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

"Brother-in-law, come quickly," the girl on the city wall called to Li Muyang. "If we destroy the four main corners of the city's formation, I will be able to leave the Sifang Cauldron."

As Li Muyang agreed to help her, the girl could hardly wait.

She waved her hand happily, guiding Li Muyang in the right direction.

As the girl pointed towards four different directions within the city, four blood-red coordinates emerged within this ghostly and fog-shrouded town.

Each coordinate stood in one of the four areas of the city, forming the most common Four Symbols Formation.

If they could destroy this Four Symbols Formation and defeat the mystical beasts evolving within, they would be able to break the shackles set by Shen Miao's father years ago and rescue the poor girl trapped in the cauldron for many years.

Controlled by Li Mu, the Jade Mantis stepped into the city amid the dense fog.

At that moment, he faintly felt some kind of invisible barrier.

But the girl on the wall energetically spread her arms and pulled hard in the air, as if tugging at something.

Soon, the invisible barrier around the ghost city vanished, and Li Muyang easily entered inside the city wall.

Relieved, the girl on the wall exhaled deeply and said, "Great, although you are quite big, you still fit inside."

"I thought, given your size, it would be a big struggle to get you in..."

The girl said, lifting her head and revealing a cute, playful smile to Li Muyang.

The Jade Mantis, controlled by Li Muyang, lowered its head and saw the girl's hands trembling beside her.

Although she made it sound easy, it was clearly not simple to bring a foreign creature like the Jade Mantis into the Sifang Cauldron.

The Jade Mantis, controlled by Li Muyang, shook its head and said, "Let's go, we'll break the Four Symbols Formation set by your father."

The girl on the wall giggled and jumped directly onto the head of the Jade Mantis, audaciously riding on its head.

"Brother-in-law, you don't mind me riding on you like this, do you?"

The girl happily stroked the large mantis skull beneath her.

The giant green mantis, transparent and smooth as jade throughout its body.

The girl sitting on the mantis' skull felt an incomparably smooth and warm touch, as if she truly were stroking jade.

Meanwhile, the real Li Muyang was all frowns.

This game's sense of immersion was a bit too intense.

In the game, he could actually feel the touch of a girl sitting on top of his head.

This mischievous girl truly had no inhibitions.

Li Muyang sighed and said, "You should ask if your sister minds."

Not planning to dislodge the girl, he continued to guide the giant mantis, carrying the girl on his head, towards the heart of the city ahead.

The girl sitting on the mantis' head chuckled, "Brother-in-law, you finally admit that you are my brother-in-law?"

Li Muyang rolled his eyes and replied, "Your sister doesn't even know she has such a cheeky little sister..."

In the ghostly and foggy city, one could faintly see a huge phantom of the Sifang Cauldron at the center of the city, which was the core area of the cauldron and where the Artifact Spirit lay dormant.

But this rescue mission by Li Muyang did not require disturbing the Artifact Spirit.

The four corners of the formation were all set up around the phantom of the massive cauldron, without alarming the Artifact Spirit.

Li Muyang controlled the Jade Mantis, walking through the eerily empty ghost city.

Since the battle had ceased, there were not many souls of the Blood Lotus Sect followers in the ghost city at that time.

As the giant Jade Mantis passed through the city, it occasionally accidentally crushed a few souls of the Blood Lotus Sect followers, which Shen Miao didn't mind.

After all, these souls would not die when crushed inside the Sifang Cauldron; they would reassemble nearby.

A number of confounded souls wandered around the city, and as Li Muyang stepped on these confused ghostly spirits, he arrived at the eastern part of the Four Symbols Formation.

There stood a giant banner depicting a soaring Azure Dragon.

"Brother-in-law, this is the Azure Dragon banner," the girl announced.

The girl sitting on the mantis's head excitedly patted the jade head beneath her, saying, "Charge! Let's take it down together!"

Li Muyang had made it a habit to save the game first before he controlled the jade mantis to rush towards the flying Azure Dragon flag.

Once he entered within a mile of the Azure Dragon flag, the space around him suddenly changed.

The giant jade mantis suddenly arrived among a range of undulating mountains. Within these misty fairy mountains, an Azure Dragon was roaring, directing its anger towards the jade mantis at the mountain summit. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

"Who dares to trespass in the Four Symbols Great Formation without permission!"

Dressed in a plain Vestment robe, Shen Miao excitedly jumped up, "Brother-in-law! Let's go!"

Without waiting for Li Muyang to make a move, she soared up and charged towards the Azure Dragon between the mountains.

However, the Azure Dragon roared, and countless golden lightning bolts struck down between heaven and earth.

Seeing the danger, Li Muyang quickly went to offer help.

But it was already too late.

Though Shen Miao's movement was agile, dodging through the air and occasionally swinging a blood sword that hit the Azure Dragon,

as the roaring and soaring Azure Dragon shot out numerous thunderbolts, soon both Li Muyang and Shen Miao were smoking all over from the lightnings.

These thunderbolts seemed not very lethal, but every strike added a new BUFF bar to the jade mantis's health bar.

[Thunderbolt (39%)]

Every time the thunder struck, the reading on this BUFF bar increased.

When the BUFF bar's thunder filled up to 100%, Li Muyang and Shen Miao screamed as they were blasted out of their spot.

They were thrown back into the foggy ghost town, tumbling out and landing several miles away.

The Azure Dragon flag, still arrogantly standing in its place, was unaffected...

After being expelled from the battle secret realm, the girl with messy hair and a scorched body looked exhaustedly at Li Muyang.

"Brother-in-law, you're not very good!"

"This doesn't cut it, it's so disappointing."

The girl looked unhappy.

Li Muyang almost spit blood.

"If you hadn't mindlessly charged in, would we have lost so quickly..."

Li Muyang glanced at the BUFF bar in his view.

[Thunderbolt (99.8%)]

Good, he roughly understood the combat mode now.

The Azure Dragon's lethality was mediocre, it couldn't even kill the jade mantis.

But once the internal thunderbolts reached a critical value, they would be deemed a failure and forcefully ejected from the battle phase.

Li Muyang closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.

"Let's rest for a while, let's cleanse the internal thunderbolts first."

"Next time we challenge it, don't rush in so quickly. Let's coordinate."

Shen Miao's blood sword could take off a small chunk of the Azure Dragon's health bar with each strike, its lethality was very high.

Although Li Muyang's jade mantis had high output, the damage was close and had to be delivered in melee range.

Once hit by the jade mantis, the Azure Dragon would roar and fly away, throwing out more thunderbolts.

The jade mantis had trouble dealing with this slippery Azure Dragon mainly because the dragon's health bar was too thick and had to be whittled down slowly, which was problematic for an assassin mantis which preferred to kill in one strike.

This game mode, a rare one that required cooperation between two players to pass.

Moreover, it looked like it might take some time for the two to coordinate seamlessly.

Li Muyang exited the game and switched to "Deadly Little Wild Grass" to spend some time leveling up Little Wild Grass while the jade mantis rested.
