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

The straightforward dragon lady, having none of the complexities and winding paths, felt fear and immediately thought of fleeing.

Even though she had just established the Dragon Palace under the water, officially becoming the Jade Water River’s Dragon Lord.

Li Muyang, however, let out a wry smile and said, “Before True Person Qing Ye went out to sea, he set up the Heaven and Earth Array in Yin Mountain, which would bring destruction to any demon cultivators and other beings that came from the north and crossed over Yin Mountain.”

“This Jade Water Dragon Lord, a native-born demon cultivator here, knows well of the dangers here and is now unable to flee southward.”

Li Muyang stated so.

Chu Qingxue nodded gently and said, “Indeed, it’s impossible for the Dragon Goddess to head southwards now. Only Nameless…”

Chu Qingxue’s searching gaze turned towards Li Muyang: “Nameless, is your true body in the North Land?”

This was something that Chu Qingxue was extremely concerned about.

Li Muyang smiled and said, “My true body is not in the North Land, so don’t worry about me getting eaten.”

“Even if this land devours this physical body, I can still make a complete retreat.”

Li Muyang straightforwardly clarified the situation, dispelling Chu Qingxue’s worries.

But as Chu Qingxue’s concerns were alleviated, the Gou Yue Jiao soul inside of her became anxious.

“Hey! Li Muyang! You’re not planning to abandon me, are you?”

The Gou Yue Jiao suddenly panicked: “Aren’t we friends who share life and death, advancing and retreating together?”

“If you run away by yourself and leave me to die here… Ah, ah, ah! Won’t your conscience hurt for the rest of your life?”

The Gou Yue Jiao tried to awaken Li Muyang’s conscience.

Li Muyang, however, had to fight back a laugh: “Sorry, I don’t have a conscience.”

Chu Qingxue was stunned for a moment, puzzled by Li Muyang’s sudden remark: “Nameless, what do you mean by that…?”

Chu Qingxue thought for a moment, looking suspiciously at the beautiful figure of the dragon lady before her: “Are you talking to the real Dragon Goddess?”

Chu Qingxue saw through it, and Li Muyang did not hide the truth.

He nodded and said, “Yes, there truly is a Dragon Goddess of Jade Water River. This incarnation is a bit different from the previous ones; she and I coexist within this body.”

Previously, the avatars of Li Muyang in the game had no conscious spirit or intelligence.

But this time, the Gou Yue Jiao was indeed different.

However, Chu Qingxue was not surprised by this; she seemed to have guessed it already.

Looking at the dragon lady before her, she spoke softly: “In any event, the land north of Yin Mountain is fraught with danger.”

“Even someone as ostentatious as Senior Brother Shen dares not fly on his sword in the North Land; he chooses to traverse by foot instead.”

If not for her urgency to make haste and to warn Li Muyang as soon as possible, Chu Qingxue too would have traveled across the earth on foot like a mortal.

This time, by pinching the water avoidance art, she was able to travel swiftly down from Jade Water River and arrive at Pingyao City.

After seeing Li Muyang and delivering the most crucial warning, Chu Qingxue also breathed a sigh of relief.

“In any case, this land is perilously dangerous. If Nameless does not wish for the Dragon Goddess to die in ignorance and confusion, you must find a way to avoid being devoured by the earth as soon as possible.”

Chu Qingxue concluded with those words.

And right in Li Muyang’s field of vision, just at that moment, a system prompt appeared.

[Main Quest: Travel beyond the frontier to unravel the secrets of the netherworld and avoid the risk of being devoured.]

[Time remaining before being devoured: 7:21:43]

“???”

The sudden emergence of the system prompt instantly startled Li Muyang.

What the… Goodness me! Is the system springing another surprise on me?

Does this land have a countdown to devouring people?

Looking at this countdown, only 7 days and 21 hours remain?

WTF!

If the Glass Immortal Maiden hadn’t come to warn, unlocking this critical information, would the system have failed to remind him?

And then, mysteriously, in seven days, he’d just get his account deleted?

Li Muyang was somewhat speechless but also somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, the Glass Immortal Maiden had arrived in time to remind him, or else he would have really suffered an inexplicable setback this time.

With that thought, Li Muyang sighed and said to the fairy before him,

“I’ve decided to take a trip beyond the frontier, to seek a solution from those evil beings that could help avoid the deadly threat of this land devouring people.”

Beyond the frontier, there lay not only the materials required for his game character to level up but also the key to whether his game account could continue to exist.

This time, he had no choice but to go.

After a brief silence, Chu Qingxue said, “This might be a way…”

However, Chu Qingxue added, “But there’s something I need to correct.”

She looked at Li Muyang and said, “The beings beyond the frontier… they are not evil creatures.”

In a gentle voice, she said, “My master says that although they are not monster cultivators or spirits, nor are they living creatures, they are not the same as the evil beings from the ancient wells of resentment.”

“The existences beyond the frontier are a different kind of strange anomaly.”

“The only thing my master could be sure of is that these anomalies are the most unique group in the world, and they might be related to the evil lineage from ancient legends.”

Ancient evil lineage…

A thought struck Li Muyang, “Is it the Black Cloud Fort from the Ancient Times?”

Chu Qingxue looked at Li Muyang in surprise and said, “Nameless sir knows about Black Cloud Fort?”

Li Muyang smiled complexly, I know Black Cloud Fort all too well. I even have an alternate game account in the fort.

Unfortunately, that was all Chu Qingxue knew about those anomalies being possibly related to the ancient evil lineage; she didn’t have any more clues.

It seemed that her master also didn’t know much about it, so he didn’t discuss it with his disciples.

But following this line of thought, Li Muyang suddenly remembered the two wandering immortals he had encountered before.

Upon careful consideration, their bizarre states seemed… quite similar to his “Fleshbone Green Robes”?

Uh… Could it really be that they are of the same kind as Fleshbone Green Robes?

Li Muyang narrowed his eyes.

He remembered that Fleshbone Green Robes had an upgrade function.

Apart from the Item Upgrade Charms given by the system, the Fleshbone Green Robes themselves also accumulated upgrade materials after successful hunts.

Could it be possible to use Fleshbone Green Robes to hunt these wandering gods?

Uh… But the two wandering gods he encountered before seemed too strong for Fleshbone Green Robes to defeat.

Li Muyang temporarily shelved this idea in his mind, planning to look for an opportunity to try it after going beyond the frontier.

He refused to believe there were no weaker wandering gods beyond the frontier.

Li Muyang asked Chu Qingxue in detail about the types and strengths of the otherworldly forces beyond the frontier.

However, Chu Qingxue didn’t know much about those anomalies either, and couldn’t provide many useful pieces of information.

But at least, her account enabled Li Muyang to quickly sketch out an outline of the power structures beyond the frontier and gain some understanding of those things’ reality and illusion.

He expressed his gratitude to the Glass Immortal Maiden, thanking her for the information, which was indeed very important.

The original emotional issue seemed to be tacitly set aside by the two of them.

Li Muyang thought the Glass Immortal Maiden was avoiding the subject, so he didn’t bring it up again.

However, after they had finished discussing everything, the indifferent Glass Immortal Maiden suddenly spoke up again and brought up the subject.

“Nameless sir, back in the Heart Demon World, you must have seen all of Qingxue’s innermost thoughts, right?”

The Glass Immortal Maiden, who had been discussing serious matters, suddenly started on this topic inexplicably after everything had ended.

She quietly looked at Li Muyang and said, “What did Nameless sir think at the time?”

Li Muyang, who thought the conversation was over and was caught off guard, was completely bewildered by Chu Qingxue’s sudden attack.

He hesitated for a moment, looking uncertainly at Chu Qingxue before him, and said, “Uh… Immortal Maiden, what do you mean by that?”

The question was so broad and unexpected that Li Muyang had trouble responding and didn’t know how to answer.

But Chu Qingxue was in no hurry.

She quietly watched Li Muyang, maintaining the familiar indifference, as if they were merely discussing something trivial like what to drink later.

However, the words she uttered caused the observing dragon girl to emit an excited and sharp outcry.

“Ah ah ah ah, here it comes! It’s finally happening!”

In the midst of the dragon girl’s excited shouts, Li Muyang heard Chu Qingxue’s soft murmuring.

“What I mean is… Nameless sir, do you dislike me? How do you see Qingxue?”

Qingxue’s uninvited affections toward you… Has this abrupt emotion caused you any troubles?”

With the dragon girl’s excited cries in the background, the murmuring of the Glass Immortal Maiden continued.

“Just say you like her! Li Muyang! She’s so beautiful! Just admit you like her!”
