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

Li Muyang found that the situation seemed a bit off.

These past days, following the river downstream and searching within its channels to hunt and kill evil creatures, he often heard people on the river praying to a river god.

But this so-called river god had never been mentioned before; it seemed to have just sprung up recently.

Li Muyang began to wonder, could it be that some kind of demon had emerged in Jade Water River?

From the conversations of the boatmen and fishermen, it seemed that this river god had revealed himself to mortals a few times, which is why he was worshipped so devoutly.

However, Li Muyang had been roaming back and forth through the Jade Water River region these days, and had gotten to know the environment and ecosystem of the river well.

The furthest he had gone was to the river mouth of Jade Water River, where he saw the vast and boundless sea, as well as the endless white fog that shrouded the surface of the sea.

The Misty Sea covered all the seas on this planet; as a Flood Dragon, Li Muyang felt his Divine Sense was vaguely interfered with when he swam into the sea.

Originally, the Bite-Moon Flood Dragon had a very strong sense of direction and could vaguely sense the positions of the stars above even while in the water.

But when he swam into the area engulfed by the mist, all his senses were limited, and he lost his sense of direction.

This bizarre and confusing state made Li Muyang not dare to linger and he didn’t even dare to stray too far from land, immediately returning to Jade Water River for fear of getting lost in the Misty Sea.

This game calculated in real-time; there was no chance to save and start over. If the Bite-Moon Flood Dragon were to lose his way in the Misty Sea, the game would be over.

He returned to Jade Water River and continued to search for evil creatures in the river, without trying to test the boundaries of the Misty Sea.

This Jade Water River region was extremely vast, with several tributaries and three large lakes.

It was an important waterway in the North Land of the Tianyuan Continent.

On both sides of Jade Water River, who knows how many boat families and fishermen depended on the river to make a living.

But the large population also bred an abundance of demons.

Apart from the smaller evil creatures that Li Muyang mainly hunted, there were also three dens of demons in the Jade Water River region.

Li Muyang had observed from a distance that among the creatures emerging from those demon lairs, there were no lack of powerful ones.

At LV4, the Bite-Moon Flood Dragon was only ten meters long; he wasn’t yet qualified to mess with those three demon dens.

Therefore, although Li Muyang roamed and patrolled the river, his overall behavior was still quite cautious, only hunting the weaker demons, emphasizing a prudent approach (bullying the weak, fearing the strong).

Suddenly hearing about a new Evil God emerging in Jade Water River, Li Muyang was curious, but didn’t take it too seriously.

He just took it as another new demon appearing in Jade Water River.

In the North Land of the Tianyuan Dynasty, it seemed that due to a group of special beings known as “Wandering Gods” beyond the border, there were no Cultivators on this land; even the Demon Suppression Magus from the Qintian Supervisory Authority wouldn’t come to the North Land.

The new river god of Jade Water River might be a newly born Evil God, or possibly a demon that had escaped from the south.

Li Muyang originally didn’t plan to concern himself with it, but then he heard people saying that outside Baizhou City, a wealthy patron had built a temple for the river god and was making offerings to this new river god.

It was said that the river god had saved the patron’s only child from drowning, so the patron contributed money to build the temple as thanks to the river god.

Li Muyang immediately rushed to Baizhou City, curious to see what this new river god looked like, so he could steer clear of him in the future.

But when Li Muyang arrived at the outskirts of Baizhou City under the cover of night, and sneaked into the small temple by the river in the dark, he found that the temple was enshrining a statue of a Flood Dragon.

The entirely white Flood Dragon looked like a fine jade, with two small delicate horns on its forehead.

Even though the clay sculpture of the deity seemed crude in detail, the Flood Dragon looked in every way… like myself?

Li Muyang lay in the shadows of the River God Temple, dumbfounded.

The river god enshrined in the temple was actually me?

Li Muyang immediately sensed something was amiss.

Just as he stepped into the River God Temple, a system prompt suddenly popped up in his field of vision. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire

[The Incense Fire Divine Path has been unlocked]

[Current Incense Willpower: 13]

[Would you like to illuminate the statue?]

Li Muyang discovered that within the system interface, there was a new interface—[Incense Fire Divine Path].

Upon clicking into it, what immediately caught his eye was the statue of the Moon-Biting Flood Dragon.

The system indicated that the current statue could be illuminated.

[Note: After illuminating a statue, you can listen to the prayers of believers through it. By consuming the power of incense prayers, you can remotely command the statue to act, and the avatar puppet will possess 1/10 of the body’s mana.]

“…It really is my temple.”

Li Muyang felt astonished by this result.

After pondering for a while, he chose to illuminate the statue.

This was clearly an evolutionary path of the system.

Most likely, it was when he was offline that the autonomous system control made the Moon-Biting Flood Dragon go out to save people and reveal its divine presence.

Otherwise, the mortals along the banks of the Jade Water River wouldn’t possibly know about the flood dragon beneath the river.

As Li Muyang illuminated the statue, a warm white light suddenly flickered across the muddy flood dragon sculpture on the shrine.

The once roughly detailed and slightly ugly mud sculpture of the deity transformed in an instant, becoming exquisitely beautiful after the white light entered. Apart from being smaller in size, the mud sculpture was the exact likeness of the Moon-Biting Flood Dragon’s true form.

Even the scales that floated onto its surface seemed to be flickering faintly with a rainbow shimmer.

The roughly detailed statue, in just a moment, turned from decay to miraculousness, becoming lifelike.

Li Muyang stood inside the dark temple for a while, then turned to return to the nearby river outside.

The night’s visit to this river deity temple brought an unexpected delight.

A new skill tree had been unlocked.

But wasn’t this autonomous system a bit too intelligent?

Not only was it hunting evil creatures for experience points, but it was also saving people…

Li Muyang submerged back into the waters, making use of the cover of night.

The night was when those demons made their move, and it was also the Moon-Biting Flood Dragon’s hunting stage.

By the time dawn broke and the familiar anti-addiction system logged on, Li Muyang had already killed over a dozen demons and was about to level up to LV5.

He opened his eyes inside the Flying Boat, and after being kicked out by the system, he got up immediately.

His sister’s voice sounded on time from outside the door.

“Bro! It’s time for dinner.”

Li Muyang left to eat dinner, everything going smoothly.

In the Jade Water River, the Moon-Biting Flood Dragon, which had regained control of its body once more, stared curiously with widened eyes.

“What did that person do…”

She had watched helplessly last night as that person entered the river deity temple and saw the deity statue on the shrine.

She had not expected that those humans would not only give her a weird and ugly name but also make an imitation flood dragon that resembled her for worship.

Clearly, that fake flood dragon was hideous, and it made her want to destroy that ugly thing—she wasn’t that ugly, right?

But then that person did something, and she saw a flash of white light, followed by the hideous fake flood dragon suddenly looking good.

And vaguely, she felt a certain connection forming between her and that fake flood dragon.

In her body, it seemed that a thin and scarce mysterious energy had multiplied.

And this energy, unlike the energy she got from eating evil creatures, was very hot and seemed like it could burn her if she wasn’t careful.
