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

The anomalies of the specters are most likely related to the arrival of Miao Fengjun.

Although the reason is unknown, the villagers all say that wherever Miao Fengjun goes, evil spirits disappear.

Now that Miao Fengjun has arrived here, the specters in this place are stiff and motionless, caught in a state of terror and fear.

These two occurrences must be connected.

Seeing that it will be dark soon, Li Muyang turns around and leaves, continuing his search for specters in the city.

There are a total of six red dots on the map, indicating a considerable number of specters in this city.

However, as Li Muyang followed the mission arrow and searched one by one, he found that the specters were either stiff and immobile or lying on sickbeds, weak and entwined with illness.

Four of the specters transformed into domestic pets in the city, while two disguised themselves as humans, hiding among the crowd.

Li Muyang found them, and one by one, he eliminated them.

When night fell and the brightly lit city fell silent, Li Muyang had cleared all the malevolent creatures, resting in the courtyard where the last specter was killed.

This specter was disguised as a solitary man, who, when found by Li Muyang, was paralyzed at the edge of the well, stiff and motionless.

There was no family to support or take care of him; it was unknown how long he had been paralyzed there.

Li Muyang, with practiced ease, eradicated it, clearing all the specters from the area.

[Current Progress: 10/61]

Looking at the empty residence before him, Li Muyang decided to stay overnight and find a driver the next day to head to the next destination.

However, just as Li Muyang was about to activate the offline function, there suddenly came a knock at the door.

Knock, knock, knock…

The calm, rhythmic knocking was piercingly eerie in the dark night.

Li Muyang, who was about to log off, was startled.

Someone knocking at this hour?!

In the ancient times after nightfall at the Ancient Resentment Well, everyone should be asleep!

Apart from the Evil Gods and malevolent creatures, no one should be wandering outside.

But if it were evil spirits or monsters, they wouldn’t knock on the door so politely.

Li Muyang frowned and hesitated for a moment, ultimately controlling the Princess of the Defunct Country to go and open the door.

As the courtyard door was opened by the Princess of the Defunct Country, a headless monk holding a tin staff in his left hand and a head in his right hand appeared outside.

Upon seeing Miao Fengjun, Li Muyang’s pupils contracted slightly, but apart from that, there was no other intense reaction.

Because he had guessed that the person who would appear at the door at this time was most likely Miao Fengjun.

Frowning and speculating on the purpose of Miao Fengjun’s visit, Li Muyang watched him coldly, remaining silent.

The headless Miao Fengjun then entered naturally, holding the head which was revealing a smile, while a voice came from the headless body.

“Good indeed, good indeed… This benefactor is courteous. I am Liao Kong, and I have seen the benefactor.”

The head being held, which had not been shaved like a monk’s typically would be, and the person had not presented himself as a monk before, but now at the Ancient Resentment Well, Miao Fengjun donned a monk’s robe, referring to himself as a monk.

Li Muyang frowned as he watched the headless creature enter, and said, “What brings Liao Kong Saint Monk to my place?”

Miao Fengjun’s head smiled slightly, and the voice from the headless body said, “I saw the benefactor far away at the city gate at dusk and felt a certain kinship, so I came to pay a visit specifically.”

“I didn’t expect the benefactor to have cleared the city of specters, slaying evil spirits, and safeguarding the populace, truly an immeasurable merit.”

Miao Fengjun said with a smile, “The Nightwalker clan has produced an outstanding youth indeed.”

Miao Fengjun appeared kind and compassionate with friendly and gentle demeanor, representing the image of a high-ranking monk who has attained the Tao.

Had Li Muyang not been aware of this guy’s true nature, there’s a high probability that he would have been duped by him.

He didn’t understand why Miao Fengjun was playing COSPLAY here, pretending to be some high-ranking monk who has attained the Tao.

But since Miao Fengjun had not recognized his true identity, Li Muyang also pretended to know nothing and played along, asking.

“Does the Saint Monk know about the Nightwalker clan?” Li Muyang was somewhat curious.

This old demon head had only recently revived, and yet he even knew about the Nightwalker clan, which was extremely mysterious and rare in the Ancient Resentment Well?

To know that in the Red Mountain Academic Palace, there is very little recorded about the Nightwalker clan.

This is a very special and mysterious branch among the Evil Vein clans within the Ancient Resentment Well.

Although the Nightwalker clan is the protagonist of this game, they lack family heritage, and Li Muyang knew very little about the Nightwalker clan.

But then he saw Miao Fengjun nodding with a smile, saying, “I have heard of some mysterious legends about the Nightwalker clan, and it is indeed an honor to meet them in person this time.”

After Miao Fengjun finished, he changed the subject and said, “Junior has inherited the tradition of Red Mountain Academic Palace, carries the Amulet of Jiang Family, and also has the special identity of a Nightwalker. You are truly a chosen one with a promising future, in addition to being virtuous and noble, slaying Evil Spirits without taking Silver Coin, far surpassing those worldly Puppet Masters from Black Feather Pavilion.”

“This modest monk is willing to offer all I have to assist you in going further on the path of a Puppet Master.”

Miao Fengjun said with a smile, “With your bloodline and mentorship, if you receive a little more assistance, the future is boundless indeed.”

This old demon head, with a smile on his face and beguiling words.

After pondering for a moment, Li Muyang asked, “For the Saint Monk to offer such assistance, what does the junior need to do in return?”

Miao Fengjun responded with a smile, “The junior must be joking. The poor monk’s help comes from a heart of sincere honesty, seeking nothing in return.”

How is this any different from “pies falling from the sky”?

Even if the person in front of him were truly a virtuous and high-ranking monk, Li Muyang might not believe it.

Let alone the fact that he is fully aware of Miao Fengjun’s true identity as a Demon Cultivator.

To accept help from such an Ancient Evil and expect to pay no price in return?

Li Muyang shook his head: “Thank you for your kindness, Holy Monk, but as the junior is lacking in talent and learning, I need to focus on deepening my knowledge and studies, and do not require the assistance of the Holy Monk for the time being.”

“If there is an opportunity in the future, I will come to visit the Holy Monk.”

Li Muyang refused earnestly and decisively.

Isn’t it all just an act?

Even though he isn’t an actor, having been mixed up in the deception of the Cultivation World for so long, he has learned a bit of the needed skills.

Li Muyang even refused without listening to how Miao Fengjun planned on assisting him, declining directly.

In the face of such a straightforward rejection, Miao Fengjun just smiled and stood up, saying: “If that is the case, then this modest monk will not impose any further.”

After finishing his words, Miao Fengjun, this fake monk, actually left decisively, without further disturbance or attempts at persuasion.

His quick departure, however, made Li Muyang’s brows furrow.

What is this guy Miao Fengjun plotting with the Nightwalker boy, Jie Zijiu, this time?

It seems this old demon head has grand designs.

And him coming to the Ancient Resentment Well to pose as a holy monk, play COSPLAY, not daring to reveal his true form loudly… is he afraid of those Ancient Evil Gods that haunt the well?

Although the revived Miao Fengjun is powerful, he only overpowers the cultivators of this era.

The Ancient Evil Gods from within the Ancient Resentment Well, however, are opponents that can match True Immortals.

Watching the back of Miao Fengjun as he left briskly, Li Muyang narrowed his eyes, vaguely guessing what this old demon head was wary of.
