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

Above the icy plains, a strange silence had descended.

After the two Immortals' heartfelt blow missed its mark, they instantly lost track of their enemy's target.

Little Wild Grass covered her heart, terrified.

"That thing looked at me with such an odd gaze!"

Little Wild Grass, who was always ethereal and detached, playing the game of the mortal world, now felt an unusual restlessness.

She turned to Li Muyang, asking anxiously, "Big brother, did you hear what that thing said before it left? I feel like it treated us... differently."

It wasn't just her, on the verge of becoming an Immortal, whom the peculiar gaze had treated differently; that strange attention had also fallen on the big brother beside her.

Yet her big brother was just an ordinary mortal, who, despite having the power of an Ancient Evil lineage, had no cultivation to speak of...

Why would such a brother attract the attention of such a villain?

Little Wild Grass looked uneasy.

As peace returned to the snowy expanse at the ends of the earth and the figure who had slain the North Sea Dragon Lord vanished into thin air, the Peach Blossom Fairy and the Old Immortal, both True Immortals, were unable to find their target.

After a moment's hesitation, Little Wild Grass swiftly flew upward with Li Muyang.

"Two Immortals..."

Little Wild Grass inquired, "That villain said something as he departed, did you clearly hear what he said?"

Little Wild Grass was deeply concerned about this.

She feared the emergence of an enemy she could not resist, coming to kill her big brother; she was terrified that the dragon-slaying villain had set his sights on him.

However, after she finished speaking, the two Immortals looked at her and Li Muyang with a strange gaze.

The massive body of the dragon lay flaccidly to one side while the winds and snows of the world gradually dissipated, but the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be growing thicker.

At that moment, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Finally, the Peach Blossom Fairy was the first to speak.

This kind-hearted, gentle and friendly fairy, now unusually without a smile, stood beside the corpse of the North Sea Dragon Lord, her expression filled with sorrow.

After a soft sigh, the Peach Blossom Fairy said to Little Wild Grass,

"...The words of that villain before he departed were very strange."

She looked at Little Wild Grass and began to speak, but halfway through, the Old Immortal suddenly interjected.

"Two presumed dead, yet not dead? Ominous..."

The voice of the Old Immortal suddenly turned sharp and gloomy, with a hint of mockery and surprise.

It seemed as if he had become someone else in the moment he spoke.

But both Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass understood that the Old Immortal had perfectly imitated what the villain had said before departing.

"Two presumed dead..."

Li Muyang's face changed drastically.

As a game player, he was all too familiar with the meaning of those words.

In the original timeline, Little Wild Grass had been an orphan abducted to Black Cloud Fort and presumed dead long ago.

And the body he controlled was likewise destined to die young.

It was only because of the presence of the game system that he had changed Little Wild Grass's destiny.

But in the past, despite visiting so many Immortals and hermits, none had seen through this.

Yet today...

Li Muyang's face turned grim, while Little Wild Grass's showed shock.

"Two presumed dead?"

She looked at the two Immortals in astonishment, then down at herself.

Above the snowy plains, the dark clouds gathered more and more densely, becoming ever thicker and more numerous.

Within those thick, pitch-black clouds, a barely discernible aura of brutal, intense malevolence could be felt, sending shivers down one's spine.

The two True Immortals witnessing this scene sighed and shook their heads.

"Let's leave... It's not suitable to stay here for long."

When Immortals perish, the heavens and earth mourn together.

Spectacular auroras appeared between the sea and the sky, where strands of colorful light scattered down, and the carcasses of the giant dragons on the snowy plains were continuously decomposed and dissipated.

In the end, the massive body of the thousand-zhang-long dragon transformed into a vast and majestic Spiritual Energy storm, which spread out from the place of the North Sea Dragon Lord's demise as its center, enveloping the entire world.

At this moment, almost every inch of land under the heavens was shrouded in dark clouds.

Blood rained down from the sky, while countless creatures on earth felt an ominous trepidation, from the beasts in the mountains and the fish in the waters to the humans in the wilderness and the cities, all inexplicably filled with sorrow.

Many people wept.

Already far from the snowy plains, the four flew back to land. In the constantly drifting blood rain from the sky, the old Immortal's face was etched with sorrow as he said,

"The North Sea Dragon Lord died so tragically..."

The Peach Blossom Immortal sighed bitterly, "…The assailant was incredibly strange and formidable. We don't even know how it appeared, or how it vanished."

The two Immortals had just witnessed a neighbor, who had also established a cave dwelling in the North Land, perish before their eyes; even as Immortals, they couldn't help but feel deeply moved at this moment.

What was most terrifying was that concerning this fierce and formidable mysterious assailant, the two Immortals couldn't identify its origin.

They had never seen or heard of this person before.

It truly seemed as if it had emerged out of thin air, leaving not a trace to be found, defying all reason.

The old Immortal sighed, "I shall visit an old friend to inquire whether anyone is aware of this assailant's information."

A True Immortal Dragon Lord had been so swiftly and cleanly slaughtered.

Such news truly disquieted everyone.

The two Immortals said their farewells on the journey home, parting ways with Li Muyang and the others.

The news of the North Sea Dragon Lord's slaughter was enough to make any Immortal wary.

Little Wild Grass, feeling unsettled, brought Li Muyang back to Yellow Wind Valley, where they were greeted by Liu San Niang of the valley.

Over the past half-year, Liu San Niang had been consulting the ancient texts of her clan in an attempt to find a cure for Jiang Xiaoyu.

But today, she finally had to admit, with resignation, that she was helpless against the spiritual contamination of the Ancient Evil God.

Now, Li Muyang's only chance of survival, perhaps, was to go to Black Cloud Fort and pray that Granny Valley could save him.

Little Wild Grass was briefly silent upon hearing this.

But the next second, she nodded decisively without hesitation.

"Big Brother, let's go back to Black Cloud Fort,"

Little Wild Grass said to Li Muyang, "I've been away from the fort for so many years; I miss Granny Valley and the others there."

Although she was not a native of Black Cloud Fort, Little Wild Grass had grown up freely and lived there for many years.

Now she had made up her mind to accompany Li Muyang back to Black Cloud Fort.

To this decision, Li Muyang could only sigh.

Logically, he felt that returning to Black Cloud Fort was a trap that might lead to trouble.

But the way the plot had developed, the system left him no choice.

It was clear that they had to return to Black Cloud Fort; without going back, the plot couldn't proceed.

"Then let's go back and see."

Li Muyang gave a resigned smile and turned to look in the southwest direction.

In those vast southern mountains, in the remote corners of the territories of the future Tianyuan Dynasty, there lay a mysterious village that sealed many Ancient Evil Gods.

And he and Little Wild Grass had just barely managed to escape from there.

After all the twists and turns, they now had to return.

The only consolation was that Little Wild Grass, unlike in the past, was now only one step away from becoming an Immortal.

On this return trip, aside from the mysterious and inscrutable Granny Valley, the Temple-Sealing Lord and his group of Demon Cultivators, who had once made Li Muyang's life incredibly difficult, shouldn't be a threat anymore... right?
