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

Chapter 78: Chapter 78 The Era of Mythology

"Brother? Why do you seem so restless?"

At dinner, Li Yuechan curiously looked at her elder brother and asked.

At that moment, Li Muyang's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, as if he was pondering some significant matter.

For her reclusive brother, who seemed to care about nothing, it was rare to see him looking so serious.

Li Muyang, hearing his sister's voice, looked up in surprise and said, "You didn't join Elder Sister Ning for dinner tonight?"

Ning Wan'er, who had become a Direct Disciple after entering the Inner Sect, was now a branch too high for Li Muyang and the others to reach.

All Outer Sect Disciples had to respectfully address Ning Wan'er as "Elder Sister."

In the days since they had emerged, Li Yuechan was often invited by Ning Wan'er to dine and chat together, sometimes even staying the night, sleeping in the same bed as if they were close sisters.

Many envied Li Yuechan for this treatment.

After all, it was akin to being noticed by a Direct Disciple, practically equating to a meteoric rise.

For this very reason, Li Muyang had been bothered by many people these days.

Every Outer Sect Disciple on the Flying Boat was a social climber, each one looking to rise up. In their eyes, having a connection to Direct Disciple Ning Wan'er made the Li siblings highly desirable, and everyone wanted to get close to them.

And it was because of these social climbers that Li Muyang had been forced to hide in a corner, away from the crowd, secretly playing his game.

But unexpectedly, he had overheard the legend of the Immortal Sword City...

Reflecting on the legend of the Immortal Sword City he'd heard at the end of the Flying Boat, and glancing at his thrifty sister before him, Li Muyang shook his head.

"Let's sit down and eat first."

It was already past dinner time, and the dining hall was almost empty.

To avoid those social climbers, Li Muyang only showed up when dinner time was over and the dining hall had nearly cleared out.

But unexpectedly, his sister Li Yuechan was also there.

Li Yuechan obediently nodded and sat across from Li Muyang with the food she had just gotten.

The girl said, "Elder Sister Ning had things to take care of today, so I didn't disturb her. Besides, if Elder Sister Ning needs me, she'll send someone to notify me."

As she spoke, the girl looked curiously at Li Muyang, returning to the initial question.

"Brother, you haven't answered... Are you thinking about something? Why do you seem so distracted?"

Li Muyang's mind was alert.

"Bloodstone mines..."

He wasn't concerned about the bloodstone mines, even though these were an important resource for demon cultivators.

But the most crucial information in what Li Yuechan had said was about the past of Demon Sword City.

An ancient city established thousands of years ago, where humans and demons coexisted in prosperity until a disaster struck, turning it into an uninhabited city of death.

—This is exactly like the Nanjiang City in the game!

In the game, with the fall of the Jade Immortal, Nanjiang City was on the verge of chaos.

If the demons and the human race in the city started a full-scale war, the collapse of Nanjiang City would be imminent.

However, the cursed sword...

The game seemed to lack a cursed sword, having only an Immortal Sword instead.

Li Muyang's thoughts stirred, and he asked, "Do you know what the cursed sword in Demon Sword City is?"

But he saw his stepsister shake her head.

The girl said, "I don't know that, Sister Ning didn't tell me."

"She just mentioned something about Demon Sword City when chatting about this trip, and didn't really talk about the cursed sword... Why? Are you interested in the cursed sword?"

Li Yuechan said teasingly, with a smile on her face, "If you want to know, then next time I see Sister Ning, I'll ask her for you."

Li Yuechan's smile contained a bit of banter.

After all, Ning Wan'er was once the object of Li Muyang's affections.

But faced with his sister's teasing, Li Muyang remained indifferent.

He nodded and said, "Okay, then please do that for me, I'm indeed quite curious about this legend."

Li Muyang's gaze was sincere, and his tone was natural, without the slightest hint of embarrassment or entanglement.

Seeing his straightforwardness, Li Yuechan pouted and huffed, "Brother..."

The girl looked around to see that no one was there, then suddenly spoke up.

"Tell me honestly, do you really not like Sister Ning anymore?"

"Your hot and cold behavior towards her now... is it really not just playing hard to get?"
