Are fairies like you worthy of bringing evil to me?

The fat woman was so frightened that her legs went weak and she quickly knelt on the ground. The maids around her also knelt down one after another.

"Butler Hua, you are so arrogant. When will it be your turn to have the final say in the Su family?"

A dog is a dog. She even dares to take the master's seat and speak nonsense in front of her master. I guess ten heads are not enough for her to lose.

Housekeeper Hua was lying on the ground with cold sweat on her face. She regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.

Damn it, damn it, damn it, it’s all Ling’er’s fault for talking back to me. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have said these words.

"Miss, I was wrong, Miss. It was all because of that little bastard who stole my money and deliberately provoked me that I said such rude words. She deliberately tempted me to say such words!"

With death imminent, Butler Hua racked his brains to shift the blame. Besides, this little girl has always been disliked by the young lady. Perhaps this way of shifting the blame can help the young lady divert her hatred and get rid of this little bastard.

"You, you are talking nonsense! I didn't, miss, I really didn't!"

Ling'er said in panic. She never thought that housekeeper Hua would be so despicable as to throw dirty water on Ling'er.

"I see. Please get up, Butler Hua."

Xian Yao said this, and housekeeper Hua was overjoyed. She didn't expect that the young lady actually forgave her. It turned out that it was the right choice to put the blame on the person the young lady hated the most at this time.

"Miss, I really didn't say that. I was wronged!"

"Nonsense, you even dared to steal my money, what else can't you do? I have served the Su family diligently for decades, and you have only been here for a few years, and you are still full of complaints in your heart. Miss, she must be extremely resentful of you!"

The words of the housekeeper Hua were full of blood. What does it mean that words can kill people? This is it!

Haha, you little bastard, you want to fight me? You'll just have to accept the punishment for me.

Bang! Suddenly, Xianyao pulled back her hand and knocked the housekeeper Hua to the ground. The crisp sound spread throughout the Su Mansion.

Chapter 11: The torture of the protagonist begins!

Chapter 11: The torture of the protagonist begins!

"He has no respect for his master and even deceives his Lord. How should he be punished according to the family rules?"

There was only coldness in Xianyao's eyes. Butler Hua's schemes and tricks would never work on Xianyao.

Ling'er was originally looked down upon by others, and her original owner, Su Yutong, was not kind to her, so many servants acted unscrupulously and it was no big deal for them to order her around at will, and even bullying her was commonplace.

However, this thirteen-year-old Loli endured it silently.

Housekeeper Hua was really stunned, and Xianyao was a cultivator. Even if her realm was not high, she was much stronger than these uncivilized mortals. This slap made her look as miserable as a dog.

Butler Hua's mouth was full of blood. His old teeth, which were already fragile to begin with, were now popping out, and his face was as red and swollen as a pig's head.

The scene was silent, even Ling'er was frightened. She looked at Xianyao in a white gauze dress. Her silver hair and pink eyes made her look like a fairy from the mortal world. Even though her jade fingers were stained with Butler Hua's blood, she was still so graceful.

"Butler Hua, since you are of such a high rank, you should know how to deal with you according to the family rules, right?"

Housekeeper Hua really felt like her whole face was blown off, but her life was at stake, so she didn't care about that and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Miss, please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again next time. Never again!"

"According to family rules, how should we deal with it?"

Xian Yao asked the question for the third time, and she was determined to punish Butler Hua. Butler Hua's face turned ashen, and blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth onto the ground. He looked extremely miserable.

"According to...according to the family rules...50 strokes of the cane, and then expelled from the family..."

"Yes, Butler Hua is worthy of being Butler Hua. He remembers and listens to these family rules very clearly."

Xian Yao's pink eyes were cold, and she glanced at Butler Hua as if he were a bad person: "In that case, you should do your best to execute it."

“Miss! Miss! Please forgive me. I have served the Su family for so many years. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Please forgive me…!”

Xianyao gave a look, and the group of maids who had been following her hurriedly dragged Butler Hua away. Eventually, Butler Hua's voice disappeared from Xianyao's ears.

"No matter what era, people are always like this."

Xian Yao sighed, and she couldn't help but recall that she had also been ridiculed by countless people before she traveled through time.

Xianyao turned around and looked at Ling'er. Ling'er didn't dare to speak. She didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment.

She was definitely extremely grateful to Xianyao, but when she thought back to her past abuse, she felt scared. However, Xianyao gave her a different feeling.

"Don't thank me. I helped you because I needed you. People without value don't deserve help. Do you understand that?"

Xianyao said calmly. She didn't feel at all that it was great that she had helped a lonely girl. Xianyao was not a saint. She had even remained indifferent to the changes in the world for a long time. She had lived for so long and had seen countless things and countless tragedies, but Xianyao had never intervened.

Save one Ling'er, there are countless Ling'er in the world who need to be saved. Does Xianyao have to help them one by one? All this is the normal development of the world. Why should Xianyao, as an existence on par with the Three Pure Ones, intervene? She is only responsible for mediating when the world is in trouble.

The reason why Xianyao helped was because she thought Ling'er could still be useful after careful consideration. But in Ling'er's opinion, it seemed that this was not the case. Her eyes gradually brightened as she looked at Xianyao.

Miss...seems to have really changed.

"Ling'er, you will be my personal maid for the next few days. I need your help with many things."

In Xianyao's memory, there has never been a person like Ling'er in the history of the Demon Emperor. That is to say, her existence has nothing to do with the future development of the Demon Emperor. She is an irrelevant character, the kind of person whose name will not even be mentioned in the book.

Come to think of it, the Su family was destroyed soon after Lin Ye's rise, and Ling'er might have also died in that disaster. Her fate was destined to be tragic.

Such a person is very useful to Xianyao.

Firstly, Ling'er was originally a maid under Su Yutong, so it wouldn't be too incongruous for her to follow her. Moreover, Ling'er was obedient enough. At the same time, as an irrelevant character, she was not corrupted by the evil spirit, so there was no need to worry about discovering in the end that the person she sent was also corrupted by the evil spirit.

"Can I...can I really...serve you, Miss?"

Ling'er was very cautious, fearing that she had misunderstood something. However, Xianyao turned around and walked quickly towards the main hall.

"Why don't you catch up?"

Xianyao urged, and Ling'er's eyes sparkled with excitement as she happily followed Xianyao's pace.

Miss... you have really become different~

--------split line--------

After a busy day, City Lord Su finally returned to the Su Mansion. At this time, important family members of the Su family would go to the main hall to pay their respects to City Lord Su.

Although they are important members of the family, in fact, there are only City Lord Su’s wife and Su Yutong. In City Lord Su’s eyes, everyone else is just an “outsider”.

Xianyao replaced Su Yutong and greeted City Lord Su according to the original owner's habit. City Lord Su was indeed famous for doting on his daughter. Seeing that his daughter had become so beautiful for some reason, he was both happy and excited. He kept saying that how could the waste of the Lin family be worthy of Xianyao, and that he was right to cancel the engagement.

"My daughter is the best. She brought honor to her father and got the Lin family's property in the south of the city. It's great..."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in City Lord Su's doting eyes. Seeing this, Xian Yao asked, "Is there anything bothering Father?"

"Humph! It's still that cunning fox Lin Zhan!" City Lord Su was so angry when he mentioned this that he slammed the table hard and broke it. "He kept saying that he would give the South City Industry to us, but he delayed it on the grounds that it would take time to move people and materials. The Lin family's South City Industry is a sericulture industry. There will be nothing to earn after this month. If we take over later, not only will it be unprofitable, but we will even have to put in some money. Lin Zhan has become so cunning."

Xian Yao stroked her chin and thought for a moment before saying, "Father, I'm afraid this is not what Uncle Lin Zhan wanted. Someone behind the scenes came up with this idea for him."

Xian Yao remembered that the sericulture industry was the means that Lin Ye later used to deal with the Su family. Since Lin Ye awakened the Supreme Demonic Scripture, not only did his strength increase dramatically, but he also began to use conspiracies and tricks. This idea must have been thought of by Lin Ye for Lin Zhan.

But this is perfect. Although Xian Yao had thought of how to deal with Lin Ye before, she lacked an opportunity. Isn't Lin Ye just coming to her door?

"Father, how about this? Let me handle this matter. I promise that within three days, the Lin family will obediently offer the South City property to us, and they will even beg us to take it away quickly."

Xianyao smiled warmly, but there was a sinister taste hidden under the smile.

Chapter 12 Reimu Hall

Chapter 12 Reimu Hall

What is the best way to get rid of the protagonist? Suppress him severely, torture him until he collapses and doubts his life, and finally seize his weakness and defeat him in one fell swoop!

This was a method Xian Yao had thought through carefully. After all, for those who had reached the pinnacle of life because of a fortuitous encounter and would have a smooth journey in the future, one could imagine how incredible their luck was.

Xian Yao did not bring anyone else with her, only Ling'er. According to what she had promised City Lord Su before, she would make the Lin family obediently give up the property that should have been presented to the Su family.

Ling'er was very nervous. It was the first time for her to go out with her master. Especially when she learned that they were going to do something big, her heart started pounding wildly. She was afraid that she would cause trouble for Xianyao.

However, Xianyao told Ling'er not to be nervous because everything was in her plan.

"Well, Miss, aren't we going to the Lin family's property? Why are we here?"

Ling'er looked at the luxuriously decorated shop in front of her and couldn't help feeling confused.

Lingmengtang, this is the name of this shop, it is the largest spirit stone exchange in Qingshan City, where you can buy spirit stones with silver.

Although spiritual energy has revived in this era and there are abundant spiritual resources everywhere, spirit stones are still a scarce resource and are monopolized by the upper realm. It is not easy for cultivators in the lower realm to obtain spirit stones.

Of course, even so, the spirit stones of this era have depreciated a lot compared to the future. A low-grade spirit stone only costs one hundred taels of silver to buy, and can provide the spiritual energy needed by ordinary martial arts cultivators to advance to a small realm, and it is the purest spiritual energy.

Lingmengtang has its own delivery channels, so its business is booming in Qingshan City. It does not belong to any of the five major families and is a big piece of fat meat in the eyes of the five major families. Whoever can swallow Lingmengtang will definitely control the lifeline of the monks in Qingshan City.

However, Reimengtang has a considerable background and has branches throughout the Great Yan Empire. Even the Su family cannot afford to take over their business. However, the head of the Lin family, Lin Zhan, has some friendship with the owner of Reimengtang. The two parties have a business partnership, and Reimengtang gave the Lin family a 1% stake.

Don't underestimate this one percent of the shares. It is quite significant and even accounts for half of the Lin family's income.

Xian Yao looked at the golden plaque of Lingmeng Hall and couldn't help but smile slightly. Why did she need to confront the Lin family head-on to make them hand over their property? It would also be effective to start from other aspects.

Xian Yao stepped into Lingmeng Hall. The silver-white figure really attracted many people's attention. A beautiful woman came forward to greet her and smiled: "Miss, are you here to buy spiritual stones? If you have any needs, just tell me. We have all kinds of spiritual stones in Lingmeng Hall."

"I'm not here to buy spirit stones, I'm here to gamble on them."

Xian Yao smiled faintly and casually flipped out a purple-gold card. The other party's eyes lit up and he immediately became respectful.

"I see. It seems that the young lady is not an ordinary person. Please follow me."

This purple-gold card belongs to Xian Yao herself. It has been thrown into the corner of her ring for who knows how many years. It was only yesterday that she remembered that she had such a thing.

This was given to Xianyao by a good friend in the past. It is a senior membership card of Reimu Hall. It allows one to participate in some secret activities of Reimu Hall. It is very fun, but Xianyao had no interest in these before, so she just threw it in a corner.

As to why you are not interested, you will soon understand.

"Ling'er, follow me closely after you go in, don't get lost."

"Eh? Ok...ok!"

Ling'er clenched her fists against her chest and followed Xianyao cautiously like a little animal, then looked around curiously.

The woman brought Xianyao and Ling'er into a large hall deep inside the temple, where many powerful cultivators gathered. Ling'er even saw Huang Yuanjing, who was at the fifth level of the immortal realm and could be considered an immortal!

Ling'er never expected that there would be so many powerful people in the small Qingshan City. In her impression, she always thought that the heads of the five major families were the ceiling, but everyone here is far stronger than Lin Zhan and City Lord Su.

"I just brought this fresh Chaos Spirit Stone from the Spirit Mine! Judging from its color and texture, it is definitely a good Spirit Stone. I am selling it for only 10,000 taels of silver now!"

"One hundred taels of silver for any of your choice. You can have the stone cut on the spot. There are discounts for buying more."

"Don't miss it if you pass by. The Chaos Spirit Stones here can definitely work miracles. They're only 998, so you won't get cheated or fooled."

It is more like a market here, with many Reimu-do salesmen selling extremely ugly-looking stones in various shapes and sizes.

"Miss, this is...?"

Ling'er blinked her big eyes. She had never seen these things before.

"This is a Chaos Spirit Stone. The outer layer is wrapped by the complex Chaos Avenue, so it is impossible to detect the situation inside. It may produce top-grade Spirit Stones or nothing. Many merchants have created the gambling method of gambling on stones in order to hype it up."

Xian Yao remembered that there was a strange man in history who relied on obtaining a top-grade spiritual stone when gambling on stones. From then on, he gradually grew from a small figure in the mortal martial arts realm to an eternal god.

Gambling on stones relies on luck, because no one can see through the Chaos Avenue and know its internal situation. It is a kind of gambling, and gambling can often attract many people, but for Xian Yao it is as boring as chewing wax.

Although Xianyao was unable to see through the Avenue of Chaos, she was able to deduce it, which was equivalent to having the ability to predict the future. In Xianyao's eyes, these Chaos Spirit Stones were as if they had all been stripped naked, and she could tell at a glance whether there was anything inside.

That's why Xian Yao is not interested in this.

"Ling'er, do you have any money on you? You should have ten taels of silver on you."

"Eh? Yes."

Ling'er handed it over reluctantly. This was the silver that Butler Hua almost snatched away just now. If it weren't for Xianyao, she might not be able to get it back. Since Xianyao wanted to use it, Ling'er had nothing to say.

"Don't worry, since I took yours, I will not treat you unfairly. All the profits will be yours."

Without waiting for Ling'er to react, Xianyao turned around and walked towards some cheap Chaos Spirit Stones.

Chaos Spirit Stones are also for sale at ten taels of silver each. Most of them are small stones the size of pebbles, and the sales rate is extremely low, but there are still many people willing to give it a try, so it is suitable for novices in gambling on stones.

However, while it was gambling for others, it was like turning on a perspective cheat for Xianyao. It was not the same game at all. Xianyao took a look and saw almost everything was gray, which meant that nothing could be obtained. However, Xianyao also captured several chaos spirit stones containing spirit stones.

Emerald green and cyan blue, these are low-grade and medium-grade spirit stones respectively. You will make money if you open them. According to the ratio of Reimu Hall, one low-grade spirit stone is worth one hundred taels of silver, while one medium-grade spirit stone is worth about ten thousand taels of silver!

Just ten taels of silver can easily exchange for several times the profit, so Xianyao feels that this place is very boring. She doesn't even understand why so many people like to gamble on stones. What's the point of it?

“Please give me this one.”

Xian Yao casually picked up a Chaos Spirit Stone containing a mid-grade Spirit Stone and threw it to the salesperson.
