The Game with Fairies

“Phew… Finally, we’ve arrived at Red Ridge Mountain.”

Standing in front of the endless red mountain range, Li Muyang let out a long sigh of relief.

They had traveled for many days, over a month in the game, and it had taken Li Muyang twenty days in reality.

They stopped and went, observing the local customs of this world during the day, and at night, Li Muyang relied on the method of reading files to probe the supernatural methods of the evil gods.

Now, having come all this way, the records in Fairy Liuli’s Qiankun Ring were already a thick stack.

Li Muyang suspected there were at least five or six hundred thousand words.

With such a large amount of information, it should at least prepare that Master Qingye from the Heavenly Origin Dynasty, right?

This Master Qingye was currently the strongest person Li Muyang knew of in this era.

Having lived for over a thousand years, his cultivation dominated his era, and it was said that he had even slain an awakened ancient deity… Although cultivation flourished in Li Muyang’s continent, no one had achieved such feats.

The game had reached this step, and what followed was the search for the old general.

As for Fairy Liuli, she was no longer so concerned about finding the old general.

What she cared more about was the thick stack of documents written along the way.

These documents must be delivered to the outside world!

Carefully placing these documents into the Qiankun Ring, Fairy Liuli looked at Li Muyang beside her and suddenly spoke.

“Lord Wuming, what should we name this document?”

Fairy Liuli asked seriously, “This document will surely be presented to the court and circulated throughout the world.”

“It needs a suitable name, and it also needs Lord Wuming’s signature.”

All these words were gathered by Li Muyang’s investigation and inquiries, narrated by him, and written by Fairy Liuli.

Fairy Liuli believed that Lord Wuming’s real name should be signed on it for the world to admire.

This document was definitely going to make history, a great deed that would benefit all beings.

That’s why she hoped that Lord Wuming would sign his real name on it.

Li Muyang, however, looked at the mountains ahead and casually said, “Just call it ‘Evil Gods Inspection Report,’ simple and clear.”

“As for the signature, sign fairy’s name. As for my name… I’m just Wuming.”

Li Muyang spoke offhandedly. Fairy Liuli looked at him seriously and said, “Lord Wuming, your name must be a fake name, right?”

Li Muyang clicked his tongue and turned to look at the serious-faced, high and cold fairy in front of him.

For some reason, he always felt that Fairy Liuli’s expressions and actions had been slightly different these past few days. But he couldn’t quite put his finger on what exactly was different.

After all, that fairy always seemed so aloof, hardly ever engaging in casual conversation on a normal day.

Li Muyang was about to speak when an elderly voice suddenly emerged from the mountain path ahead.

“Fairy Chu… you… why are you here?”

The old man’s voice, filled with surprise, interrupted the argument between Li Muyang and his companion.

Both turned their heads, only to see an old man with white hair but a burly figure standing by the roadside with a hoe on his shoulder.

He was dressed like a farmer, staring at Li Muyang and Chu Qingxue with an expression of utter astonishment.

Their gazes intersected, and Fairy Liuli’s eyes showed a hint of shock.

“General Zhong?”

Fairy Liuli quickly stepped forward to approach the old man.

Li Muyang also moved closer without drawing attention.

The two stood by the roadside, about a zhang away from the farmer-like old general.

Fairy Liuli was incredulous: “General Zhong! Are you really here? Why are you dressed like this?”

Fairy Liuli couldn’t believe her eyes as she scrutinized the old general in farmer’s clothing.

Li Muyang, on the other hand, was looking at the blood bar above the old general’s head.

A light yellow blood bar, 【Zhong Daoyuan】.

Good, it was indeed General Zhong of the Ever-Victorious Army.

Facing these two living beings from the human world, General Zhong looked around anxiously and hurriedly came closer, whispering.

“I thought I was seeing things from afar. It turns out it really is Fairy Chu…”

General Zhong whispered, “While it’s still early, you two should hurry back to the human world.”

“This place is the legendary Ancient Grudge Well, the source of calamity. The creatures on this land may seem harmless, but they are all bizarre and evil beings.”

“And as night falls, this land will be engulfed in darkness, with strange and terrifying ancient gods roaming in the dark, bringing instant death to those who see them.”

“Yo

The old general spoke urgently, urging them to leave.

However, after he finished, he found that the two young people in front of him were calm and not at all surprised by his words as if they already knew.

General Zhong paused, then suddenly thought of something.

“Fairy Chu, how long have you been in this well world?”

“It’s been thirty-seven days, General Zhong.”

Fairy Liuli glanced at Li Muyang beside her and said, “Lord Wuming and I have been wandering this land for thirty-seven days since we entered the Ancient Grudge Well.”

“We are already aware of the dangers you mentioned.”

“Now that we have met you, we intend to take you back to the human world, away from this peril.”

“We also want to inform the world about the situation here so that my master and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau are aware of the true state of the Ancient Grudge Well.”

Fairy Liuli spoke seriously, informing him of the situation.

General Zhong, however, was taken aback and then sighed bitterly.

“Did you come looking for me? I appreciate your kindness, but unfortunately, I can no longer return to the human world.”

“This well world is strange, but it is my final resting place. Apart from this place, I have nowhere else to go.”

“You should leave quickly. Do not linger here.”

“At dusk, when day and night intersect, find any lake or river, immerse yourself in the water, and silently think of a place in the human world, and you will be able to return. Do not stay here!”

General Zhong spoke, trying to persuade them, but Fairy Liuli frowned slightly.

“What do you mean, old general? Why can’t you go anywhere else?”

The old man with the hoe was about to speak when suddenly a sharp, thin laugh came from behind him.

“Oh my… isn’t that the Fairy Chu from the Mystic Sword Sect?”

From the mud beneath the old man’s feet, a dull, hoarse growl sounded.

“The high and mighty fairy of the Mystic Sword Sect dares to set foot in the Ancient Grudge Well? The disciples of Master Qingye are truly persistent spirits!”

Li Muyang’s eyelids twitched violently, and a blood-red system prompt popped up in his vision.

【You have entered combat phase】

Damn it… even in the daytime, there are evil beings in this Ancient Grudge Well?

He immediately grabbed Chu Qingxue’s wrist and pulled the Fairy Liuli back forcefully, distancing themselves from the old man.

Under the midday sun, the old man holding the hoe seemed to faint, his head drooping weakly, standing there with a vacant and dull gaze.

But the voice on his back was sharp and laughing, emitting a spine-chilling, nauseating laugh.

“The fairy of the Mystic Sword Sect, eh… such tender skin and flesh, I really want to taste what it’s like.”
