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

In the colorful and vibrant forest, Li Muyang lay in ambush beneath the shade of a tree as a hopping rabbit darted past him.

This rabbit, standing two zhang tall, bounced around with such force that the mountain forest trembled wherever it went.

In the next instant, a flash of cold light emerged from the tree’s shadows—Li Muyang made his move.

The rabbit, whose ears bore a blood-red eye, suddenly turned around. Its once innocent and adorable appearance swiftly transformed into something ferocious and terrifying.

A formidable blood-tinged aura of murderous energy rose from its massive frame.

Its forepaws abruptly grew razor-sharp, clawing menacingly toward Li Muyang.

However, the nimble mud figurine darted skillfully, slipping away along the giant forepaw’s trajectory, its Mud Sword shimmering brightly.

In an instant, one of the giant rabbit’s forepaws shattered into pieces, exploding into a shower of flesh and fragments.

Taken by surprise, the giant rabbit staggered back in panic, never having encountered such an odd and terrifying opponent before.

It instinctively retreated, yet the nimble mud figurine had already darted onto the rabbit’s shoulder.

In the next moment, sword light erupted, brilliant radiance weaving into a net that engulfed the rabbit.

The two-zhang-tall giant rabbit froze, and its head exploded violently, sending a gush of warm blood skyward like a fountain. Blood rain showered the colorful forest.

Li Muyang, without a moment’s hesitation, dashed away.

From the fallen rabbit’s corpse, a strand of blood aura pursued him, merging straight into Li Muyang’s body.

[Bi Fang Flame 7.3%]

[Void Sword Embryo LV6]

Glancing at the system notification, Li Muyang let out a long sigh of relief.

“Doesn’t seem that hard after all…”

He turned back for a brief look at the giant rabbit’s corpse. Though the Void Sword Embryo was weak, Li Muyang’s combat prowess far outmatched that of the beasts in the forest.

These giant beasts normally exhibited a tame demeanor, almost akin to creatures from a fairy tale kingdom.

Only when startled or attacked would the blood-red eye on their bodies activate, awakening the savagery within them and rendering them wildly ferocious and formidable.

Li Muyang had to admit that beasts in this state posed some degree of danger.

But unfortunately for them, Li Muyang never gave these beasts the chance to enter their berserk state.

With his combat skills, once he targeted an opponent, the battle would be resolved within two seconds.

The beasts would perish just as their rage transformed them.

Take, for instance, the earlier giant rabbit…

“Still, it seems like the beasts with blood-red eyes have territorial divisions here?”

Li Muyang pondered as he quickly distanced himself from the battlefield.

Although there were numerous beasts in the forest, those with blood-red eyes were rare.

Moreover, as Li Muyang killed more of these beasts, it became increasingly difficult to find any.

The blood-eyed beasts appeared able to sense some impending danger in the woods and deliberately hid themselves.

Guessing at the island’s ecology, Li Muyang continued forward.

He recalled that atop the cliff ahead lived a giant eagle, one whose blood-red eye was embedded in its beak.

Li Muyang had spent two days observing the eagle’s habits and was prepared to ambush it that night.

The sun in the sky was setting, and darkness gradually enveloped Outer Realm Island.

Li Muyang finally arrived near the cliff and glanced down at the giant eagle’s nest below before leaping down.

Nimbly maneuvering his Mud Figurine with the aid of Tunneling Light, Li Muyang landed in the eagle’s nest unscathed.

He concealed himself amidst the sturdy, curved tree trunks, waiting for the eagle to return from its hunt.

Typically, the eagle would return to its nest promptly at nightfall, seemingly blind in the darkness.

Once the eagle landed in its nest, Li Muyang planned to strike directly at its abdomen—the most vulnerable spot.

The plan was straightforward yet so flawless.

Li Muyang hid himself in the nest, patiently waiting.

Finally, the darkness fully enveloped Outer Realm Island, plunging the cliff into pitch-blackness.

Li Muyang finally heard the sound of wings slicing through the air—perhaps the giant eagle was returning.

But suddenly, scorching flames ignited beside Li Muyang and, in the blink of an eye, engulfed the entire eagle’s nest.

Seeing this, Li Muyang was completely stunned.

Fire? Where did the fire come from?!

This sudden wildfire instantly set the colossal eagle nest ablaze, its roaring flames creating immense heat and illuminating the night sky on the cliff.

Li Muyang raised his head in shock and finally saw the giant bird hovering beside the eagle’s nest.

This enormous, one-legged bird resembled a crane, yet its feathers were cyan. Strands of bright red patterns shimmered across its azure plumage, appearing as if they were imbued with life.

Its colossal eyes coldly regarded Li Muyang in the darkness.

From the massive wound on the bird’s chest emerged clusters of writhing crimson eyeballs, each scrutinizing the Mud Figurine before them.

The divine bird, Bi Fang!

This wasn’t a giant eagle at all!

No—it was the ancient divine beast Bi Fang, corrupted and mutated by the power of the Thousand-Eyed Blood God!

Li Muyang instinctively retreated, maneuvering his Mud Sword in preparation to flee.

But in the next instant, wild flames erupted within his own body.

In mere moments, the Void Sword Embryo transformed into a fireball.

The small mud figurine screamed miserably as it plummeted from the sky.

As a player, Li Muyang trembled in pain, realizing he couldn’t disconnect from the game.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!!!”

When he started the game, no one mentioned that the death experience would be replicated at 100% reality!

And it was impossible to log out!

Shaking violently from pain, Li Muyang fixed his gaze on the death notification visible in his field of view. Only after the Mud Figurine was completely reduced to ashes did he find himself forcibly ejected from the game interface, his consciousness returning to reality.

Opening his eyes, Li Muyang was greeted by the worried expressions of Liu Li Fairy Chu Qingxue and the senior brothers and sisters of the Mysterious Sword Sect.

Everyone had gathered around him, looking at him tensely.

“Li Muyang, are you okay?”

“You were acting possessed just now—none of us could bring you back!”

As for the tent overhead and the simple Array nearby, the wreckage and lingering Sword Qi made it clear that Chu Qingxue and the others had forcibly destroyed everything in a panic.

Inside the tent, Li Muyang had suddenly shouted, screamed, and wailed as if he had died—drawing everyone’s attention.

At this moment, Li Muyang glanced at the concerned faces around him, tugged at the corners of his lips, and squeezed out an awkward smile.

“No big deal—the divine bird Bi Fang burned one of my incarnations, that’s all…”

Li Muyang’s use of incarnations during his travels was a hallmark of cultivators from the Tianyuan Continent.

But this was the first time Chu Qingxue and the others had witnessed the horrific aftermath of Li Muyang losing an incarnation.

After most of the group dispersed, only a handful, including Chu Qingxue, remained behind.

Liu Li Fairy gently clasped Li Muyang’s hand, asking with concern, “Li Muyang, did you go to Outer Realm Island?”

Li Muyang nodded slightly.

Meanwhile, the owner of the Three Immortals Tower, Heart Moon Fox Yu Xiaoshuang, was more intrigued by something else.

“Wow! Senior, does every incarnation death hurt this much? It’s like you personally died each time!”

Yu Xiaoshuang exclaimed in shock and fear, “You have no idea how terrifying your screams were just now—it sounded like you were being cut a thousand times or wiped out completely. It gave me chills… Who knew the price of using incarnations was so steep after all?”

“No wonder my master says that those who show off publicly suffer privately… If you didn’t tell us, who’d know what sacrifices you’ve been making?”
