The Game with Fairies-Chapter 289

“The turmoil in the south is getting worse…”

“They say the rebel army is almost at the capital.”

“The Blood Demon Sect’s demons are causing chaos everywhere. Wherever they go, they slaughter living beings. I wonder if the court can hold them back.”

“I heard that the Emperor is critically ill and that the government is controlled by the great teacher Pang…”

“Ah, Teacher Pang…”

The two young men shook their heads in mockery when mentioning Teacher Pang, but they dared not say more.

Beneath the seemingly calm surface of the river, a pale white giant shadow silently followed the boat.

Li Muyang, with his powerful senses as a Moon-Biting Dragon, clearly heard the conversation.

His heart stirred, confirming that this was indeed the Heavenly Origin Dynasty.

The Blood Demon Sect, the southern turmoil, the rebel army causing chaos—these were all classic elements of the Heavenly Origin Dynasty.

It made sense for so many evil creatures to exist in this river.

The Heavenly Origin Dynasty was known for its scarcity of cultivators.

Now, in the last years of the dynasty, with the world in turmoil and the people suffering, the resentment of living beings would breed evil spirits.

Moreover, the Heavenly Origin continent had an Ancient Grudge Well, which greatly influenced the land.

Just in the river where Li Muyang was, there were so many evil creatures, let alone the rest of the Heavenly Origin Dynasty’s lands, where countless evil spirits must have been born, influenced by the ancient evil gods within the Ancient Grudge Well.

Li Muyang narrowed his eyes, a hint of concern crossing his mind.

It seemed that if things continued this way, the Heavenly Origin Dynasty would become a breeding ground for evil spirits.

With so many evil creatures born and roaming the land, could there really be no problems?

As Li Muyang pondered, ready to leave in search of new prey, the conversation of the two young men on the boat above caught his attention again.

“…I heard that Fairy Liuli from the Mystic Sword Sect is coming to the north.”

“Oh? Fairy Liuli is coming to the north? I’ve vaguely heard of this fairy. She’s said to be the close disciple of Master Qingye.”

“Yes, that’s her. People say she’s coming to our north to subdue demons and vanquish evil spirits, to eradicate those that have taken root in the mountains and rivers.”

“Sigh… The north is a harsh and cold place, always overlooked. Beyond the borders, there are wandering immortals that are said to be unfriendly to cultivators. In these times, only the exalted ones from the Mystic Sword Sect would come to our north.”

“I hope Fairy Liuli can clear the evil spirits breeding in the mountains and rivers when she arrives in the north.”

“The north is a bitter and dangerous place. Even the Demon-Suppressing Masters from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau are reluctant to come close. If Fairy Liuli from the Mystic Sword Sect is willing to come and exorcise demons, she truly is a noble and virtuous person of the immortal path…”

“After all, she’s a disciple of Master Qingye…”

Li Muyang was slightly surprised to hear about Fairy Liuli.

Fairy Liuli… coming here?

F*ck!

An old acquaintance!

If Fairy Liuli came to this place to subdue demons, it would be perfect to team up with her.

After the turmoil in Sanhe City, having overcome her inner demons, Fairy Liuli’s strength had greatly increased.

Teaming up with her, Li Muyang could challenge stronger demons and level up faster.

The more he understood this world, the more urgent Li Muyang felt about cultivating and leveling up.

The existence of the Ancient Grudge Well was a sword hanging over everyone’s head in this world.

Although this sword might not fall on Li Muyang’s head first, it was better to be prepared, and the stronger his cultivation, the better.

Li Muyang listened a bit more, only to find that the two young men had stopped discussing Fairy Liuli and were now talking about which brothel to visit and which girl to favor after arriving in Baizhou City that night.

Listening to the two young men excitedly discuss the merits and skills of the brothel girls, Li Muyang shook his head speechlessly and moved on.

He dived back into the river to continue his hunt for evil creatures and level up.

The only difference now was that Li Muyang deliberately stayed close to the large boats, eavesdropping on the conversations of the people on board.

……

“He’s started to take an interest in the people on the river?”

The Moon-Biting Dragon swimming in the river pondered, somewhat puzzled.

Today, she noticed that his behavior had changed again.

Now, he began to listen to the conversations of the people on the river, but it didn’t seem like he wanted to eat them.

He was just listening.

“Could it be that he’s also learning to speak like humans?”

The Moon-Biting Dragon tilted her head in thought but couldn’t come to a conclusion.

However, she felt that it didn’t matter if she couldn’t understand. All she needed to do was follow along.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

Ever since that person came into her body, every action had been beneficial to her.

She might not understand at the moment, but as long as she followed along, she would surely understand in the future.

That person must be much smarter than her.

After all, she had only recently gained spiritual intelligence, and considering the days before her enlightenment, she had been in this world for less than a year.

For things she didn’t understand, she just needed to learn by following.

So, while hunting in the water, she also began to imitate that person’s behavior, occasionally sticking close to the riverboats to listen to the conversations above.

At first, she didn’t understand much, but as she listened more and more, she gradually began to comprehend what those people were saying.

As she continued to hunt and level up day by day, that person would still come into her body at regular times, hunt with her, and then leave at a set time.

And after that person left, she would hunt on her own and listen to the conversations of the people on the boats.

Finally, when her size grew again, from five zhang to ten zhang long, she understood the voices of the people on the boats.

Although she didn’t understand many of the words, she could at least grasp what they were talking about.

During this process, she occasionally saw some people fall off the boats and into the water.

Most were human children, and some were adults who couldn’t swim.

Each time this happened, she would actively swim over and lift the people who had fallen into the water back onto the boats.

At first, those people would scream in terror upon seeing her.

But after a while, when she rescued people, no one screamed in fear anymore.

Instead, they would kneel on the boat and kowtow fervently.

“Thank you, River God, for saving our lives!”

Those people said some incomprehensible words, and she roughly understood they were thanking her.

But why call her River God?

She didn’t have a name, and River God wasn’t her name.

These people had given her an unpleasant name all on their own, which she found amusing.

Sometimes, she would hear strange words when she lay beneath the boats and followed the current.

“…I hope the River God blesses our journey with smooth sailing.”

“I hope the River God allows me to return home alive to see my parents.”

“I hope the River God blesses that my husband dies at home…”

Those people said all sorts of nonsensical things to her, asking her to do this and that.

But she didn’t want to do any of it.

She also didn’t understand why these people were speaking to her as if she could do anything.

And you’re not ‘that’ person. I don’t listen to what you say.

She thought proudly, I’m not some maid to be ordered around!
