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

"Get out of here, you idiots! You disturbed the young master's rest, or I'll dock your pay!"

After kicking the laborer in the butt, the demon merchant smiled and said goodbye to Lin Heng.

Food and housing.

Either condition was enough to make him memorize every single word Lin Heng told him...

With the departure of the demon merchant, the house returned to quiet.

Lin Heng beckoned Mu Tinglan and Yun Qinghe to bring over the stored stone bricks, then squatted down by the bed to begin studying them.

【The Nine Seas Goddess's Platform for Resolving Delusion】

This newly unlocked array is quite different from all the previous arrays.

Generally speaking, formations like the Fairy Spring and the Demon-Concealing Array require spiritual power as a guide, and spirit stones are the key energy source for activating the formation.

The Nine Seas Goddess's Platform for Resolving Delusion and Indulgence seems to be the very energy source that activates the array.

Even the structure of the formation is several times more complex than any formation unlocked before.

Fortunately, the moment the Immortal Slave Manual unlocks the array construction, the corresponding array construction knowledge can be integrated into Lin Heng's brain.

After Mu Tinglan and Yun Qinghe brought the stone bricks, he squatted down and began to patiently arrange them to form an array...

"Master, it seems you're setting up a new array again."

"Hmm, and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to understand Master's array formations."

Mu Tinglan and Yun Qinghe watched quietly from the side, whispering in each other's ears, being careful not to disturb Lin Heng.

About half an hour later, Lin Heng suddenly stopped moving.

He turned to the two of them and asked, "What are you two doing standing there behind me?"

"Is there anything our master needs us to do?"

Mu Tinglan immediately asked, and Yun Qinghe beside her also became serious.

"Go to sleep."

Lin Heng pointed to the bed in front of him: "But Tinglan, you'll sleep here. This is your bed from today onwards."

"Yes, Master."

Mu Tinglan nodded gently, her gaze towards Lin Heng exceptionally tender.

Loyalty +1

She even had her own private bed next to Lin Heng...

However, when she went to bed, she still glanced at Yun Qinghe next to her out of the corner of her eye.

Given her junior sister's personality, she didn't feel the slightest bit of jealousy?

Of course not.

Yun Qinghe braced herself on the old bed surface on her side with both hands.

Now that the senior sister has her own bed, this old bed becomes exclusively for her and its owner.

……

The night is deep.

Lin Heng has finally completed the Nine Seas Goddess's Platform for Resolving Delusion of Pleasure.

His two fairy servants were already asleep in bed.

There was enough space left for him between the two bed surfaces that were joined together.

only……

Lin Heng frowned in confusion as his gaze fell on Mu Tinglan.

Why does it seem like there's no reaction at all?

Not only that, but even the Immortal Slave Manual didn't provide any hints, except for this additional piece of information:

[The Nine Seas Goddess's Platform for Resolving Delusion: Unlock progress 0%, unlock attempts: 0.]

Unlock progress?

Number of unlock attempts?

But the problem is, how do I unlock it?

Lin Heng strongly suspects that the Fairy Slave Manual has started to act as a riddle teller.

In the past, when unlocking a formation, in addition to the knowledge of the formation, the specific function and activation method would also be displayed.

This time, however, the Immortal Slave Manual only provided a brief introduction to the Nine Seas Goddess's Platform for Delightful Pleasure, along with an explanation of its functions and effects.

Lin Heng could only speculate based on the characteristics of Mu Tinglan, the fairy with the water spirit root.

The array she unlocks through her title of Nine Seas Goddess likely has a special auxiliary function, similar to the Fairy Spring.

"Let's look into it again tomorrow."

After stretching, Lin Heng went to bed and lay down between the two of them.

However, an old, stiff bed can never compare to the softness and comfort of a new bed.

So naturally, after falling asleep, Lin Heng rolled over and moved to Mu Tinglan's new bed...

In the darkness of night.

A stream of blue light spread out from the center of the array, seemingly forming a thin mist that enveloped the entire bed...

"here it is……"

Mu Tinglan slowly opened her sleepy eyes.

But the next moment, she stared wide-eyed in terror.

Her hands were once again shackled with iron chains from the Snow-Maned Lion Demon's Palace.

Standing opposite her was Cao He, the city lord of Linxian City, and the Snow-Maned Lion Demon of the City Lord's Mansion...

"Lord Caohe, I didn't expect this fairy to escape. Fortunately, we've finally caught her... What do you suggest we do with her?"

"She was meant to be a gift from me to my nephew, and she should stay by his side."

At this moment, a small lion demon came from behind, holding a short, thin rope in his hand, which he put around the neck of another fairy servant.

boom!

"what!"

The little lion demon kicked the fairy slave in the chest, and with a scream, the fairy slave fainted on the ground.

At this moment, the little lion demon raised its head, a fierce glint flashing in its innocent eyes: "Father, Uncle, I've learned the Slave Spirit Seal now, I'm going to form one with her!"

"don't want……"

Instinctively, Mu Tinglan curled up and hugged herself tightly with both hands.

She had witnessed the little lion demon tormenting the immortal servants in this way far too many times. If she hadn't been arranged by the city lord to be the little lion demon's future official immortal servant, she probably wouldn't have escaped such torment in the past.

"Nephew, she has become someone else's celestial slave, and no longer even has the right to be your celestial slave."

Beside him, City Lord Cao He shook his head, then glanced behind him: "After you've had your fun, just hand them over to those servants. Perfect, after the demonic tide, you can use them to appease the people..."

Behind him lay a pile of ruined rubble from the ruined city of Linxian.

A group of ragged demons surrounded several celestial slaves who had been thrown out of the city lord's mansion...

"Is this my fate...?"

Mu Tinglan closed her eyes helplessly.

All that could be heard was the snow-maned lion demon agreeing, saying, "Other people's celestial servants only deserve this kind of end."

and many more!

Someone else's fairy slave...

I do have an owner!

Her master was a powerful array builder, and even the Demon General in the Demon Tide could not harm him in the slightest.

How could he possibly let these demons capture him again?

Suddenly, Mu Tinglan opened her eyes and then struggled to stand up.

"wrong."

Mu Tinglan looked ahead and said firmly, "You are just inner demons existing in my mind. This is not reality."

In an instant, the outlines of the Snow-Maned Lion Demon and the others froze.

Their figures began to gradually fade away, eventually turning into a wisp of black smoke that dissipated in all directions.

At the same time, the immortal mark on Mu Tinglan's forehead also emitted a blue light.

Now, she has returned to the slums.

Looking down, I saw the warm water of the Fairy Spring.

She slowly emerged from the pool, the iron shackles no longer on her fair wrists.

The once filthy purple robes on her body were now filled with a warm, flowing light.

Beside her was a wooden chair, on which were placed the books Lin Heng had brought back for her from the market.

This is a history book that records how people became immortals before the ancient times.

Mu Tinglan picked up the book, sat down in the chair, and casually crossed her plump legs, quietly reading.

With her master, she could relax and do whatever she wanted.

only……

Mu Tinglan's gaze fell on a passage on the page: "A fairy with a water-elemental root has a natural inclination to gently nourish all things she loves..."

And she happened to be a fairy with the water spirit root who had become an immortal.

However, she used to be able to nourish her own spiritual energy to make it even purer, but now, in this era of depleted spiritual energy, even her already withered water spirit root is about to overflow with water...

Just then, Mu Tinglan suddenly raised her head.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, which quickly turned into gentle joy.

It turns out to be the owner.

Even in his dreams, the master's expression remained as indifferent and calm as ever.

Since it was a dream, her gaze toward Lin Heng was filled with longing.

That abundant water-elemental root has finally found a target to nourish, and in dreams, she can act without restraint...

With a graceful and alluring flick of her purple sleeves.

Mu Tinglan's water spirit root, which had lost its spiritual energy, shook its tender branches like a newly sprouted grass seedling.

With each tremor, some dewdrops fall from the leaves, nourishing the barren soil...

Repeatedly, without end.

Only when the dream completely ended did she finally open her eyes, exhausted...

"Master, Lord?!"

At this moment, Mu Tinglan was completely stunned.

Lin Heng was lifting her neck with one hand, just like in her dream.

Subconsciously, she moved her curled-up, slightly tired thighs.

"!!!"

That wasn't a dream!

Everything in the dream did indeed happen to her master.

She was asleep and thought it was all a dream...

Lin Heng sat up, placed a piece of purple clothing draped over him, and calmly said to Mu Tinglan, "Let's go soak in the Immortal Spring."

"Yes, yes, Master..."

Mu Tinglan glanced guiltily at Lin Heng, after all, she only dared to do that because she thought it was a dream.

I never imagined that my dream would become reality, and that everything actually happened.

Upon hearing Lin Heng's instructions, she immediately got up and got out of bed.

At that moment, her legs went weak and she almost couldn't stand. Only after exerting some strength did she manage to reach the bathing room, clutching the hem of her purple dress...

"So the Water Spirit Root Fairy has this kind of nature? But just now, she didn't seem to realize that what happened before was real, and only thought it was a dream."

Thinking this, Lin Heng pulled up his trousers, then sat up and lit the oil lamp.

There's no other reason.

He always felt that at this moment he should light a wisp of smoke, even if it was just the smoke rising from an oil lamp...

Looking up at the ceiling, Lin Heng asked, "So what exactly is the end of spiritual energy...?"

"?"

Damn it, why am I even thinking about this...?

Coming to his senses, Lin Heng also opened the Immortal Slave Manual:

[The Nine Seas Goddess's Platform for Resolving Delusion: Unlock progress 5%, unlock attempts: 0.]

The progress has increased by 5%?

So that's why Mu Tinglan reacted just now...

Has the Nine Seas Goddess's Platform for Answering Questions begun to indulge in pleasure?

However, he had seen this information before.

As he recalled the events, Lin Heng rested his chin on his hand and muttered to himself, "Strange. The increased progress doesn't seem to have much to do with the physical labor we just did..."
