Chapter 411 The Legend of Fairy Qinghe
"The cultivators in that ancient cave dwelling weren’t very strong, just in the Purple Mansion Realm, and the things they left behind weren’t very valuable."
"That’s why the force our sect sent to guard it wasn’t very powerful, leading to many bold Loose Cultivators who had the courage to try and snatch it amidst the chaos."
"But unfortunately, they picked the wrong opponent—this time the team was led by Brother Xiao Cheng!"
"Brother Xiao Cheng is ruthless and taciturn. He drew his sword and slashed his way through, cutting heads and causing blood to flow like rivers."
Li Yuechan vividly recounted the scene with exaggerated descriptions, then shook her head regretfully and said, "It’s a pity that it didn’t scare those guys off; those Loose Cultivators launched several attacks under cover of darkness."
"We didn’t even have time to rest, needing to stay alert day and night, fearing that some Loose Cultivators might sneak into the cave dwelling."
"Right, those fearless Loose Cultivators even drew that mysterious Demon Cultivator lurking near our sect into the fray."
"That mysterious Demon Cultivator has always been hiding near our sect, attacking lone cultivators and draining the victims dry."
"Our sect has been trying to track it down with a bounty lately, but we haven’t found its whereabouts yet."
"This time, with the ancient cave dwelling remnant exposed, that mysterious Demon Cultivator also smelled blood, waded into the turmoil and, reportedly, drained more than a dozen unfortunate Loose Cultivators dry—their deaths were truly horrific…""
As Li Yuechan energetically shared how terrifyingly the dried corpses were drained, she devoured her meal with great gusto.
Li Muyang watched his sister’s unladylike behavior, speechless and holding his forehead.
"So you guys have been digging up graves for over ten days… is that right?"
"Did you find anything good in the ruins of that ancient cultivator’s cave dwelling?"
Although it was just a Purple Mansion Realm, it was unlikely to have anything valuable.
But for disciples of the Demon Sect, such small cave dwellings were the best.
After all, if the sect didn’t care, the disciples responsible for guarding could privately engage in some mischief.
Sure enough, Li Muyang’s inquiry made his younger sister even more delighted.
With her eyebrows dancing, she said, "I was just about to talk about that…"
While speaking, the girl carefully took out a small stone figure from the Qiankun Ring, and with a gleeful grin, held it up to Li Muyang, saying, "Bro, look what this is?"
In Li Yuechan’s hands, she held a delicately small stone figure.
It was the image of an ancient fairy, yet carved so vividly that even the lines of the eyebrows and eyes were incredibly clear.
Her expression was sorrowful and melancholic, and it seemed like unstoppable sadness filled her eyes.
A faint halo surrounded her, making this small stone figure appear full of spirit.
Although it was a stone carving, it stood there as if it were a real fairy.
Li Muyang’s expression suddenly froze.
He stared at this stone figure in astonishment and his mouth fell open. Find more to read at NovelBin.Côm
This…
Wasn’t this Stone Fairy’s face none other than Little Wild Grass?!
When he recognized the identity of this Stone Fairy, Li Muyang’s mind resounded with a thunderous shake, as an ancient legend he seemed to have known for a long time suddenly emerged.
"…Fairy Qinghe’s statue?" Li Muyang blurted out in shock. @@novelbin@@
Holding the Stone Fairy, Li Yuechan immediately giggled and said, "Bro, you know about her too?"
"Fairy Qinghe, a True Immortal from the ancient times who rarely passed down her name."
"It’s said that during the ancient dark catastrophe, she slayed countless powerful monsters and protected numerous beings."
"She was proud and powerful, had a heart for the people, yet she was always solitary."
"She was the last immortal to perish in the dark catastrophe, leaving countless traces between heaven and earth."
"In many ancient relics, her stone statues can be found."
"In each stone statue, there remains a strand of her essence."
"It’s said that during the dark cataclysm, Fairy Qinghe used these sacred artifacts to protect living beings. Back then, the mortals, holding the statue of Fairy Qinghe, could ward off demons and disasters and hide from monsters."
"Of course, there is also a rumor that these stone statues aren’t just charms for warding off misfortune, but rather a love letter Fairy Qinghe left for later generations."
Li Yuechan enthusiastically narrated this story, "It is said that before Fairy Qinghe attained immortality, she was an orphan with no one to rely on, suffering a lonely and perilous childhood."
"A mysterious elder brother saved her, rescuing her from her misery and accompanied her on the path to immortality, helping her to become a true immortal."
"But after she became an immortal, the lifespan of Fairy Qinghe’s elder brother exhausted, and he passed away in the mortal world."
"Extremely grieved, Fairy Qinghe asked the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Machine Pavilion to divine for her, and he predicted that ten thousand years later, her brother would be reincarnated."
"Thus, Fairy Qinghe left many of her stone statues between heaven and earth, imbuing them with her own aura."
"When ten thousand years had passed, and the calamity was over, Fairy Qinghe intended to return to the mortal world through these statues to reunite with her elder brother..."
As Li Yuechan recounted tales of ancient legends, she clicked her tongue in amazement, "But regardless of whether this legend is true or false, the statues of Fairy Qinghe are indeed rare artifacts."
"Having a statue of Fairy Qinghe by your side is said to truly bring good fortune and keep disasters at bay."
"There are even tales that after placing Fairy Qinghe’s statue nearby, one could easily encounter their true destined partner..."
Li Yuechan, holding the statue of Stone Fairy in her hands, yearned, "Brother, what do you think my true destined partner will be like?"
In the girl’s eyes, was full of fantasy.
However, the next second, the Stone Fairy statue was snatched from her hands.
The girl was stunned and immediately looked up to see her elder brother had seized the fairy statue, which irritated her.
"Brother! Give it back to me!"
The girl, puffing her cheeks, leapt forward trying to retrieve the treasure she had struggled to obtain.
Li Muyang skillfully dodged her attempt, saying, "Let me study it for a few days to see if the legends are true, then I’ll return it to you."
Thus, Li Muyang forcibly took the Stone Fairy statue.
Seeing this, Li Yuechan glared, exasperated, "Brother! You’re blatantly stealing it!"
Li Muyang chuckled mischievously, responding, "We are siblings, sharing the same blood. Borrowing your treasure for a couple of days... Would I ever keep it for myself?"
The girl furiously retorted, "We don’t share any blood relation! I was adopted!"
The girl vehemently proclaimed her outrageous statement, still trying to snatch it back.
However, her attempts were easily evaded by Li Muyang, and she couldn’t get anything out of him.
In the end, Li Muyang had to bribe his younger sister with two high-grade Spirit Pills and three Spirit Talismans to finally send her away appeased.
After sending away his noisy sister, the quietness settling back in the room, Li Muyang took out the lifelike Stone Fairy statue.
Looking at the face on the statue, which was identical to Little Wild Grass, he felt a familiar warmth emanating from the statue.
Li Muyang was lost in thought for a long time, eventually sighing softly.
Shaking his head with a smile.
"...Fairy Qinghe..."
It was merely a joke at the beginning, Li Muyang teasing that she had once been called Little Wild Grass, and jokingly suggested she might as well be called Fairy Qinghe after becoming an immortal.
Back then, she firmly opposed the idea, saying the name wasn’t imposing enough, that she disliked it, and she would choose a much more dominant name once she became immortal.
Yet, unexpectedly, the young girl eventually really started calling herself Fairy Qinghe...
In the house, holding the statue, Li Muyang looked at the vivid face of the fairy in his hands, filled with a mix of emotions.
He knew that finishing this game would alter reality’s history.
Yet, he hadn’t expected the traces of reality’s alteration to appear so swiftly before his own eyes.
