Heng's expression remained calm as he placed a hand on Yun Qinghe's head: "As long as you do what I've assigned you, I will protect you."

"Really, Master?"

Yun Qinghe raised her head and looked at Lin Heng with a charming and innocent expression.

[Immortal Slave Yun Qinghe's loyalty +1, now -3]

"On the condition that you complete the tasks I give you properly."

"I see!"

Yun Qinghe nodded heavily and said firmly, "Qinghe's job is to produce more spirit stones for Master!"

"..."

She is so insightful.

However, the fairy servants Lin Heng needs are enlightened fairies like Yun Qinghe...

The turmoil outside continued, so Lin Heng saved himself the trouble of going into the city and went directly to the celebration to find a few familiar merchants and laborers, asking them to bring the male cultivator to continue the house expansion work.

At noon, Lin Heng went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Not long after, Mu Tinglan arrived as well.

"What's up?"

Lin Heng stopped what he was doing.

"It's alright, Master."

Mu Tinglan shook her head. "I just want to learn Master's cooking skills. I can't expect Master to prepare meals for me every day."

Lin Heng nodded slowly, thinking it was a good suggestion: "Okay, I'll write you a recipe later, and you can try it tonight."

"Yes, Master, I actually already know how to chop vegetables..."

"Then you come."

……

Lunch was ready, and Yun Qinghe also got out of bed to eat lunch with us.

What puzzled Lin Heng was that although Yun Qinghe was still eating with a satisfied expression, her loyalty level had not increased any further.

On the contrary, Mu Tinglan, who was eating normally, quietly gained a little more loyalty.

But it's obvious that Mu Tinglan is the type of person who will obediently eat whatever her master gives her; she'll be happy when there's good food, and she won't complain when there isn't.

Yun Qinghe, on the other hand, has typical foodie traits...

I was eating while I was thinking.

Lin Heng felt that he had probably found the reason.

It's probably because when something is expected to become a habit, the threshold for satisfaction in a person's heart will also increase, which is human nature.

But just as they finished eating, a burst of enthusiastic cheers came from the celebration area.

Lin Heng looked out the window and saw Xia Feng rushing over impatiently: "Holy crap, it's so exciting when fairies fight without using magic! They're even pulling each other's hair!"

"Master, that's the main event held during the annual celebrations in Linxian City."

At this moment, Mu Tinglan, who had started clearing the dishes, spoke to Lin Heng.

"Activity?"

Lin Heng looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Xia Feng had previously told him that there would indeed be many activities during the city-building celebration of Linxian City.

"Well, the main activity is to have the immortal slaves who have lost their immortal powers beat each other up, and then advance to the next round..."

Mu Tinglan nodded gently.

Having come from the city lord's mansion, she clearly knew more about these things: "In principle, this is the cricket fighting that people used to do. The only difference is that the crickets have been replaced with fairy servants."

Hearing this, Yun Qinghe couldn't help but ask, "But what's the point of doing this?"

"Junior sister, you can tell by looking at the cheers of those demons. No matter which side's immortal servant is knocked to the ground, they will all burst into cheers."

Mu Tinglan, unfazed by such occurrences, showed no change in expression.

"Whether you want to see a winner or a loser, or you just want to see pain on the fairy slave's face, you can release the excitement in your heart. And this is the meaning of the fairy slave's existence."

"..."

Mu Tinglan sighed and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Lin Heng began writing some simple recipes on the table.

Bang!

Not long after, a noise came from next to the house.

A male monk called out from outside, "Boss, there's a small slope next to your house, which makes it difficult to expand or repair. Why don't you come and take a look?"

Just as Lin Heng got up to leave, Mu Tinglan came out of the kitchen and volunteered, "Master, I'll go. I have some knowledge of construction from my time in the sect."

"Um."

Lin Heng sat down again, and Mu Tinglan wiped her hands and left the room.

The outside quieted down again, but this quiet didn't last long...

"Oh my! Who is this? I must be seeing things! Fairy Tinglan, it's been so long since we parted ways at Yunling Sect."

Who the hell has an accent that sounds like a eunuch?

Lin Heng raised his head and frowned in displeasure.

"Senior sister?"

Yun Qinghe also looked in the direction from which the sound came.

"I'll go take a look."

Lin Heng went out and went directly to the expansion construction site next to the house.

"roll."

As soon as he arrived, he saw Mu Tinglan, who was usually gentle and kind, glare at a man dressed in laborer's clothes.

"Oh my, you've become a celestial servant and you still have a temper? Look, your master is here!"

When the man saw Lin Heng approaching, he had a look on his face as if he was ready to watch a good show.

In today's world, the status of a fairy slave is even lower than that of a laborer.

After all, hiring laborers costs money...
