The Game with Fairies

The warm breath of the young girl gently brushed Li Muyang’s ear.

He immediately turned his head away, annoyed as he scratched his itchy ear.

“Why are you getting so close if you’re using a voice transmission?”

Li Muyang said exasperatedly, “Being all secretive… What big news have you heard? Don’t tell me you know the whereabouts of an immortal weapon?”

Don’t you know about keeping a distance between men and women?

And it’s ticklish!

Li Muyang was somewhat speechless.

But the girl blinked, unconcerned with Li Muyang’s disdain, and instead said with a grin, “As expected of brother! You guessed right! It’s about the location of an immortal weapon!”

Pride shone in Li Yuechan’s eyes.

Her proud little expression was just short of wagging a tail behind her, waiting for Li Muyang to praise her.

Li Muyang, who was cleaning his ears, was stunned for a moment, instinctively disbelieving the news.

“Ah? Really?”

He looked skeptically at his little sister, doubting that she was just fooling him.

Was an inner disciple like his little sister qualified to know about an immortal weapon?

Even Ning Wan’er, a direct disciple, might not get the news right away, right?

Li Yuechan hummed proudly and transmitted her voice, “Of course it’s true. Wan’er sister said that we should get the exact news in a few days.”

“That immortal weapon is likely related to the demons from the Blood Lotus Sect. Maybe we can complete the mission in a couple of days.”

Li Yuechan cheerfully shared the latest news with her brother.

Li Muyang rolled his eyes and said, “After all that, you still haven’t heard the exact location of the immortal weapon, have you?”

Is this newly emerged immortal weapon related to the Blood Lotus Sect?

Could it be that the chat group will have another madman from the Blood Lotus Sect?

Tsk… Thinking about the teachings of the Blood Lotus Sect, suddenly it seems that scene would be quite amusing.

Li Muyang wasn’t interested in the Blood Lotus Sect or the immortal weapon.

After all, he already had an immortal weapon in his possession, though he dared not flaunt it at the moment.

After finishing his dinner for the day, Li Muyang went back to the inn as usual and started playing the game.

He had no interest in the intrigue and deception of Tianjiao City.

As Li Muyang closed his eyes, darkness engulfed his surroundings.

Soon, Li Muyang arrived at the wilderness in front of Red Ridge Mountain, where he met the old general who looked like a farmer with a hoe, along with Fairy Liuli. ȓ

Li Muyang skillfully went through the plot, then took Fairy Liuli and started to flee.

He became very proficient in this temple run game mode.

The routes and methods of the evil creatures chasing them from behind had become deeply ingrained in his mind after dying time and again.

Li Muyang, pulling Fairy Liuli, ran wildly through the wilderness, constantly avoiding the pursuit of the evil creatures behind them.

Every time an evil creature took a different path and sprang out from a corner to intercept them, Li Muyang was almost always able to anticipate and dodge in time.

Or he would directly spit out a flying sword to cut down the opponent.

At first, Fairy Liuli was somewhat surprised, startled by the endless tricks of these strange and sinister creatures.

However, as Li Muyang managed to pull her through danger time and again, predicting the attacks of the evil beings, the fairy gradually let down her guard.

She meekly allowed Li Muyang to hold her hand, trying her best to keep up with his pace and rhythm, running wildly alongside him.

“Lord Wuming, how long must we run?” Fairy Liuli, who had been running for two hours under the still blazing sun, couldn’t help but ask.

Li Muyang, holding her hand and sprinting, replied while running, “We just need to run until dusk!”

The method previously mentioned by the old general was to find a river or a pond at dusk, soak in it, and silently think of the name of a place in the human world to leave the Ancient Grudge Well and return to the outside world.

Li Muyang, watching the sun overhead, dodged a transparent giant snake that suddenly sprang from the ground and, pulling Fairy Liuli, fled towards the southeast.

“We’re close! In about an hour, it will be dusk!”

Under the sunlight, they both ran with all their might.

The old general carrying a hoe, like a walking corpse, relentlessly pursued them from behind.

In this continuous chase, the sun above Li Muyang’s head gradually sank in the west.

Finally, the blood-red sunset cast its last rays upon the earth. Li Muyang, holding Fairy Liuli’s hand, rushed towards the river ahead, and together they leaped into the water.

The cold river water engulfed them from all sides as Li Muyang silently recited “Lijiang County” in his heart.

Darkness, like a tide, overwhelmed him.

In the last few seconds before being swallowed by darkness, Li Muyang could still see the ferocious evil creatures surging from all directions in the water, attempting to strangle him and Fairy Liuli.

But the next second, darkness engulfed everything, and the figures of those evil beings completely disappeared.

Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli, hand in hand, bobbed in the cold river water.

After a few seconds, Li Muyang’s feet finally touched solid ground.

The gates of Lijiang County’s government office appeared before them.

The morning sun pierced the sky, showering them with light.

The white-robed sorcerer Bai Feiran, who was hurrying through the government office, suddenly stopped in his tracks when he saw something, turning his head towards the two figures holding hands at the gate.

He paused, surprised.

“Fairy Chu?”

“And… uh… Mr. Guan?”

Bai Feiran’s gaze swept over the two of them, finally resting on their tightly clasped hands.

Their fingers interlocked as if afraid that letting go would cause the other to disappear.

For a moment, the white-robed sorcerer was dumbfounded, unsure what to say in the face of this scene.

Wasn’t Mystic Sword Sect’s Fairy Liuli known for her aloofness, detached from worldly emotions?

Bai Feiran looked on with a strange expression.

Seeing the sorcerer and the gates of the government office, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.

“We’re finally back!”

He had been fully focused the entire time, running non-stop with Fairy Liuli, accurately predicting every attack from the evil creatures.

Focusing so intensely for nearly ten hours without a moment’s relaxation!

In the past, fighting a boss when playing soul-type games required at most half an hour of concentration.

This time, having expended so much effort and nearly reaching the end, a failure would have been incredibly frustrating.

Fortunately, they had successfully returned to the human world.

Li Muyang let out a sigh of relief, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction after overcoming a challenging level.

He chuckled, “Mr. Bai, long time no see.”

Li Muyang instinctively began to walk forward but suddenly felt something holding him back.

Only then did he realize he was still holding Fairy Liuli’s hand.

He had been so focused on the pursuit of the evil creatures that he nearly forgot he was still dragging a fairy along.

Li Muyang quickly let go of Fairy Liuli’s hand, laughing awkwardly.

“Haha…”

At that moment, Li Muyang understood why the white-robed sorcerer was giving him that strange look.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

In front of so many people, he was intimately holding Fairy Liuli’s hand… Would the fairy be embarrassed and angry?

Li Muyang sneakily glanced at Fairy Liuli.

Yet under the scrutiny of the crowd, the aloof fairy remained indifferent.

She calmly withdrew her hand and said to the white-robed sorcerer, “Mr. Guan and I have already met with the old general…”

It seemed that Fairy Liuli was completely unconcerned about being seen holding hands with Li Muyang in front of everyone.

Seeing her so composed, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief and admired her.

This was the composure and calmness of an aloof fairy.

If this were one of those idol dramas he had seen in his previous life, this would have been the moment for a slap in the face.

Indeed, she was the fairy he admired.

Although Fairy Liuli was aloof, she was not haughty or overbearing, and her demeanor was endearing.

Li Muyang cheerfully looked towards the Lijiang County government office and said, “Please lead the way, Mr. Bai, and take us to the old general’s study.”

Back in the human world, it was time to retrieve the old general’s notes and complete the system task.

After so many days of hard work, he had finally cleared another game.

Now, Li Muyang was looking forward to the reward for this game.

Would there be an Item Advancement Talisman?

Even if there wasn’t an Item Advancement Talisman, a reward in cultivation would suffice.

With the reward from this time, he should be able to reach the Golden Core realm, right?
