Chapter 302: The Glass Immortal Maiden of Legend
"So, this friend of yours, is she prettier than me?"
The curious Bite Moon Flood Dragon blinked her eyes as she asked this, her face a portrait of innocent sincerity.
At this moment, Li Muyang's brain glitched for a second and he fell silent.
The usually eloquent him was at a loss for words in response to her question.
After hesitating for several seconds, he said. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"Her cultivation level is higher than yours and mine, and her mana is much stronger... She's really incredible."
Li Muyang avoided the question.
Fortunately, the Bite Moon Flood Dragon didn't seem to take the question too seriously.
She nodded happily, "Then with her so powerful, with her help, we definitely don't have to be afraid of those two wandering gods."
After speaking, Bite Moon Flood Dragon added, "But we didn't have to be afraid of those two wandering gods in the first place. They're not a match for us. Your ability to summon thunder from heaven is too powerful!"
"I never realized before that I could use incense prayer power to summon thunder from heaven!"
Bite Moon Flood Dragon said regretfully, "It's just that summoning thunder from heaven requires so much incense prayer power, while heaven fire is more useful."
Li Muyang shook his head, "Those two wandering gods are just a minor nuisance, not worth mentioning; what we need to guard against is their master behind them..."
Bite Moon Flood Dragon blinked in surprise, "What does 'a minor nuisance' mean? And what is 'not worth mentioning'?"
"..." Li Muyang held his forehead, speechless, and sighed.
This little flood dragon was illiterate indeed.
He had to simply explain the meanings of these two idioms to her.
Bite Moon Flood Dragon nodded intently, "Oh, oh, oh! So that's what it means... I remember now."
She looked at Li Muyang happily, her smile beaming, "Li Muyang, you know so much."
Despite the compliment, Li Muyang felt no joy.
He could only sigh helplessly, "It's just that you know too little..."
Soon, Li Muyang arrived outside Yangshan Village, and, following an instinctual guidance, quickly found the evil being within Yangshan Village.
Two orbs of heaven fire descended, burning the evil being to an empty husk, which Li Muyang transformed to his true form and swallowed in one gulp.
After consuming the evil being, Li Muyang continued towards the next one.
The weasel followed from behind, unable to comprehend the actions of this Dragon Goddess.
Powerful wandering immortals had come to kill her, yet instead of fleeing or hiding, she was busy hunting down evil beings.
To this Dragon Goddess, was exterminating demons for the common people really that important...
Quickly, a night passed, and dawn broke.
Li Muyang had traveled all night and hunted four evil beings.
As the light of day broke, he opened the system interface to check his Experience Points.
Bite Moon Flood Dragon LV7 (8%).
After leveling up to LV7, the Experience Points required for the next level up had increased even further.
The four evil beings had only provided 8% of the Experience Points, so leveling up further seemed to be a difficult task.
Li Muyang pondered, recalling the three evil being nests in the Jade Water River.
Now that he had unlocked the thunder summoning skill, his strength had gained a tremendous boost.
A LV7 Bite Moon Flood Dragon, when transformed, had a body nearly eighty meters long, and together with the heaven fire and thunder abilities, such an immense beast could have guest-starred in an episode of Ultraman in his previous life.
If he could destroy those three evil being nests, further boost his strength, and establish the Dragon King's Water Domain, perhaps he could take on the wandering god beyond the border by leveraging the power of the Jade Water River's water vein?
Once the water domain was established, a flood dragon within its territory could gain at least a 30% increase in strength, which is a powerful buff.
The Jade Water River basin was vast and rich in water vein power, so the increase in strength could be even greater.
But before that, he needed to meet with the Glass Immortal Maiden, Chu Qingxue, and seek her advice.
Thinking this, Li Muyang said a few words to the dragon spirit within him, reminding her to be careful.
Then, Li Muyang logged off.
He opened his eyes, waking up in his bamboo house.
Outside the house, night deepened, it was just the beginning of night.
But this time, there was no younger sister coming to tell him it was time for dinner.
In this moment, Li Muyang, who had gotten used to his sister calling him for dinner at this time, suddenly felt a sense of loss.
He rose and walked outside the house, stood in the cold night breeze, and remained lost in thought for a while before he let out a wry smile.
"Crazy..."
Hadn't he intended to live in solitude?
Yet, he had unknowingly developed an excellent relationship with this adopted sister with whom he had no blood relation.
Li Muyang sighed, got up to exercise his limbs in the courtyard, and then began to take his medicines and cultivate.
Taking Spiritual Medicine from his Qiankun Ring and then refining its power was much quicker than eating Spirit Rice.
Life as an Inner Sect Disciple of the Refinement Demon Sect was not dull; Inner Sect Disciples came and went as they pleased, and recently, many allies from the Demon Race had arrived at the Sect.
It was said that among them were many beauties from the Demon Race, who enchanted the inner sect disciples of the Sect, causing quite a stir at the base of the Sect's mountain.
But that excitement belonged to others; Li Muyang found it all noisy.
All those charming demonesses and cold-skinned ghostly women, he had no interest in them at all.
He firmly closed the door of his courtyard, declined all visits and disturbances, cultivating quietly in his secluded little bamboo house for a full day and night.
Only when the night deepened once again did he open the system and enter the game anew.
Familiar darkness enveloped him, and Li Muyang lost all five senses.
When the darkness receded like the tide and he found solid ground beneath his feet once more, he realized he was in the midst of a crowd.
In front and behind were throngs of people.
This seemed to be the entrance to a small town, not far from a large locust tree on which hung a bell, while several elder-like figures stood with continuous apologetic smiles on a yellow earthen platform beneath it.
It seemed the whole town had gathered here.
People were straining on tiptoes and stretching their necks to get a better look at the scenes unfolding on the yellow earthen platform ahead.
In the center of that earthen platform stood a young woman.
She wore a splendid magic robe, carried a strange black sword on her back, held talismans in her hand, and had a gentle smile.
But her pitch-black lips and the evil gleam in her eyes added an uncomfortable malevolent aura to her.
In front of her knelt a woman cradling her daughter, crying and pleading for help, hoping the Immortal would save her daughter.
But from Li Muyang's perspective, the girl in the woman's arms was clearly a corpse, already bereft of life.
Yet the sinister woman gave a faint smile, lit the talisman in her hand, and chanted a few low incantations.
A cold presence immediately wafted through the air.
The next second, the girl's corpse in the woman's arms, which had long since died and even developed livor mortis, stood up straight and opened her eyes.
"Mother!"
"My ill-fated child! Quickly thank the kind and compassionate Immortal! Immortal, we mother and daughter offer you our deepest gratitude!"
On the yellow earthen stage, the embrace and tears of the mother and daughter painted an incredibly touching scene.
Beneath the stage, the commoners were all stirred up, their voices exploding like thunder, everyone shocked by this resurrection miracle.
Li Muyang alone stared at the "resurrected" daughter and felt an icy chill.
—This wasn't resurrection at all!
The girl who had stood up straight hadn't come back to life, but had instead become some sort of strange, nefarious entity he had never seen before!
Li Muyang felt a chill at the core of his being the first time he saw such an evil creature.
What the hell is going on here?
Why has another wicked thing appeared?
Li Muyang asked incredulously, "Where is this? Why are you here?"
How did the Flood Dragon find this evil woman?
But the voice of the Flood Dragon inside Li Muyang's body responded with surprise.
"Eh? Didn't you recognize her?"
The Flood Dragon spoke in bafflement, "The woman up there is your friend, the Glass Immortal Maiden!"
"I heard she was here, so I came looking for her..."
The Flood Dragon was puzzled by Li Muyang's reaction.
But before Li Muyang could respond, the sinister woman on the earthen platform suddenly looked directly at him; her gaze locked onto Li Muyang amidst the crowd.
It seemed that at that moment, she heard the exchange between Li Muyang and the primordial spirit within him...
