The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

The little girl, Nie Yubing, looked puzzled and asked a question that Li Muyang also wanted to know.

The situation in the Capital City could be described as a complete mess, with the Demon Suppression Magi from the Astral Surveillance mysteriously withdrawing en masse, and the Emperor staying in the imperial palace with a bunch of demons and strange creatures, while the disciples of the Mysterious Sword Sect, who had said they would enter the Capital City to slay the demons, remained outside Heiyuan Pass to this day...

The chaotic situation in the Capital City left Li Muyang feeling confused.

And after the little girl, Nie Yubing, finished her question, the woman named Tang Mengchen fell into a silent silence.

She sighed and said, "Where the Emperor found so many demons, I have no idea."

"As for why the disciples of the Mysterious Sword Sect have not been able to enter... I do not understand that either, only that I have heard they tried to force their way through but were stopped by the Martial Trust King at Heiyuan Pass."

"There must have been some incident that occurred, and perhaps the sixth prince knows, but he refuses to tell me."

As she spoke, Tang Mengchen reached out and stroked the little girl's head.

"Although we have briefly joined forces with the sixth prince, in the end, we are not on the same path."

"With the situation as it is now, there is no harm in telling you the truth."

The woman's hand gently stroked the girl's hair, whispering, "I was originally one of the rebels, lying low in the River Prefecture to spy and gather intelligence, when by a quirk of fate I was taken into the Nie household as a concubine, to serve your father."

"During the three years I was married into the Nie household, although I continued to serve the rebels, I never did anything to betray the Nie family."

"After all, the River Prefecture is far from the front lines and there was no important intelligence for me to spy on."

"Moreover, Lord Nie's character and integrity are so admirable that even our rebel soldiers greatly respect him."

"Upon hearing the news of Lord Nie's murder, General Rushing Sky specially sent someone into the Pass to help me, insisting that we must at all costs save the children of the Nie family."

"So there's no need for you to stay behind, Yubing, go beyond the Pass. I will do everything I can to rescue your two brothers."

Tang Mengchen spoke earnestly, trying to persuade the little girl to leave.

General Wang Chao, who leads the rebels, is also a legendary figure in the martial heroes' legends.

He is not a Cultivator, but he entered the path of martial arts, and with his martial prowess, he looks down upon the world.

It is said that he once crossed swords with the True Person of the Green Leaves, and they were evenly matched after two moves, his brilliant martial record is practically a myth.

From nothing, he founded the Sky-Piercing Army, which now has conquered half the world, with their spearheads reaching Heiyuan Pass and pointing directly at the Capital City.

The overwhelming momentum of the Sky-Piercing Army, where their spear's edge passes is like a hot knife through butter, almost no one can stand against them.

Just by looking at the situation, the decaying and crumbling Lu Imperial Dynasty is clearly at the brink of collapse, soon to be destroyed.

Mentioning the fame of General Rushing Sky gave her words convincing power.

Indeed, the little girl, Nie Yubing, was slightly taken aback, her face showing a surprised expression.

"... General Rushing Sky sent someone to save us?"

Tang Mengchen nodded and said, "Stepmother will not deceive you. General Rushing Sky admires Lord Nie's character and has given a strict order, we must save the bloodline of the Nie family."

"When you escaped last night, stepmother had already led people to save you, otherwise, I would not have coincidentally met you and pointed you towards Red Leaf Villa."

As she spoke, Tang Mengchen continued to persuade, "So, Yubing, go beyond the Pass."

"Although you have this ability to control puppets, the power of a Puppet Master can't stir much trouble in this demon-infested Imperial Capital."

"You are too young to be involved in these turbulences. Stepmother will lead people to rescue your two brothers. Will you go beyond the Pass?"

Tang Mengchen said almost pleadingly, "Stepmother has already arranged everything for you; once you're beyond the Pass, head to the southern Li River City where the Ever-Victorious Army will take you in."

"General Zhong and Lord Nie were the closest of friends. Once you get to Li River City, you can stay away from the war and be safe."

"Once your two brothers have been rescued, I will also send them to Li River City for a family reunion..."

Tang Mengchen's words moved Li Muyang.

The South, Lijiang City, the Constant Victory Army… these stirred his memories.

He had previously made contact with General Zhong of the Constant Victory Army in "Call of the Mountains."

Regrettably, the old general had passed away in the end.

But the Constant Victory Army was indeed a unique group within the Tianyuan Dynasty.

They were stationed in the South, now far from the dangers of war, seemingly a true refuge.

— If only the South were not plagued by the Evil God Disaster.

Li Muyang looked at the little girl beside him without speaking.

Because he believed Nie Yubing would not shrink back.

Indeed, the young girl shook her head resolutely and said, "Stepmother, there is no need to persuade me further, I must stay."

"Even though my power is indeed not strong, Father once said that one must rely on oneself in life and not expect others to provide for them."

"Even if I can only contribute a small amount of strength, I still want to stay and help."

"Not to mention, I now have Puppetry Technique and have taken control of a Painted Skin Demon, so my power is not weak."

The girl looked at the Painted Skin Demon beside her with a determined expression.

Seeing the girl's "stubbornness," Li Muyang smiled.

Everything was within his expectations.

This young girl was definitely not someone who could be easily persuaded.

Facing the girl's obstinacy, Tang Mengchen remained silent for a while.

In the end, she let out a bitter sigh and said, "Alright…"

Unable to persuade her otherwise, the woman could only accept reality.

"But you must promise me that once your two brothers are rescued, the three of you siblings must immediately leave the Capital City, and no matter what happens, you must never come back!"

Tang Mengchen looked seriously at the young girl, failing to persuade her to leave, she could only fall back on insisting that the girl promise to leave after the rescue.

Hearing this, Nie Yubing was somewhat puzzled and surprised. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

"If I rescue my brothers, of course I will leave… Is there anything in the Capital City that would make me unwilling to leave?" the girl asked with immense curiosity.

But Tang Mengchen was unwilling to say more, instead she stubbornly demanded that the girl swear an oath, otherwise she would forcibly send Nie Yubing away, at least not bringing her along for the rescue.

Seeing her stepmother's determined attitude, Nie Yubing hesitated slightly, but then she could only raise her hand and swear.

"I swear to the heavens that once I rescue my two brothers, no matter what happens, I will immediately leave the city with my brothers and never come back."

"If I break this oath, I… um… I am willing to suffer the punishment of thousands of cuts and have no place for my remains."

The young girl took the oath with a serious expression.

Only then did Tang Mengchen sigh and, with a look of affection, gently touched the girl's head, saying,

"Good! Then tomorrow your stepmother will go with you to rescue them."

"Your Puppetry Technique can impersonate the Crown Prince, which can indeed play a significant role."

Moonlight fell upon them, and the two figures, one big and one small, leaned against each other.

In the midst of the chaotic military atmosphere and the perilous situation of the Capital City, this scene appeared somewhat heartwarming.

Two people who were once family had now become each other's support.
