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

"...Brother-in-law, why are you laughing so lewdly?"

In the misty ghost city, clad in a plain white vestment robe, Shen Miao rubbed her arms, feeling somewhat uneasy and wary as she stared at the giant mantis before her. "And you laugh lewdly while looking at me... What's up? You're not planning on making a move on me, are you?"

The girl who had never left Tianjiao City gazed warily at Li Muyang.

Still immersed in the blissful confusion from moments before, Li Muyang finally snapped back to reality, looking down at the girl beneath him.

"You can see my expression? Uh..."

After speaking, Li Muyang realized he had just asked a foolish question.

Obviously, if Shen Miao could see his face through the giant mantis, she could see his expression and smile as well.

Realizing this, Li Muyang cleared his throat, forcibly sobered his expression, and restrained his smile.

"What's this about laughing lewdly... You, girl, are spouting nonsense."

Li Muyang stubbornly denied it. "I just suddenly thought of something joyful, that's all, so I laughed. You, young lady, have all sorts of chaotic thoughts in your head."

"Let alone you, even your sister is of no interest to me."

"How many times have I told you, I am not your brother-in-law, it's all your Sect Hierarch uncle's random matchmaking!"

Having stubbornly finished his denial, Li Muyang immediately shifted the topic seamlessly. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire

"Speaking of which, this Western White Tiger is quite troublesome, do you have any good ideas?"

Li Muyang forcefully changed the subject.

The mage, Shen Miao, looked at him speechlessly and hummed softly, "Western White Tiger... huh..."

The girl clearly noticed Li Muyang was distracted.

But she couldn't figure out why.

After all, Li Muyang was locked in a pitch-black prison, without any contact with the outside world.

Her sister, Shen Yan, hadn't visited the prison for two days.

Shen Miao pondered, speculating meanwhile, "Brother-in-law, you... you wouldn't have been hooking up with another woman behind my sister's back, would you?"

"That smile of yours was clearly one of thinking about a woman!"

Shen Miao tried to clarify the situation, but Li Muyang didn't give her the chance to ask further.

"Thinking my head! I'm locked up in this pitch-black prison, I can barely see any living people, let alone women. What women could I possibly be thinking about."

Righteously denying the girl's suspicion, Li Muyang controlled the giant mantis to move forward, quickly entering the secret realm of the White Tiger.

The massive Western White Tiger, roaring, manifested in the secret realm.

Infinite divine weapons and blades flew spinning through this realm.

It seemed like a massive smelting factory or an ancient battlefield in ruins.

The divine beast White Tiger, standing at the center of the realm, wielded the power of metal, and instantly countless flying swords headed towards the giant mantis.

The reason Li Muyang stayed in the prison, unyielding to leave, was not hidden from Yan Xiaoru.

He indeed intended to stay in the prison to strategyze the game.

But if Yan Xiaoru had rescued him, and he then went missing in the prison, eventually Shen Miao discovering his identity as an undercover agent of the Demon Sect…

Li Muyang was uncertain whether this young lady would still want to join him in breaking the Four Symbols Formation.

Though Shen Miao should harbor hatred towards the Blood Lotus Sect, even towards Fang Yingtian.

Yet, she cared quite a bit about her sister Shen Yan.

All the actions Li Muyang was about to take meant betraying Shen Yan, who knows how Shen Miao would react upon finding out?

Thus, to be safe, it was best to keep playing the game inside the prison and not to disrupt the current situation for now.

Li Muyang denied the girl's speculations and took her inside the White Tiger's secret realm.

As the divine beast White Tiger charged at them, Shen Miao had no time to inquire further and immediately retaliated.

This spirit young girl trapped inside the Tianjiao City was even slightly stronger than the current giant mantis.

She fought alongside the giant mantis, taking the lead in the attack.

And the two had already been stuck at the White Tiger Secret Realm checkpoint for several days.

...

After Yan Xiaoru left, Li Muyang's prison life returned to tranquility once again.

No more unwelcome visitors came to disturb him.

Even Shen Yan, who often came to discuss the city's situation with him, became so preoccupied with the escalating situation and fierce clashes that she had not visited the prison for several days.

During his game strategy sessions, Li Muyang listened to Shen Miao's description of the external situation and deduced the current state of affairs in the city.

For the Blood Lotus Sect, this turmoil was surely capable of shaking its foundation.

Yet, if they did not consolidate power this time and continued to let the subordinate helm and fragrance masters expand their influence, the Blood Lotus Sect would ultimately face division.

By then, the death toll would likely be even higher.

At the core, the Blood Lotus Sect's past mode of operation consisted of independent fights and dominance in different territories.

Now, Fang Yingtian wanted to change the sect's mode to centralization, making this turmoil inevitable.

Both sides were still trying to restrain themselves and hadn't completely turned against each other yet.

Fang Yingtian, holding the power of the four Ding, could strip disciples of their sect membership, making them lose the ability to resurrect after death.

The helm and fragrance masters unwilling to submit, who had operated their branches for many years with loyal subordinates, could instigate rebellion at their command.

Neither side wanted to resort to extremities unless absolutely necessary, but given the intensity of the situation, neither was willing to back down easily...

From Li Muyang's perspective, Tianjiao City was like a pot of boiling hot oil at that moment.

Anything that fell into it would cause the oil to boil over instantly.

During the wait, he and Shen Miao finally, though with difficulty, conquered the White Tiger Secret Realm and pulled out the White Tiger Banner.

At that moment in the Four Symbols Formation, only the last Black Tortoise Banner remained.

Li Muyang, carrying the joyful Shen Miao, headed toward the location of the Black Tortoise Banner.

As long as they pulled out this last directional banner, they could save Shen Miao and finish the game.

However, just at that moment, the arrival of dreadful news panicked Shen Miao, who was initially exhilarated.

She suddenly jumped down from the top of the Verdant Knife Mantis, extremely agitated, and said to Li Muyang,

"This is bad, brother-in-law, my sister has been attacked!"

The girl, who had been joyous and excited moments ago, now had a pale face and was exceedingly anxious.

"Just now, I saw from my sister's perspective that she was covertly attacked and has already fainted!"

"You must go back and see how she is, don't let it be like Aunt Mei!"

Shen Miao was extremely anxious.

Upon hearing this news, Li Muyang was momentarily stunned, with a surprised look of astonishment.

"Shen Yan was attacked?"

On hearing this news, Li Muyang felt a surge of concern in his heart.

He didn't harbor much resentment towards Shen Yan, the enchantress of the Blood Lotus Sect; in fact, Shen Yan had taken good care of him.

But thinking of the consequences of Shen Yan's attack, Li Muyang swallowed, murmuring,

"It's going to explode, this time it will really explode..."

With Shen Yan's attack, the boiling pot of oil that was Tianjiao City was bound to explode!

Next, either Fang Yingtian would annihilate the opposition, or those dissatisfied helm and fragrance masters would force their victory!

And at this moment of total loss of control, it was exactly the opportunity Yan Xiaoru had been waiting for.

Li Muyang's heart grew cold as he realized the pressure upon him.

Once Yan Xiaoru made her move, he too must respond.

Once the uprising started, they had to succeed in one go, putting an end to the turmoil in the Blood Lotus Sect once and for all!
