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

"When they come over, remember to knock on my door and let me know."

After saying that, Lin Heng turned and walked towards his own courtyard.

Go home.

Mu Tinglan and Yun Qinghe were both in their respective beds.

"It seems the second point is being scored much slower than the first..."

Lin Heng glanced at the progress in the Immortal Slave Manual.

More than ten days have passed, and even though Mu Tinglan reads every day, she has only increased her progress by 72%.

It's significantly slower than unlocking the first set of points.

On the contrary, Yun Qinghe's side is producing more and more spirit stones because of the upgraded Spirit Restoration Array!

"Let's soak in the Fairy Spring, I have to go out later."

It wasn't until Lin Heng spoke that Mu Tinglan and Yun Qinghe raised their eyes and opened their eyes.

"Master...is something dangerous going to happen?"

Mu Tinglan couldn't help but ask a question.

This is the first time I've ever soaked in the Fairy Spring in broad daylight.

Lin Heng said casually, "It's not exactly dangerous, but they definitely didn't come here to have tea with me."

With a clang, Yun Qinghe picked up the longsword leaning against the wall and coldly raised her chin: "It's alright, Senior Sister. With us here, no one can harm the master!"

Lin Heng said with a dark face, "Sword dancing is forbidden in the Immortal Spirit Spring."

Yun Qinghe: "..."

……

Upon entering the Immortal Spring, Mu Tinglan and Yun Qinghe scooped up spring water from either side to serve Lin Heng.

As Lin Heng leaned against the shore, they each reported on their work.

Mu Tinglan said that she found herself getting tired after reading for a long time and wondered if it would affect the work Lin Heng had arranged for her.

Even the most avid reader will get tired after reading for a long time; that's only natural.

However, Lin Heng paused for a moment, because he seemed to understand...

The progress of unlocking the Q&A platform has been slow these days, which may be due to the increased difficulty of unlocking due to the number of attempts, but it may also be related to Mu Tinglan's willingness to read.

So he said to Mu Tinglan, "If you get tired of watching, do something else."

"Thank you, Master... Speaking of which, I might need to ask my junior sister for help in this regard."

Mu Tinglan looked at Yun Qinghe on the other side of Lin Heng: "Junior Sister never seems to feel tired when it comes to the work assigned by Master."

"Senior sister, actually I just felt a sense of accomplishment."

"A sense of accomplishment?"

Yun Qinghe nodded slightly, then raised her chin in a cool and aloof manner.

Her tone was calm, yet it couldn't hide the pride in her bones: "Yesterday, I spent a full fifty spirit stones for my master."

……

Knock knock knock!

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

At the same time, the voice of the rat-faced demon merchant could be heard: "Young Master Lin Heng, the snow-maned lion demon and City Lord Cao He are already waiting outside the slums."

Yun Qinghe and Mu Tinglan were both startled.

Originally, they thought that the person Lin Heng was going to see was a minor demon like Chi Hu, so they could chat with him easily while soaking in the Immortal Spring.

But now, upon hearing what the rat-faced demon merchant said, their expressions also became serious.

Especially Mu Tinglan.

After all, she knew best how that human and demon had tormented the fairies...

Although Yun Qinghe had not witnessed it herself, she had learned about those things from her senior sister.

However, while she was filled with righteous indignation, a question suddenly popped into her mind.

Why are they waiting outside the slum? Shouldn't they be waiting at the entrance to the courtyard?

……

"Damn it, what do you mean we should just go into the house and arrest people because we outnumber them? Do you even think you can fit in there, you idiot!"

Outside the slums, Red Tiger was punching and kicking a soldier.

Because this guy just suggested going in to arrest someone!

Cao He and the Snow-Haired Lion Demon, who were standing in the middle of the group, did not stop the Red Tiger, who seemed to be running rampant.

Especially the Snow-Maned Lion Demon.

He had personally witnessed the power of that stone tower instantly unleashing its magical power!

At this moment, the Snow-Maned Lion Demon and Cao He, looking at the slums before them, were already deathly pale...

In just over ten days, more than ten stone pagodas exactly like the one in front of Lin Heng's courtyard have been erected here!

They even went inside to arrest people?

Relying on their superior numbers?

Even if they bring a lot more people, if they take just one more step forward, everyone's lives will be over!

The Snow-Maned Lion Demon was absolutely convinced of this.

But what surprised him and Cao He even more was the fairy slaves in this slum.

They were planting, chopping firewood, and building new houses...

They were doing physically demanding work, but they had a completely relaxed and contented expression on their faces.

Cao He, the city lord, was even more ashen-faced.

Because he had already discovered that several of the fairy servants had clearly seen him.

But instead of being afraid, they didn't kneel down; instead, they turned around and hummed a little tune, going about their own business the next second...

"Young Master Lin!"

Suddenly, all the celestial servants in front bowed respectfully toward the path extending from the slums.

Cao He and the Snow-Haired Lion Demon immediately composed themselves and stood at attention.

Lin Heng strolled over leisurely with two celestial servants, kindly reminding the surrounding servants, "Go about your business. Leave work on time this afternoon. We might not be home tonight."

"Oh, and remember not to leave early. Otherwise, you'll lose the two spirit stones attendance bonus this month."

"Of course not!"

The celestial servants immediately expressed their opinions.

But the Snow-Haired Lion Demon and Cao He exchanged glances.

Leaving early?

Attendance?

What the hell is that?!

Most importantly, those celestial servants ignored City Lord Cao He, but showed genuine respect because of Lin Heng's appearance...

Before Cao He and the other two could think further, Lin Heng had already brought Mu Tinglan and Yun Qinghe to them with a smile.

He looked at Cao He with a smile and said, "So it's the City Lord who has arrived."

"Come up."

Cao He nodded to the snow-maned lion demon beside him.

Then, the snow-maned lion demon waved to the soldiers behind him.

Four soldiers carried a huge box to the front and then opened it.

In an instant, a surge of pure spiritual energy washed over me.

Inside, there was a whole box full of spirit stones!

"Lin Heng".

The snow-maned lion demon said to Lin Heng, "The city lord has shown great sincerity today by appointing you as the granary chief of Linxian City. You will receive the same generous reward every year."

But Cao He, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but frown.

Faced with a box full of spirit stones, Lin Heng simply glanced at it indifferently.

Not only him, but also the two celestial servants beside him.

Those who were once able to cultivate immortality using spiritual energy should have been even more eager for spirit stones.

But why did they all look so calm?

There was even some disdain...

whispering sound.

Yun Qinghe silently cursed in her heart with a cold face.

That's all the spirit stones? And it will take another year to get them?

Who do they think they are?!

This box doesn't even contain as many spirit stones as I collected in two days.

If you're lucky, you'll get all double-yolk eggs, maybe even in just one day...

At the same time, Lin Heng, who was still smiling, shook his head: "Sorry, I'll say it again, I have no interest in being an official."

The snow-maned lion demon immediately glared at him: "Lin Heng, don't be so arrogant! Linxian City has only just experienced the demonic tide. Once we finish rebuilding..."

"etc."

Cao He immediately interrupted the Snow-Maned Lion Demon.

At this very moment, Lin Heng was leaning lazily against a stone tower beside him, watching them with interest: "What? Planning to arrest me again?"

"..."

The snow-maned lion demon immediately fell silent.

Cao He calmly waved his hand, signaling the soldiers who brought the treasure chest to step back.

After all, he never expected to buy off an ambitious person who wanted to occupy territory and become king with just a box of spirit stones...

"Lin Heng, I know your plans."

Cao He looked at Lin Heng and said, "But this is not my true sincerity today."

Lin Heng simply nodded his chin at him, signaling him to continue.

But this attitude allowed Cao He to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

In Linxian City, no one dared to adopt such a condescending attitude in front of him...

However, considering his own plans, Cao He slowly spoke, "Some of my men have already inquired. Have you been searching for fairies with connections in the Immortal Realm recently?"

"What? You want to give me a fairy slave?" Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

He knew that Cao He, as the city lord of Linxian City, would never be so kind.

"She is no ordinary fairy."

Cao He shook his head and replied irrelevantly, "Although she is young, her background is that of a successor to the position of an ancient sect."
