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

Inside the house, the middle-aged man who hurried over held his son’s family letter with trembling hands.

His gaze was filled with sorrow, and he seemed to have aged many years in an instant.

Several neighbors sighed and offered consolation.

As the deliverer of the letter, Li Muyang frowned and focused on the scene before him, as well as the amulet around the middle-aged man’s neck.

He confirmed it over and over again, he couldn’t be mistaken.

This was the amulet crafted by Little Wild Grass in the “Deadly Game”; because it was her first attempt, the craftsmanship was very rough, possessing only a slight power to ward off evil spirits and ghosts.

Later, as Little Wild Grass’s cultivation grew stronger and she crafted better amulets, she replaced this original one.

Little Wild Grass had mentioned that this was a part of her “embarrassing history” and that she wanted to destroy this imperfect prototype.

At the time, Li Muyang didn’t pay much attention, yet now, he unexpectedly saw this amulet on a stranger.

This family even worships an ancestral spirit tablet of “Ancestor Jiang Xiaoyu”… this is freaking ridiculous!

I remained chaste in “Deadly Game”! I never triggered any 18+ storylines.

How could I possibly have descendants?

Asexual reproduction?!

Li Muyang was filled with doubt but refrained from asking immediately. He waited until the middle-aged man had calmed down to tell the couple about where he found the letter and about their son being shattered to pieces.

After listening to Li Muyang’s recount, the couple’s expressions became even more sorrowful.

However, the middle-aged man still mustered the strength to express his gratitude: “Thank you, sir, for delivering the letter. Judging by your demeanor, you’re no ordinary person. To take such trouble for a letter from my son, your righteousness is profound.”

“We have nothing with which to repay you. This is a treasured heirloom passed down from our ancestors, and we’d like to gift it to you.”

The middle-aged man brought out a wooden box from inside the house and passed it to Li Muyang with a heavy heart.

Upon opening the box, Li Muyang saw some scattered Silver Taels and a yellowed piece of parchment.

This was all the middle-aged man had to his name.

Considering their living conditions, they didn’t seem well-off.

Other than the small amount of scattered Silver Taels, only antiques from their ancestors were left to express their thanks.

Li Muyang took out the Silver Taels, indicating they were unnecessary, and only accepted the parchment.

[Task: The Leopard’s Family Letter Completed]

[Experience Points Gained: 500XP]

[Item Obtained: Fragment of a Night Demon]

[Level Up: LV5]

This piece of parchment was the reward for the task and seemed very important.

But Li Muyang’s gaze briefly lingered on the amulet around the middle-aged man’s chest.

Then he nonchalantly asked: “Are you surnamed Jiang by any chance?”

Li Muyang pointed to the spiritual tablet and asked, “Why is there only one ancestral spirit tablet?”

The middle-aged man was feeling down but still bravely responded: “My ancestors were of humble origin without a surname, not worth mentioning. But my wife was born in the Jiang Family of Red Leaf Valley. She married down into my family, enduring much hardship. This ancestral spirit tablet belongs to her family’s ancestors. It’s said he was a great Ancient Sage.”

“We worship this Sage in the hopes of receiving his protection.”

The middle-aged man’s reply made Li Muyang turn to look at the middle-aged woman standing nearby.

Unexpectedly, it was this woman who was the bloodline of Jiang Xiaoyu.

After asking a few questions, he began to understand the situation.

In Red Leaf Valley, two thousand miles away from here, there is a Jiang Family that has been worshipping the spirit tablet of Jiang Xiaoyu for generations, claiming to be descendants of the Ancient Sage Jiang Xiaoyu.

A characteristic of the Jiang Family is the amulet worn on the chest of the middle-aged man.

It is said to be a symbol of their ancestors, with almost every descendant of the Jiang Family wearing such an amulet.

Upon closer inspection, Li Muyang discovered that although the amulet worn by the middle-aged man had the same style as the one Little Wild Grass gave to him, it only contained a faint power and was a very common replica.

After listening to the situation, Li Muyang sighed.

“…So that’s how it is.”

Since he now understood the situation, Li Muyang found no further reason to impose by staying.

He asked the middle-aged couple for the direction to Red Leaf Valley, and after identifying the precise location on the map, he stood up to bid farewell.

The middle-aged couple invited him to stay for dinner, but Li Muyang declined their kind offer and insisted on leaving.

For this couple who had lost their son, this was a time to give them space to lick their wounds, not to disturb them.

Li Muyang ate a simple dinner in the city, then rehired a carriage to continue towards his next destination, Red Leaf Valley.

On the carriage, he opened the piece of parchment he had received from the couple, ‘Fragments of the Nightmares’.

The parchment was completely blank, without any text or images.

But as a system prop, once Li Muyang got ahold of it, a golden exclamation mark appeared on it.

Upon activating the exclamation mark, he received a new mission.

[Mission: Traces of the Nightmares]

[Mission Content: Find the traces of the Nightmares, collect fragments of the Nightmares]

[Current Progress: 1/61]

However, this mission did not provide Li Muyang with arrow guidance.

Li Muyang, at the present, felt like a headless fly, clueless about where to find the Nightmares.

“…The mission doesn’t provide a guide this time?” Li Muyang frowned in thought, finding it strange.

Could it be that the Nightmares were hard to track down?

He opened the map, but there was no red dot on it indicating the mission’s target.

All Li Muyang could do was continue his journey. Without any leads, he decided to first head to Red Leaf Valley to encounter the Jiang Family.

The process of traveling in this game couldn’t be skipped, but the good news was that there was an AFK option.

With the AFK button.

After AFK-ing, Li Muyang could switch out of the game and go play ‘Godslayer Simulator’.

He planned to log back in after the carriage reached Red Leaf Valley.

But just as Li Muyang was engaged in a fierce battle with the Extreme Night God in ‘Godslayer Simulator’, he suddenly received a system alert.

[Sensing traces of the Nightmares]

[Number of Targets: 3]

Upon seeing this system prompt, Li Muyang no longer cared about his battle with the Extreme Night God.

He immediately switched out of the game and returned to ‘Devil Heart Buddha’.

The carriage was still en route to Red Leaf Valley, but not far ahead, there was a small town.

It was now evening, and the setting sun cast a fading glow across the sky.

It seemed the driver intended to spend the night there.

However, after Li Muyang opened the map, he saw three red dots within the town ahead.

In his view, system arrows also appeared to guide him.

“Good, the system is still useful.”

As long as he was a certain distance from a Nightmare, the system would mark its location.

Li Muyang immediately leaped down from the carriage, startling the driver and the townspeople gathered along the road.

Li Muyang’s gaze locked onto a middle-aged man among the onlookers.

This middle-aged man had a scruffy beard and greasy hair that clearly hadn’t been washed for a while, looking disheveled and dirty.

At first glance, this middle-aged man appeared no different than the average person.

But within Li Muyang’s view, while other townspeople had a neutral pale yellow health bar, this middle-aged man had a red health bar.
