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

“Beyond the frontier, there’s more than just roaming spirits…”

Having witnessed the demise of two such spirits, Li Muyang was not greatly moved.

He simply walked over to the corpse of the weasel, looking down at its two-meter-long body with a complex expression in his eyes.

In its final moments, the weasel had even thought to cover for him…

“You and I were but strangers who briefly crossed paths, with no deep connection, why bother to cover for me…”

Li Muyang let out a soft sigh, saying, “You could have easily betrayed my location and perhaps secured a chance to live.”

Although he was not concerned about the weasel, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret upon hearing that it had tried to help him in its dying moments.

Li Muyang quickly dug a simple grave in the mountains and buried the two-meter-long body of the weasel.

The voice of the Bite-Moon Jiao sounded in his ear.

“Li Muyang, what exactly is this place beyond the frontiers… Not only are there roaming spirits, but also this so-called Buddha Mother Temple, it feels both terrifying and chaotic…”

the Bite-Moon Jiao felt afraid.

After all, the frontier was too close to the counties of the North Land, and the part of the Jade Water River where she resided even bordered the edge of the North Land, less than a hundred yards from the frontier.

Having so many terrible evil beings right at your doorstep was indeed frightening.

The wind in the forest blew directly at Li Muyang as he stood in front of the little grave mound of the weasel, looking towards the north and shaking his head, “It’s probably a cesspool of filth and a den crawling with demons.”

From what he had come to understand, the territory beyond the frontier was indeed sinister.

There were not only the weird and mysterious roaming spirits but apparently also a so-called Buddha Mother Temple, which was clearly another strange and evil force.

Li Muyang said, “It seems that after we eliminate the three demon dens in the Jade Water River, we should set out beyond the border.”

The evil creatures of the counties in the North Land were mere trifles, and as Li Muyang’s level advanced, these minor creatures no longer provided enough experience points for him to level up.

After destroying the three demon dens in the Jade Water River, if Li Muyang wanted to continue leveling up, he had to head north.

However, as Li Muyang finished speaking, a chilling wind blew through the mountains.

The surprised voice of the Bite-Moon Jiao rang in his ear.

“Li Muyang! Look quickly!”

The Bite-Moon Jiao was incredibly shocked, as if she had seen something extraordinary.

Li Muyang’s brow furrowed slightly, and at the moment the Bite-Moon Jiao’s voice sounded, his special skill “Eye of Spiritual Sight” had been triggered.

From the small grave mound beneath his feet, an unusual wisp of green smoke began to rise.

This wisp of green smoke was invisible to the naked eye, and even the mana sight of ordinary cultivators could not detect it.

The Bite-Moon Jiao, who by then was equivalent to a cultivator in the Core Formation Realm with considerable mana, still had to rely on Li Muyang’s innate “Eye of Spiritual Sight” to see this wisp of green smoke.

After the green smoke rose into the sky, it silently transformed into the two-meter-long phantom of a weasel.

With a vacant expression, the phantom of the weasel instinctually drifted towards the northeast.

The harsh sunlight poured down, causing discomfort to the phantom of the weasel.

This nearly transparent phantom flickered undulating waves in the sunlight, as if it was on the verge of dissolving.

Li Muyang instantly exhaled a cloud of mist to shield the weasel phantom from the sunshine.

Only then did the floating, transparent weasel appear somewhat relieved.

But it continued to drift northeastward, driven by instinct and paying no heed to Li Muyang below.

Li Muyang followed swiftly through the mountains, curious to see where it was headed.

The puzzled voice of the Bite-Moon Jiao echoed in his ear.

“Li Muyang, is this what they call a wicked ghost in the legends?”

The Bite-Moon Jiao asked curiously, “Is it looking for those two wandering souls to claim their lives?”

“`

“`

This world does not have the legend of the netherworld or the belief in a grim reaper who guides the dead; souls naturally dissipate after death.

Even folk tales and stories do not feature the drama of underworld reincarnation.

In the minds of the people, ghosts are a type of abomination mutated by hatred and obsession; no different from demons.

Therefore, upon seeing the yellow weasel’s soul float out, the Bite Moon Jiao instinctively thought of the vengeful spirits claiming lives in mortal tales.

But Li Muyang shook his head while looking at the soul above, “It’s not a vengeful spirit.”

The yellow weasel’s soul was clean and pure, not the kind of malevolent ghost mutated by hatred and obsession; it was more like the primeval spirit of a top cultivator.

Yet the yellow weasel had not even achieved transformation, let alone reached the realm where it could cultivate a primeval spirit.

Li Muyang, seeing for the first time that the soul of the deceased could float out, was thus curious.

He followed the yellow weasel’s soul, trailing it through the lengthy wilderness.

Finally, after crossing hundreds of miles, he followed the soul of the yellow weasel to the shore of a vast lake.

This lake was vast and misty; standing by the shore, one could not even see the other side—it almost felt like seeing the sea.

Li Muyang, standing by the lakeside, sensed a strong surge of evil energy emanating from the depths of the lake.

He immediately recognized the lake as Star Moon Lake, the largest within the Jade Water River basin.

It was also the location of three dens of evil creatures.

A dense and intense evil aura seeped out from the bottom of the lake.

Within the three dark caves of the lake, extremely powerful malevolent beings lurked.

Previously, Li Muyang only dared to observe from a distance and never ventured close.

But oddly, although there were three evil dens in the lake, there were no common malevolent creatures such as water monkeys or gui fish in the waters; in contrast, it appeared calm and peaceful, like a blessed place.

As a result, mortals lived contentedly on the lakeshore, with three large cities built by the water, facing each other across the lake.

Li Muyang stood by the lakeside, watching the shadow of the yellow weasel’s soul drift towards the center of the lake.

Its destination was precisely one of the evil dens within the lake.

Witnessing this scene, the Bite Moon Jiao became anxious.

“Oh no! There are terrifying evil beings in there!”

She also remembered that there were three evil dens within Star Moon Lake.

Seeing the soul of the yellow weasel drifting towards the center of the lake, the Bite Moon Jiao immediately became anxious.

Seeing this, Li Muyang no longer hesitated.

He formed a seal with one hand and chanted the sorcerer’s scripture; whereupon a wisp of dark energy flew out from his sleeve, directly above the lake, scooping up the dazed and confused soul of the yellow weasel and pulling it into his sleeve.

The Ghostly Demon Technique that Yan Xiaoru had imparted to him was a Demon Path cultivation technique, including methods for devouring souls and refining ghosts.

Now, having executed it, he directly used a Demon Path method to forcefully capture the ghostly soul of the yellow weasel into his sleeve.

Witnessing this, the Bite Moon Jiao let out a sigh of relief.

“I thought you weren’t going to save it…”

As for the dark art Li Muyang had used, she was completely unconcerned.

This naïve dragon girl had no real grasp of the concept of right and wrong.

Li Muyang, on the other hand, felt the yellow weasel’s soul struggle within his sleeve, attempting to break free and continue its path towards the lake.

It seemed as if there was something in the waters drawing it in.

Li Muyang, standing on the shore and pondering for a few seconds, said, “Since we’re here, we might as well seize the day.”

After speaking, he leaped into the water and strode towards the direction of the evil den amidst the startled cries of Bite Moon Jiao.

“Hey! Hey! Hey! Li Muyang! What are you doing?”
