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

A chill wind rustled through the forest path as Li Muyang slightly furrowed his brow.

The ability to foresee the future existed only in legends.

In this Dharma-Ending Age, even the Purple Mansion Realm was the pinnacle of the Cultivation World, with immortals completely gone, he did not believe that Lord Yangshou had the power to predict the future.

But if it was not the art of foresight, could it be that the other party had sent someone to monitor his movements? That’s how they managed to intercept him here?

He saw two paper dolls smiling brilliantly, grinning as they said, “Reporting to Lady Dragon, we two have been waiting here for Lady Dragon for many days.”

“Lord Yangshou said that Lady Dragon would leave the pass sooner or later and asked us to wait here for her.”

The responses from the two paper dolls unraveled his confusion.

Li Muyang was silent without a word.

This answer left him somewhat speechless.

That Lord Yangshou had actually sent two paper dolls to stand guard here all this time?

Paper dolls aren’t human, so they can be exploited at will, right?

After pondering for a short while, Li Muyang shook his head, “I still have matters to attend to, after I’m done here, I’ll visit Lord Yangshou.”

Although he could have agreed directly, Li Muyang wanted to see how the two paper dolls would react to his refusal.

He saw the paper dolls on both sides of the road smile splendidly, bowing and saying, “Then I shall truthfully report back to Lord Yangshou. He resides atop Yangshou Mountain, awaiting the honored visit of Lady Dragon.”

Having said that, the two sinister-looking paper dolls cheerfully floated away.

They left so decisively, Li Muyang’s refusal did not provoke an attack from the paper dolls.

As he watched the backs of the two departing paper dolls, the voice of the Dragon Maiden echoed in his ears.

“…Li Muyang, this Lord Yangshou doesn’t seem like a good person…”

The two eerie paper dolls bore a malevolent air, inducing a visceral discomfort.

Even Lord Yangshou who controlled them was disliked by the Dragon Maiden.

But Li Muyang shook his head, saying, “We’ll have to meet it sooner or later, Lord Yangshou has clues to the Dragon Spine Sword, and we need that sword.”

The Immortal Sword forged from the spine of an ancient true dragon would surely be extraordinarily powerful.

Moreover, it was a special task from the system, refining it would definitely have great benefits.

This Dragon Spine Sword must be an extremely important system item in the entire game.

But for Li Muyang, the most pressing issue right now was to solve the life-and-death crisis.

He didn’t intend to seek out Lord Yangshou just yet.

Previously, when chatting with Chu Qingxue in the lakeside pavilion, he had heard about some situations beyond the pass and had a general understanding of the forces there.

This Lord Yangshou seemed to have lived for many years.

This was the second long-lived being in today’s world after the True Man of Green Leaves.

God knows what this guy was about; it was better to meet him later.

After declining the invitation of the two paper dolls, Li Muyang carried the soul of the weasel and continued on the path ahead.

The unlucky weasel’s dwelling mountain was not far from the pass; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so unlucky to be chosen by two wandering spirits to be forced into the border.

Li Muyang asked for directions and soon found the mountain the weasel had mentioned.

A small mountain covered with pine trees, dense with needles.

There was some miasmic demonic qi in the mountain, identical to that of the weasel.

At the foot of the mountain, there was even a small decrepit temple dedicated to the unfortunate weasel.

Li Muyang came to the outside of the temple, released the weasel’s soul, and the bewildered weasel’s ghost floated in the air for a round, seemingly regaining a bit of wisdom.

It floated around joyfully for quite a while before finally kneeling before Li Muyang, kowtowing several times like a human.

“Many thanks to the Dragon Goddess for allowing this little demon’s soul to return to its homeland…”

The weasel spirit smiled happily, then cried again, “Such a benevolent deity as the Dragon Goddess will no longer be found in the North Land.”

As the weasel spirit wept, it transformed into a wisp of light smoke within its humble temple and dissipated into the earth as if becoming one with the land.

And as the soul of the weasel spirit vanished, the mud statue of the weasel in the dilapidated temple also suddenly cracked open.

Watching this scene, Li Muyang felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.

The weasel’s reverence for him stemmed from him slaying an evil entity.

It was just a pity that Li Muyang was unable to help the weasel spirit more.

After sighing several times outside the ruined temple, Li Muyang turned and left.

He was off to search for Buddha Mother Temple.

For Li Muyang, Buddha Mother Temple was an essential place to visit on his journey beyond the Great Wall.

The malicious women sent into the inner lands by Buddha Mother Temple each wielded a White Bone Tai Sui, consuming which could grant a great amount of experience points.

So, could there be even more White Bone Tai Sui within the gates of Buddha Mother Temple?

By this time, Li Muyang’s Incense Fire Temples had spread throughout the counties of the North Land beyond the Great Wall, and the number of incense offerings had reached an astonishing total of over one million eight hundred thousand.

The thunder of 1000 incense offerings at a time was enough to thoroughly decimate the entire Buddha Mother Temple.

Li Muyang left the temple of the Great Immortal Weasel and headed towards the direction of Buddha Mother Temple.

According to Chu Qingxue, Buddha Mother Temple was a peculiar temple located on Black Stone Mountain.

Buddha Mother Temple rarely appeared before people, shrouded in mystery.

In the lands beyond the wall, the most frequently encountered and renowned were the roaming families of immortals.

Li Muyang traveled along the main road unhindered, not riding the clouds or controlling the fog, yet moving through the forests alone at an astonishing speed.

He occasionally sensed the presence of demon beasts in the forests, but Li Muyang did not engage them.

These creatures could only emerge from their dens in confusion and watch as Li Muyang’s figure rapidly disappeared into the distance.

Some of the creatures who slept heavily and had a weak sense of perception didn’t even notice that someone had passed through their territory.

Li Muyang sprinted wildly through the forests for an entire afternoon until the night fell deep and the moon shone brightly. Only then did he finally catch sight of the outline of Black Stone Mountain.

Black Stone Mountain was an unusual stone mountain with almost no soil, but rather a single massive boulder of pitch blackness.

However, this giant stone stood hundreds of feet tall, spanning the horizon together with the surrounding peaks.

Due to its distinctive appearance, Black Stone Mountain was immensely conspicuous and could be seen from afar.

Even someone visiting for the first time like Li Muyang could not mistake the way.

Yet upon arriving at the base of Black Stone Mountain, Li Muyang did not rush to ascend.

He stood among the forests far below, gazing at the scenery atop the mountain from a distance.

On the rugged Black Stone Mountain, filled with grotesque rocks, many pine trees grew in the crevices of the stones.

The appearance of this stony mountain adorned with pine trees was somewhat reminiscent of Mount Huangshan in his former world.

Except that this mountain, where Buddha Mother Temple was located, was suffused with a strong sense of cold and gloom.

That sense, contrary to the essence of evil spirits, chilled Li Muyang to the bone, making him feel utterly unfamiliar yet vaguely familiar all at once.

It seemed that somewhere he had encountered something similar.

And this essence had the same source as the malicious women who had impersonated Chu Qingxue within the inner lands.

Only, the essence atop Black Stone Mountain was much stronger and denser.

It was as if the pitch-black mountain was filled with thousands and thousands of those malicious women…

The Dragon Goddess said with uncertainty, “Li Muyang, Black Stone Mountain is so terrifying, why on earth would there be mortals living at its foot!”
