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

Lin Heng stopped at the door: "Didn't I tell you to rest first?"

"I……"

Yun Qinghe slightly parted her thin lips.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked with a slightly evasive look, "I noticed... even though it's already past midnight, Master doesn't seem sleepy at all."

"?"

Lin Heng didn't quite understand what Yun Qinghe meant.

Would a celestial servant with high enough loyalty even care whether I go to bed early or not?

But upon hearing Yun Qinghe's next words, Lin Heng understood completely...

"It's like, it's like absorbing the fatigue-relieving properties of the wood spirit root."

Her hands, hanging at her sides, gently pinched the hem of her skirt. "And I just smelled a very strong wood spirit root aura on Master..."

"That's correct."

Lin Heng nodded and said, "I did spend the whole day with a fairy with a wood elemental root yesterday."

"Oh!"

Yun Qinghe was stunned for a moment, but unexpectedly she triggered the Slave Spirit Seal after a long time!

The pain in her lower back caused Yun Qinghe to collapse to the ground, feeling utterly exhausted.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lin Heng was puzzled.

Once this slave spirit seal is triggered, it means that the immortal slave has feelings of resistance and defiance.

But Yun Qinghe looks like this...

It didn't seem like they had any ill intentions towards me at all.

"I'm sorry, Master."

Yun Qinghe supported herself with one hand on the ground and slowly stood up.

Seeing that the Slave Spirit Seal had been activated, she raised her head and looked at Lin Heng expectantly: "I was just thinking... since Master needs to find a Wood Spirit Root Fairy to relieve his fatigue, why not find me?"

This time, the Slave Spirit Seal was not triggered.

This shows that Yun Qinghe's reasoning is perfectly valid.

So...

She had just triggered the Slave Spirit Seal because she was slightly dissatisfied with another Wood Spirit Root Fairy relieving her fatigue.

But then again, that Wood Spirit Root Fairy is your sect leader!

What are you complaining about regarding her...?

However, considering that Yun Yue did not intend to tell her disciple about her identity as a member of the Yunling Sect, Lin Heng could only shake his head helplessly: "It wasn't for relaxation, but mainly to teach her some abilities to manage Jinlu City in the future, and then I also came into contact with her wood spirit root."

"Huh?"

Yun Qinghe was stunned. "So the Wood Spirit Root Fairy that Master mentioned... is the Pavilion Master of the Lost Pavilion?"

"Um."

Lin Heng nodded slightly.

"So that's how it is..."

Yun Qinghe nodded slightly. "If it were her, she would surely help Master manage Golden Deer City well."

"Are you so sure?" Lin Heng raised an eyebrow.

"Um!"

Yun Qinghe said with absolute certainty, "...Actually, on the day of the reorganization of Golden Deer City, my senior sister and I realized that she should be a reliable fairy. Although the management method has been corrected by the master, we can still feel some shadows of the Yunling Sect. Presumably, she was once an elder or sect master of a major sect in the immortal realm."

You're right.

Lin Heng simply agreed with Yun Qinghe's guess, but did not tell her Yun Yue's true identity.

"Alright, it's time to rest."

As Lin Heng spoke, he prepared to enter the dormitory.

"Master... please wait a little longer!"

Yun Qinghe called out to him from behind.

"Is there anything else?" Lin Heng asked, puzzled.

"Master...please come with me."

Lin Heng followed Yun Qinghe out of the house, puzzled, and into the courtyard at night.

At this time, there is no one else on the open ground of the Cloud Oasis.

Standing in the corner of the courtyard, Yun Qinghe lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Master, there's something... I've actually been keeping from you."

"Hidden from me?"

Lin Heng asked curiously.

But the Slave Spirit Seal did not trigger again, so the thing being kept from me should not be something that would harm me or the immortal slaves around me.

"Um……"

As if she had made a difficult decision, Yun Qinghe nodded heavily, then looked up at Lin Heng.

"Actually, the way wood spirit roots relieve fatigue... is not what Master imagines."

"no?"

Lin Heng asked in confusion, "But didn't it work before?"

"Master, please experience this."

As she spoke, Yun Qinghe also took out a spirit stone, then approached Lin Heng and stood on tiptoe.

As the delicate pink lips drew closer, Lin Heng couldn't help but open his mouth.

This time, however, Yun Qinghe did not get very close, but maintained a subtle distance.

As a refreshing fragrance of wood spirit root wafted over, Lin Heng felt his body become more comfortable and refreshed.

Yun Qinghe whispered, "Actually, this is fine..."

"So, there was no need for any further steps?"

Lin Heng immediately understood.

It turns out that to relieve fatigue through the Wood Spirit Root, there's no need to taste its tender branches and leaves!

No wonder she seemed quite surprised, her eyes widened, when she used Yun Yue's wood spirit root to relieve fatigue...

But then again, why has Yun Qinghe never mentioned this before?

Thinking this, Lin Heng looked at Yun Qinghe meaningfully.

The reason I didn't say it before was because she was the only wood-elemental fairy with a higher purity of spiritual root by my side.

And coincidentally, Yun Yue also has a wood elemental root...

"Master, please don't misunderstand!"

Yun Qinghe's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she quickly turned her slightly flushed cheeks away.

Suddenly, Yun Qinghe was startled.

The spirit stone in her hand shone brightly once more, and she felt as if the tender green leaves of her wood spirit root had been lightly tasted.

"But I'm used to it. You can relieve my fatigue the same way you used to."

After casually uttering a sentence, Lin Heng walked into the room alone.

"From now on, I'll still relieve my master's fatigue just like before..."

Yun Qinghe stood there stunned, then looked up with delight: "Master was referring to the time when I relieved his fatigue, not others!"

[Immortal Slave Yun Qinghe's loyalty +5, now 187]

really……

Lin Heng, who was already preparing to go to bed, saw the tips in the Immortal Slave Manual and his guess was confirmed.

Previously, Mu Tinglan's loyalty level had been stuck at 290 points and hadn't increased, which led him to make a deduction:

Once a slave's basic needs are met, their emotional attachment and favoritism are more likely to drive an increase in loyalty.

Yun Qinghe has always been proud, so all we need to do is make her feel that her wood spirit root is different from others in her eyes.

However, the consequence of doing so was that after Yun Qinghe returned to Lin Heng's side and lay down, the special effects of her title, "Enchanting Fairy," began to take effect, causing her to snuggle close to him...

Having already been nourished by the Wood Spirit Root twice, Lin Heng found it even harder to fall asleep that night.

So Lin Heng could only take a short rest and wait for dawn.

……

The next day, a faint light appeared on the horizon above the clouds.

Lin Heng, who hadn't fallen asleep, got out of bed and activated the Spirit Restoration Array.

With abundant spiritual energy flowing in, the vast oasis, towering into the clouds, began to move and migrate, heading towards Yunma Snow Mountain...
