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

The air within the inner chamber was thick with the stench of blood. Li Muyang sat by the wooden barrel, exerting all his strength to circulate his own Spiritual Power and guide the demonic blood within the barrel.

And the girl inside the barrel was letting out low cries of pain, gasping in agony as she struggled to persevere.

Cultivating the Remnant Cloud Movement Technique with high-grade demonic blood was an extraordinarily excruciating process.

Li Muyang, hoping to shorten the time needed for mastery, personally took action to help Yu Chan guide the transmutation of demonic blood, which significantly increased the girl’s pain.

Although Li Muyang was being as careful and gentle as possible in activating the demonic blood, the girl still couldn’t help crying out in pain from time to time.

“Hang in there a bit longer…”

Li Muyang clenched his teeth tightly and whispered, “It will be over soon!”

He had been sitting here with closed eyes, engaged in cultivation for nearly 24 hours.

Helping his foster sister with her cultivation turned out to be even more exhausting than tempering his own body.

The main reason was that when he cultivated himself, he could rely on the strength of his Martial God Domineering Body to withstand various pains, so the process didn’t need to be as meticulous.

But while assisting Yu Chan with her cultivation, he had to be sufficiently careful to reduce the girl’s pain as much as possible.

Yet, even so, after 24 hours of cultivation, the pain had nearly rendered the girl’s consciousness hazy.

Within the barrel, even her low breaths and occasional cries were muddled, as if she were about to faint.

Li Muyang had no choice but to repeat the same reassuring words, trying to persuade the girl to hold on a little longer with this crude placebo effect.

But soon, there was silence from the barrel.

The girl, having faint from pain, tilted her head back heavily against the barrel.

Li Muyang sighed, but thankfully, it was nearing the end, and the girl’s fainting didn’t affect anything.

He continued to run his Cultivation Technique, meticulously helping the girl finish up the process.

Finally, when all the demonic blood in the barrel was exhausted, Li Muyang took a long breath of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he stood up.

“At last… uh…”

Li Muyang, who had stood up and started speaking without thinking, had forgotten one crucial thing.

That was, at the moment when the Escape Skill was achieved, the demonic blood in the barrel would be exhausted too.

His eyes widened as if frozen by a Binding Technique, his pupils dilating massively.

Reflected in his immensely expanded eyes were the delicate curves and fair skin of the girl lying unconscious within the barrel.

On that white jade-like skin, countless blood-red, sinister magical runes were faintly visible, slowly fading away.

The scene, both stunning and eerie, held a breath-taking beauty.

Li Muyang stood still for a full three seconds before he abruptly realized the situation and immediately turned to leave.

“Didn’t see it, didn’t see it, didn’t see it!”

Chanting to himself as if under self-hypnosis, Li Muyang sat down in the outer chamber, gradually calming his emotions.

After a while, the house filled with the sounds of the girl’s exhausted and uncomfortable groans.

“Mmm… Brother?”

The girl, who had woken from her faint, seemed a bit dazed.

Li Muyang, outside the room, coughed and said with as even a tone as possible, “It’s over, you can put on your clothes and come out.”

“I’ll then teach you the method for running the Escape Technique…”

Li Muyang’s voice was extremely calm, as if nothing had happened.

The girl inside, after a moment of shock, immediately realized her situation and let out a scream.

“Ah!”

But soon, the room quieted down.

Then came a rustling sound of dressing which lasted a long time – it seemed that the girl, having woken up from a faint, had even forgotten how to put on her clothes.

But Li Muyang didn’t rush her, instead sitting quietly outside, waiting.

It was only after footsteps resounded that the girl, who had been wearing a thin dress for quite some time, came out with a slight blush on her face.

“Brother…”

With her head lowered and her hands clasped behind her back, she seemed too shy to meet Li Muyang’s eyes.

Li Muyang looked at her calmly and said, “I’ll pass on the heart-mantra to you. This Escape Technique is called ‘Remnant Cloud Movement Technique,’ accidentally acquired by me. Its power is immense, but so are its side effects.”

“After activating the Escape Skill, you will fall into a state of intense bloodthirst and must replenish fresh blood promptly.”

“The longer and faster the movement technique is used, the more fresh blood will be needed. If you can’t replenish in time, you’ll consume your own vitality and inflict serious and irreversible internal injuries.”

Li Muyang solemnly said, “You’d better prepare enough demon blood in the Qiankun Ring.”

“And the higher-quality demon blood used to refine the technique, the greater its power. Once activated, even if you replenish the blood in time, you’ll still inflict some internal damage to your body. Accumulating such injuries can become very troublesome.”

Li Muyang sighed, “Unless absolutely necessary, try not to use the Remnant Cloud Movement Technique.”

The power of this Escape Technique was enormous, but so were its flaws.

Without the system to exempt the cost, it really cannot be used lightly.

After Li Muyang passed on the mantra for operation, the girl tentatively used the newly learned Remnant Cloud Movement Technique.

In an instant, a red shadow flashed through the room.

In merely a moment, it seemed like nothing had changed in the room, yet the positions of many objects had been altered.

All in the blink of an eye.

Li Yuechan’s eyes widened in surprise, “So… so powerful, this Escape Skill!”

This was even swifter than the Immortal’s Escape Technique taught by her teacher!

But Li Muyang grabbed her head and forcefully poured a jar of demon blood into her mouth, shaking his head in resignation, “I said not to use it recklessly…”

This little girl, does she never listen?

Without struggling, the girl obediently gulped down the demon blood passed to her by her brother, blinking innocently.

“I had to… glug… try it at least once… glug… to know the approximate speed, to have a measure in my heart…”

After drinking a bowl of high-quality demon blood in large gulps, she still seemed to crave more, licking her lips and saying, “I promise not to do it next time.”

The girl blinked her innocent eyes, acting cute to Li Muyang.

Li Muyang shook his head but said nothing more.

After all, what the girl said made sense, one had to try to gauge the speed of the technique; understanding it was essential for dealing with future crises.

Just as the siblings were about to speak, the voice of a maid resounded from outside at that moment.

“Master, has Miss Yuechan finished her cultivation? Aunt Su said there’s something important and is requesting your presence…”

Hearing the maid’s voice outside, Li Muyang’s expression immediately turned serious.

“I’ll be there immediately.”

He and Yuechan had been cultivating for a day and a night, and now that 24 hours had passed, had those Demon Cultivators led by the old man with the dead leaves caught up?

Li Muyang and his sister quickly left the room and returned to the deck.

There they saw Aunt Su, her expression grave, standing at the rear of the Flying Boat, quietly looking back.

The cool moonlight sprinkled upon the land.

And in the moonlit clouds chasing behind the swiftly flying boat, there could faintly be seen eight Escaping Lights, trailing far behind them.

Looking at the pursuing Escaping Lights within the clouds, Aunt Su let out a soft sigh, saying.

“They’ve caught up…”

Gazing at the eight chasing lights behind, Aunt Su whispered, “They caught up half an hour ago.”

The worst-case scenario had finally come true.

The Demon Cultivators of the Green Sheep Society, led by the old man with dead leaves, had truly caught up with the Flying Boat.
