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

The innocent look in my younger sister's eyes and her genuinely pure exclamation made Li Muyang's face redden with stark lines.

This darn girl...

She knew about the special relationship between Yan Xiaoru and Li Muyang.

Indeed, the more he looked at this little girl, the more cunning he found her to be.

In front of the maids and servants, she intentionally teased him with this seemingly innocent tone...

However, hearing that it was Yan Xiaoru who had paid the money made Li Muyang sigh.

"Since it was Elder Yan who paid, I'll make a note of her kindness and repay her another day," he said.

Li Muyang's identity as a Direct Disciple was actually somewhat awkward and strange.

Theoretically, Direct Disciples are apprentices to a certain Elder who imparts the Cultivation Technique.

For instance, Ning Wan'er became a disciple by formally paying respects to Yan Xiaoru and was then accepted into the Sect.

Yet, although Li Muyang was nominally a Direct Disciple with the treatment of an Elder, he had no initiation ceremony.

Even though he was a Direct Disciple of the Enforcement Hall, he had no master-disciple relationship with Yan Xiaoru.

If not for Yan Xiaoru personally rushing to his rescue during a crisis, others might suspect that Li Muyang was not well-regarded in the Enforcement Hall due to such a peculiar and awkward status.

But not having an official master-disciple relationship was not ideal either.

Unable to fathom Yan Xiaoru's thoughts, Li Muyang decided to find an opportunity to ask her about it later.

After sending his younger sister Li Yuechan on her way, Li Muyang prepared to leave but was informed by the maids that Elder Yan had been in closed-door cultivation for the last few days.

Scratching his head, Li Muyang could only sigh.

So instead of looking for Yan Xiaoru, he went next door to chat with Ning Wan'er for a while.

As a Direct Disciple, Ning Wan'er undoubtedly knew more insider information.

She told Li Muyang that after last month's failed assassination attempt, the Demon Cultivators of the Green Sheep Society had completely vanished.

Instead, the Demon Sect had begun to pay attention to the Green Sheep Society.

They were also investigating the mysterious deaths of Cultivators near the Sect, trying to ascertain whether the perpetrator was the Successor to the Corpse-Resolving Immortal.

It was said that the heavy-hitters within the Sect were very interested in this Corpse-Resolving Immortal.

Even Sect Master Gong Yanghong, who was in a critical stage of closed-door breakthrough, issued an order to thoroughly investigate the matter.

However, Li Muyang had no particular thoughts about the Successor to the Corpse-Resolving Immortal.

As it was of no concern to him, and he already had enough opportunity for inheritance, he did not need to scheme for such sinister arts.

After checking around to confirm that nothing involved him, Li Muyang went to chat with Guan Xiaoshun for a while, but he did not inquire about Zi Weiheng's whereabouts.

Li Muyang just talked with the young Guan Xiaoshun about their hometown for a bit before returning to the quiet room, reassured, to open the game once more.

But this time, he did not enter "Deadly Weeds" at stage 5 to challenge it.

He longed for "Dragonkin's Awakening" again, eager to see the dragon girl he had not met for over thirty days.

He had planned to complete "Deadly Weeds" as soon as possible before helping the dragon girl with her challenges.

However, he had not anticipated becoming so engrossed in the latter stages of "Deadly Weeds," which had captivated him entirely.

Now, returning to "Dragonkin's Awakening," as the darkness receded like the tide, Li Muyang took control of the dragon girl's body once again.

Immediately, he heard the dragon girl's voice, thrilled and surprised.

"Li Muyang! You're back!" she exclaimed.

The voice of the dragon girl was filled with ecstasy and excitement.

Li Muyang was taken aback, as it was the first time he had seen her so uncomposed, and he felt a bit embarrassed.

"Sorry, I was delayed by some matters, for far too long..." he apologized.

But the dragon girl shook her head joyfully, saying, "No problem at all, as long as you're alive, that's all that matters."

"I thought you might have died since you didn't come back," she added.

Brimming with enthusiasm, the dragon girl continued, "As long as you're alive, it doesn't matter how long you take."

"By the way, I've already killed half of the monsters in this secret realm."

"Even though I've died many times using your Doppelganger Technique, consuming a lot of incense power, I've managed to kill even more monsters."

"The remaining half are stronger, but I've gotten very proficient, and it won't take long before I kill them all,"

excitedly shared the dragon girl, updating Li Muyang on the battle situation.

Li Muyang immediately looked ahead and indeed found that in the fragrant peach blossom fairyland, the shadows of monsters had decreased by more than half.

In the past ten thousand years, those who attempted to enter the Immortal Realm and covet the corpse of the peach blossom fairy died miserably and all remained within the Immortal Realm.

However, now the ghosts within the peach blossom fairyland had been slain in large numbers by the Dragon Lady.

Li Muyang sighed as he watched this scene, "It's a pity that we can only rely on brute strength to get through…"

Those who had previously stolen the peach blossom fairy's body, such as the Matriarch of the Buddha Mother Temple, must have had some way to avoid the evil spirits and ghosts within the peach groves.

But the Matriarch would not share it with Li Muyang, evidently intending to make him retreat knowing the difficulty.

But now, with the doppelganger technique imbued with the power of incense and prayers, the Dragon Lady alone had slain most of the evil ghosts in the Immortal Realm.

So the remaining half shouldn't be a problem either.

In "Deadly Wild Grass," Li Muyang had quite a favorable impression of this peach blossom fairy.

If he could ensure her peaceful rest after death and clear out all the evil ghosts lingering in her secret domain, Li Muyang didn't mind spending some extra time.

"However, after slaying all these evil ghosts, the real challenge of the Immortal Realm awaits us."

"It's that challenge that has led to the Immortal Realm being infested with evil ghosts…"

The peach blossom fairy, having met her demise, surely would not have left no contingency.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many miserable ghosts in the Immortal Realm.

Li Muyang said to the Dragon Lady, "But for now, let's focus on killing the evil ghosts. I'll leave this place in your hands, continue using your prayer-infused avatar to slay the evil ghosts in the Immortal Realm."

"I still have unfinished business, and it will take some more time."

"However, these next few days, I will often come to check on you and chat with you."

"This time I won't be gone for over thirty days again."

The Dragon Lady completely had the temperament of a child.

Having left her to her own devices for over thirty days, she must have been uneasy.

This time, as Li Muyang was leaving, he couldn't help but comfort her with a few words and gave her a bit of reassurance.

Then, in the Dragon Lady's reluctant farewell, Li Muyang exited the game and once again opened the system.

But this time, he entered "Deadly Wild Grass" and began to continue overcoming the challenges.

Having taken care of miscellaneous matters, he aimed to complete the final level in one go and secure the ultimate reward!

And in the quiet room, as Li Muyang comfortably opened the system and began to play the game,

At the same time, in Yan Xiaoru's chamber on the Suspended Island of the Enforcement Hall, upon hearing that Li Muyang had emerged from seclusion, wandered outside for half a day, and then went back to continue his retreat, Yan Xiaoru immediately furrowed her brow.

Aunt Su, observing her young lady's expression, showed a subtle smile on her face.

"Miss…"

Aunt Su teased with a mischievous smile, "This Li Muyang is very diligent, isn't he!"

"After returning, it's all about retreat and diligent practice, truly admirable!"

Hearing Aunt Su's teasing, Yan Xiaoru glared at her with a stern face, attempting to maintain her lady's dignity—Aunt Su was a confidant, aware of the little affair between her and Li Muyang.

But then, Yan Xiaoru herself couldn't hold back.

She sighed sullenly and said,

"When I came back to the Sect this time, I thought that brat would often come to bother me…"

So much so that for the first few days, she had a rather uneasy feeling.

After what happened on the return journey, that brat, having had a taste, and being at an age of robust vitality, surely couldn't restrain himself, right?

At first, Yan Xiaoru was somewhat anxious and troubled.

Her emotions were somewhat chaotic on the Flying Boat, so she didn't strongly resist and inadvertently got completely devoured by that brat.

After that night, once Yan Xiaoru sobered up, she immediately regretted it somewhat and didn't know how to face him. Hence, she pretended to retreat to avoid Li Muyang, fearing his brazen entanglement.

Moreover, as an Elder of the Demon Sect, upon returning to the Sect, she had to be cautious, fearing rumors would spread if Li Muyang came to pester her often.

But now, thirty-seven days had passed, and since that little thief returned to the Sect, he had gone straight into seclusion.

Forget about coming to bother her or pester her, she couldn't even find an excuse to see him.

This situation, on the contrary, started to unsettle Yan Xiaoru.

Now, having heard that Li Muyang had left his retreat and had strolled around for a day but didn't come to see her and instead continued his seclusion, Yan Xiaoru felt restless.

That little thief... what on earth is he thinking!
