The Game with Fairies-Chapter 272 - Are You Flirting with Another Woman?
Chapter 272: Are You Flirting with Another Woman?
“...Brother-in-law, why are you smiling so lewdly?”
In the misty ghost city, Shen Miao, dressed in plain white robes, rubbed her arms, looking somewhat uneasy and wary at the giant mantis in front of her.
“And you’re looking at me while you’re smiling lewdly... What’s the matter? You’re not planning on making a move on me, are you?”
The girl who had never left the Four Directions Cauldron stared at Li Muyang with great vigilance.
Li Muyang, still immersed in the blissful daze of a moment ago, came back to his senses and looked down at the girl at his feet.
“You can see my expression? Uh...”
After Li Muyang spoke, he realized he had asked a pointless question.
If Shen Miao could see his face through the Emerald Blade Mantis, naturally, she could also see his expression and smile.
Realizing this, Li Muyang coughed dryly, forcibly straightened his face, and reined in his smile.
“What do you mean, smiling lewdly... You’re talking nonsense, you little girl.”
Li Muyang stubbornly denied it: “I just thought of something happy, that’s all, so I smiled. You, young lady, have such a messy mind.”
“Don’t even mention about you, I’m not even interested in your sister.”
“And how many times have I told you? I am not your brother-in-law, it’s all your sect leader’s random matchmaking.”
After Li Muyang finished his stubborn denial, he immediately changed the subject seamlessly.
“Speaking of which, this Western White Tiger is so troublesome, do you have any good ideas?” Li Muyang forcefully shifted the topic.
Shen Miao, dressed as a mage, looked at him speechlessly and hummed softly.
“Western White Tiger... Hmph...”
The young girl clearly noticed that Li Muyang’s mind was elsewhere. But she couldn’t figure out why.
After all, Li Muyang was locked in a pitch-black prison with no contact with the outside world.
Her sister Shen Yan hadn’t visited the prison for two days.
Shen Miao speculated and said, “Brother-in-law, you... you haven’t been fooling around with another woman behind my sister’s back, have you?”
“That smile of yours just now was clearly because you were thinking of a woman!”
Shen Miao tried to get to the bottom of it, but Li Muyang didn’t give her the chance to press further.
“Thinking of what? I’m locked up in this dark prison, I can hardly even see a living person, let alone think of women.”
Li Muyang righteously denied the young girl’s suspicion, controlled the Emerald Blade Mantis to move forward, and soon entered the White Tiger secret realm.
The enormous Western White Tiger roared as it appeared in the secret realm.
Endless divine weapons and blades, swords, spears, and halberds flew around in this realm.
It was like a huge smelting factory, or a broken ancient battlefield.
The divine beast White Tiger, standing in the center of the realm, wielded the power of metal, and in an instant, countless flying swords shot towards the Emerald Blade Mantis.
The reason Li Muyang stayed in prison and didn’t deceive Yan Xiaoru was indeed to conquer this game.
But if Yan Xiaoru rescued him and he disappeared from the prison, Shen Miao would discover his identity as an undercover agent of the Demonic Sect... Li Muyang wasn’t sure if this young girl would still be willing to help him break the Four Symbols Great Array after knowing this.
Although Shen Miao should hate the Blood Lotus Sect, and even Fang Yingtian, she cared a lot about her sister Shen Yan.
Everything Li Muyang was about to do was a betrayal of Shen Yan, who knew how Shen Miao would react after finding out?
So, to be safe, it was better to continue playing the game in prison and not to disrupt the current situation.

Li Muyang denied the young girl’s guess and took her into the White Tiger secret realm.
As the divine beast White Tiger charged at them, Shen Miao had no time to ask further questions and immediately counterattacked.
The infant spirit girl trapped in the Four Directions Cauldron was even slightly stronger than the Emerald Blade Mantis at this time.
In their joint battle, she took the lead.
The two had been stuck at the White Tiger secret realm checkpoint for several days.
......
After Yan Xiaoru left, Li Muyang’s prison life returned to its peaceful state.
No more uninvited guests came to disturb him.
Even Shen Yan, who often came to discuss the city’s situation with him, was too busy with the escalating conflict and hadn’t visited the prison for several days.
While strategizing the game, Li Muyang listened to Shen Miao’s explanations of the outside world and deduced the current situation in the city.
For the Blood Lotus Sect, this turmoil could shake its foundation.
But if they didn’t rein in their power this time and allowed the Helmsmen and Incense Masters below to grow too powerful, the Blood Lotus Sect would eventually face a split.
By then, there would likely be even more casualties.
Ultimately, the Blood Lotus Sect’s past model was to fight independently, each to their own.
Now, Fang Yingtian wanted to change the sect’s model to centralize power, making this turmoil inevitable.
Both sides were still trying to restrain themselves and had not completely fallen out.
Fang Yingtian held the Four Directions Cauldron, which could strip cult members of their membership and make them lose the ability to resurrect after death.
Those unwilling Helmsmen and Incense Masters, who had operated their own branches for years with loyal subordinates, could start a rebellion with a single command.
Neither side wanted to take the final step unless absolutely necessary, but with the situation so intense, neither was willing to back down easily...
In Li Muyang’s view, Tianjiao City was like a pot of boiling hot oil.
Anything that fell into it would cause the oil to bubble furiously.
In the process of waiting, he finally, with some stumbling, broke through the White Tiger secret realm with Shen Miao and pulled out the White Tiger flag.
Now, only the North Black Tortoise flag remained in the Four Symbols Great Array.
Li Muyang, with the happy Shen Miao, headed towards the location of the Black Tortoise flag.
As long as they pulled out this last flag, they could save Shen Miao and clear the game. But just at that moment, the arrival of terrible news panicked the previously elated Shen Miao.
She suddenly jumped down from the top of the Emerald Blade Mantis, extremely flustered, and said to Li Muyang.
“It’s bad, brother-in-law, my sister has been attacked!”
The girl who was just excited and happy was now pale and anxious. “Just now, I saw from my sister’s perspective that she was ambushed and attacked! She’s already fainted!”
“You have to go back and see how she is, don’t let her be like Aunt Mei!”
Shen Miao was extremely anxious.
Hearing this news, Li Muyang was stunned and surprised.
“Shen Yan... was attacked?”
Upon hearing this news, a trace of concern arose in Li Muyang’s heart.
He didn’t have much dislike for Shen Yan, the enchantress of the Blood Lotus Sect. In fact, Shen Yan had taken good care of him.
But thinking of the consequences of Shen Yan’s attack, Li Muyang swallowed hard and murmured,
“It’s going to blow up, this is going to completely blow up...”
With Shen Yan’s attack, the boiling hot oil of Tianjiao City was bound to explode!
What followed would either be Fang Yingtian wiping out the opposition or those dissatisfied Helmsmen and Incense Masters successfully staging a coup!
And at this moment of complete loss of control, it was also the opportunity Yan Xiaoru had been waiting for to make her move.
Li Muyang felt a chill in his heart, realizing the pressure he was under.
Once Yan Xiaoru made her move, he would have to respond.
If they were to act, they had to succeed in completely quelling the unrest within the Blood Lotus Sect in one go!
