The Game with Fairies
Chapter 398

Granny Gu forcibly took the Flesh and Bone Green Garment from Li Muyang’s hand, looking at the lifelike green-clothed puppet in her hand, she frowned.

“Still, you really have raised this evil spirit well… How did you manage to do that?”

When this evil spirit was first given to Li Muyang, it was just a small toy. But now it had obviously improved a lot.

Granny Gu asked curiously, but Li Muyang didn’t want to answer the question.

“Granny!”

Li Muyang said helplessly and through gritted teeth, “Won’t you really help out? If you don’t help, Xiao Yecao is really going to lose!”

Without any immortal weapons to protect her, Xiao Yecao was still struggling to hold on against the siege of the three mysterious assailants.

This showed how exceptional her talent was.

Her combat power, even among immortals, was outstanding. But unfortunately, without immortal weapons and outnumbered, Xiao Yecao was gradually losing.

Whether Xiao Yecao was killed here or captured… it seemed to signify the failure of the game!

Surely the goal wasn’t to raise Xiao Yecao only to let her die in the end?

Li Muyang was anxious, both for the potential game failure and for Xiao Yecao’s safety.

However, Granny Gu in front of the ancestral temple remained indifferent.

She looked up at the sky, watching the three mysterious assailants, and said, “It’s impossible for me to take action.”

Granny Gu once again calmly refused Li Muyang.

“If I were to act, it would trigger a terribly frightening disaster.”

“However, those three things seem to know that too. They always maintain their distance, not daring to get close to Black Cloud Village…”

Granny Gu frowned as she watched the battle in the sky, saying,

“What exactly is the origin of these things? They have such a strong sense of crisis, or do they know the secrets of the evil lineage clan?”

Granny Gu mused to herself, her words laden with significant information.

But it all boils down to one sentence——she can’t make a move.

Moreover, she forcibly took away the Flesh and Bone Green Garment from Li Muyang’s hands, preventing him from unleashing the power of this system item.

Although the item description of the Flesh and Bone Green Garment mentioned that it couldn’t be used against true immortals, Granny Gu was indeed looking out for Li Muyang’s well-being…

But this is a game!

Li Muyang thought about giving it a try, even if it meant dying once, it didn’t matter.

At least it would buy Xiao Yecao some time.

However, in the end, he could only watch helplessly as Xiao Yecao was defeated in the sky, entangled by three mysterious assailants with chains of a ghostly blue hue.

Then, the sound of chains clanking filled the sky as Xiao Yecao struggled against the three assailants who forcibly dragged her away, flying towards the north.

Witnessing all this, Li Muyang, dejected and angry, pounded the ground with force.

Is the game going to be a failure?

He prepared to reload and try again.

This time, he planned to take Xiao Yecao and leave before the mysterious assailants showed up.

However, just as Li Muyang was about to exit the game, a system prompt suddenly popped up in his field of vision.

【Lone Peril: The ascended Xiao Yecao has been taken away by the Soul Binding Chains, in grave danger, please rescue her as soon as possible!】

【Final Quest: Lone Peril has been initiated】

【Complete this quest to receive the ultimate reward from 《Deadly Weed》】

【Please proceed to the ancestral temple in Black Cloud Village and seek Granny Gu’s help】

【Hint: Within the depths of despair, there lies a glimmer of hope. Seize this opportunity!】

The system prompt that popped up took Li Muyang by surprise.

This is actually the main storyline?

Xiao Yecao’s capture is a plot twist?

Damn it!

No wonder there were three mysterious assailants all at once, so now does Li Muyang need to personally rescue Xiao Yecao to clear the entire game process?

Li Muyang immediately looked towards Granny Gu on the steps and said,

“Granny, please help me! I need to save Xiao Yecao!”

Currently, Li Muyang was a complete noob without any real strength.

To rescue Xiao Yecao, he clearly needed the power of the evil lineage clan.

And Granny Gu was the only powerhouse of the evil lineage clan.

The guidance from the system also pointed towards Granny Gu.

However, after hearing Li Muyang’s words, Granny Gu frowned slightly.

She glanced at Li Muyang and said,

“Help you? How can I help you?”

“You’re just a mortal with a physical body, and although I, an old woman, have some magical powers, can I lend them to you?”

Granny Gu waved her hand dismissively and said, “Get lost, go find a place to cry for a while.”

“Those three didn’t come after you, consider yourself lucky to have escaped with your life. Forget about anything else.”

Granny Gu outright refused, but Li Muyang was not discouraged and immediately stopped Granny Gu who wanted to leave.

“Granny, didn’t you say before? You once mentioned that I have good talent and wanted to pass on your skills to me…”

Before Li Muyang could finish, Granny Gu glared at him.

“I said that if you were a girl! I would teach you if you were a girl, but who asked you to be a boy?”

“Our evil lineage clan’s skills are passed down to females, not males!”

Granny Gu was extremely disdainful.

However, just as she finished speaking, a faint white light suddenly shone from Li Muyang’s chest.

Vaguely, the white light seemed to form an arrow pointing towards the north.

Granny Gu was slightly taken aback, attracted by the white light.

Li Muyang opened his collar and took out the jade amulet he was wearing around his neck, which was emitting the white light.

Li Muyang explained,

“This was crafted by Xiao Yecao for me; she has one too. Once we are separated by more than a thousand li, the amulet will sense it and point towards each other’s location.”

Previously, when Xiao Yecao was worried about Li Muyang wandering off and getting lost while traveling, she crafted this amulet to connect them and prevent separation.

Seeing the amulet, Granny Gu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Xiao Yecao actually crafted this? Can it be used to find her location?”

Granny Gu pondered in front of the ancestral temple.

Suddenly she made a decision and said to Li Muyang,

“Little Fish, there is indeed a method here that can help you.”

“It may not guarantee the rescue of your Xiao Yecao, but at least it can give you the power you need to attempt a rescue.”

“However, the price for this power is great. Once used, you must sacrifice yourself, completely obliterated.”

“Are you willing…”

“I am willing!”

Li Muyang declared decisively, “Granny, please help me now!”

Is it just dying once?

After all, it’s Jiang Xiaoyu who dies. What does it have to do with me, Li Muyang?

Li Muyang just wanted to quickly gain the power and then rush to the rescue.

Who would have thought that the power of the evil lineage clan actually had a backdoor?

Could it really grant a mere mortal like Jiang Xiaoyu the divine power to confront immortals?

Li Muyang said, “Granny, let’s start right away!”

Li Muyang showed great excitement towards death.

It seemed as if he couldn’t wait to die.

His readiness to embrace death made Granny Gu look at him intently for a while before finally shaking her head with regret.

“What a pity, what a pity…”

Granny Gu was once again regretting that Li Muyang wasn’t a girl.

Otherwise, she would have passed on all her skills to him.

Saying this, she turned and walked towards the tightly shut doors of the ancestral temple.

“Come in, I’ll take you to meet the ancestral spirits.”
