The Game with Fairies

From the perspective of Li Muyang, a person who has transmigrated… the story of the original host and Miss Ning from the Ning family is rather indescribable. Or to put it another way, the foolish acts of the original host, a clueless 17-year-old youth, are, in Li Muyang’s eyes, beyond words.

The original host lived in Jiuyuan City, which was an ordinary city under the rule of the Demon Refining Sect.

The Li Family in Jiuyuan City couldn’t even be considered a clan. They were just a family with a bit of more money than others.

Li Muyang’s father, Li Damu, was the captain of the city’s defense team, commanding around twenty people.

He owned a modest residence with three courtyards and employed two maids, an old nanny, and a coachman.

Such a family could only be considered modestly wealthy, playing a very minor role in the city.

Li Damu and his wife had only one son, Li Muyang, but they also raised an adopted daughter named Li Yuechan.

The girl was the orphaned daughter of Li Damu’s sworn brother, and after his death, Li Damu brought her home to raise.

This girl was clever and lively, with a cheerful personality that made her very likable.

She was a stark contrast to the original host, who was grumpy and petty, which resulted in a poor relationship between the original host and his adopted sister, or rather, it could be said that the original host had a poor relationship with everyone. Even the servants and maids in the house disliked him.

Later, the original host became infatuated with Miss Ning from the Ning family in Jiuyuan City, spending all his money on her.

Miss Ning would summon him at her whim and dismiss him just as easily, finding it more convenient than commanding a dog. Eventually, to force his parents to provide money for him to marry Miss Ning, the original host had a huge argument with his parents.

Li Damu, a simple man with little education, was so angered by his rebellious son that he uttered some harsh words, and the original host stormed out in a rage, slamming the door behind him.

Before leaving, he cursed his own family’s doorstep in front of the neighbors, shouting,

“Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side of the river. Li Damu, I will make you regret today’s decision!”

Afterward, the original host joined the Demon Refining Sect, harboring dreams of making it big within the Demonic Sect, and became an Outer Sect Servant Disciple.

Unfortunately, this fellow had only been in the sect for a little over a month when he practiced his cultivation recklessly, leading to demonic deviation and his own death. It was after this that the transmigrator Li Muyang took over.

Remembering the nonsense the original host had done, Li Muyang just wanted to cover his face.

“I had planned never to return to Jiuyuan City or contact my family again…”

And now, his adopted sister had actually come looking for him?

Li Muyang suddenly felt the dread of social death.

Although the foolish acts were not committed by Li Muyang himself, having transversed into this body, he was now associated with them—as the saying goes, it’s like having mud stuck to his pants. It’s not excrement, but it might as well be.

Everyone in Jiuyuan City who knew Li Muyang was aware that he was a delusional youth who publicly disrespected his parents with the phrase “Do not look down on the young for being poor.”

And now, not only was his adopted sister coming, but also Miss Ning, whom the original host had been fawning over.

“This is a disaster from the heavens…”

Li Muyang covered his face, suddenly feeling that his secluded little hut might actually be quite nice.

At the very least, living here could save him a lot of trouble.

Having done such idiotic things, Li Muyang had no desire to meet with any acquaintances of the original host.

As for Miss Ning from the Ning family… who are you?

I’m really not familiar with you!

After carefully reading the family letter, Li Muyang sat under the old tree by the field and closed his eyes.

Before the messenger arrived, Li Muyang had just finished performing the Cloud and Rain Technique and was resting on the field ridge.

He appeared to be meditating, but in reality, he was playing a game.

Having read the letter, Li Muyang thought it over and quickly adjusted his mindset.

Although his adopted sister Li Yuechan had said she would come to the Demon Refining Sect with Miss Ning accompanying her in a while and asked Li Muyang to meet her, the original host and Li Yuechan had a bad relationship to begin with.

If he didn’t go, then he wouldn’t go.

As for Miss Ning… She’s so beautiful that she won’t lack for a ‘licking dog’ like Li Muyang.

There will be new ‘licking dogs’ eager to fawn over her. She won’t care about a former acquaintance like Li Muyang.

Right now, Li Muyang’s mind is completely occupied by Xiao Yecao from Black Cloud Village and the life-threatening crisis at the first checkpoint.

He doesn’t want to waste his precious time on anything else.

He’s been stuck at this level for too long, to the point where Li Muyang is almost speechless.

It’s just a nurturing game, should it really be this difficult?

Entering the game again, Li Muyang sits in the empty stilted building, looking at the little girl in front of him.

During this time, he has tried every possible method, explored all the information about the village, and even attempted to reload the game to the very beginning to choose to adopt the other two children.

However, if he adopts any lost soul other than Xiao Yecao, the system will force a game-over.

After bringing Xiao Yecao home, Li Muyang is certain to die as soon as he closes his eyes at night.

It seems to be an unsolvable loop.

Li Muyang has explored the game for a long time but still can’t find a way to break this loop.

—Or rather, he has vaguely found the direction to clear the game, but he’s not yet able to grasp it.

Opening his eyes once more and seeing Xiao Yecao’s innocent and curious gaze, Li Muyang sighs and says,

“Xiao Yecao, can you tell me about your past?”

All the information and clues that Li Muyang has collected point to the danger originating from the little girl in front of him.

After all, there was no killer in the village who took advantage of people’s sleep to commit murder before this little girl arrived.

The murderer is most likely targeting Xiao Yecao.

If Li Muyang doesn’t adopt Xiao Yecao at the start, there’s a certain probability that this brat will die—after dozens of continuous attempts, Li Muyang has roughly estimated the girl’s death rate.

Without his adoption, this little girl has about a 30% chance of dying.

Various pieces of information and signs lead Li Muyang to believe that this brat, Xiao Yecao, knows information about the killer and she might even have a way to avoid the killer’s pursuit!

That 70% survival rate couldn’t possibly be because someone in the village saved her, right?

Li Muyang has confirmed through hundreds of deaths that no one in the village can help against that strange killer.

But even though he has found the direction to clear the game, this girl who calls herself Xiao Yecao is really tight-lipped.

In the past few days, whether Li Muyang has tried to persuade her gently or interrogate her harshly, whether he plays the good guy or the bad guy, the little girl just plays dumb.

Several times Li Muyang has tried to get closer to her, to build a relationship, to take her around the village for fun, to make her delicious food, to make her laugh with joy, and she even affectionately and gratefully grabbed Li Muyang’s hand and thanked “Elder Brother.”

But when Li Muyang looks up at the affection meter — 【Xiao Yecao: 0】

This brat is really good at acting and pretending, knowing at such a young age what it means to play a role and to feign compliance.

Faced with a little girl who is better at acting than a professional actor, Li Muyang is almost amused by his frustration.

To have such a female lead in a nurturing game… Li Muyang is even thinking about training her in the direction of a poisonous weed.

This wretched little girl really has the talent to become a demoness!
