48: Hero summons, charm the nine-tailed fox!

“Construct Academy.”

“Construct Medical Hall.”

“Hint: Remaining time: 3:59:59”

“Hint: Remaining time: 2:59:59”

Resources were consumed again, and two construction sites, shrouded in white light, appeared in the territory.

After doing this, Mo Yan eagerly reopened the Tavern interface.

The three talent cards he had his eyes on were still quietly lying there.

“Recruit Lin Zeqing.”

“Recruit Cheng Liyi.”

“Recruit Teacher Su Wanshu.”

1600 gold coins instantly decreased.

A flash of light, and three figures simultaneously walked out of the Tavern.

A dark-skinned, sturdy young man, dressed in coarse linen clothes, held a small hoe in his hand.

Spiritual Planter Lin Zeqing.

A burly, muscular middle-aged strong man, with a full beard, wearing a thick leather apron, his arms strong and powerful, carrying a heavy iron hammer on his shoulder.

Blacksmith Cheng Liyi.

The last one was a young woman in her twenties, wearing a blue long gown and black-rimmed glasses, with a quiet demeanor.

Teacher Su Wanshu.

They looked around blankly at the icy and snowy environment, and finally, their gazes converged on Mo Yan.

“Lord!” The three simultaneously bowed in salute, their voices carrying the restraint of newcomers.

Mo Yan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the three.

“Lin Zeqing, that Spiritual Field being constructed over there will be your responsibility from now on. All the seeds are in the Warehouse; ask me if you need more.” He pointed in the direction of the Spiritual Field.

“Yes, Lord!” Lin Zeqing looked at the land emitting faint Spiritual Qi, a look of joy appearing in his eyes.

“Cheng Liyi, the Armor Workshop will be under your management from now on. Prioritize repairing and upgrading the Soldiers’ armor.” Mo Yan continued to instruct.

“Rest assured, Lord, I guarantee the completion of the task!” Cheng Liyi patted his chest, his voice booming.

“Teacher Su Wanshu, the Academy is under construction. Once completed, you will be responsible for teaching residents literacy and knowledge.” Mo Yan looked at the last person.

Teacher Su Wanshu adjusted her glasses, bowed slightly, and said softly, “Yes, Lord. I will do my best.”

Having arranged the three, Mo Yan’s mood became even more pleasant.

The territory’s framework was gradually improving, and professional talents were also brought in; everything was developing in a good direction.

Now, only one last thing remained, and it was the most anticipated one for him.

With a thought, the token he had obtained from the five-star treasure chest appeared in his hand.

Hero Recruitment Token

Hero Unit!

Although Gun Gun had unlimited potential, it was not yet an adult.

A mature and powerful hero could become the territory’s trump card.

Who would it be?

A brave and skilled general?

Or an exceptionally wise strategist?

Or perhaps like Gun Gun?

Mo Yan gripped the token in his hand, feeling a peculiar energy fluctuation.

“Use Hero Recruitment Token!”

Buzz—!

The token in his hand instantly burst forth with a light even more dazzling than when he opened the treasure chest before!

The brilliant white light shot up into the sky like a sharp sword, forming a gigantic pillar of light above the grey, icy plains, stirring up wind and snow, tearing through the clouds!

Within the territory, all the Soldiers and the three newly recruited talents were attracted by this astonishing phenomenon, looking up at the pillar of light, their faces filled with shock and awe.

Inside the Ice Crystal Cabin, Gun Gun, who was gnawing on bamboo shoots, also stopped his movements. Its small head poked out of the window, curiously looking at the pillar of light, still holding half a bamboo shoot in its mouth.

“Gulu?”

Within the light, a blurry figure was slowly condensing and taking shape.

The figure was tall and graceful, its contours exquisite and well-proportioned. Even through the dazzling light, one could feel a breathtaking beauty, with glimpses of silver-white long hair flowing with the light and shadow.

Mo Yan held his breath, his heart unconsciously accelerating, as he gazed at the center of the light pillar.

It’s here!

His second hero!

The pillar of light gradually receded, the dazzling radiance collapsing inward, finally completely merging into the figure.

The wind and snow subsided, and the world returned to the unique silence of the icy plains.

A figure stood still in place.

It was a woman.

Tall and graceful, a simple white long dress swayed gently in the wind, outlining breathtaking curves.

Her skin was fairer than snow, and a waterfall of soft, silver-white long hair cascaded down to her waist. A few strands of hair were blown by the cold wind, brushing against her exquisitely beautiful profile.

Most striking were her eyes.

Narrow and slightly upturned Phoenix eyes, with an unusual amber-gold pupil color, and a gaze that revealed an elusive slyness.

Her demeanor was cool and aloof, yet she exuded an enchanting aura at all times, making people dare not look directly, yet unable to resist being drawn in, wanting to get closer.

Such beauty and aura, naturally seductive, with every glance possessing soul-capturing power. An ordinary person would likely lose half their soul with just one look, becoming a plaything.

Mo Yan’s mind slightly condensed, his Spiritual Qi circulating, instantly dispelling the alluring intent, his gaze calmly falling on the hero panel.

Name: (Named by Lord)

Race: Nine-tailed fox (Demon Cultivator)

Rank: Lv1

Spiritual Qi: 0 / 200 (Qi Refining Stage Layer 1)

Loyalty: 80

Description: A descendant of the ancient Nine-tailed fox clan, who arrived in this world due to an accidental contract.

Proficient in illusions and Formations, keen-minded, adept at discerning human hearts, naturally possessing leadership abilities.

Loyalty is unstable; needs to be truly recognized through strength and wisdom.

A Nine-tailed fox, and with a dual Heavenly Spiritual Root?

Mo Yan looked at the information on the panel, his heart shaking.

This was not just a powerful combat unit; she even came with the ability to command battles!

The woman looked at Mo Yan with a half-smile, a probing glint in her amber eyes, carrying a hint of charm and scrutiny.

“So, you are the one who summoned me?” She spoke first, her voice melodious, yet with a peculiar charm, as if it could stir one’s heart.

“It’s me.” Mo Yan nodded, meeting her gaze, his expression calm. “From today onwards, you are a member of my territory.”

He pondered for a moment, looking at her silver-white hair and cool demeanor: “From now on, you shall be called Bai Lingyue.”

“Hint: Hero named: Bai Lingyue”

“Hint: Bai Lingyue has developed a strong interest in you, Loyalty +1”

What did she mean by that?

Interest?

“Bai Lingyue…” She murmured softly, unconsciously coiling a strand of silver-white hair around her finger, her narrow Phoenix eyes slightly narrowed. “Not a bad name, I accept it.”

She took two steps forward, her posture swaying, bringing an invisible sense of pressure, and stopped in front of Mo Yan.

The distance between them instantly became ambiguous and dangerous, and a clear, faint fragrance permeated his nostrils.

“Then, Lord.” She leaned in slightly, gazing at Mo Yan from close range, a fluffy, snowy-white fox tail silently emerged, gently brushing against Mo Yan’s cheek.

“What do you want me to… do for you?”
