The Game with Fairies-Chapter 386

“Damn it!”

Li Muyang, opening his eyes in the quiet room, still felt a phantom pain in his chest.

“What happened to the misleading illusions? Why are there direct attacks on the body?”

If it were just illusions, Li Muyang wouldn’t be afraid.

The seductive voices, persuasive sounds, and the many terrifying illusions he encountered along the way couldn’t confuse Li Muyang.

As a gamer, he had a god’s-eye view. No matter how immersive the game, it was still just a game.

Li Muyang wasn’t afraid of dying—after all, he could just reload the save if he died.

So, no matter how real and frightening the illusions seemed, Li Muyang walked forward without hesitation.

In reality, seeing a bottomless abyss would scare someone standing beside it.

But in a game, seeing a bottomless abyss would only make one want to jump down to test how high the cliff was.

So, those voices using Jiang Xiaoyu’s relatives and friends to mislead and confuse Li Muyang were ineffective.

But unexpectedly, when these things couldn’t trick him, they resorted to sneak attacks.

Rubbing his chest in frustration, Li Muyang reloaded the game save.

This time, Granny Gu’s illusion appeared again.

Li Muyang ignored Granny Gu and instead coldly lowered his head to watch the ground.

Indeed, the moment Granny Gu’s illusion appeared, at the edge of the dim green light from the oil lamp, a white shadow slithered across the ground towards Li Muyang like a snake.

The white shadow moved with extreme speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had climbed onto his right foot.

【You died. Game Over】

“Damn it! Again!”

Unwilling to accept defeat, Li Muyang rubbed his chest and restarted the game, loading his saved progress.

These monsters were indeed unpredictable and difficult to guard against, but Li Muyang was protected by his ability to load saved games.

The more these monsters tried to disgust him with their tricks, the more they ignited Li Muyang’s competitive spirit.

It didn’t matter if he died once or ten times.

As long as he got one opportunity, he would scatter their ashes!

Li Muyang, becoming more determined as he lost, fought more fiercely and lost even more.

Fortunately, this was a single-player game, and he could keep starting over from saved games, slowly making progress.

If it had been an online game, Li Muyang would probably have been furious by now.

He struggled in the game for a full two days and nights, failing countless times.

But ultimately, Li Muyang, enduring the eerie voices and illusions, holding the oil lamp, successfully reached the end of this dark world—a plain full of blooming flowers.

In the night sky hung a dark red crescent moon.

The ground was covered with lush grass, and statue-like shadows were scattered among the flowers and grass, motionless.

As Li Muyang stepped onto this grassland holding the oil lamp, the surrounding darkness completely receded, and all the disturbing voices vanished.

Even the cold and evil aura of the Ancient Grudge Well disappeared completely here.

Standing on this land with the oil lamp, Li Muyang was full of doubt and almost thought it was another illusion.

But the system prompt that popped up was undeniably clear.

【You have arrived at the Ancestral Spirit Garden】

This was the resting place of the souls of ancestors from the Ancient Evil Lineage.

The silent figures standing among the flowers and grass were all descendants of the Ancient Evil Lineage.

Although their bodies were gone and their lives had ended, their souls were resting here in a very special way.

The air was filled with a clean and pure aura, and it seemed that a tremendous power was looming beneath this land rich with flowers and grass.

Although the Spirit Garden was not very large, it was the sleeping souls on this plain that sealed the many ancient evil gods beneath the ancestral temple, preventing them from entering the world to wreak havoc.

However, as Li Muyang stepped onto this land holding the oil lamp, he frowned slightly.

In the seemingly vibrant Ancestral Spirit Garden, beneath the lush grass and flowers, there were faint cracks spreading across the ground.

These cracks extended throughout the Spirit Garden and continued far beyond its edges.

“…Has the seal here loosened?”

Li Muyang’s heart chilled, sensing something was wrong.

Could the dark turmoil really be caused by the breaking of the seal beneath the ancestral temple, allowing the evil gods to enter the human world?

The earth’s changes made Li Muyang uneasy.

At that moment, the hoarse voice that had guided him before spoke up again.

“Rather than worrying about the loosening of the seal, you should be more concerned about yourself, shouldn’t you?”

A breeze blew by, and a figure seemed to appear in front of Li Muyang.

This figure was transparent, with only a vague outline visible in the air, and no physical form to be seen.

But its voice was hoarse and aged, like that of a kind old grandmother.

“You little rascal, I’ve been watching you all along. You’re quite the odd one.”

“Why do I feel that you don’t seem like one of our descendants? Yet, within your bloodline, there is clearly our power…”

The hoarse voice was puzzled. But the next second, she shook her head and said,

“Well, since you’ve passed the test and arrived here, according to the rules of the Evil Lineage, you will be granted one wish.”

“Within the scope of the rules, your wish will be fulfilled… You little rascal, what do you seek from us?”

In Li Muyang’s view, a system dialogue box popped up.

【Ask her to save me from my illness immediately!】

【Can one wish be fulfilled? Can they help Xiao Yecao become immortal? Xiao Yecao has been stuck at this level for too long. The old immortal said her obsession is not gone, and she may never become immortal in this life… Even if my illness is cured, I will only live a few more decades, but if Xiao Yecao could become immortal…】

Faced with the two options, Li Muyang was slightly stunned. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

There are such choices?

Logically, he came here to cure his illness, so it would make sense to choose the first option.

But the second option popped up at this moment, and its text was so long… It seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Most importantly, there was a red system prompt below the two options.

【Note: Once this choice is confirmed, the current game phase will proceed to reward calculation, and the subsequent 5th stage of the story will also change based on this choice. Please choose carefully!】

The red prompt from the system made Li Muyang pause.

Can’t save the game for this choice?

After choosing, it will directly calculate the reward and jump to the 5th stage?

Damn… This seems like a lot of information.

Choosing the first option is clearly about self-preservation, saving one’s own life first.

The second option, however, means giving up Jiang Xiaoyu’s only chance to survive to help Xiao Yecao become immortal.

The content of the 5th stage of the game will change depending on whether Xiao Yecao becomes immortal or not.

To be honest, Li Muyang is not the type to sacrifice himself for others.

If it were real life, he might not give up his chance to live, even if his life was already half over.

But this isn’t real life, it’s just a game!

Option one, Jiang Xiaoyu lives, Xiao Yecao loses the chance to become immortal.

Option two, Jiang Xiaoyu loses the chance to be cured, but Xiao Yecao can become immortal… So what’s there to hesitate about?

Of course, help Xiao Yecao become immortal.

Li Muyang unhesitatingly chose the second option and said to the transparent figure in front of him,

“Ancestral grandmother, a friend of mine was about to become immortal over a decade ago, but she has been unable to take that final step until now.”

“Some immortals say that if she can’t resolve her inner conflicts and obsessions, she may never become immortal in this life.”

“I don’t quite understand her inner conflicts and obsessions and want to help her. Ancestral grandmother, can you help my friend become immortal?”

Li Muyang was full of sincerity.

However, the transparent figure was slightly surprised after hearing his words.

“Your friend… become immortal?”

The transparent figure looked at Li Muyang in amazement and said,

“You little rascal, didn’t you come here to seek healing? You’re on the brink of death, with only a few years left to live, yet you want to give away your hard-earned only wish to someone else, to help them become immortal?”

The transparent figure shook its head and said, “You little rascal, you fancy that girl outside, don’t you?”

Li Muyang just chuckled and didn’t argue.

The transparent figure continued,

“It’s possible, indeed. The wish-granting power of the Evil Lineage clan can fulfill your wish and help her forcibly cross that boundary to ascend and become an immortal.”

“But you need to think this through. If you give your chance to her, then there will be no one else in this world who can save you!”

“Don’t regret it later!”

The transparent figure warned Li Muyang.

To this, Li Muyang just chuckled and said, “No worries, granny, please just help my friend become an immortal.”

After all, Jiang Xiaoyu has been dead for ten thousand years.

It doesn’t matter if he’s dead.

But if Xiao Yecao becomes an immortal… she’s the game’s main female character that he’s been nurturing for over a year in real time!

It’s like raising a daughter from a young age to adulthood.

The essence of this nurturing game is to help Xiao Yecao become an immortal.

Li Muyang hasn’t forgotten this.

He chuckled and said, “As long as Xiao Yecao becomes an immortal, it doesn’t matter if I, Jiang Xiaoyu, die.”
