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

This time, returning to the Netherworld, Li Muyang was indeed filled with concern.

If Yu Xiaoshuang were to accompany him, his confidence would increase significantly.

Among the drifting divine corpses in the Netherworld, the Green Blade Mantis would generally evade them in advance.

But the madwoman Chou Yuyan, who ventured deep into the Netherworld, made Li Muyang feel an undeniable threat.

The madwoman had followed Li Muyang through the Netherworld previously, but in the end, she did not leave with him, instead continuing further into its depths—where she went and what she intended to do remained a mystery.

Now, returning once more to the Netherworld, Li Muyang worried about running into Chou Yuyan.

This madwoman, who knows what schemes she’s brewing—if they were to encounter her again, who knows what might happen.

Having Yu Xiaoshuang alongside him did indeed put Li Muyang at ease.

Thinking about it, Li Muyang began to set rules.

“Bringing you along is fine, but I need to make prior rules with you. This time, going to the Netherworld is not for a leisurely outing—it’s extremely dangerous inside.”

“Once we arrive, you must listen to me completely. Anything I tell you to do, you must do—no wandering off, no recklessness, no causing trouble.”

“Whatever I forbid you from doing, you absolutely cannot do!”

Li Muyang sternly instructed the young woman.

Yu Xiaoshuang nodded repeatedly and said, “Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you entirely. Geez, senior—you’re really treating me like a child.”

The young woman pouted unhappily, saying, “You really think I’m some spoiled, unreliable princess… Hmph.”

Some minor grievance surfaced on her face.

Li Muyang chuckled and said, “You’re not the worst.”

He closed his eyes and began to rest.

The Half-Evil Dragon’s clay body had already died, but the good news was that he could re-enter the game. For the next game entry, he could allow the new clay body to inherit all the levels of the Half-Evil Dragon.

It was just that after dying, there was roughly a 12-hour cooldown.

Li Muyang closed his eyes and rested.

The journey ahead progressed smoothly.

Once the cooldown ended, Li Muyang re-entered the game and selected a new clay body.

The attributes of the new clay body were mediocre, so Li Muyang unhesitatingly chose to inherit everything from the Half-Evil Dragon.

Soon, an LV69 Half-Evil Dragon flew out from the underground pit, returning to the edge of the Outer Realm Island.

This place was very close to the eastern boundary.

Li Muyang tilted his head up, and could even see a faint fissure within the barriers of the sky dome.

Though the gap had been patched, the barrier’s fissure still required time to fully heal.

After taking one glance, Li Muyang flew deeper into the island.

In the second-layer zone, his objective was to hunt blood-eyed creatures and accumulate as much Flame Energy Value as possible.

Even though he had acquired Little Wild Grass’s stone statue, Li Muyang still needed to level up the clay body and collect all of the Divine Beast shadows.

He had to clear this game to gain stronger powers.

Li Muyang harbored a faint feeling in his heart—he had to eliminate all threats before the Heaven and Earth Seal was completely shattered.

If the ultimate cosmic force was restricted to the Taichu Realm, he could still fight by leading the Sword Cultivators of the Mysterious Sword Sect.

But if True Immortal Level powers descended, everything would be over—there would be no chance of resistance.

Hence, all obstacles must be eradicated at this stage.

However, the Otherworldly Demon Gods within the Divine Temple suspended in deep space were unaffected by the constraints of the Heaven and Earth Seal.

He needed to find a way to lure them into the Mortal World.

If the Demon Gods descended into the Mortal World and their powers were suppressed to the Taichu Realm, then Li Muyang would have the chance to eliminate them.

This was the only opportunity to overturn the situation.

But how could he lure them into the Mortal World…

As Li Muyang maneuvered the clay body of the Half-Evil Dragon across the Outer Realm Island to grind levels, he simultaneously pondered over this challenge.

Perhaps, only Little Wild Grass could assist him with this conundrum.

After all, Little Wild Grass was the sole entity to have survived the ancient catastrophe and interacted with those Demon Gods—she held deep knowledge of them, and might provide valuable advice.

Li Muyang thought about this as he perched atop the Green Blade Mantis’s head, heading north.

The Green Blade Mantis, familiar with the routes, spent two days traversing the entire planet—from Feiyun Mountain in the Southern Hemisphere, all the way to the farthest northern edge of the Northern Land.

In a rush this time, Li Muyang didn’t even have time to visit the Dragon Girl.

He directly passed over the cities of the Northern Land while riding atop the Green Blade Mantis, soared into the endless abyss, and entered the foggy underground world.

The underground foggy realm remained as dangerous and disorienting as ever.

Neither Li Muyang nor Yu Xiaoshuang could sense nature’s spiritual energy once inside.

Yet, the Green Blade Mantis could still faintly discern a path, advancing along the correct direction.

Along the way, they encountered countless heart-devouring bugs.

But the Green Blade Mantis knew that Li Muyang was pressed for time, so although those heart-devouring bugs flitted near them, it resisted the temptation of such delicacies, leaving all the bugs behind.

With a clear-cut goal, it sprinted forward at full speed, carrying Li Muyang and Yu Xiaoshuang into the foggy underground world and toward the floating remains of the fractured stone gate.

Beyond the stone gate lay the true Netherworld.

As they stepped into the Netherworld, a bone-chilling gust greeted them. Yu Xiaoshuang trembled in fright.

“Se… Senior!”

Yu Xiaoshuang exclaimed in panic, “I can’t sense nature’s spiritual energy anymore!”

Nature’s spiritual energy was the foundation for a cultivator’s survival.

Without it, the depletion of mana would go unreplenished.

Moreover, the Netherworld was saturated with frigid, baleful forces that sought to corrode living beings—anyone who entered would need to constantly expend mana to resist these icy energies.

Seeing Yu Xiaoshuang anxious, Li Muyang let out a chuckle.

“Ah, so you know fear now…”

Li Muyang flicked his hand, revealing a top-grade spirit pill in his palm—a medicine for mana restoration.

Li Muyang said, “I’ve prepared everything. If you run out of mana, just ask me—I have plenty here.”

Li Muyang handed the spirit pill to Yu Xiaoshuang.

To ensure his return to the Netherworld, Li Muyang had earlier enlisted cultivators on Tianyuan Continent to refine elixirs to replenish mana.

For safety’s sake, he had prepared enough for four people.

With Yu Xiaoshuang joining, the supplies remained sufficient.

Watching the Green Blade Mantis advance across the terrain of the Netherworld, Li Muyang squinted and said, “Now that we’ve entered the Netherworld, you mustn’t make any unnecessary noises from now on.”

“We need to maintain complete silence. The less talking and sound, the better.”

“This place is teeming with wandering divine corpses—they will attack any living things. They are incredibly troublesome.”

“Moreover, I have a personal enemy here in the Netherworld—a madwoman. If possible, I hope we don’t cross paths with her.”

When Li Muyang mentioned Chou Yuyan, Yu Xiaoshuang froze for a moment.

“Huh? A madwoman?”

Li Muyang had never revealed anything about Chou Yuyan to others before.

He glanced at Yu Xiaoshuang and said, “Anyway, you just need to know that that madwoman is extremely dangerous.”
