"Why are you running? Didn't you tell me to wait?"

Seeing the trembling overseer being escorted to her by a group of people, she couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

It is human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong.

"Big sister, big sister, I was wrong, I was wrong."

The overseer closed his eyes and kowtowed vigorously, because right next to him was the head that had been trampled and mangled.

"I heard that you can leave this place as long as you dig up a pearl."

……

"Boom."

"I'm asking you something."

Seeing that the man remained silent for a long time, the girl next to him kicked him.

"Ah! Yes, yes, yes!"

"Then how many people do you think I can exchange these pearls for?"

Lu Zhaoran waved her hand, and pearls fell from her fingertips into the yellow sand.

Pearls are nothing. With Doria, the mermaid princess, she has plenty of those things.

"This...this...this..."

"Can't you?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. It's just that I'm only a small leader and have no real say. The team leader will be coming to inspect in three days, and then... then it will be hard to explain."

"Since it's difficult to explain, you might as well just confess right now."

Lu Zhaoran had only intended to be polite to him, but she didn't expect him to be so impolite. She might as well just kill him. She still needed to find a way back and didn't have time to deal with these things. The only reason she was able to put in so much effort today was because of that girl's sip of water.

She wasn't a great philanthropist, but she was always someone who knew how to repay kindness.

"No, no, no, I'll explain, I'll explain!"

"Don't kill him yet."

Just as Lu Zhaoran's sword was about to slit the man's throat, the girl spoke up in time, and the sword stopped.

“He’s right. Someone will indeed come to inspect here in three days, and we’ll all be in big trouble then.”

"Yes, yes, this girl is right. If anyone is found to be daring to resist, it will be reported to the elf in charge. At that time, you will not only be facing us small fry, but they will definitely send higher-level spirits to capture you."

The foreman, realizing that his head was safe, hurriedly followed the girl's advice, no longer caring about his still-bleeding neck.

"Three days..."

Lu Zhaoran murmured to himself.

Her strength has dropped due to excessive damage, and it will take quite some time for her to recover.

Lu Zhaoran looked around and saw that everyone around her was looking at her, with eager hope and worry about the future in their eyes. It was as if she had seen a ray of light for salvation, but found that dark clouds had covered the sun. This ray of light was just a small thing that had appeared by chance and would soon disappear.

Perhaps... these people could be used.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhaoran looked at the few little spirit monsters she had shot down. Looking at them, they did resemble monsters from the Ye Luoli Fairy Realm. Perhaps... she should try... forming a contract with them...

----

"It's been three days already. I don't know what that person is thinking. He's locked himself in his room for three days. We can't beat him, and we can't run away. Who knows what will happen to us in the future? Sigh."

……

"You know... how about we secretly release those supervisors? The foreman is coming tomorrow anyway, she did all the work, it has nothing to do with us... we..."

"Snapped!"

"You! You! You hit me!"

Lu Zhaoran has been occupying several supervisors' rooms these past few days, staying there to figure out how to turn her ideas into reality.

During the days she was away, the people outside became increasingly worried. They dared not resist those who oppressed them, nor did they dare resist Lu Zhaoran, the devil who could kill at will. They were also afraid that when the leader came, he would treat them as Lu Zhaoran's accomplices and punish them together. So, on the third day, some people began to have the idea of ​​rebelling against Lu Zhaoran and asking for credit and rewards from the previous year.

This person was the one who first had the idea.

"So what if I hit you? I see you quite enjoy being someone's dog, don't you?"

The girl who hit Lu Zhaoran was the one who had saved him.

At that moment, she held a knife to the neck of the man who wanted to release the overseer.

"Heh, what's wrong? You've been digging in the sand for so long, have you lost your brain? Have you forgotten how they bullied you before? This...this...and this...look, you may have forgotten, but you haven't forgotten the injuries on your body. Do you think those fairies' henchmen will let us go, or those high and mighty fairies will have pity on us!"

The girl's words were powerful and calmed the restless hearts of everyone present.

Even the few who had been harboring thoughts seemed to have cleared their minds considerably.

Yes, humanity... enslaved humanity... Even if they escaped the punishment here, the entire world's humans are still enslaved by those fairies, oppressed and bullied by their minions...

Seeing their expressions, the girl put away her knife.

The enslavement of the body is not terrible; what is terrible is that their minds are also being enslaved.

Sister Lu is right. There is a servile nature in human nature; people are easily swayed by force but not by gentleness, humble when in a lowly position and arrogant when in a high one. But the instinct for survival will overcome this servility. If you want to make these people useful, you must ignite the seeds of resistance within them.

……

"well done."

"Sister Lu!!! You're out."

After dealing with the matter, the girl heard that familiar voice behind her.

Her previously icy face involuntarily transformed into a joyful expression. She turned around, her bright eyes staring intently at the newcomer.

"for you."

"This is……"

Lu Zhaoran tossed a small spirit at the girl, who looked at the spirit at her feet, completely bewildered.

Does she need to kill it?

Thinking this, he raised the knife in his hand.

Ghost: Σ(?д?|||)??

"Don't kill me, this is your spell summoner."

"?"

"Give me your hand."

The girl obediently stretched out her hand.

Lu Zhaoran pressed against her fingertips and injected a wisp of his refined spiritual power into them.

"Try it, use the mental power I gave you to form a contract with this spirit."

"A contract? A spirit?"

"Ah."

Although the girl thought it was a bit outrageous, she still gave it a try because she trusted Lu Zhaoran.

"Close your eyes, concentrate, and follow the guidance of this spiritual power."

The girl closed her eyes as Lu Zhaoran instructed, carefully sensing the spiritual energy.

"I think... I feel it!"

A flash of light appeared on the girl, and Lu Zhaoran nodded in satisfaction.

This girl was very quick to learn and succeeded on her first try.

"Sister Lu, did I...did I succeed?"

The girl opened her eyes and felt a small but surprisingly powerful force within her.

Does this mean that humans... can also master these supernatural and bizarre abilities?

"Yes, you succeeded. Because you have only recently formed a contract, you are not very proficient in the use of magic and the control of power, so you cannot play a significant role for the time being."

Oh, right, also because the spirit you contracted is too weak, your power will be limited. If you want to become stronger later, then kill it and contract a stronger spirit, elf, or fairy.

However, that depends on how far you can cultivate. If you rashly force a contract with someone too powerful, you will inevitably suffer a backlash. At best, your cultivation will dissipate; at worst, you will die and your soul will be destroyed.

Lu Zhaoran's words left everyone around him stunned.

In the minds they were instilled with, humans were lowly and weak beings, and a contracted fairy... If it weren't for what happened today, it would have sounded like a complete fantasy!

After the initial shock, everyone looked eagerly at Lu Zhaoran.

Lu Zhaoran understood what they meant.

But it's a pity.

"The spirit monsters have all been used up in the experiments. This is the last one. However, there will be new and more powerful spirit monsters tomorrow. Who will get one and who won't will depend on your performance."

After looking around, Lu Zhaoran left behind this sentence, and the people around him instantly became excited, their eyes shining, wishing they could catch a spirit right now.

Lu Zhaoran only told half the truth; the spirits and monsters had long since disappeared.

Apart from the one she specifically saved, she ate all the others.

This idea still originated from the guy inside Lu An's body.

Seeing that he could absorb the fairy's power, she wondered if she could research this method to accelerate the recovery of her own level. Unexpectedly... it actually succeeded.

This thing is neither particularly difficult nor easy. For others, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky, but for Lu Zhaoran, a master of soul cultivation, it's a sure thing every time he tries.

"By the way, what's your name?"

Lu Zhaoran looked at the girl and told her her name, but she still didn't know what the girl's name was.

"My name is... my name is Xingchen."

"Stars...that sounds nice."

Looking at her star-like eyes, Lu Zhaoran felt that the girl's parents must have named her because of those eyes.

"Go back and get some rest. I want to see how my research results perform tomorrow."

"Ah."

Xingchen watched Lu Zhaoran's departing figure, her eyes seeing nothing else.

Neither gods nor immortals would care about her life or death, only Lu Zhaoran would.

Bright as the sun and moon, with stars accompanying the sun and moon.

Her name is Xingchen (Star), and today she has met her sun, a sun willing to shine upon her.
