Games with fairies

Chapter 113 Snowy New Year’s Eve

In the moonlight-dark bamboo forest, a gentle breeze blew in my face.

In the sky, fine snow fell.

The weather in this secret place is completely consistent with the outside world.

In the reality of the outside world now, it should be the dead of winter and the snow is falling.

Therefore, there are also snowflakes falling in the secret realm.

Li Muyang sat by the fire roasting bamboo shoots on skewers, waiting for tonight's dinner to mature.

Opposite him, a woman wearing a brand new robe huddled up in her new clothes, staring blankly at the burning bonfire without saying a word.

It's not that it's cold, it's just that the atmosphere is simply awkward.

After witnessing the woman burying herself in the ground, Li Muyang hesitated and ran over to dig the woman out of the ground.

"When they suspect that I have harmed you, won't they want to turn me into ashes?"

Li Muyang, who was eating bamboo shoots, looked up at her and sighed: "If the secret realm is broken open by the sect master and the others, they find that I am the only one alive in the secret realm, but you, Elder Yan, are dead... How can I explain it?"

"...Why did you save me?"

And Yan Xiaoru, who was dug out, turned into what she looks like now.

After Yan Xiaoru pointed it out, Li Muyang shook his head nonchalantly: "Even so, you shouldn't die so easily... An ant can still live in vain. Elder Yan, you have finally reached the realm of the Immortal Movement, and you are a demonic master who dominates an area. , wouldn’t it be a pity to die in the secret realm like this?”

Li Muyang didn't speak, and she didn't speak either.

She was dragged into the bamboo forest by Li Muyang like a puppet on strings. She didn't resist at all, but she didn't say a word.

Yan Xiaoru, who had been silent for a long time, the first sentence she spoke was nonsense.

Yan Xiaoru, who is in the Immortal Ascension Realm, is already a powerful person in the eyes of most practitioners.

The two of them have been trapped in the secret realm for three months. If the people from the Demon Sect had discovered the secret realm and could save the two of them, they would have broken through the secret realm and rescued them long ago.

Apparently, the Demon Sect believed that both Li Muyang and Yan Xiaoru had died underground, with no bones left.

Yan Xiaoru frowned and looked at him: "Now that things have happened, do you still think there is hope of getting out?"

This is obvious.

What Li Muyang said makes sense.

Further up is the Purple Mansion Realm.

Yan Xiaoru, who is in the Immortal Ascension Realm, is almost at the pinnacle of cultivation in this world.

It wasn't until the snow fell from the sky that the woman took out a brand new robe from the Qiankun Ring and wrapped it up.

The way she looked at Li Muyang was like looking at an innocent fool.

But the powerful people in the Purple Mansion Realm are all overlords and masters of the world.

This silence lasted until Li Muyang roasted the bamboo shoots skewered on bamboo sticks and began to gnaw on the bamboo shoots. The woman's eyes moved.

But until now, there has been no movement in the secret realm.

It would be a pity if such a cultivation level died here.

But Yan Xiaoru looked indifferent and had no reaction to Li Muyang's words.

"Being too obsessed with life and death and fearing death will actually make you look ugly."

"Instead of dying in a cowardly and miserable manner, it is better to walk more magnanimously while still breathing."

After Yan Xiaoru said this with a cold expression, a wisp of black blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Her complexion suddenly turned purple and blue.

Although this strange expression quickly returned to normal, it still shocked Li Muyang slightly.

"Elder Yan, you..."

"Poisoned, demon poison," Yan Xiaoru said with an indifferent expression: "I was poisoned by the demon poison of the female centipede in Centipede Ridge. The poison penetrated into my bones and I will not die soon."

"In normal times, I can force out the toxins and slowly recuperate. But in this secret realm, my cultivation has been reduced, and I can only rely on the elixir in the Qiankun Ring to survive."

"But the elixir can only delay the spread of the toxin, but cannot detoxify it. My death is irreversible."

Yan Xiaoru finished speaking with a cold expression, and then looked at Li Muyang: "So do you understand why I committed suicide?"

"Uh... I probably understand," Li Muyang nodded. Yan Xiaoru, who was poisoned by centipede poison, didn't want people to see her miserable death state after the poison penetrated deep into her bone marrow and she died in pain.

It is said that after the evil poison enters the body, the mind will go crazy before death, the body will mutate into an ugly appearance that is neither human nor demon, and finally die in an extremely ugly and miserable state.

This thing is a bit like the corpse poison in previous zombie movies. If you get infected, you will turn into a monster.

Yan Xiaoru, who knew that the poison was terrible, decided to give herself a dignified death and dug a hole to bury herself before the poison spread throughout her body.

This is indeed an idea that ordinary people can understand.

But Li Muyang still shook his head.

"But Elder Yan, you can't die yet. Can't you still hold on now?"

"Hold on a little longer."

"If you really can't hold it anymore, I will give you a break at the critical moment so that you can go more calmly."

"But before that, let us continue to wait. Maybe the secret realm will be broken by the sect master and the others tomorrow?"

Li Muyang spoke very cheerfully, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

If someone who didn't know saw his face, they would probably think of him as that kind of sunny boy who was optimistic, cheerful and positive.

Yan Xiaoru looked at him silently for a long time, and finally her eyes were cold.

"Bullshit!"

"If you dare to stop me next time, I will kill you!"

Yan Xiaoru, the elder of the Demon Sect, said such harsh words.

Obviously Li Muyang's persuasion had no effect.

But in this situation, the woman's dry threatening words didn't have much lethality.

Li Muyang looked at her helplessly and spread his hands: "If the sect leader and the others break through the secret realm and find that I refuse to save you, Elder Yan... they will kill me too."

Yan Xiaoru: "..."

"So Elder Yan, let's hold on for a few more days. If we really can't hold on anymore, I promise that I will give you a good time and I won't let you suffer."

Li Muyang is very sincere.

He was almost finished with the Jinghong Sword Technique, and he had to persuade Yan Xiaoru no matter what, not to let her die here.

But this time, faced with Li Muyang's sincere persuasion, Yan Xiaoru said nothing.

She curled up, tightly wrapped her robe, and fell into silence with an expressionless face.

It seemed to be tacit approval.

After all, Li Muyang's reasons were also very strong, and at this time, it was difficult for her to ignore Li Muyang's opinions.

Seeing Yan Xiaoru stop, Li Muyang also breathed a sigh of relief, and then handed over the roasted bamboo shoot skewers in his hand.

Yan Xiaoru was startled for a moment when the fragrant bamboo shoots were placed in front of her, and she frowned and looked at Li Muyang.

But he saw Li Muyang with a bright smile on his face: "I calculated the date, tonight is New Year's Eve... Elder Yan, would you like to taste it?"

"The bamboo shoots in this secret place actually have spiritual energy in them. They taste very good. They are just for dinner."

The first New Year in this world was actually spent in a secret realm.

Li Muyang handed over the bamboo shoots to express his goodwill.

He remembered that Elder Yan was a foodie, and the Qiankun Ring contained a bunch of snacks.

And the bamboo shoots in this secret place are indeed delicious. Even if they are simply grilled over charcoal without seasoning, they still have a fragrant aroma.

Sure enough, Yan Xiaoru's nose twitched when she smelled the fragrance of bamboo shoots.

After a moment of silence, she silently reached out and took the roasted bamboo shoots.

Next to the fire, there was the sound of a woman chewing.

After a while, her voice was heard.

"Give me two more skewers..."
