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

The first ray of dawn pierced through the dark canopy of the sky.

The moist vapor carried by the wind scattered a milky white mist over Star Moon Lake.

The boatman steered his small boat out of the fog, loudly chanting the song of the waters, and rocked the oar at the stern. Between the ripples of water, the small boat followed the current and moved forward.

If it had been any other place in the North Land, no one would have dared to enter the lake at this hour when the dawn was about to break and the night had just lifted.

At such a time, one was very likely to encounter malevolent beings by the water.

But Star Moon Lake was different.

The lake was rich in aquatic products, yet there had never been any malevolent beings harming people in its waters.

Boatman Hu Lao San sang his boisterous ballad and said with a smile to his passengers, “Don’t fret, my boat is incredibly fast. In no more than half an hour, I will have both of you safely across to Pingyao City on the other side of the lake.”

The two merchants from the south forced a smile.

Although the boatman boasted with deafening confidence that there were absolutely no malevolent beings in Star Moon Lake, they were well aware of the dangers lurking within.

And there was the fearless boatman, still off-key in his bragging about the speed of his boat and the safety of Star Moon Lake.

“… I’ve heard that the Dragon Goddess of our Jade Water River has her Dragon Palace Water Mansion right here in Star Moon Lake!”

The boatman declared loudly, “It’s precisely because the Dragon Goddess presides over the bottom of the lake that no malevolent creatures dare to come here.”

While the boatman spoke of these rumors he had heard along the grapevine, the merchants paid him no heed.

They just sat beside the boat, silently surveying the lake’s misty surface, tense and apprehensive, as if they worried something might suddenly emerge from the water.

Seeing their anxious expressions, Hu Lao San shook his head and reassured them, “You don’t need to worry, guests. As I’ve said, there’s absolutely no danger on Star Moon Lake! Otherwise, Hu Lao San wouldn’t dare to take on this job!”

Hu Lao San exclaimed loudly.

However, no sooner had his words fallen than the lake around the small boat suddenly began to tremble violently.

What had been calm waters were now pitching and tossing as though caught in a storm.

There was only a light breeze above the lake, so what could be causing such fierce waves?

Hu Lao San was startled and quickly grabbed the oar, saying, “What’s happening, what’s happening?”

The sudden abnormality had the boatman speaking out of turn.

In his understanding, there should be no evil creatures on Star Moon Lake!

However, the two passengers, who had been afraid and anxious, now seemed less fearful upon witnessing the violent disturbance on the surface of the lake.

They exchanged looks, surprise evident in their eyes.

The boatman was merely mortal, but they were different.

They could clearly sense a burst of enormously strong malevolent energy explode and then disappear abruptly in the waters of the lake.

The thick malevolent aura that hung over Star Moon Lake also faded significantly with the disappearance of the source of that energy.

Just as the two “merchants from the south” were about to speak, a streak of white suddenly surfaced from beneath the water.

The next second, Hu Lao San at the stern widened his eyes in panic and excitement, and knelt down, frantically kowtowing on the boat.

“The Dragon Goddess! It really is the Dragon Goddess!”

Hu Lao San was thrilled with joy, his kowtowing making a loud thumping sound on the deck.

The massive shadow that swam beneath the water was already moving away.

But the commotion from Hu Lao San’s fervent kowtowing seemed to have caught Its attention.

The gigantic shadow in the water surged upwards abruptly, a pristine white and colossal dragon’s body violently breaking the surface, creating countless splashes.

Amid the spray of lake water into the air, the huge dragon head looked down coldly at the three people in the boat.

The pale dragon scales slightly shimmered with the colors of dawn under the sunlight, but the normally exquisitely beautiful scales were now marred with several long, sharp wounds, from which blood was continuously seeping out.

Kneeling on the boat and desperately kowtowing, Old Hu San did not see this scene, but the two merchants behind him saw everything clearly.

They watched the flood dragon in front of them with shock, directly facing its huge dragon head and cold gaze, the two of them were actually trembling for a moment, unable to utter a single word.

Fortunately, the flood dragon only looked at them twice before coldly turning around and diving into the water.

Watching the flood dragon enter the water and leave, the huge scene left the boatman, Old Hu San, both excited and delighted.

“Dragon Goddess! Star Moon Lake truly is the Dragon Goddess’s palace!”

For someone like him who made a living on Star Moon Lake, this news couldn’t be better.

With the Dragon Goddess here, what petty thief would dare to cause trouble?

He excitedly got up and said to the two guests behind him, “Gentlemen, I told you…”

However, Old Hu San’s excited boasting was abruptly cut short.

He turned around and saw an exceedingly terrifying sight.

The two guests, who spoke with a southern accent, were now rapidly shriveling within the mist, eventually transforming into two thin paper figures.

In Old Hu San’s horrified gaze, these two paper figures shook and actually began to drift with the wind towards the direction of the Dragon Goddess, rapidly disappearing into the mist.

Seeing this scene, Old Hu San’s legs went weak.

“I picked up two paper figures?!”

He fell to the ground with a thud, his face so white that it lost all traces of blood.

After a long while, he finally came to a sudden realization and hurriedly got up to kowtow desperately in the direction the Dragon Goddess had left.

“Thank you, Dragon Goddess, for saving my life! Thank you, Dragon Goddess, for saving my life!”

Those two paper figures had followed him all along, but after seeing the Dragon Goddess, they suddenly revealed their true form and were even taken away by the Dragon Goddess… The Dragon Goddess clearly saved him!

Old Hu San immediately felt a rush of gratitude, desperately kowtowing.

And in the depths of the mist of Star Moon Lake, the hundred-meter-long massive flood dragon moved through the water.

He paid no attention to the commotion behind him.

But the voice of the Biting Moon Flood Dragon echoed in his ears.

“Li Muyang…”

The voice of the dragoness was somewhat hesitant, “Those two people on the boat… they don’t seem to be alive?”

Li Muyang moved through the water, nodding in response, “Right, they are not alive. But there’s no need to mind them, they have no bloodthirsty aura, have not harmed anyone, and are not evil beings.”

As Li Muyang spoke, he bared his teeth in the water.

He had battled thousands of malevolent spirits in the evil den beneath the lake all night long, relying on the power of the heavenly fire and the toughness of dragon scales to keep devouring the horde of spirits.

He ultimately killed every last one of them by force, swallowing the mass emitting a bleak green cold light from that odd corpse.

Now the Experience Points were soaring rapidly, the contribution from that odd corpse far beyond imagination.

But because of the all-night battle, Li Muyang had sustained serious injuries, and now he needed to find a secluded place on land to recover.

Moreover, his game time was almost up, and he would soon have to log off.

Therefore, although he sensed something odd about those two individuals on the boat, he chose not to pay them any mind.

For him, the priority right now was to consume evil beings to level up and figure out how to eliminate the threat posed by wandering deities.

However, after Li Muyang swam out for quite a distance, he suddenly detected two cold presences following far behind him.

The Biting Moon Flood Dragon was somewhat surprised.

“Those two things are following us!”
