The Game with Fairies-Chapter 362

Hearing Li Yuechan’s voice, Li Muyang’s heart stirred.

After quickly giving a few more instructions to the Moon-Biting Dragon, he logged off amidst the disappointed pleas of the Dragon Maiden.

Back in reality, Li Muyang opened his eyes and immediately stepped out of the room.

“Elder Yan has arrived?”

Li Muyang spoke and subconsciously looked up at the sky over Mei River City.

……

Floating in the sky was a flying boat.

The streamlined, elongated flying boat was exquisite and magical, suspended in the heavens and faintly emitting a pale blue light.

Mei River was just a small county town, and the locals had never seen such a sight, exclaiming in amazement.

The lord of Mei River City, along with all the officials, hurriedly knelt beneath the flying boat to worship, waiting for the commands of the great personage from the sect.

However, no divine decrees descended from the high-suspended flying boat.

Instead, a few streaks of light flew up into the flying boat.

Then, the wondrous flying boat turned direction and flew away, trailing a long glow.

Clearly, the flying boat had come to pick someone up and had no intention of dealing with the mortals below.

Even so, the officials of Mei River City remained kneeling on the streets for a full hour until the flying boat had completely vanished and they were sure it would not return.

Only then did the city lord dare to carefully lead his subordinates to their feet.

On the departing flying boat, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn and stiff.

Yan Xiaoru, whom they had not seen for many days, sat at the head with a pale face and a weary expression, remaining silent.

After Li Muyang and others boarded the flying boat, they saw that it was empty inside.

This flying boat, temporarily borrowed by Yan Xiaoru, carried only her.

However, Li Muyang’s two maidservants, as well as Aunt Su, who was also a maid in status, quickly busied themselves with various chores on the flying boat.

Li Damu and his wife were arranged into a cabin.

Li Yuechan, nominally an inner disciple, carefully excused herself and also withdrew.

Soon, only Li Muyang was left in the spacious hall.

Yan Xiaoru, looking tired, sat at the head and let out a soft sigh, saying, “Are you alright…”

Despite her fatigue, Yan Xiaoru’s gaze towards Li Muyang still carried a hint of concern.

After the room was left with just the two of them, Li Muyang also relaxed.

He found a chair to sit down and said, “The journey to escape was tiring, but I wasn’t injured.”

After sitting down, Li Muyang began to speak on his own accord, “By a stroke of luck, I tamed a powerful beast. I can summon it from the void and command it to kill my enemies.”

“Although the beast has no cultivation, I roughly estimate that its strength is not inferior to the Purple Mansion realm.”

“Ordinary Purple Mansion realm cultivators, if ambushed by it, might even be instantly killed.”

The assassination ability of the Emerald Blade Mantis was unquestionable. It was a born Assassin.

Li Muyang revealed his trump card upon meeting, detailing the Emerald Blade Mantis.

After hearing this, Yan Xiaoru nodded slightly and said, “Susu mentioned it in the message from the Azure Bird, just not as detailed as you.”

After speaking, Yan Xiaoru fell silent again.

Li Muyang, sitting not far from her, scratched his head.

The air was filled with a strange and awkward silence.

Although he had a bellyful of words to say and a plethora of questions to ask before meeting, now that they were face to face, he didn’t know how to start or what to ask first.

Mainly, Yan Xiaoru’s cold and indifferent demeanor was completely at odds with the joy he had imagined for their reunion after a long separation.

Seeing her so indifferent, he almost doubted whether his past entanglement with her was just a dream…

The weird silence lasted for quite a while. Li Muyang felt he had to break the deadlock.

So after much thought, he began to speak, “I’ve encountered some things recently…”

As soon as Li Muyang spoke, Yan Xiaoru calmly nodded.

“The Red Luan Star is moving, you’ve encountered romantic affairs… right?”

“Right… no, wrong!”

Li Muyang instinctively objected but then paused.

He remembered Fairy Liuli’s confession to him… but Yan Xiaoru shouldn’t know about that!

He looked at Yan Xiaoru in astonishment, only to see her sigh and say softly, “I can vaguely see some changes in your qi, the Red Luan Star is moving, and you’re having a romantic encounter. At least five women are in love with you now. Am I wrong?”

Yan Xiaoru looked at Li Muyang and said softly, “I am the last bloodline of the Heavenly Secrets (Tianji) Pavilion left in the world. This is the deepest secret hidden within me. So I can see some of the qi changes on a person and guess their circumstances through these changes.”

Yan Xiaoru casually revealed a shocking secret.

Li Muyang’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Heavenly Secrets Pavilion…”

Even for him, a recluse with limited knowledge of the cultivation world, he had heard of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

It was the only cultivation tradition from ancient times that had survived without being destroyed by the dark turmoil.

Legend has it that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion possessed the supreme power to deduce the great Dao of heaven and earth and foresee the future.

However, according to worldly rumors, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had perished over a thousand years ago.

Yet, the woman before him, Yan Xiaoru, was a descendant of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and she was only 29 years old?

Li Muyang was astounded.

Since Yan Xiaoru had spoken, she naturally intended to clarify things.

Facing Li Muyang’s bewildered gaze, Yan Xiaoru spoke softly, “The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion that people speak of was destroyed one thousand three hundred and ninety-seven years ago.

But the bloodline of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion did not end.

It merely went into hiding, lurking in the shadows to avoid the catastrophe.”

“Twenty years ago, my parents perished due to the hereditary curse of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, and I became the last remaining descendant of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion in this world.”

Yan Xiaoru looked at Li Muyang with a somber expression and continued, “Although the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion escaped the dark chaos and the cataclysm of ancient times, the changing laws of heaven and earth left a curse within the bloodline of the Pavilion. Those of us from this lineage, the more we practice the arts of fate deduction and peer into the heavenly Dao, the faster we die.”

“Even if we do not practice the arts of fate deduction, once we reach a certain age, we will still suffer the Five Decays of Heaven and Man and die prematurely.”

After finishing her explanation, Yan Xiaoru looked at Li Muyang and said, “On the day my parents died, I decided to let the bloodline of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion end with my generation, to spare future descendants from suffering.”

“Therefore, I cannot bear children to continue your Li Family lineage.”

Yan Xiaoru stated this calmly and indifferently.

“Since the Red Luan star is moving, it means that you are quite popular with the ladies. Besides their fondness for you, you must also have feelings for them, as the attraction of qi would not be triggered otherwise.”

“In that case, let them bear your children and continue your lineage… I have no objections.”

Yan Xiaoru spoke nonchalantly.

However, Li Muyang instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Wait a second… Five?

Where on earth did these five come from?

Don’t I only know about Fairy Liuli?

And Yan Xiaoru, speaking so coldly about such an outrageous matter… she’s doing this to deliberately provoke me, right?

Is this childish ghost angry?

Li Muyang carefully observed the woman before him, shrinking his neck slightly, and tentatively asked, “So… uh…”

Scratching his head, Li Muyang said, “You’ve been refusing me because you don’t plan to have children. Is that why you’ve always rejected me?”

Yan Xiaoru shook her head, “No, it’s not because of that.”

She looked at Li Muyang coolly, her lips suddenly curving into a slight smile. “I rejected you because I want to kill Gong Yanghong and destroy the Demon Refining Sect. The matter is too dangerous, and I didn’t want to drag you into it and get you killed.”

Yan Xiaoru smiled at Li Muyang and said, “But since you’re insisting on courting death, I can only take you with me. Now that I’ve informed you, you have no way out in this life, and you can only follow me to the end.”
