Games with fairies

Li Muyang walked through the stilted buildings in the village and arrived outside the village gate.

The most conspicuous thing after stepping out of the village gate is the woods in front of the road.

On the tree trunks with twisted branches, there were mummies hanging in a miserable death state.

These corpses were hung in the wild and seemed to have been hanging for a long time, but no scavengers came to eat them.

Li Muyang waited on the side of the road for a while and saw a carriage coming from the woods full of mummies in front of him.

The driver was dressed in black robes, with his face hidden under the hood, looking eerie and mysterious.

After he parked the car on the side of the road, Li Muyang saw three dirty children sitting in the truck bed.

These children, all with frightened and helpless eyes, huddled together in the carriage and remained motionless.

The driver in black robe glanced at Li Muyang and said hoarsely.

"The lamb you want from Heiyun Village."

Li Muyang keenly found his target among these three children.

【Small wild grass】

A huge light yellow blood bar floated above the head of one of the children.

She was dressed in thin, dirty linen, her hair was messy, and her face was covered with mud. She looked like any other child.

But there is no doubt that this is the target Li Muyang is looking for, the heroine of this nurturing game.

What followed was a smooth handover and payment. After counting the number of people, Li Muyang paid the money to the driver, and then led the three children towards the village.

Three half-grown children around the age of ten were all timid and following Li Muyang like frightened birds. They seemed to be frightened and could only obey obediently.

Li Muyang walked with the group of children in the village, and suddenly felt like a shepherd.

But the Demon Refining Sect herds real goats. Although the goats are a bit weird, they are indeed beasts.

These "lambs" in front of me are real humans...

Looking at these three shivering children and listening to the playful and laughing instructions from the villagers on the roadside, Li Muyang curled his lips.

What age are you still practicing traditional magic skills...

Look at the Demon Refining Sect, which is a big boss and occupies hundreds of cities. It has already developed a brand new method of cultivating demons and abandoned the traditional inefficient method of cultivating demons such as killing people, extracting bones and refining souls.

What a waste of killing.

The Demon Refining Sect directly abandoned the traditional practice of killing people and raised strange beasts and monsters such as two-legged sheep to replace human blood sacrifices.

As for the mortals in the territory under his command, they all had to pay taxes, work, and do hard labor to the Demon Refining Sect. They were squeezed as much as they could, and the value they created was much more than killing them directly.

As a magic cultivator in the new era, Li Muyang naturally despised the traditional magic cultivation methods in game copies.

But he didn't pay much attention.

After all, there must be a difference between the worldview in the game copy and reality. In the novice tutorial that I completed last time, there was no magic cultivator appearing in the Tianyuan Dynasty for thousands of years...

Li Muyang found Manager Wu with his three and a half-year-old children and handed over the money bag.

Manager Wu counted the coins in his purse and glanced at Li Muyang again.

He said: "Pick one, you are like this, don't go up the mountain again, lest you die in the mountain."

"Choose one of these three lambs and take it home. You will be responsible for taking care of it. Just don't feed it to death. From now on, you can move around freely in the village."

After Manager Wu finished speaking, another dialog box popped up in Li Muyang's field of vision.

【……I? Manager Wu, please don’t! I can keep going up the mountain! 】

[(Kneel down and kowtow directly to beg for mercy)]

"...?!" The two dialog boxes that popped up in his field of vision confused Li Muyang.

What's going on, let the game character choose a child to take home and raise... Why does it look like it's going to kill him?

These three children look harmless and timid. What is Leng Ah Qi afraid of?

Li Muyang was silent for a moment and chose the first one.

After Li Muyang chose the first one, the game character directly begged Manager Wu for mercy.

But after Manager Wu listened to the game character's begging for mercy indifferently, his eyes remained cold.

"Leng Ah Qi, don't play tricks with me here. You can either take one home or get out of the village. There is no other choice."

The old steward's attitude was very bad, and Li Muyang was silent for a moment.

A new dialog box pops up in the field of view.

【Choose a child to take home】

Li Muyang turned his head and looked at the three children in front of him again.

One boy and two girls, both about ten years old and dirty, looked like the kind of homeless disaster victims.

Their eyes seemed to be full of fear.

But for some reason, perhaps because of the influence of Manager Wu's words, when Li Muyang looked at the three children again, he felt a bit of danger.

——These three children don’t seem to be as simple as they appear on the surface.

He glanced at the three children in confusion, and finally chose the [Little Weed] with the light yellow blood strip on its head.

"Just her, I choose her."

Li Muyang pointed at the dirty little girl. Since it was a nurturing game, there was definitely only one choice. This little girl was going to be taken home.

If you lose this opportunity to adopt, the game will inevitably fail.

Li Muyang thought so, but when he opened his mouth to choose the little girl, the little girl stood with her head down and shrank without saying a word.

But the light yellow blood bar above her head instantly turned into a hostile red enemy blood bar.

This is crazy...

Is this hostile? Just because I chose you?

Li Muyang stared at the little girl speechlessly, thoroughly confirming that these three dead children were not as simple as they seemed.

These are three little lambs that are harmless to humans and animals. They are clearly three little monsters in sheep's clothing!

After Li Muyang finished the selection, Manager Wu went directly into the room, took a chain made of fine iron and threw it out.

"Remember to tie it up before going to bed every day and keep it away from you," Manager Wu glanced at Li Muyang and said, "But don't tie it too far away. She will go crazy if she can't absorb your yang energy."

What the hell...

After hearing this, Li Muyang almost threw the chain on Manager Wu's head.

These three little bastards are really not kind to each other. After bringing them home, they actually want to tie them to their sides and suck his yang energy?

What is this village doing, buying such a weird kid?

Li Muyang was puzzled, but Leng Aqi had already obediently picked up the chain and left.

And the [Little Weed] with the blood-red blood strip on its head followed Li Muyang obediently.

She didn't even need Li Muyang to greet her, she had already followed him sensibly.

Such a sweet little girl should be lovable.

But at this time, Li Muyang looked at the red blood bar above her head and felt speechless.

This damn kid is really good at pretending...

Fortunately, there are hostility prompts in the game. If he encountered such a terrifying dead child in reality, Li Muyang would really be fooled by her good and deceptive appearance.
