Once, I wanted to be a good person

Amid the battle, she also remembered Fang Ze's instruction to her: she needed to enhance her own strength.

So, every night, she had the Shadow Warrior, Nv Dao, give her specialized training.

Perhaps due to her talent and Awakening Ability, which were indeed astonishing, and under the influence of the World's Laws, it only took her a mere half a month to reach Muscle Tempering Perfection. Given more time, she was likely to break through to the Tendon Tempering realm!

This further enhanced her strength.

As her strength increased, the Dark Soldiers she summoned with her Awakening Ability also became stronger. Hence, she not only controlled the entire situation but even started to show signs of a counterattack, successfully expanding her territory and once again occupying two streets.

And this evening, right after concluding a meeting, she prepared to launch a total assault the day after tomorrow, aiming to annihilate those gangs and desperados who had just stepped into the slum area, successfully unifying the entire area!

Turning the whole slum into the domain of the Devil Sect!

During these half-month-long battles, she never forgot that all of this was for her Lord Devil!

So, she collected a few interesting Extraordinary Artifacts and exchanged for some crystals, intending to offer them to Fang Ze.

Among these Extraordinary Artifacts,

was a Sunny Doll that would cause localized light rain to fall when turned upside down.

was a feather pen that could locate people.

was a ring that, when worn, made one feel comfortably warm....

Fang Ze listened quietly to Miaomiao's experiences during this period and was truly a bit shocked.

Although his own progress had been fast, upon closer reflection, the girl's transformation was even more tremendous.

And he also understood why the character "One" on the iron gate had been glowing brighter lately.

He guessed it was mostly because Miaomiao had formed a sect, and by relying on war, had increased the Believers' cohesion, making them more devoted to him.

And those interesting artifacts, although not very useful. But... at least showed that the girl in his presence had transformed from a silly girl who always needed his help, who only knew to cry and pray to him, into a capable associate who could stand on her own!

This sense of accomplishment in cultivating her was what truly made Fang Ze feel happy.

Thinking this way, Fang Ze pondered for a moment, about to decline the girl's offering and let her keep these items for her own development.

But, as the words reached his lips, Fang Ze suddenly hesitated.

Because he suddenly felt... that he should not reject the girl's offering.

He and the girl were no longer just in a simple "master-servant" relationship.

The girl was now his spokesperson in Qingshan City; behind her were hundreds of thousands of citizens who believed in him.

These items were not personally for him from the girl, but offerings from those Believers to him as a "Deity."

What would it mean for a Deity to refuse his Believers' offerings? Would it not acknowledge their status?

Realizing this, Fang Ze immediately felt that he had almost made a foolish mistake.

He felt that as a "Deity," he should not refuse his Believers' offerings. Instead, he should accept them and then bestow his blessings on them, supporting their development.

Letting the Believers both feel satisfaction from the Deity about their development and feel the grace of the Deity, which would make them even more devoted and content.

Moreover, he was already planning to lend things to Miaomiao.

This way, he wouldn't even have to look for an excuse to lend things to Miaomiao.

With this in mind, Fang Ze finally made up his mind.

Then he looked at Miaomiao, with his mysterious, husky voice, said, "The importance of the offerings lies not in their value, but in your devotion."

"Although these items are not of much use to me, I have received your sentiments."

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Miaomiao's face indeed showed a happy expression! Enjoy new stories from empire

Then she lifted up part of her sarong, taking out several artifacts and a bag of crystals that she had been keeping close to her body and knelt on the ground, respectfully handing them to Fang Ze.

Clearly, the girl had been carrying these Offerings to be ready at any moment to offer them to her Lord Devil....

Having received the girl's offerings, Fang Ze looked at her and said, "Since you have presented your devotion, then as your deity, I should also bestow my grace on you."

"Since you are preparing for war with other gangs, I shall grant you a Fusion-level war artifact to aid you."

At this, Fang Ze silently called in his mind, "Lending!"

Following his call, the winged rabbit appeared again before him.

Fang Ze silently recited, "Bind the first Lending object: Miaomiao, and lend Miaomiao the Spirit Binding usage rights. Interest... 100%."

Alongside Fang Ze's muttering, the rabbit mechanically repeated, "Binding successful, Lending effective!"

After that, it turned into a golden light that fell upon both Fang Ze and Miaomiao.

In just a moment, Fang Ze felt some kind of connection forming between him and Miaomiao.

He could seemingly check some information about Miaomiao, her status, view her "debts" to him, and check what of hers he could use.

With this thought, Fang Ze mentally prodded.

And suddenly, Miaomiao's basic information appeared in front of Fang Ze.

[Debt: Spirit Binding, 300 Credit points daily. Shadow Warrior (Dao), 20 Credit points daily. Muscle Dew Grass, 50 Credit points daily. Interest: 100%.]
