The Game with Fairies

Chapter 40

“Do I look like I’m worried about you?”

After Li Muyang said this, the girl couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Li Muyang didn’t understand what was so funny about this statement though.

Regardless, his little sister’s condition had improved a lot. At the very least, she wasn’t in as much pain anymore.

Seeing that her condition had stabilized, Li Muyang took a water bucket and went out to continue watering the spiritual field.

He needed to think alone about what to do next.

But before long, Ning Wan’er came to visit.

After learning about Li Yuechan’s condition, she seemed to want to say something. But in the end, the girl didn’t say anything.

The young Miss of the Ning family chatted with Li Yuechan for a while and then left just like that.

Guan Xiaoshun came to the outside of the house at dusk, bringing three eighty-year-old Zhu fruits.

“Um… Brother Li, please accept these three Zhu fruits.”

Guan Xiaoshun scratched his head. “I spent all the money I had saved up on a custom-made flying sword at the alchemy furnace in Yunxiao City. I went to the alchemy furnace today to ask, but they refused to refund the money, and now this is all I have left. Sorry.”

This sincere young man from a border town even more remote than Jiuyuan City looked very earnest.

Given his relationship with Li Muyang, the fact that he went this far was beyond Li Muyang’s expectations.

Seeing the three Zhu fruits in front of him, Li Muyang was momentarily at a loss.

“Xiaoshun…”

Is this kid for real? So warm-hearted?

Li Muyang was somewhat stunned.

Although they were neighbors before, their relationship wasn’t that close. Now, in a time of crisis, this kid had directly brought over three Zhu fruits.

For the emotionally detached Outer Sect, this was a really huge favor.

Although simple and kind, Guan Xiaoshun was also not a pushover.

There had been some Outer Sect disciples who had run into trouble before, but he had never been this concerned.

Li Muyang was puzzled, while Guan Xiaoshun scratched his head awkwardly.

“Um… Brother Li, you’re different from them.”

“Those people always think I’m young, from the countryside and naive, and they want to trick me out of my money or take advantage of me.”

“But Brother Li, you’ve never been after my money and never looked down on me. You’re completely different, you’re my friend.”

“Brother Li, I can tell that you’re nothing like those people, so I’m willing to help you. I know you would do the same for me.”

Guan Xiaoshun’s words left Li Muyang somewhat silent.

He was silent for a long time and finally just sighed and patted the young man’s shoulder.

“Alright, thank you.”

Saying too much at such a time would seem tacky, so Li Muyang simply expressed his gratitude and took Guan Xiaoshun’s kindness to heart.

When Guan Xiaoshun left, he shared some news with Li Muyang.

“By the way, Brother Li, I heard that Senior Sister Qin Haie had an accident!”

Looking around to make sure no one was nearby, Guan Xiaoshun spoke mysteriously,

“When I was in the city, I overheard two Inner Sect disciples talking. They said that Senior Sister Qin Haie somehow offended some evil cultivator and almost died in her dream last night.” ?

“They said there was a terrifying monster chasing her in her dream, scaring Senior Sister Qin so much that she was crying and screaming. Somehow, wounds kept appearing on her body, but she couldn’t wake up at all. Senior Sister Qin might have died last night if Elder Qi hadn’t intervened in time.”

“But even so, Senior Sister Qin was already seriously injured…”

Guan Xiaoshun shared this newly acquired information with Li Muyang.

The simple young man said this while quietly lamenting,

“It’s a pity that the evil cultivator didn’t directly kill Senior Sister Qin… Why didn’t he just kill her…”

Guan Xiaoshun was genuinely regretful.

Having heard the news, Li Muyang, also smiled and nodded.

“Yeah, I guess Senior Sister Qin is quite tough.”

As expected of a Golden Core expert, she’s hard to kill.

But if Elder Qi could save her last night, what about tonight?

And the night after, and thereafter.

The ‘Flesh and Bone Green Garment’ would visit her every night.

Li Muyang sent Guan Xiaoshun away with a smile, then his expression became serious.

He returned to the house, refined the three Zhu fruits into medicinal liquid, and fed it to Li Yuechan, who was drowsily sleeping on the bed.

Then he went to the old tree behind the house and dug up a creepy puppet.

At this moment, the paper attached to the back of the puppet had been burned away.

But Li Muyang had prepared a new piece of paper, a palm-sized sheet filled with detailed information about Qin Haie.

He calmly attached this paper to the back of the Flesh and Bone Green Garment and once again buried the eerie puppet in the ground.

The system’s tool is even more powerful than I imagined.

A Golden Core demonic cultivator couldn’t even resist it.

Elder Qi intervened and forcibly pulled Qin Haie out of her sleep, but it only burned a piece of paper.

The Flesh and Bone Green Garment remained unscathed, and it can still go there tonight.

After burying the soil, Li Muyang stood up and looked towards the distant mountain peaks.

That’s the direction of the Inner Sect, where Senior Sister Qin Haie is located.

I’m an Outer Sect Servant Disciple, so I can’t see the current state of the Inner Sect, but Elder Qi’s and her direct disciples’ residences must be bustling right now, right?

“Hang in there, Senior Sister Qin.”

Li Muyang’s tone was indifferent as he muttered to himself, then he turned and left.

You’re so powerful, and so is your master. I hope she can protect you for a few more days.

That way, you can suffer more in your nightmares.

Li Muyang’s expression was devoid of any trace of guilt or unease. Even if someone from the Inner Sect were to investigate him, they wouldn’t find anything unusual about this ordinary Outer Sect disciple.

Not to mention, why would those lofty demonic cultivators from the Inner Sect bother to come to a dump like the Outer Sect to investigate?

Who would have thought that a high and mighty direct disciple of the demon sect would be secretly harmed by an inconspicuous menial worker from the Outer Sect?

Everyone is probably suspecting that mysterious person in Yunxiao City, or perhaps other direct disciples within the demon sect… After all, it’s quite common for direct disciples to scheme against and curse each other to death in a demonic sect like the Demon Refining Sect.

Li Muyang was not worried at all about anyone tracing it back to him.

But soon, something even more outrageous than the Inner Sect sending someone to investigate him happened.

“Miss Ning, are you serious?”

Li Muyang, who had just finished watering the spiritual field, looked at Ning Wan’er, who had come to visit again, and his usually calm and composed expression couldn’t hold up anymore.

He looked at the green tea lady in front of him and the pile of spiritual medicine she brought with shock and disbelief, wondering if he was still dreaming.

“Where did you get so many spiritual medicines?”

Li Muyang’s expression was one of shock.

This woman not only didn’t scam him for money, but she was actually bringing money to him… Had the sun risen from the west?

Ning Wan’er’s face turned red at Li Muyang’s astonished expression.

However, she still tried to maintain her composure and said, “These are the spiritual medicines I brought from home, accumulated over several years. Maybe we can save Yuechan with these.”

After saying this, the girl looked painfully at the pile of spiritual medicines, constantly comforting herself in her heart.

After all, it was his money that bought them, and now she was just giving it back to him.

No need to feel heartache, no need to feel heartache…

The girl hypnotized herself, but the smile on her face was incredibly forced.

She was even on the verge of crying.

Wuu wuuu… These are all the savings I’ve worked hard for!

I’ve saved for three years!

At least half of it is my own money, so why should I give it all to Li Muyang!

Ning Wan’er, have you lost your mind!

Wuuu…
