The Game with Fairies - Chapter 401

Chapter 401: Elder Yan’s Care

【You died. Game Over】

“…”

The system prompt that popped up in his field of vision gave Li Muyang a headache.

“Damn, lost again.”

Inside the quiet room, he stood up in frustration and rubbed his temples.

The power of the Evil God was indeed formidable, but having fifty-one skills was a bit too flashy.

Although each skill was powerful, stringing these skills together to execute the right combination of moves occasionally left Li Muyang in a fluster.

And those three mysterious assailants were strong and had the advantage in numbers.

Once they caught their breath and became familiar with Li Muyang’s skills and moves, they could quickly defeat the fearless Li Muyang.

Li Muyang had been stuck at this level for a full three days, dying seven times, with his most glorious attempt resulting in only severing the arm of one of the assailants before being jointly blasted to death by the three.

Losing over and over again, Li Muyang was close to breaking down.

When he reloaded the game, he decided to seek reinforcements.

He traveled thousands of miles to seek the help of the Eastern Sea Dragon King.

However, halfway through their journey, the system notified him that Xiao Yecao had passed away, and the mission had failed.

Clearly, those three assailants waiting outside the arch in the mist were waiting for an opportunity to use the space-time portal.

Behind that arch, it most likely led to the shattered Netherworld.

If they managed to take Xiao Yecao into the Netherworld, then the mission would be considered a failure.

In this game, Li Muyang had no reinforcements and could only rely on himself.

He even tried cheating by reloading to before Xiao Yecao was captured and inviting immortals to set up an ambush.

But it was as if those mysterious assailants had activated x-ray vision; once Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao invited a few immortals to ambush in Black Cloud Village, the assailants would not appear.

Only after the immortals ran out of patience and left did the mysterious assailants suddenly appear and kidnap Xiao Yecao.

Unable to bring reinforcements or set up an ambush in advance.

This ultimate mission of the fifth stage clearly required Li Muyang to rely on his own strength to break through.

Fortunately, he had countless opportunities to try and fail; as long as he persevered, he would eventually succeed one day.

However, after being engrossed in the game for so long, even the persistent Li Muyang felt numb.

……

After another defeat in the game, he sighed, exited the game, and returned to reality.

This time, he walked directly out of the quiet room.

In the courtyard, the maids and servants hurriedly greeted him, ready to follow Li Muyang’s orders.

Li Muyang took the hot towel they handed him, wiped his face, and then asked,

“How long have I been in seclusion?”

Having played in the game for too long and spent too much time, Li Muyang had almost forgotten the exact duration of his seclusion.

The maids quickly replied,

“Reporting to the young master, you have been in seclusion for thirty-seven days.”

“Thirty-seven days… Hmm…”

He nodded slightly surprised, as the number was unexpected.

It was longer than he thought.

He had originally planned to be in seclusion for just ten days to half a month, then to deal with family affairs.

But he ended up playing the game for over a month.

Now that his cultivation had increased, he could go without rest tirelessly.

Even so, Li Muyang, who had just stepped out of the quiet room and stretched, still felt a bit drained.

“Go to the kitchen and prepare some food for me, and also invite my sister over.”

After giving simple instructions, Li Muyang inquired if anyone had come to see him during his seclusion.

As expected, apart from his little sister Li Yuechan, many people had come to visit him, the “Demonic Sect Genius.”

Especially since his return home was followed by an assassination attempt by the Qingyang Association, which he survived and managed to kill several Divine Travel Realm cultivators before safely returning to the sect, the news had already spread.

People speculated that it was Elder Yan’s timely rescue that allowed Li Muyang to escape with his life.

Still, in the cold and self-interested Demonic Sect, the fact that an ordinary direct disciple like Li Muyang could receive such attention from Elder Yan…

The signal was very clear.

Many people began to see Li Muyang as the chosen successor of Yan Xiaoru and flocked to visit him to curry favor.

However, Li Muyang’s seclusion prevented anyone from meeting him.

Among them, two people did catch Li Muyang’s attention.

“…Xiaoshun and Wan’er are back?”

Hearing from the maids that Guan Xiaoshun and Ning Wan’er had also returned and arrived at the sect, Li Muyang was quite surprised.

However, since he lived door-to-door with Ning Wan’er, there was no need to be too polite.

After all, his little sister and Ning Wan’er had a good relationship, and now that Ning Wan’er was back, the two were sure to visit each other often.

After resting in his own courtyard for a while and browsing the latest sect pamphlet to understand the current situation in the cultivation world, Li Muyang’s maids brought him his meal.

The kitchen, dedicated to preparing food for Hall of Enforcement direct disciples, served several dishes designed to replenish qi and spiritual power.

Li Muyang had just started eating when his little sister Li Yuechan arrived.

Seeing her brother eating, Li Yuechan didn’t hesitate to sit down, asked a maid for a set of tableware, and joined Li Muyang in enjoying the sumptuous meal.

Li Muyang glanced at his sister and asked,

“You seem to be in a good mood…”

Li Yuechan nodded cheerfully.

“The matter of Uncle and Auntie going to World’s End Ark has been settled.”

“They were sent on the flying boat five days ago and should be arriving soon.”

Li Yuechan shared the good news.

“Auntie originally wanted to wait for you to leave seclusion to say goodbye.”

“But it just so happened that Elder Wu was traveling and would pass by World’s End Ark, so he took Uncle and Auntie along.”

“With Elder Wu accompanying them, the journey will definitely be safe.”

“This opportunity couldn’t be missed. Brother, please visit them at World’s End Ark when you’re free in the future.”

Li Yuechan recounted what had happened.

Li Damu and his wife had hitched a ride on a Demonic Sect elder’s flying boat, so they could not wait for Li Muyang to leave seclusion to see them off.

Hearing this, Li Muyang was slightly surprised.

“It’s settled?”

He wasn’t surprised that Li Damu and his wife had left without saying goodbye, but he was surprised at how the girl before him had managed it.

“Where did you get the money?”

Sending Li Damu and his wife to settle in World’s End Ark required a sum of money that was not insignificant even for Li Muyang, who received elder-level treatment.

He had originally planned to leave seclusion after ten days to half a month, after Li Yuechan had enjoyed her time with Li Damu and his wife, and then to provide the money to send them to safety.

But now he hadn’t left seclusion and hadn’t provided the money for his little sister, so where did this girl get the money from?

Li Yuechan blinked innocently and said, “Elder Yan gave it…”

“After Elder Yan learned about this matter, she called me aside, gave me a sum of money, and asked me to handle it.”

“She also arranged for my uncle and aunt to board Elder Wu’s flying boat. It was only after Elder Yan pleaded on their behalf that Elder Wu agreed.”

Li Yuechan blinked innocently and said to Li Muyang.

“Brother, Elder Yan really takes good care of our family!”
