The Game with Fairies-Chapter 323 - Here it comes, finally here
Chapter 323: Here it comes, finally here
Even though she had just established the Water Dragon Palace and officially became the Dragon King of the Yushui River, the straightforward Dragon Maiden, without any beating around the bush, wanted to flee upon feeling scared.
Li Muyang, however, could only give a wry smile.
“Before Master Qingye went out to sea, he set up a great heaven and earth formation at Yin Mountain. Any demonic cultivator or strange being coming from the north would perish upon crossing Yin Mountain.”
“This Yushui Dragon King, being born here, knows the dangers but cannot escape to the south.”
Li Muyang explained.
Chu Qingxue nodded slightly and said, “Indeed, the Dragon Goddess cannot go to the south. Only Lord Wuming...”
Chu Qingxue’s probing gaze turned to Li Muyang: “Lord Wuming, is your true body in the north?”
This was something Chu Qingxue was very concerned about.
Li Muyang smiled and said, “My true body is not in the north, so don’t worry about me being eaten.”
“Even if this flesh is consumed by the land, I can still retreat unscathed.”
Li Muyang simply clarified the situation to ease Chu Qingxue’s worries.
But as Chu Qingxue’s concerns were alleviated, the Moon-Biting Dragon soul within him became anxious.
“Hey! Li Muyang! You’re not planning to abandon me, are you?”
The Moon-Biting Dragon suddenly panicked: “Aren’t we sworn friends, sharing life and death, advancing and retreating together?”
“If you run away and leave me to die here... Ahhh! Won’t your conscience hurt for the rest of your life?”
The Moon-Biting Dragon tried to awaken Li Muyang’s conscience.
Li Muyang, however, had to suppress a laugh: “Sorry, I don’t have a conscience.”
Chu Qingxue was taken aback and somewhat puzzled by Li Muyang’s sudden statement: “Lord Wuming, what do you mean by that?”
Chu Qingxue pondered for a moment, looking suspiciously at the beautiful figure of the Dragon Maiden before her: “Are you talking to the real Dragon Goddess?”
Chu Qingxue had seen through it, and Li Muyang did not hide it.
He nodded and said, “Yes, there is indeed a Dragon Goddess of the Yushui River. This incarnation is different from the previous ones. She coexists with me in this body.”
Li Muyang’s previous game avatars had no consciousness or intelligence.
But this time, the Moon-Biting Dragon was indeed different.
However, Chu Qingxue was not surprised by this.
She seemed to have guessed it already.
She looked at the Dragon Maiden before her and said softly, “In any case, the land north of Yin Mountain is dangerous.”
“Even someone as flamboyant as Senior Brother Shen, when he reached the north, did not dare to fly with his sword but walked on foot instead.”
If Chu Qingxue hadn’t been in a hurry to warn Li Muyang, she would have walked on the ground like a mortal.
This time, she used the water-avoidance technique to travel swiftly from the Yushui River to Pingyao City.
After seeing Li Muyang and delivering the most important warning, Chu Qingxue also breathed a sigh of relief.
“In any case, this land is extremely dangerous. If Lord Wuming doesn’t want the Dragon Goddess to die inexplicably, you must find a way to avoid being devoured by the land as soon as possible.”
Chu Qingxue concluded with this statement.
And at that moment, a system prompt appeared in Li Muyang’s vision.
【Main Quest: Travel beyond the border to unravel the secret of the netherworld and avoid the risk of being devoured】
【Time until devoured: 7:21:43】
“???”
The sudden system prompt startled Li Muyang.
Goodness! Another surprise from the system?
There’s actually a countdown to this land devouring people?
With only 7 days and 21 hours left?
WDNMD!
(TLN: wo diao ni ma de, I f*ck your mom)
If Fairy Liuli hadn’t come to warn him and unlock this important information, would the system have remained silent?
And then, without any explanation, he would be deleted in seven days?
Li Muyang was somewhat speechless but also relieved.
Fortunately, Fairy Liuli came in time to remind him, or else he would have really been caught off guard.
With that in mind, Li Muyang sighed and said to the fairy before him,
“I’ve decided to make a trip beyond the border to seek a solution from those evil creatures, to avoid the deadly threat of this land.”
Beyond the border, not only were there materials for him to level up, but it was also key to whether his game account could continue to exist.
This time, he had no choice but to go.
After a moment of silence, Chu Qingxue said, “That might be a way...”
But Chu Qingxue added, “However, there’s something I need to correct.”
She looked at Li Muyang and said, “Those beyond the border... they are not evil creatures.”
She whispered, “Master said that although they are not demon cultivators or spirits, they are not the evil entities from the Ancient Grudge Well either.”
“Those beings beyond the border are another kind of peculiar anomaly.”
“However, even Master finds it difficult to understand the origins of these anomalies. The only certainty is that they are one of the most unique groups in the world, possibly related to the evil lineages of ancient times.”
Ancient Evil Lineage...
Li Muyang’s mind stirred: “Is it the Black Cloud Village from ancient times?”
Chu Qingxue looked at Li Muyang with surprise and asked, “Does Lord Wuming know of Black Cloud Village?”
Li Muyang smiled wryly, thinking to himself, I know Black Cloud Village all too well.
I even have an alternate game character there.
Unfortunately, Chu Qingxue only knew that these anomalies might be related to the Ancient Evil Lineage, but she had no further clues.
It seemed that her master was also unaware of this matter, hence he had not discussed it with his disciples.
Following this train of thought, Li Muyang suddenly remembered the two wandering immortals he had encountered before.
Thinking carefully about the strange state of those wandering immortals...
It seemed quite similar to his 【Flesh and Bone Green Garment】, didn’t it?
Uh... could it really be the same kind as the Flesh and Bone Green Garment?
Li Muyang narrowed his eyes.
He remembered that the Flesh and Bone Green Garment had an upgrade function.
Aside from the Item Advancement Talisman given by the system, the Flesh and Bone Green Garment itself would accumulate upgrade materials after a successful hunt.
Could he hunt these wandering immortals with the Flesh and Bone Green Garment?
Uhh... but the two wandering immortals he had encountered before seemed to be beyond what the Flesh and Bone Green Garment could handle.
Li Muyang decided to keep this matter in mind and look for an opportunity to try it later.
He didn’t believe there weren’t weaker wandering immortals beyond the border.
Li Muyang then asked Chu Qingxue in detail about the types and strengths of the anomalous forces beyond the frontier.
However, Chu Qingxue didn’t know much about those anomalies and couldn’t provide much useful information.
At least, her account allowed Li Muyang to quickly sketch out the division of powers beyond the frontier and gain some insight into those entities.
He expressed his gratitude to Fairy Chu, thanking her for the information, which was indeed very important.
And the initial emotional issue seemed to have been tacitly set aside by the two of them.
Li Muyang thought Fairy Chu was avoiding the topic, so he didn’t bring it up again.
However, after all the discussions were over, the indifferent Fairy Chu suddenly spoke up again, bringing up the matter.
“Lord Wuming, you must have seen everything that Qingxue felt in her heart in the world of inner demons, right?”
After discussing serious matters, Fairy Chu unexpectedly started this topic again.
She quietly looked at Li Muyang and asked, “What were you thinking at that time, Lord Wuming?”
Li Muyang, who thought the conversation had ended, was completely unprepared and was stunned by Chu Qingxue’s sudden attack.
He hesitated for a moment, looking at Chu Qingxue in front of him, and said, “Uh... Fairy, what are you referring to?”
The question was so broad and sudden that Li Muyang was at a loss for an answer.
But Chu Qingxue was not in a hurry.
She quietly watched Li Muyang, still with that familiar indifference, as if they were discussing something as trivial as what to drink later.
However, the words she uttered caused the Dragon Maiden to let out an excited and sharp cry.
“Ah, ah, ah, here it comes! Finally! Let’s go!!!”
In the midst of Dragon Maiden’s excited shouts, Li Muyang heard Chu Qingxue’s soft whisper.
“I mean... Lord Wuming, do you despise me? What do you think of Qingxue?”
“Qingxue’s sudden affection for you... has it caused you any trouble?”
In the midst of Fairy Chu’s soft murmur, accompanied by Dragon Maiden’s excited shouting.
“Quickly say you like her! Li Muyang! She’s so beautiful! Just say you like her!”
