The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?! -
Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Surely the Two of Us Can't Go?
Entering the game once again, Li Muyang, with the experience of two previous failures, was now well-versed in what to do.
Upon seeing the Human Puppet Master's body begin to mutate, Li Muyang immediately hurled the wheel in his hand at it.
The wheel, emitting a chilling aura, transformed into a black beam of light and slashed towards the Human Puppet Master.
Just as the Human Puppet Master had successfully transformed, it was struck by the wheel.
It struggled to move its neck out of the way, barely dodging the strike, but its face was still grazed by the wheel, leaving a gash from which blood spurted wildly.
[Human Puppet Master: Damn Jiang Xiaoyu!]
The Human Puppet Master screamed in pain and anger, and a bit of its health bar emptied.
Although the damage wasn't significant, Li Muyang's attack had indeed hurt it.
All he needed to do was deplete this creature's health bar to defeat it.
Seeing this, Li Muyang smirked.
Since it was a game, and there was a health bar, it would be easy to handle.
In games, as long as there's a health bar, even the creator gods are killable for all to see!
Not to mention a mere Human Puppet Master.
Li Muyang controlled the spinning wheel, attacking the Human Puppet Master together with the two half-demons…
...
"Yu Chan, we'll arrive at Magic Sword City tomorrow. Why do you seem so worried?"
In the boudoir, scented with a light fragrance, Ning Wan'er curiously asked.
This was Ning Wan'er's room, also located on the Flying Boat. But compared to the large dorm rooms where Outer Sect Disciples slept, the room for Ning Wan'er, a Direct Disciple, was more like a presidential suite.
Incense burned inside, diffusing a tranquilizing aroma into the air.
The impeccably tidy room gleamed so clean that one could lie down directly on the floor.
Having finished her tasks and cultivation an hour before, Ning Wan'er sent her maid to invite Li Yuechan.
Even though she had become a Direct Disciple at Refinement Demon Sect, rising up the ranks suddenly, Ning Wan'er felt lonelier than ever.
With the distinguished status of a Direct Disciple, there were only a few under each Elder, and even Inner Sect Disciples would have to act cautiously and pay their respects upon seeing her. The gap in status was too great for any deep friendships to form.
As for the other Direct Disciples, who were her seniors and juniors, they were competitors, making a deep relationship even less likely.
To her surprise, Ning Wan'er found that the only person she could confide in was Li Yuechan, a fellow townsman from the same city of Jiuyuan.
Therefore, on this trip out, she specifically brought along Li Yuechan and her brother, almost daily sending her maid to invite Li Yuechan to keep her company.
The two girls often chatted long into the night and would sleep together.
The young Miss Li, despite her age, was faultless in her manners and very pleasant to be with.
But tonight, Ning Wan'er noticed that Li Yuechan, usually cheerful and optimistic, seemed to be troubled and worried about something.
After they finished chatting about the legends and stories of Magic Sword City, Ning Wan'er curiously brought up the matter.
She felt a vague sense of worry in her heart.
—Could it be that the other Direct Disciples, seeing how close she was getting to Li Yuechan, were taking it out on her?
But Li Yuechan sighed and said, "It's not really anything big…"
Li Yuechan hesitated for a moment, and looking at Ning Wan'er in front of her, she finally spoke up.
"Ning Sister, what do you think about my brother now?"
Li Yuechan's question seemed to come out of nowhere.
Ning Wan'er was stunned for a moment, thinking Li Yuechan had come to examine her intentions on behalf of her brother.
She suddenly understood.
Humph… Li Muyang, on the surface you appear indifferent towards me, showing no interest, and yet you send your sister to probe my thoughts?
So his lack of interest in me was all an act!
A feeling of "just as I thought" rose in Ning Wan'er's heart.
She smiled faintly, feeling a bit of joy, as if she had won something.
"Your brother, huh…"
Ning Wan'er chose her words carefully, smiling as she spoke, "Your brother has become steady and mature now, rational and dependable. After coming to the Refinement Demon Sect, he has indeed changed a lot and has become a leader among his peers."
Ning Wan'er gave a favorable evaluation.
She was curious to see if Li Muyang would regain confidence and resume the momentum he once had in Jiuyuan City after knowing her praise.
However, even after receiving such affirmative praise, Li Yuechan's brows remained furrowed, void of joy.
"Yes, my brother has turned into someone who is mature and steady, rational and dependable."
"He doesn't even like you, Sister Ning, anymore."
Li Yuechan sighed with bitterness, "Now, he seems to prefer sticking with handsome young men."
"That Guan Xiaoshun, he's very close with him..."
Ling Yuechan's words made Ning Wan'er pause for a moment.
She didn't understand at first.
"Um... he and Guan Xiaoshun..."
She did know that the youth from the border town was Li Muyang's good friend, which was why she had brought him along this time.
But...
Ning Wan'er looked at Li Yuechan in surprise, and the two girls stared at each other in silence for a while. Watching Li Yuechan's bitter expression and tightly knitted brows, Ning Wan'er's mouth slowly fell open.
"No... you don't mean..."
Li Muyang started to like men?!
Is that what the younger sister of the Li family implied?
Ning Wan'er was flabbergasted.
Yet, she saw Li Yuechan shake her head with worry, saying, "I'm not sure yet, but I feel like it's very likely..."
Li Yuechan recounted the recent happenings.
It included how her brother showed no interest in women at the Outer Sect, not giving the brothels a second glance, and on the Flying Boat, he hardly ever spoke to other Outer Sect Disciples. He would either disappear during the day or stick with Guan Xiaoshun.
Even their beds were placed next to each other.
"This..."
The more Ning Wan'er listened to Li Yuechan, the more shocked her expression became.
"Li Muyang likes men..."
This was as terrifying as a ghost story, yet the more Li Yuechan explained, the more plausible it seemed!
This very guy had previously been madly pursuing her, brimming with adoration, but now he showed no interest in her whatsoever.
This abrupt change was like he had become a completely different person.
But if he now liked men, that seemed to explain everything.
Falling for a man within two months of leaving home...
At that moment, Ning Wan'er suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
Could it be that Li Muyang was so deeply hurt by her that he became stimulated and started to like men?
She hesitated, looking at Li Yuechan in front of her, "Then... what do we do? Should we test him?"
Li Yuechan looked puzzled, "Huh? How can we test that?"
Ning Wan'er suggested, "My maid, Xiao Die, is quite pretty. What if I send her to offer herself to your brother to see if he's tempted?"
If he's tempted by the maid, then he's definitely not into men.
But Li Yuechan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "...Xiao Die is indeed pretty, but she doesn't have much of an advantage compared to those experienced women in the Outer Sect's brothels, and none of those women could move my brother's heart..."
Li Yuechan shook her head, "Moreover, we can't let this get out. If it spreads, it would harm my brother's reputation."
The two girls fell silent again.
"So what do we do now..."
It's not like we can test him ourselves, right?
Ning Wan'er and Li Yuechan looked at each other with wide eyes, and the room fell into a moment of silence.
