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

For several days in a row, apart from resting, City Lord Cao He basically stayed in the underground chamber of the City Lord's Mansion, and not many people in the City Lord's Mansion had seen him.

Every night, the Snow-Maned Lion Demon would bring back news about Lin Heng from his subordinates.

But what Cao He didn't expect was that from the day Lin Heng brought over thirty more immortal slaves in one go, the intelligence from the slums made him increasingly uneasy.

On the first day, his subordinates said that Lin Heng had asked someone to buy a lot of bricks and sand in the city.

The next day, it seemed like something was being built in the slums. It was a huge project, but it was impossible to tell what it was.

On the third day, the slum's demon merchants began inquiring about high-end fairy slaves in the city, offering high rewards.

On the fourth day, several houses in the slum were already taking shape on the loess soil, becoming a residential area with a larger urban scale than the present-day Linxian City.

And starting from the fifth day...

After dozens of celestial servants cultivated, felled trees, and built...

That originally barren slum has been transformed into territory that is more like a city than Linxian City!

This was blatant disregard for him, the city lord of Linxian City...

According to the city's security laws, the use of any piece of land requires the consent and approval of the city lord's office.

But that wasn't what annoyed Cao He the most.

Because on the thirteenth day, even more exciting news came from the slums.

According to intelligence from his subordinates...

That noon, Lin Heng's only neighbor brought Xiannu to Lin Heng's house to collect grain.

When he saw the celestial servants coming to greet Lin Heng, he suddenly suggested, for some unknown reason, "With so many celestial servants, what's the point of calling him 'master'? Why not just call him 'lord'?"

Originally, this was just a spur-of-the-moment idea of ​​that guy, but unexpectedly, those immortal servants actually called Lin Heng "Lord".

There was even a rat-faced demon merchant who eagerly inquired with Lin Heng whether it was time to think of a name for their kingdom…

"Are they really going to rebel?!"

Upon hearing this news, Cao He nearly coughed up blood.

He even regretted not developing the slums around Linxian City sooner.

Otherwise, a monster like Lin Heng would not have existed.

They will raise the immortal slaves as subjects of their territory.

Is this guy insane?

Unfortunately, by the time Cao He truly noticed Lin Heng, it was already too late.

After all, the stone pagoda in that courtyard wouldn't be joking with him...

Fortunately, he has made good progress in his negotiations with the fairy in the underground chamber these past few days.

No matter how powerful Lin Heng's stone tower is, it is ultimately an inanimate object that cannot be moved.

If we can lure him out, and then take him to see the real fairy...

Everything in the slums will eventually belong to the city lord's mansion.

Thinking this way, Cao He finally managed to calm the tightness in his chest.

He sat in his high seat and said calmly to the snow-maned lion demon, "Tomorrow, come with me to the slums."

……

The next day, after noon.

After finishing his meal, Lin Heng strolled leisurely around the slum.

Whenever he passed by a simple stone house, a fairy servant would greet him with a heartfelt smile and call out "Young Master Lin".

"Young Master Lin?"

Just then, Xia Feng, who was carrying a sack of spirit stones back from Linxian City, bumped into Lin Heng.

He walked over, puzzled, and asked, "Didn't everyone call you 'Lord' yesterday? It sounded quite impressive. How come you're calling me 'Young Master Lin' now?"

Lin Heng said with a smile, "Being imposing is useless, just call me Young Master Lin in a more friendly way."

"What's the point of being friendly then?"

"To make the masses feel that I am different from other slave owners."

"The masses? You're not the masses, you're their slave master! You're the leader!"

"But leaders also come from the masses, so naturally they must return to the masses."

"..."

Suddenly, Xia Feng paused, his gaze falling on a passing fairy servant.

The maid had just returned from digging a sack of fertile soil from Mount Linxian. Upon seeing Lin Heng, she greeted him, "Good afternoon, Young Master Lin."

"Um."

Lin Heng nodded slightly, showing no airs of a lord whatsoever.

"Hey, Young Master Lin, don't say that!"

Xia Feng stared at the celestial slave for a moment, then said slyly to Lin Heng, "I've noticed that your celestial slaves, after being well-fed, well-clothed, and having no worries about anything... are really different from the celestial slaves in the city!"

"Oh? You noticed too?"

Lin Heng nodded slightly and glanced around at the surrounding buildings that had already been completed.

In just over ten days, in addition to the residences of the immortal servants and demon merchants being built, his courtyard has also expanded to more than double its previous size.

Furthermore, a warehouse was built next to his house.

Inside were fertile soil, as well as useful stone and timber, that the celestial servants had transported back from Mount Linxian...

It's likely that in Linxian City today, you won't find any family as wealthy as Lin Heng.

The fact that such a workload could be completed in just about half a month is not only due to Lin Heng's well-planned arrangements, but also undoubtedly due to the enthusiasm of the immortal slaves to start a new life.

After all, in this world, no slave master can treat these fairy slaves as ordinary citizens living normal lives.

Even compared to some big cities, or even sects and families in the immortal realm, they didn't think it was much better than the slums.

After all, sect leaders and clan heads wouldn't be as approachable and unpretentious as their slave masters...

Therefore, the celestial servants gained such emotional value, which naturally brought them more motivation in their work and created more value for Lin Heng.

And this is the significance of social management systems.

"Of course I noticed!"

Xia Feng said enviously, "Your fairy servants not only look spirited, but also have great temperament! They're just like the fairies described in historical records! If it were me, I'd change one every night..."

"..."

Lin Heng's eye twitched.

He clearly overestimated his neighbor's level of awareness.

"Young Master Lin Heng, Young Master Lin Heng!"

At this moment, the rat-faced demon merchant hurriedly ran over from the direction of Linxian City.

Lin Heng and Xia Feng both looked at him at the same time.

Seeing the rat-faced demon merchant's anxious expression, Xia Feng knew that he probably had something important to discuss with Lin Heng.

"Hey, Young Master Lin, I'm going back to cultivate my fairy servant's aura too. You go ahead with your work!"

After saying a few words, Xia Feng bid him farewell and left.

Lin Heng watched Xia Feng's retreating figure with a smile.

Perhaps this guy lacks vision and strategic thinking, but he certainly knows how to survive in any environment.

If he were to die young anywhere, it would certainly not be because he failed to see the situation clearly.

It's only possible that he had too many interactions with the immortal servants and then contracted some kind of disease...

Seeing that Xia Feng had already returned home, Lin Heng turned to look at the rat-faced demon merchant who had run up to him: "What's wrong?"

"Young Master Lin Heng, two important matters!"

The rat-faced merchant held up two fingers, panting heavily, and said, "Young Master Lin Heng, when I went to Linxian City to inquire about high-grade goods for you, I finally got some news!"

"Oh?"

Lin Heng immediately became interested.

After all, what he lacks most right now are immortal slaves like Mu Tinglan and Yun Qinghe who can be recognized by the Immortal Slave Manual.

"I found out from a traveling salesman who goes from city to city!"

"It is said that the demonic tide last month had a great impact on various cities, especially the nomadic families in the Western Regions who live off grass and plants."

"They are now migrating towards the capital, to apply to the General Administration for new grassland territory..."

"And one of the nomadic families, leading a large number of celestial slaves, is estimated to pass through Linxian City in about two days!"

After a pause, the rat-faced demon merchant lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Lin Heng, it's probably difficult to find high-quality goods in Linxian City. Why don't you try contacting these nomadic families later?"

Lin Heng nodded slowly.

Inquiring about the fairy slave's methods elsewhere was undoubtedly the right thing to do.

After all, Linxian City is such a small place. If there were truly immortal servants with suitable spiritual roots and purity, he would have received the news long ago.

So he simply took out a spirit stone and gave it to the rat-faced demon merchant: "Alright, if you really have the immortal slave I want, I won't shortchange you on your food and spirit stones."

"Thank you very much, Young Master Lin Heng!"

However, this time, the rat-faced demon merchant did not greedily accept the spirit stones immediately as he had in the past.

He glanced at Lin Heng with concern: "Young Master, there's another piece of news..."

"On my way back, I passed by the City Lord's Mansion and saw City Lord Cao He personally gathering his men... What do you think?"

Now, everyone in the entire city of Linxian knows that Lin Heng's slum has become an independent territory.

Such a situation is seen as an unstable factor that needs to be addressed immediately by any city administrator.

However, since there has been no news from the city lord's mansion these past few days, they have allowed Lin Heng's slum to grow wildly...

But now, the city lord's mansion has suddenly gathered people, and even the rat-faced demon merchant can guess who their purpose is.

So, Lin Heng...

Wait, why is he laughing?

Not only did he laugh, Lin Heng even shrugged casually: "Finally, he's here..."
