Fang Jian didn't have to wait too long, less than a cup of tea. He saw the colorful mist in front of the cave entrance on the cliff dissipate with the wind, and the twisted green vines covering the cave entrance also retreated into the surrounding green mountains in an instant.
A huge cave entrance, more than ten feet high, was revealed. The Fairy Lingdie was wearing a moon-white Liuxian dress, with long hair naturally falling on her shoulders and back. She had willow eyebrows, beautiful eyes, a round face and cherry lips. She was a very typical Chinese classical beauty.
The Fairy Lingdie shielded the small butterfly and serval demons behind her, her delicate body standing at the entrance of the cave. After all the green vines had retreated, she bowed deeply and said to Fang Jian, "From the Half-Stone Cliff Cave, the mountain demon Lingdie pays homage to the venerable deity."
Fang Jian looked at the Fairy Lingdie who was bowing and saluting, and did not speak immediately. Instead, he took out the land book and took a look at it first.
The Fairy Lingdie was in great torment as she bowed, especially since Fang Jian opposite her did not respond immediately, which caused a trace of cold sweat to gradually appear on her snow-white forehead.
The little butterfly demons and little serval demons behind her were trembling with fear. They huddled together and hid behind the Spirit Butterfly Fairy, not daring to make any sound.
While she was circulating her magic power, ready to cast the 'Seven Fragrances and Clouds' at any time, she was also waiting respectfully for Fang Jian's response.
'Snap'
A drop of cold sweat dripped from the face of the Psylocke Fairy, splashing a trace of dust when it fell to the ground.
At this moment, Fang Jian said, "No need to be so polite, fellow Daoist. Please stand up."
When Fairy Lingdie heard this, her heart suddenly relaxed. She immediately bowed deeply again and said, "I don't deserve the title of Taoist friend. Little Fairy Lingdie thanks the God."
After saying this, Fairy Lingdie straightened up and stood up straight.
Fang Jian closed the land book and said to Fairy Lingdie, "A year ago, a group of serval demons came to the Half-Stone Cliff Cave. Is this true?"
Fairy Lingdie's heart tightened, and the little serval demons behind her were so scared that they trembled all over and collapsed to the ground.
"Your Excellency, yes, that is true. When I saw that they had no place to go and were wandering around, I took them in." Fairy Lingdie said with great respect.
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm not here to investigate this matter. The one who just attacked me was that Serval demon in the Refining Profound Realm, right?"
Upon hearing this, Fairy Lingdie immediately knelt on the ground and prostrated herself before Fang Jian, saying, "Please forgive my sins, venerable deity. Before arriving in Yangxia County, Juan'er had a grudge against the King of Yintu Mountain and the land deity of Qiu'an County, forcing him to leave his homeland and come to Yangxia County. Therefore, he has a wild and unruly personality, but his past was full of pity. He attacked the venerable deity just now, but he had no intention of killing. I beg for mercy and forgiveness. I will remember your kindness forever."
Fang Jian's expression remained unchanged. He simply raised his hand and said, "This deity abides by the laws of Heaven, nothing else. I just checked the land registers, and that evil creature's life span has not yet ended. I will spare her life for now. However, she should be punished lightly, so that she will know my authority. Bring her out, and this deity will protect her life."
Upon hearing this, Fairy Lingdie was immediately overwhelmed with emotion and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Venerable God! Thank you, Venerable God!"
Then, without the Fairy Lingdie saying anything, the little serval demons cheered and hurriedly ran to Fang Jian with their curled ears raised.
The little serval demons do not have the complicated minds of adults. Their intelligence is like that of children who have not yet grown up. They only have the purest and simplest concepts of good and evil, and do not have many dirty ideas.
So when Fang Jian said he wanted to save Juan'er's life, they immediately chose to believe him, without any doubt about whether there was a conspiracy, and carried Juan'er out.
The little serval demons gently placed Curly Ears at Fang Jian's feet, then formed a circle around Fang Jian and kowtowed to him continuously.
They also learned this in Qiu'an County. The Yintu Mountain King likes the monsters to kneel down and worship him the most.
Fang Jian glanced at Juan'er, who was already dying on the ground, and then performed the art of transforming wishes. Instantly, half of the existing wish power in the Immortal Official Jade Disc was transformed into a healing light and shot into Juan'er's body.
The spiritual light entered his body, and Juan'er's body trembled slightly. Then he stopped spitting blood and started coughing.
After coughing several times, Juan'er suddenly turned over and spat out a mouthful of blood from his throat. After the blood was out, his breathing became smooth and his face became rosy.
Then Juan'er slowly lay down on the ground and fell asleep. His breathing was very even and his complexion had returned to normal.
The little serval demons shouted happily, and then kowtowed to Fang Jian repeatedly.
Fang Jian said to the little serval demons, "Carry her back. After a few days of bed rest, she can walk again. However, she will have to endure the pain for several more months."
At this moment, the Fairy Spirit Butterfly also stepped forward and said to the little butterfly demon and the little serval demon, "Carry Juan'er back to the cave."
The little butterfly demons flew forward one after another, raised their curled ears and flew into the cave, while the little serval demons followed closely behind and entered the cave together.
After the little butterfly demon and the little serval demon entered the cave, the Fairy of the Spirit Butterfly bowed to Fang Jian again and said, "Your Majesty, it was under the instruction of the little demon, Juan'er, that the yellow ox was captured. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
"Haha." Fang Jian looked at the Fairy Butterfly in front of him and smiled faintly: "Do butterflies also like to eat beef?"
Fairy Lingdie remained expressionless as she replied, "It's because Juan'er and the others love meat, but there have been very few wild animals or birds in the mountains lately, so they can't catch any prey. That's why the little demon instructed Juan'er to go down the mountain and kidnap the villagers' oxen."
Fang Jian asked, "Do you know how important a working ox is to ordinary people?"
Fairy Lingdie said, "Replying to the God, I know. The common people cultivate the land and grow crops. Their food and clothing all year round depend on cattle to plow the land and sow seeds."
Fang Jian said, "Since you know this, it's good. I won't delve into this matter any further. I'll give you two days. Return an ox to that villager, and the matter will be over."
