The Game with Fairies - Chapter 367

Chapter 367: Staggering Defeat

Inside the room, red gauze fluttered, and the bedding was warm.

Li Muyang lay on the soft, large bed, softly lamenting.

“…Elders really are wealthy, ah, bed sheets and blankets made of silkworm silk, truly luxurious.”

The key was that she carried this large bed with her, able to take it out from her Qiankun Ring at any time.

Yan Xiaoru really knew how to enjoy life.

Within the warm blankets, the woman with a flushed face hummed softly, lazily lying on the soft bed, and said,

“I can’t sleep on any other bed or pillow.”

No matter where she went, Yan Xiaoru always brought her large bed with her.

But she never imagined that it would serve such an unexpected purpose today…

She felt her limbs light and floaty, as if floating above the clouds, not wanting to move, and the comfortable and relaxed state made her want to just fall asleep and enjoy the moment’s peace.

But remembering that there was still unfinished business, Yan Xiaoru still forced herself to focus and spoke in a soft, tender voice.

“I’ve found out why the Qingyang Association is after you.”

“I asked Elder Ge to look through his secret ancient texts and found the legend of the ancient times Corpse-Resolving Immortal.”

“She was a terrifying demon from the ancient times, originally a cultivator of the righteous path, but after failing to become an immortal, she took a different path into the demonic way, using tyrannical and evil techniques to dominate the ancient era.”

“The ancient texts’ records of her are vague and mysterious.”

“But one thing is certain, she could rapidly increase her realm by devouring cultivators… hmm…”

Yan Xiaoru hummed softly through her nose, suddenly swatted away Li Muyang’s hand, and said,

“Behave yourself, we’re talking about serious matters…”

Li Muyang nodded earnestly, “I’m listening, please continue.”

Yan Xiaoru lifted her head and glared at him from within the blankets, but seeing the innocent expression on the young man’s face, she sighed helplessly and decided not to bother anymore.

Lying in the blankets with slightly rapid breathing, Yan Xiaoru softly said,

“Over the past year, there have been several incidents of cultivators being killed under the rule of the Demonic Sect, each victim drained to a husk.”

“At first, it was near Yunxiao City, where many casual cultivators died, then during the Blood Lotus Sect’s turmoil, when Demonic Sect cultivators gathered, that person went to the nearby battle zones to ambush lone demonic cultivators and demons, killing hundreds.”

“Initially, the sect did not pay attention to this matter, thinking it was the work of Blood Lotus Sect’s assassins during the battles.”

“But after following your lead and investigating, I found that the killer hunting cultivators under the Demonic Sect’s rule might be the descendant of the Corpse-Resolving Immortal mentioned by the Qingyang Association… hnnh…”

After speaking seriously for a while, Yan Xiaoru suddenly sat up, breaking free from Li Muyang’s strong hand.

The silkworm silk blanket slid off her shoulders, revealing her pale, jade-like body in the bright light.

Li Muyang’s eyes widened.

This angle… was absolutely stunning!

Beneath the slender curve of her waist was a flat belly.

The vertical belly button was small and cute, quivering slightly with the woman’s breaths.

Quivering along with it was the fullness of…

Yan Xiaoru, her face flushed, stared at him intently before suddenly pouncing, her hands pressing down on Li Muyang’s shoulders.

Their eyes met, and in each other’s pupils, they could clearly see their own reflections.

Yan Xiaoru hummed softly, “The heir of the Corpse-Resolving Immortal might really have appeared in this world and is hiding right under the jurisdiction of our Demon Refining Sect.”

“The demonic cultivators from the Qingyang Association must have discovered this clue and, seeing your breakthrough to the Golden Core realm within a year, mistook you for the heir of the Corpse-Resolving Immortal.”

After Yan Xiaoru finished speaking, the room fell silent for several seconds.

Then Li Muyang sharply inhaled a breath of cold air.

“Hisss… wait a second, let’s talk about serious matters first…”

My big move skill just came off cooldown. The cooling period isn’t over yet.

But Yan Xiaoru didn’t care about that, she glared at the mischievous thief before her and hummed softly.

“I am talking about it…”

“Anyway…huff…after you return to the sect this time, just…huff…don’t wander around.”

“Stay peacefully in…huff…in the sect. Even the bold demonic cultivators from the Qingyang Association wouldn’t dare…mm…dare to come into the sect to harm your life.”

Yan Xiaoru’s opinion was in line with Li Muyang’s.

Staying within the Demon Refining Sect was the safest way to avoid the pursuit of the Qingyang Association’s demonic cultivators.

“As for your parents…um…sending them to the World’s End Ark…mm…is a very good idea.”

“World’s End Ark…the ark…mm…”

Yan Xiaoru’s voice gradually became soft and sticky.

In the end, Li Muyang could barely make out what she was saying.

He felt as if he was caught in the midst of a tempestuous sea, with fierce waves crashing against him one after another…

Two hours later, Li Muyang walked out of the room, somewhat weak and exhausted.

The moment he leaned on the wall to step out, he felt dizzy and almost lost his balance.

“Damn it…”

I’m a Golden Core realm cultivator, for heaven’s sake!

And I have the Martial God Tyrant Body!

Yet even with such a strong physique, I still ended up defeated at the last moment.

The initial battle of the Way of the Sword was a victory for Li Muyang.

But in the end, it was Yan Xiaoru who had the upper hand.

The cultivation of the Purple Mansion elder was indeed extraordinary, with a long and profound breath, and the aftereffects were too intense.

Li Muyang reflected on the disparity in strength between them, vowing to remember today’s defeat.

Upon returning, he would surely practice diligently to break through to the Cave Profound realm.

Once his cultivation improved and his strength increased, he would challenge Yan Xiaoru again to wash away the shame of this day.

Besides exchanging insights on the Way of the Sword, Li Muyang also reached a consensus with Yan Xiaoru on many matters.

At the very least, he knew Yan Xiaoru’s true purpose and her previous concerns.

He also revealed the existence of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword to Yan Xiaoru, and the two opened up to each other, no longer hiding anything.

However, Yan Xiaoru’s lifespan was a headache for Li Muyang.

According to her, she might not live past fifty.

In this world full of miracles, even fifty years was considered short-lived among mortals, let alone compared to cultivators.

Li Muyang was troubled, and to extend Yan Xiaoru’s life, he needed to find the divine heart within the Demon Refining Sect to refine the elixir of immortality.

However, the problem was that, from Li Muyang’s special perspective as an Ascender, he had seen the true nature of the Demon Refining Sect.

The entire sect was built upon the remains of a deity, but among those scattered and broken limbs, there seemed to be no heart…

Li Muyang worried whether the heart had been hidden away by the founder of the Demon Refining Sect or if it was already gone.

“Ah… no matter what, I’ve received an S-level nightmare mission this time.”

To slay the leader of the Demonic Sect and destroy the Demon Refining Sect’s lineage.

With his and Yan Xiaoru’s current cultivation, achieving this goal was too difficult.
