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

"I have no idea!"

Almost as a conditioned reflex, Song Jingyu immediately responded.

Then, she looked up at the sky and said, "Besides, what are you asking, teacher... I don't know anything about it..."

"Never mind if you don't know."

Lin Heng rolled his eyes, but still raised his hand and grasped Song Jingyu's other shoulder.

"Huh?!"

Song Jingyu tilted her head and looked at Lin Heng's hand, then her body stiffened.

"Oh……"

But after taking only a few steps, she realized that her teacher was trying to get her to move closer to the umbrella so that she wouldn't get wet in the rain.

At this moment, Song Jingyu's tense body gradually relaxed.

After all, the person beside her now was her closest teacher besides her sister...

"Um……"

She nodded slowly, unconsciously leaning closer to Lin Heng.

No wonder their neighbors and the little bull demon, even though they were just taking a walk, had such a strange and enjoyable reaction.

So this is what that strange feeling is like!

Having lived in a cave since childhood, she had no opportunity to interact with people.

The Cao River of that year doesn't count, because that was mostly based on my own orders.

After leaving the cave, the person she had the most contact with was her older sister, Yun Qinghe.

Besides that, there's her teacher who's currently standing next to her...

However, Song Jingyu found this kind of contact quite novel.

Song Jingyu, who grew up alone in a cave, had never been cared for like this before.

Especially when Lin Heng gently held her shoulder, she could clearly feel as if she were being held in someone's palm.

Although this feeling made Song Jingyu's left chest pound, she also found the sensation quite enjoyable...

Lin Heng, standing beside her, calmly glanced at Song Jingyu's changing expression out of the corner of his eye.

However, he did not feel that he and Song Jingyu, who gradually accepted the situation after being nervous, were the same as Xia Feng and the little bull demon on the other side.

Over there, it's highly likely that feelings have blossomed.

But here, it was Song Jingyu, who had been an orphan since childhood, who felt the warmth from the people around her more intimately.

Although Yun Qinghe accepted her sister's identity.

However, given her personality, it would be difficult for her to give Song Jingyu such a warm feeling so directly.

So strictly speaking, this kind of familial care was a first for her.

To be honest, this girl is quite pitiful...

So as she slowly walked towards the Fiery Camp, Song Jingyu's initial curiosity about this warmth turned into dependence on it.

The most obvious sign of this was when Lin Heng noticed that the girl's small hand, which was close to him, had gently gripped his collar at some point.

Finally arriving at the Fiery Camp, the two stopped, and Lin Heng put down his umbrella.

"Isn't that interesting?"

"That's interesting..."

Song Jingyu nodded slowly, but soon she realized that something was wrong.

So she quickly changed her tune, saying, "What I meant by 'interesting' was that I found walking with the teacher interesting! I wouldn't exaggerate to the point of blushing like that little bull demon..."

"Yeah?"

Lin Heng smiled as he looked at Song Jingyu's blushing face.

"Of course!"

Song Jingyu nodded immediately, saying with a smug look, "Besides, you're my teacher! Why would I blush?!"

"Oh, well, since I'm a teacher, it's not very respectable to do this."

Lin Heng nodded, then lowered his hand from her shoulder.

The moment Lin Heng moved his hand away, Song Jingyu felt a strange emptiness in her heart.

"Hey, hey, teacher, please stop!"

Song Jingyu quickly pulled Lin Heng's hand over and put it on her shoulder.

She muttered to herself, "Hmm... this doesn't seem quite right, but you're different from other teachers..."

Lin Heng teased Song Jingyu, who had a smug look on her face, "How is it different?"

Song Jingyu's eyes darted around cleverly: "Other teachers teach cultivation, but you teach me how to grow spiritual herbs! So, teacher, you can put your arm around Jingyu's shoulder!"

Lin Heng: "..."

This has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not she was taught how to grow spiritual herbs.

Then, Song Jingyu raised her head and gently tugged at Lin Heng's sleeve: "Now that we're at the Blazing Fire Camp, let me help Teacher collect the seeds of the Life-Generating Grass!"

"Just collect whatever you need."

Lin Heng knew that this was just an excuse Mu Tinglan made up.

Because he had already observed the surrounding Immortal Farmer's Spirit Fields on his way here.

In the fields of many fairies' homes, the resurrection grass has already been harvested on time.

"Oh...then, teacher, could you help me cultivate spirit herbs?"

As she spoke, Song Jingyu opened the bag containing the seeds in her hand.

"Alright, I'll also tell you some knowledge about intermediate-level spiritual herbs today."

"Uh-huh!"

So, Lin Heng casually collected some seeds of the Rejuvenating Grass and then planted the spiritual grass with Song Jingyu while explaining the process.

Simply keeping his hand on her shoulder while planting the spiritual herb was a bit too awkward.

But every time Lin Heng subconsciously tried to pull his hand back, a fiery fire spirit root pressed it down as if pleading.

After all, she had never experienced such motherly warmth before...

"It's so great to grow magical herbs with the teacher!"

After planting all the seeds in her hands, Song Jingyu looked at the Immortal Farmer's Spirit Field in front of her with satisfaction.

Then, she turned her head to look at Lin Heng's hand on her shoulder, and then looked at Lin Heng again and asked, "Teacher, will you still grow spirit herbs with me like this in the future?"

"Of course you can do it when you're free."

Lin Heng nodded, but Song Jingyu's gesture of looking at his shoulder just now made him raise an eyebrow.

This girl actually likes having her shoulder put on her arm? What kind of fetish is that...?

But regardless of the reason behind Song Jingyu's peculiar habits, Lin Heng's "Immortal Slave Manual" provides the most direct feedback:

[Song Jingyu's loyalty has increased by 20, now standing at 103.]

[Due to the Celestial Slave's loyalty reaching 50 points, a new Celestial Slave title has been unlocked: Goddess of Ember.]

【Goddess of Ember: ???】

The fourth goddess title!

Lin Heng's eyes lit up.

Just as I had guessed.

Any fairy slave who meets the requirements of the Fairy Slave Manual has the potential to unlock the title of Goddess!

and many more……

That's not necessarily true.

Lin Heng touched his chin.

Because Yun Yue, who was far away in Jinlu City, had a loyalty level that was at its maximum from the start.

Let alone the title of Goddess, I don't even know how to unlock the most basic new title...

"Um?"

As he was pondering this, Lin Heng noticed that the back of his hand, which was resting on Song Jingyu's shoulder, suddenly felt cool and somewhat soft...

When I came to my senses, I saw that the girl was pretending to be nonchalant, and she pressed her cheek against the back of her hand!

"Little teacher, little teacher!"

Suddenly, Tian Qianchen's voice came from the entrance.

"ah?!"

Song Jingyu quickly straightened her head, her gaze immediately drifting to the sky, pretending that nothing had happened...
