After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.
Chapter 50 The Dark Side of the City Lord's Mansion
Guided by Cao He and his group, Lin Heng and the other two followed behind and entered Linxian City.
It had been almost half a month since I last entered the city, but the street scene in Linxian City was still the same scene of broken walls and ruins.
The city has become much quieter due to the exodus of wealthy businessmen.
The only place that seemed somewhat lively was probably the streets of the market, where there were more demons begging for food with bowls in hand, and quasi-immortal slaves abandoned by demon merchants...
After that demonic tide, it seems that no reconstruction work was carried out in Linxian City.
This is clearly unreasonable...
However, when Lin Heng finally saw the City Lord's Mansion, he knew exactly how far the reconstruction of Linxian City had progressed.
Just look at this mansion that stands out so much from the surrounding buildings and you'll understand.
The brand-new walls and newly laid bricks and tiles clearly indicate that the renovation was only recently completed.
The reconstruction of Linxian City is not about restoring the city's economy, but rather takes priority over the renovation of the city lord's mansion.
Lin Heng knew that this was the mindset of most people in the world after entering the Demon Calendar.
Against the backdrop of not knowing when they would be submerged by the demonic tide, everyone was thinking about living one day at a time and didn't care about long-term considerations at all.
This naturally includes Cao He, the city lord of Linxian City.
……
They paused briefly in front of the mansion.
Cao He waved his hand, signaling the soldiers around him to guard the entrance.
"Lord Caohe."
The snow-maned lion demon leaned closer, looking at him with some concern.
Cao He said casually, "Bringing them along is useless. Lin Heng must have come prepared."
"That……"
"Let's stick to the plan."
"yes!"
Turning his head, Cao He looked at Lin Heng and the other two behind him.
"Come with me, the fairy is in my residence."
After that, only the Snow-Maned Lion Demon and Cao He remained to lead the way.
"Lord City Lord!"
Upon entering the mansion, Lin Heng and his companions, in addition to the servants who greeted Cao He, finally witnessed the fate of the celestial slaves within the city lord's mansion.
"Even after the demonic tide, it's still the same as before."
Mu Tinglan took a deep breath. The surrounding scenery was almost exactly the same as she remembered.
At the entrance of each room in the city lord's mansion, a celestial servant was tied to the door and knelt on the ground to guard it.
Beside them were two porcelain bowls with broken rims.
One bowl contained half a bowl of water, while the other bowl occasionally had some rotten vegetable leaves left on its inner wall...
At this moment, a shifty-eyed servant greeted Cao He respectfully and then passed by the door of a house.
He brazenly patted the face of the maidservant in front of the door, then slapped her across the plump chest: "Watch closely, the City Lord's Mansion has guests today!"
This city lord's mansion... is really no different from a guard dog.
Yun Qinghe lowered her head and pondered. Even when she was captured by the demon and about to be sold, she never expected that the fairy slave would end up like this.
After all, for ordinary people living in the city, celestial servants are often used as tools for venting their frustrations and containers for nourishing their spiritual roots.
In this absurd city lord's mansion, even the immortal servants are not considered tools.
"Senior sister, did you live in an environment like this before?"
"Hush," Yun Qinghe asked Mu Tinglan with a voice full of sympathy.
"Um."
Mu Tinglan nodded slightly, but her expression was much calmer than Yun Qinghe's.
"So, my senior sister used to be treated just as badly..."
"I'm alright, I'm quite lucky."
Mu Tinglan shook her head, interrupting Yun Qinghe, and said, "Because when I was captured, Cao He designated me as a future celestial slave for the Snow-Maned Lion Demon's son, so no one dared to lay a hand on me."
"That's alright."
Yun Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief.
"certainly."
At this moment, Mu Tinglan smiled gently and looked at Lin Heng beside them: "Meeting your master is an even more fortunate thing."
"Um!"
Yun Qinghe nodded without a doubt.
Not only Mu Tinglan, but she also increasingly felt that, apart from their current master, there was probably no other slave master who would give them the freedom and equality they had now.
As they delved deeper into the city lord's mansion, they discovered an increasing number of immortal servants living in dire straits.
Not only were they used as guard dogs and tools for amusement, Mu Tinglan also pointed to the sheep and cattle farms on the other side of the city lord's mansion wall, where the immortal slaves were kept...
For Lin Heng, this was the first time he had ever seen such a sight.
As a transmigrator from civilized society, even though he was becoming more and more familiar with the current state of the world, he still underestimated the extremely dark side that people would show under the impact of the demonic tide.
Clearly, this scene is impacting his values and understanding.
But he did gain something from this trip...
[Immortal Slave Yun Qinghe's Loyalty +3]
[Immortal Slave Yun Qinghe's Loyalty +1]
[Immortal Slave Yun Qinghe's Loyalty +2]
……
Because of the stark contrast, the Immortal Slave Handbook kept reporting that Yun Qinghe's loyalty was increasing.
After Cao He led them into a dark room, Yun Qinghe's loyalty had increased by 79 points!
At the same time, Mu Tinglan walked to Lin Heng's side and whispered, "Master, this room is where the fairies are imprisoned, and it's also... where I used to stay."
I guessed it.
Lin Heng nodded slightly.
Look ahead.
The spacious room was not furnished much, except for a series of iron cages crisscrossed with cast iron.
However, due to the recent special circumstances in Linxian City, there are no fairies in these iron cages.
The iron shackles hanging on the ground and the stacked and tangled chains in the iron cage are enough to tell what this room used to look like.
Apart from the group that had just entered, there was only one servant in the entire house responsible for guarding it.
"Lord City Lord."
After greeting Cao He, the guard turned his gaze to the Snow-Haired Lion Demon: "Lord Snow-Haired has arrived as well? Your young master also visited the manor yesterday and strolled around here."
"What is he doing here?" the snow-maned lion demon asked in surprise.
"He said he wanted to see if his uncle had any fresh fairy maids left for him to enjoy."
The guard looked at Cao He and said with a smile, "Lord Xuebin's son said he's been wanting to drink milk lately."
"Then find a few celestial servants in the manor and capture them to the cattle farm."
Cao He waved his hand and glanced at the snow-maned lion demon beside him.
The snow-maned lion demon immediately understood and said to the guard in a deep voice, "Do your job well. Have you forgotten Lord Caohe's instructions? No one is allowed to enter here without Lord Caohe's permission! Including my son."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The guard quickly replied, "So after the young master came here yesterday, I hurriedly sent him back... In the end, the young master even asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek with him."
"Alright, let's get down to business."
The snow-maned lion demon was clearly not interested in hide-and-seek or anything like that, and waved his hand at him.
"Yes, sir."
The guard walked respectfully ahead and opened the innermost side door of the house for Cao He and the Snow-Maned Lion Demon.
"That should be the room where the fairies form the slave spirit seal."
As they followed, Mu Tinglan said to Lin Heng beside her, "But I've never been there. I only know that the fairies are always taken in and it takes them a very long time to come out."
But just as they walked over, the guard's gaze fell on Mu Tinglan: "She is...?"
"What's wrong?"
Cao He and the Snow-Maned Lion Demon immediately stopped and looked at the guard with suspicion.
The guard hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Lin Heng and his companions were clearly keeping a distance from Cao He and the Snow-Maned Lion Demon, he whispered to Cao He, "Lord City Lord, are they guests who have come to visit?"
Cao He calmly glanced at Lin Heng and the others behind him: "Originally, he did have the opportunity to be a guest of my residence... What? You know him?"
"No, no, no."
The guard quickly shook his head: "I don't recognize that young man, but I have a deep impression of the purple-clad fairy servant behind him."
"Um?"
Cao He and the Snow-Haired Lion Demon looked at each other.
After all, people in their positions wouldn't bother to remember a particular fairy servant.
But the guard in this prison was absolutely certain: "Lord Xuebin, have you forgotten? She is the full-moon gift that the city lord gave to your young master..."
"Full moon celebration..."
and many more!
The snow-maned lion demon was suddenly taken aback.
So the fairy who escaped from his mansion was the purple-clad fairy servant beside Lin Heng?
