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

The welcome banquet at Tianjiao City was, undoubtedly, a grand affair.

Li Muyang, the country bumpkin, attended such a high-profile banquet for the first time and vividly felt the disparities in life.

The supply of Spiritual Wine, worth a common man's annual consumption, was plentiful.

The dishes served by the maids, were each a delicacy from mountains and seas.

The value of this table of food, if converted to currency from his previous life on Earth, would be akin to drinking famous wines costing tens of thousands per bottle, with a table full of luxury ingredients like Australian lobster, Wagyu beef, bird's nests, and shark fins.

The taste might not be amazing, but the ingredients were definitely premium.

And this was just the side hall for welcoming the Inner Sect Disciples in white robes, Yu Chan couldn't even imagine how high the standard of the main hall where Yan Xiaoru and others dined was.

"Brother, they're so rich here..."

Li Yuechan said in a low voice from the corner, astounded by the luxury of the banquet.

The siblings sat in the corner, their chopsticks hardly stopping. They didn't talk much, but they certainly ate a lot.

Li Muyang also nodded, feeling a connection to this experience.

"The richest person in Jiuyuan City would be considered just a country rich man here."

The siblings quietly discussed their limited experience, completely astonished by the wealth and grandeur of Tianjiao City.

This banquet lasted a long time, with a constant supply of rare ingredients and dishes being served, making the siblings thoroughly enjoy themselves.

As for the topics of the banquet, they hardly participated, merely blending in.

The banquet went on till midnight, after which people gradually left.

The residence for Li Muyang's group of Inner Sect Disciples was arranged within this mansion.

The disciples rested nearby, each having a room with two maids to attend to them.

"The life of the rich is indeed corrupt and extravagant..."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Li Muyang remarked with a sigh.

Although such treatment was not unusual for an Inner Sect Disciple,

it was still a new and strikingly lavish experience for Li Muyang.

Two young and beautiful maids serving him with water to wash his feet even shyly hinted with expectation that they could serve him in bed.

However, Li Muyang pretended not to understand the underlying meaning of their words and dismissed the maids after washing his feet.

He had no interest in women who were after money and fame; he would rather play video games.

After locking the door, Li Muyang lay on the bed and launched the system.

"The Game with the Fairies," begin!

The level at Purple Immortal Stronghold was quite challenging.

The villagers there were all possessed, perpetrating killings in increasingly bizarre and cunning ways.

Their techniques of murder were not straightforward but sinister and secretive.

You could be walking and suddenly die mysteriously, a hint of supernatural horror about it.

Armed with the skill of time-stop and the instant-death flying sword, and accompanied by the highly powerful Glass Immortal Maiden, facing these bizarre villagers was like a lion trying to bite a hedgehog—difficult to get a grip on.

Li Muyang had to rely on dying repeatedly to figure out the villagers' sinister skills and then counteract them effectively.

This was clearly a time-consuming process.

Luckily, time was something Li Muyang had plenty of.

With three months left until the game's deadline, he had ample time.

After playing the game all night, Li Muyang, now at the Foundation Establishment Realm, stepped out of the room energized and ready to work.

This group of Inner Sect Disciples had come to Tianjiao City on a mission.

Aside from their covert assignments, their official task was to inspect the governance of Tianjiao City and uncover the truth behind the murder incidents involving the young Valley Master from Chaotic Soul Valley in the city.

Chaotic Soul Valley, a Demon Path sect, might not be as large as the Refinement Demon Sect, owning just a small valley,

but it was filled with skilled masters and was an ally of the Demon Sect.

Given the involvement of Chaotic Soul Valley's young Valley Master, the Demon Sect did not dare take it lightly, sending the Law Enforcement Elder, Yan Xiaoru, personally to Tianjiao City to handle the situation and avert any diplomatic incidents.

Li Muyang and his group of Inner Sect Disciples in white robes were responsible for making inquiries in the marketplace to ascertain the real situation.

After leaving the house in the early morning, Li Muyang stepped into the bustling and lively market streets of Tianjiao City.

On the spacious avenue, the crowd bustled and jostled, shoulder to shoulder.

Many exotic beasts and monsters were also among them, either tamed by cultivators as mounts or accompanying them on their travels.

Not only were there demon cultivators, but even cultivators of the Path of Immortality were present.

Tianjiao City was not far from the border, and the Refinement Demon Sect was notoriously strict, so there was always little hostility toward the Refinement Demon Sect from those on the Path of Immortality.

Cultivators of the Path of Immortality often entered the territory of the Demon Sect.

To Li Muyang, the vast Tianjiao City was simply a crucible of chaos and diversity.

The righteous path, the demon path, demon cultivators, ordinary people, and many river and lake swindlers—all sects and all sorts... Virtually every faction of the Human Race could be found within Tianjiao City.

Such a complex environment gave Li Muyang a bit of a headache.

To find clues about an Ancient Immortal Artifact in such a vast city?

The difficulty was indeed substantial.

Twenty Inner Sect Disciples in white dispersed among them, like twenty drops of water flowing into the sea.

He always felt that this search plan was a bit unreliable.

Li Muyang changed into casual clothing, concealed his identity as an Inner Sect Disciple, and mingled into the crowd as if on an undercover visit.

His main interactions lingered at various inns, taverns, and performance sites, listening to storytellers and watching street performers.

To say he was investigating more resembled taking a vacation.

Thus, a day passed by quite leisurely.

Seeing that it had grown dark, Li Muyang prepared to return to his lodgings to sleep and continue playing "The Game with the Fairies".

Tianjiao City was indeed bustling and lively, having seen it for a day had broadened his horizons.

It was time to return and continue the game.

Under the night sky, Li Muyang hummed a cheerful tune.

"Irresolvable gazes, my heart as needles at sea bottoms~"

"Just guesses, leave me without an appetite~"

The cold moonlight fell upon Li Muyang.

The crowded streets, unknown to him, had turned deserted.

Ahead, the wide avenue was empty, not a single person in sight.

Seeing this, Li Muyang instinctively stopped in his tracks.

"Hmm?"

Li Muyang's brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately became alert.

Such a lively city as Tianjiao City, even at night, would remain vibrant.

Yet the street before him was devoid of human figures…

Li Muyang slowly turned his head and found the street behind him equally void of people.

He did not know when he had entered such a deathly silent and deserted street.

One could surmise using a knee that something was amiss.

Li Muyang stood slightly stiffly on the spot, not fleeing immediately.

Whoever had led him into this secluded street without a sound had a cultivation far superior to his.

Li Muyang slowly said, "Which senior is here? Why not show yourself?"

I've just arrived in Tianjiao City, I couldn't have offended a master!

Could it be Qin Haie's family?

But Qin Haie's family couldn't possibly know that it was Li Muyang causing trouble in secret…

Li Muyang's mind raced, scanning his surroundings with a frown.

In the gloomy street, a silent shadow suddenly appeared.

She stood there quietly, her face masked, concealing her features.

Only a disguised voice rose under the moonlight.

"Are you Li Muyang of the Refinement Demon Sect?"
