In Luoyang City, Li Muyang commanded Nan Hua to continuously seek out generals enveloped in resentment and to provoke challenges.
Initially, he targeted those with lesser resentment, avoiding the more renowned and powerful generals.
Gradually, as his level increased, Li Muyang could also discern the strength disparity between opponents with his naked eye.
He began to challenge generals whose strength was not far off from his own, knowing that even if things occasionally went awry, the ability to load a saved game made it less of an issue.
Finally, he methodically leveled up to LV50, qualifying him to challenge the well-known generals.
Watching Yuan Shao ride his tall horse through the streets, Li Muyang had Nan Hua step forward to challenge him.
After a battle, Li Muyang successfully defeated Yuan Shao, and his level increased.
[Yuan Shao Defeated]
[Gained Experience Points X399]
[Acquired Liyang Sword]
[Gained Soul Grievance Treasure Bead X1]
[Nan Hua LV50 → LV51]
Li Muyang was somewhat surprised by the settlement interface popping up in his field of view.
In addition to the experience points, he also scored a purple weapon, the Liyang Sword, a pleasant surprise.
But what was this Soul Grievance Treasure Bead?
Li Muyang opened his inventory and found that the Soul Grievance Treasure Bead couldn’t be used, sold, or destroyed.
Inside the translucent, light green orb, a faint white mist drifted.
[Nan Hua: Finally got a Soul Grievance Treasure Bead… I need to collect enough of these to neutralize the city’s resentment.]
Understanding dawned on Li Muyang as he read the game protagonist’s voice text.
It turned out to be a quest item.
Elite monsters with names and reputations could drop quest items too?
He continued to control Nan Hua as he sought the next general.
At that moment, a mysterious fairy suddenly appeared on the street ahead.
—Yes, a mysterious fairy.
She was surrounded by a light mist, making her face unclear, but the blood bar above her head with the words “Mysterious Fairy” was extremely eye-catching.
[Mysterious Fairy: Who art thou? Darest thou trespass into this den of dragons and lair of tigers?]
Li Muyang, utilizing a god’s-eye view, kept adjusting the angle of his gaze, trying to see through the mist to glimpse the true form of the fairy within.
Although he couldn’t see clearly through the mist, he had the feeling that she was a great beauty indeed.
True to “The Game with the Fairies,” the system never forgot its essence.
At first, he thought that “Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles” was all about fighting monsters and leveling up.
But he didn’t expect a fairy to pop up so soon.
Unfortunately, despite Li Muyang adjusting the view for quite some time and having Nan Hua walk around the Mysterious Fairy, he still couldn’t see the fairy within the mist.
Instead, a question mark appeared above the head of the Mysterious Fairy.
[Mysterious Fairy: ?]
[Mysterious Fairy: Why dost thou circle around me?]
These words from the Mysterious Fairy finally triggered a response from Nan Hua.
Two options popped up in Li Muyang’s field of view.
[(This person is the guardian dragon god of Luoyang City, invincible to power, escape is a must.)]
[(I never imagined the dragon god would be a woman… alas, I am not skilled in dealing with women, otherwise, there might be a chance to parley with her.)]
[…]
Three options, the first two reflecting Nan Hua’s inner thoughts.
The third option was for Li Muyang to enter his own response.
After some thought, Li Muyang chose the third option and entered his own message.
[Nan Hua: I am Nan Hua, here in Luoyang City to calm the chaos of resentful spirits.]
Li Muyang briefly explained his intention with succinctness.
Such an act of calming resentful spirits, since the other party was a dragon god fairy, presumably from the righteous faction, wasn’t likely to give him trouble, was she?
“`
There’s an old saying: one does not slap a smiling face.
However, just as Li Muyang was confirming this saying, the mysterious fairy in the mist became angry.
[Mysterious Fairy: What Luoyang City? Nonsense!]
The next second, the fairy in the mist swung her arm forcefully, and Nan Hua, the old immortal on the street, was split in two.
[Victory and defeat are common in the military, please try again, Immortal]
The failure screen emerged, and Li Muyang was somewhat speechless.
“This Dragon Fairy seems to have a bit of a temper…”
She looks cold and indifferent, but kills at the slightest disagreement.
Li Muyang loaded his game again, returning to the moment right after he had killed Yuan Shao, with the mysterious fairy appearing before him.
[Mysterious Fairy: Who art thou? How dare you break into this place of dragons and tigers?]
The same scene unfolded. This time, Li Muyang was more careful with his words, and his text was very sincere.
However, after he finished speaking, Nan Hua was once again sliced in two by the mysterious fairy.
“…This is not right.”
After reloading and trying different dialogue options six times, Li Muyang realized he was still being killed by the mysterious fairy.
It seemed that the mysterious fairy had PTSD regarding the three words “Luoyang City”; whenever Li Muyang mentioned Luoyang City, she would kill.
What did Luoyang City do to offend her?
Next, Li Muyang tried not to mention the three words “Luoyang City,” only saying that he came to calm the resentful spirits in the city. This time, the fairy’s attitude finally improved a lot, and she did not kill on the spot. Find exclusive stories on M V L
But she still did not welcome Li Muyang.
[Mysterious Fairy: The evil ghosts in the city have all been suppressed by me, there is no need for you to appease them]
As her voice faded, the fairy in the mist made a slight gesture with her hand.
The young man on the street collapsed limply, a wisp of blue smoke rose from his body and uncontrollably drifted away into the distance.
[You have been expelled from Luoyang City, game over]
[Victory and defeat are common in the military, please try again, Immortal]
“This Dragon Fairy is quite formidable,” in a turn-based combat game, she can directly kill without even entering the combat phase.
Li Muyang loaded his game once more, and this time upon seeing the mysterious fairy, he chose not to waste words and fled immediately.
Luckily, this option seemed to be the right one.
With a single step, Nan Hua’s figure disappeared from the street, reappearing a hundred yards away.
The game scene switched instantly.
Thanks to the Divine Skill of Shrinking Earth Into Inches, Nan Hua easily shook off the mysterious fairy.
And ahead at the tea stand, sat the three brothers, Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
“…Honestly, I don’t know why the three of us brothers are exhausting ourselves for nothing, having gained nothing.”
The burly man with the bushy beard, Zhang Fei, complained to his older brother.
Li Muyang was a bit surprised.
Why were these three brothers always sitting here?
And even their voices hadn’t changed. Was this game that rudimentary and rough? With NPCs only staying in one place…
Li Muyang passed by the three brothers without challenging them again.
The resentment emanating from these three brothers was almost tangible, even more terrifying than that of the “Great General He Jin.”
Li Muyang had no desire to waste time reloading the game.
He walked past the three brothers to the gates of a mansion, where he found [Yan Liang]and [Wen Chou]standing guard.
“A white horse? I’ll make sure he never returns!”
It was a mystery why these two brothers would say such a phrase; it shouldn’t have anything to do with them, right?
But it didn’t matter.
Li Muyang took control of Nan Hua and walked forward to challenge them, successfully defeating the two brothers, Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
As his level increased, Li Muyang obtained two Treasure Beads of Wailing Spirits.
But after he defeated Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the figure of the mysterious fairy appeared silently.
[Mysterious Fairy: Who exactly art thou? Why dost thou wreak havoc in the city?]
