Chapter 308 You Have a Wife Too
The enormous flood dragon moved through the water, yet the two frail paper figures fluttered in the wind, following the traces of the flood dragon’s movement.
Li Muyang sensed the presence that was chasing him, his brows slightly furrowing.
“…coming for me?”
Li Muyang immediately stopped moving and surfaced from the lake.
The immense dragon’s body once again emerged from the water.
Amidst the scattering spray, the enormous dragon head coldly watched the two paper figures drifting towards it.
“Do you wish to die?”
The flood dragon issued an icy female voice.
The two paper figures suddenly panicked.
Hovering in the air, they knelt midair as if riding the wind and traveling freely through the sky.
“We beg the Dragon Goddess to spare our lives!”
The paper figures cried out simultaneously for mercy.

The enormous flood dragon coldly watched them and said, “Since you fear death, why pursue me?”
The paper figures cautiously studied the flood dragon’s expression, seemingly trying to gauge the revered flood dragon’s thoughts.
But the vast dragon’s gaze was icy, its golden vertical pupils emotionless, inscrutable, and unfathomable.
The paper figures hesitated briefly, then decided to frankly reveal their purpose.
“We report to the Dragon Goddess, my brother and I come from beyond the border, entrusted by a superior to search for you within the barrier.”
“We heard that the Goddess has swept away evil spirits within the barrier, slain demons, and protected the tranquility of the land.”
“The superior has tasked us, brothers, to enter the barrier and invite the Dragon Goddess beyond it.”
“The superior mentioned that beyond the border, there lies a true dragon’s treasure, long sealed. Now that the Dragon Goddess has appeared, you could retrieve that treasure, and it would bring peace and stability to these troubled lands!”
The paper figures were sincerely fearful, fully disclosing their intentions.
The enormous flood dragon coldly stared at them, its voice still female.
“What superior? What is their name? And what treasure is this? Why come to invite me?”
A terrifying aura surged forth with the flood dragon’s interrogative voice, nearly blowing the paper figures away with its ferocity.
In their hastiness, they said, “Replying to the Goddess, that superior is a Great Divine Power beyond the border, known as Shan Yangbo. It is said he has lived for nineteen hundred years, can summon the wind and rain, and transform myriad forms.”
“He asked us to invite the Goddess because a great catastrophe is about to unfold beyond the border, and he hopes the Goddess will lend her power.”
“The true dragon’s treasure is called the Dragon Spine Sword, purportedly an immortal artifact forged from the bones of a true dragon during ancient times.”
“Shan Yangbo said that if the Goddess were to possess this treasure, perhaps she could shed her mortal flesh and transform into a true dragon!”
The paper figures spilled everything they knew like bamboo tubes pouring beans.
And the moment their tale was told, a system prompt suddenly popped up in Li Muyang’s view.
[Special Mission: The Dragon Spine has been triggered]
[Mission Description: Travel beyond the border, seize the Dragon Spine Sword, and refine it]
Seeing this mission alert, Li Muyang narrowed his eyes.
A system trigger?
It seems there’s yet another reason to venture beyond the border.
After a brief moment of thought, Li Muyang addressed the two paper figures before him.
“You go back and tell Shan Yangbo that I will soon cross the border and we can discuss this matter then.”
Having said that, Li Muyang smoothly dissolved into the lake, vanishing along with the water.
He also said to the biting moon flood dragon, “I’m off first, take your time to heal. Tomorrow we’ll check out the second den of evil!”
“As for these paper figures, leave them be for now.”
Although curious about the so-called Dragon Spine Sword, Li Muyang was not in a hurry to leave the border.
He had to first eliminate all the evil spirits within the barrier, consume all the “evolution materials” completely, leaving none, before confronting the demons and spirits beyond the border.
After a brief conversation with the biting moon flood dragon, Li Muyang was forcibly ejected from the game.
The familiar anti-addiction system logged on once again.
He opened his eyes and saw his own little bamboo hut.
After getting up and walking outside, he saw his adopted sister, Li Yuechan, sitting in the courtyard writing a letter.
The sunset on the horizon had completely set, and in the fading light of the courtyard, the young girl was biting on her pen, pondering over the words to write in her letter.
Upon seeing Li Muyang come out, Li Yuechan immediately jumped up with a cheerful smile and said,
“Brother, you’re here!”
Li Muyang looked at her, speechless, and said, “This is my courtyard! What do you mean ‘you’re here’?”
He walked over to the girl and glanced at the words on the letter, then shook his head coldly.
“What are you doing writing a letter here in my place?”
The girl laughed heartily without a care, cheekily sticking out her tongue in a cute manner: “I just couldn’t think of anything to say to Uncle and Auntie, so I came here to change my mood, brother.”
As the girl spoke, seeing that Li Muyang had little reaction to her words, she blinked innocently and added, “Brother, why don’t you help me write it?”
Li Muyang glared at her and said, “Write it yourself! Scram!”
Li Muyang still cut off all communication with his biological parents and did not consider going back to visit them.
Although Li Yuechan’s mischievously cute expression was adorable, it had no effect on him.
Li Muyang walked outside and said, “Isn’t tonight the gathering of everyone? Hurry up, don’t dawdle here.”
The Sect Master of the Demon Sect, Gong Yanghong, was still in closed-door cultivation, trying to make a breakthrough, and the Elders were guarding him.
However, the details of the rewards and punishments for the recent suppression of the Blood Lotus Sect’s rebellion had already been released.
After all, with so many eyes in the Sect and many allies of the Demon Sect watching, it was impossible to let those demons stay in the Sect eating and drinking for free all the time, right?
Therefore, although the Elders had not yet emerged from seclusion, the details of the rewards and punishments had already been finalized in their discussions.
Now, it was handed over to various Direct Disciples to convey on behalf of their masters.
In any case, it was first necessary to distribute the rightful rewards and at least send off that group of demonic allies.
This group of great demons staying in the Sect each day, eating and drinking for free, was costing a significant amount of Spiritual Medicine and Spiritual Objects.
Under the cover of night, Li Muyang and Li Yuechan arrived at the central small square of the Enforcement Hall, where all the Inner Sect Disciples of the Enforcement Hall had gathered.
The event was so grand that even some Offerings of the Enforcement Hall also came out to watch the excitement.
Those Offerings in the Spirit Travel Realm and Divine Skills Realm, curious, either sat or stood at a distance, watching the distribution of rewards from afar.
Ning Wan’er, as the only Direct Disciple of Yan Xiaoru, took the lead in distributing the rewards.
As the main force in quelling the rebellion, those following Yan Xiaoru had infiltrated Tianjiao City for a long time undercover and almost everyone received generous rewards.
But the highlight, of course, was Li Muyang.
Without a doubt, Li Muyang became a Direct Disciple and received all the Spiritual Objects previously promised to him by Gong Yanghong.
The bounty of top-tier Spiritual Objects bestowed upon him elicited envy from the crowd below.
However, what Li Muyang cared about was a strange addition among this pile of rewards.
“…Home leave?”
As he stepped down from the high platform, Li Muyang looked doubtfully at his adopted sister, Li Yuechan.
This home leave was given to him, Li Yuechan, and Ning Wan’er.
The Demon Sect allowed them half a year off to return home for a family visit.
To outsiders, it seemed that Li Muyang was returning home in glory, which was highly enviable.
But Li Muyang had no interest in returning home. He suspected that his adopted sister was meddling.
However, Li Yuechan looked at him innocently and said, “This wasn’t my doing. Elder Yan is being considerate toward us, arranging for all three of us to go home together.”
“Moreover, the timing is just right.”
Li Yuechan continued innocently, “Anyway, brother, you have to go back and call off that marriage, right? Don’t forget, Uncle mentioned a marriage arrangement for you before… Although you ran away, at least you should formally call off the engagement, right?”
“Miss Du from the Du family isn’t married to you yet, and you ran away, which was already very irresponsible.”
“Now that you are a Direct Disciple, although Miss Du can’t reach up to your high branch, at least you should go back and end this marriage decently, right?”
“Otherwise, how is Miss Du supposed to face people in Jiuyuan City in the future?”
