The Game with Fairies - Chapter 404

Chapter 404: I Only Hope You’re Always Happy

“Eh? Li Muyang, what brings you here?”

Inside the Peach Blossom Fairyland, Dragon Maiden’s voice rose with curiosity.

She once again sensed that familiar feeling of her body being forcefully entered.

Moon-Biting Dragon understood that Li Muyang had returned.

To this, Li Muyang sighed and said, “I’ve come to help you fight monsters.”

It had only been three days since Li Muyang last logged in.

Today, he hadn’t gone to “Deadly Weed” to seek punishment but instead logged into Dragon Maiden’s account and entered “Dragonkin Awakening.”

Hearing Li Muyang’s reply, Dragon Maiden was curious.

“Oh? Have you finished your tasks? Do you have free time now?”

Li Muyang shook his head.

“Not yet, I just came here to take a break.”

After repeatedly dying in the foggy world, he was almost at his wit’s end.

As an experienced gamer, Li Muyang knew that continuing to stubbornly fight on would only lead to more failures.

So he logged into Dragon Maiden’s account to take a break, planning to calm down before attempting the challenge again.

Compared to the three mysterious assailants from ten thousand years ago, the ghosts lingering in the Peach Blossom Fairyland were much weaker.

After logging into Dragon Maiden’s account, Li Muyang unceremoniously took control of the incense avatar and charged at the foremost evil ghost.

It was a half-human half-snake monster with a ferocious face surrounded by a dark aura of evil.

Li Muyang rushed forward, and the roaring monster dragged him into a swamp-filled illusory space.

Li Muyang immediately attacked the monster and found that it was weaker than he had expected. Although it was his first challenge, he managed to defeat the creature after taking only minor injuries.

The whole process took less than twenty minutes.

Li Muyang was quite surprised.

After defeating the half-human half-snake monster and exiting the battle illusion, he returned to the Peach Blossom Fairyland and opened the character card, only to find that Moon-Biting Dragon had leveled up again.

Now, Moon-Biting Dragon was at 【LV11 (23%)】.

Seeing this experience value and level, Li Muyang was quite astonished.

“You leveled up again?”

Over the past thirty-some days, Moon-Biting Dragon had been soloing the game, slaying monsters in the Peach Blossom Fairyland.

Unexpectedly, the monsters in the Peach Blossom Fairyland gave a lot of experience points upon defeat, and Moon-Biting Dragon had directly reached LV11.

Hearing Li Muyang’s question, Dragon Maiden was very happy.

She proudly stood with her hands behind her back, twisting her body happily like a little girl being praised.

“Right, my power has reached a new realm!”

Moon-Biting Dragon happily shared her efforts from the past thirty-plus days.

“Now, dealing with the monsters in the Peach Blossom Fairyland isn’t so difficult anymore.”

Although the monsters that remained were clearly stronger, now that Moon-Biting Dragon had leveled up to LV11 and could transform into her original form, which was a thousand zhang long, it was easier to deal with these lingering spirits.

After proudly stating this, Dragon Maiden bashfully added,

“But I still can’t compare to you. If it were me in the fight, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to defeat the monsters so easily.”

Dragon Maiden’s tone was filled with admiration and envy.

Li Muyang, however, was taken aback and then smiled wryly.

Perhaps the battles with those three mysterious assailants were too mentally taxing.

Although he kept losing, his combat skills had improved.

Now that he had a stats advantage, dealing with the remnants in the Peach Blossom Fairyland felt as easy as a strong man beating up a child.

He hadn’t expected that suffering in the foggy world would actually improve his combat skills.

This was something Li Muyang had not anticipated.

However, those three mysterious people were, after all, beings of the True Immortal level.

Having been killed by those three assailants so many times, he had grown accustomed to their cunning and powerful, endlessly emerging array of techniques and spells.

Now, the attacks of the remnant soul monsters in the Peach Blossom Fairyland seemed to him like child’s play.

He could quickly find a solution to counter them without much effort.

Li Muyang sighed and said, “Let’s continue hunting monsters.”

He controlled his incense avatar and charged towards the remnant souls ahead.

Noticing that defeating these remnant souls yielded high experience points, Li Muyang changed his plan.

He intended to clear out all the remnant souls in the Peach Blossom Fairyland.

This would not only help the Peach Blossom Fairy cleanse the malicious aura within the Immortal Realm but also increase the level of the Moon-Biting Dragon.

After eliminating all the monsters in the Immortal Realm, he should be able to level up again.

Thus, Li Muyang controlled the incense avatar and continued to slay the remnant souls in the Immortal Realm.

Although the remnant soul monsters he encountered became stronger as he progressed, even encountering some with values exceeding that of the Moon-Biting Dragon.

Yet even when facing these stronger remnant souls, Li Muyang found them not too difficult to handle.

Without sustaining any injuries and just taking a bit more time, he could defeat those remnant souls stronger than himself.

This continuous cycle of defeating formidable enemies and improving himself provided positive feedback that allowed Li Muyang, who had been depressed for many days, to breathe a sigh of relief.

After he finally defeated a remnant soul monster in the form of a fierce tiger, he looked at the remaining online time and finally logged off.

“It’s about time. Let’s stop here for today.”

Li Muyang stopped in his tracks, no longer attacking the monsters ahead.

Instead, he said to the Moon-Biting Dragon,

“I’m heading back first. I’ll leave the rest of the monsters to you. Be careful and take it slow; the monsters further ahead will get stronger.”

Li Muyang gave his instructions with concern.

Although the Moon-Biting Dragon was a reliable companion with a young mind, it never caused Li Muyang any worry.

But as Li Muyang was about to leave, he instinctively gave his warnings.

It was like a worried father giving instructions to his mischievous daughter before stepping out of the house.

The Moon-Biting Dragon, however, cheerfully bid farewell to Li Muyang, and this time, surprisingly, did not ask him to stay.

Instead, as Li Muyang was about to leave, the Dragon Maiden suddenly spoke up.

“Li Muyang.”

The usually playful and lively Dragon Maiden was unusually serious at this moment.

She stopped Li Muyang, who was ready to log off, and said,

“If you’re busy with your own things, then go ahead and take care of them first.”

“I’m fine here. If I encounter a monster that’s too strong, I won’t provoke it and will leave it for you to deal with when you come back.”

“I feel like you’ve been a bit unhappy since you came back… Did you encounter any troubles?”

The Dragon Maiden stood in the Peach Blossom Fairyland, playing with her fingers and said timidly.

“I’m not only clumsy but also not very powerful, so I can’t really help you.”

“But I hope you can be happy and not so downhearted.”

“If the things you’re dealing with are really troublesome, then don’t come to see me for now. Take care of your own matters first. I’ll always be waiting for you, so don’t worry about me and get distracted.”

This sudden confession from the Dragon Maiden took Li Muyang aback.

He hadn’t expected the little girl to say such words at this time.

After being stunned for a while with mixed emotions, Li Muyang finally smiled and said,

“Okay.”

Although the little girl was naive, she was very sincere.

Her unexpected confession warmed Li Muyang’s heart.
