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

The standoff persisted for a full half an hour.

As time continuously slipped away, Aunt Su visibly grew more anxious.

At the cost of draining the Cloud Chariot Flying Boat, she had barely managed to shake off that group of pursuers.

Yet now, they had been delayed for half an hour in Cloud Mist Lake, and if the old fox demon was unwilling to help, all their previous efforts would have been in vain!

Anxious, Aunt Su suddenly stood up, about to urge them on.

But the old fox demon on the island seemed to know that Aunt Su’s patience was reaching its limit.

The old fox demon’s voice came at just the right moment.

She chuckled, “Sorry for the long wait, honored guests.”

“I had just projected my spirit far away to probe the demon. In doing so, I lost an external incarnation… However, the good news is, I have finally come to a decision.”

The old fox demon’s voice echoed across the island, causing the three on the flying boat to become solemn.

This old fox demon had already clashed with Old Man Kuye using an external incarnation?

Li Muyang heard the old fox demon’s voice echoing in the smoke.

“My decision is… I cannot keep you all here in Cloud Mist Lake, I’m sorry.”

The old fox demon’s voice was filled with rich emotion.

The moment he heard this sentence, Li Muyang seemed to see her sincere expression of apology.

“With the geographical advantage of Cloud Mist Lake, we might be able to stop that group of demon cultivators temporarily, but my daughters would surely suffer many casualties.”

“Therefore, I cannot keep you honored guests here in Cloud Mist Lake… I’m sorry.”

The old fox demon’s apologetic dismissal, even faced with the temptation of the Heavenly Demon Illustrations remains, ultimately resulted in her choice to let go.

Disappointment immediately filled Li Muyang’s heart.

But the outcome wasn’t unexpected.

In the Demon Path, where self-interest is supreme, this was typical behavior.

That this group of demons didn’t kick them while they were down, was already due to the face given to them by the Demon Sect.

To expect them to offer help for great profits was incredibly difficult.

Just as the Cloud Chariot Flying Boat once again emitted a dazzling purple brilliance and Aunt Su was about to lead everyone away, the old fox demon’s voice sounded once more.

“However, although I cannot keep you honored guests, I am willing to step in and intercept the demon cultivators of the Green Sheep Society, gaining at least one day of delay for you honored guests.”

“That is roughly the limit of what Cloud Mist Lake can do…”

As the old fox demon’s voice sounded, Aunt Su on the flying boat sighed deeply.

Delaying by one day was still not enough for them.

That amount of time wasn’t enough for the young miss to come to the rescue.

But if they could delay even for a short while, then they would delay for that while…

Aunt Su sighed, saying, “Thank you for your assistance, Third Lady. After this matter is concluded, you may send someone to the Enforcement Hall. The promise of three superior-grade Spirit Pills and one superior Magic Artifact still holds.”

Although the result was less than ideal, Aunt Su could only accept it and offered the appropriate reward.

The old fox demon in Cloud Mist Lake immediately let out a laugh.

“Good! Then please, honored guests, be on your way, and leave the rest to me!”

As the old fox demon laughed, Li Muyang and the others were once again obscured by smoke.

The pavilions, terraces, towers, and beautifully picturesque island, in an instant, vanished within the smoke.

And Li Muyang and the others in the Cloud Chariot Flying Boat returned to that state of being engulfed by the smoke.

But this state lasted only briefly. Although Li Muyang felt no movement from the flying boat, the view ahead suddenly cleared of smoke.

The Cloud Chariot Flying Boat, radiating purple light, flew out of the smoke and headed for the vast land ahead.

And turning back, Li Muyang and the others saw that behind them, over Cloud Mist Lake, the strange smoke shrouding the lake suddenly expanded, its range rapidly growing bigger.

In the blink of an eye, this smoke formed a massive canopy, lying behind them.

Inside Cloud Mist Lake, the old fox demon was about to use the peculiar smoke to halt the pursuit of the Green Sheep Society.

But she was unwilling to fight to the death, at most she could only delay for a day.

Li Muyang turned to Aunt Su and asked, “What should we do next? Return to the Sect?”

Aunt Su did not speak, but the Cloud Chariot Flying Boat, bursting with brilliant purple light, flew straight in the direction of the Refinement Demon Sect’s mountain gate.

With her actions, she answered Li Muyang’s question.

Once again, Aunt Su drove the Cloud Chariot Flying Boat at full speed.

The flying boat, shrouded in dazzling purple light, streaked across the sky at tremendous speed.

However, the cracks and crevices on the surface of the flying boat were visibly increasing.

Flying at such a high load was greatly damaging the Cloud Chariot Flying Boat.

If this trend continued, perhaps the flying boat Li Muyang and the others were riding in would disintegrate before Old Master Kuleaf even caught up to them.

In the cabin of the flying boat, Li Yuechan, having left under the pretext of explaining the latest situation to her aunt and uncle, immediately asked with anxiety after she was out of sight of Li Muyang and Aunt Su.

“Teacher, do you have any way to resolve this crisis?”

At this critical juncture, she sought help from her teacher once again.

But the voice of the mysterious woman was filled with helplessness.

“I told you before not to stay and die alongside your brother, but you just wouldn’t listen.”

“Teacher, I’m but a mere wisp of a remnant soul, how could I have the means to save you.”

“You really should have listened to your brother and fled separately with Ning Wan’er.”

“Then, you would have been safe by now.”

The mysterious woman was both irritated and helpless.

She was angry with her disciple’s choice.

Yet such a devoted disciple was indeed the one she had chosen herself.

When she chose this young girl as a disciple, it was because she saw her righteousness and loyalty, and knew she wouldn’t betray her.

Yet she had never imagined that her painstakingly nurtured disciple, before even rising to power, would die at the hands of a group of minor Spirit Travel Realm demon cultivators.

The mysterious woman said helplessly, “You can only pray that your brother can pull out a stronger trump card at the critical moment.”

The legacy of the ancient demonic veins was absolutely ferocious and terrifying.

When Li Muyang had taught the Remnant Cloud Movement Technique to Li Yuechan, the mysterious woman confirmed this young man was a descendant of the demonic veins.

Although, with his Core Formation Realm cultivation, the idea of contending against the Spirit Travel Realm would be a fool’s dream…

Inside the cabin, the plainly human couple, Li Damu and his wife, were completely panicked.

Upon hearing the situation described by Li Yuechan, the couple immediately became frantic.

“Are we certain to die? What do we do now?”

Li Damu’s wife, Mrs. Liu, stood up anxiously, pacing back and forth in the room.

The simple-minded Li Damu scratched his head vigorously but was unable to utter a word.

Seeing her husband like this, Mrs. Liu grew even more desperate, smacking Li Damu hard.

“It’s all your fault! You insisted on bringing Yang’er back home!”

“Now look what’s happened! Yang’er is going to be killed because of you!”

Mrs. Liu said, as tears fell in large drops.

She pinched Li Damu while wiping her tears, crying so hard that she turned into a tearful mess.

“I said it long ago, that Yang’er was doing well as a Direct Disciple in the Sect and as long as he was happy, there was no need to call him back.”

“But you had to insist on bringing him back, talking about ‘returning home in glory’… It was all because you, this clod, wanted to show off!”

“Now that you’ve had your moment of glory, you’re going to get my Yang’er killed! Wuu…”

The woman cried as she pinched Li Damu, sobbing loudly.

In her eyes lay a mixture of grief, despair, and regret.

She seemed to regret not stopping her husband’s foolishness back then.
