The Game with Fairies

The sloppy drunkard Jiang Xiaoyu left the crowd and entered the dim alley.

His dialogue entries revealed the game’s main quest to Li Muyang.

【Mission: Find the immortal sword Jinghong left by Fairy Yu in Nanjiang City.】

“Good, the main storyline is here.”

Li Muyang, having controlled Jiang Xiaoyu through the initial plot, let out a sigh of relief.

Although the third-person god-like perspective of the game was not as free, Li Muyang was actually more adept at this mode of operation.

He recalled that in the opening CG, Fairy Yu died on a broken bridge in the city.

Thus, Li Muyang controlled Jiang Xiaoyu to head towards the central area of Nanjiang City.

At this time, Nanjiang City was incredibly lively, with demons and ghosts dressed in red and green parading and celebrating on almost every main road.

In this city, mortals and demons coexisted harmoniously, which looked exceedingly strange.

Li Muyang observed carefully for a long time and noticed that among the crowd, there were many half-demons.

Recalling previous information, this Nanjiang City was obviously a place where humans and demons lived together, even intermarrying and having children.

Humans and demons marrying as a norm…

Even in a world rampant with demonic paths, this Nanjiang City was outrageous enough.

Humans and demons coexisting harmoniously, even intermarrying, was like something out of a ghost story.

For most demons, mortals were blood food and sustenance.

Demons and Li Muyang’s group of demonic cultivators didn’t mix, let alone with mortals.

And in Nanjiang City, demons marrying humans was like people using bread to ‘beep beep beep’—it was quite mind-boggling.

Li Muyang sighed, “Such a unique city, if it really existed in reality, it would definitely be easy to find.”

From Jiang Xiaoyu’s dialogue entries, it seemed that only Nanjiang City was a place where humans and demons coexisted.

Then Fairy Yu’s left-behind immortal sword…

Li Muyang’s eyes lit up.

If there was a Nanjiang City in reality, then by controlling Jiang Xiaoyu to hide the sword, he could find an opportunity to retrieve it personally later—wouldn’t that be like getting an immortal sword for free?

“Alright, alright, alright, another reason to beat the game.”

“Now I really have to beat it!”

Li Muyang was brimming with enthusiasm as he controlled Jiang Xiaoyu moving through Nanjiang City.

Even though it was a third-person RPG, the map of Nanjiang City was larger than he had imagined, and Jiang Xiaoyu didn’t have the ability to shrink distances like Immortal Nanhua, so he could only rely on running on foot.

As he made Jiang Xiaoyu run tirelessly through the city, Li Muyang gradually became speechless, reminiscent of the helplessness he felt running across maps in World of Warcraft back in the day.

Sometimes having too big of a map isn’t a good thing.

After much effort, Li Muyang managed to get Jiang Xiaoyu to the city center, only to find the road ahead blocked.

A group of demons dressed in constable uniforms stood in the street, coldly shouting.

“Stand back, all of you! No entry allowed!”

【Jiang Xiaoyu: …The road is blocked? I’ll have to find another way.】

In the game, Jiang Xiaoyu yawned and obediently left after being scolded by the demons.

Li Muyang made him run quickly to another street corner, only to see that the way was blocked by human constables this time.

Several tall human constables with waist knives stood at the intersection, telling the approaching Jiang Xiaoyu.

“This road is closed! Stand back, all of you!”

The human constables were clearly more friendly toward the human Jiang Xiaoyu, but they still wouldn’t let him through.

Li Muyang made Jiang Xiaoyu run back and forth, only to find that all the roads leading to the city center were blocked.

There were human roadblocks, demon roadblocks, and even half-demon ones… The group powers in Nanjiang City were clearly divided.

Demons stuck together, humans stuck together, and the half-demons had their own group.

【Jiang Xiaoyu: All roads are blocked, looks like I’ll have to sneak in.】

【Jiang Xiaoyu: It’s a pity that my vital energy is destroyed, and I can’t use my magical powers, otherwise these small fries couldn’t possibly stop me.】

The drunken Jiang Xiaoyu stood in a corner sighing, looking helpless.

In Li Muyang’s view, a system prompt popped up.

【Please use the Invisibility Charm to sneak into the Broken Bridge.】

“An item? Invisibility Charm?”

Li Muyang curiously opened the inventory, only to find that Jiang Xiaoyu’s character backpack actually had quite a few things.

【Fragmented Silver】X12

【Nightmare Ribbon】X1

【Invisibility Charm】X3

【Hangover Relief Charm】X6

【Fine Wine Charm】X33

【Dirty Handkerchief】X1

【Bone Gourd】X1

【Vomit-stained Blood】X3

【Soul-devouring Blue Robe】X1

Looking at the messy items in the backpack, Li Muyang’s mouth twitched.

Some were completely useless junk items, with images that were quite disturbing.

However, among this mess, there were a few charms that were quite useful.

【Invisibility Charm: A charm stolen by Jiang Xiaoyu, grants invisibility for 10 minutes.】

【Blazing Fire Charm: A charm stolen by Jiang Xiaoyu, can shoot out a strand of Samadhi True Fire.】

【Flying Sword Charm: A charm Jiang Xiaoyu won in a bet, can release a flying sword to kill enemies.】

Li Muyang selected the Invisibility Charm, saved the game, and then confirmed its use.

【Invisibility Charm used】

In the game, Jiang Xiaoyu’s figure quickly became transparent, and a buff appeared in the top right corner of the view 【Invisibility Status: 09:59】.

Li Muyang controlled the transparent Jiang Xiaoyu towards the road ahead.

As Jiang Xiaoyu approached the group of demon constables, one with a dog’s head sniffed the air.

“…There’s the scent of a living person!”

Instantly, all the demons looked up, following the gaze of the canine demon and locked onto the semi-transparent Jiang Xiaoyu.

【Jiang Xiaoyu: …Seems like I’ve been discovered?】

The next second, the game character Jiang Xiaoyu dashed away, instantly running out of Li Muyang’s view.

【Infiltration Failed】

The four characters appeared before Li Muyang, leaving him somewhat speechless.

“This Invisibility Charm can’t hide scent? What a trash charm.”

After reloading the save, Li Muyang didn’t use the Invisibility Charm but instead controlled Jiang Xiaoyu to take a detour to a street corner guarded by human constables.

The group of demons had a keen-nosed canine demon, but surely these humans couldn’t also have a keen sense of smell?

Li Muyang used the Invisibility Charm and controlled the invisible Jiang Xiaoyu towards the road ahead.

This time, he easily passed the intersection, bypassing the human constables.

However, before Li Muyang could rejoice, the invisible Jiang Xiaoyu had just walked a short distance when a Sword Qi suddenly flew out from the shadows.

“Who’s there sneaking around? Show yourself!”

A middle-aged man with a 【Luo Qunshan】 health bar appeared ahead, staring intently at Jiang Xiaoyu’s location.

【Infiltration Failed】

Another failure notice appeared, and the system forced a return to the save point before the infiltration.

Looking at the group of constables at the distant intersection, Li Muyang scratched his head.

“Is there something wrong with my approach? Why do I get discovered no matter which intersection I go to…”
