Chapter 338 Bro, Come to My Room
In the quiet room, Li Muyang opened his eyes.
The familiar anti-addiction system went online again and kicked him out of the game immediately.
Smelling the fragrant air, Li Muyang let out a gentle sigh of relief.
“… I thought there was no anti-addiction in the third phase,”
But the anti-addiction system was as punctual as always, it never arrived late.
When the time came, it forcibly removed him from the game.
Recalling the situation in the mist, Li Muyang shook his head and said, “I hope she can hold on.”
As the black-robed Bodhisattva had mentioned, dragon scales counter the heart-eating worm’s blue flames.
The Flood Dragon was indeed the natural enemy of these bizarre giant insects.
When encountering the heart-eating worms, aside from suffering unbearable pain from the blue flames, the Flood Dragon would hardly sustain any other injuries.
However, the pain of being roasted by the blue flames was extremely uncomfortable. Li Muyang admitted his own abilities were not lacking, but after every monster hunt, he needed to rest for quite some time and prepare himself mentally before he had the courage to lure and capture another monster.
One could only hope that the Flood Dragon could be strong and fearless of pain.
In the past night, Li Muyang had roamed the mist for several hours, using chunks of White Bone Titan’s meat as bait to capture and kill six monsters.
During this process, he discovered that the strength of the monsters that appeared was related to the thickness of the Titan meat slices he cut.
The thicker the slices of Titan meat, the stronger the attracted monsters.
And the stronger the monsters, the thicker their health bars, the more heart-eating worms wriggled on them, the greater the power of their blue flames, and the stronger the pain of being burned.
This time he had been logged out; a day and a night had passed, and it was unknown how many monsters the Flood Dragon had defeated.
Thinking about the situation in the game, Li Muyang got up and walked out of the room.
He had been struggling in the game for a day and a night, and in reality, a day and a night had also passed.
It was now full of stars outside, right at the time of nightfall.
The Flying Boat, covered with flowers and grass on the deck, was swiftly flying under the bright moonlight, continuously heading towards the direction of Refinement Demon Sect’s gate.
On this Flying Boat existed a little secret realm where various landscapes could be evolved inside.
The parents of Li Muyang, as well as the parents of Ning Wan’er, were currently residing inside this little secret realm.
This little realm had some defensive capabilities and was relatively safe to reside in, also preventing the possibility of being caught by the pursuing Corpse Immortal and other Demon Cultivators to be taken as hostages.
Although with the abilities of the Corpse Immortal and others, if they were to catch up, hostages would likely not be needed…
Li Muyang walked out of the room and saw a figure standing quietly on the deck.
It was the maid of Yan Xiaoru, Aunt Su, the most powerful cultivator on this Flying Boat currently.
Aunt Su stood under the moonlight, quietly watching the surroundings, guarding against possible attacks.
The younger sister Li Yuechan and Ning Wan’er were accompanying Aunt Su, chatting about something.
When Li Muyang walked out of the room, Ning Wan’er spoke up.
“Muyang, the latest news is that inside Tianjiao City, there have been traces of activities detected from Green Sheep Society’s Demon Cultivators…”
Although the Corpse Immortal was not seen, the presence of traces of Green Sheep Society already conveyed some information.
The Corpse Immortal must have truly made an attack and was misled by the false information released by Li Muyang and the others, directing him towards Tianjiao City.
Hearing this, Li Muyang heaved a sigh of relief.
“If the Corpse Immortal has gone to Tianjiao City, it will be very difficult for him to catch up with us.”

Although it wouldn’t be wise to start celebrating prematurely, theoretically, this news indeed meant they were safe.
They had fled in advance and had confused the Corpse Immortal with false information, leading him in the wrong direction.
By this time, even if the elderly man of withered leaves had guessed the direction of Li Muyang and the others’ escape, and had pursued them along the way, it would have been very difficult for him to catch up with this Flying Boat.
He stood on the deck, listening to Ning Wan’er’s narrative, and they chatted for a while longer.
Later, as they dispersed, Li Muyang was about to return to his cabin to rest when his step-sister, Li Yuechan, caught up with him and called him aside alone.
“Brother, wait a moment, I have something I want to tell you…”
The girl under the moonlight hesitated as if she faced some difficulty.
Li Muyang looked at her in surprise but did not refuse, instead, he nodded.
“Shall we talk here?”
“Er… let’s go to my room,” Li Yuechan led Li Muyang into the Flying Boat, to her assigned small cabin.
This small cabin was somewhat cramped, originally meant for maids and servants to sleep in.
But Li Yuechan had given up her spacious cabin for the couple accompanying them, Li Damu and his wife, so Li Yuechan ended up living in this small cabin.
Li Muyang stepped into the cabin and looked around the small room with interest.
Li Yuechan seemed nervous, rubbing her hands together as if the words she was about to say were difficult to utter.
Li Muyang curiously looked at her and said, “What is so hot about these words? Being coy isn’t like you.”
“Don’t tell me you are the so-called Successor to the Corpse-Resolving Immortal, huh…”
He was aware that his step-sister was somewhat unusual.
He had also suspected that this step-sister might be the successor of the Corpse Immortal.
But recalling that when Li Yuechan first entered the outer gate, she was nearly killed by the residual effects of a battle with Direct Disciple Qin Haie… Li Muyang dismissed this suspicion.
Although he did not know who the Corpse Immortal was, the title itself was quite intimidating.
If Li Yuechan truly were a successor of the Corpse Immortal, how could she have been driven to a deadly situation by a Direct Disciple?
If it hadn’t been for him spending all his fortune, plus the substantial help from his friend Guan Xiaoshun, this step-sister might have indeed died.
—Would a rightful successor of the Corpse Immortal lack such presence?
Li Muyang didn’t believe his step-sister was the heir to the Corpse Immortal, but it didn’t stop him from teasing her.
His teasing tone made the girl give a bitter smile.
Finally, she regained her usual mischievous spirit.
She shook her head and said, “If I were a successor of the Corpse Immortal, I wouldn’t stay at the Refinement Demon Sect, I’d have long gone out to enjoy my freedom.”
After saying this, she looked at Li Muyang again.
As their eyes met, the girl couldn’t help but sigh again, speaking with a headache and helplessness.
“Brother, this time uncle and auntie are escaping with us… have you thought about how to settle them?”
“Our family is targeted by the Green Sheep Society, uncle and auntie can’t possibly return to Jiuyuan City anymore, can they…”
As the girl spoke, she carefully observed Li Muyang’s expression.
Clearly, parents were a sensitive topic for Li Muyang.
Ever since he had stormed out of the house, Li Muyang’s attitude towards his parents had been very cold, even during this trip back home.
So much so that when Li Damu and his wife saw their son, they even became somewhat tongue-tied, barely daring to speak more than a few words.
Li Yuechan’s mention of this topic at this time made her look somewhat anxious.
But upon hearing this question, Li Muyang merely arched his eyebrows slightly and did not get angry.
After thinking for a bit, he did not respond but instead threw the question back to his step-sister in front of him.
“Yuechan, do you have any ideas?”
