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

In the dimly lit courtyard by the lake, the air fell silent for a moment.

Li Muyang cast a glance at the spirited, masculine-dressed woman before him, furrowing his brows slightly.

Lately, he had been busy cracking down on the followers of the Blood Lotus Cult and had almost forgotten about the affairs of Chaotic Soul Valley.

After all, before the crackdown on the Blood Lotus Cult, the old Valley Master of Chaotic Soul Valley had already knelt and surrendered, retrieving his daughter from the prison.

Since her release, the young Valley Mistress of Chaotic Soul Valley and her father had been quiet and inconspicuous for the past month.

Li Muyang, a middle-ranking member of the Demon Sect, didn't have the opportunity to interact with her on normal days and had almost forgotten about her.

Yet, to his surprise, they met again at this victory banquet.

And she even took the initiative to strike up a conversation...

Li Muyang felt that something was amiss.

But upon hearing Li Muyang's questioning, the woman chuckled coldly.

She scrutinized Li Muyang from head to toe as though sizing up a corpse.

"Master Li, I said I would remember you."

"I greatly appreciate the care you've shown me during my time in prison. If there's a chance in the future, I will certainly repay your kindness and not disappoint you," she said.

Having said that, the woman left with a cold laugh.

Her strange attitude left Li Muyang frozen.

What is going on with this madwoman... You're that bold?

It was bad enough that she made such an unexpected and confrontational appearance, but then she left behind such a veiled threat... What is this woman trying to do?

Something is not right!

Totally not right!

This madwoman's confidence surely doesn't stem from insanity — even madness has its own principles!

After pondering with furrowed brows for a moment, Li Muyang left the courtyard and headed towards the inner court.

By this time, the victory banquet had entered its latter half, with guests and hosts intermingling in a lively atmosphere.

Ning Wan'er and her younger sister, Li Yuechan, were in the inner court, where Ning Wan'er had gathered some female disciples and the ladies of Tianjiao City officials. The girls were happily sipping tea and sharing amusing stories.

While the men of the front hall were making a ruckus, the inner court was filled with the laughter of the women.

Until Li Muyang's abrupt arrival disrupted the merriment.

Li Muyang, dressed in a white robe, might not have had a notable reputation, but among the maids standing by the gate, there was Ning Wan'er's personal maid, Xiao Die.

This maid was very clear about the status and identity of Li Muyang and his siblings and dared not neglect him.

She hurried over and asked with surprise, "Master Li, what brings you here in such a hurry?"

Li Muyang stood outside the courtyard door, listening to the lighthearted laughter of the women inside, and spoke solemnly.

"Please inform Sister Ning, I have an urgent matter to discuss and would trouble her to step out for a moment," he said.

Seeing Li Muyang's grave expression, Xiao Die also did not dare to delay.

She quickly turned and entered the inner court, and the laughter of the women inside suddenly ceased.

Soon after, the figure of Ning Wan'er appeared in view.

She approached Li Muyang with Li Yuechan and her personal maid Xiao Die, wearing a look of surprise.

"Muyang, what is it that you have to say?" she asked.

Ning Wan'er was somewhat puzzled.

Now that everything in Tianjiao City was settled, the Demon Sect had emerged completely victorious, the followers of the Blood Lotus Cult were all imprisoned, and the Ancient Immortal Artifact had been successfully confiscated... What could there possibly be that was so important that it required an urgent consultation?

In a gaze filled with confusion, Ning Wan'er watched as Li Muyang quickly walked to one side, making sure that only he, Li Yuechan, and Ning Wan'er along with her maid were left.

Li Muyang then recounted the events he had just experienced.

Upon hearing this, both Ning Wan'er and Li Yuechan frowned in concern.

To sense something amiss just because the minor Valley Master of Chaotic Soul Valley uttered some threatening words... To be honest, Li Muyang's behavior was a bit neurotic.

Too much like seeing enemies in every shadow.

But Ning Wan'er and Li Yuechan did have some understanding of that minor Valley Master of Chaotic Soul Valley.

Though her actions were wildly arrogant and insane, she was not a brainless madwoman. The fact that she chose such an auspicious day to provoke Li Muyang, and with such confidence, didn't seem like a baseless act…

After pondering with a frown, Ning Wan'er said, "Could it be that this minor Valley Master really cannot swallow her pride and intends to seek private retaliation?"

Before Li Muyang could speak, Li Yuechan shook her head and said, "I fear it's not that she wants to retaliate privately, but that the entire Chaotic Soul Valley cannot swallow their pride..."

This time, the minor Valley Master of Chaotic Soul Valley caused uproar in Tianjiao City, slaughtering all the Demon Sect Officials in the Office of Music, which was a serious offense against the Demon Sect's laws.

Moreover, although Chaotic Soul Valley was powerful, its strength was limited, and the Demon Sect could put them in their place without serious consequences.

The Demon Sect took this opportunity to bleed Chaotic Soul Valley dry, slicing off several chunks of flesh with great severity.

And with the loss of three city territories and such a heavy price paid, it was impossible for Chaotic Soul Valley to be without resentment.

But on the Demon Path, it is the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. Chaotic Soul Valley was weak and gave others leverage; Refinement Demon Sect taking advantage during their misfortune was considered natural and justified.

Even if the Demon Sect bullies you, what can you do? Does Chaotic Soul Valley dare to rebel?

If Chaotic Soul Valley were to rebel, the Demon Sect might be even happier.

After all, the flesh, tendons, bones, and even souls of Demon Path cultivators are all high-quality materials for refining demons!

Exterminating a Chaotic Soul Valley, the Sect would not know how many benefits it could reap.

Theoretically, Chaotic Soul Valley should not dare to rebel.

But that is only in theory.

Upon hearing Li Yuechan's reminder, Ning Wan'er's eyes suddenly grew sharp.

"Does Chaotic Soul Valley dare to be so brazen?"

The old Valley Master of Chaotic Soul Valley was only in the Spirit Travel Realm and did not possess any top-tier demonic cultivation techniques.

He simply did not have the qualifications or the ability to rebel!

Yet, Li Muyang slowly said, "I remember Chaotic Soul Valley had contact with the followers of the Blood Lotus Sect before."

"And this time, the conspiracy of the Blood Lotus Sect was thwarted too easily..."

Li Muyang had felt something was odd all along.

The Blood Lotus Sect, a notorious force in this world, stirring up trouble in the territory of the Refinement Demon Sect, and even bringing out an Ancient Immortal Artifact.

Yet, with just Yan Xiaoru and the City Lord of Tianjiao City, two in the Spirit Travel Realm, the Demon Sect managed to thwart the conspiracy of the Blood Lotus Sect and successfully captured the Ancient Immortal Artifact.

——If the Blood Lotus Sect was so weak, how could it possibly cause such headaches for the various powers in both the immortal and demonic paths!?

That's an Ancient Immortal Artifact; the Refinement Demon Sect facing such a level of treasure would have all elders out in force, fearful of the slightest mishap.

Yet the Blood Lotus Sect only dispatched a single Spirit Travel Realm master to take charge of the affairs in Tianjiao City... Now looking back, everything seemed amiss.

Ning Wan'er's expression changed slightly, "Could it be that the Blood Lotus Sect and Chaotic Soul Valley had colluded long ago, and the easy breakdown of the Blood Lotus Sect is part of their scheme?"

The specifics of the conspiracy were unclear, but the situation indeed seemed odd.

As everything linked together, Ning Wan'er couldn't help feeling anxious.

"I'll go meet with Master and inform her of this matter!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Although the likelihood of Chaotic Soul Valley and the Blood Lotus Sect truly conspiring together and setting a trap was low, they could not be careless.
