[Okay, okay, my little ancestor, you should also rest early. I can change my body, but you can't.]

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the scandal auction. When Gan Yuelong told her the final number of participants, Shen Yuelan still didn't believe it. How could 700,000 people be more than the population under her rule?

[What…what’s going on? I don’t remember sending out so many invitations. And that thing doesn’t record so many scandals, right?]

[Haha, do you know what it means to have a guilty conscience? Every one of these 700,000 people has done something shameful in Maixia Town. Remember to save the list of participants. It may come in handy in the future.]

[Eh? Isn't this just another version of the Records of Officials? Then what's the point of holding this auction? ]

[What's the point? To make money, dispel suspicions from all sides, and allow the Baiguanxingshu to be reborn in a new way. Otherwise, why do you think the other world would spend so much effort to hold this auction? ]

[I see, money laundering, right? ]

[Tsk, just keep it to yourself, why tell it to others? Be careful, the walls have ears. ]

Shen Yuelan twitched her lips. Since she could easily figure out this wave of operations, how could the 700,000 political leaders not know about it? Would they still need walls to eavesdrop?

[What do you know? Even if they know what we want to do, what can they do? They still have to come to the auction honestly? Do you know what an open conspiracy is? This is an open conspiracy! ]

[Do you think they want to come? They don’t want to come. The reason they come here is that their enemies force them to come, their relatives force them to come, and the fear in their hearts forces them to come.]

[Sister Yuelong, then they... won't retaliate, right? ]

[Revenge? Humph, it's too late. After the invitation to the auction was sent out, they couldn't and didn't dare to do anything to us, because all the eyes of the world were focused on this. Whoever dared to act rashly would become the real target of public criticism.]

[Do you really think Hua Liluo is a vegetarian? She is one of the founders of the current world political situation. I have praised her lavishly, but not a single word is superfluous. You still have a lot to learn from your master.]

[I recognize Sister Hua's ability, Sister Yuelong, when can you teach me a lesson? It's not good to always run to Sister Hua when something happens. ]

[Stop talking so much. Your master's expertise has never been in international gaming. Instead, it's in combat. Your master is a tough guy born for combat!]

[Really? But I remember that when we first met, you were beaten up by the guys in the prison and you even shouted to shoot at me?]

Because Gan Yuelong had his back to her when he spoke, Shen Yuelan did not see it. Gan Yuelong's face turned red when he heard this. At this moment, Gan Yuelong was trying to make up for the boast he made.

[Um...you...your master's expertise has never been in fighting, but in handling political affairs. Your master is a politician born to handle political affairs! ]

[Oh, what you said seems to make some sense, then why did you ask Sister Hua for help? ]

Shen Yuelan regretted saying this as soon as she finished writing it, because she saw Gan Yuelong turned around, tilted his head, and looked at her with a sneer on his face. It's over, she's going to get beaten!

Thirty-six strategies, go ahead!

Before Gan Yuelong could get angry, Shen Yuelan immediately fled from Gan Yuelong's side, leaving Gan Yuelong alone cursing.

Shen Yuelan did not participate in the specific details of the auction, nor did she want to know. After all, the more she knew, the more likely it was that something would go wrong. Therefore, after helping to complete the preparations, Shen Yuelan retreated to the second line and hid back in her home.

The once deserted courtyard was kept very tidy by Little Fox and Su Jiu. The two thousand Song Dynasty imperial guards were still stationed here, tirelessly producing fine wine to supply all over the world.

They are Shen Yuelan's most loyal guards, but relatively speaking, their level of evolution is far less rapid than Qin Ruishi. After all, since they returned last time, they have been responsible for guarding the courtyard and rarely go out to fight.

Now, Qin Ruishi and his men have followed Shen Suchang and others into the sea of stars. Shen Yuelan has no soldiers available for the time being. In addition, the wine factory in Quanxin World has officially started operation, and its output far exceeds that of the courtyard workshop.

Therefore, there is no longer much need for the Song Imperial Army to continue to engage in production work. Except for Su Jiu who occasionally comes back to use the workshop, it has become more of a teaching base and a building with the nature of a museum.

[We no longer need to keep so many people here. Let Su Jiu come back to look after the family. I will call back all the Song imperial guards. Otherwise, I will not have the confidence to go to the Warring States Period again.]

[Oh, by the way, we have to go to the cemetery. Alas, there are a few more residents. ]

Although she had the help of the Imperial Guards, it was not an easy task to sort out the spoils that she had not had time to sort out before. It was not until the pointer turned to the early morning that Shen Yuelan finished the process. For this, she was scolded by Huan Yan and had to stay up late again!

Just as she was about to go to bed dejectedly, a figure outside the wall suddenly caught Shen Yuelan's attention. Although the person was dirty, Shen Yuelan still recognized his true identity, the Queen, now called Clivia.

Although she really wanted to mock her, Shen Yuelan's skills in cultivating her Qi had improved greatly and she successfully controlled her mouth. Instead, she brought the poor Clivia back home.

Seeing Clivia, who was once full of vigor and vitality and clamored to support Shen Yuelan, now in such a miserable and cowardly state, Shen Yuelan was puzzled. Although it was not easy to survive in the inner world, that was relative to ordinary people.

Clivia is also a civil servant in the other world, how could it be like this? I have never heard of that bureau that only asks people to work but does not pay them?

Clivia, who was eating, glared at Shen Yuelan with resentment when she heard this. Amid her soft sobs, Shen Yuelan finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that although Clivia did obtain the identity of a civil servant in the other world, she did not get a crucial thing, that is, the identity certificate of the other world. Clivia's thing was given to Shen Yuelan by Shangguan Xi at that time.

This resulted in Clivia, who entered the other world prematurely, being unable to complete identity verification and becoming an illegal resident. Illegal residents are not allowed to get jobs, and without a job, there was naturally no way Clivia could get any other benefits.

When Clivia was kicked out of the company, she was confused. Where is my identity card for the other world? Who should issue this thing to me? Although it was a bad start, Clivia was not discouraged. She planned to take it step by step.

First she had to figure out where her otherworldly identity card had gone, and then find a way to get it back. It took her several weeks to finally find Shangguan Xi and ask her to send her the otherworldly identity card.

But she learned a shocking bad news from Shangguan Xi, that is, her identity certificate had been issued, and because of her close relationship with Shen Yuelan, it was sent to Shen Yuelan together.

But what made her even more devastated was that Shen Yuelan had left the other world not long ago, and she didn't know when she would come back. Clivia had no choice but to squat outside Shen Yuelan's courtyard and wait for her return.

[But it’s been a while since I came back, why haven’t I seen you? ]

[I need to eat too. Some time ago, I had a job catching fairies, and the food was provided. I thought you wouldn't be able to come back for a while, so I went there for a while. I have a special fairy here. Do you want it? ]

[Well, you should eat first and have a good rest. We will study this again tomorrow. If it is good, I will buy it from you at the market price.]

[By the way, this is your ID. I received it after you left. I was still in the surface world at the time and didn't know where to contact you. I thought you would come to me after you knew about this, so I forgot about it.]

[I didn't expect it would take so long. I'm really sorry. 】

Chapter 258 Fairy World

[Oh, it doesn't matter. I've been through a lot during this period and have grown a lot. At least now I'm not so emotionally unstable and my personality is not so paranoid.]

[Oh? You changed it? Is that true?]

[Really, really, I lost my temper a few times when I was working, and as a result, I was kicked out by my boss and I was not paid. I was hungry for many days because of this. Since then, I never dare to lose my temper casually again. ]

[Hahaha, this is a good thing for you. What are your plans after getting your identity card back? Will you go back to work?]

[Tsk, can't you just support me for a while? This look now is the most beautiful I've ever been. I chose it on purpose. Look at this face, isn't it tender? Look at this figure, isn't it enchanting? You won't suffer any loss.]

To be honest, when she was thirteen or fourteen years old, Clivia was indeed a charmingly pure beauty. If she had not been in the inner world, a world that could not be purer, she would have been known as the most beautiful girl in four thousand years.

It's a pity that in this other world where people can be freely manipulated, her appearance can only be described as relatively distinctive. Of course, the most important thing is her age. Shen Yuelan is really a little embarrassed to say it.

[Tsk, why are you pretending? I'm not really thirteen or fourteen years old. I'm a thousand-year-old fox. I can play however I want. But I haven't tasted meat for a long time. Can you make it up to me tonight? ]

[You really are a stubborn person. I just can't figure it out. What on earth made you so persistent? Why are you still thinking about me? ]

[Hehe, actually, it doesn't seem like a big deal now, but if you really want me to say it, you are the first person in my life that I love but cannot have, so I always have an urge to possess you.]

[Although I am not as paranoid as I was before, I still want to give it a try if I have the chance. After all, you are such a beautiful woman, lying in front of me like this, it would be a waste if I don't sleep with you.]

Shen Yuelan was almost pissed off by this bastard. Although his personality did improve, there were not many changes in other aspects. He even regressed a lot in terms of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame.

It seems that this guy will not change his bad habits in the short term. Although there will be no problem if she just hands over the documents to her and leaves them alone, out of a sense of responsibility, Shen Yuelan still decides to take her in for a while.

[Okay, take a rest. You haven't been tired after wandering outside for so many days. Go take a shower after dinner. Really, there isn't much dust in the world. Where did you go to make it so dirty? ]

[Hehehe, you don't know this, right? Since Lanlan doesn't need me to sleep with her, I'll go back to my room and wash up. It's too late today, I'll tell you tomorrow.]

[Hey, hey, you'll get struck by lightning if you stop talking halfway! I finally got interested.]

[Oh, I can't help it. Your little witch has been glaring at me all night. If I don't let you go back to rest, she will probably eat me alive.]

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuelan looked towards Shen Huanyan in the corner, only to see the little fellow pointing in the direction of Clivia angrily and making a gesture of wiping her neck. It seemed that Huanyan wanted to kill Clivia, and she was not just talking.

[Um, okay, you take a rest first, we'll talk tomorrow. ]

After getting the permission, Clivia rushed back to the room as if there was some ferocious beast behind her, even though she looked so lovely.

【Owner!】

[Ah, I see, I see. I'll rest now.]

At Shen Huanyan's strong request, no one spoke all night until the next morning, when Shen Yuelan was having breakfast, when she heard the topic she wanted to know.

[Lanlan has been in the inner world for such a long time, she should know that the most common shikigami in the inner world are not enchanting girls like your Huanyan, but fairies who have mastered a variety of skills, right?]

[You know, before Huanyan came, my biggest dream was to buy a few fairies to help me clean. ]

[Haha, what a simple wish. I just caught a few here. You can take a look at them later. It doesn’t matter if I give them all to you. They are all cheap goods that you can’t buy at a high price anyway.]

[Cheap stuff? Are fairies still divided into different levels? ]

[Yes, the main source of fairy servants in our inner world is the fairy outer world that was defeated and captured. There are many tribes in that world. The stronger the tribe, the easier it is to produce fairies with multiple skills, and vice versa.]

[Generally speaking, the more skills a fairy has, the more expensive she is, unless her skills are rare enough. The ones I have are fairies that only have ordinary skills, so they can't be sold for much money.]

[I see, besides buying fairies at the Fairy Shop, you can actually catch them yourself? ]

[Yes, this is not a secret. The coordinates of the fairy world can be easily found. However, most people would rather spend money than go to the fairy world. After all, it is difficult to catch a suitable one, and they have to train and eliminate hostility afterwards.]

[In short, it is very troublesome, so there are generally only a few fairly powerful companies in the fairy world that are engaged in fairy capture work, which is also the reason why fairies are so expensive. ]

[Hearing you say that, I kind of want to go and have a look. ]

[What are you going there for? I remember that you not only have several enchanters, but also ghosts, and your skills also come with multiple shikigami. There is no reason for you to go to the fairy world, right? ]

[Hey, just think of me as someone who is bored and wants to broaden my horizons.]

[Humph, do you really need to learn that? Let me guess, it should be related to the auction held in the other world these two days? It is obviously a grand event that everyone is flocking to, but you are doing it instead. ]

[I was hoping you would take me in to have a look, what's going on now? ]

[Humph, you know nothing. Your so-called grand event is much more dangerous than you think. It might cost us our lives. Why are you just messing around? ]

[Uh, is it that serious? I just want to watch the fun.]

[Be good, listen to me, don't join in the fun, the water is deep in there. Let's go to the fairy world tomorrow and see if we can catch a few rare fairies. Then I'll give you one so you can have a companion.]

[Okay, I'm new here, so I don't know a lot of the inside story. I'll tell you whatever you want to say, but are we just the three of us going to catch one? The world of fairies is huge, and with just a few of us, we may not even be able to encounter a single fairy in a long while.]

[Don't worry, I'll take care of everything, just lead the way.]

Chapter 259 Fairy Park

After simple preparations, Shen Yuelan took Clivia to the legendary fairy world that day, accompanied by Shen Huanyan and Su Jiu.

The two little guys had been depressed by work for too long, and when they heard that they could go out and play, they immediately put down their work and ran out.

Shen Yuelan naturally had no objection to this. She saw their hard work and what was wrong with them wanting to go out and catch a goblin? Shen Yuelan expressed her support for this.

Because the industrial chain in the fairy world is already quite mature, it didn't take much effort for them to enter a hunting park owned by a hunting company to play.

[This is the park under the name of Artemis Hunting Company. I used to work for their company, helping clients hunt fairies. The fairies here are semi-captive, so their temperaments are much more docile than those in the wild.]

[Basically, after you catch them, if you meet a few of their small requests, they will follow you resignedly. It is more troublesome to catch them in the wild. One client I worked with refused to believe in evil and insisted on leaving the park to catch wild goblins.]

[After more than ten days of hard work, we finally caught three wild goblins, but none of them had any special abilities and it was difficult to tame them, so we had to sell them to a hunting company for breeding at a low price.]

[Breeding? Why does this sound so much like the slave trade? ]

[Hey, don't talk nonsense about slave trade. We have a mutually beneficial relationship with the fairy tribe here. Not only do they send their own people to the other world to work, they also sell the captured captives to us for use.]

[We will provide them with shelter and ensure that their territory will not be occupied by other fairy tribes. This is an equal treaty. Many fairy tribes want to sign it but cannot.]

Shen Yuelan twitched her lips when she heard this, and said that it was not the slave trade, the routine was exactly the same. However, as a vested interest, Shen Yuelan only muttered a few times in her heart.

Although she felt pity for the goblins, she had no interest in being their savior. There must be something hateful about pitiful people. How do you know that they are not doing it voluntarily?

The goblin hunting activity started soon. Shen Yuelan naturally did not plan to take just a few people to catch goblins. From Clivia's perspective, hundreds of Song imperial guards appeared behind Shen Yuelan in the blink of an eye, looking very terrifying.

[Eh!! What's going on? Who are you? What do you want to do? ]

Seeing Clivia getting a little angry, Shen Yuelan was slightly stunned, but she quickly reacted. Although Clivia had fought with her before, she had never seen the process of her summoning Qin Ruishi, let alone the Song Imperial Guards who had never appeared.

[Ah, it's okay, it's okay, just touch their fur, they are not scary, they are my skill shikigami, you clearly talked about them before, why are you so scared? ]

[Eh? But...but, I remember that the templates of your skill shikigami should all be Qin Ruishi? They seem to be different? ]

[Yes, they are not Qin Ruishi. They are Song imperial guards from more than a thousand years later. I subdued them when I was on a mission before. How about it? Not bad, right? This is the most prosperous moment for this branch of soldiers.]

[This... Do you still have 100,000 troops like this? ]

[Haha, of course not. The largest number of guards in front of the palace is only more than 2,000 people. And because the scope of the park is limited, I didn't dare to summon more. Now there are only a few hundred people behind us. ]

[Oh my god, that's amazing! This is the first time I've seen a skill that can actively expand the range of a shikigami. Alas, hundreds of people? Enough for us to search the park thoroughly. No, Lanlan, summon all your two thousand imperial guards. Let's go to the wild area, okay?]

[Eh? Didn't you say it would be better to stay in the park? Why are you going to the wild area again? ]

[Ah, this is a different time. Didn't I forget that you still have this ability? With just a few of us, we can play in the park, but if we have 2,000 people, we can give it a try in the wild area.]

[Although it's not nice to speak ill of the old company behind their backs, there really aren't any outstanding fairies in the park. Even if there were, Artemis Safari Company wouldn't allow us to take them away because of their vested interests.]

[Will they not care if we leave the park? ]

[Heh, they're eager for us to leave the park, so why would they stop us? ]

Under Clivia's constant instigation, Shen Yuelan and others changed direction and headed towards the deeper fairy wilderness.
