The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

The dark prison was deathly silent.

Li Muyang, with his eyes slightly closed, sat on a pile of straw in the corner of the cell and entered the game.

"...Brother-in-law, you won't be in trouble, will you?"

In the fog-enshrouded ghost town, Shen Miao, dressed in white, sat atop the head of a mantis, asking with a tone of concern.

The girl could not see that Li Muyang was in prison, but she could see through the perspectives of her sister Shen Yan and the Sect Hierarch Fang Yingtian.

In the half an hour since Li Muyang was captured and locked up, both Shen Yan and Fang Yingtian had already reacted.

And both of their actions were seen clearly by Shen Miao, who naturally understood Li Muyang's situation by now.

The girl, who had just been immersed in the joy of pulling out the Azure Dragon banner, was suddenly filled with depression and worry.

She carefully crawled on top of the mantis, stretching her arms to embrace the large mantis head beneath her, murmuring, "I see my sister is very angry, the first time I've seen her this angry…"

"Brother-in-law, you're not going to die this time, are you?"

Shen Miao looked worried.

Within the Blood Lotus Sect, the death penalty is a very light punishment.

After all, followers of the Blood Lotus Sect can be reborn after death, so the death penalty is only a form of discipline for them.

But Li Muyang was different; his soul had not entered the Sifang Cauldron, and the blood oath he had made at the time was blocked by the talisman given by the Refinement Demon Sect.

If Li Muyang died, he could not be reborn in the Sifang Cauldron.

Others might not know this, but Shen Miao was acutely aware, being the current holder of the Sifang Cauldron.

The girl was clearly worried that Li Muyang would be sentenced to death.

Li Muyang in the cell felt the girl's concern, yet he shook his head indifferently.

"I won't die."

Facing the people sent by the Blood Lotus Sect Leader to capture him, Li Muyang did not resist and allowed himself to be captured willingly.

He believed that he would not die so easily.

He didn't trust Fang Yingtian's character, but he believed that the man was not a fool.

Emperor Chongzhen in his previous life pushed out his subjects to take the blame whenever something went wrong, unwilling to take any responsibility himself. After such scapegoats became numerous, no ministers were willing to serve him to the death, everyone began to shirk responsibility and protect themselves until the rebel army invaded the city...

Fang Yingtian could be a hero or a villain, but he could not possibly be possessed by Emperor Chongzhen.

If he were like Emperor Chongzhen, he could never have established the foundation of the Blood Lotus Sect.

This capture of Li Muyang definitely had another purpose.

Even if, worst comes to worst, Fang Yingtian needed to kill his "close confidant" who did the dirty work to appease public anger, Li Muyang could still run away.

With the power of his Martial God Domineering Body, running for his life would not pose a big problem, at least escaping Tianjiao City should be feasible.

Li Muyang was not worried about his life at all; he was content to stay in the prison and play the game.

Before long, Shen Yan appeared outside the cell.

A woman in a heavy cloak, pale-faced, holding a lamp, came to the outside of the cell.

She did not bring any attendants, but came alone.

Seeing Li Muyang in the cell, Shen Yan gave a bitter smile and said, "Muyang, are you alright?"

Li Muyang opened his eyes, then rose from the corner, appearing in Shen Yan's view.

"I'm unharmed," Li Muyang said calmly, asking, "So, what does the Sect Leader plan to do with me? Enforce punishments, kill me once? Or multiple times?"

The act of Fang Yingtian sending people to capture him was too odd.

It was so strange that Li Muyang couldn't quite understand.

He was very curious about what the Blood Lotus Sect Leader really intended by capturing him this time.

Only to hear Shen Yan sigh and say, "I haven't gone to see the Sect Leader yet. When I heard you were thrown into the dungeon, I came to see you first."

"Seeing that you are well comforts me greatly,"

Shen Yan, holding a lantern, said, "From what I know of the Sect Hierarch, he would not arrest you just because of the malicious slander from those petty people."

"Today's event must have other reasons."

In this regard, Shen Yan and Li Muyang shared the same judgment.

Looking at Li Muyang, who appeared unfazed in his cell, Shen Yan gently comforted him, "I will go and seek an audience with the Sect Hierarch shortly and ask for the truth. Before that, Muyang, stay calm and don't panic."

"Although those petty people have slandered you maliciously, the Sect Hierarch discerns right from wrong and will not be misled by their calumnies,"

Shen Yan had great confidence in her Sect Hierarch uncle.

After taking stock of Li Muyang's situation, she carefully inquired about the details before and after Li Muyang's arrest as well as his recent experiences.

Finally, Shen Yan nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Muyang, you rest here for now. I will go to see the Sect Hierarch immediately."

After comforting Li Muyang, Shen Yan hurriedly left.

Li Muyang watched Shen Yan's departing figure, shook his head, and returned to his original position to sit on a straw pile and closed his eyes.

The Game with the Fairies, begin!

Within the mist-shrouded ghost town, the Praying Mantis controlled by Li Muyang, carrying Shen Miao, arrived at the southern formation of the Four Symbols.

A giant Vermilion Bird flag stood in the middle of the town, emitting a scorching aura.

Just as Li Muyang was about to enter with Shen Miao, the girl lying on top of the mantis abruptly called out.

"Wait a minute! Brother-in-law, wait a minute!"

The girl hurriedly called out, asking Li Muyang not to go in yet.

She lay on top of Li Muyang's head, eyes wide open as if observing something.

She said, "My sister and Uncle Fang are meeting. Let me see what they are discussing first."

Shen Miao was very concerned about the safety of Li Muyang, her "brother-in-law."

Li Muyang also stopped, controlling the Praying Mantis to stand still, waiting for the girl above him.

Shen Miao lay on the mantis's top, eagerly watching the mortal world's scene while relaying the situation to Li Muyang below.

"Sister asked Uncle Fang why he suddenly decided to arrest you today..."

"Hmm… Uncle Fang said someone presented many pieces of evidence of your crimes..."

Shen Miao, eyes wide, watched the events unfolding in the mortal realm and continuously relayed them to Li Muyang.

Ever since "Endless Evolution" evolved from a fun game into a clearance game, the Praying Mantis controlled by Li Muyang finally gained the ability to speak.

He and Shen Miao's conversation no longer required writing and could be seamlessly communicated.

Listening to Shen Miao continuously relay the on-site situation, Li Muyang held his forehead and sighed.

"Very well, there indeed was a reason..."

As Shen Miao kept relaying, Li Muyang also came to understand the reason behind his arrest.

Within the Blood Lotus Sect, someone had presented Fang Yingtian with numerous pieces of evidence of Li Muyang abusing his power and even fabricating confessions.

Confronted with such ironclad evidence, Fang Yingtian had no choice but to imprison Li Muyang first.

After learning the cause and effect, Li Muyang softly lamented that those who hated him were not only spreading rumors, but were more cunning than he had expected.

Within the Enforcement Hall, there was a disciple who had been bribed.

The bribed disciple provided much false information and fabricated evidence. As Li Muyang led the arrests, disciples who hadn't committed any crimes didn't dispute the accusations but rather confessed, until the Sect Hierarch Fang Yingtian returned. Those who had been punished as 'innocent people' immediately recanted their statements, claiming they were forced into confession by Li Muyang.

Together with the prepared exonerations, combined with many pieces of evidence, Li Muyang immediately became portrayed as a villain who abused his power and persecuted fellow disciples.

This framing and entrapment strategy indeed caught Li Muyang off guard.
