The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 854: Going Out in Spring

Chapter 854 -854: Going Out in Spring

“No wonder my master always says, ‘Revealing your brilliance in front of others comes with suffering behind the scenes’… If you didn’t say it, who would’ve known the sacrifices you’ve made were this great?”

Yu Xiaoshuang sighed to herself, taking the opportunity to express her admiration.

Li Muyang clearly felt that after the Heart Moon Fox finished speaking, the hand Chu Qingxue was holding gripped his even tighter.

“This…” Li Muyang was at a loss for words and said, “It’s just that this time the price was severe. Losing the avatar before didn’t really affect my true body.”

Although appearing pitiful could garner goodwill and reputation, Li Muyang’s reputation on the Tianyuan Continent was already at its peak, and he didn’t feel the need to fabricate stories or craft an artificial image.

He was always straightforward with his words.

Yu Xiaoshuang clicked her tongue again in amazement and said, “Senior, you truly have a soft spot for beauties. Clearly, it’s Chu Fairy who feels for you and spoke out of concern.”

The girl was about to continue speaking when she noticed Li Muyang glaring at her with raised eyes.

Yu Xiaoshuang instantly tucked her tail between her legs and ran off.

“I just remembered, my master is looking for me…”

Finishing her sentence, the girl, who thrived on chaos and always yearned for drama, swiftly darted away.

Though a little mischievous, the girl had good instincts.

Whenever Li Muyang glared, she knew it was time to turn and flee.

Once everyone had retreated, only Chu Qingxue remained by Li Muyang’s side.

Liu Li Fairy silently let go of Li Muyang’s hand and asked, “There hasn’t been any news from the Ancient Resentment Well. Did Shen Yan leave any agreed-upon signal with you before parting ways?”

Liu Li Fairy was steering the conversation back to serious matters.

The current atmosphere between the two was slightly awkward.

The group had subtly scattered to give them privacy, which only thickened the ambiguous tension.

Attempting to dispel this tender mood, Liu Li Fairy brought up business.

However, Li Muyang, thick-skinned as always, sat upright with a justified and natural demeanor, seemingly oblivious to any awkwardness, as he casually replied.

“There wasn’t an agreed signal, but I firmly believe she’ll succeed. The process just takes time.”

Li Muyang said, “Last time I visited the Ancestor Spirit Garden, the entire place was parched and desolate. The Ancestor Spirits have undoubtedly been in deep slumber for an age. Even with the Red Evil Bell, Shen Yan will need to expend considerable energy and time to awaken them.”

“Perhaps she’ll first have to repair the internal fissures within the Ancestor Spirits before they can be brought back to life.”

Li Muyang glanced at the system interface, noticing a line of prompts.

[Mud Incarnation has died]

[Game under maintenance]

[Maintenance duration: 11:55:33]

This time, the game imposed a penalty for death—every Mud Incarnation’s death necessitated a 12-hour cooldown before reentry.

At the very least, after the death of the Taixu Sword Embryo, Li Muyang would need another 12 hours before reentry.

By now, it was daytime on the Tianyuan Continent. The Evil God projections had temporarily retreated, giving the frontlines on Feiyun Mountain a much-needed respite.

Li Muyang and Liu Li Fairy strolled away from the camp, descending the mountain as they discussed the state of affairs.

“After the Heaven and Earth Seal was broken, many of the senior brothers and sisters in the Sword Sect, gifted beyond measure, started sensing breakthroughs on the horizon.”

“But they still need some time to reach the Taichu Realm.”

“For now, we can only gather at Feiyun Mountain and use the Mystic Sword Formation, passed down by our master, as the cornerstone to fend off those Evil God projections.”

“Fortunately, most of the common folk in the southern provinces were evacuated to the north earlier. Though this calamity is immense, few civilians have perished.”

“The Demon Suppression Magi of the Qintian Bureau are faring much better. Their strength sources differ from ours as cultivators. With the Heaven and Earth Seal broken, their power grew rapidly.”

“At this point, they’re the primary force stabilizing against the Evil God corruption.”

With a touch of melancholy, Liu Li Fairy detailed the current outlook.

Li Muyang listened quietly, filled with emotion and a heavy sigh.

“We must act swiftly…”

The Demon Suppression Magi of the Qintian Bureau could still hold the line because their power ascended alongside the breaking of the Heaven and Earth Seal, allowing them to produce Demon Suppression Magi on par with the Taichu Realm.

But the Taichu Realm was essentially the pinnacle of their capabilities.

Even Miao Fengjun, the Demon Lord who originally pioneered this wicked and unorthodox path, never managed to ascend to immortality himself.

The upper limit of the Demon Suppression Magi was the Taichu Realm.

For now, with the highest power on earth stuck at the Taichu Realm, the Demon Suppression Magi could still barely hold the line.

But once the Heaven and Earth Seal shattered another layer and True Immortal-level powers descended upon the Mortal World…

All resistance on earth would crumble in an instant, obliterated as though swept away by an unstoppable tide.

This outing into nature was uneventful.

The Evil God projections wouldn’t show themselves during the day, and with the Sword Immortals stationed at Feiyun Mountain, even the smallest of demons and monsters had long fled.

Li Muyang and Liu Li Fairy walked side by side, talking about the state of the Tianyuan Continent, the cultivation world across the Misty Sea, and the Immortal Artifact Masters.

Gradually, the conversation turned toward their personal life experiences.

Chu Qingxue’s tone remained as cool and aloof as ever, yet she spoke endlessly about her childhood, about being adopted by her master, about how her senior brothers and sisters cared for her after she joined the sect, and about her days of practicing the sword and meditating on the Dao in the mountains.

She narrated her tales in earnest, rich with details.

It was a simple life, but it felt like her name—Liu Li, like glass—pure, transparent, and crystal-clear.

Though deeply tied to the Great Black Sky Buddha Mother, none of the Buddha Mother’s malevolent nature seemed to manifest in Chu Qingxue.

Li Muyang even suspected that perhaps Chu Qingxue, at some point, carried a streak of negativity and malice, but the True Man of Green Leaves must have severed it.

With that malevolence eradicated, what’s left is a being as pure and crystalline as glass—a true fairy.

Li Muyang pondered, and the two discussed the customs of the cultivation world, his encounters in the Refinement Demon Sect, and the scheming and infighting among the Demon Path sects.

He recounted his stories of friends and acquaintances in the Refinement Demon Sect.

Time slipped away quickly during their leisurely conversation and stroll.

Gradually, the sunset dyed the clouds red, and Li Muyang and Chu Qingxue had no choice but to return to the Feiyun Mountain battle lines.

Night was approaching, and with it, the shadows that would herald the arrival of the Evil God projections attacking Feiyun Mountain.

Li Muyang’s dual-tasked manipulation of Mo Immortal’s corpse was currently the only Taichu Realm-level battle power Feiyun Mountain had, and it couldn’t be absent.

Ever since Li Muyang’s cultivation advanced to the Heavenly Eternal Realm, his ability to control Mo Immortal’s corpse had also increased exponentially.

Where once he could use it only sparingly, he now could summon it daily for up to two months straight.

Li Muyang believed that within these two months, the Mysterious Sword Sect would surely produce proper Taichu Realm Sword Cultivators.

After all, those senior brothers and sisters of Liu Li Fairy were truly monstrous talents.

Though perhaps not comparable to their master, the True Man of Green Leaves, in the wider cultivation world, they would easily dominate a region and define an era.

Li Muyang had no doubt they would quickly break through to the Taichu Realm.

Once everyone returned to their posts, Li Muyang found an empty tent to rest in and activated his game system.

After a brief wait, the game maintenance countdown finally ended.

Li Muyang was at last able to re-enter the game.
