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

Under the moonlight, the foot of Black Stone Mountain, which looked gloomy and eerily sinister, was unexpectedly brightly lit, home to a bustling little mortal town.

Although its walls were low, built with rammed earth, and its defensive capabilities underwhelming,

in the wilderness beyond the rule of any dynasty, such walls were already considered formidable, sufficient to withstand the ravages of robbers and bandits.

Behind those humble walls, nearly every household in the city had its lights on.

As Li Muyang approached the city walls, he could even hear the noise coming from within.

The city seemed as lively as if a festival were taking place.

The Dragon Lady felt astonishment, and Li Muyang was also quite surprised.

Under the watchful eyes of that group of sinister and terrifying women, there was actually such a bustling human town.

He scaled the city wall without a sound, stepping into the city.

Indeed, inside the city, a celebration was in progress.

With homes festooned with lanterns and banners, crowds of people covered in bright paint and dressed in red ceremonial robes chanted in strange tongues, beating drums and sticks as they paraded through the streets.

And the bystanders on both sides of the road cheered and shouted in response.

Li Muyang stood in the midst of the crowd, watching for a while, his face showing a look of astonishment.

For the people in red robes with strange paint on their faces were shouting as they carried a lifelike statue of a deity through the city.

Everyone was chanting the deity's venerable name, and under the bright lights, the side profile of the lifelike statue—a supremely beautiful and serene immortal maiden—was clearly visible.

The voice of the Dragon Lady, full of astonishment, sounded in his ear.

"Li Muyang! Isn't that your Chu Qingxue?!"

The Dragon Lady was incredibly shocked.

Li Muyang, seeing the statue, was dumbstruck as well.

For the entire city was chanting the immortal maiden's title.

"Longevity and Happiness to the Glass Immortal Maiden!"

"Eternal Wealth and Blessings to the Glass Immortal Maiden!"

The whole city was celebrating and praying to the supremely beautiful and serene immortal maiden.

The Dragon Lady was scared by the fanatical behavior of these people.

"Your Immortal Chu wouldn't be the mastermind behind this, would she..."

Li Muyang, with narrowed eyes observing the city's festivities, shook his head: "Impossible! Qing Xue could never be an evil being!"

The scene before him was clearly of the same nature as the evil women from the Buddhist Goddess Temple entering the pass to impersonate the Glass Immortal Maiden.

They were merely using Chu Qingxue's name for their own purposes.

However, Li Muyang had no idea why the Buddhist Goddess Temple would impersonate the Glass Immortal Maiden for their own ends.

He followed the crowd for a long time, all the way to the end of the street parade, until the lifelike statue was respectfully brought into the Glass Temple in the city and restored to its place on the altar.

Li Muyang, who witnessed the entire celebration, felt somewhat disappointed.

Following the procession the whole way, he had hoped to pull a few evil women aside and potentially extract some information from them.

However, everyone in the city were mortals, and even the Glass Temple that offered up the statue of the Glass Immortal Maiden was staffed entirely by mortals—no evil women to be found.

The peculiar aura of the evil women from the Buddhist Goddess Temple was too distinct to mistake.

Had Li Muyang seen one, he would have recognized her without doubt.

After wasting more than an hour, Li Muyang had no choice but to look up towards the imposing mountain ahead.

The pitch-black Black Stone Mountain, like a sinister Evil God lurking quietly in the shadows beside the town,

had its summit clearly visible from the mountain bereft of soil and weeds, where buildings resembling a temple complex stood.

Li Muyang sighed, "If only I had known, I would have gone directly to the mountain."

He left the bustling town, teeming with festivity, with light steps, heading towards Black Stone Mountain.

But not long after entering Black Stone Mountain, Li Muyang encountered the evil women he couldn't find no matter how hard he searched in the town.

—Two women draped in black garments, carrying black swords on their backs, stood quietly waiting on the mountain path.

"Is it the Dragon Goddess of Jade Water River? The Buddhist Goddess awaits you on the mountain,"

the two evil women said, bowing respectfully to Li Muyang.

They did not seem as crazed as the Evil Woman they had seen before, nor did they excitedly shout "Ascendant" at the sight of Li Muyang.

The two Evil Women, with their respectful demeanor, were almost indistinguishable from ordinary people.

If not for the unmistakably distinct cold aura emanating from them, one would hardly associate them with the Evil Women.

Li Muyang fell silent for a moment, then nodded, "Lead the way."

Having arrived right at their doorstep, Li Muyang had no plans to hide his presence.

If he had reached the foot of the mountain and entered the Mother Buddha Temple without being detected, these Evil Women would have had no place in the frontier.

Li Muyang followed the two Evil Women up the path, climbing Black Stone Mountain on staircases carved right into the mountain, many of which were vertical.

Such steep stone steps could only be braved by Cultivators.

Li Muyang followed behind the two Evil Women, moving as if on level ground on the nearly vertical stone path.

Soon, he encountered more Evil Women.

On the stone mountain, devoid of almost any soil and entirely smooth, were scattered the figures of various women.

They were dressed differently, but each certainly carried a black sword on her back.

Li Muyang, following the two Evil Women, climbed the stone paths, and all the Evil Women they passed by gazed at him with curiosity and surprise.

But these Evil Women, just like ordinary women, showed no trace of madness in their demeanor.

Li Muyang silently observed the attitudes and clothing of these Evil Women, feeling somewhat disappointed.

So far, he had seen dozens of Evil Women.

But not a single one of them wore a fragrance pouch.

Do none of the Evil Women on this mountain carry the White Bone Great Year...?

Following the steps of the two Evil Women, Li Muyang finally arrived at the summit of Black Stone Mountain.

At the top was an exceedingly spacious platform, with a temple built on it, emitting a strong malevolent energy under the moonlight.

Just seeing the temple and feeling its energy was too much for the Dragon Maiden.

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't go in there! Don't go in!"

The aura of these Evil Women naturally repelled both Li Muyang and Bite-Moon Crocodile.

Seeing how intense the malevolent energy was inside the temple, the Dragon Maiden was immediately anxious.

"Going in there would be no different from walking into a latrine!"

However, Li Muyang ignored the Dragon Maiden's cries.

He bore the discomfort in his body, furrowed his brows, and stepped into the Mother Buddha Temple.

Inside the gloomy and dark Mother Buddha Temple, only one hall had lights on.

The destination where Li Muyang was led to was this hall, lit by a single faint, lonely lamp.

In the expansive hall stood an altar, upon which was a ten-meter-tall magnificent statue.

Cold and exquisitely beautiful, carrying an Immortal Sword, the statue depicted the same person worshiped by the mortals below the mountain—the Glass Immortal Maiden.

And in front of this giant statue in the vacant hall, sat a quiet figure.

A lone lamp was lit beside her.

The dim yellow light cast upon the woman made her face fluctuate between light and shadow.

However, the moment the Dragon Maiden saw the woman's face, she was utterly shocked.

"Chu Qingxue?"

She called out in utter terror, "Li Muyang! Your old flame is indeed the mastermind behind the scenes!"

——The woman sitting upright inside the hall had a face identical to Chu Qingxue's!

Li Muyang's expression also paused slightly, revealing astonished eyes.

But under the solitary lamp, the woman with the same face as Glass Immortal Maiden Chu Qingxue, with hands clasped together, softly smiled and said.

"We finally meet."

"Nameless Lord..."

"I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
