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

Chapter 501 - 501: Am I Going to Turn Evil?

On the deck of the Flying Boat, the fierce wind was biting.

Dozens of Demon Sect Disciples were competing in casting spells and swordplay on the deck, laughing as they vied for the jug of Spiritual Wine that Ning Wan'er had put up as a prize.

Any disciple who won the applause of the crowd could drink a cup of sweet Spiritual Wine, rich in Spiritual Energy.

In such a lively atmosphere, Yan Xiaoru descended from the sky and appeared before everyone with a cold expression, abruptly stopping the joyful mood on the deck.

The previously laughing crowd immediately knelt down in uniform salutation.

"Greetings upon Elder's return!"

"Greetings upon the Master's return!"

Amid the respectful and tense shouts of the disciples, Yan Xiaoru looked on indifferently, her gaze sullen.

She coldly eyed the crowd gathered on the deck for fun and glanced at Aunt Su, who was quietly observing everything from a distance, clearly in a bad mood.

However, to the disciples' relief, Elder Yan did not scold them for their revelry.

She just looked indifferently at her approaching Direct Disciple, Ning Wan'er, and asked emotionlessly.

"Where is Li Muyang? Where has he gone?"

Yan Xiaoru's tone was very bad, causing the disciples to tense up.

—Could it be that Elder Yan is going to take out her anger on Brother Li? Or did Brother Li do something to upset the Elder?

The disciples on the deck of the Demon Sect all lowered their heads and dared not make any unnecessary movements.

Facing the cold inquiry of her master, Ning Wan'er stiffened up. She hesitated for a moment then cautiously replied,

"…Master, Disciple Li has been diligently cultivating in seclusion these days, locking himself away in his room to earnestly practice, never causing any trouble, dutifully…"

Ning Wan'er tried to indirectly put in a good word for Li Muyang.

But before she could finish, a cold breeze brushed past.

Yan Xiaoru had ignored everyone present and directly entered the interior of the Flying Boat.

It turned out she'd gone to find the bitterly cultivating Li Muyang.

With Yan Xiaoru's departure, the disciples on the deck all let out a sigh of relief, as the air seemed much lighter with her gone.

Everyone carefully discussed whether Brother Li had done something wrong.

Meanwhile, in the quiet cabin, Li Muyang, who was immersed in a game, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He looked up to his side and saw Yan Xiaoru, who had quietly taken a seat next to him on a mahogany chair by the window at some unknown time.

As their gazes met, Li Muyang was slightly taken aback.

"…When did you come back?"

The Yan Xiaoru before him was cold, her gaze sullen, and her whole being exuded a disturbing demonic aura.

Though Yan Xiaoru was always known for her aloof and emotionless demeanor, her state at this moment was exceedingly rare.

She seemed extraordinarily upset, like a cold volcano ready to spew lava at any moment.

Li Muyang asked, "Did you hear about the Sect Master breaking through to the Eternal Heaven Realm?"

That must be what had upset Yan Xiaoru so profoundly, right?

Or perhaps… it related to that prophecy she had gone to investigate?

Seeing Li Muyang start to ask questions, Yan Xiaoru didn't beat around the bush.

Seeing the worried look in his eyes, she took a deep breath, finally shedding her cold and sullen demeanor, revealing profound weariness.

"…I know, but Gong Yanghong breaking through to the Eternal Heaven Realm is not really bad news at this point."

Yan Xiaoru raised her hand and threw out several Array flags, swiftly setting up an Array that isolated the room from the outside world to prevent eavesdropping.

She looked at Li Muyang before her, recalling everything she had seen in her hometown, and feelings of fatigue and worry, along with a cold hint of fear, churned in her heart.

After a moment to choose her words, Yan Xiaoru spoke.

"On this trip back, I stumbled upon that ancient book."

"The book contains prophecies derived by the former Pavilion Masters and accomplished successors of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, including one that seems to be related to you..."

As Yan Xiaoru spoke, she sighed softly, and recounted the content related to that prophecy.

It included the content of the prophecy, as well as the future fragments witnessed by past ancestors of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion when they calculated based on this prophecy...

As Yan Xiaoru continued, Li Muyang's expression gradually turned serious and solemn.

"...The day the Immortal's Corpse is revealed to the world, the time the Eternal Evil God descends, there will be the Ascension of evil spirits, Enlightenment of external demons, and a world of misery and suffering."

He muttered the content of the prophecy over and over, listening to Yan Xiaoru describe the scenes from the future fragments.

Although those fragments of the future might not come true,

just from these fragments, he indeed appeared in the prophecy and occupied a very important role.

After releasing the Immortal's Corpse from the Qiankun Ring, Li Muyang, seeing the calm features of the Ink Fairy before him, suddenly felt like he had been handed a hot potato.

"So this Immortal's Corpse, should it not be revealed to the world?"

Li Muyang felt overwhelmed, "If I reveal her in front of everyone, will it trigger the events described in the prophecy?"

Looking at it, this prophecy seemed to point to the group of Ancient Evil Gods inside the ancient resentful well.

But what about evil spirits ascending and external demons attaining enlightenment... you're not talking about me, are you?

Now, Li Muyang was particularly sensitive to the word "Ascendant."

Li Muyang found it incomprehensible. He turned to Yan Xiaoru and asked, "Is there a way to avoid this prophecy? If I hide this Immortal's Corpse forever and never reveal it to the world, could it prevent the prophecy from coming true?"

Especially since this time, the system had identified him as an "Ascendant, Outer Heavenly Demon."

If the chaos-spreading evil spirit in the prophecy was him... but I'm not even dead, how could I become an evil spirit?

And why would I, out of my mind, choose to wreak havoc in the world?

Li Muyang found it incomprehensible. He turned to Yan Xiaoru and asked, "Is there a way to avoid this prophecy? If I hide this Immortal's Corpse forever and never reveal it to the world, could it prevent the prophecy from coming true?"

From his understanding, the prophecies in this world were merely calculations of certain external possibilities.

It was possible to change the future if one took preventive measures in advance.

However, Yan Xiaoru looked at him wordlessly and shook her head.

"Perhaps it could be avoided, but it's highly likely..."

She glanced at the Immortal's Corpse next to Li Muyang, "The prophecy speaks of the Immortal's Corpse appearing in the world... Strictly speaking, the moment you discovered her and took her out of the secretive realm, she was already revealed to the world."

"You might be too late to hide her now."

"Moreover, the future predicted by this prophecy is too horrifying, even if it hasn't yet come to pass, you cannot just hide away the Immortal's Corpse."

At this point, Yan Xiaoru moved her gaze away from the Immortal's Corpse and looked at the man in front of her.

Their eyes met, and Yan Xiaoru calmly said, "This is an incredibly powerful weapon rarely seen in the world, capable of sweeping away most enemies."

"If there really is an era of demonic chaos in the future, then having an Immortal's Corpse for protection will be extremely important."

"Such formidable combat power, how can you simply give it up and seal it away because of a prophecy?"

Li Muyang was speechless.

Was the prophecy really going to come true?

Would he indeed turn completely evil in the future and become a villain indulging in slaughter?

This is absolutely ridiculous!

Although he might not be a good person, he wasn't a crazed demon either; why would he kill innocents?

This prophecy from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion is slander, pure and utter slander!
