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

“In the eyes of outsiders, you only appeared as if you had a serious illness and suddenly became mute, recognizing no one.”

“But luckily, after we taught you for a while, you learned to speak and began to recognize relatives at home and people in the village…”

The eerie past recounted by Li Damu and his wife subtly altered Li Muyang’s expression.

He had imagined many possibilities and envisioned numerous scenarios.

But he had never expected the truth to be like this.

In the countryside of Jiuyuan City under the rule of the Refinement Demon Sect, there was actually a Fox Immortal hiding in the wilderness, possessing incredible power beyond ordinary people’s comprehension.

If everything Li Damu and his wife said was true, then could it be…

“I was sent by the Fox?” Li Muyang’s face changed slightly as he murmured to himself: “But there is no trace of demonic blood in me!”

Indeed, some unkempt little demons would disguise a child and leave it for humans to raise, and once the child grew a bit, it would awaken its nature, devour its foster parents, and flee into the wilderness.

But he had been raised by Li Damu and his wife for over a decade, never once experiencing an awakening of his beastly nature, and even joined the Refinement Demon Sect as a usual human, becoming a disciple.

—If he really had the bloodline of a demon, it would have been impossible for him to join the Refinement Demon Sect.

The Refinement Demon Sect’s screening and scrutiny of its disciples was incredibly meticulous.

Moreover, Li Muyang was no longer a novice; he at least possessed the cultivation of the Divine Skills Realm.

If he truly had demon blood, he would have discovered it long ago.

But if he wasn’t of demon descent, then what was his origin?

What exactly was this Fox Immortal?

Such a strange and mysterious way of acting…

Li Muyang frowned and asked, “You said that asking the Fox Immortal for help would cost us. What did it take from you in exchange for saving my life, such a great favor?”

Dealing with demons is most terrifying and dangerous.

Some wild demons indeed help people, but often their demands and the prices they ask are too steep for ordinary people to afford.

Li Damu and his wife asked this Fox Immortal to save their son, and the Fox Immortal gave them a healthy child.

Such a great favor, the cost must be incredibly high, almost unthinkable.

Yet the life of Li Damu and his wife afterward seemed unaffected.

Not only did they both live healthily to this day, but Li Damu even achieved a small success in martial arts and secured a position in Jiuyuan City, their family’s life getting better and better…

Seeing Li Muyang’s puzzled and probing gaze, Li Damu and his wife exchanged a glance.

After a moment’s hesitation, Mrs. Liu said, “We’ve already said so much, let’s tell him everything…”

“Mu Yang is not a child anymore, telling him won’t hurt.”

Mrs. Liu said so.

Li Damu was silent for a moment, then he nodded and turned to Li Muyang, saying, “The second month after the Fox Immortal sent you to our home, that day I went to the city to buy some items. On the way back, I had a couple of extra drinks, which delayed me, and it was dark by the time I was walking home.”

“I was walking alone in the woods, and suddenly I heard someone calling my name ahead.”

“The voice was sharp and strange, I had never heard it before, I didn’t know who it was.”

“It wasn’t until I got closer that I realized it was a group of foxes.”

“There were foxes with white fur, yellow fur, and even some with red fur… a total mess, perhaps dozens or hundreds, all crowded under an old locust tree.”

“I was utterly terrified when I saw this scene unfold and sobered up instantly, my only thought was to run away.”

“But then that voice spoke up again. It told me that it had come to collect its payment.”

“It saved my son, so it demanded that I save its daughter.”

“It wanted to leave its daughter at my house for me to raise. Once the daughter grew up, it would return to take her away…”

“After the voice finished speaking, the cluster of foxes under the old locust tree all started to laugh shrilly and then scattered in all directions, some even leaping across my face and shoulders.”

“I was so frightened that I didn’t dare to move, and only after all the foxes had disappeared did I see a swaddle under the old locust tree with a small white-haired fox sleeping inside.”

“The little fox was sleeping soundly, looking like it had just been born not long ago, its fur still damp.”

“When I picked it up for a closer look, I found that under the moonlight, the fur on the small fox gradually disappeared and even its ears turned into the form of a human.”

“In just the blink of an eye, it transformed from a fuzzy little fox cub into a human baby!”

Li Damu finished his story.

Li Muyang’s face changed dramatically: “Then this baby is…”

“Exactly, it’s Yu Chan,” Mrs. Liu said faintly: “After your father brought her home, we found a longevity lock in her swaddle, engraved with the name Yu Chan. We consulted the literate folk in the village to decipher the name.”

“So, your father told everyone that this was the daughter of his sworn brother given to him on his deathbed, and that he intended to raise her by his side.”

“But actually, your father has never gone outside to explore by then and didn’t have any sworn brothers…”

After hearing the story under the candlelight, Li Muyang slowly raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

The stories he heard tonight were explosively informative.

Not only is his own origin a mystery, but even his adopted sister Li Yuechan’s origins are so bizarre.

This girl…is not a human, but the daughter of a Fox Devil?

Holy shit!

What kind of Fox Devil is this powerful, giving birth to a daughter completely devoid of beastly nature, able to grow up safely in the human world and even slip through the screening of the Refinement Demon Sect to join effortlessly?

Wait…maybe it’s not that the Fox Devil’s bloodline is powerful.

Li Muyang suddenly thought of something.

That is, when Yu Chan joined the Refinement Demon Sect, she was already a disciple of the Corpse Immortal.

She took the Corpse Immortal with her to the Refinement Demon Sect.

She might have fooled the Refinement Demon Sect not because of the Fox Devil’s powerful bloodline, but because the Corpse Immortal might have covertly helped to conceal her…

Li Muyang’s face rapidly shifted hues, the information he received tonight was overwhelmingly explosive, nearly frying his CPU.

Mostly, he couldn’t comprehend how a Fox Immortal hiding in a rural area of Jiuyuan City could have such capabilities.

Initially thought to be a minor demon deceiving naive souls in the countryside, but from what Li Damu and his wife described, this Fox Devil is no ordinary fiend.

The divine skills and mana it displayed simply surpassed Li Muyang’s imagination.

Based on what Li Muyang knows about devils, even a powerful devil of the Purple Mansion Realm might not possess such strength, right?

Killing a two-year-old child and then creating a flawless, brand-new child to replace it…how the hell is that done?

“When this affair is settled, I need to make another trip to Jiuyuan City to investigate this matter…”

Li Muyang said with a solemn expression.

His intuition wasn’t wrong; his origins indeed involved major complexities.

This Fox Immortal is no ordinary demon, undoubtedly having a terrifying background.
