The Game with Fairies - Chapter 422

Chapter 422: Tears of the Peach Blossoms

Within the Peach Blossom Fairyland, each peach tree trembled violently, and peach blossoms fell like rain.

The one trembling the most was the tall peach tree at the center of the Peach Blossom Fairyland.

At this moment, the talking peach tree was extremely frightened, its crisp voice filled with disbelief.

“Are you Jiang Xiaoyu?”

“Have you really come back to life?!”

The sudden speech of the peach tree startled the Dragon Maiden.

But what frightened the Dragon Maiden even more were the words that the peach tree said next.

The Dragon Maiden was first puzzled.

“Jiang Xiaoyu? Why does that name sound familiar…”

It was clear that the rewriting of reality after completing 《Deadly Weed》 had also affected the Dragon Maiden.

After pondering for a moment, she suddenly remembered a play she had seen before and was greatly shocked.

“Wait! Jiang Xiaoyu… is that the mysterious elder brother of the Fairy Qinghe who died ten thousand years ago?”

Combining the astonishment of the peach tree, the Dragon Maiden was so scared she almost jumped.

“Li Muyang, are you the elder brother of the Fairy Qinghe?”

“A person dead for ten thousand years, come back to life?!”

“Are you some kind of super old monster?!”

The Dragon Maiden’s voice was somewhat stammering.

Amidst the colorful peach blossoms, Li Muyang remained silent beneath the tree.

He listened to the panicked shouts of the Dragon Maiden beside him and looked at the peach tree in front of him, feeling that its aura was somewhat familiar, yet he had never seen it before.

At least he was certain that ten thousand years ago, this peach tree in the Peach Blossom Fairyland did not possess spiritual intelligence.

Logically, this peach tree could not possibly recognize him…

Li Muyang fell silent for a moment, then asked.

“Who are you? Ten thousand years ago, there was no such thing as you in the Peach Blossom Fairyland.”

“Why are you accompanying the Peach Blossom Fairy? Are you guarding fairy’s body?”

Li Muyang did not answer the questions of the peach tree and the Dragon Maiden.

But his words clearly acknowledged his identity.

The Dragon Maiden was immediately stunned, lost in thought.

The peach tree, whose voice was as clear as a child’s, then spoke up.

“Indeed, I was not there ten thousand years ago; I was enlightened by the fairy just before she died.”

“The fairy left her remaining power and memories within me and enlightened me, helping me to awaken my spiritual intelligence.”

“But the cultivation of a tree demon is inherently slow, and the fairy intentionally delayed the awakening of my spiritual intelligence, so it wasn’t until three thousand years after the dark catastrophe that I gained a little bit of spiritual intelligence.”

“It was only after five thousand years past the dark catastrophe that I was able to speak my first complete sentence.”

“Because of this, I survived that terrible calamity and have been guarding the fairy’s corpse ever since, fulfilling her last wish.”

The peach tree recounted its origin, and Li Muyang finally understood.

It turned out that this peach tree was a legacy left by the Peach Blossom Fairy before her death.

Although she had left her power to the tree, she did not immediately endow it with spiritual intelligence, so the tree demon, which was still an ordinary peach tree at the time, was able to avoid the dark catastrophe that targeted extraordinary beings.

But the Peach Blossom Fairy’s last wish…

Li Muyang frowned slightly and asked, “What was fairy’s last wish?”

The situation suddenly became strange.

If there was a tree demon enlightened by an immortal guarding this place, why was the body of the Peach Blossom Fairy still desecrated by the evil beings of later generations?

Had this tree demon neglected its duty?

Li Muyang looked skeptical.

The peach tree immediately protested.

“Don’t look at me with that kind of gaze; it was all fairy’s command.”

“I didn’t want fairy’s body to be desecrated either, but fairy’s last wish was for her body to protect the people of later generations.”

“If a cultivator enters the Peach Blossom Fairyland and passes the test I give, they can obtain a piece of fairy’s flesh, avoiding being devoured by this land.”

“The fairy said she failed to stop the dark catastrophe and couldn’t protect the beings of the north. But she hoped her body could at least protect some righteous people in later generations…”

The tree demon spoke, its voice filled with grievance and sadness.

Clearly, as a being enlightened by the Peach Blossom Fairy, it did not want to see the fairy’s remains damaged.

Li Muyang also fell silent.

He had not expected the Peach Blossom Fairy to make such an arrangement.

To deliberately leave her body for the future, to protect the cultivators of later generations?

But those extraordinary beings in the north were all mysterious and evil creatures…

Regarding this, the tree demon murmured, “Those few evil creatures passed the test, so I had to give it to them.”

“But no matter what, even if they are truly brutal and evil monsters, with fairy’s body and flesh by their side, influenced by fairy’s aura over time, these monsters will gradually change.”

“In fact, those few evil beings from the north have already become much more gentle and kind than before…”

The tree demon said, becoming indignant again.

“There’s just one hateful creature. It was the first to obtain fairy’s flesh but abandoned it, showing no gratitude for fairy’s mercy. Instead, it used fairy’s flesh to plant a strange tree!”

“It not only desecrated fairy’s kindness but also exploited fairy’s power!”

“If I could leave this place, I would have rushed out to fight it long ago!”

The tree demon was filled with rage.

Li Muyang fell silent for a moment, then asked, “The creature you’re talking about… who is it?”

The tree demon excitedly said, “It’s the master of those monsters outside! All the monsters outside the Peach Blossom Fairyland were spawned and bred by a strange tree that creature planted using fairy’s flesh!”

“Jiang Xiaoyu, you are a friend of the fairy, you must go out and kill that creature annd destroy that strange tree.”

“You can’t let it use fairy’s power to poison living beings!”

The tree demon was emotionally charged.

Li Muyang glanced at the monsters on the outskirts of the Peach Blossom Fairyland and nodded.

“Even if you hadn’t said anything, I wouldn’t have let these things go.”

The mastermind behind the wandering immortal is undoubtedly the strongest BOSS among the evil beings of the northern lands, whose rules dominate the entire area north of Yin Mountain, forcing even other evil BOSSes like Mother Buddha Temple to retreat.

Now that the master of the wandering immortal has set his sights on the Dragon Maiden, a great battle between them is inevitable.

The commission from the peach tree demon is just one more reason why the other must be killed.

Li Muyang took a deep breath, about to speak, when suddenly a faint light floated from the peach tree.

Within this light was a crystal-clear, jade-like pink petal.

The voice of the peach tree demon sounded.

“Jiang Xiaoyu, this is a fairy’s gift to you.”

“The fairy left this specially before her demise, saying that if Jiang Xiaoyu truly resurrects after ten thousand years and comes to the northern lands, this item should be given to him.”

“Now that I have met you, you should take this petal with you.”

“It contains the soul power of the fairy at the time of her death, which can protect you from being devoured by this land and can also help you.”

“The fairy said that if Jiang Xiaoyu really comes back to life after ten thousand years, she hoped to leave a gift for her friend.”

Li Muyang’s view was filled with a system notification.
