The Game with Fairies

Chapter 206

Li Muyang had no strong sense of belonging to the Demon Refining Sect.

In his view, serving the Demon Refining Sect or the Blood Lotus Sect made no difference.

He just didn’t want to survive alone; at the very least, he wanted to leave alive with Yan Xiaoru.

But upon hearing his words, Yan Xiaoru slowly shook her head.

“Even if the Blood Lotus Sect allowed you to take me with you in surrender, I wouldn’t go.”

“Leaving the Demon Refining Sect and losing the status of an enforcement elder is no different from death to me.”

“I cannot lose the status of an elder.”

Yan Xiaoru’s calm yet serious words took Li Muyang aback.

He didn’t think Yan Xiaoru was someone who coveted power.

Therefore, there must be other reasons why Yan Xiaoru valued her status as an elder of the Demonic Sect so much.

Li Muyang looked puzzled and hesitated before asking cautiously, “Can you tell me the reason?”

Yan Xiaoru was perhaps being overly cautious with him.

Honestly, with Yan Xiaoru’s status as an elder, keeping a pretty-faced man as a concubine wouldn’t be a problem at all. At worst, her reputation might suffer a bit.

Of course, Li Muyang also didn’t want to appear before others as Elder Yan’s concubine.

Keeping this a secret was a consensus between the two. But Li Muyang was still curious about why Yan Xiaoru wanted to keep it a secret and why she valued her status as an elder of the Demonic Sect so much…

Looking at Li Muyang’s confused expression, Yan Xiaoru opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain.

But in the end, she shook her head.

“It’s just some personal matters of mine, no need to tell you.”

“Knowing about it would only add to your troubles, and we might be separated by life and death tomorrow. I don’t want you to be troubled by my personal matters for the rest of your life.”

Yan Xiaoru’s tone was cold.

Her words clearly meant that she believed Li Muyang could survive.

She didn’t want to burden Li Muyang, and in her eyes, she felt that it wasn’t something Li Muyang could resolve, and telling him might trouble him for a lifetime…

Li Muyang smiled helplessly and wrapped his arms around the woman’s waist.

“You have so much faith that I’ll run around for your sake after your death? Be troubled for the rest of my life… I hadn’t realized I was seen as such a devoted lover in your eyes.”

Yan Xiaoru stood expressionless, allowing Li Muyang to hold her tight.

Their chests pressed closely together, and the man’s hands began to wander restlessly around her waist.

But Yan Xiaoru just looked at Li Muyang coldly and said, “If I didn’t acknowledge you, I wouldn’t let you mess around like this.”

She stood there, not responding to Li Muyang’s affectionate actions but also not resisting. But her words were clearly like a confession of love, albeit spoken in a very cold tone.

Li Muyang took advantage of the situation, his right hand beginning to slowly move down her waist.

Sensing the man’s hand sliding down, Yan Xiaoru’s body stiffened abruptly, and she glared at Li Muyang. But the next second, before Li Muyang could respond, she silently shifted her gaze away.

It was almost like tacit consent.

Feeling the stiffness and unease of the woman in his arms, Li Muyang smacked his lips, not expecting Yan Xiaoru to give in so much under the threat of life and death.

Li Muyang affectionately rested his chin on the woman’s shoulder and whispered, “We’re not at the end of our rope yet, why be so downhearted? Cheer up, the sky isn’t falling…”

Yan Xiaoru, expressionless, let him have his way: “Then take your hand away, stop kneading.”

Li Muyang chuckled and said, “No can do, one thing at a time.”

Yan Xiaoru, this Demonic Sect elder, was clearly a cold and emotionless woman, yet her figure was so rule-breaking.

With curves in all the right places, the feel of her was just too good.

Li Muyang took liberties with Yan Xiaoru, enjoying a wonderful sensation he had never experienced in his past or present life, feeling that life was so beautiful.

At this moment, even the incessant jeering of the Blood Lotus Sect followers at the foot of the hill didn’t seem so annoying.

But just as the atmosphere in the tent grew increasingly intimate, a certain change suddenly occurred in the ground beneath the two of them.

Yan Xiaoru and Li Muyang, wrapped in each other’s arms, instantly noticed something strange about the soil a few zhang away.

However, by the time they looked over, that patch of soil was already writhing and spitting out a disheveled figure.

“Elder Yan, I finally, uh…”

An inner disciple clad in a white robe, covered in mud, crawled out from the ground.

However, the scene he looked up to see left him dumbfounded.

The high and aloof Elder Yan, whom everyone revered, was now leaning tenderly in a man’s embrace.

This man was ragged, his upper body bare, but his tattered clothing still identified him as an Inner Sect disciple in a white robe.

Yet such a pair, with such a disparity in status, were now embracing each other…

The inner disciple who had crawled out of the ground was stunned by this scene.

He hastily bowed his head, frantically kowtowing in extreme panic.

“I deserve death! I deserve death! I should not have entered without being announced!”

However, Yan Xiaoru did not seem to blame him at all, her tone remaining calm and indifferent.

“Did the sect leader send you?”

Yan Xiaoru’s indifferent tone seemed to show no concern that her secret had been discovered.

Seeing that Elder Yan was not angry, the inner disciple who had emerged from the ground secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he respectfully said, “Reporting to Elder Yan, the sect leader knew you were trapped here and sent me to deliver this treasure to help Elder Yan escape!”

After speaking, the disciple in white took out a light blue transparent jade shuttle.

The jade shuttle was crystal clear, with a light blue nebula silently drifting inside, breathtakingly beautiful, clearly a precious treasure.

Seeing the jade shuttle, Yan Xiaoru’s eyes flickered slightly.

“The Flying Moon Shuttle crafted by Elder Ge… With this treasure, indeed, I can leave this place.”

Yan Xiaoru stepped forward, took the respectfully offered jade shuttle from the disciple in white, and asked, “What about you? Did the sect leader give you any instructions?”

The disciple in white respectfully said, “The Earth Escape Talisman that brought me here can only be used once, so the sect leader ordered me to stay and face the situation together with the other Senior Brothers here. By noon tomorrow at the latest, the sect’s reinforcements will arrive to rescue all the Demonic Sect disciples on the hill!”

The disciple in white answered respectfully.

However, the moment he finished speaking, Yan Xiaoru took a long knife from her Qiankun Ring and casually beheaded him.

Amidst the sound of blood splattering, Yan Xiaoru said expressionlessly,

“There are no reinforcements. Gong Yanghong sending you, an inner disciple, on this mission is already the limit.”

“In a forbidden area where all cultivation is sealed, the Earth Escape Talisman that allowed you to travel underground for thousands of li was refined by the sect at great cost. How could they have any energy left to care about your life and death?”

“The combined value of all the sect disciples on Pingyang Hill is probably not as high as that of this Earth Escape Talisman.”

“The Flying Moon Shuttle can only take one person away. Simply put, all the Demonic Sect disciples on Pingyang Hill have been abandoned by the sect.”

“It’s so obvious that this is a suicide mission… no wonder Gong Yanghong chose you…”

At this point, Yan Xiaoru looked at Li Muyang.

Her gaze softened, but her tone became resolute.

“This time, you can go down the mountain and surrender.”

“The sect leader chose the simplest and most trouble-free rescue method, saving only me.”

“The Flying Moon Shuttle can only take one person, but you can surrender to the Blood Lotus Sect and become one of their Helmsmen.”

“After I return, I will ensure your family is hidden away. Once the situation calms down, they will be sent to reunite with you, and they will not be harmed by the sect.”

Yan Xiaoru said this and let out a gentle sigh, falling silent.
