The Game with Fairies-Chapter 330
The girl’s complex emotions were unknown to Li Muyang for the time being.
But even if he knew that the unwarranted disaster had been brought upon him by his little sister, his choice would remain unchanged.
Whether the trouble came for him or for his little sister made no significant difference to him.
After all, when a formidable enemy approaches, one couldn’t possibly sell out a sister who has been known for a long time and with whom one has shared life and death experiences, right?
After quickly finalizing the plan, Li Muyang and several others acted separately.
However, his tasks were few, mainly packing up his belongings to prepare for the journey home.
As for the main purpose of this trip, to break off the engagement with the Du family, Li Muyang had already accomplished it the night before.
Last night, he and the couple Li Damu visited the Du family in person, ending the marriage gracefully.
The main mission for this return to Jiuyuan City had already been completed.
The wandering ghost girl, Shen Miao, curiously watched as Li Muyang unearthed the Flesh and Bone Green Garment from the ground, somewhat astonished.
“…What is this thing? Why is it so sinister?”
Shen Miao widened her eyes at Li Muyang and said,
“Brother-in-law, who exactly are you? A disciple of the Demonic Sect, how come you have so many bizarre things on you?”
Although the Flesh and Bone Green Garment was just a puppet, its eerie and strange aura was unsettling and chilling.
Even though she had become a wandering ghost, Shen Miao still felt fear towards the puppet dressed as a green-robed actress.
Li Muyang, on the other hand, was not surprised at all.
Such evil objects like the Flesh and Bone Green Garment were the natural enemies of all creatures in the world during ancient times, feeding on the creatures of the world.
The fear passed down through generations was already engraved in their genes.
Just like a house cat or dog that has never seen a tiger, even the sight of a tiger’s picture could make them bristle and tremble.
After methodically packing away the puppet, Li Muyang said to the wandering ghost girl beside him,
“You should worry about yourself. Weren’t you going to travel the world? You can leave now.”
Li Muyang said, “I heard your sister fled to the north. If you really have nowhere to go, you might head north to find her. As twins, you should have some kind of faint connection, right?”
Shen Miao, who claimed she wanted to travel the world, had been lingering near Tianjiao City long after the chaos of the Blood Lotus Sect had ended.
Li Muyang felt that this naive and innocent girl didn’t seem like she wanted to travel the world; rather, she resembled a fledgling bird reluctant to leave the nest and unable to find direction for the future.
However, after Li Muyang finished speaking, the girl pouted.
“It’s not the north, my sister went south.”
Facing Li Muyang, who had personally destroyed the Blood Lotus Sect and was an undercover agent of the Demonic Sect, the wandering ghost girl openly revealed her sister’s whereabouts.
“My sister is going south to find the cave abode of the Blood Lotus Ancestor. The north was just a false lead she released.”
After the girl finished speaking, Li Muyang was somewhat surprised,
“The Blood Lotus Ancestor’s cave abode is in the south?”
The one revered as the ancestor by the Blood Lotus Sect was the Ink Fairy from the ancient times of Demon Sword City.
Did the Ink Fairy not die in the north at Demon Sword City but instead perished in the south?
But this matter seemed to have little to do with him, and after pondering for a moment, Li Muyang didn’t pay it much mind.
What was most important now was to flee for his life.
“Anyway, let’s disperse. I’m leaving, and you can’t possibly follow me back to the Demonic Sect, can you?”
Li Muyang said, “Aunt Su by my side is no ordinary person. If you follow me into the Demonic Sect and someone discovers you were once the spirit of the Four Directions Cauldron… hehe…”
Now that the Four Directions Cauldron had been taken back to the sect by the Demon Refining Sect, the elders were studying the wondrous uses of this ancient immortal artifact.
If Shen Miao appeared in the eyes of the Demonic Sect elders, she might be captured again to become the spirit of the artifact.
As soon as Li Muyang mentioned this, the wandering ghost girl, who had been reluctant to leave and seemed to really want to accompany Li Muyang, immediately turned and left.
“Then I’m off. Take care, brother-in-law, and good luck to you.”
The wandering ghost girl said and turned to leave.
But not far after drifting away, she returned, worried, and stared at Li Muyang.
“You better not tell anyone about me! If you dare betray me, I won’t let you off even as a ghost!”
The already ghostly wandering girl threatened without much confidence and then hurried away.
Clearly, the prospect of being locked in the Four Directions Cauldron to become a spirit again was intimidating for the girl who had only recently gained her freedom.
Watching the wandering ghost girl leave, Li Muyang also breathed a sigh of relief.
It was fortunate that Shen Miao had come to report in time. Otherwise, if the Old Man of Withered Leaves and the Qingyang Association had come knocking at his door, he feared he would have been in trouble.
The outside world was still too dangerous.
Compared to that, the Demon Refining Sect, surrounded by masters and many powerful figures of the Purple Mansion, felt safer.
At least within the sect, as long as one followed the rules and focused on cultivation, there was generally no danger, especially with Yan Xiaoru covering for him.
Li Muyang decided that once he returned to the sect this time, he would not venture out again until he reached the Divine Travel Realm or higher, and then he would consider traveling again.
Soon, all the preparations were complete.
Li Muyang’s parents, along with Ning Wan’er’s parents and a few close maids and servants, gathered at the Li family estate.
Then, a small flying boat rose into the sky above Jiuyuan City, heading towards Tianjiao City under the watchful eyes of many.
With the spread of rumors by those with vested interests, it wasn’t long before everyone in Jiuyuan City knew that the Ning and Li families were going to Tianjiao City to express their gratitude and visit those high-ranking noble families.
For a time, the city was abuzz with envious discussions about how these two families were truly on the rise.
Two direct disciples were enough for them to gain a foothold in a major city like Tianjiao City.
A small city like Jiuyuan City, remote and rural, could not contain two direct disciples.
The joint departure of the Ning and Li families to visit the noble families in Tianjiao City seemed like a signal—that these two rising families were going to Tianjiao City to start new family businesses together.
However, after the small flying boat left Jiuyuan City, it quickly ascended into the clouds and disappeared into the sea of clouds.
Soon after, the flying boat changed direction and headed straight for the defensive lines of the Demon Refining Sect.
At the same time, a letter of plea for help was rapidly sent to the sect, carried by a spiritual beast.
On the deck of the flying boat, Li Muyang looked down at the rising sea of clouds and sighed softly.
He had done everything he could and should do.
Now, he could only hope that the mysterious and strange Old Man of Withered Leaves would be fooled by the false signal they released and truly head to Tianjiao City.
Li Muyang glanced at the sky and said to everyone.
“I’m going back to my room to cultivate. Call me if there’s any trouble.”
On the flying boat, Li Damu and his wife, as well as Ning Wan’er’s parents, looked tense, knowing the situation.
Li Yuechan and Ning Wan’er were softly comforting their relatives.
Li Muyang seemed to have no role here. After all, there were too many women on this flying boat.
A bunch of women sitting there chatting, and Li Damu and Ning Wan’er’s father, both middle-aged men, also had topics to discuss.
Li Muyang suddenly felt superfluous.
He chose to go back to his room, opened the game, and once again entered 《Dragonkin Awakening》.
