Chapter 309: You Also Have a Wife
The massive Flood Dragon swam through the water, but the two frail paper figures floated with the wind, following the traces of the Flood Dragon’s movements.
Li Muyang noticed the presence chasing after him and slightly furrowed his brows.
“...Are they coming for me?”
Li Muyang stopped swimming and emerged from the water.
The huge dragon body resurfaced.
Amidst the scattering spray, the enormous dragon head coldly watched the two paper figures floating towards it.
“Do you seek death?”
The Flood Dragon spoke with a cold female voice.
The two paper figures panicked.
They floated in the air, riding the wind as if flying, and actually knelt down in midair.
“We beg for mercy from the Dragon Goddess!”
The two paper figures pleaded in unison.
The massive Flood Dragon watched them indifferently and said, “If you fear death, why pursue me?”
The two paper figures carefully observed the Flood Dragon’s expression, trying to gauge the thoughts of this white dragon.
But the gaze of the huge dragon head was cold, and its golden vertical pupils revealed no joy or sorrow, making it impossible to guess its thoughts.
After hesitating for a moment, the two paper figures decided to tell the truth.
“Reporting to the Dragon Goddess, my brother and I come from beyond the border, entrusted by a powerful individual, to seek the Dragon Goddess within the pass.”
“We have heard that the Goddess has purged evil spirits within the pass, slain demons, and protected the peace of this region.”
“That individual has sent us into the pass to request the Dragon Goddess to venture beyond the border.”
“The person said that there is a True Dragon’s treasure beyond the border, long sealed away. Now that the Dragon Goddess has appeared, you may retrieve this treasure and by doing so, quell the evil spirits beyond the border, securing peace forever!”
The two paper figures spoke with fear and trepidation, revealing their purpose.
As the massive Flood Dragon watched them coldly, it spoke with a woman’s voice.
“What powerful individual? What is their name? And what is this treasure? Why have they sent for me?”
A terrifying aura accompanied the Flood Dragon’s questioning, nearly blowing the two paper figures away with its intensity.
They hastily replied, “To the Goddess, that individual is a great sorcerer from beyond the border, known to the world as Lord Shanyang. It is said that he has lived for nineteen hundred years, can summon wind and rain, and change into anything.”
“He has sent us to request the Goddess’s assistance, as a great calamity is about to befall the border and he wishes for the Goddess’s help.”
“As for the True Dragon’s treasure, it is called the Dragon Spine Sword, said to be a magical weapon forged from the bones of a True Dragon during ancient times.”
“Lord Shanyang said that if the Goddess obtains this treasure, perhaps you could shed your mortal blood and transform into a True Dragon!”
The two paper figures spilled everything they knew like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
As they finished speaking, a system prompt suddenly popped up in Li Muyang’s field of vision.
?Special Mission: True Dragon Spine has been triggered?
?Mission Content: Travel beyond the border, seize the Dragon Spine Sword, and refine it?
Seeing this mission prompt, Li Muyang narrowed his eyes.
The system had been triggered?
It seemed there was another reason to venture beyond the border.
After pondering for a moment, Li Muyang said to the two paper figures.
“Return and tell Lord Shanyang that I will venture beyond the border soon, and we will discuss this matter then.”
Having said that, Li Muyang flicked his body and disappeared into the lake, riding the water.
He then said to the Moon-Biting Dragon, “I’m leaving first, you heal in peace. Tomorrow, we will explore the second den of evil to see what we find!”
“As for these two paper figures, don’t bother with them for now.”
Although curious about the so-called Dragon Spine Sword, Li Muyang was not planning to rush beyond the border.
He must first purge all the evil creatures within the pass, consume all the ‘evolution materials’ without leaving any behind, and then face the demons and ghosts beyond the border.
After a brief conversation with the Moon-Biting Dragon, Li Muyang was forcibly logged out of the game.
The familiar anti-addiction system came online once again.
He opened his eyes to see his small bamboo house.
After getting up and stepping outside, he saw his little sister Li Yuechan sitting in the courtyard writing a letter.
The sunset had completely disappeared, and as the light in the courtyard gradually dimmed, the girl bit her pen, pondering over the words to write in the letter.
Seeing Li Muyang come out, Li Yuechan immediately jumped up with a cheerful smile.
“Brother, you’re here!”
Li Muyang looked at her speechlessly and said, “This is my courtyard! What do you mean ‘you’re here’?”
He glanced at the words on the letter and shook his head indifferently.
“Why are you running here to write a letter?”
The girl laughed heartily without a care, sticking out her tongue playfully and acting cute, “I just couldn’t think of what to say to our uncle and aunt, so I came here to change my mood.”
Seeing that Li Muyang didn’t react much to her words, she blinked innocently and asked, “Brother, could you help me write it?”
Li Muyang glared at her and said, “Write your head. Scram.”
Li Muyang still had no contact with his biological parents and had no intention of returning home to visit.
Li Yuechan’s mischievously cute expression might be adorable, but it had no effect on him.
Li Muyang walked outside and said, “Aren’t we supposed to gather everyone tonight? Let’s go, don’t dawdle here.”
The leader of the Demonic Sect, Gong Yanghong, was still in seclusion making a breakthrough, and the elders were protecting him.
But the details of the rewards and punishments for the recent quelling of the Blood Lotus Sect’s rebellion had already been announced.
After all, with so many eyes from the sect watching this time’s rewards and with many allies of the Demonic Sect around, it’s not possible to let those demons stay in the sect every day, eating and drinking for free, right?
Therefore, although the elders have not yet emerged from sect leader’s seclusion, the details of the rewards and punishments have already been decided upon in their discussions.
Now, it is up to each major direct disciple to convey the message on behalf of their masters.
In any case, the first step is to distribute the deserved rewards and at least send off that group of demonic allies.
These big demons staying in the sect every day, eating and drinking for free, consume a significant amount of spiritual materials and medicines.
Walking under the cover of night, Li Muyang and Li Yuechan arrived at the central square of the Hall of Enforcement, where all the inner disciples of the Hall of Enforcement had gathered.
Because the event was so grand, even some of the enforcers within the Hall of Enforcement came out to join in the excitement.
Those enforcers at the Cave Profound and Divine Travel Realms, curious, either sat or stood at a distance, watching the distribution of rewards from afar.
And as Yan Xiaoru’s only direct disciple, Ning Wan’er took charge of distributing the rewards this time.
The Hall of Enforcement, as the main force in quelling the chaos and having followed Yan Xiaoru into Tianjiao City for a long undercover mission, almost everyone received a generous reward.
But the grand finale, naturally, was Li Muyang.
Without a doubt, Li Muyang became a direct disciple and received all the spiritual materials previously promised to him by Gong Yanghong.
The large amount of top-tier spiritual materials awarded made everyone below envious.
However, what Li Muyang was concerned about was a strange additional item in the pile of rewards.
“...Home leave?”
Stepping down from the high platform, Li Muyang looked at his little sister Li Yuechan with some suspicion.
This home leave was granted to him, Li Yuechan, and Ning Wan’er.
The Demonic Sect allowed them to take half a year off to return home for a family visit.
To outsiders, Li Muyang’s return would be a glorious homecoming, a cause for envy.
But Li Muyang had no interest in returning home.
He suspected that his little sister was just messing around.
However, Li Yuechan looked at him innocently and said, “This wasn’t my doing. Elder Yan is showing us compassion, and it just so happens to be a good time for the three of us to go home together.”
“The timing is just right.”
Li Yuechan looked at Li Muyang innocently and said, “No matter what... brother, you have to go home and break off that marriage, right? Don’t forget, uncle mentioned a marriage arrangement for you before... Even though you ran away, you should at least go back and formally break off the engagement, right?”
“The Miss from the Du family hasn’t even crossed your threshold yet, and you ran away, which is already quite irresponsible.”
“Now that you’ve become a direct disciple, although Miss Du can’t reach your high branch, you should at least go back and end this marriage gracefully, right?”
“Otherwise, how is Miss Du supposed to face others in Jiuyuan City in the future!”
