Chapter 339: I Love Brother the Most
"Yu Chan, do you have any thoughts?"
Li Muyang's stable emotions and indifferent tone gave his younger sister courage.
The girl took a deep breath and said, "This time, the escape is different for the Ning family compared to ours."
"The Ning family is not on the hit list of those demon cultivators from the Green Sheep Society. Once the flying boat arrives at the sect, Wan'er can take Uncle Ning and them away, and the matter will be considered over for the Ning household."
"But our family is different, brother, you have already been targeted by the demon cultivators of the Green Sheep Society. Even if they don't find you this time, they will continue to pursue in the future…"
In Li Yuechan's eyes, there was full of worry.
After finishing, she saw her brother looking calm and showing no sign of anger.
The girl hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and voiced her idea.
"So I was thinking, maybe we could send our second uncle and aunt to the World-Outside-the-World. It's far away from all conflicts, and both the grudges of the immortal and demon pathways cannot reach there."
"If we send our second uncle and aunt to the World-Outside-the-World, at least their safety can be guaranteed…"
Having mustered the courage to say all this, Li Yuechan cautiously looked at Li Muyang.
But she saw Li Muyang nodding in surprise, "That's a good idea indeed, the World-Outside-the-World is a great place. But such a good idea… why did you hesitate to speak?"
The World-Outside-the-World is a special place on this land.
It is absolutely neutral, unaffected by the strife between the paths of immortals and demons, and it is an excellent place of refuge.
Even Li Muyang had heard of the name of the World-Outside-the-World.
Although there are many strict regulations in the World-Outside-the-World, and cultivators who are used to freedom are reluctant to go there—
for ordinary people like Li Damu and his wife, the World-Outside-the-World is indeed an excellent place of refuge where they can spend their old age in peace, without having to face the crisis of fleeing in panic like today.
Li Muyang curiously looked at his adopted sister and said, "Is there a problem with this matter?"
Indeed, a bitter smile appeared on the adopted sister's face, "Although the World-Outside-the-World is great, it has always rejected the Demon Path. For someone from the Demon Path to enter the World-Outside-the-World and be accepted, a great price must be paid… um, that is, a lot of silver coins."
The girl spoke softly, "Though I have saved up many spiritual objects and silver coins, it might not be enough…"
Li Muyang shook his head, "You, as an Inner Sect Disciple, of course, cannot come up with so much silver coin."
Not everyone is a business genius like Guan Xiaoshun, able to save up a considerable fortune.
Li Muyang generously said, "Just go ahead and do it. Whatever amount of silver coins and spiritual objects you need, come and take from me."
"If we can send them to settle in the World-Outside-the-World, I will certainly not be stingy."
Although Li Muyang's feelings towards Li Damu and his wife, his adopted parents, were complex, and he couldn't bring himself to call them "mother and father," it was indeed very difficult for him to truly treat them as his own parents.
Yet when it came to spending money on them, Li Muyang was quite willing.
Seeing her brother so generous and not holding any grudge against their parents, a smile immediately appeared on Li Yuechan's face.
"Hehe… brother, you are really kind."
The girl happily pounced over and hugged Li Muyang tightly.
This seventeen-year-old girl was, at this moment, completely disregarding the male-female boundaries... although in this world, there wasn't really such concern about male-female boundaries or Confucian thought.
Happily hugging Li Muyang, she pressed her face against his chest and said joyfully, "I love my brother the most."
Li Muyang rolled his eyes at his sister's deliberately cute comment.
"These are things I should do anyway." Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire
It was a trivial matter, and yet this little girl had been so hesitant.
She couldn't really believe that the original owner was so stingy that even when their own parents were in danger, they were unwilling to spend money... Tsk...
Reflecting on the original owner's image in his cheap little sister's mind, Li Muyang chatted with his sister for a while. After confirming the plan to send their parents to the ark beyond the world for refuge, he then walked out of his little sister's cabin.
He stood at the doorway, straightened his clothes that Yu Chan had messed up, and then turned to leave.
Inside the cabin, Li Yuechan cheerfully hummed a tune after seeing off her brother, as if a weight had been lifted from her heart, and she became happy and radiant.
The voice of the mysterious woman sounded in her ear, somewhat astonished.
"... Your uncle and aunt are your brother's biological parents. It's only natural for him to spend money when his own parents need to escape danger, right?"
"Although it's not a small amount, it shouldn't have caused you so much worry for so long, should it?"
"They are his parents, not yours."
The mysterious woman was somewhat puzzled.
Hearing her teacher's voice, Li Yuechan smiled and blinked, saying, "As long as my brother has agreed, that's enough."
"Hee hee hee..."
The girl happily continued to hum her tune, taking out the booklet Aunt Su had given her and started to study the matter of sending her uncle and aunt to the escape ark.
At the same time, Li Muyang returned to his own cabin.
The anti-addiction system prevented him from entering "Dragonkin's Awakening," so at this moment, with nothing else to do, he could only open "Deadly Little Wild Grass" and continue adventuring through mountains and rivers with Little Wild Grass.
In the forest where snow was falling, Li Muyang and the fairy-like Little Wild Grass huddled inside a drafty carriage, feeling the howling cold wind outside.
Little Wild Grass laughed and said, "Big brother, you're not getting any younger. Why won't you accept the Snow Mountain Weaver Girl's proposal?"
"It's been almost twenty years since we left Black Cloud Fort, right? Other men of your age would have had children around their knees by now."
"Yet big brother, you keep refusing marriage proposals, and that is indeed puzzling."
Amid the snow and wind, Li Muyang, hunched in a corner of the carriage, coughed and opened the system interface.
It clearly displayed his character information.
[Jiang Xiaoyu: 37 years old]
And the daily log of the current scene.
Looking at the prompts on the system interface, Li Muyang shook his head, "I don't know about twenty years, I only remember seven thousand one hundred thirty-nine days."
This unique reply from Li Muyang made the stunningly beautiful woman opposite him stunned for a moment.
Then she laughed out loud, "Big brother, you remember so clearly, you're not actually counting days with your fingers every day, are you?"
Li Muyang chuckled, "When you become an immortal, I'll think about marriage matters then."
"The reason I haven't been able to get married is all because you're holding me back!"
Li Muyang shook his head and said, "It's been twenty years since we left Black Cloud Fort, and each year you say you see the opportunity to become immortal, but every year you don't... What exactly are you waiting for?"
Li Muyang was half joking, half curious.
Little Wild Grass's storyline in this fourth stage, within the game narrative, had almost spanned twenty years.
The once youthful and handsome Jiang Xiaoyu had now become a world-weary middle-aged man.
Yet Little Wild Grass still hadn't become an immortal, and the fourth stage of the storyline also had yet to conclude.
Li Muyang began to wonder if this fourth stage wouldn't end until Little Wild Grass became an immortal.
