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

In the quiet little cabin, Li Muyang had taken out the Meat Bone Azure Vestment, which he hadn’t used for a long time.

This sinister system prop was a reward obtained from the instance “Deadly Wild Grass” and possessed extremely eerie Divine Skills.

Even Granny Gu from Black Cloud Fort commented on its malevolent nature.

Li Muyang had used it to Curse Kill Qin Haie, the Direct Disciple who had grievously injured his adopted sister, Li Yuechan.

Now, taking out the Meat Bone Azure Vestment once again, Li Muyang also brought out the wandering spirit painting used in the previous spellcasting ceremony.

The Meat Bone Azure Vestment could only kill one target at a time, and after a moment of contemplation, Li Muyang affixed the painting of the short wandering spirit to the back of the Meat Bone Azure Vestment.

He planned to test it on the short wandering spirit first.

But after affixing the painting, Li Muyang looked around the cabin and couldn’t find any soil.

The Meat Bone Azure Vestment had to be buried underground to be activated.

And now, as the Flying Boat flew high above the sky, there was no soil to be found.

Just as Li Muyang was feeling regretful, his adopted sister Li Yuechan’s voice came from outside the door.

“Brother! We’re about to arrive at Nine-Origins City!”

Yan Xiaoru’s private Flying Boat, truly an artifact owned only by Elders, is much faster than the Sect’s bulkier models.

If the Sect’s Flying Boat is a tractor, then Yan Xiaoru’s private Flying Boat is a Ferrari.

Less than ten days after leaving the Sect, they were already approaching Nine-Origins City.

Upon hearing the news of reaching his hometown, Li Muyang’s heart was deeply stirred.

Returning… Have we returned?

Holding the Meat Bone Azure Vestment in the cabin, he remained silent for a while before finally speaking up.

“Understood, I’ll tidy up and come out shortly.”

After responding to his adopted sister, Li Muyang looked at the Meat Bone Azure Vestment in his hands and sighed softly.

“I’ll activate you later.”

Li Muyang put the Meat Bone Azure Vestment back into the Qiankun Ring, then quickly tidied up and stepped out of the cabin.

On the deck of the Flying Boat, soft grass was laid out as if it were a real grassland, with even little flowers blooming.

Throughout the deck, peach trees that bloom in all four seasons were planted.

The biting cold wind high in the sky could not penetrate this luxurious little Flying Boat. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire

When Li Muyang came out, Li Yuechan and Ning Wan’er were already elegantly dressed and waiting.

Li Yuechan was wearing the most splendid vestment robe of the Sect disciples, reserved for grand ceremonies and important occasions, yet the young girl had taken it out for the occasion.

Ning Wan’er was dressed more simply, but upon closer inspection, the light purple dress was woven from heavenly silk, lavish and exquisite.

To return home in wealth and splendor was only natural, a common sentiment among people.

Moreover, both were returning home in the spotlight, representing the face of their respective families.

The news of their rise to prominence within the Refinement Demon Sect had long reached their hometown.

Now, returning home with everyone’s eyes on them, the situation was extraordinary, and they needed to appear impeccably in both substance and appearance.

In contrast, Li Muyang, dressed in an ordinary vestment robe, appeared much more low-key.

Li Yuechan clicked her tongue and said, “Eldest brother, you still won’t forgive your uncle and aunt…”

Li Yuechan thought that Li Muyang was deliberately opposing his parents.

But Li Muyang shook his head, holding his own eccentric justification.

“As a Direct Disciple, even if I return home in ragged clothes covered in patches, everyone in Nine-Origins City will praise me for my individuality.”

“But if I were merely an Outer Sect Disciple, even if I stole the Sect Master’s vestment robe to wear home, the townspeople would still laugh at me, saying I’m nothing but a monkey in a prince’s garb.”

Li Muyang habitually bickered with his sister, but in reality, he was simply too lazy to change his clothes: “How others view you isn’t about the glamour of your clothes, but about your status.”

Ning Wan’er blinked and said with a light smile, “Ever since he left home to join the sect, Muyang has become increasingly calm and reserved.”

“On this journey, he has been cultivating daily without a pause… It’s no wonder Muyang managed to reach the Core Formation Realm so quickly.”

Ning Wan’er was full of emotions.

The news of Li Muyang’s advancement to the Core Formation Realm had already spread when he returned to the sect.

He was about to become a Direct Disciple, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Li Muyang publicly revealed his Core Formation Realm cultivation.

If he were still at the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet promoted to Direct Disciple and enjoying the treatment of an elder… It’s very likely that some would have harbored ulterior motives against him.

In the Demon Path where the law of the jungle prevails, a cultivation at the later stages of the Core Formation Realm is enough to deter those with nefarious intentions.

However, such rapid advancement in cultivation left the entire sect astonished.

Li Muyang had been on the path of cultivation for just over a year, yet he had already reached Core Formation.

Such a speed of cultivation was truly shocking to the world.

The news of a genius prodigy emerging from the Refinement Demon Sect had even started to spread throughout the Demon Path.

And this was with Li Muyang intentionally concealing his progress, merely announcing that he had just entered Core Formation, rather than being at the later stages of the Realm.

The three of them chatted casually, and soon the Flying Boat stopped at the Ten-Mile Pavilion outside Nine Prefecture City.

This small roadside pavilion was now adorned in reds and greens, crowded with people.

Nearly all the gentry of Nine Prefecture City had come, and the one leading them was none other than Nine Prefecture City’s City Lord Hu Lie, Li Muyang’s father’s immediate superior.

But this Foundation Establishment Realm Hu Lie was now all smiles and fawning, treating the three of them with utmost deference.

In terms of seniority, Hu Lie was just an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple of the Refinement Demon Sect, one who had only been promoted due to his age; he was among the least talented of the lot.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been assigned to a remote small city like Nine Prefecture City.

In terms of cultivation, he was nothing but a shrimp before Li Muyang, who had already formed his core.

The news of Li Muyang’s Core Formation had already spread throughout the Refinement Demon Sect’s territories.

A genius who reached the Core Formation Realm in a year, while not comparable to the ancient sages, could still look down upon both the Immortal and Demon paths, with a boundless future ahead.

Standing at the very front alongside City Lord Hu Lie were Li Muyang’s parents, as well as Ning Wan’er’s parents.

The fallen Ning family, along with the newly risen Li family, were truly in the spotlight this time.

Two Direct Disciples!

Continuous congratulatory voices came from the crowd, each person’s face adorned with a sycophantic smile.

Even Li Muyang’s parents felt somewhat awkward and nervous before him.

Li Damu, who came from a martial background and was known for his rudeness, made Li Muyang worry that this homecoming would be awkward, hard to get along with his parents.

He couldn’t fake a display of filial piety with two virtual strangers.

However, when they actually met, he found that Li Damu, the original body’s father, was so nervous in his presence that his hands were shaking.

Before his son, who had left home but was now a distinguished Direct Disciple of the Demon Sect, Li Damu nearly misspoke his first words of greeting.

“Li Da…uh…Muyang…”

Li Damu even thought of addressing his own son reverently as “My Lord.”

This unsophisticated and crude martial man instinctively felt fear toward the great figures of the Demon Sect, even if this person was his son.

If it were not for his wife quietly tugging at his sleeve next to him, the martial man might have committed the farce of calling his son “my lord” in public.

Amidst the crowd’s surrounding cheers and continuous laughter, Li Damu and his wife were all smiles, extremely happy.

But seeing his parents’ cautious and prudent demeanor, Li Muyang silently reflected.

He sighed inwardly.

These two still did not know that the son they cherished had long since died…
