Chapter 330 Miss Long Nu Wants to Give Praise
As Li Muyang once again entered the game, the familiar bodily sensations swiftly resurfaced.
He regained control of the Flood Dragon’s body, flying above the clouds.
Sensing his return, Yaoyue Jiao was overjoyed.
“Li Muyang! You’re back!”
The Dragon Lady’s voice brimmed with excitement and jubilation.
Li Muyang was somewhat surprised, “Why are you so happy? Did you find a treasure?”
He habitually opened the character interface first and saw that Yaoyue Jiao’s physical condition was normal.
Just that the fatigue meter was maxed out.
At this moment, Li Muyang clearly felt an intense sense of weariness spreading through the Flood Dragon’s meridians and flesh.
It was like a mortal who had sprinted two thousand meters in one go, with a burning sensation in the lungs.
This was the first time Li Muyang had seen Yaoyue Jiao so exhausted.
Out of curiosity, he asked, “What did you do? Why did you tire yourself out like this?”
But he heard Yaoyue Jiao’s voice, giggling, “I went to prey on those evil creatures in the North Land! In just a day and a night, I completely cleared all the evil creatures from the counties of the North Land.”
“Racing and darting along the way… How about that? I’m fast, right?”
Yaoyue Jiao’s voice was filled with fatigue, as well as an impatient excitement.
It seemed she was happily waiting for Li Muyang to praise her, acting like a child eager for approval.
But when Li Muyang checked the quest log, he saw that the creatures far away from the Jade Water River had indeed been cleared by her.
Even the creatures in the Jade Water River area, she had also cleared quite a few.
It was clear that the Dragon Palace’s shrimp soldiers and Crab General could not keep up with the speed of this Dragon Lady deity, so she had personally taken to the field, aiming to eradicate the evil with the fastest speed possible.
Seeing the Dragon Lady’s earnest efforts, Li Muyang did not skimp on his praise, genuinely impressed, “Then you truly are amazing.”
There were six days and seventeen hours left before Yaoyue Jiao would be consumed by the land.
But Yaoyue Jiao had already cleared all the evil creatures of the North Land counties, now her experience bar had risen to LV9 (73%).
Within the Dragon Palace, there was a pile of evil creatures captured by the shrimp soldiers and the Crab General, awaiting Li Muyang’s return to devour them.
However, even if he devoured those creatures in the Dragon Palace, it probably wouldn’t be enough to level up to LV10.
Li Muyang was somewhat regretful, thinking his strength could have advanced further.
But a cultivation level of LV9 should be enough.
If that wasn’t sufficient, he could always perform a ritual and use the Blood Nightmare Technique to provide remote support.
Li Muyang rode the clouds swiftly towards Star Moon Lake and soon plunged into its waters.
The vast Star Moon Lake was turbulent, pulsing with energy from the lively water veins.
With the three evil dens in the lake eliminated and the Dragon Palace established at the lakebed, the power of the water veins became stronger, and the creatures in the lake visibly flourished and multiplied.
Inside the bustling Dragon Palace at the Jade Water River, Li Muyang transformed into human form and entered the grand hall of the Dragon Palace.
He then saw the grand hall filled with iron cages, with one evil creature after another trapped inside the iron cages of the Dragon Palace. Under the suppression of the abundant power from the water veins here, all these creatures were lethargic and barely alive.
The shrimp soldiers and Crab General saluted Li Muyang, but he reverted to his original form with a roar.
The iron cages arranged inside the grand hall opened one by one, and creatures enveloped in evil qi were dragged by the furious water currents toward the wide-open mouth of the luminous white dragon.
One by one, the evil creatures were swallowed by Li Muyang.
After he ate all the creatures in the cages, Li Muyang transformed back into human form and frowned as he looked ahead.
Among the cages meant for confining evil creatures, there was a human woman lying unconscious.
She was dressed in light black plain clothes, somewhat similar to a Daoist robe, and she carried a strange black sword on her back.
Despite being human, she was imprisoned alongside the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and the followers of the sinister sect.
Such a scene was somewhat odd.
Li Muyang finally turned to the Crab General beside him and asked, “Who is this person, and why was she captured?”
Li Muyang had the power of life and death over these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and they dared not defy his order to refrain from bullying mortals; they certainly would not dare to arbitrarily capture a mortal woman.
The woman imprisoned in the cage definitely had some peculiarities.

The Crab General bowed and replied.
“Reporting to the Dragon Lord, this person is not an ordinary woman, but a member of an evil cult possessing some kind of wicked magic.”
“While capturing a malevolent creature, we stumbled upon this woman impersonating the name of the Glass Immortal Maiden, swindling in the towns.”
“She collected the hair of mortals and then fed it to a strange cloth pouch, which seemed to contain a malevolent creature; we did not dare to examine it rashly.”
Having said this, the Crab General cautiously produced a sachet sealed in a box.
Seeing the familiar sachet and hearing what the Crab General had said, Li Muyang instantly understood the origins of the woman in the cage.
“Another person from the Evil Cult…”
Li Muyang furrowed his brows slightly, puzzled, not understanding why all these witches of the Evil Cult were impersonating the Glass Immortal Maiden.
Shen Tujing, the senior fellow disciple of the Glass Immortal Maiden, also said that he had killed several evildoers in the North Land who had used the name of the Glass Immortal Maiden.
These witches from the Evil Cult impersonated the name of the Glass Immortal Maiden to boast and swindle the lifespans of mortals, to feed the “White Bone Great Master” inside the sachet.
Looking at the woman in the cage, who was completely unconscious and seemingly unaware of what was happening around her, Li Muyang was somewhat curious.
“How did you capture this woman?”
The last time he encountered a witch from the Evil Cult, she was powerfully insane and bizarre, and Li Muyang had had to greet her with heavenly thunder.
The power of the witch before him was much weaker, but she must have been difficult to capture; how did these shrimp soldiers and crab generals manage to catch her completely intact?
Li Muyang was very curious.
And the Crab General said naively, “Reporting to the Dragon Lord, we chased her and fought her, and like a madwoman, she desperately resisted. But we kept on the attack, pursuing and beating her for half an hour.”
“After half an hour, the woman suddenly lost her strength and passed out, motionless.”
“After we captured her, she slept for about five hours, then suddenly had a fit in the cage. But she couldn’t break the cage, and after yelling and crashing about for another half an hour, she fell unconscious again.”
The Crab General’s narration left Li Muyang astonished.
Could these witches actually be rechargeable robots?
Once they overused their high power and their energy was depleted, they would simply collapse?
And then they had to be recharged before they could recover?
But then he heard the Crab General say, “It has been five hours since the woman last fell asleep, she might be waking up again soon.”
No sooner had the Crab General spoken than the woman in the cage seemed to respond to the call.
The previously flat, sleeping witch suddenly leaped up as if electrified.
“Let me out! Let me out!”
The witch roared in anger, drew the black sword from her back, and began to hack frenziedly, attempting to break open the dragon palace’s prison.
As she howled and raged madly, an eerie and malevolent aura wafted through the dragon palace but was quickly purified and suppressed by the abundant power of the water veins present here.
Li Muyang looked at the witch in astonishment, but then the imprisoned witch also suddenly turned to look at him.
The moment their eyes met, the woman in the cage suddenly burst into maniacal ecstasy.
“An Ascendant! It’s an Ascendant!”
