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

After the meal officially began, Bai Ma Meiduo chatted with Lin Heng casually, but she never mentioned the spirit stones and the transaction of the immortal slaves that Lin Heng was most concerned about.

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

"But these two celestial servants..."

Bai Ma Meiduo didn't say it aloud, but she felt in her heart that the two fairy servants accompanying Lin Heng were somewhat unruly.

She had her subordinates prepare special foods from the Western Regions.

As a result, the fairy in white only ate two mouthfuls of rice before putting down her chopsticks.

Another red-haired fairy went even further, taking out several spiritual herbs and eating them...

Isn't this blatantly expressing dissatisfaction with the food she prepared?

The fact that the young slave master and the celestial slaves were eating at the same table was already the greatest favor the young master had ever done for them, yet they still complained.

If it were her own fairy servants, they would probably have been sent to the horse farm for extra training long ago.

However, this scene reminded Baima Meiduo of her eldest daughter, who had not yet arrived at Linxian Mountain...

"Lord Lin Heng, it's still early. Why don't you take a stroll around the exchange first? As for Xiannu, I'll invite you over later when it's more appropriate."

After dinner, Baima Meiduo also took the initiative to arrange evening activities for Lin Heng.

"In that case, I'll go back first."

After Lin Heng stood up, he smiled and said to her, "After all, if Lady Meiduo only wants to exchange grain, my fairy servants can also use the grain to buy some things they need at the trading house."

Baima Meiduo was stunned for a moment.

Although she could tell from Lin Heng's words that he was actually testing her motives beyond exchanging food.

But she didn't understand the literal meaning of Lin Heng's words.

What does it mean that even celestial servants can use grain to buy things?

Could it be that his celestial servants actually had the right to hoard food without permission?

This is simply unheard of...

"Very well, since Lord Lin Heng has made arrangements, I naturally have no objections."

With a seductive flick of her fox tail, Bai Ma Meiduo simply nodded, still not revealing her true intentions.

At least until tonight's probing ends, she will absolutely not easily reveal her purpose.

"See you later, Mrs. Meadow."

"Um."

After a brief farewell, Lin Heng led Yun Qinghe and Song Jingyu back to the small courtyard in the slum.

"Owner."

Inside the house, Mu Tinglan had just finished her meal.

Upon seeing Lin Heng and the others return, she stood up and greeted Lin Heng, "It seems your trip to the Sand Fox family went smoothly?"

Lin Heng nodded: "Yes, there will be an exchange over there tonight where you can exchange food for other goods. Tell everyone about it, and if anyone needs anything, they can take their food and go there to buy it."

[Immortal Slave Mu Tinglan's Loyalty +1]

"Should you go buy it yourself?"

Mu Tinglan looked at Lin Heng in surprise.

Although she had learned about the situation over the past few days, she also knew that her master had granted the fairy servants a great deal of freedom.

But being able to make decisions about buying things on your own...

This is even freer than being in a sect in the immortal realm!

"Well, as for you guys..."

Lin Heng turned his gaze to Mu Tinglan and the other two.

They work for me, and I share everything with them; they're essentially eating the government's food.

Therefore, unlike the other celestial servants, they did not have a special portion of food to take home and store.

So Lin Heng arranged, "If there's anything you want to buy, just exchange some of the grain in the warehouse for it."

[Immortal Slave Mu Tinglan's loyalty +1, now 274]

[Immortal Slave Yun Qinghe's loyalty +1, now 90]

"Thank you, Master."

Yun Qinghe and Mu Tinglan expressed their heartfelt gratitude.

Only Song Jingyu looked at Lin Heng with curiosity and asked, "Can I also go and buy spirit herb seeds?"

"Just don't empty the warehouse of grain."

Lin Heng doesn't impose any restrictions on them.

Song Jingyu's loyalty has increased by 3, now it's 14.

"I want to go too!"

Song Jingyu was eager to try.

Lin Heng pointed at Mu Tinglan and said, "Then you can go with her to deliver the message to everyone."

"Okay, okay!"

Song Jingyu turned to Mu Tinglan: "Shall we set off now?"

"Let's go, little sister. You'll have to go to the exchange later and see if there are any spiritual herbs that can enhance your strength as a celestial slave."

"The strength of the Immortal Slave?"

"Hehe, of course it means... the same strength as your sister and me."

"...That wretched auntie."

"What did you call me?!"

"Say something about your aunt!"

"Hmph, forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with a little brick like you."

"..."

As long as she could obtain the seeds of the spiritual herb, she wouldn't even mind going out with Mu Tinglan, who always teased her...

At this moment, Lin Heng also turned his gaze to Yun Qinghe.

From the moment he entered the house, he noticed that Yun Qinghe's eyes seemed to be constantly fixed on the dining table.

"Master, tonight... do we still need to soak in the Immortal Spring?"

At this moment, Yun Qinghe asked Lin Heng uncertainly.

After all, Baima Meiduo's side never showed any hostility from beginning to end; on the contrary, they treated them with friendliness.

"No."

Lin Heng shook his head.

After understanding the Sand Fox Clan's attitude, he felt that the few spiritual herbs he carried with him were enough for self-defense, and there was no need for excessive preparation.

Furthermore, since the camp is so close to the slums, if any accident were to occur, he could easily return to the range of the Spirit Suppression Tower array.

"That……"

Yun Qinghe hesitated, but her gaze toward the dining table became increasingly obvious.

"Eat it yourself, your senior sister left some anyway."

"Thank you, Master!"

Yun Qinghe was overjoyed and went to the kitchen to get new bowls and chopsticks to eat without any more worries.

Lin Heng leisurely walked out of the house and tended to the spiritual herbs he had planted in the courtyard.

Soon, a fairy slave from the slums passed by and expressed his gratitude for allowing him to go to the exchange, and sincerely promised to work even harder for him in the future.

Lin Heng smiled calmly.

He knew that he had achieved his goal.

Letting the celestial servants shop on their own, using the rewards they usually earn here to exchange for the items they want, can increase their sense of happiness with their current situation.

An increased sense of happiness can also motivate them to contribute to the territory.

This is something that even the Slave Spirit Seal and the Immortal Slave Manual cannot do.

……

"Young Master Lin!"

Not long after, Xia Feng returned from the direction near Linxian City.

"Didn't you go to the Western Regions where the demons dwell? Why are you coming back from here?"

"Don't even mention it, damn it. When I got there, those demons from the Western Regions said the exchange wouldn't open until night... I was even planning to take a few Western Region slaves back with me!"

Xia Feng walked over, grumbling, and said, "Anyway, I don't have much to do all day, so this afternoon I went to the outer perimeter to exchange some knowledge about spiritual herbs with those old demons."

"Sharing knowledge about medicinal herbs?"

Lin Heng was surprised. Why was this guy also interested in spirit herbs?

"You didn't know this, did you? Come on, let me share one with you!"

Xia Feng rubbed his hands together mischievously and leaned closer, saying, "For example, the best way to use the 'Strengthening Grass' isn't to ingest it, but to boil it into a juice, let it cool, and then apply it to the fairy slave's body... Hehe!"

"..."

Oh, right!

Upon seeing Lin Heng, Xia Feng seemed to recall something: "That little red tiger came by again this afternoon and told me to make sure to bring this news to you."

"What news?" Lin Heng asked.

Xia Feng truthfully replied, "He said he took some men to the City Lord's Mansion to check, and it seems the Snow-Maned Lion Demon has already left Linxian City, but he doesn't know exactly where it went. Also... that guy called... what's his name?"

"General Administration?" Lin Heng looked at him in confusion.

"Yes, yes, that's the General Command!"

Xia Feng nodded repeatedly and said, "That little red tiger said that when Linxian City held its celebration, an elder from the General Administration Division stayed in the City Lord's Mansion, but even after Linxian City was destroyed, that old fellow from the General Administration Division never showed up again..."

……

Meanwhile, inside the Sand Fox Clan's camp, Baima Meiduo had her son, Dorje, gather all the special fairies in the clan.

They have one thing in common: before the invasion of the demonic tide, they were all fox spirits in the immortal realm who had bewitched countless male cultivators.

When these fox spirits were brought here, their faces showed neither the numbness of those trained, nor the despair of ordinary fairy servants. Instead, they chatted and laughed with each other, looking quite relaxed.

Even Dorje, who was leading the way for them, put on a smile: "Sisters, my mother is over there."

"lady."

Only after seeing Baima Meiduo did the fox spirits finally quiet down.

Baima Meiduo cut to the chase: "Tonight, I need you to serve a great man. If you serve him well, I will reward you with a treasure personally passed down by the Five Elements Immortal Venerable."

One of the slender fox spirits winked seductively, "Madam is too kind. Our charm is irresistible even to Nascent Soul Realm Immortal Venerables in the Immortal Realm, let alone a mere servant master?"

"He's different."

Bai Ma Meiduo shook her head and said, "Besides, serving her tonight isn't about you earning spirit stones from them."

"Not earning spirit stones? Then it is..."

The fox spirits looked at each other in bewilderment.

"On the contrary, I will give him spirit stones."

"what?"

"But there's a prerequisite."

A slight smile curved Bai Ma Meiduo's lips. "You must do everything you can to make him satisfy all of your spiritual roots, especially your insatiable water spiritual root..."
