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

“In big brother’s eyes, am I just a sister, or… a woman?”

Little Wild Grass’s quiet inquiry slightly startled Li Muyang.

He looked at the maiden before him in amazement and said, “What do you really want to say?”

Had this little girl, who had been evading for twenty years, finally figured it out?

Sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, scattering delightful speckled lights over them both.

Little Wild Grass sat under the tree and stared at Li Muyang for a long time before taking a deep breath.

She sat back in her original spot, restoring the distance between her and Li Muyang.

The siblings still looked at each other, but the atmosphere had relaxed quite a bit.

Little Wild Grass started softly, “Actually, I wanted to ask two months ago.”

“Maybe even earlier, I wanted to ask, but I never had the courage.”

Little Wild Grass gazed at Li Muyang thoughtfully and said, “In big brother’s eyes, what role do I play?”

“Am I family? A sister? Or…”

Little Wild Grass looked intently into Li Muyang’s soul, trying to find an answer, “In big brother’s heart, have you ever seen me as a woman?”

“Over the many years of living and working together, I occasionally felt big brother’s gaze on me.”

“But among those looks, romantic feelings were rare; despite being in the presence of such a charming and beautiful woman, big brother seemed uninterested.”

“Sometimes I even wondered if big brother was emotionless. The way you make me feel is always so elusive, so ethereal.”

“Although you’ve raised and cared for me since I was young, that care feels like big brother’s casual action, without personal attachment. It’s like picking up a little cat or saving a little bird by the roadside.”

“Big brother is always so open-hearted, always so optimistic, as if nothing in this world really matters to you.”

“When you see something interesting and beautiful, you just smile faintly.”

“When you see vile and brutal villains, you don’t become furious; you just calmly critique them. Even when punishing evil, big brother, you show little joy.”

“It’s as if everything should be done this way, so you do it, without mixing in personal feelings.”

“You’re like a high and mighty deity, taking interest in observing the human world, yet you never immerse yourself in it.”

“Often, big brother seems to be by my side, but I always feel that you are very far from me, as distant as if in another world, another time.”

“We don’t seem to be people of the same world; although we’re physically close, we seem oh so far apart…”

Little Wild Grass’s eyes darkened with melancholy, and her voice dripped with sorrow.

Upon hearing these words, Li Muyang sighed inwardly—truly a genius in cultivation and talent.

You little girl, you actually got it right!

Indeed, I am far from you, and not in the same dimension.

Indeed, for most of the twenty-odd years we’ve been together, most of that time was fast-forwarded through my eyes.

As for it seeming like I overlook everything… you’re not wrong there either.

The perspective of a game player is indeed a godlike view, looking down on the ongoing drama in the game from a detached perspective.

Although emotions like being moved or saddened arise after immersing in the storyline,

they are merely temporary identifications.

Not to mention that Little Wild Grass is a celestial maiden from ten thousand years ago, destined to die in a dark catastrophe.

Li Muyang had been subconsciously restraining his emotions toward Little Wild Grass, not wanting to invest too much in her.

Lest he become overly attached to the main female character he nurtured, and once the game was over, unable to meet her again, knowing she had died ten thousand years ago…

Little Wild Grass was different from Biting Moon Jiao and Glass Immortal Maiden.

Once the game was beaten, the two of them were destined never to meet again.

Thinking of this, Li Muyang sighed and said, “Actually, in my eyes, you are quite beautiful—a breathtaking beauty indeed.”

“But you and I tread different paths, one of immortals, and the other mortals. I am destined to die early, while you will live a long life after my death.”

“So, I never entertained that kind of thought.”

Li Muyang tactfully explained, “However, if you think it’s okay, it’s not impossible.”

Could it be necessary to marry and fall in love with Little Wild Grass in order to beat the game?

The plot of stage five hadn’t yet entered the main storyline, which puzzled Li Muyang.

He tentatively tried other paths.

But upon hearing his words, Little Wild Grass just rolled her eyes.

After listening to Li Muyang’s sentiments, Little Wild Grass also sighed.

She shook her head and said, “Even if you want to marry me now, I wouldn’t agree.”

The previously embarrassed Little Wild Grass, whose feelings had been exposed, was finally able to face the situation and her own feelings calmly.

She was no longer embarrassed but spoke openly with Li Muyang about this matter.

“I’ve figured it out over these two months,” she said.

“Although your indecisiveness makes me anxious…”

“Even if you were infatuated with me, I probably wouldn’t agree,” she said.

Little Wild Grass said this, then lightly sniffed and continued, “Big brother is of the cursed vein, destined neither to cultivate nor to achieve immortality.”

“If our relationship were to progress further, and I lived happily in love with big brother for a hundred years, only for big brother to die, leaving me alone for the countless years thereafter… I would surely go mad.”

Little Wild Grass shook her head and said, “It’s better as it is now, you and I ambiguously muddling through together.”

“Besides, big brother is so aloof and uninterested in women. Even if you stayed by my side as my lifelong widower, big brother wouldn’t mind.”

“And I would justifiably accept big brother’s care and attention until you grew old, and I saw you off to the end.”

“That’s quite good,” she said.

Little Wild Grass spoke indifferently.

Li Muyang chuckled and said, “After all, at most two hundred years after I die, you will have to die too. Even if you missed me, it wouldn’t torture you for too long… right?”

Under the shade of the tree, Little Wild Grass’s face broke into a radiant smile as she nodded happily, “Right!”

“We are both destined to be short-lived.”

“Big brother still has decades of a good life ahead, and I have just over two hundred years left.”

“So when big brother dies, even if I’m distressed, it won’t last for too long… Suddenly, dying early doesn’t seem so scary anymore.”

Underneath the shade of the tree, Little Wild Grass’s smile was as beautiful as a flower.

The bright sunlight scattered through the forest, accompanied by the sounds of insects and birds, and the distant spread of mountains.

The scene was unexpectedly stunning.

It looked just like a finely crafted painting, deeply engraved in Li Muyang’s memory.

A sudden pang struck Li Muyang’s heart.

Thinking of such a brightly smiling woman, who would die in the forthcoming dark calamity, never to meet him again.

Li Muyang’s heart felt a faint pain.
