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

"Time to rest."

Bathed in the moonlight streaming through the window, Lin Heng glanced at Song Jingyu, who was both embarrassed and annoyed, before lying back down.

"Um."

Gesang Nazha, now a divine fox spirit, leaped into the air and landed beside Lin Heng, placing her nine soft fox tails on him.

Song Jingyu tiptoed to Lin Heng's other side, but her body was somewhat tense.

After all, Yun Qinghe had always been a barrier between her and Lin Heng in the past...

"Teacher, please don't misunderstand!"

A short while later, Song Jingyu lowered her voice and said to Lin Heng, "I, I didn't want the teacher to put his arm around my shoulder..."

"Right?"

Knowing her temperament well, Lin Heng rolled his eyes, put his hand under her neck, and then grabbed her other shoulder.

"I already told you I didn't want the teacher to put her arm around my shoulder..."

Song Jingyu pulled the blanket up to cover half of her face.

But after a short while, she looked timidly at Lin Heng and said, "Teacher, do you know... why I like it when you put your arm around my shoulder?"

Lin Heng didn't dwell on her incoherent statements, and simply nodded slightly: "Go on."

"I just feel that you're very reliable, teacher... just like my mom."

"?"

Lin Heng was speechless: "I'm a man."

"I wasn't talking about gender, teacher."

Song Jingyu turned slightly and looked at Lin Heng, saying, "What I mean is, back when we were in the cave, my mother often warned me in my dreams about the dangers of the outside world, telling me that I had to find my sister before I could leave..."

"When I came out, I found that the fairy was indeed miserable in this world... But fortunately, my master was my teacher, and my teacher didn't treat me like the other masters!"

"So when the teacher hugs me, I feel very safe..."

As she spoke, Song Jingyu turned to the side and placed her two little paws on Lin Heng's chest.

"After all, I'm not like some people who insist their master put a saddle on them or something..."

Just then, the spirit fox on the other side opened its eyes and said coldly, "Red-haired girl, did you really think I was asleep?"

Song Jingyu looked up at the sky, but did not apologize.

Since she was currently in her teacher's arms, she wasn't afraid of Gesang Nazha's threats at all...

After a while, Song Jingyu continued, "Teacher, there are some things... like serving you like my sister's senior sister did, which I might not be very good at. But through your formation, I can still do many things! Like fighting!"

As she spoke, the rules of the source fire around her began to be activated.

"Don't play with fire during bedtime."

"Oh……"

"So, teacher, fighting is my specialty. If you need to beat someone up, just call me!"

Seeing her so determined expression, Lin Heng sighed helplessly.

The fact that the fairy slave sincerely expresses his loyalty to his master is definitely not a bad thing.

But somehow, he felt that this girl was practically no different from a troublemaking, mischievous young woman...

However, Lin Heng knew that Song Jingyu was acting this way for the same reason that Yun Qinghe and Mu Tinglan had acted the same way before.

When their loyalty is high enough, they will not only stop rejecting their master as they did at the beginning of their acquaintance, but will also want to stay by their side.

As for whether this was due to emotion or his own ability, Lin Heng felt it was both.

"Alright, I'll call you if there's anything to fight about, but for now, it's time to sleep."

"Um!"

"Don't play with fire."

"Huh? I didn't use any spiritual power, teacher."

"I mean, don't draw circles on my chest with your hand."

"oh oh……"

After gradually closing her eyes, Song Jingyu snuggled closer to Lin Heng.

Lin Heng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of having Song Jingyu instead of Mu Tinglan beside you would be being able to fall asleep without a single distracting thought.

After all, if Mu Tinglan made even the slightest movement, he could touch her impressively voluptuous figure.

And this girl, even with her eyes closed, she couldn't tell if she was facing her directly or from behind...

However, without Yun Qinghe's wood spirit root to relieve fatigue, Lin Heng slept for longer than before.

So when he opened his eyes the next day, he didn't wake up naturally, but heard a "snap" sound from very close by!

"Ouch! Sister, what are you doing...?"

Then came Song Jingyu's cry of pain.

Lin Heng slowly opened his eyes, but he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Why does my face feel so soft...?

That's not right!

I clearly slept with Song Jingyu in my face last night, so why do I have this feeling?

But when he fully opened his eyes, the scene before him left him speechless.

"Jingyu, why are you sleeping on top of your master?"

Beside her, Yun Qinghe was lecturing Song Jingyu in a bad mood.

Song Jingyu, who had just woken up, rubbed her bottom and turned around to look...

"Oh no! Am I practically sitting on the teacher's face?"

Song Jingyu quickly got off Lin Heng.

"Why are you such a restless sleeper?"

Lin Heng said to her speechlessly.

Song Jingyu blushed: "I'm sorry, teacher... then... I'll go work at the Fiery Camp!"

With that, she quickly climbed off the bed and ran out of the room.

What do you need?

Turning his head, Lin Heng looked at Yun Qinghe, who was staring at him in a daze.

"oh!"

Yun Qinghe immediately came to her senses.

After all, the owner slept until noon today, so he must have slept very soundly and was used to it.

But she didn't sleep well at all last night.

Even now, I feel an emptiness in my chest...

However, to prevent their so-called level of understanding from increasing further, Yun Qinghe simply placed her hand on her chest and gently pressed it before saying to Lin Heng, "Master, Fairy Nazha said... after you wake up, she will tell you about the deity of the Sand Fox family!"

Where is she?

Lin Heng got out of bed, looked around but couldn't find Gesang Nazha.

"It's right at the entrance."

Yun Qinghe pointed outside.

"OK."

Lin Heng nodded, and then slowly walked out of the courtyard.

As he passed by the neighbor's courtyard, he heard Xia Feng sighing at home: "Sigh, forget it, take those bull horns off you. Even though you played her well, you're still not her..."

Lin Heng raised an eyebrow. Was this guy playing role-playing games at home again?

Just as Lin Heng was about to reach the entrance, he heard a loud bang behind him!

The surrounding celestial servants merely glanced in that direction before continuing their farming and woodcutting.

Only Lin Heng looked in the direction of the sound.

Judging from the power of rules that overflowed from that explosion, it must be that the old man was trying to construct the Demon Detective Platform that he taught him yesterday.

He just messed up the array again...

"Owner."

Upon arriving at the entrance, Gesang Nazha, who had been leaning against a tree, wagged her tail and then stood up straight in front of Lin Heng.

She pointed into the distance beyond the oasis and said, "We're almost at Yunma Snow Mountain."
