Chapter 133 The Form of an Immortal
Chapter 133 The Form of an Immortal
```
What does it mean when they say you can't wash yourself clean even if you jump into the Yellow River?
Li Muyang felt somewhat wronged, but upon closer reflection, he felt perhaps not so wronged after all.
Although he had not touched it with his own hands, the sensation of the tentacles' touch was transmitted into his mind.
Tsk... Is this the ability of the ancient evil bloodline?
Control over ethereal tentacles?
Li Muyang realized that from this moment on, "Deadly Wild Grass" might just have a combat mode.
Little Wild Grass, who had her thigh touched, blushed with embarrassment and glared at him for a long time.
But in the end, the girl just huffed and ran off without saying anything.
Watching the girl's retreating figure, Li Muyang smacked his lips, still savoring the sensation from before.
—Referring to the feeling of controlling the tentacles.
With a thought, the tentacles filling the room immediately began to move.
At first, he was somewhat clumsy at controlling them, but he quickly became proficient.
The tentacles in the room undulated flexibly following Li Muyang's will, lifting various objects before setting them down again.
These tentacles could move through the air, even floating in the void.
Li Muyang counted, a total of seventy-three tentacles.
Each tentacle, at full force, could smash rocks and twist metal plates, their strength beyond imagination.
Although Jiang Xiaoyu was still a weakling with no cultivation, with this swarm of tentacles, his combat power was suddenly not to be underestimated.
After getting used to the control of the tentacles, Li Muyang went out to look for Little Wild Grass.
Then, with Little Wild Grass in tow, he went to see Granny Gu at the ancestral temple.
In the morning sunlight, the old woman sat on the steps smoking her water pipe, smiling kindly and amiably.
However, the green tentacles moving alongside Li Muyang withered and shrank to nothingness when they came within two meters of Granny Gu.
This mysterious Granny Gu was still as creepy as ever.
She could clearly see those imaginary tentacles, scanning the area around Li Muyang before finally resting her gaze on him.
"Very good, Xiaoyu, the bloodline of the ancestors has awakened in you."
Granny Gu's smile was benevolent, "Now, you can do tasks for Granny."
"Last night when Wei Sandao killed Manager Wu, he lured him out with an item. Go and bring that item back for Granny."
"Can you do that, Xiaoyu?"
Granny Gu's smile was kind, her tone gentle, it seemed like she was giving Li Muyang a choice.
In Li Muyang's vision, two dialogue boxes popped up.
[The item belonging to Wei Sandao? Alright, I'll find an opportunity to bring it to you.]
[Uh... Stealing things from others, isn't that a bit wrong?]
Li Muyang skillfully saved his game, then chose the second option, refusing the old demoness's task.
The next second, he felt the darkness rise like a tide, enveloping everything.
The transparent tentacles, which had been under his control, suddenly began to riot. The dancing tentacles surged, and in the blink of an eye, they strangled Li Muyang to death.
...
"This old demoness can control my tentacles?"
Li Muyang was somewhat surprised.
Although he knew refusing Granny Gu would lead to death, he didn't expect such an inventive way to die.
It seems in the presence of this old demoness, Jiang Xiaoyu—likewise wielding the power of the evil bloodline—had absolutely no capacity to resist.
Even the power he had awakened was under the control of Granny Gu... what could he possibly use to contend with Granny Gu?
After reloading the game, Li Muyang chose to accept Granny Gu'stask.
```
He turned around with Little Wild Grass, leaving the ancestral temple, ready to steal that thing belonging to Wei Sandao.
All he knew at the moment was that the item emitted a strange scent of blood, and both Manager Wu and Wei Sandao cared deeply about it.
And whether it was Manager Wu or Wei Sandao, neither wanted others to know of the item's existence.
Now Granny had taken an interest in that item... tsk... what in the world was it?
Li Muyang, accompanied by Little Wild Grass, headed toward Black Cloud Fort's back mountain.
He was going to see Wei Sandao.
On the deserted mountain path, Little Wild Grass, who had been silent the entire way, suddenly grabbed Li Muyang's hand.
The little girl had been ignoring Li Muyang all day because he had touched her thigh in the morning.
But seeing that Li Muyang was going to find Wei Sandao, she finally couldn't help but speak.
"Big brother, are you really going to help Granny steal something? Wei Sandao is even fiercer than Manager Wu. If he finds out we're stealing his stuff, he definitely won't let you off."
Worry filled Little Wild Grass's eyes.
Li Muyang stopped in his tracks, helplessly spreading his hands, "Granny asked me to do it, I can't just refuse, can I?"
If refused, that witch would indeed kill someone!
Little Wild Grass bit her lip; it was clear she also knew Granny's commands were hard to refuse.
Yet, to let Li Muyang continue stealing Wei Sandao's treasure, that was clearly fraught with danger.
"Big brother, why don't... why don't we run away?"
Little Wild Grass proposed seriously, "We could escape Black Cloud Fort, go far far away, find a place without Demon Cultivators, without monsters, and start a new life, not adventuring anymore."
Little Wild Grass once again suggested running away.
But Li Muyang just sighed and shook his head, "You can run away for a while, but not for a lifetime."
Every time Li Muyang had run away in the past, the Demon Cultivators had found him and killed him.
"Unless this group of Demon Cultivators all died and no one chased after us, even if we ran to the ends of the earth, they would find us and kill us."
Having said this, Li Muyang's mind suddenly stirred, "All the Demon Cultivators dead..."
Looking at the mountain path leading to the cave system before him, then glancing back at Black Cloud Fort, Li Muyang stroked his chin.
"Seems like there's something to this."
Black Cloud Fort had been coexisting peacefully with these foreign Demon Cultivators, but Granny, for some unfathomable reason, suddenly wanted to kill Manager Wu.
Now she also wanted to steal something from Wei Sandao.
Granny's clearly overstepping actions would undoubtedly provoke the Demon Cultivators' resistance.
So if Li Muyang just fanned the flames a bit, letting the foreign Demon Cultivators from the cave system confront Granny, he could then sit back and watch the tigers fight.
Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?
However, before that, he still needed to insure himself.
Though his awakened evil vein power was formidable, it was controlled by Granny.
Li Muyang had to unearth a new source of strength to keep in reserve. If there was a future conflict with Granny, he could not rely on the evil vein power.
With this thought, Li Muyang looked at Little Wild Grass beside him, his face adorned with a smile.
"Little girl, haven't you always wanted to learn cultivation? Now, I will teach you the way of cultivation."
Li Muyang wasn't sure about others, but Little Wild Grass was confirmed by the system to have the stature of an Immortal.
All Little Wild Grass lacked now was a Cultivation Technique to practice.
As it happened, Li Muyang had recently acquired the "Ghostly Demon Technique," a top-tier cultivation method.
Directly imparting the "Ghostly Demon Technique" to Little Wild Grass, this system-appointed girl with the stature of an Immortal, would surely not disappoint Li Muyang, right?
Li Muyang, with a smile on his face, was in no hurry to find Wei Sandao in the cave system anymore.
He pulled Little Wild Grass into the forest, found a secluded and deserted place, and said to her,
"Now, I will teach you a Cultivation Technique!"
