The Game with Fairies

“I happen to know the whereabouts of the Bingxian Tiger Talisman.”

“As long as we get the Bingxian Tiger Talisman and command the tens of thousands of resentful spirits to follow your orders, you will have a chance to leave this city.”

Upon hearing this, Zhulí was slightly startled.

She, who had not held out hope, suddenly saw a glimmer of dawn for leaving.

If she could really get the Bingxian Tiger Talisman and command tens of thousands of resentful spirits…

With those spirits scouting the way, she might indeed be able to leave the mist and return to the world of the living.

Realizing this, a hint of joy appeared on Zhulí’s face.

But after the joy, looking at the smiling young man, she fell into hesitation.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to leave, but Zhulí once again felt the weight of the favor.

He had taught her the ultimate truths, helped her leave, and even gave her the Bingxian Tiger Talisman, a divine object capable of commanding tens of thousands of resentful spirits, all to help her leave the mist and return to the world of the living…

At this moment, Zhulí felt somewhat lost and helpless.

The favor was so great that she didn’t know what to do.

Such a large favor felt like it could only be repaid with her life…

The Dragon Deity Fairy felt a bit overwhelmed, her thoughts in disarray.

Fortunately, their cooperation was already tacit, and they easily knocked down all the remnants of demigods in the city, refining these powerful remnants into Resentful Spirit Orbs.

In the end, the ground in the city cracked open as the mysterious person had said, and the resentful spirits sealed underground surged out continuously.

But Zhulí and her companion were prepared, using the Resentful Spirit Orbs to purify the malevolent spirits, and soon all the evil spirits that emerged from the ground were purified.

Even the last three Ghost Kings that crawled out were purified of all their resentment by the Resentful Spirit Orbs.

After the resentment was purified, these resentful spirits regained their senses and stood quietly outside the grand hall in the empty plaza.

They looked up silently.

Once demigods of the city, these resentful spirits were now dead, with only their lingering thoughts remaining.

After the resentment was purified, they turned into those dull, bewildered remnants, even losing their instinct to attack and destroy.

As Zhulí raised the Bingxian Tiger Talisman and showed it to the crowd of remnants, they subconsciously knelt in worship, declaring their loyalty.

Standing on the high platform, watching the thousands of ghosts kneel in worship, Zhulí’s eyes were somewhat vacant.

…She had really subdued the resentful spirits.

Until this moment, she felt an unreal sensation.

Everything had gone too smoothly, so smoothly it felt like a dream.

The Dragon Deity Fairy hesitated, looking at the Mysterious Immortal beside her.

“Could you please tell me your name? If Zhulí can one day escape the mist and return to the world of the living, I will surely seek you out to repay your great kindness, I will serve you in every possible way.”

Zhulí spoke earnestly and sincerely.

Although finding a way out in the mist would not just take a day or two, but whether it was ten years or a hundred… as soon as she returned to the world of the living, she would definitely seek him out!

Zhulí’s gaze was unwaveringly firm.

But then, the mysterious person before her chuckled lightly and shook his head, saying, “There’s no need to search for me. You won’t find me, and I don’t require your gratitude.”

“Fairy, if you can break free from your cage and return to the mortal world, simply guiding this myriad of lost souls properly and preventing them from causing chaos is more than enough.”

It seemed the mysterious person intended to leave.

Zhulí quickly spoke up to detain him, “I still do not know your true name, sir.”

The enigmatic figure waved his hand and replied, “Just call me Immortal Nanhua.”

However, this was clearly a pseudonym, and Zhulí could sense the man’s dismissive and frivolous tone.

This mysterious person had no intention of accepting her gratitude, even giving her a fake name.

Zhulí flashed in front of the mysterious man with sincerity, bowing deeply in a serious gesture, “Please, sir, tell me your real name.”

Zhulí had an inexplicable intuition that if she could not learn his true name now, she would never be able to find him again.

Thus, she rudely interrupted his departure, not allowing the mysterious person to leave.

Seeing the Dragon Deity Fairy block his path with such solemnity, the mysterious man appeared somewhat helpless.

“Didn’t I tell you? My name is Immortal Nanhua.”

“…”

“Uh… Zhuangzi? Zhuang Zhou?”

Despite being a powerful man, this mysterious person was cheerful and flippant, lacking the aloofness typical of such powerful beings.

He looked at Zhulí, who stood unwaveringly in his way and gave several fake names in succession.

Finally, seeing that the Dragon Deity Fairy still refused to step aside, he scratched his head in resignation and said,

“None of these names work? It couldn’t possibly be… uh…”

The mysterious man hesitated for a moment before saying, “Well… my name is Li Muyang, and this is my real name… Can you let me go now?”

As the mysterious person revealed his real name, Zhulí felt a sudden relief in her heart.

Her intuition told her that this time that the name was genuine.

Realizing this, Zhulí smiled faintly and finally stepped aside, saying to Li Muyang,

“Zhulí will remember, I will never forget the real name of the gentleman.”

“If I escape the fog one day, I will surely seek you out!”

Li Muyang, huh? Such an ordinary name…

This mysterious person always managed to surprise her. She had thought his name would be more domineering and mysterious…

Dragon Deity Fairy wore a light smile.

The fog that had shrouded her had already dissipated, revealing her sweet and beautiful smile clearly.

The young man who called himself Li Muyang glanced at her, shrugged, and said, “It’d be strange if you could actually find me.”

With that, a wisp of blue smoke drifted from his body and quickly vanished into the mist.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Deity Fairy looked in the direction the mysterious person had left, touching her face subconsciously.

The look in the mysterious person’s eyes was not the indifferent disregard of a great person who had transcended worldly emotions but rather one of appreciation.

It seemed he quite liked her appearance…

For some reason, realizing this made Zhulí feel a bit shy.

She instinctively covered her blushing face and murmured, “I have a feeling that this gentleman isn’t very old…”

Perhaps he was someone her own age…

……

At the same time, beyond the sea of fog.

Everyone standing on the shore could clearly see that the sea fog, which had been churning for many days, had suddenly stilled.

The cold, sinister aura that had been drifting ashore with the sea breeze also came to an abrupt halt.

The fog that had enveloped the entire sea quieted down so suddenly, as if everything before had been an illusion and the sea of fog had never churned.

In the Heavenly Origin Dynasty, Tengzhou Prefecture.

Fairy Liuli and Shentu Jing stood on the shore, looking at the suddenly quiet sea fog with uncertainty, sensing the disappearance of the eerie aura in the air.

Shentu Jing exclaimed in surprise, “What’s going on? Why has it suddenly become quiet?”

“Did the monsters in the fog fall asleep or something?”

Shentu Jing was puzzled.

Fairy Liuli looked up at the endless fog in the distance, the white mist stretching across the sky and earth like a gray-white wall dividing the world.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of someone.

Someone just as mysterious as this situation, who had appeared and vanished without a trace.

Although these two events seemed unrelated, she couldn’t help but make the connection.

Both were odd occurrences that appeared and disappeared abruptly, leaving no trace in the world…

Where might that constable Wuming be at this moment?
