The Game with Fairies - Chapter 378

Chapter 378: Played for a Fool

In the hall where the air seemed to solidify, Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao were left speechless in astonishment.

Liu Sanniang, an old demon of the demon race, had lived for many years, seen much of the world, and was also privy to ancient secrets.

The shocking news she revealed left even Xiao Yecao with a look of astonishment, finding it hard to believe.

“…Enslave… evil gods?”

The cunning and terror of the evil gods from ancient times were well-known to all.

Even at the height of their power, the Evil Lineage clan could not enslave beings at the level of evil gods.

They could only rely on their numerical superiority and the uniqueness of their power to seal the evil gods in that mysterious void space.

If the Evil Lineage clan from ancient times had been able to enslave evil gods, they would not have left these evil gods to wreak havoc in later generations.

The secret history Liu Sanniang now recounted was both astonishing and bewildering.

Even in the most prosperous times of the ancient evil lineage clan, they had not managed to enslave evil gods.

How could Granny Gu of this generation, whose clan had long since declined and perished, surpass the ancient sages and enslave an evil god by her own power?

The absurdity of this news was akin to a villager by the roadside sharing knowledge of nuclear fusion technology with you.

Xiao Yecao frowned slightly and said, “So, we need to return to Black Cloud Village and ask Granny Gu for help to cure my brother’s illness?”

Liu Sanniang’s message was clear—there was no hope. Go to Black Cloud Village and find Granny Gu.

Under the current circumstances, there seemed to be a hint of evasion.

But even if Liu Sanniang was evading, Li Muyang and seemed to have no other choice.

After all, they were neither kin nor kith, and Liu Sanniang had no compelling reason to help.

In response to Xiao Yecao’s question, Liu Sanniang sighed and said, “You two should stay in the valley for now. I will go through the ancient books left by my ancestors to see if there is a way to cure him.”

“Black Cloud Village is a forbidden place. Since you have left Black Cloud Village, it’s better not to return unless absolutely necessary.”

Regardless, Liu Sanniang at least appeared friendly on the surface, almost to the point of fulfilling her moral obligations.

Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao could only stay in Yellow Wind Valley, waiting for news from Liu Sanniang.

However, standing on this land filled with maple trees and looking at the ground beneath his feet, Li Muyang often felt uneasy, always worried that the ground would suddenly collapse, revealing a sinkhole below.

Just when there seemed to be some progress in the main storyline of the game, it suddenly got stuck again in Yellow Wind Valley, temporarily unable to move forward.

Xiao Yecao often sat at the highest point of Yellow Wind Valley, gazing at the sea of clouds and meditating on the Dao.

She also often went out to debate the Dao with the old immortal of Yangshou Mountain, the fairy of Peach Blossom Fairyland, and even received an invitation to a banquet from the North Sea Dragon King.

At the banquet of the North Sea Dragon King, Li Muyang saw the True Dragon, fierce and fiery in appearance.

The dragon was dressed in pure white robes, and although fierce and fiery, it took the form of a handsome man.

However, there was a vague resemblance between this handsome man and the human incarnation of the Moon-Biting Dragon…

Uhh…

When Li Muyang realized this, his heart skipped a beat.

The Moon-Biting Dragon had the bloodline of a True Dragon and was located in the northern lands.

Could it be that she was a descendant of this North Sea Dragon King from ten thousand years ago?

Unfortunately, the Dragon Palace of the North Sea was located deep in the ocean, and in the era ten thousand years later, where Li Muyang was from, the place was shrouded in mist and inaccessible.

Otherwise, if he could swim into the ruins of the Dragon Palace using the Moon-Biting Dragon’s body ten thousand years later, he might find some ancient heritage…

《Deadly Weed》, the game progress was stalled once again. But this time, Li Muyang was not in a hurry.

After all, he had been grinding daily tasks for so long, and now there was finally a change in the storyline, with the fourth stage of the main line almost complete.

Moreover, the longer he stayed in this land beyond the Great Wall, accompanying Xiao Yecao and visiting various sacred places of immortals, the more familiar Li Muyang became with the geography of the region.

At the very least, he was now very familiar with Yangshou Mountain, which had always kept him on alert.

He even knew exactly how to open and leave the fairyland of Yangshou Mountain.

If the fairyland of Yangshou Mountain ten thousand years later was not occupied by Lord Shanyang, then Li Muyang might be able to use this fairyland to outwit him.

After exiting 《Deadly Weed》, Li Muyang opened his eyes, stepped out of the room, and chatted with his little sister Li Yuechan for a while.

Knowing that he could return to the sect in one more day, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.

He still had the curse of the wandering immortal on him.

Although he had learned from the two little girls at the Mother Buddha Temple in the game about how to lift the curse, he was now on a flying boat and lacked the materials to do so.

He had to return to the sect to get some materials for setting up the array to lift the curse.

Yan Xiaoru’s retreat also ended on this day.

Perhaps because she saw that Li Muyang had been diligently practicing and not bothering her after their fight, the childish ghost who had fought with Li Muyang finally let go of her concerns and was willing to come out of her room.

–It was obvious that her retreat over the past few days was entirely to avoid Li Muyang.

She was probably afraid that Li Muyang would get a taste for it and pester her every day?

Tsk tsk…

Li Muyang could only shake his head.

Although he wanted to ask Yan Xiaoru for more guidance on the Way of the Sword, being within the Demonic Sect, he did not want to expose his special relationship with Yan Xiaoru so soon.

Moreover, the game progress was at a critical moment, and he should spend his precious time on completing the game and improving his cultivation.

The Way of the Sword could be sought at any time, but improving cultivation was the most important!

He had inexplicably become a target of misfortune, being watched by the demonic cultivators of the Qingyang Association.

There was also the mysterious and powerful Everlasting North Star lurking outside, ready to attack the Demon Refining Sect at any moment.

And there was the extremely difficult target, Yan Xiaoru…

Li Muyang’s pressure was slightly heavy.

After chatting with his sister Li Yuechan for a while, he did not sneak off to find Yan Xiaoru but went straight back to his own room, closed the door, and reopened the game system.

Game With the Fairies, start!

Li Muyang opened his eyes and saw darkness receding around him like a tide.

The feeling of regaining control of his body surged, and he heard the voice of the Dragon Maiden.

“…Li Muyang, I broke the external incarnation you left behind.”

The voice of the Dragon Maiden was full of guilt and apprehension, like a child caught by an adult after doing something wrong.

“I just went in and got killed by a monster…”

The Dragon Maiden apologized cautiously.

Li Muyang, however, shook his head and said, “It doesn’t matter, that external incarnation could only exist for twelve more hours. Even if you hadn’t broken it, it would have disappeared automatically when the time was up.”

Li Muyang had left the external incarnation with the Dragon Maiden before logging off last time.

However, it seemed that the Dragon Maiden was not adept at controlling such an incarnation and was actually killed by a monster in the fairyland.

Now that Li Muyang had logged on again, he took a deep breath and spent 10,000 incense power points to summon another external incarnation.

Controlling this clone, which had 100% of his original cultivation, he entered the fairyland and headed towards the monster he had not killed before.
