The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 685: Ghost Fox

The biting cold wind whistled past Jiuyuan City.

Fine snowflakes fluttered sparsely under the gloomy sky.

Li Yuechan stood atop a hill outside the city, quietly gazing at her hometown blanketed in snow, her eyes filled with nostalgia.

"...Back again, huh."

The young girl murmured softly to herself with a sigh.

Unlike the warm, blazing summer in the remote Ark of the South, the northern land was now facing a harsh winter with cold winds and heavy snow.

Jiuyuan City, once an obscure and remote village under the rule of the Refinement Demon Sect, remained a closed, dilapidated small town even after the sect’s downfall.

Outside, the world was in turmoil, and undercurrents surged in the Cultivation World, but none of that mattered here.

The villagers of Jiuyuan City continued their daily lives with little disturbance.

The crumbling city walls were marked with the traces of time.

The impoverished countryside didn’t even have the funds to repair the small earthen walls.

Li Yuechan, followed by several figures, arrived here silently amid the wind and snow.

They did not rashly enter the city, wary of the other sects’ Cultivators possibly watching.

Although Jiuyuan City seemed normal, could the hometown of Lord Mad Demon, Li Muyang, really be unwatched?

The emergence of Ancient Immortal Instruments could drive anyone in the world mad.

These Cultivators would not overlook any person or item related to Li Muyang.

Beneath the quiet and peaceful facade of Jiuyuan City, who knows how many shadows were hidden.

Those foreign dangers might have nothing to do with the local villagers.

But for her, Li Yuechan, the sister of Lord Mad Demon, appearing here would definitely attract brutal pursuit.

Looking at the tranquil city under the snow, Li Yuechan smiled and said, "The hometown is lovely, but it’s a pity I can’t return..."

For a long time to come, she would have to hide and avoid exposing her identity with her brother.

Whether it was her inheritance as a Corpse Immortal or her brother’s Ancient Immortal Instrument, both were objects that would provoke greed and hostility.

Qu Yan, the youth who had followed her to meet Li Muyang at the remote Ark, excitedly said, "Is this the legendary Jiuyuan City? The hometown of Lord Mad Demon! I really want to go in and take a look."

The burly woman beside the youth immediately slapped him on the head, saying, "We are here to do serious business, not to play!"

After speaking, the burly woman looked at Li Yuechan and asked, "Young Master, what should we do next?"

The group followed Li Yuechan to Jiuyuan City, knowing they had important tasks, but unaware of the specifics.

Now that they had finally arrived at Jiuyuan City, the burly woman took the opportunity to speak.

Li Yuechan glanced back at her companions and smiled, "Actually, it’s quite simple. Qu Yan wants to go in and take a look, right? Then all of you go together and visit my hometown Jiuyuan City on my behalf."

"And by the way, help me inquire about any strange people or events in the city."

"Over a decade ago, there was a mysterious fox immortal in the wilderness outside Jiuyuan City who used to help mortals, but it later mysteriously disappeared and whereabouts are unknown."

"You go ask around in the city to see which families had interactions with this fox immortal, as I want to find this fox immortal..."

Li Yuechan assigned the tasks, and her followers promptly accepted the orders.

The youthful Qu Yan jumped up excitedly, only to be slapped on the head again by the burly woman.

"Ah! Sister! It hurts!"

"What kind of demeanor is this yelling and shouting? Keep it together," she scolded.

The burly woman dragged Qu Yan away.

Li Yuechan stayed behind alone, turning her gaze toward the mountains behind her.

After everyone had left, she quietly proceeded into the forest behind her.

Following a familiar path, she soon arrived in front of an unmarked tombstone.

Looking at the lonely little grave in front of her, Li Yuechan took a deep breath and began to dig.

Quickly, the small mound was dug up, and the girl saw the empty coffin inside the grave.

"…Just like brother said."

The girl looked at the empty coffin and sighed deeply.

She carefully examined the inside and outside of the coffin; the traces of damage were fresh, indeed destroyed only in the last month or two.

The small mound outside had also been reburied.

Her brother truly had awakened from this coffin and accidentally discovered the past secrets, hence learning about the existence of the fox immortal.

"But where did the fox immortal go?"

Li Yuechan restored the coffin and reburied the mound, standing in front of her brother’s empty grave, she fell into deep thought.

"Why am I the daughter of the fox immortal? Do I have the bloodline of a devil within me? That’s impossible..."

Her cultivation had already reached the realm of Spiritual Travel, making her a notable figure within the Cultivation World, no longer the frail girl from before.

With the cultivation of the Spiritual Travel realm, she could let her Primordial Spirit travel out of the body and roam the four seas.

Her introspection about herself was clear and thorough.

If she had the bloodline of a devil within her, she would have definitely noticed it.

The mysterious fox immortal intrigued Li Yuechan.

Standing before her brother’s grave, the girl pondered for a long time before preparing to leave.

However, the moment she turned her head, she was startled.

Behind her in the forest, there was a red fox standing on a branch, silently watching her.

Li Yuechan did not know when this fox had arrived; the chilling aura of death surrounding it, like a corpse, was inexplicably creepy.

With her cultivation in the Spiritual Travel realm, how could this fox have approached her unnoticed?

Li Yuechan stayed silent for a moment, then spoke: "May I ask…"

She suspected that the red fox before her eyes was related to the fox immortal.

However, just as Li Yuechan began to speak, she was interrupted by the red fox’s shrill screech.

The red fox, standing on a branch, suddenly emitted a piercing howl.

That terrifying howl made Li Yuechan’s scalp tingle and her entire body tremble.

The next second, her body shook, and she spat out fresh blood flying backward as if struck by a heavy blow.

After she struggled to get up, she found that the red fox had disappeared.

Left at the scene was only one blood-red character.

— Go!

The blood character, filled with sharp murderous intent, seemed to be deeply engraved into Li Yuechan’s pupils like a blade.

At the sight of this character, her pupils suddenly constricted as if she had seen a boundless sea of blood.

"...Is this a warning? A threat?" Li Yuechan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, muttering to herself.

Looking at the bloody character left on the tree, her confusion deepened.

Why was this red fox so fierce towards her, as if harboring a deep-seated hatred?

Telling her to go… was it warning her not to continue investigating the affairs of the fox immortal?

Indeed, this fox was related to the fox immortal.

Li Yuechan stood in front of the empty grave, murmuring to herself, "It seems coming to Jiuyuan City this time was the right decision."

The fox immortal… or beings related to the fox immortal, have not left Jiuyuan City!

They might have always been in Jiuyuan City, watching Li Yuechan in the city.

That is why they immediately issued a warning when Li Yuechan returned to pursue the matter of her death.
