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

Shen Yan's explanation made Li Muyang slightly raise his eyebrows.

"Oh? Chasing Nangong Ting for two years..."

That woman who liked to wear men's clothes, she actually had suitors?

Although in terms of facial appearance, Nangong Ting really wasn't bad.

Her bearing was extraordinary, possessing a kind of unique charm.

But hearing now that a suitor of Nangong Ting had shown up to cause trouble for Li Muyang in the streets of Tianjiao City, he still found it somewhat ridiculous.

He shook his head, "It seems your influence isn't always effective, huh..."

Shen Yan did command respect among those Hall Masters and Chiefs.

However, many of the flag bearers beneath them held an ambiguous attitude towards this former Sect Hierarch's daughter.

There were those who believed in Shen Yan, but many flag bearers simply disregarded her.

After all, Shen Yan was neither a Cultivator, nor did she understand martial arts, but was merely a plain human, even more frail than a common person.

Although this woman was clever, truly winning people over was indeed difficult.

Facing Li Muyang's teasing, Shen Yan sighed helplessly.

"Du Qi is different from others, he joined our sect just two years ago, although he is Liu Churen's follower, it was Nangong Ting he joined for."

"He doesn't have much faith in the doctrines or beliefs of our sect."

"Before joining our sect, he was just a Loose Cultivator without a master, having stumbled upon half of a cultivation secret manual in the mountains, and awkwardly cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Realm, nothing remarkable."

"Later, at the recommendation of Nangong Ting, he joined Jade Wave Hall and followed Liu Churen."

"While Du Qi's natural talent for cultivation was mediocre, his aptitude for the path of Martial Cultivation was unique. After joining our sect and being taught the Cultivation Technique by the Sect Hierarch, he quickly cultivated to the Space Command Realm of martial arts… equivalent to the Core Formation Realm of cultivators."

"In terms of martial cultivation, he is the top expert of our sect."

"When the uprising occurred, he was following the Sect Hierarch in attacking and seizing territories outside; otherwise, you might have met him back then."

Quietly explaining the background of this Du Qi, Shen Yan, troubled, instructed, "Auntie Ruan, you deal with this mad Du, I'll leave with Muyang first."

Soon, the carriage turned in another direction and went off.

Meanwhile, the flag bearer Ruan Mei stayed behind to block Du Qi.

Behind them, the street echoed with Du Qi's cursing.

"Li Muyang, you cower inside the carriage, letting a woman stand up for you, what kind of skill is that? Come out and face the real challenge!"

"Turtle-hidden Li Muyang!"

"So much for the so-called Martial God Domineering Body!"

"Coward!"

"Wimp!"

"Might as well cut off the balls beneath you and become a woman in the future!"

The carriage quickly drove away, and Du Qi's cursing gradually faded.

Shen Yan, massaging her temples, said wearily, "In the coming time, Du Qi might still come looking for you."

"Your Martial God Domineering Body has just made minor achievements, and taking him head-on might put you at a disadvantage..."

Shen Yan hesitated.

Li Muyang, however, smiled and nodded, "I understand, I'll avoid him."

Martial Cultivators, relying solely on martial cultivation to be comparable to Core Formation Realm?

Such people existed only in the Tian Yuan Dynasty.

I hadn't expected the Blood Lotus Cult to have such a heavyweight figure.

Li Muyang wasn't a foolish youth, so naturally he wouldn't seek his own death.

Although the Martial God Domineering Body was strong, it ultimately depended on cultivation and mana. Without mana and cultivation, the Martial God Domineering Body was like a rootless tree, and his strength greatly reduced.

The current Li Muyang, whose mana had been stripped and who had soaked in medicinal baths for two months, had indeed made minor achievements with his Martial God Domineering Body. However, only his physical strength had increased, not his mana.

Engaging with this martial cultivator, comparable to the Core Formation Realm, would likely be fraught with more peril than luck.

"I hadn't realized our sect contained such talent..."

In just two years from scratch, cultivating to rival Core Formation... this person's potential and status within the Blood Lotus Cult might even surpass my own as Martial God Domineering Body.

Perhaps that was also the confidence behind his daring to block the road and provoke Li Muyang on the street.

We are all rising stars with boundless potential, I, already a burgeoning martial cultivator genius, why should I fear you, a newly joined Martial God Domineering Body!

The carriage bypassed the area where Du Qi was blocking the road, then smoothly traveled through the city streets and arrived at the residence of the Sect Hierarch, Fang Yingtian.

No further incidents occurred on the latter part of the journey.

Li Muyang and Shen Yan entered Fang's residence together and simply had dinner with the Sect Hierarch, Fang Yingtian. Experience tales at empire

As the most prominent figure in the Blood Lotus Cult, Fang Yingtian was not the typical cult devil one might imagine.

His smile was gentle, and his demeanor scholarly, more like a regular middle-aged schoolteacher than a cult devil.

Despite being the leader of the sect, his home was quite frugal, and the family dinner was fairly ordinary without any exotic delicacies.

Besides Li Muyang and Shen Yan, the table also hosted the Qingfeng Hall Hall Master, Du Gu Yifang, and the late-arriving Banner Master Ruan Mei.

At this simple family dinner, not much about the sect affairs was discussed.

Fang Yingtian didn't, as Li Muyang had speculated, try to intimidate him or show him favor, but instead chatted amiably about many trivial matters.

This family dinner felt less like a gathering of cult leaders and more like a concern a middle-aged country schoolteacher would show towards his juniors.

At the end of the dinner, Fang Yingtian even walked Li Muyang and the others to the door, patted Li Muyang's hand with a smile, and told him to rest easy and to help Shen Yan more in the future.

For some reason, at that moment, Li Muyang suddenly felt as though he was visiting his girlfriend's hometown, being entrusted by her elder family members.

This inexplicable sense of déjà vu made him somewhat embarrassed.

So much so that on the return trip in the carriage, the atmosphere inside was slightly awkward.

It wasn't until both of them arrived back at the City Lord's mansion and each returned to their own rooms that the strange atmosphere completely dispersed.

Meanwhile, in the game world, atop a wall shrouded in ghostly fog, a girl clad in a white vestment robe naturally said to Li Muyang.

"...Uncle Fang must think my sister likes you."

"Over these years, it's the first time my sister has looked at someone of her own age with such regard."

"Other than you, there's been no one else my sister has valued so highly, often coming to chat with you every few days, constantly concerned about your daily life."

Shen Miao, hands on her hips, told the giant mantis before her, "And I saw your family dinner, I watched the whole thing."

"My sister was nervous there, while Uncle Fang had smiles for you the whole time."

"Oh, and after you left, he even told Du Gu Yifang that you are very promising, a trustworthy young man worth relying on, and that my sister hasn't misjudged you..."

The girl, sharing the perspective of both Fang Yingtian and Shen Yan, confirmed Li Muyang's guess.

She asked Li Muyang, "By the way, how about you? Do you like my sister?"

"If you marry my sister, you might even become the next Sect Hierarch of the Blood Lotus Cult."

"With my sister's help, and Uncle Fang supporting you, combined with your Martial God Domineering Body and your strange giant mantis 'mana body'... Wow! I can't even think of anyone else in the Blood Lotus Cult who could compete with you!"

Shen Miao grew more elated as she spoke, "Once you become the Sect Hierarch, you can throw tasty things into the cauldron whenever you want... wouldn't I then be able to eat whatever I desire?"

Looking delighted, Shen Miao turned to Li Muyang and asked, "Brother-in-law, when are you going to marry my sister?"
