The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?! Chapter 706 - 706 Leopard's Family Letter
The cave was gloomy and dark, yet Li Muyang's body was able to see in the darkness and vaguely make out the content of the letter.
This was a family letter, brief in content, written by a man nad "Panther" to his family.
In the letter, Panther ntioned that he had found traces of his elder brother and was just waiting to catch up to him. He planned to persuade his brother to return ho together, so their parents wouldn't have to worry.
However, judging from the skeletal remains in the cave, Panther had died before the letter could be sent.
As for whether he was killed by the fangs of a demonic monkey or by the hands of the Princess of the Defunct Country... that remained unclear.
Li Muyang looked at the pile of bone fragnts in the corner of the cave and sighed.
A quest prompt popped up in his field of vision.
[Panther's Family Letter: Please deliver the family letter to Panther's hotown, Chengyu]
"Although the mortals in the Ancient Resentnt Well are demonic creatures, they express emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness just like normal people when it's not nightfall."
Carrying the family letter, Li Muyang left with so emotions.
Under the dark sky, arrows floating in Li Muyang's field of vision guided his direction.
Li Muyang, accompanied by the Princess of the Defunct Country, headed towards the wilderness outside the mountains.
Panther's death made him realize that mortals in the Ancient Resentnt Well were not absolutely safe.
At night, mortals turn into monsters and transform into demonic creatures after death, but during the day, if they accidentally encounter demonic creatures, they can be attacked and devoured.
Moreover, the demonic creatures in the cave, after eating the mortals, would destroy the bodies and scatter the bones, turning them into bone fragnts on the ground, not giving these devoured mortals a chance to transform into demons.
Even for demonic creatures, bones turned into fragnts cannot stand up again.
Li Muyang hurried along in the night, and soon arrived at a gloomy forest.
But upon seeing the forest ahead, Li Muyang stopped in his tracks and chose to take a detour.
He rembered very clearly that there was an Evil God called the Yin Erosion Lord inside, which was very tricky and bizarre.
As Li Muyang walked around the forest, he discovered that the edge of the forest was bordered by a winding, flowing river.
The river was broad, and he could only cross it using Qinggong [Flying Corpse Technique].
As for the Princess of the Defunct Country, he ordered her to wade through the water.
But just after Li Muyang and the Princess of the Defunct Country crossed the river, a creepy, sinister laugh sounded around them.
"…Hehe… what a piece of fresh at."
Hearing this familiar sinister laughter, Li Muyang imdiately started to sprint.
But a ghastly pale hand from a dead person erged beside him, gently cradling Li Muyang's face.
The health bar of [Yin Erosion Lord] appeared instantaneously, and Li Muyang died explosively.
[You have died, ga over]
…
The ga-over CG image popped up in his field of vision.
Li Muyang was speechless for two seconds, then returned to the ga and loaded a previous save to start over.
This ti he took a much longer detour, staying far away from the Yin Erosion Lord and completely avoiding that forest.
However, no matter how far he detoured, the creepy, cold laugh still arrived as scheduled.
"…Hehe… what a piece of fresh at."
[You have died, ga over]
"Damn persistent ghost, huh?"
Li Muyang attempted six more reloads, but no matter how he detoured, he was found by the Yin Erosion Lord.
The only ti he didn't encounter the Yin Erosion Lord, he ran into an even more bizarre [Divination Immortal].
Li Muyang had to admit that even as a mber of the Nightwalker tribe, one couldn't just wander around at night in Ancient Resentnt Well.
He loaded a save again and returned to the ga.
This ti he didn't rush to leave, but stayed in the cave with the Princess of the Defunct Country.
Only when the daylight brightened outside and the sun began to rise did Li Muyang venture out of the cave with the Princess of the Defunct Country.
Bathed in the sunlight, the Princess of the Defunct Country, whose original appearance was ferocious and filled with snake hair, startlingly saw the disappearance of the horizontal lines on her face and the fangs in her mouth.
Eventually, this sunbathed Princess of the Defunct Country turned into a cold and expressionless young girl with vacant eyes.
At the sa ti, her four skills were also sealed and could not be activated.
Fortunately, Li Muyang's skills were unaffected and still usable.
"...Does the Soulless also normalize when the sun cos out?"
Li Muyang took the Princess of the Defunct Country, who was completely breathless and undeniably a corpse, down the mountain. He did not return to Qingshan Village but followed the system's arrow to head towards Chengyu.
Shortly after leaving Qingshan Village, Li Muyang, along with the Princess of the Defunct Country, appeared on the official road.
On the spacious official road, with the sunlight scattering, gradually there were pedestrians and vehicles.
In the early morning, all things revived, even the re mortals of Ancient Resentnt Well began their busy day.
Walking on the official road, Li Muyang elicited so curious gazes occasionally.
People were astonished by the beauty and the chilly temperant of the Princess of the Defunct Country.
Li Muyang reached the nearest town, took out all the Silver Tael he had to hire a horse carriage, and continued towards Chengyu.
According to the map, Chengyu was not far, just in the neighboring state.
The horse carriage traveled on the official road for three days, staying at inns at night and setting out during the day, safely arriving at Chengyu.
Li Muyang, with the Princess of the Defunct Country, entered the city, and following the arrow's indication plus so inquiries, quickly arrived outside a residence in the city.
In front of the mansion's gate, sat a middle-aged woman with a distressed expression — the mother of Leopard.
After hearing the purpose of Li Muyang's visit, the middle-aged woman was stunned for a while before hurriedly standing up, sowhat flustered.
"I... I'll make tea for you two."
Her fingers trembled as she opened the door and stealthily wiped the red rims of her eyes while turning around.
After ushering Li Muyang and his companion into the house, the old woman hurriedly invited them to sit and busied herself with boiling water for tea.
Li Muyang sat inside the house, and several curious heads popped up outside the door, all from nearby neighbors.
Hearing that Leopard had sent a family letter back, these neighbors were filled with curiosity.
The old woman asked the neighbors to call her husband ho, carrying the hot tea to where Li Muyang and his companion sat.
"Please, honored guests, enjoy the tea..."
The middle-aged woman's hands trembled slightly as she served the tea.
Li Muyang sighed, accepting the teacup, but found himself at a loss for words.
He took out Leopard's family letter and handed it to the woman.
The brief letter left the old woman with tearful eyes, staring at it for a long ti as if it were a lengthy epic.
The neighbors outside the door fell silent, no longer speaking.
Inside the house, Li Muyang was also sowhat restless.
But at a certain mont, his wandering gaze suddenly noticed a shrine in the house with a na that made him pause.
[Ancestral shrine of Jiang Xiaoyu]
"...Ah?"
The instant he saw the shrine, Li Muyang was taken aback.
The ancestors of this family shared his exact na? What a coincidence?
Amidst his astonishnt, hurried footsteps sounded outside.
A middle-aged man with slightly graying temples ca out, his expression a mix of panic and sorrow.
"...Is it Leopard's family letter?" the middle-aged man asked with a trembling voice.
Li Muyang looked at the middle-aged man, his gaze instantly dropping to the man's chest.
There, hung an Amulet, plain but very familiar to Li Muyang.
It was from "Lethal Wild Grass," the first talisman practice piece given to him by Little Wild Grass.
Here?
Li Muyang's face showed utter astonishnt, looking at the family before him as if he had seen a ghost.
