The Game with Fairies

Li Muyang, upon seeing Jiang Xiaoyu’s inner monologue, was also surprised.

“How can Jiang Xiaoyu be so confused?”

At the beginning of the game, he had accurately assessed the situation in Nanjiang City and his own circumstances.

Now, he’s talking nonsense as if he’s drunk on fake liquor.

–You don’t know whether Black Cloud Village still exists or not?

That’s your hometown!

On the broken bridge, the appearance of Granny Gu made a few demons to exchange glances.

Then the Crimson Flame King spoke up.

【Crimson Flame King: Good! Granny Gu makes sense, let’s go back and restrain our kin】

The demons didn’t waste words and left directly.

The group accompanying Granny Gu watched the demons leave with vigilance, and someone spoke in a low voice.

【Wen Shaozhong: These demons are probably here to find the whereabouts of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword. I think they have no intention of restraining their kin】

【Lan Qingfeng: Fairy Yu is dead, and the demons in the city are likely to cause chaos. We humans are in grave danger amidst them】

【Luo Qunshan: If it weren’t for Fairy Yu’s indiscriminate kindness back then and allowing demons into the city, Nanjiang City wouldn’t have become this dangerous place where humans and demons coexist on the brink of disaster!】

【Wen Shaozhong: A nice Nanjiang City, which should have been a human paradise, has fallen to this state due to Fairy Yu’s momentary lapse, filled with demons and miasma. While she was alive, she could suppress everything, but now that she’s gone, Nanjiang City is bound to fall into chaos】

On the broken bridge, everyone frowned and spoke in low spirits.

Granny Gu watched coldly and finally spoke.

【Granny Gu: Now that things have come to this, I ask you all to go back and gather your subordinates, strengthen patrols in the city, and at the same time guard against those demons】

【Granny Gu: Even if chaos is inevitable, we cannot let the demons take over the city. This is our only place of refuge】

Following Granny Gu’s words, everyone nodded and left.

Clearly, the mysterious Granny Gu held high prestige in this group of humans.

Finally, as everyone left, only Granny Gu remained on the bridge.

She stood hunched over, quietly on the broken bridge, looking at the calm lake ahead, and for a moment, the scene froze in silence.

Just as Li Muyang wondered if the game had crashed, Granny Gu, who had been silent on the bridge for a while, suddenly spoke.

“Kid, how much longer do you plan to hide under the bridge?”

With these words from Granny Gu, Li Muyang was startled.

–Had that old lady discovered him?

But before he could make Jiang Xiaoyu move, a figure suddenly emerged from the lake beneath Jiang Xiaoyu’s feet.

With a splash, a robust figure leaped out of the water and landed on the bridge.

It was a young man dressed in Nanjiang City’s attire who recognized Granny Gu.

After jumping out of the water, the man bowed to Granny Gu.

【Luo Feng: Luo Feng pays respects to Granny】

Granny Gu looked at him coldly and asked, “What are you doing here instead of resting at home? Are you also looking for Fairy Yu’s Startling Swan Immortal Sword?” Ꞧ

【Luo Feng (wry smile): …】

Granny Gu gave him a cold glance and sized him up.

【Granny Gu: Fairy Yu is dead, and now the city is full of hidden crises, ready to erupt into chaos at any moment. At such a critical time, you should return to your post, not skulking around here looking for the immortal sword】

【Granny Gu: Those demons are restless and plotting something, and I’ve heard that some half-demons have been swayed】

【Granny Gu: You have high prestige among the half-demons. At times like these, you need to step forward and stabilize the situation】

【Granny Gu: As long as the half-demons don’t join the chaos, those demon creatures won’t be able to turn the sky upside down】

Granny Gu scolded the young man coldly, and after finishing, her tone softened significantly.

【Granny Gu (sighing): …Luo Feng, you’ve always been smart. You young people are the future hope of Nanjiang City】

【Granny Gu: You should know that Nanjiang City’s ability to stand unshaken in these troubled times has never relied on the Startling Swan Immortal Sword… Even if you did find the immortal sword, what then?】

【Granny Gu: In this world, there are not a few immortal weapons like the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, so why is there no other Nanjiang City?】

【Granny Gu (sighing again): What’s truly strong was never the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, but Fairy Yu…】

After Granny Gu finished speaking, the bridge fell silent.

The young man, bearing the 【Luo Feng】 health bar, bowed his head in silence, his expression sorrowful.

Clearly, he held great reverence for the deceased Fairy Yu.

Watching the sorrowful Luo Feng, Granny Gu sighed again.

【Granny Gu: Alright, this old lady knows you want to find the Startling Swan Immortal Sword to suppress the chaos like Fairy Yu did】

【Granny Gu: But the immortal sword isn’t as crucial as you think. Even if you really got the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, you couldn’t suppress the red-eyed bunch in the city】

【Granny Gu: Restrain your half-demon subordinates, keep them out of the turmoil, and try to limit the scope of the chaos. That’s what you should be doing】

The hunched old woman finished speaking, shook her head, and turned to leave.

From her back, she looked like nothing more than a frail old person with no hint of supernatural power.

But Luo Feng kept watching the old woman’s retreating figure until she disappeared from view, then he let out a long sigh of relief and straightened his back.

【Luo Feng: …No matter how many times I see Granny Gu, I can’t help but feel afraid】

After Luo Feng spoke, he glanced at the broken bridge beneath his feet and lightly tapped the surface with his toes.

【Luo Feng: The brother hanging below, aren’t you coming up? Everyone’s gone】

This time, he was finally addressing Jiang Xiaoyu.

After all, he had arrived before Jiang Xiaoyu and had hidden better than Jiang Xiaoyu.

He must have noticed Jiang Xiaoyu’s movements hanging under the bridge while invisible.

Just then, Jiang Xiaoyu’s Invisibility Charm wore off, and Jiang Xiaoyu, now visible, flipped up from under the bridge while looking curiously at the person before him.

【Jiang Xiaoyu: Why didn’t you expose me?】

Knowing he was hiding below and eavesdropping, yet not telling Granny Gu…

【Luo Feng (shaking his head): Exposing you would have been pointless. You’re here to find the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, right?】

【Luo Feng: Using such a lousy Invisibility Charm, yet managing to sneak through the heavy blockades alone to get here. You’re a master of stealth… I admire your skill】

Hearing this praise, Jiang Xiaoyu grinned and laughed.

【Jiang Xiaoyu: Let me guess, your next words will surely be that since I’m so adept at stealth, I might as well take on the task of finding the Startling Swan Immortal Sword while you, the half-demon leader, go back to command your half-demons?】

Jiang Xiaoyu’s laughter was frivolous, but Luo Feng didn’t mind and nodded seriously.

【Luo Feng: Exactly, since you’re here for the immortal sword, it’s perfect to entrust this matter to you. Besides, you’d still go looking for the Startling Swan Immortal Sword even if I didn’t ask you.】
