Chapter 387 Punishment of Shame
[Special Item: Flesh and Bone Robe (Already Obtained)]
[Introduction: An evil artifact born before ancient times, a terrifying evil spirit wanders the world, having spread fear and despair among all]
[Nightmare Soul Slaughter: The Flesh and Bone Robe possesses terrifying power, capable of ignoring spatial distances to suppress enemies, dragging them into dreams, and slaughtering their souls]
[Ancient Fear (Special Skill): Having wandered the world, spreading despair and fear, creatures recall this fear in their veins. When facing the Flesh and Bone Robe, creatures will enter a state of fear, with their cultivation reduced by 30%]
[Immortal Evil: In the dream realm, the Flesh and Bone Robe possesses an undying body. Even if defeated in the dream realm, as long as the original body is intact, the Flesh and Bone Robe will quickly revive]
[Usage: Place a finger inside the mouth of the Flesh and Bone Robe and feed it with blood while visualizing the target's appearance and identity, the Flesh and Bone Robe will enter the target's dream and will not rest until death]
[Note: This item cannot be used on True Immortals!]
Looking at the life-like, drastically transformed figurine of the robed figure in his hands, Li Muyang was delighted.
"What a great item!"
This is really a great item!
After advancing two levels, the power of the Flesh and Bone Robe has clearly increased a lot!
However, it wasn't clear to what level of cultivators the now enhanced Flesh and Bone Robe could slaughter.
But according to the item's introduction text, as long as it doesn't interfere with the Immortals, it could provoke anyone below them.
Even if the Flesh and Bone Robe couldn't defeat an opponent, the item could forcibly drag enemies into the realm of dreams.
Once targeted by the Flesh and Bone Robe, the enemy would repeatedly enter a state of sleep, enough to vex them to death.
If operated correctly, perhaps he could take advantage of the moment the enemy fell asleep to launch a sneak attack...
Li Muyang, holding the Flesh and Bone Robe, quickly thought of a host of playful tactics.
After fondling the beloved Flesh and Bone Robe for a while, Li Muyang eagerly opened the game and returned to the game world.
After clearing the fourth stage, the game "Deadly Wild Grass" had now entered the fifth stage.
Based on previous experience, the fifth stage was no longer routine.
It would presumably be a series of high-difficulty levels waiting to be challenged.
Li Muyang, rubbing his hands together, was high-spirited.
However, the moment he entered the game, he was stunned.
The anticipated deadly battles and difficult levels did not occur.
When he returned to the game, he found himself standing in front of the main gate of Black Cloud Fort's ancestral temple.
The sky's rosy clouds were gradually fading, and golden lotuses on the ground slowly dissipated.
Little Wild Grass suddenly rushed forward and hugged Li Muyang tightly.
"Big brother..."
The voice of Little Wild Grass was choked and regretful.
"Why didn't you save yourself?"
"It was the only chance, why did you use it to help me ascend to immortality? It was the last hope... sob... sob sob sob..."
Little Wild Grass, now an immortal, had none of the dignity expected of a fairy at this moment.
Instead, she clung to Li Muyang like a little girl who hadn't grown up, sobbing bitterly and inconsolably.
She cried so heartbreakingly, she couldn't even speak. Her body shuddered as she wept.
Li Muyang stood frozen in place, feeling his shoulder quickly get soaked and noticed an old woman glaring coldly at him before she left.@@novelbin@@
Leaving only him and Little Wild Grass in front of the ancestral temple, Li Muyang hesitated but didn't reply, just waited for Little Wild Grass to cry.
But the girl in his arms cried for a long time. Seeing that Li Muyang remained silent, Little Wild Grass sobbed even more heartbreakingly.
"Big brother, why aren't you saying anything? Sob sob sob..."
Feeling the extreme emotions of the girl in his arms, Li Muyang helplessly spread his arms and said, "Given this situation, what can I say?"
After confirming that Little Wild Grass had ascended to immortality, Li Muyang pondered for a moment and said,
"Actually, I've always known what you're struggling with, your emotional burdens, and also knew that it would have been very hard for you to become an immortal on your own..."
Li Muyang helplessly continued, "So, I decided to give you a hand. After all, I belong to a cursed lineage and cannot cultivate."
"Even if I saved myself, I could only live a few more decades."
"Rather than that, I'd rather help you become an immortal. The world is becoming dangerous now, even the North Sea Dragon Lord has been slain. I feel that a terrible disaster is about to happen."
"If you were an immortal, at least you could protect yourself."
Li Muyang, having revealed his heartfelt yet partially true thoughts, caused the woman in his arms to stiffen suddenly.
Little Wild Grass, who had been crying for a long time, suddenly stopped.
Her heart racing, she lifted her head and hurriedly backed away as if she were a child who had been caught misbehaving by her family, sneaking peeks at Li Muyang's face with a guilty and unsettled expression as she spoke uncertainly.
"Didn't I already tell you my troubles..."
Little Wild Grass said guiltily, "It's because I couldn't grasp the final mystery that I've had such difficulty becoming an Immortal."
To this, Li Muyang rolled his eyes and said, "At this point, is there still a need to lie?"
"I've always refrained from pointing this out because I was afraid it would disturb your state of mind and make it even harder for you to become an Immortal."
"But now that you've become an Immortal, there's nothing left to hide."
As Li Muyang spoke, each sentence added to the panic visible on the woman's face.
Little Wild Grass, now an Immortal, stood before the mortal Li Muyang, yet fear and nervousness made her continually step back as if she wanted to flee.
However, Li Muyang gave her no chance to escape, mercilessly tearing apart the façade Little Wild Grass had maintained for so long.
"The issue you're caught up in is nothing other than me," he said.
Li Muyang stood his ground and rolled his eyes, saying, "You've been alone and miserable since childhood, with cruel parents who never gave you the warmth of home."
"After I saved you, you experienced the family care you longed for."
"So, during our time together, you gradually began to see me as a brother, even a father-figure, happily cared for by me, greedily enjoying the affection, relishing this beautiful family bond."
"But as we spent time together, you gradually developed romantic feelings for me."
"You grew to love me, developed romantic feelings, and like all women who fall in love, you desired to spend eternity with me, to live together forever."
"But you also feared that if we became lovers, I would be like your father, shifting my affections and taking multiple wives, and then you would lose me forever."
"If you maintain the status quo, staying as my 'sister,' then you can stay by my side with a clear conscience, ask to be spoiled, ask for hugs. Even if I marry many more women in the future, you, as the 'sister,' can still thick-skinnedly stay by my side."
"Although you decided this in your heart, you suffered during our interactions, every time hearing about or seeing women admiring me or pursuing me. You smiled outwardly, but inside you were frantic, terrified that I would really be with those women."
"But as a 'sister,' no matter how anxious you felt inside, you could only feign laughter, teasing me cautiously, testing me. Hearing that I didn't like those women, you immediately hid and secretly rejoiced."
"But after your joy came regret, feeling that this might delay my life, turn me into a lonely man, a widower who had never tasted true love..."
Li Muyang, rolling his eyes, laid bare Little Wild Grass's conflicted emotions without any concealment.
His every word, each a sharp sword, deeply pierced Little Wild Grass's heart.
With each word he spoke, her face grew a shade redder.
By the time Li Muyang mentioned "widower," Little Wild Grass's face had turned as red as a liver, and even steam appeared over her head, as if she were a boiling teapot.
Seeing that Li Muyang had said so much and was still not finished, Little Wild Grass couldn't take it anymore.
Overwhelmed with shame, she covered her face and cried out for mercy.
"Ah, stop! Stop talking!"
Little Wild Grass directly burrowed into the ground, curling up completely, as if this would prevent her from facing Li Muyang.
"Oh! Big brother, you actually know everything!"
At this moment, Little Wild Grass wished she could just die from her embarrassment.
Her little schemes had not remained hidden; she thought she had masked them well, but big brother had known all along.
—And he knew with crystal clarity!
So every time in the past when she acted spoiled on purpose, begged for hugs from big brother, or even kissed big brother's face, then secretly thrilled and felt her heart race from such affectionate contact…Big brother knew it all!
Ahhhhhhh!
I'm going to die!
I'm really going to die!
I can't face anyone ever again!
Little Wild Grass covered her face, her voice trembling with tears as she said, "I don't want to become an Immortal anymore! I don't want to cultivate anymore!"
"Wahhhhh…"

Becoming an Immortal means being tormented by big brother!
Wahhh...
At this moment, Little Wild Grass, overwhelmed with shame, wanted to completely bury herself underground and never come out again in her life.
The deepest secret buried in her heart had been mercilessly dug up by Li Muyang and laid bare under the harsh sunlight… Her entire being was falling apart.
