After sitting cross-legged in the yard, Yang Ling found that the green energy inside his body was more intense. If it was only a green vine before, now it was a surging green river, and the blood-red witch power had completely merged into one.

  Self-healing life energy?

  Recalling the strange creatures in the forest, recalling their self-healing wounds, Yang Ling's heart stirred with doubt and he made a small cut on his right hand. Sure enough, the wound stopped bleeding automatically and healed quickly.

  Overjoyed, Yang Ling quietly felt the difference brought by the life energy. After just a moment of cultivation, he felt that the speed of the witch's power operation was faster than usual, and it was easier to absorb the heavenly spiritual energy in the courtyard. Cultivation became twice as effective with half the effort. At the same time, his consciousness moved in and out of the mysterious witch tower space with ease, as if his spiritual strength had also been greatly enhanced.

  In the mysterious Witch Tower space, many withered wooden warriors transformed into towering trees, and the evil eyes and hornets devoured the white mist emitted by the Witch Tower.

  At some point, a vast grassland appeared in the space of Wuta, and snow-white unicorns and small unicorns frolicked on the grassland without stopping. After seeing Yang Ling's figure, the little unicorn ran over like a whirlwind, since being tamed by dripping blood, this lovely little guy had been particularly clingy.

  Riding the unicorn on the vast grassland for a few laps, Yang Ling felt that the entire space seemed to have expanded a lot. Faintly, he felt that all this was related to the green life energy in his body. It seemed that the stronger the green life energy, the faster the cultivation of magic would be. As the magical power deepened rapidly, the mysterious space where the magic tower was located also grew larger.

  "Adult, adult....."

  Just as Yang Ling was about to carefully explore the Witch Tower space, a faint cry came over. Opening his eyes and going out to take a look, he saw the old butler standing at the door with a big sweat on his head.

  "Adult, you want the girl..." Mulberry hesitated a bit.

  "Oh, what's wrong? Can't find it?"

  Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mulberry said nervously: "No, sir, it's not that we can't find anyone, but there are too many people, almost bursting through the city gate!"

  Are the city gates almost bursting?

  Yang Ling shook his head in confusion, and only understood what was going on after the explanation of Old Butler Mulberry.

  It turned out that after the news of Yang Ling looking for a beautiful girl to serve him spread, the entire town of Weisen was in an uproar. Yang Ling had wealth and power, plus he was handsome and elegant, so he had long been the object of admiration for many young girls. For them, it wasn't just about being his personal maid, but even being his mistress without any official status would be acceptable. Not to mention that Yang Ling was still unmarried, and who knows when his personal maid might become his real lover.

  Wang Lao Wu, Diamond Wang Lao Wu!

  In the eyes of the townspeople, Yang Ling was born into a wealthy family, and marrying his daughter off to him would be equivalent to climbing a big tree and leaning on a treasure basin. Not to mention anything else, at least the dowry could make them eat for a lifetime, so they all brought their daughters to participate in Yang Ling's selection.

  "Adults, perhaps... is it a bit rushed for oneself to choose beautiful maidservants like this?"

  As the butler of a wealthy family for many years, Mulberry has rich experience. For Yang Ling's selection without any preparation, he feels that it is simply a shame to the dignity of the nobility. If he were in charge, at least one month's preparation would be needed.

  Choose beautiful maidservants for yourself?

  Yang Ling almost fainted, realizing that the old steward had misunderstood his meaning. "Mulberry, what's all this nonsense? The hotel is about to open and I just wanted to hire some female waitresses!"

  Barmaid?

  Mulberry's head was as big as a basin, this misunderstanding, unexpected, really too unexpected. He didn't expect Yang Ling to say in public that he wanted to choose pretty girls to serve people; under the misunderstanding, he didn't think that Yang Ling was recruiting female servants for the hotel that was about to open.

  "Sir, what about... those villagers outside?" Muirbach's throat felt bitter as he thought of the passionate and fiery townspeople.

  "You take care of this yourself, find a good candidate and come back to see me tonight!"

  As the saying goes, the power of the masses is mighty. Yang Ling didn't want to go out and be drowned by everyone's gossip. With Mu Erbao as a free shield, why not use him?

  Shaking his head and smiling wryly, seeing Yang Ling turn around and leave, the old steward hesitated for a moment before speaking up in a stiff tone: "Sir, there's another matter, Miss Sofia she..."

  "Oh, what's wrong with Sophia?"

  "Miss Sofia rushed over from the Spirit Tribe early this morning, saying you were going to choose... She... she burst into tears and ran out on the spot!" This misunderstanding had blown up, Mulberry felt dizzy and forced himself to say: "Worried that she was in danger, I immediately let Kassy lead the guards to chase after her, but there's been no news until now, only a note found on the Griffin!"

  The note left by Sophia was simple, with only a few words written on it: "Yang Ling, I hate you".

  "You silly girl!" Yang Ling summoned the unicorn and rode on it, "Mulberry, quickly mobilize everyone to find Sophia's whereabouts, hurry up!"

  Before the words had fallen, Yang Ling rode off on his unicorn. The villagers blocking the door only felt a white shadow flying over their heads, and before they could react, Yang Ling had already disappeared.

  Sophia had no friends in Visen Town except for Visen Castle and the Night Jasmine Inn, she wouldn't go anywhere else. Could it be that she directly ran back to the Elf Tribe under her sorrow?

  As the sun sets behind the western mountains, Yang Ling's eyebrows furrowed. At dusk, the magical beasts in the Tras Forest are most active, and even a great swordsman wouldn't dare to venture out alone at this time. With Sophia's weak physical strength, encountering ferocious magical beasts would be extremely dangerous.

  There was no Griffin to ride, and Sophia's physical strength was absolutely unable to walk far in the forest. So Yang Ling rode a unicorn and rushed to the outskirts of the forest near Visen Town. But after turning around for a few laps, he didn't find any trace of Sophia, but instead encountered several sneaky thieves-like guys.

  "A few brave warriors, have you seen a fairy girl passing by here?" Yang Ling had to ask the several thief-like guys in front of him. Maybe even a blind cat could hit a dead mouse.

  "Oh, so it's Lord Yang after all. I'm Ak Su, the cousin of Agu Su." A young man with a vegetable-like complexion quickly recovered from being startled by Yang Ling's sudden appearance and took the initiative to establish a connection with him.

  "Oh, what a coincidence!" Yang Ling forced a smile and continued: "Akesu, have you seen an elf girl passing by from the nearby road?"

  "I wonder..." Akusu thought for a moment, then said: "This afternoon, I was taking a nap under a big tree when I heard a woman scream. When I went over to take a look, a very beautiful elf with pointed ears was climbing out of a hole, crying and running into the forest, without even noticing that her handkerchief had fallen out. Could she be the person you're looking for?"

  After taking the handkerchief from Ak Su's hand, Yang Ling gently smelled it and found a faint, unique fragrance that belonged to Sophia. Who would have thought that he had actually stumbled upon something by chance?

  "Akesu, take your brother to see my steward, he will give you some reward money, go!"

  After a brief explanation, Yang Ling rode off swiftly on his unicorn, having obtained Sofia's specific direction. From now on, it would be much easier. At the same time, he gave a few crystal coins to these idle rascals as a token of gratitude. Although they were up to no good all day long, they were extremely well-informed about minor rumors and gossip, and might still come in handy someday.
