The Game with Fairies-Chapter 327 - Seeing the Little Aunt Again
Chapter 327: Seeing the Little Aunt Again
In the Li family estate, Li Muyang sat under the eaves, quietly watching the lotus flowers in the pond in the pavilion.
The Li Family originally had just a small, standalone courtyard, barely maintaining a bit of property in Jiuyuan City thanks to Li Damu’s official position, nothing noteworthy.
However, as Li Muyang rose to prominence in the Demon Refining Sect, the life of the Li family in Jiuyuan City, including his parents, improved significantly.
This manor was a gift from the Qin family of Tianjiao City.
Tianjiao City is not far from Jiuyuan City, and when there was unrest in Tianjiao City, it almost affected Jiuyuan City.
The Qin family within Tianjiao City is a true noble clan with considerable influence within the Demon Refining Sect.
Although the Qin family was impacted during the turmoil of the Blood Lotus Sect, they only suffered a flesh wound.
With the fall of the Blood Lotus Sect, the Qin family of Tianjiao City quickly regained their power.
The first thing they did was to send people to Jiuyuan City, two thousand li away, to deliver the manor.
This was not only to curry favor with Li Muyang, who was already confirmed to be promoted to a direct disciple but also to thank him for his care during his undercover period in the Blood Lotus Sect.
Although Li Muyang did not intentionally save the Qin family members, his ferocious deed of confronting and killing people on the street outside Sin Alley in a standoff with the half-demons of Liehai Hall certainly intimidated many disciples within the Blood Lotus Sect.
As a result, after that confrontation, the days of the female cultivators imprisoned in Sin Alley improved significantly, and almost no one dared to bully them in Sin Alley anymore.
Therefore, after the chaos of the Blood Lotus Sect ended, many noble families from within Tianjiao City came to Jiuyuan City to offer money and land.
The once ordinary Li Family became the wealthiest family in Jiuyuan City overnight.
And Li Muyang, at this moment, was sitting in his new manor, staring blankly at the lotus pond in the courtyard.
The Flesh and Bone Green Garment had already been placed underground by him, and now he was waiting for its effects to activate.
To be honest, this trip home was easier than he had imagined.
His parents were extremely polite and cautious around him, not daring to utter a single word of nagging.
The situation Li Muyang had worried about did not occur.
Since that was the case, Li Muyang was happy to enjoy his leisure.
After the banquet yesterday, he secluded himself in a separate courtyard, declining all visits from relatives and friends.
Worldly affairs?
Li Muyang didn’t care.
After all, with his little sister Li Yuechan, who was adept at socializing and had high emotional intelligence, accompanying his parents and dealing with relatives outside, that was enough.
But at this moment, a cold and sinister breeze suddenly swept through the courtyard.
Li Muyang, who had been sitting under the eaves daydreaming, frowned slightly.
It was early autumn, and it was normal for the mornings to be a bit cold.
But that chilly breeze just now... something was off.
Li Muyang frowned and looked around.
However, in the quiet courtyard, no one was to be seen.
Only the koi in the lotus pond were swimming, moving their bodies.
“Hmm?”
Li Muyang expressionlessly summoned the Dharma-Annihilation Wheel, not letting his guard down in the slightest.
He was all too familiar with cold and sinister things.
That chilly breeze was definitely not normal.
Since the Dharma-Annihilation Wheel was effective against such sinister things, Li Muyang was about to activate it to find out the origin of that breeze.
But then, in the air not far away, a semi-transparent figure of a young girl suddenly appeared, waving her hands frantically at him.
“Eh, eh, eh! It’s me, it’s me! Brother-in-law, don’t get excited!”
The panicked ghostly girl watched nervously as the Dharma-Annihilation Wheel floated beside Li Muyang, seemingly very afraid.
When Li Muyang heard this address and saw the familiar figure in front of him, he fell silent.
This... Shen Miao?
What the hell!
Shen Yan’s twin sister from the Blood Lotus Sect was released by Li Muyang from the Four Directions Cauldron and became a wandering ghost, roaming the world.
Before she left, she said she wanted to travel every inch of the world and witness its wonderful beauty with her own eyes.
But now she appeared at the Li residence?
Li Muyang immediately put away the Dharma-Annihilation Wheel and subconsciously observed his surroundings to make sure no one was eavesdropping outside the courtyard before he suspiciously stared at the ghostly girl in front of him.
“...What are you doing at my house? Weren’t you traveling the world?”
Li Muyang had a look of seeing a ghost.
The appearance of someone from the Blood Lotus Sect near his home was not a good sign.
If it weren’t for the fact that this little girl already knew he was an undercover agent for the Demonic Sect, Li Muyang would have suspected that the wandering soul in front of him was here to avenge the Blood Lotus Sect.
The ghostly girl breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Muyang,
“Brother-in-law, you really keep your cards close to your chest. You even have such a sinister artifact hidden away.”
“That wheel of yours seems to specifically suppress me. When I saw it, I felt an inexplicable fear, as if I had seen my nemesis...”
After the ghostly girl expressed her feelings, she then answered Li Muyang’s question.
“As for why I’m here, of course, it’s to find you, brother-in-law.”
The girl sighed and said, “I was indeed traveling around the world. This world is full of wonders and interesting things.”
“Although I don’t have a physical body and can’t experience many joys, because I don’t have a physical body, I can sneak into many places that living people can’t get close to and observe.”
“And because of this, I stumbled upon a conspiracy specifically targeting you.”
The ghostly girl’s expression suddenly became exaggerated and sinister, as if she were telling a horror story.
She vividly described,
“It was a dark and windy night, and I was resting and sleeping in a place where the earth’s veins were full of yin and evil when I suddenly saw several dark figures gathering in haste.”
“Those figures were all weird and sinister and incredibly powerful!”
“They were discussing in secret, planning to take advantage of the opportunity when you, brother-in-law, a genius of the Demon Refining Sect, returned home to visit to come to Jiuyuan City and harm you!”
The ghostly girl’s tone was incredibly exaggerated.
Li Muyang knew there was a lot of exaggeration in her words.
If they were really that powerful, how could you, a wandering soul, stay by and eavesdrop?
He looked at the girl’s performance with a calm face and said,
“So you specifically ran here to warn me, to remind me to be aware of the danger...?”
“Hehe... you saw through me, brother-in-law,” the girl said sheepishly, scratching her head and laughing.
“You’re really smart, brother-in-law.”
Li Muyang rolled his eyes and asked, “So what exactly are those people? What sect or faction do they belong to?”
The ghostly girl blinked and shook her head, “I don’t know.”
“When are they coming?”
The girl shook her head again, looking innocent, “I don’t know.”
“Then what do you know?”
“I know they’re coming to kill you.”
“You...” Li Muyang was speechless.
This ghostly girl was as unreliable as ever.
After a lot of nonsense, the most critical information was unknown.
But just as Li Muyang was speechless, the ghostly girl blurted out an important piece of information.
“I only know that those people said they would kill you to see what you have on you.”
“They seem to be looking for the soul of an ancient times Corpse-Resolving Immortal, saying that the soul might be harbored within someone from the Demon Refining Sect, and there have been signs of that Corpse-Resolving Immortal’s activities near the Demon Refining Sect.”
“And brother-in-law, you seem to fit the bill for being possessed by the Corpse-Resolving Immortal.”
