The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!
Chapter 721 - 721: The Fragile Petite Woman“…Mu Yang, knowing all this, will you still choose to stop and hinder me?”
Yan Xiaoru’s soft questioning plunged Li Muyang into silence.
Her words whispered with sincerity and without a single flaw.
It sounded like her true thoughts.
Yet Li Muyang still felt something was amiss, instinctively feeling she might be hiding something.
But for the moment, he couldn’t figure out the flaw.
In this short half-hour, from the moment he stepped into Yan Xiaoru’s courtyard, a series of bombshell revelations occurred, each enough to shake his soul.
Now, Li Muyang, after being bombarded by the events involving Chou Yuyan, Yan Xiaoru, and the appearance of the demon cultivators from Qing Yang.
His mind was in complete chaos.
His heart was flooded with regret and sorrow for Little Wild Grass, and he felt at a loss over his hatred for Chou Yuyan, and now Yan Xiaoru suddenly bared her heart to him…
To be honest, the amount of information was overwhelming; his CPU was nearly fried.
Logically speaking, there’s nothing wrong with what Yan Xiaoru said.
The Heavenly Machine Pavilion lineage has been cursed due to anomalies in the world, growing closer to the Heavenly Dao results in an increased likelihood of death.
Yan Xiaoru wouldn’t live past a hundred years if she didn’t touch the secret techniques of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.
After Li Muyang’s “death,” she continuously used the Heavenly Machine Pavilion’s secret techniques to communicate with the Heavenly Dao. Her impact must have increased, and her remaining lifespan must have drastically reduced.
The fact that she says she might not have more than a year to live is basically true.
But…
Looking at Yan Xiaoru before him, Li Muyang let out a bitter sigh and said, “What if I say I want to continue obstructing you? Now I am the fish on the chopping block, and you’re holding the advantage,”
“Is my hindrance really that important to you?”
In the sky, the battle had already reached a fever pitch.
The demon cultivators of Qing Yang came out in full force. Previously, Qing Yang had only two Purple Mansion Demon Cultivators, but now there were seventeen Purple Mansion and one Heavenly Eternal Realm cultivator.
Such a powerful force was enough to encircle and suppress the reinforcements brought by Dan Taiming from the Hidden Immortal Alliance.
Had it not been for Dan Taiming and the Great General being exceptionally strong, holding their own against many, Li Muyang’s side would have already been defeated.
But even as Dan Taiming and the Great General were still struggling to hold on, it was clear they were showing signs of defeat and could not last much longer.
In such a circumstance, Li Muyang, a key combatant, had yet to take action.
And yet, Yan Xiaoru, who was facing him, also hadn’t made a move.
The two key figures with Heavenly Eternal Realm combat power were now in a standoff, but it was quite clear that Li Muyang was at a disadvantage.
Because there was another Heavenly Eternal Realm combatant present in the courtyard.
Chou Yuyan… this woman filled with hatred for Li Muyang, would definitely not mind dealing with him harshly.
She would be happiest if she “accidentally” hurt Li Muyang during their battle.
Li Muyang, with a bitter expression, looked at Yan Xiaoru and sighed as he inquired.
Yan Xiaoru, however, nodded solemnly and said, “Of course it’s important, very important.”
“My beloved little man, at my most dangerous and when I need help the most, will you continue to obstinately oppose me? Or will you choose to let go of your concerns and support me with all your might… This is very important.”
Yan Xiaoru looked earnestly at Li Muyang, saying, “I need you to stand with me, it would bring me infinite courage and warmth.”
Yan Xiaoru was sincere, her eyes as tender as water, Li Muyang had never seen her like this before.
The previous Yan Xiaoru, beneath her aloof exterior, hid the soul of a mischievous child, with skin too thin to ever act coquettishly towards him, let alone seek affection in such a gentle and pitiful manner as now.
This moment’s her, clearly a vulnerable girl in need of support from her beloved.
That tenderness, the sorrow and timidity filled with hope in her eyes, made Li Muyang’s heart soften, and he almost couldn’t resist agreeing to her.
However, amidst the chaos of thoughts and the confusion of his mind, he instinctively sensed that something was not right.
He always felt like he had missed some important information.
Gazing blankly at the gentle woman in front of him, Li Muyang stayed silent for a long while.
Eventually, he slowly asked, “I have a question…”
Amid the jumbled and chaotic thoughts, he managed to sort out a point of doubt.
Li Muyang hesitated, muttering to himself, “If all you needed was our support, just wanting to extend your lifespan, why didn’t you just tell us directly?”
“Whether it’s me or Senior Tantai, knowing that your lifespan is limited, both of us would support you and help you seek the Divine Spirit Heart.”
“To us, your health is the most important thing; we don’t want you to die.”
“But why have you been hiding this from us?”
As Li Muyang spoke, his thoughts became clearer and clearer.
The doubts that had been disrupted by chaotic thoughts were finally surfacing.
His eyes became clear, temporarily putting aside other thoughts in his mind, he stared intently at Yan Xiaoru in front of him and earnestly asked, “Why do you think we would prioritize controlling you, rather than helping you extend your life first?”
“To what extent has your Demonization progressed?”
Li Muyang’s eyes were fixed on Yan Xiaoru, not missing any slight facial expression changes, “Have you already seen your second personality?”
The Demonization of the Nether Demon Manual becomes more terrifying once the symptoms of a second personality appear.
When a Demon Cultivator sees another self emerging by their side, it signifies the birth of the second personality, beginning to attempt to take over the host personality.
This is an extremely dangerous threshold; once reached, if not controlled, the situation will quickly deteriorate beyond repair.
——Although once Demonization begins, it is essentially irreversible.
But the appearance of the second personality is the most dangerous signal, intervention must be swift to prevent further progression, there can be no further delay.
Li Muyang’s gaze was intense as he stared at Yan Xiaoru, waiting for her response.
Their gazes met, lasting for quite some time.
The atmosphere in the courtyard, originally warm and sweet, gradually became subtle.
As Yan Xiaoru remained silent, Li Muyang’s gaze also became sharper.
After a long while, the silent Yan Xiaoru shrank back and took her original seat properly.
She lifted the teacup in front of her and drank it all in one go, indifferently.
The previously pitifully shy and hopeful demeanor of the little woman vanished in an instant.
In its place was a resigned and indifferent smile.
“…Very clever, Mu Yang.”
“You really can’t be deceived.”
Yan Xiaoru smiled, pouring herself a cup of hot tea.
The reflection in the tea cup revealed two distinct Yan Xiaorus in her eyes.
The corners of her mouth lifted, and at that moment, her smile was inexplicably eerie.
“You’re right, I’ve already seen another me.”
“But I’m actually very confused, why do you guys insist on preventing me from merging with the other me?”
“She is my second personality, sharing the same origin, the same soul, the same body with me, just different in disposition.”
As Yan Xiaoru spoke, the curve of her smile grew wider, shining brilliantly.
“We are originally the same person, there is no need for you to be so hostile towards me, right?”
In that moment, she used “I”.
