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

Originally, the middle-aged man was standing among the crowd watching a play, mingling with the rest of the villagers.

But when Li Muyang leaped down from the carriage with the Princess of the Defunct Country, the middle-aged man’s expression subtly changed.

Seeing that Li Muyang’s gaze locked onto him, the middle-aged man’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

He turned and attempted to run.

But Li Muyang activated the Flying Corpse Technique, charging directly towards him, effectively blocking the middle-aged man’s path.

“Yo… this demon, why are you running?” Li Muyang casually said, “Am I that frightening?”

After Li Muyang finished speaking, the middle-aged man, who had intended to leave, sneered.

No longer disguising himself as a human, he said, “I didn’t expect to encounter a Puppet Master here… You creatures that are neither human nor ghost, truly relentless spirits!”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man emitted a piercing Beast Roar.

The next second, his skin started to crack, and a hideous creature with flesh wings tore through the human skin, revealing its true form under the setting sun.

An ugly body similar to a bat, covered with fine grey fur.

With a towering height of two meters, he stood out starkly among the crowd.

The huge flesh wings, once spread out, appeared even more sinister and terrifying.

The moment the creature revealed itself, the surrounding villagers began to scream in terror.

“It’s an Evil Spirit! It’s an Evil Spirit!”

“It ate Berli! It transformed into Berli’s appearance!”

The terrified villagers screamed and fled.

As it revealed its true form, the creature laughed manically, “But you are too weak, Puppet Master, and so are your puppets. After it gets dark, I will come to eat you! You third-rate Puppet Master, I could chew you up in one bite after dark! Hahaha!”

With its laughter, the creature spread its wings, whipping up a gust of wind as it took flight.

Li Muyang unleashed three Bone Stripping Techniques at it, hitting the target but unable to stop its escape.

Moreover, the Bone Stripping Technique seemed to have only a mediocre effect on the creature.

Standing there, watching the creature leave, Li Muyang furrowed his brows.

“…It is not an Evil God, but neither is it a common Evil Spirit.”

Evil Gods and Evil Spirits only appear after dark.

Soulless ones like the Princess of the Defunct Country even have their power sealed during the day, becoming merely mobile corpses.

But this creature, capable of moving freely in daylight, possessing human-like will, and even disguising itself to mingle among the townsfolk…

This creature known as “demon” has reshaped Li Muyang’s understanding.

“I didn’t expect such a creature to exist in the Ancient Resentment Well.”

Li Muyang didn’t attempt to pursue; the night was drawing near anyway. With the assistance of the Princess of the Defunct Country, his chances of victory would be greater after nightfall.

After the monster flew away, the villagers surged forward.

They looked at Li Muyang with both fear and caution, hesitating to come closer yet not daring to stay too far, pointing and whispering among themselves.

Eventually, an elder who looked like a village head cautiously approached, holding a bag of coins.

“Puppet… Mr. Puppet Master,” the old man carefully said, “This is the compensation gathered by our town. Please eliminate that man-eating demon, our entire town will be grateful for your help…”

Li Muyang took the money bag and weighed it, feeling quite astonished.

Seeing how familiar the villagers acted, this wasn’t their first time doing this.

Puppet Masters… people like him who control Puppets in combat, and there are quite a few in the Ancient Resentment Well?

There’s even a special term to address these kinds of individuals.

Very good, it’s more like a pet battle game now.

There are many Puppet Controllers.

But so far, it’s all PVE; there’s no PVP yet, nor any quests to challenge other Puppet Masters’ gyms.

Li Muyang accepted the money bag and said, “Alright, lock your doors tight tonight and stay indoors. I’ll take care of this specter for you.”

“Uh… Mister Puppet Master,” the old man cautiously reminded, “normally, specters tend to inhabit in groups. If one appears, there are usually at least two or three more nearby. The price I gave you covers clearing them all…”

Upon hearing this, Li Muyang raised an eyebrow.

Goodness, there’s even a market rate… So these creatures that mingle among people are common in the Ancient Resentment Well?

Tsk… This scene feels strangely familiar.

It’s only because these villagers seem timid and scared, unwilling to give Li Muyang a hard time, otherwise the déjà vu would be even stronger.

Taking the money bag, Li Muyang said, “Alright, leave it to me. I’ll take care of that group of specters for you.”

“But for the driver I hired, you’ll have to arrange accommodation.”

“And also, please prepare tonight’s dinner.”

After arranging everything and having a fairly lavish dinner, Li Muyang and the Princess of the Defunct Country guarded the entrance to the small town.

He watched the map’s movements and noticed that the three specters hadn’t converged but were still scattered.

Seeing that the specters had no intent of attacking him together, Li Muyang was not in a rush to clear them.

He sat at the town entrance waiting until nightfall, when the town behind him quieted down, with every household closing their doors and windows and lighting oil lamps.

An ugly, ferocious monster flew in from the distant night sky.

“Hehe! You the Puppet Master aren’t running away?”

The monster that he had encountered during the day landed with a ferocious laugh, its eyes blood-red, and even its body surrounded by a faint red Evil Qi, looking much more fearsome than during the day.

But Li Muyang remained calm.

Looking at it coldly, he said, “You call that laugh? You’re nothing but small fry.”

There was no battle alert, nor a battle interface.

The battle between Li Muyang and this monster kicked off immediately.

The monster roared and charged, while the Princess of the Defunct Country silently rushed forward.

Despite being distracted by controlling the Princess of the Defunct Country, Li Muyang was still able to use the Bone Stripping Technique on the monster.

The two-on-one pincer attack quickly drove the monster into a desperate situation.

It cried out in shock and anger, “How can you multitask like this? You’re not some third-rate Puppet Master!”

Li Muyang sneered, not bothering to waste words.

He continued to control the Princess of the Defunct Country, launching more coordinated attacks on the monster.

This monster’s Power attribute indeed surpassed both him and the Princess of the Defunct Country.

But what’s the use of having a high attribute?

To Li Muyang, a cultivator who has mingled in high-end fights and sparred with various gods and True Immortals, this monster was as simple as a blank sheet of paper.

Li Muyang could toy with it just through micromanagement.

Soon, the monster howled miserably as it fell, and Li Muyang gained 100 XP.

After the monster fell, the Princess of the Defunct Country immediately pounced on its corpse, beginning to frantically tear it apart.

Within just ten minutes, the monster was completely devoured by the Princess of the Defunct Country, leaving only an ugly skeleton.

[Princess of the Defunct Country +500XP]

[Level Up]

[LV1→LV2]

Just by defeating a specter, the Princess of the Defunct Country leveled up.

This leveling speed and experience gain were much faster than Li Muyang’s.

“It looks like wiping out these three specters could lead to several level-ups.”

Li Muyang, chuckling, watched the red dots on the map and directly led the Princess of the Defunct Country towards them.
