The Game with Fairies

Chapter 169

Walking through the eerie world beneath the Ancient Grudge Well, Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli slowed down their pace and no longer rushed on their way.

Normally, it would take them no more than two days to reach Red Ridge Mountain at their speed.

But after slowing down, they took much longer.

During the day, they walked through the mountains and wandered through the towns, observing the local customs and interacting with every villager they encountered, inquiring about the various details of this world.

Then they meticulously recorded everything they saw and heard on paper, amassing a thick stack of documents.

This was Li Muyang’s suggestion.

Li Muyang was well aware that the main storyline of this game was to find General Zhong.

Once General Zhong was found, it would probably be the final chapter of the game.

Once the game was over, he would no longer be able to enter this game and experience everything in the Ancient Grudge Well.

When the game ends, he and Fairy Liuli will most likely return to the real world.

Before the game ends, the only thing Li Muyang can do is record everything he sees and hears so that Fairy Liuli can take it out in the future.

Through this investigative report, the veil of the Ancient Grudge Well would be lifted to the world, revealing the truth within.

As long as the truth of the Ancient Grudge Well was known, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s Demon-Suppressing Master, as well as Master Qingye, would at least be prepared for future actions against the Ancient Grudge Well.

Li Muyang’s proposal clearly took Fairy Liuli by surprise.

She had originally planned to hurry to Red Ridge Mountain to find General Zhong and then flee this eerie world to report back to her master about the Ancient Grudge Well.

“Lord Wuming has such meticulous thoughts...”

Under the midday sun, after Fairy Liuli finished writing down what Li Muyang had dictated, she said softly: “If it were just Qingxue alone, she would never have thought to do all this.”

Along the way, they stopped and went, conversing with the commoners and nobles of this world, learning a lot of things.

The mysterious and unfathomable Ancient Grudge Well was gradually unveiling itself to them through these inquiries and conversations.

Now, looking at the thick stack of documents in her hands, Chu Qingxue softly sighed.

At this moment, she clearly understood the weight of these documents.

The thin sheets of paper felt as heavy as mountains in her hands.

The papers recorded not only the local customs of the world beneath the Ancient Grudge Well but also some of the titles and divine powers of the evil gods wandering in the darkness.

Li Muyang scratched his head. He understood the implicit meaning in Fairy Liuli’s words.

She was clearly worried about his safety. But this high and cold fairy was always expressionless, her eyes showing neither joy nor anger as if all the mundane matters of the world could not shake her spirit.

Throughout their journey, no matter how terrible the dangers they faced, even in those archives where they met with tragic deaths, Fairy Liuli remained calm even in the face of death.

Fairy Liuli, who showed no emotional fluctuations even in the face of death... It was the first time he saw a look of worry and tension on her face.

Li Muyang, surprised, scratched his head and asked, “Fairy, are you worried about my safety?”

Li Muyang blurted out the question. His rblunt behavior startled Fairy Liuli, and her eyes trembled.

Chu Qingxue’s pupils suddenly constricted, and she was stunned. She had not expected Li Muyang to be so blunt.

At such a time, shouldn’t he have understood her meaning and kept silent?

Why ask directly...

Fairy Liuli was stunned, her eyes vacant, as if she had lost her soul, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to respond. But Li Muyang, seeing her react so intensely, couldn’t help but laugh.

Fairy Liuli seemed somewhat adorable with that shocked and dazed expression...

“Why such a big reaction, fairy?”

Li Muyang said with amusement, “It’s not like it’s something shameful.”

“Is it really that hard for you to express your concern for my safety?”

“We’re not strangers. After all, we’ve been through life and death together for so long. Worrying about each other’s safety is a very normal thing, isn’t it?”

“Just like how I worry about fairy’s safety and can’t bear to see you in danger.” Li Muyang said with a chuckle.

After hearing his words, Fairy Liuli paused: “It seems that way...”

She came back to her senses.

Indeed, worrying about the safety of a companion or friend was nothing to be ashamed of. But why did she suddenly feel shy about it when facing Lord Wuming...

Fairy Liuli pondered the reason.

Gradually, a blush crept silently onto the girl’s cheeks. She suddenly lowered her head, not daring to look at the figure in front of her anymore.

She seemed to understand something...
