The Game with Fairies-Chapter 341

The wind and snow howled outside the carriage.

On the rugged road, the dilapidated carriage’s shaft creaked unpleasantly.

Li Muyang, wrapped in a blanket, curled up in a corner, looked at the stunningly beautiful fairy-like Xiao Yecao, who smiled and said,

“…It’s just that I can’t rest easy about you, Elder Brother. What if I attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality, leaving you alone in this mundane world? Without my care, what would you do?”

“Elder Brother, as a mere mortal, might get eaten by a demon beast the moment you step outside.”

“Otherwise, I could become an immortal at any time if I wished.”

“I’m just worried about you, Elder Brother.”

Xiao Yecao blinked innocently, acting cute towards Li Muyang.

But Li Muyang knew that this girl was just talking nonsense.

In the long-running daily plot, this girl had several breakdowns due to her failures in ascending to immortality.

Each time, Li Muyang had to patiently comfort her, accompany her in fun and games, and cheer her up.

Occasionally, he even had to play the role of a life coach, spouting some motivational gibberish to lift the spirits of the disheartened Xiao Yecao.

Becoming an immortal, even for this girl with the bearing of an immortal, was extremely difficult.

It was nowhere near as simple as she claimed.

Li Muyang shook his head, about to expose Xiao Yecao’s lies.

But then he saw the fairy in front of him giggling as she moved closer, casually sitting in front of Li Muyang, batting her eyelids and saying,

“If it really comes down to it, I’ll marry Elder Brother.”

“Before becoming an immortal, I’ll bear a few children for you, Elder Brother, then accompany you in old age and be by your side until the end of your brief life.”

“Perhaps after Elder Brother passes away, I’ll be able to let go of my obsessions, no longer have worldly concerns, and then I could become an immortal.”

Xiao Yecao was as irreverent as ever.

She giggled and said, “I know Elder Brother likes women with big chests. Every time you see a beauty with a large bust, you always sneak peeks at them for a good while.”

“The ones Elder Brother rejected before must have been because their chests were too small, not to Elder Brother’s liking.”

Xiao Yecao said, exaggerating her movements as she puffed out her chest.

“But I’m different. I’m quite confident. Elder Brother surely won’t reject me, right?”

Even though she was a transcendent fairy just a step away from immortality, Xiao Yecao still made her silly jokes.

Li Muyang, already immune to this, rolled his eyes.

“Don’t pin the blame on me… Your failure to become an immortal has nothing to do with me.”

“The Purple Sun Immortal we met before was also troubled by the mundane world before becoming an immortal, but he still achieved enlightenment, didn’t he?”

“You just can’t find the right path because you’re not skilled enough.”

“If you’re unskilled, just practice more, and stop blaming others all the time.”

Li Muyang shook his head and said,

“As for marrying you? Forget it, the karma of marrying you would be too great for a mortal like me to bear.”

This was a future fairy with the appearance of an immortal, and she was destined to die amidst dark turmoil.

Although Li Muyang admired and liked Xiao Yecao’s personality, he always restrained his emotions, never investing too much affection in her.

Otherwise, when the game ended and Xiao Yecao died, would he be in love with a woman who had died thousands of years ago?

Sheesh… He had no desire to experience such a tragic romance of life and death. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Moreover, although Xiao Yecao appeared to be open-minded and carefree, she was actually very strong-willed.

If they started dating and she placed some sort of curse on Li Muyang, like never being able to change his heart in this lifetime, it could affect him thousands of years later after the game ended… Tsk…

Xiao Yecao was definitely capable of such extreme possessiveness.

Jiang Xiaoyu was of the Ancient Evil Lineage, destined to be unable to cultivate and live no more than a hundred years as a mortal.

But Li Muyang was different.

He was about to reach the Cave Profound realm, with the system by his side and a vast future ahead.

He didn’t want to be widowed by a fairy from a thousand years ago.

Continuing to humor Xiao Yecao with a smile, Li Muyang kept her company in their leisurely excursions, maintaining his daily routine as usual.

Twenty years had passed in the game’s progression, and even if he really waited until Jiang Xiaoyu died of old age, it wouldn’t have much impact on him in the real world.

After all, the Ancient Evil Lineage couldn’t step onto the path of cultivation, and this Jiang Xiaoyu wouldn’t live long.

It was just unclear how the Temple Seal Lord and those demon cultivators managed to transform the Ancient Evil Lineage of Black Cloud Village, allowing those villagers who followed them in cultivation to obtain the special divine powers of cultivators…

……

In the underground world shrouded in gray mist, Li Muyang summoned heavenly fire, bravely withstanding the scorching of the blue flames, and knocked down a twenty-zhang-tall monster.

The monster, with a health bar labeled 【Mad Ancient Evil Cultivator】, was a well-known villager from Black Cloud Village.

Li Muyang was already well-acquainted with these “fellow villagers.”

In the world of gray mist, there were not only the villagers of Black Cloud Village but also many peculiar creatures.

However, all these creatures were possessed by Heart-Eating Worms, which had taken over their bodies and controlled their souls.

Every time, Li Muyang had to slay these monsters’ bodies and souls, rendering them powerless, causing the parasitic Heart-Eating Worms to lose their strength and scatter like headless flies.

After another successful login, Li Muyang skillfully defeated the monster and collected many Heart-Eating Worms into a gourd.

Standing in the midst of the gray mist, although the blue flames on his body had subsided, Li Muyang still grimaced in pain.

The pain from the blue fire was so intense that he still felt phantom pain even after the flames had dissipated.

However, seeing the number of Heart-Eating Worms in the gourd, Li Muyang immediately felt happy.

“You’ve worked hard.”

Li Muyang was quite surprised as he praised, “In just one day and night, you’ve caught so many Heart-Eating Worms, even more impressive than me.”

There were at least two hundred Heart-Eating Worms in the gourd.

During the day and night he was offline due to the anti-addiction system, Dragon Maiden hadn’t been lazy.

She had diligently captured Heart-Eating Worms and killed evil creatures.

At this moment, the experience bar had also reached LV9 (99%), not far from leveling up.

This naive and simple Dragon Maiden was more reliable than he had imagined.

Hearing Li Muyang’s praise, Dragon Maiden was very happy.

She giggled shyly, “Then shall we continue to capture Heart-Eating Worms? The monsters here seem endless. We could catch them for a long time.”

The increase in strength made her joyful and eager to stay in this underground gray mist world, devouring all the evil creatures before leaving.

Li Muyang, however, glanced at the system interface and shook his head.

“No, let’s go back and exchange for Seven Marrow Pills.”

There were only a few days left before being swallowed by the earth.

Even if he wanted to level up in the underground gray mist world, he needed to postpone his death first.

Li Muyang took a deep breath, swallowed the corpse of the monster, and as the prompt 【Experience +10】 kept popping up in his field of vision, he soared up in the gray mist world, flying towards the outside.

He was going to take these two hundred plus Heart-Eating Worms to the Mother Buddha Temple to exchange for Seven Marrow Pills.

And on the way there, the newly digested evil creature would be enough for him to level up to LV10.

Riding the clouds, Li Muyang quickly ascended ten thousand zhang, flying out of the dark and profound underground pit and returning to the outside world.

After discerning the direction in the sky, Li Muyang headed straight for the Mother Buddha Temple.

Two hundred li away, the Mother Buddha Temple was quickly reached by Li Muyang, who rode upon a cloud-wreathed Flood Dragon.

However, upon landing at the gates of the Mother Buddha Temple, he found it eerily silent and deserted, with no sign of any living soul.

Even the evil women who previously swarmed the mountain were nowhere to be seen.

An odd and ominous aura drifted within the Mother Buddha Temple.

The Dragon Maiden, with a look of shock and uncertainty, said, “The foul stench inside the Mother Buddha Temple has faded a lot!”

The previously pervasive and loathsome aura of Yin and evil that enveloped the Mother Buddha Temple, which both Li Muyang and the Dragon Maiden found extremely repulsive, had indeed diminished significantly and was no longer intense.

Li Muyang, gazing at the desolate Mother Buddha Temple before him, felt a sudden pang of foreboding in his heart…

Could something have happened to the Mother Buddha Temple?

With this realization, the joy he had felt from leveling up to LV10 on the road instantly dissipated.

Li Muyang, wary of the temple before him, halted his steps and did not rashly enter.

The Mother Buddha who presided over the temple was no ordinary character.

If something had indeed gone wrong with the Mother Buddha Temple, then the enemy who had attacked must be formidable!
