The Game with Fairies

“Brother? Why do you seem so restless?”

During dinner, Li Yuechan curiously looked at her brother and asked.

At that moment, Li Muyang’s brows were furrowed as if he was pondering some significant matter.

It was rare to see her brother, who usually kept to himself and seemed indifferent to everything, looking so serious.

Hearing his sister’s voice, Li Muyang looked up in surprise and asked, “You didn’t go to have dinner with Senior Sister Ning tonight?”

Ning Wan’er, who had entered the Inner Sect and became a direct disciple, was now out of Li Muyang and the others’ league.

All outer disciples had to respectfully address Ning Wan’er as “Senior Sister.”

Over the past few days, Li Yuechan had often been invited by Ning Wan’er to dine and chat together, sometimes even staying over.

The two girls shared the same bed, so their sisterly bond was deep.

After all, it was akin to being favored by a direct disciple, almost a guarantee of rapid advancement in the future.

For this reason, many have been bothering Li Muyang these days.

The group of outer disciples on the flying boat were all eager to climb the ranks. In their eyes, the connection Li Muyang and his sister had with direct disciple Ning Wan’er was highly coveted, and everyone wanted to get close.

It was because of these persistent disciples that Li Muyang was forced to hide in a corner away from the crowd and secretly playing his game.

But unexpectedly, he overheard the legend of Demon Sword City…

Recalling the tale he had heard at the end of the flying boat and looking at his little sister, Li Muyang shook his head.

“Let’s sit down and eat first.”

It was already past dinner time, and the dining hall was almost empty.

To avoid those eager disciples, Li Muyang had been showing up after most people had left the dining hall.

But unexpectedly, his sister Li Yuechan had also come.

Li Yuechan obediently nodded, picked up the food she had just gotten, and sat opposite Li Muyang.

“Today, Sister Ning had things to take care of, so I didn’t bother her. Besides, if Sister Ning needs me, she’ll send someone to notify me.”

Curious, she looked at Li Muyang and returned to her original question.

“Brother, you haven’t said anything yet… what are you thinking about? Why do you seem so distracted?”

Li Yuechan was full of curiosity.

Her brother was mysterious and had some secrets unknown to others.

Although the girl was sensible and did not pry, it didn’t mean she wasn’t curious.

Seeing his sister’s curious gaze, Li Muyang shook his head and said, “I was just thinking about Demon Sword City.”

Could the Demon Sword City we’re going to be the Nanjiang City from the game?

But how did a perfectly good Nanjiang City become Demon Sword City?

Could the system be changing names in secret again?

Li Muyang pondered, “Why is it called Demon Sword City? Is there a powerful demon sword that came out of the city?”

Li Yuechan, although from the remote Jiuyuan City like him, was closer to Ning Wan’er and surely knew more about the trip.

Most outer disciples only knew they were going to Demon Sword City, but what they were going to do there and what the mission was remained a mystery.

Sure enough, little sister Li Yuechan giggled and said, “I happen to have heard Sister Ning mention this. It’s related to a legend.”

“…but why are you suddenly curious about Demon Sword City?”

–Previously, you weren’t curious before the trip, nor during these days, but now that we’re almost at Demon Sword City, you suddenly become curious… it’s a bit strange. �

Li Yuechan playfully blinked but didn’t press further.

Seeing Li Muyang starting to think of a reason, the girl cheerfully began to explain, “The naming of Demon Sword City comes from a legend.”

“It’s said that long ago, this city wasn’t called Demon Sword City. It had another name.”

“Back then, immortals, demons, and evil spirits roamed the world. It was the last days of the mythological era, with immortals who had eternal life walking among the people and natural divine spirits being born.”

“When Demon Sword City was first established, humans and demons lived together in harmony and prosperity. Demons didn’t eat humans, humans didn’t shun demons, and it was even common for demons and humans to intermarry.”

“However, a catastrophe later occurred that changed everything.”

“It’s said that a demon sword appeared in the city, which did not discriminate between good and evil, slaughtering both demons and humans alike.”

“Thus, the living beings of Demon Sword City either died or fled and leaving it empty. A once thriving municipality turned into a city of death.”

“It wasn’t until a thousand years ago that the Demon Refining Sect was established by the Demon Refining Ancestor, who unified the region and reactivated this ancient city that had been abandoned for thousands of years. After relocating many refugees into it, the city began to thrive again.”

“Today, although Demon Sword City is not as prosperous, there are two bloodstone mines outside the city, which the sect values greatly.”

“This time, Elder Yan is going to Demon Sword City because there was an issue with the bloodstone mines requiring the suppression of a high-ranking elder, which is why Elder Yan took action.”

Towards the end, Li Yuechan lowered her voice, almost whispering into Li Muyang’s ear.

The siblings whispered to each other, sharing the secrets they had discovered.

“Bloodstone mines…”

Li Muyang’s mind was alert.

He wasn’t concerned about the bloodstone mines, even though they were an important resource for demonic cultivation.

But the most important piece of information in Li Yuechan’s words was the past of Demon Sword City.

An ancient city established thousands of years ago, where humans and demons coexisted and prospered until a disaster struck, turning it into a deserted city.

–This really is exactly like Nanjiang City in the game!

In the game, with Fairy Yu’s demise, Nanjiang City was on the brink of chaos.

Once the demons and humans in the city started a full-scale war, the fall of Nanjiang City would be imminent.

But the demon sword…

There didn’t seem to be a demon sword in the game, only an immortal sword.

A thought struck Li Muyang, and he asked, “Do you know what demon sword was in Demon Sword City?”

But he saw his little sister shake her head.

The girl said, “I don’t know about it, Sister Ning didn’t tell me.”

“She only mentioned a bit about Demon Sword City when we talked about this trip, she didn’t really talk about the demon sword… Why? Brother, are you interested in the demon sword?”

Li Yuechan said with a giggly smile, “If you want to know, I’ll ask Sister Ning more about it next time I see her.”

Li Yuechan’s smile carried a hint of teasing.

After all, Ning Wan’er was once the object of Li Muyang’s affection.

But faced with his sister’s teasing, Li Muyang remained uninterested.

He nodded and said, “Okay, then please do that for me, I am quite curious about this legend.”

Li Muyang’s eyes were sincere, and his tone was natural, without a trace of embarrassment or conflict.

Seeing him so composed, Li Yuechan pouted and huffed, “Brother…”

The girl looked around, seeing that they were alone, and suddenly spoke up.

“Tell me the truth, have you really lost interest in Sister Ning?”

“Your hot-and-cold behavior towards her… Are you really not playing hard to get?”
