An hour later.
Xiao Xiao opened his eyes.
A purple light flashed across her eyes, and then disappeared into the depths of her pupils.
The aura around him was stronger than before, and a faint sheen spread on the surface of his skin.
"It's done?"
Wang Dong'er come over.
"It's done!"
Xiao Xiao stood up, moved his body, and smiled from ear to ear, "Three rings! Soul Elder Xiao Xiao, please take care of me!"
Wang Dong'er was amused by her appearance and reached out to pat her shoulder.
Lin Yaoyang came over and handed her the piece of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Palm Bone.
"Right metacarpal bone. It's still difficult for you to absorb it now. You can absorb it later."
Xiao Xiao held the piece of Soul Bone and looked at it again and again, then raised his head and looked at Lin Yaoyang, then at Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong'er.
"Brother Yao Yang, I don't want this Soul Bone, right? I already have such a good Soul Ring, how about giving it to sister Nannan or Dong'er?"
Wang Dong'er shook his head.
"I don't want it. Xiao Xiao, Soul Ring and Soul Bone are used together, and the effect will be better. You should absorb it yourself."
Jiang Nannan also said, "Yes, Xiao Xiao. It's better for you to absorb this Soul Bone yourself."
Xiao Xiao looked at them with a little red eyes.
"Look, everyone has said so, so don't be polite."
Lin Yaoyang looked at her.
"Besides, you are all my first batch of shareholders, Sun Temple, and I will not treat you badly."
"I will not enjoy this honor to myself!"
"I will try my best to find Soul Bone or other treasures that suit you."
The three girls looked at Lin Yaoyang.
Wang Dong'er's mouth moved. He wanted to say something, but he held back.
Xiao Xiao held the Soul Bone and nodded vigorously.
"Okay. I listen to brother Yao Yang."
Xiao Xiao Put Soul Bone away.
"Let's go. Go back."
The figures of the four people disappeared deep into the woods.
Lin Yaoyang When I returned to Spirit City, I almost didn't recognize it.
A few months ago, this place was still in ruins.
Now, the ruins are gone.
The cleared gravel and rubble were piled in pits outside the city, waiting to be used for road paving in the future.
The bluestone slabs of the main streets in the city were replaced with new ones, and drainage ditches were dug on both sides.
The most conspicuous thing is the group of buildings on the hill in the center of the city.
The former Pope Palace, Worship Hall, and Douluo Palace were all demolished.
Workers are laying foundations, erecting pillars and erecting beams on the old site.
In the square in front of the temple, half of the former Angel Statue has been removed.
Instead, there was a new statue.
The whole body is carved from white granite, with both hands standing holding a sword, the tip of the sword pointing to the ground, and looking into the distance.
Apollo.
Xiao Xiao stood in the square, looking up at the statue, and then at the main hall under construction, his mouth wide open enough to fit an egg into it.
"Wow! The main hall was built so quickly?"
How long has it been?
Jiang Nannan was also slightly surprised.
She had seen the drawings. The main hall was very large, with side halls and corridors on both sides.
At normal speed, it would take less than a year and a half to set up a stand.
Lin Yaoyang put his hands in his pockets and looked in the direction of the main hall.
"That's right. Although I don't understand the art of civil engineering, I respect technology."
Wang Dong'er blinked. "Does this matter?"
"I added money."
Several women. "..."
The workers worked really hard.
Lin Yaoyang paid twice the market price, and he also provided three meals, each with meat.
When the news spread, in addition to Xiao Lie's craftsman team, craftsmen from several nearby counties came.
Now there are enough manpower on the construction site, working in three shifts, day and night.
Lin Yaoyang stood on the square in front of the temple, overlooking the entire city.
There are people busy in every area of the city.
Those who clean up rubble, renovate streets, lay drainage pipes, and set up water supply systems.
The sun shines on those busy people, dust dances in the beams of light, and the sound of tinkling knocks comes one after another.
It's really a scene full of vitality and all things competing!
Hmm? Why is my scalp itchy?
"Squad leader, what do you do over there?"
Xiao Xiao pointed to a fenced area in the east of the city.
"That's a planned residential area over there."
Lin Yaoyang said, "When there are more people in the future, there must be a place to live."
"What about over there?"
Xiao Xiao points to the west of the city.
"Training ground, functional areas like Soul Fighting Arena."
Wang Dong'er looked around and glanced at the busy workers.
"So many people gathered at once?"
"There are probably several thousand craftsmen and villagers who help, right?"
Lin Yaoyang said, "The craftsmen are responsible for building the city, and the villagers are responsible for cleaning and moving. I have asked Uncle Xiao to help arrange the daily payment for the wages, and I will never be in arrears."
"Where did you get so much money?"
Wang Dong'er couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yaoyang glanced at her. "Hey, guess what!"
Wang Dong'er: "..."
Recently, more and more villagers have come to seek refuge.
The message was spread from the villages that had been rescued.
"Sun Temple killed Evil Soul Master and helped civilians awaken Martial Soul."
This sentence spread from one village to another, from one old man to another.
Those poor people who have been forgotten in the corner for generations heard a name for the first time. It was not a nobleman or a government, but a power they had never heard of.
Sun Temple.
Some people want to see if this Sun Temple is really like the legend. You can awaken Martial Soul without charging money.
Some people want to find work. I heard that they pay a lot of money here and they also take care of the food.
Some people didn't think anything of it. They just heard that someone here was willing to help them, so they walked the mountain road for a day and a night with their baggage on their backs.
Those who are willing to work will be assigned to the construction site and their wages will be paid.
He didn't say "Welcome to Sun Temple". It's not the time yet.
These people are not ready yet.
But the seeds have been planted.
Lin Yaoyang sends Xiao Xiao back to the Marquis Zhenshuo Mansion.
At the door of the Marquis Mansion, Xiao Xiao's father Xiao Lie happened to be back from the military camp. He saw Lin Yaoyang and nodded.
"Boy Lin, come in for dinner?"
"No, Uncle Xiao."
Lin Yaoyang said, "I want to go on a long journey."
Xiao Lie didn't ask any more questions, just asked, "When will you come back?"
"Not necessarily. I'll come back when I'm done."
Xiao Lie nodded and strode into the door of the mansion.
Xiao Xiao stood at the door, looking back at Lin Yaoyang, but hesitated to speak.
"Brother Yao Yang, I'm not worried if you go Sun Moon Empire alone."
Her voice was a little softer than usual, "How about we go together? I heard that Sun Moon Empire is very dangerous. Let's go together so we can take care of him."
Lin Yaoyang looked at her and reached out to touch her head. "No need. I can go alone."
"But..."
"You said it was very dangerous."
Lin Yaoyang interrupted her, "How can I let you take risks?"
Xiao Xiao opened his mouth and finally nodded.
"Then you must be careful."
Lin Yaoyang smiled. "Don't worry."
He turned around and left with Wang Dong'er and Jiang Nannan.
Xiao Xiao stood at the door of the Marquis Mansion, watching them gradually go away.
The three of them walked to the official road together.
Wang Dong'er suddenly said, "I'll go back to the Clear Sky Sect first."
"Let's see if we can bring a few people over to help."
Wang Dong'er said, "Building a force requires manpower. Clear Sky Sect doesn't have many others. There are many people who can fight."
Lin Yaoyang smiled, "Thank you very much, Dong'er."
Wang Dong'er looked at him with no expression on his face, but there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
Aren't you usually very smart? Why do you get so confused at the critical moment? It's time to say goodbye, so you only know how to say thank you?
Don't you know how to express yourself?
Lin Yaoyang looked at her, suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed her waist, and pulled her closer.
Wang Dong'er's body stiffened for a moment, but he didn't struggle.
He kissed her gently on the forehead.
"Dong'er, be careful on the road."
A blush appeared on Wang Dong'er's face, spreading from the roots of her ears to her cheeks.
She lowered her head and said "hmm" softly.
"You too."
Then she pushed away Lin Yaoyang's arms, turned around and released her butterfly wings, looked back, and then flew away.
The speed is very fast, as if he is running away.
