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

Chapter 451 Murder Book

Hovering beside Li Muyang, the ghostly girl cocked her head and said, "The Ancestral Master's cave abode, huh... I don't know the exact location."

"I just overheard my sister talking to someone else and mentioned it."

"There might be something very powerful inside, my sister had such a strange expression at the time, it was so weird!"

The ghostly girl giggled, "Brother-in-law, are you also interested in the Blood Lotus Sect Ancestral Master?"

Li Muyang humored the ghostly girl but realized he couldn't pry any useful information from her, so he no longer wanted to speak with this sly little ghost.

He returned to the city's largest inn, which the Demon Sect had rented out at a high cost.

However, most of the Demon Sect disciples were loitering around town, and there were very few of them inside the inn.

This long journey felt more like a holiday on the public dime to most of the Demon Sect disciples.

Although the small town before them was run-down, the customs and people of the southern hemisphere were quite different from those in the north.

For the Demon Sect disciples accustomed to life in the north, this southern town held a different kind of charm.

After Li Muyang returned to the inn, just as he was about to have someone summon the wandering Li Yuechan back, he suddenly received new information.

"...Brother Li, Elder Yan has sent a message and asked us to stay in this town for two more days," said the disciple.

"She's engaged in a long discussion about the Path of Immortality with a friend and won't return today."

When it rains, it pours; just when Li Muyang thought he would be safe once Yan Xiaoru returned, he learned of this development from Brother Cheng as soon as he got back to the inn.

Li Muyang was somewhat speechless.

"Did Elder Yan mention in her message where she is, or who this friend might be?"

This capricious, childish hermit, Yan Xiaoru, actually has friends?

That's really strange.

Brother Cheng, ever the solemn one with a sword on his back, shook his head, "Elder Yan did not say, only told us to wait here for her, and that you, Brother Li, are to decide on any matters."

Upon hearing this, Li Muyang sighed deeply.

Great, the strongest fighter had run off.

Now here he was, a cultivator in the Spirit Travel Realm, leading a bunch of Demon Sect disciples who had stumbled into the lair of the remnants of the Blood Lotus Sect, with enemies likely to appear at any moment.

In such a situation, surrounded by foes on all sides, what should he do?

But as Shen Miao said, Shen Yan was extremely shrewd.

Written elegantly on the envelope were five big characters:[For Li Muyang Personally].

After a brief silence, Li Muyang opened the letter.

The delicate handwriting of Shen Yan from the Blood Lotus Sect appeared in his sight.

[Muyang, as if meeting face to face upon seeing this letter...]

...

Having read the letter in silence, Li Muyang slowly put down the paper and raised his hand to rub his brow.

He said nothing, but a ghostly figure of a young girl, translucent in form, suddenly emerged from the wall behind him.

"Brother-in-law! You can't go! It's definitely a trap!" the ghostly girl urgently advised.

Hearing Shen Miao's voice, Li Muyang frowned slightly.

He turned to look and found the ghostly girl had somehow made it inside the room.

This Shen Miao... how could she evade his Divine Sense detection and lurk so close without being discovered?

With a frown, Li Muyang looked at Shen Miao, curious and confused, "Do you know the contents of the letter? Did you bring it here?"

The ghostly girl shook her head, "I didn't bring it. It was the inn's errand boy who secretly brought it in. I was hiding nearby and saw everything."

"I didn't read what's in the letter, but I can vaguely guess. It must be my sister asking you out to meet her... right?"

"Based on how my sister acts, this is like 'disturbing the grass to scare the snake, luring the snake out of its hole.'

"If she can lure you out alone, she will rally people to kill you first."

"If you don't go, this letter will still intimidate the Demon Sect, and depending on your response, she can figure out whether or not you are here for them."

Shen Miao sighed, "I've watched my sister all my life; nobody knows better than me her fondness for schemes."

"You absolutely must not go this time, your death is certain if you do!" Shen Miao said, advising.

After listening to the ghostly girl's counsel, Li Muyang smiled and said, "What you say makes sense, but unfortunately, your sister's letter isn't an invitation to a banquet."

He slapped the letter on the table, and under the dim candlelight, the last few graceful lines of the letter were faintly visible.

[...At noon tomorrow, I will take your life]

[I inform you by letter, out of our full friendship]

[For matters after your death, please arrange them in advance]

In the ghostly girl's stunned gaze, Li Muyang said, "This is not an invitation, but a death notice."

Looking out at the somber night, he said, "She's coming to kill me tomorrow."
