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

“Why do these guys treat me with such courtesy?”

The shroud of night enveloped Red Leaf Valley, silent and still.

Lanterns brightened the dark, casting light through the windows to illuminate the valley.

The Jiang Family within the valley had already fallen asleep, and the air was filled with a cold and evil aura.

This kind of aura meant that the friendly members of the Jiang Family during the day had turned into evil specters at night.

Any living person awakening them would bring about their attack.

However, Red Leaf Valley was different from other places; after nightfall, there lurked eerie and indistinct evil shadows roaming about.

These malevolent and sinister beings were controlled by the Puppet Masters within Red Leaf Valley.

Now, with the Puppet Masters asleep, these evil specters roamed the valley as if patrolling, on guard.

The Jiang Family who dealt with the evil spirits as Puppet Masters themselves did not even know that they turned into these spirits after nightfall.

Observing the Red Leaf Valley like this only added to Li Muyang’s confusion.

“Could it be because of the Princess of the Defunct Country?”

Li Muyang turned to look at the Princess of the Defunct Country beside him.

This Soulless being he had refined and controlled had the system ID of Princess of the Defunct Country.

Given this name, she must have been a princess of some nation in life, right?

Though from what he had learned along the way, there were many nations in the Ancient Resentment Well, frequently warring, and princesses were not rare.

But no matter how common, a princess was still valuable.

Even if it was a princess of a defunct country.

Li Muyang clicked to save the game and stepped out of the accommodations arranged for him by the Jiang Family.

He headed towards the middle of the valley, and the Puppet evil spirits wandering within showed no reaction upon seeing him.

Yet where Li Muyang went, the evil spirits’ aura within the sleeping houses became somewhat agitated, as if they sensed the breath of a living person.

Li Muyang tried attacking the sleeping evil spirits, and those wearing human skins unsurprisingly morphed into monsters, roaring and rushing towards him.

But before Li Muyang could act, the moment the human morphed into an evil spirit, the surrounding Puppets reacted as if stimulated, roaring as they rushed over.

A dozen or more Puppets swarmed in, rapidly tearing apart and devouring the evil spirit that had been a human.

And the other “humans” in the valley who were sleeping, were completely unaware of this.

Only Li Muyang, who witnessed everything, was silently speechless.

“The people of the Jiang Family as they sleep are also on guard against evil spirits invading, yet they do not realize that the evil spirits they guard against are themselves…”

This scene was somewhat absurd, yet also eerie.

Li Muyang reloaded his saved game and stepped out from his residence once again.

This time, he did not disturb the sleeping “evil spirits” but headed towards the direction of the Red Mountain Academic Palace.

The system map provided him with the direction.

However, when Li Muyang arrived at the most spacious land in the center of the valley, the location of the Red Mountain Academic Palace, he was unable to enter.

Outside the Red Mountain Academic Palace, many powerful Puppets with solid auras stood guard, preventing even living people from entering.

The only good news was that they did not attack living people.

But as soon as Li Muyang approached the Academic Palace, the Puppets reacted.

Seeing the strict defences of the Academic Palace, Li Muyang had no choice but to give up.

He returned to his place, chose to go afk, and then switched the game off.

Not until the next day, when the sun rose, did Li Muyang return to the game.

In early morning, with the sun just rising, Jiang Yunhe, the Academic Palace’s Libationer from the day before, was already waiting at the door.

Li Muyang walked out of the courtyard gate and saw Jiang Yunhe’s friendly smiling face.

“… As per our agreement yesterday, I’ve come to escort you to the Academic Palace.”

Under Jiang Yunhe’s guidance, Li Muyang finally entered the Red Mountain Academic Palace unobstructed.

Different from the chilly winds and vigilant defenses of the night, the daytime Red Mountain Academic Palace had no evil Puppet spirits, only various Puppet Masters coming and going.

As Jiang Yunhe walked along, nearly every Puppet Master that saw him greeted him with respectful salutes.

As the Academic Palace’s Libationer, his prestige here was very high.

Li Muyang entered the Red Mountain Academic Palace, arriving at the library filled with vast collections of books.

Rows upon rows of bookshelves stretched out into the horizon.

“This is Red Mountain Bookstore,” Jiang Yunhe said with a smile. “The collection here encompasses everything from classics to histories and philosophies. Sir, feel free to browse as you like.”

Having said that, Jiang Yunhe also called over the person in charge, the librarian, for Li Muyang to turn to should he need anything.

As Jiang Yunhe left, Li Muyang asked curiously, “Why does Jiang Libationer treat me with such courtesy? Do I have something special?”

Li Muyang’s question made Jiang Yunhe pause his departing steps slightly.

Then, turning around and sighing as he glanced at the Princess of the Defunct Country behind Li Muyang, he smiled and said, “Mr. Mu Yang’s puppet doll was an old acquaintance of our family in her lifetime.”

“She had been missing for many years, and now, fortunately, has met Mr. Mu Yang, and has escaped the Demon Path. This is indeed a stroke of fate.”

“Sir, any requests you have within the Red Leaf Valley shall be freely made, and we will try our utmost to accommodate.”

Jiang Yunhe did not conceal the reason, and revealed it outright.

Li Muyang thought to himself that it was indeed due to the Princess of the Defunct Country as suspected.

But when inquiring further about the background of the Princess of the Defunct Country, Jiang Yunhe no longer wished to discuss it, saying instead that if Li Muyang was interested, he could research it himself.

Seeing that Jiang Yunhe was not forthcoming, Li Muyang did not press further.

He entered the bookstore, and after inquiring with the librarian, made his way to the shelf containing the references he needed.

Books from yesterday that Jiang Yunhe mentioned, such as “Jiang Zi”, “Evil Suppressing Scripture”, and “Qinghe Immortal Chronicles”.

Jiang Yunhe said that these books recorded the past stories of Fairy Qinghe and Jiang Xiaoyu.

Li Muyang was eager to learn about the origins of the Jiang Family.

After finding the books he needed on the shelf, Li Muyang opened them, flipping through the pages swiftly.

His strong cultivation and concentrated Divine Soul endowed him with immense mental Power, and at this moment, Li Muyang was capable of reading ten lines in a single glance, browsing rapidly.

The thick book in his hands flipped rapidly, only pausing for a second on each page before moving to the next.

Soon, Li Muyang finished reading the relevant books.

He even found several others that mentioned the origins of the Jiang Family.

However, after reading them, his frown only deepened.

These books recorded many words and deeds of Jiang Xiaoyu and Fairy Qinghe. A lot of it was casual banter and verbal sparring between Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass during their carefree travels around the world, as described in “Lethal Wild Grass”.

The idle chit-chat and playful debates were later embellished by people of future generations, becoming insightful aphorisms noted in “Jiang Zi”.

And the so-called “Evil Suppressing Scripture” was a basic book on suppressing Evil Spirits and refining Puppets, simply mentioning that the origin of Puppet Manipulation was jointly accomplished by the sage Jiang Xiaoyu and Fairy Qinghe.

“…This is pure nonsense.”

Having read up to this point, Li Muyang essentially understood.

The so-called Puppet Manipulation Technique was most likely a secret technique realized by Little Wild Grass after becoming an immortal. She borrowed her brother’s name to let this art of Puppet Manipulation be passed down to future generations.

“What’s the point of doing this, you damn girl?”

Li Muyang was quite puzzled.

Little Wild Grass would not usually do meaningless things. Even if she wanted to glorify her brother’s name, she wouldn’t have made it so complicated, right?

Continuing to read the “Evil Suppressing Scripture” all the way to the end, Li Muyang’s expression became very grave.

At this moment, he finally understood Little Wild Grass’s intentions.

— In the concluding part of the “Evil Suppressing Scripture”, it clearly stated that Puppet Manipulation was the key to the resurrection of the Ancient True Immortal, Fairy Qinghe.

As long as the art of Puppet Manipulation against Evil Spirits was not lost, Fairy Qinghe would be resurrected after ten thousand years!

Li Muyang’s pupils sharply constricted upon reading this page.

Previously in The Peaceful Realms, he had seen Little Wild Grass’s corpse and had guessed from the situation that she could be resurrected using the statue, but it was just speculation.

Maybe the statue could only momentarily revive Little Wild Grass’s corpse?

But now, the book in his hands told him very explicitly that Little Wild Grass had found a way to resurrect and had passed it on to future generations!

This Jiang Family within the Ancient Resentment Well was the backup plan she prepared for her own resurrection!

Zhi Wei, that damn girl, had truly found herself a way to life!

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Muyang’s mouth.

“This damn girl…”

It’s truly like you to have found a way to resurrection!
