The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 496: Spouting Fragrance
"Immortal Master…"
The little girl named Nie Yubing cautiously called out.
She stood outside the broken city gate, her expression somewhat uneasy.
Ahead, the demon mist was pervasive, a terrifying and penetrating aura continuously poured forth.
The vast Capital City, now shrouded in demon air and chilling winds, had completely turned into a demon's den.
The air was filled with an evil breath that made one's hair stand on end and the body uncomfortable.
And she, along with the Immortal Master, was about to step into such a den of demons…
A flicker of unease crossed the little girl's eyes.
Li Muyang glanced at her and asked, "Are you scared?"
For an eight-year-old girl, Nie Yubing being scared only at this moment was already very brave.
Yet the little girl hesitated for a moment and then nodded slightly.
"Scared."
Nie Yubing's voice was low as she said, "But being scared doesn't mean I can back down, I have to go in and save mother, now only I can save her."
The young girl's eyes were incredibly determined.
Seeing the young girl's scared yet determined expression, Li Muyang paused.
Then he patted her on the head and said, "Don't worry, she can be saved."
As long as it was a task given by the system, he would definitely clear it.
If not at once, then twice would suffice.
Li Muyang entered into the skin of the puppet demon and stepped directly into the demon fog-filled Capital City.
Inside the tall and broken gate passage, the road was lined with corpses.
There were soldiers in armor, mortals mangled by trampling, and many ferociously vicious monsters.
When the turmoil erupted, a massive chaos and brutal battle broke out at this city gate.
Now that the battle was over, only a wreckage was left at the entrance of the gate.
Li Muyang, escorting the little girl, waded through the corpses and crossed the silent passage to enter within the city walls.
The sight that met their eyes was of ruined streets, collapsed buildings, and the omnipresent thick demon fog.
The hustle and bustle of the Capital City were long gone, as if they were in another world.
It was as if they had come to the wrong place; this did not seem like the Capital City at all, but rather like an abandoned and desolate ancient battlefield.
The dense demon fog obscured their vision, preventing them from seeing beyond ten meters.
Within the mist, strange and aggressive roars could be heard occasionally, one could not guess how many monsters were lurking within this fog.
Li Muyang gazed at the bodies strewn across the streets and the ruined walls, squinting his eyes.
"Stay behind me."

In the now silent Capital City, with no living beings left and the living mutated, it had fully become the realm of monsters.
It was past noon. Despite the Sword Cultivators of the Mysterious Sword Sect causing trouble and rescuing some of the city's inhabitants, the Emperor's evil magic was still successfully cast, turning the creatures of the entire city into demons and descending into wickedness.
From now on, every step they took could bring them face to face with those mutated demons…
Pur—
The sound of blood splattering rang out behind Li Muyang.
He whirled around to see two ugly monsters slowly emerging into view in the air.
The little girl following behind Li Muyang had been decapitated.
The young girl's head rolled on the ground, her eyes wide with disbelief staring at the sky, seemingly astonished that her death had come so swiftly.
The two monsters that appeared from the air then let out taunting, triumphant laughs towards Li Muyang.
[Nie Yubing is dead, game over.]
The pop-up CG scene in his vision made Li Muyang cover his forehead with his hand.
"I'm so fucking…"
He opened his eyes, looked at the cabin of the Flying Boat before him, and cursed irritably.
Having not entered the game to fight monsters for several days, he forgot that the monsters in Capital City didn't leave any traces.
These monsters, conjured by the Emperor's sorcery, left no trace, as if they didn't exist in this world at all.
Even with his powerful out-of-body soul perception, he still couldn't sense their approach.
And now, within Capital City, there were as many as tens of thousands of such monsters.
Considering this situation, Li Muyang sighed.
"This main quest seems even harder than I imagined..."
To infiltrate the royal palace and rescue Nie Yubing's mother.
It sounded easy, but on the road to the palace, he didn't know how many times he'd have to fend off the monsters' attacks.
The monsters were silent and stealthy. No matter how strong Li Muyang's perception was, it was hard to cope with them.
He could only rely on retrying from saved games.
Thinking about the gruesome scene he had just witnessed, where the little girl was decapitated, Li Muyang could already foresee many upcoming failures.
Without saying a word, Li Muyang closed his eyes and re-entered the game.
"I hope I can make it into the palace before Yan Xiaoru returns."
Once Yan Xiaoru returned, they would have to discuss how to use the Ink Fairy's corpse puppet to break into the Refinement Demon Sect and seize the Divine Spirit Heart.
This task was incredibly important, and they had to seize the opportunity to complete it as soon as possible.
Once Yan Xiaoru returned, Li Muyang's game progress would have to be paused for a few days again.
With many events delaying his progress during this period, Li Muyang no longer had as much time to play the game as he did at the beginning.
He had to save as much time as possible and shorten the game completion process.
To die as few times as possible.
With this thought in mind, Li Muyang closed his eyes and once again entered the game.
Within the mist-shrouded Capital City, Li Muyang, protecting the little girl, stepped onto the battered streets.
As he did before, he shielded the little girl behind him, then began to speak.
Two semi-transparent monster shadows silently emerged from thin air, their sharp claws stretching out towards the naive girl's neck.
The little girl was completely unaware of the chilling menace approaching from behind.
However, just as the monsters' claws were about to touch the girl's neck, the robust arm of the disguise demon stretched out violently and tightly clutched the necks of both monsters.
Right as the monsters materialized from the air, they were lifted by their necks by the disguise demon.
Their eyes bulged in disbelief as they let out cries of astonishment.
But as soon as a single syllable of their raspy shrieks started, two crisp "snap" sounds echoed through the street.
With a fierce twist, Li Muyang broke the necks of both monsters, causing their bodies to instantly go limp and fall to the ground.
The entire process took only five seconds.
The girl, wide-eyed and dumbfounded, stared as the two monsters died so abruptly, instinctively drawing closer to the Immortal beside her for comfort.
Li Muyang, however, did not linger. He tossed the bodies of the two monsters aside as if they were bags of trash, and continued deeper into the mist with the little girl.
His destination was the heart of the monsters' lair, inside the imperial palace!
...
......
The salty sea breeze continuously beat the coastal vegetation.
Yan Xiaoru descended her Escaping Light and landed in a cove by the Misty Sea.
The place was secluded and desolate, far from the world of men.
In her view, mountains stretched endlessly, dense forests extended, and beasts and spirits roared within the woods, a pristine jungle untouched by human presence.
But after Yan Xiaoru landed her Escaping Light here, she didn't move any further.
She stood on the white sandy beach by the sea, squinting at the vast fog ahead, and took a deep breath.
