The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 382 Gentle Big Sister
Having decided to return to Black Cloud Fort, Little Wild Grass and Li Muyang didn't linger in Yellow Wind Valley.
After packing their bags and thanking Willow Lady San Niang for her hospitality, they visited Peach Blossom Immortal Realm and Yangshou Mountain to bid farewell to the two Immortals and inquire about the latest news.
However, the old Immortal of Yangshou Mountain wasn't home, having gone out to visit friends. The child left in charge, naive and innocent, didn't even know about the North Sea Dragon Lord being slain, let alone other news.
In Peach Blossom Immortal Realm, the Peach Blossom Fairy was at home, but she was merely tending to the spiritual herbs and flowers within the realm.
Regarding Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass's decision to head south to Black Cloud Fort, the Peach Blossom Fairy expressed her nostalgia.
"With things having reached this point, there's no other choice but to go back."
"Fortunately, although the lineage of evil veins possesses bizarre powers, they aren't considered evil people of the Demon Path. Perhaps during your journey south, you may turn bad luck into good fortune."
As she spoke, the Peach Blossom Fairy retrieved a jade Ruyi and said to Li Muyang and his companion.
"Actually, this time you're going down to Black Cloud Fort, if you see the Temple-Sealing Lord, please trouble yourselves to return this item to him and tell him... hmm..."
The Peach Blossom Fairy's eyes held a complex expression, and she sighed as if there were many things she wanted to say.
But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, in the end, they only transformed into an enigmatic smile.
"Never mind, there's nothing much to say. Just returning this item to him will suffice."
"Please take the trouble to do so."
The Peach Blossom Fairy handed over the Jade Ruyi. Little Wild Grass reached out to take it, somewhat curious.
"So, the Fairy was acquainted with the Temple-Sealing Lord?"
The Temple-Sealing Lord was a tyrannical and cruel Demon Cultivator, considered a vicious and sinister character even among those on the Demon Path.
Before taking refuge in Black Cloud Fort, the Temple-Sealing Lord had an infamous reputation in the Cultivation World.
Going to Black Cloud Fort, the Temple-Sealing Lord not only usurped the nest by occupying the cave in the mountains behind the fort but also enticed the locals into cultivating demonic techniques as part of some scheme.
Little did one expect that such a cruel and vile character of the Demon Path would have a past acquaintance with the kind-hearted Peach Blossom Fairy.
In her hands even lay a treasure gifted by the Temple-Sealing Lord, which seemed like some kind of token... uh...
Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass's eyes were filled with gossip.
The Peach Blossom Fairy smiled candidly and shook her head, "I do indeed have some history with the Temple-Sealing Lord. When he first entered the Demon Path and was still a young man, I once saved his life."
"To repay me for saving him, he followed me for a while."
"I advised him to abandon the Demon Path, and when he left, he said he would give it up. He even left behind this family heirloom Jade Ruyi, claiming he would pursue the righteous Path of Immortality and, once he had achieved fame and success therein, would come to claim it from me."
As the Peach Blossom Fairy said this, she shook her head again, "Now it seems there's no longer any need to keep this Jade Ruyi."
The Temple-Sealing Lord had delved deep into the Demon Path, becoming increasingly malevolent.
Nobody knew what kinds of nefarious arts he had researched during his secretive cultivation in Black Cloud Fort these years.
The disappointment in the eyes of the Peach Blossom Fairy was poignant.

Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass took the Jade Ruyi and bid farewell, leaving Peach Blossom Immortal Realm and heading south towards Black Cloud Fort.
Their escaping light sped through the high sky, and Li Muyang couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
"...The Temple-Sealing Lord, this guy, actually had such a story from his past," he mused.
In his naive days of first entering the jianghu, he had stumbled upon a gentle and benevolent Immortal big sister, whose strong hands had pulled him from peril, and he had even spent some time following this sister.
Such an experience had a devastating emotional impact.
The Peach Blossom Fairy might very well be the unattainable love that the Temple-Sealing Lord had kept in his heart for many years.
He even considered abandoning the Demon Path for the sake of the Immortal maiden.
But alas, in the end, not only did he not abandon the Demon Path, but he also delved deeper into it and became a notoriously infamous demon lord.
What happened in between is unknown, but the story must have been fascinating.
When the Temple-Sealing Lord later achieved fame and notoriety on the Demon Path and became a significant demon lord, what were his feelings as he gazed northward, looking toward the Immortal maiden in the North lands?
Li Muyang suddenly thought of the world ten thousand years later, where the Temple-Sealing Lord's forehead bone appeared within the territories of the North Land counties.
This demon lord, who had built his great ambitions in the south, ultimately died in the northern territory where the peach blossom Immortal maiden resided... Tsk... I really want to know the rest of the story.
But at this moment, what concerned Li Muyang more was the encounter on his trip to the south.
Although his relationship with Granny Valley wasn't particularly good, it was not bad either.
The ones Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass had always needed to worry about were the demon cultivators from the Temple-Sealing Lord's group.
Jiang Xiaoyu, this game character, was a member of Black Cloud Fort that followed the Temple-Sealing Lord in practising the Demon Path; according to rules, he couldn't leave.
Once he left Black Cloud Fort, the group of demon cultivators would not let Jiang Xiaoyu off the hook.
In the previous stages of "The Fatal Wild Grass," every time Li Muyang took Little Wild Grass to flee Black Cloud Fort, those who came to hunt them down were the Temple-Sealing Lord's group of demon cultivators, and not Granny Valley.
This time, as Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass returned to Black Cloud Fort, the biggest crisis was the Temple-Sealing Lord's group of demon cultivators.

But now, they held the Jade Ruyi; with this token, perhaps the Temple-Sealing Lord's attitude would improve a bit?
The peach blossom Immortal maiden must also have been concerned about Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass's safety, which is why she took out the Jade Ruyi as a token.
Apart from being disheartened and disappointed in the Temple-Sealing Lord, she also hoped he would remember how she once saved his life and not trouble the two of them.
This gentle and kind-hearted peach blossom Immortal maiden was indeed a very good person.
Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass analyzed the peach blossom Immortal maiden's intentions behind this gesture and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's a pity that the Immortal maiden's kind intentions were betrayed by that greedy Temple-Sealing Lord," Little Wild Grass sighed, looking at Li Muyang.
"If it were Big Brother, he would certainly not go back on promises he made."
"If the Temple-Sealing Lord had even half of Big Brother's integrity, perhaps there would be no demon lord Temple-Sealing Lord in the world now, but a Temple-Sealing Immortal Lord instead..." Little Wild Grass lamented.
Li Muyang coughed and quickly said, "That's an exaggeration..."
Even with thick skin like a city wall, he felt somewhat awkward by Little Wild Grass's rigid flattery.
Everything about Little Wild Grass was good, except that she often said such embarrassingly flattering things to praise him, making Li Muyang sometimes wonder if the girl was deliberately mocking him.
Me, a mere mortal, you, a half-step Immortal, praising my wisdom and valor every day... Isn't there a law against that?
Unable to endure Little Wild Grass's habitual awkward flattery, Li Muyang hastily changed the subject.
And while they chatted idly, their Escaping Light soared over the vast land, with mountains rapidly receding from view.
From the extreme northern region of this world, they travelled south, eventually crossing the perennially hot equator line, entering the far south of the great earth.
Unlike the weather in the north, close to winter with occasional snowfall, the southern ten-thousand mountains were experiencing the warm spring blooms of March.
The ten-thousand mountains, covered with blooming rhododendrons and presenting a riot of colors from a distance, looked like a vibrant, dreamlike world.
Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass landed outside the ten-thousand mountains and walked on foot into this remote and difficult mountain range.
