The Game with Fairies-Chapter 383
Since they were determined to return to Black Cloud Village, Xiao Yecao and Li Muyang did not stay long in Yellow Wind Valley.
They packed their bags, thanked Liu Sanniang, and bid her farewell, then visited Peach Blossom Fairyland and Yangshou Mountain once more to say goodbye to the two immortals and to inquire about the latest news.
However, the old immortal of Yangshou Mountain was not home, having gone out to visit friends.
The child left in charge was clueless and innocent, not even aware of the slaying of the North Sea Dragon King, let alone other news.
In Peach Blossom Fairyland, although the Peach Blossom Fairy was home, she was just tending to the spiritual herbs and flowers in the Fairyland.
Upon hearing of Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao’s decision to head south to Black Cloud Village, Peach Blossom Fairy sighed with emotion.
“At this point, there’s no choice but to go back.”
“Fortunately, although the power of the evil lineage is strange, they are not considered evil people of the demonic path. Your journey south might turn misfortune into a blessing.”
As she spoke, Peach Blossom Fairy took out a jade ruyi and said to Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao,
“If you happen to see the Temple Seal Lord when you go down to Black Cloud Village, please return this item to him and tell him… um…”
Peach Blossom Fairy’s eyes were complex, and she sighed, seemingly having much to say.
But when the words reached her lips, they ultimately turned into an unresolved smile.
“Never mind, there’s nothing much to say. Just returning this item to him will suffice.”
“Please take the trouble.”
Peach Blossom Fairy handed over the jade ruyi, and Xiao Yecao reached out to take it, curious.
“So the fairy knows the Temple Seal Lord?”
The Temple Seal Lord was a domineering and cruel demonic cultivator, even considered vicious among the demonic path.
Before he secluded himself with his followers in Black Cloud Village, the Temple Seal Lord had a notorious reputation in the cultivation world.
After going to Black Cloud Village, he took over the cave on the back mountain, enticing the villagers to practice demonic techniques for some scheme.
It was unexpected that such a cruel and evil figure of the demonic path had an old acquaintance with the kind-hearted Peach Blossom Fairy.
The Peach Blossom Fairy even had a treasure given by the Temple Seal Lord, which seemed like some kind of token… uh… Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao’s eyes were filled with gossip.
Peach Blossom Fairy smiled openly and shook her head,
“I do have some history with the Temple Seal Lord. When he first entered the demonic path as a young man, I saved his life.”
“To repay me for saving his life, he followed me for a while.”
“I advised him to abandon the demonic path, and when he left, he said he would give it up. He left this family heirloom jade ruyi, saying that he would come back for it after achieving success on the righteous path of immortality.”
Peach Blossom Fairy said this and shook her head again: “Now it seems there’s no need to keep the jade ruyi any longer.”
The Temple Seal Lord had delved deep into the demonic path and became increasingly malevolent.
No one knew what evil things he had concocted during his years of seclusion in Black Cloud Village.
The disappointment in Peach Blossom Fairy’s eyes was poignant.
Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao took the jade ruyi, bid farewell, and left the Peach Blossom Fairyland, heading south to Black Cloud Village.
Flying high in the sky, Li Muyang was quite emotional.
“…The Temple Seal Lord, to have such a past in the rivers and lakes.”
In his naive years when he first entered the rivers and lakes, he had a chance encounter with a gentle and kind, powerful immortal big sister, who saved him and even followed her for a while.
Such an experience was incredibly impactful.
Peach Blossom Fairy might have been the unattainable love that Temple Seal Lord had cherished in his heart for many years.
He even wanted to abandon the demonic path for her.
Unfortunately, in the end, not only did he not give up the demonic path, but he also went further down that path, becoming a notorious demon.
What happened in between is unknown, but the story must be fascinating.
When Temple Seal Lord later achieved notoriety as a great demon on the demonic path, and he looked northward, gazing at the fairy in the northern territories, what were his feelings?
Li Muyang suddenly thought of the world thousands of years later, where the Temple Seal Lord’s bone appeared in the regions of the northern counties.
This great demon, who had been working on his grand ambitions in the south, eventually died in the northern territories where Peach Blossom Fairy lived… Tsk…
I really want to know the rest of the story.
However, at this moment, Li Muyang was more concerned about the encounters on this trip south.
Granny Gu and he did not have a good relationship, but it wasn’t bad either.
What Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao needed to worry about were the Temple Seal Lord and his group of demonic cultivators. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Jiang Xiaoyu, the game character, was a villager of Black Cloud Village who followed the Temple Seal Lord in practicing demonic techniques and, by the rules, was not allowed to leave.
Once he left Black Cloud Village, that group of demonic cultivators would not let Jiang Xiaoyu go.
In the earlier stages of “Deadly Weed,” every time Li Muyang took Xiao Yecao to flee Black Cloud Village, it was always the Temple Seal Lord’s group of demonic cultivators who came to kill them, not Granny Gu.
This time, as Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao returned to Black Cloud Village, the biggest crisis was the Temple Seal Lord’s group of demonic cultivators.
But now they held the jade ruyi, a token that might make the Temple Seal Lord’s attitude a bit more favorable.
Peach Blossom Fairy was clearly also worried about Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao, which is why she gave them this token.
Apart from being disappointed with the Temple Seal Lord, she also hoped that he would not trouble Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao, considering the past when she had saved his life.
This gentle and kind Peach Blossom Fairy was indeed a very good person.
Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao were reflecting on the profound intentions behind Peach Blossom Fairy’s actions, filled with admiration.
“It’s such a pity that Peach Blossom Fairy’s good intentions were wasted on that greedy Temple Seal Lord,” Xiao Yecao sighed, looking at Li Muyang.
“If it were Elder Brother, he would surely have kept his promise and not have stood anyone up.”
“If the Temple Seal Lord had even half of Elder Brother’s sense of responsibility, perhaps there would be no demon Temple Seal Lord in the world, but rather a Temple Sealing Immortal,” Xiao Yecao lamented.
Li Muyang coughed, quickly interjecting, “That’s not necessarily true…”
Even with his thick skin, he felt a bit awkward from Xiao Yecao’s stiff flattery.
Xiao Yecao was great in many ways, but she often made these embarrassing compliments, making Li Muyang sometimes wonder if the girl was just making fun of him.
I’m just a mortal, and she, a half-step immortal, praises me daily for my supposed wisdom and valor…
Unable to handle Xiao Yecao’s habitual over-the-top praise, Li Muyang swiftly changed the subject.
As they chatted and joked, their flying lights soared over vast lands, with mountains swiftly receding in their view.
From the extreme northern regions of this world, they traveled south, eventually crossing the perennially hot equator to reach the southern end of the land.
Different from the north, where it was nearing winter with occasional snow flurries, the Myriad Great Mountains in the south were in the warm bloom of March.
The Myriad Great Mountains, covered with blooming azaleas, looked from afar like a colorful, dreamy world.
Li Muyang and Xiao Yecao landed outside the Myriad Great Mountains and entered this remote and difficult terrain on foot.
