The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 507 The Nine-Tailed Fox

Mourning and melancholic strains of music wafted from within the fog-enshrouded Martial Virtue Hall.

Having just arrived outside the Martial Virtue Hall, Li Muyang and his companion stopped in their tracks.

Li Muyang frowned, tilting his head up to look at the Martial Virtue Hall ahead, unable to discern the nature of the qin music.

Yet, he could vaguely sense a thread of desolation and sorrow echoing within the music.

The young girl Nie Yubing by Li Muyang’s side, truly a miss from a noble family, was momentarily taken aback, recognizing the tune.

"...It’s Consort Duan’s ’Xiao Shan Yue’."

Seeing Li Muyang’s puzzled expression, the young girl quietly explained.

"Consort Duan is widely known as a great talent, unparalleled in both qin and painting, her literary grace surpassing both ancient and modern times."

"She once created the famous painting ’Transitory World,’ with such exquisite skill that it resonated with the Dao of Heaven. Even Qingye Zhenren of the Mysterious Sword Sect was so enchanted that he stood motionless for three days and nights before finally departing with a hearty laugh."

"She also composed famous melodies ’Xiao Shan Yue,’ ’Worldly Soul,’ ’Nine Delays Tower,’ ’Three Stirrings of the Plum Fairy’... Each one sang throughout the world, melodies that will be remembered for eternity."

Nie Yubing softly narrated the legendary tales of Consort Duan while looking up, her expression filled with confusion, towards the Martial Virtue Hall.

"I had thought Consort Duan followed alongside the Emperor, already transformed into a monster by the tyrant’s wicked magic."

"But the mournful sadness in this qin music is not something a monster could play, and even if the monster possessed Consort Duan’s memories, it could not capture this essence. The one playing the qin must undoubtedly be the real Consort Duan..."

Nie Yubing’s eyes showed her bewilderment, surprised that Consort Duan hadn’t turned into a monster.

Li Muyang, however, narrowed his eyes, looking ahead at the Martial Virtue Hall.

"Consort Duan..."

He had not been particularly attentive before, but he vaguely remembered that Consort Duan was the Emperor’s most beloved concubine.

The last time he and Nie Yubing had an audience with the Emperor, that sorrowful, graceful, and delicate concubine was always by the Emperor’s side.

Sadness seemed to fill her eyes and brows.

Li Muyang was also reminded of the opening CG for this game, the silhouette of the concubine standing beside the Emperor...

Li Muyang did not speak, taking the young girl’s hand and directly ascending the steps into the Martial Virtue Hall.

The vast emptiness of the Martial Virtue Hall was less foggy, but the air was now denser with a monstrous aura.

The fluttering curtains in the wind, the entirety of the grand hall was imbued with an air of desolation and grief.

A woman of exquisite beauty and sorrowful demeanor sat in the center of the hall, her delicate, fair fingers dancing across the strings of her qin.

Each melodious note floated over.

Even someone like Li Muyang, who was not particularly cultured in music, could tell there was something extraordinary about this music.

Beautiful!

But still...

Looking at the Consort before him, Li Muyang narrowed his eyes.

"...I never expected the world-renowned talented Consort Duan to be a nine-tailed fox."

Within the thick monstrous aura, the woman seated in the hall made no effort to conceal her presence.

Li Muyang, with his powerful perceptions of the Spirit Travel Realm, immediately discerned the source of the woman’s aura.

—The legendary demon, a rare and incomparable nine-tailed fox.

Unlike ordinary fox spirits, the nine-tailed fox is seldom seen, naturally possessing nine tails and strong Divine Skills, ranking on par with mythic beasts like Qiongqi, Qilin, and Bi Fang.

Looking at Consort Duan before him, as well as the faint silhouette of the nine-tailed fox behind her, Li Muyang first saved a file.

He then spoke up: "You are the fabled Demon Queen? Are you the one aiding the Emperor in harming people?"

The young girl Nie Yubing by Li Muyang’s side looked shocked and incredulous, staring with a stunned expression as if her entire worldview had been shattered.

She seemed unable to accept the fact that the talented Consort Duan, praised through the ages for her ingenuity, was in reality an evil demon.

Inside the Martial Virtue Hall, the melodious sound of the zither paused slightly.

The sorrowful-looking woman raised her head, glanced at Li Muyang, and let out a bitter smile.

"...Nameless Immortal has misunderstood; the Imperial Consort is not the Queen of Monsters."

"The so-called Queen of Monsters lies beneath this grand hall, within her den," she said as she then gently exhaled a breath of cold air. "Please leave, gentlemen. The Emperor has gone to Heiyuan Pass and is not in the Capital City."

"If you leave now, there will be no danger."

"This monster-filled, misty Imperial City is no longer a place for the living."

In a sad whisper filled with sincerity, the woman seemed to genuinely urge Li Muyang and his companion to leave.

But, looking at the nine-tailed fox’s shadow behind the woman and the thick and intense demonic aura inside the Martial Virtue Hall,

Li Muyang simply shook his head with a smile and said, "Thanks for your kindness, Imperial Consort. Regretfully, I am quite stubborn. Since I promised the Crown Princess to kill the Queen of Monsters, I won’t give up."

Having said that, Li Muyang took a step forward, ready to launch an attack.

But within the demonically miasmic Martial Virtue Hall, abruptly the sound of the zither trembled.

The next second, two heads dropped to the ground,

—the disguised monster controlled by Li Muyang and Nie Yubing behind it, their heads, one large and one small, fell amidst the sound of the zither.

The game over CG image ejected Li Muyang from the game.

[Nie Yubing has died, game over]

"...Dammit,"

Li Muyang, who opened his eyes within the cabin of the Flying Boat, subconsciously touched his neck.

This death felt particularly immersive.

The legendary nine-tailed fox sure had an unpredictable way of killing.

And with her extraordinary bearing and charm expressed in every movement, she seemed like a fairy alighting onto the mortal world.

Compared to this nine-tailed fox, those fox spirits he had encountered at Cloud Mist Lake, even the strongest among them, the Third Mistress, were merely provincial chickens.

They paled in comparison.

Li Muyang shook his head and remarked, "As expected, a divine beast is indeed a divine beast. Being at the same level as the mythical Bi Fang, it’s really tough to deal with."

And this nine-tailed fox wasn’t even an adolescent; its strength and Divine Skills, if unleashed on Li Muyang’s continent, could probably sweep through an entire region.

Although Cultivators are rare in Tianyuan Continent, its high-end combat power far exceeds that of Li Muyang’s own continent.

Remembering the abrupt death scene and speculating about the nine-tailed fox’s method of killing, Li Muyang reentered the game and loaded the save file,

Although this nine-tailed fox seems pitiable, her tragic and sorrowful demeanor tugging at heartstrings, unfortunately, a boss that shows its health bar only has one path—death.

Li Muyang quickly dove back into the game to challenge again.

And then...

"This nine-tailed fox... so formidable!"

Li Muyang, who suffered seventeen miserable defeats, felt rather numb after the last brutal death ejected him from the game interface.

He knew the nine-tailed fox was fierce but didn’t expect her to be this tough.

Even with Nie Yubing’s greatly enhanced strength and the aid of many ancient forbidden spells, Li Muyang couldn’t last a minute against the nine-tailed fox.

Every time, he was easily killed by the sound of the zither, while the nine-tailed fox didn’t even need to move, always sitting in the same spot.

The best Li Muyang ever did was get within thirty feet of her...

Having realized the strength of this boss, Li Muyang massaged his temples with a headache,

"If one nine-tailed fox is this hard to defeat..."

The demon Emperor of the Lu Imperial Dynasty is probably even stronger.
