Within the illusory realm of Fangchun Mountain and Qianxiang Cave, flowers bloom everywhere, emitting a wonderful fragrance, and a misty fog permeates the air.
It truly makes one exclaim, "This is a paradise on earth!"
The fairy in this place—the Fairy Disenchantment—had lost her fairy demeanor. Centered on her, the flowers, plants, and pavilions within a ten-zhang radius had been pulverized into dust.
Many of the "beautiful women," each with their own distinct temperament, wore the same expression of fear, neither daring to approach nor stay away.
"Where did this God of Wealth come from? He's so arrogant and ignorant, he doesn't even have a proper divine position yet, but he dares to interfere in my affairs."
Jinghuan's pupils constricted, and her teeth clenched.
Like some of the places Ling Xiao had mentioned, the abode of immortals is far removed from the mortal realm, and communication between them is extremely difficult. Otherwise, the Fairy Disenchantment wouldn't have arranged for monks, Taoists, and Qin Keqing to reside in the mortal world.
So, it's not that the Fairy Disenchantment reacted too slowly; it's that they just received the message.
The Fairy Disenchantment casually pointed at a certain love-struck ghost, her expression changing from anger to gentleness:
"Something has happened in the mortal realm, disrupting the love triangle between Fairy Crimson Pearl and Attendant Divine Stone. Several flower spirits who should have been your companions have also been deceived. Now we need you to descend to the mortal realm. Are you willing?"
"I..." The ghost of love had a pure and innocent temperament, with a whiteness like a water lily. The sisters called her Han Dan.
She hesitated for a long time, looking flustered and uneasy.
She dared not refuse, yet truly did not wish to descend to the mortal realm. The Fairy Disenchantment spoke sweetly, but who knew how arrogant and domineering she was...
Seeing that Jinghuan's smile faded slightly, she knew she was getting impatient, so she closed her eyes and agreed.
"I am willing to serve the fairy."
"Very good," Jinghuan casually adjusted her sleeves. If she had been a second later, that love-struck ghost would have been whipped hundreds of times.
"The first thing I'll do after descending to the mortal realm is find that inexperienced little God of Wealth. She's willful and unruly, with no one to guide her. Tell her to stop immediately, or this fairy will have to teach her a lesson on behalf of her elders."
As she spoke, Jinghuan sighed with a compassionate expression, but her eyes were filled with greed:
"When that time comes, we'll have to invite her to sit in the Land of Illusion for several hundred years..."
Jinghuan had a very clever plan. By tolerating things time and time again and even sending people to persuade her, she figured that once she made her move, the people behind the Little God of Wealth would have no grounds for complaint...
Everything in the world boils down to reason!
"Alright, be careful when you descend to the mortal realm. When you meet the Little God of Wealth, remember not to disgrace my Illusionary Realm."
The Fairy Disenchantment subtly instructed Han Dan to be more arrogant, preferably to anger the God of Wealth, and ideally, to beat or kill Han Dan, giving her a better reason to do it herself.
Under her tyranny, Han Dan nodded obediently. The ghosts beside her also had a bad feeling, but they didn't even dare to cry for their sister.
A moment later, the Land of Illusion opened a crack, and Han Dan was pushed down to the mortal realm.
During this time, she suffered numerous calamities, including poisonous fire, strange winds, and exotic birds. Although she did not die, these hardships caused her immense pain.

"What? The God of Wealth helped me become human in this way?!"
Lin Zhen's face showed three parts shock, four parts ferocity as he wanted to kill the giant system, and one part fear and two parts disbelief.
"Does the enhanced sense of smell in humans, when they become like dogs, lead to a decline in hearing?"
The burly man frowned deeply, looking very serious as he asked the question, a small notebook appearing in his hand.
That familiar feeling of being so angry you almost vomited blood, Lin Zhen, disgusted, roared in a fit of rage:
"This is fraud, this is deception! I won't accept this! I will never become... become..."
That word lingered in Lin Zhen's mind. He used to excitedly shout "I can do it!" but now he felt ashamed to even say it.
"Oh, really? You'd better think about it carefully; this might be your only chance."
The burly man crossed his arms, looked intently at Lin Zhen, and said in a pitying tone.
Lin Zhen fell silent. No one could understand the struggle in his heart: to survive or... no, that was the question.
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he pointed at the giant Han system, demanding an explanation:
"Tell me, have you colluded with the God of Wealth and received bribes? Otherwise, why would you be so enthusiastic, as if she were your master?"
I was genuinely surprised. "A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days' absence," and Lin Zhen has actually evolved! What else could it be but a miracle?
"Heh, if that's really what you think, there's nothing I can do," the big man sneered, exuding an aura of "what can you do to me?"
After saying that, he issued an ultimatum: "If you haven't made a decision by the time I count to three, this system will take it as a rejection."
"One," Lin Zhen said, grabbing his head with his two front legs and pounding on it frantically, struggling fiercely.
The big man remained unmoved and continued, "Two." The black dog lay helplessly on the floor, its fur flying everywhere, a testament to his inner turmoil.
Before the third dog appeared, mournful and shrill barking echoed throughout the palace, causing great concern among the beautiful palace maids serving outside the door.
This is what it sounds like when it reaches the ear:
"Stop counting, I agree!"
Having achieved his goal, he hastily left a message saying he was waiting for the God of Wealth to come, and then made his escape.
Lin Zhen was left lying on the ground like a rag doll, looking confused and in pain.
When the palace maids came in, the prettiest one of them quickly picked it up and gently comforted it.
The black dog whimpered and turned its head to the inside. The warm and soft body it once loved now only brought it sorrow, and a few hot tears slowly streamed down its face.
In the midst of extreme grief, Lin Zhen reached a state of spiritual transcendence, realizing that life is but an empty dream.
Over here, Lin Daiyu saw Jintong enter cheerfully, stuffed a handful of candies into his hand, pinched his cheek and said:
"Let me see, where have you been gallivanting off to again? You've been traveling all over the country for a month or two, and you're still not satisfied?"
The words were loaded with meaning, but the other person simply stopped listening.
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
The Golden Boy System ran to the God of Wealth, excitedly announcing in its mind that the task was complete.
Ling Xiao propped his face up with one hand. Lin Meimei's tears were back in his grasp. Now that all the conditions were met, everything would be easy.
He got up, stretched, and turned to ask jokingly:
"Jiangzhu, would you like to come with me to see Shenying Attendant?"
Lin Daiyu was taken aback, then realized, "Has the time come?"
The God of Wealth once said that when the time is right, the former Jia family's precious jade will become the Divine Stone Attendant in the Heavenly Realm...
Her heart was filled with complex emotions. Humans are not plants or trees; how could they be without feelings? In this life, even if Baoyu and she had not yet developed feelings for each other, they were still close cousins.
The God of Wealth seemed unable to bear the atmosphere and stomped his foot.
"Never mind, it's not too late to save her when Jinghuan arrives anyway," he said, making a face and waving his hand before disappearing.
Lin Daiyu was deeply moved, unaware that Ling Xiao was overjoyed after running away, as an even more interesting little dog was waiting for her to rescue him.
