The Game with Fairies

Through the perspective of Emerald Blade Mantis, Li Muyang saw the girl’s happy smile and fell silent once more.

The girl’s smile was pure and adorable, innocent and guileless.

But the happier and cuter she appeared, the more tragic it seemed when combined with her life circumstances.

Even Li Muyang, who ‘considered himself’ to have a heart of stone and lacking in sympathy, couldn’t help but feel a stir of emotion at the sight of the girl’s cheerful smile at this moment.

Li Muyang inside the barrel sighed softly.

The Emerald Blade Mantis in the game wrote a line on the ground.

【If I throw food into the Four Directions Cauldron, will you be able to receive it?】

“Yeah, yeah, just sneak it into the cauldron!”

The girl became happy upon seeing Li Muyang’s question: “Are you going to bring me food?”

Li Muyang’s response, however, was somewhat indifferent.

【I’ll do it if I have the chance later】

After controlling the Emerald Blade Mantis to write this message, Li Muyang made the giant mantis turn around and walk towards the depths of the ghostly fog.

The girl’s life was somewhat pitiful, but there wasn’t much Li Muyang could do to help.

Having ascertained the reality of the place, Li Muyang didn’t want to waste time and continued to hunt and evolve in the fog.

But the girl’s voice came from behind.

“It’s okay if you can’t. Just come and talk to me when you have time.”

“Li Muyang, will you come again tomorrow?”

The girl’s voice was full of hope and a touch of nervousness.

The giant mantis in the mist fell silent for a moment, then lifted its jade-green giant scythe-like arms and waved gently, as a response.

Then, the ten-zhang-long giant mantis disappeared into the mist.

Only the girl named Shen Miao remained standing on the city wall, watching its figure leave with envy.

“So amazing…”

“To go wherever one wishes.”

The girl sighed with envy and suddenly remembered something, shouting loudly into the mist outside.

“Then I’ll wait for you tomorrow!”

And so, Li Muyang’s evolution hunting game suddenly included a new daily task.

–Visiting the ghost city every day to chat with the noisy girl.

The giant Emerald Blade Mantis had an astonishing attack power, but it took the path of beastiality, lacking the ability to speak as it hadn’t refined its throat bone.

Li Muyang could only communicate with the girl by writing.

And he didn’t stay long each day, usually only about ten minutes.

The method of communicating by writing was too cumbersome and time-consuming.

Although the girl had a strong desire to talk, she had endless topics to discuss every day when she saw Li Muyang.

Whatever Li Muyang wanted to know, the girl would answer without reservation.

She had two perspectives to observe the outside world, one on her sister Shen Yan and the other on the current leader of the Blood Lotus Sect.

She could see what Shen Yan and the Blood Lotus Sect leader were doing every day.

These two individuals were the pinnacle of the Blood Lotus Sect’s existence today.

Indeed, through her, Li Muyang gained a clear understanding of the current situation of the Blood Lotus Sect.

Having just repelled the Demon Refining Sect’s attack and finally gaining a foothold in Tianjiao City, the Blood Lotus Sect should have been thriving.

However, this sect, which used to be scattered and fought independently, was now forcefully united and continuously experiencing internal disagreements.

These disagreements could not be completely resolved when the Demonic Sect’s army was pressing in.

Now that the peace talks have ended and the Demonic Sect’s army has withdrawn, the external pressure has temporarily disappeared, and the disputes among the various branch hall masters and incense masters have become intense.

Even Shen Yan’s authority seemed somewhat ineffective at this time.

Shen Miao told Li Muyang that in the past few days, several helmsmen and incense masters of the Blood Lotus Sect had argued several times in the city lord’s mansion, and on two occasions, they even came to blows.

Regarding the direction of expansion after Tianjiao City, the various helmsmen and incense masters had different opinions.

Li Muyang was not interested in the disputes among the high ranks of the Blood Lotus Sect, but he could vaguely sense that the tension in Tianjiao City was intensifying.

Outside the courtyard where he lived, Shen Yan had arranged for several martial guards with accomplished body cultivation to stand guard.

Although Shen Yan did not state the reason, Li Muyang knew that this was to guard against retaliation from Nangong Ting and Liu Hucheng.

In the eyes of Shen Yan and the Blood Lotus Sect leader, Li Muyang, with his Martial God Tyrant Body, was a promising seedling worth cultivating.

But that might not be the case in the eyes of others.

Li Muyang, feeling these changes within the Blood Lotus Sect, did not say much but wrote this information in a report letter sent back to the Demonic Sect headquarters every three days.

It was still the same old saying; he didn’t believe Gong Yanghong could swallow this grievance.

And on the fifth day of meeting the lonely girl Shen Miao, Li Muyang received an invitation he couldn’t refuse.

–The leader of the Blood Lotus Sect invited Li Muyang to a banquet tonight.

The person who delivered the invitation was none other than Shen Yan, who was usually busy.

“The leader has high hopes for you and wants to meet and talk with you again,” Shen Yan said with a smile as she handed over the invitation.

Despite the blazing summer, her pale fingers were somewhat cold.

On the night of the victory banquet in Tianjiao City, Li Muyang had met the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect and exchanged a few words under Shen Yan’s introduction.

But there were many people at the banquet, and soon Li Muyang was taken away by Shen Yan.

Tonight’s invitation, however, was for a somewhat family dinner.

The Blood Lotus Sect leader was actually inviting Li Muyang to his home for a meal.

Such high regard would have made anyone else grateful and overwhelmed.

Li Muyang also cooperated by pretending to be very touched. After bathing and changing clothes, he left with Shen Yan.

The two stepped onto Shen Yan’s exquisite and sturdy carriage, escorted by a dozen beast knights, they passed through the city’s market streets, heading towards the residence of the sect leader.

At this time, Tianjiao City had regained its former prosperity.

Although it was already night, the streets were bustling with people, and the lights were bright.

Shen Yan leaned by the window, chatting softly with Li Muyang, talking about some interesting anecdotes.

The sound of the woman’s light laughter, mixed with the noise from the streets outside the carriage window, created a picture of peaceful times.

Li Muyang, being in the midst of it all, calmed his mind and stopped thinking about matters related to the game.

But just then, the carriage suddenly stopped.

The bustling noise from the streets outside the window had disappeared without notice.

The air, now eerily silent, was tinged with a somber pressure.

From outside the carriage’s curtain, the deep voice of Banner Master Ruan Mei could be heard.

“…Miss, it’s Du Qi.”

As soon as Ruan Mei’s voice fell, a man’s carefree laughter echoed from ahead.

“The guy inside the carriage, you’re called Li Muyang, right?”

“Du Qi, a Banner Master of the Yubo Hall, has long heard of your fame. I’ve heard you’re strong and broke through the tens of thousands of half-demon army of the Lihai Hall alone on Pingyang Hill.”

“Do you dare to come out and spar with me for a couple of rounds?!”

The man’s arrogant laughter rang out, and inside the carriage, Shen Yan rubbed her temples with a troubled expression.

“This person…”

Shen Yan looked at Li Muyang and said, “This person has been pursuing Nangong Ting for two years now.”
