The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

Chapter 288 The River God Master and the Maid



“`

“The unrest in the South has gotten increasingly intense…”

“I’ve heard that the Chaos Army is almost at the Capital City.”

“Those fiends from the Blood Demon Path are causing havoc everywhere, supposedly slaughtering creatures wherever they go, it’s uncertain if the court can withstand them.”

“I heard that His Majesty has fallen critically ill, and court politics are now dominated by Master Pang…”

“Heh… Master Pang…”

On a large boat drifting downstream, two young men were quietly discussing the current situation on the deck.

When the name Master Pang was mentioned, they both scoffed and shook their heads in derision but dared not say anything more.

Beneath the seemingly calm surface of the river, a white giant shadow silently followed along with the boat.

Because of the powerful senses of the Moon Biting Crocodile, Li Muyang could clearly hear the conversation of the two men on the boat.

A thought crossed his mind, and he thoroughly confirmed that this was indeed the Tianyuan Dynasty.

The Blood Demon Path, the Southern unrest, the havoc spread by the Chaos Army… these were all classic elements of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

So, it made sense that this river was home to such a multitude of evil beings.

The Tianyuan Dynasty was known for its scarcity of Cultivators, and now, in the dynasty’s final years with the world in turmoil, the people in various regions were suffering immensely.

The resentment breathed by living beings gave rise to the birth of evil beings in the world.

Add to that the influence of the Guilt Well on the Tianyuan Continent.

Just in the river where Li Muyang was hiding, there were so many evil beings roaming. It was unknown how many more evil spirits had been born across the lands of the entire Tianyuan Dynasty.

And considering the influence of the Ancient Evil God within the Guilt Well…

Li Muyang, submerged in the river, squinted his eyes, feeling a twinge of concern.

He had the feeling that if things continued to develop in this direction, the Tianyuan Dynasty would turn into a breeding pool for evil spirits.

With so many evil beings born and wandering on earth, could that really be without consequence?

As Li Muyang pondered, he was about to leave in search of new prey.

But at that moment, the voices of the two young men discussing above came through once again.

“… I heard that the Glass Immortal Maiden from the Mysterious Sword Sect is coming to the North Land.”

“Oh? The Glass Immortal Maiden is coming to the North Land? I’ve vaguely heard of this fairy, they say she is the close disciple of Qingye Zhenren.”

“Yes, that’s her. Word has it she’s going to come up here to our North Land to vanquish demons and eradicate the troubling evil spirits infesting our mountains, wilds, and rivers.”

“Alas… The North Land is a harsh and cold place, historically neglected. Beyond the border, there are roaming spirits, said to be extremely unfriendly to those on the Path of Immortality. In these troubled times, only the noble ones from the Mysterious Sword Sect are coming to our North Land.”

“I hope this Glass Immortal Maiden arrives in the North Land and cleanses the evil spirits breeding in the wilds and rivers.”

“It’s a harsh and treacherous land, the North, even the Demon Suppression Magus from the Heavenly Monitors doesn’t want to come close. If the Glass Immortal Maiden from the Mysterious Sword Sect is willing to come and suppress demons, she truly embodies the noble spirit of those on the Path of Immortality…”

“After all, she is a disciple of Qingye Zhenren…”

Li Muyang, listening from the river, was slightly surprised by the conversation he heard.

The Glass Immortal Maiden… coming here?

Damn!

That’s an old acquaintance!

If the Glass Immortal Maiden were to come here for demon suppression, it would be perfect to team up with her.

The Glass Immortal Maiden had grown stronger after the turmoil in the Three Rivers City, after banishing her Heart Demon.

If he teamed up with her, Li Muyang could challenge stronger demons and speed up his leveling.

The more he understood about this world, the greater Li Muyang’s urgency to increase his cultivation level.

The existence of the Guilt Well was like a hanging sword over everyone’s head in this world.

Although that sword might not necessarily fall on Li Muyang’s own head, it’s better to be safe than sorry, and having stronger cultivation was definitely better.

Li Muyang, still hidden in the water, listened a bit more, but discovered that the two young men were no longer discussing the Glass Immortal Maiden.

Instead, they were eagerly discussing which brothel to visit and which girl to favor once they arrived in Baizhou City that night…

Listening to the two young men vigorously debate the merits and skills of the various brothel girls, Li Muyang shook his head speechlessly and swam away.”

“`

He submerged himself in the waters, continuing to search for evil creatures, hunting and leveling up.

The only difference now was that Li Muyang deliberately moved closer to the large boats to eavesdrop on the conversations of those on board.

“He’s started to take an interest in those people on the river’s surface?”

The Bite-Moon Jiao swimming in the river pondered in confusion.

Today, she noticed that the man’s behavior had changed again.

Now he was starting to listen to the speech of the people on the river’s surface, but he didn’t seem interested in eating them.

He was simply listening.

“Could it be that he is also learning to speak the language of humans?”

Bite-Moon Jiao tilted her head, thinking hard, but couldn’t come to a conclusion.

However, she felt it was alright not to understand, as long as she followed suit.

Ever since that person came into her body, everything he had done had been beneficial to her.

She might not understand it right now, but as long as she followed along, she would eventually get it.

That person must be much smarter than her.

After all, she had only recently gained spiritual intelligence, and counting the days before that awakening, she had been in this world for less than a year.

For the things she didn’t understand, all she had to do was learn.

So, while hunting in the water, she also began to mimic the man’s actions, occasionally sticking close to the riverboats to listen to the discussions above.

At first, she didn’t understand much, but as she listened more frequently, she gradually began to comprehend what those people were saying.

Through these days of hunting and leveling up, the man consistently arrived inside her at a set time, hunted with her, and then left at another fixed time.

And when he was gone, she hunted alone and listened to the speech of those on the ships by herself.

Finally, when her size grew once more, increasing from five meters to ten, she understood the voices of the people on the ships.

Although there were many words that she did not understand, she could at least grasp what those people were talking about.

During this process, she occasionally saw some people fall from the boats into the water.

Most of them were human children; there were also some adults who couldn’t swim.

Whenever this happened, she would actively swim over and lift the fallen people back onto the boats.

At first, when those people saw her, they would scream in terror.

But after many instances, nobody screamed in horror when she rescued them. Instead, they would kneel respectfully on the boat and kowtow desperately.

“Thank you, River Deity, for saving our lives!”

Those people said some strange words, and she somewhat understood they were thanking her.

But why did they call her the River Deity?

She didn’t have a name, and River Deity wasn’t her name either.

Those people gave her a distasteful name on their own, how amusing.

Sometimes, as she lay beneath the boats moving along with the river, she would hear some peculiar words.

“…We hope the River Deity ensures our boating trip proceeds smoothly.”

“We hope the River Deity ensures I survive to see my parents back home.”

“We hope the River Deity ensures my husband dies at home… “

Those people talked endlessly with nonsensical requests, as if expecting her to do this and that.

But she had no desire to comply.

She didn’t understand why those people addressed her with such requests, as if she could do anything and everything.

Moreover, you’re not that person; why should I listen to what you have to say?

She thought proudly, I’m certainly not some maid to be ordered around.
