The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

"...You're not allowed to hit me!"

Yan Xiaoru blurted out such a sentence as if possessed by a demon.

After she spoke subconsciously, she wanted to shrink back.

However, the moment she spoke, she realized the disparity in status between the two of them.

—Why would Li Muyang have any right to hit her?

And, why should she be afraid!

The previously weaker Yan Xiaoru suddenly found her confidence again.

She looked up glaring at Li Muyang and said, "You wouldn't dare to hit me!"

Her emphatic statement was still blurted out subconsciously.

However, after saying it, Yan Xiaoru realized that it might have been inappropriate.

After all, she was a dignified Elder of the Demon Sect. How could she speak to an Inner Sect Disciple with such a tone?

Realizing this, Yan Xiaoru's eyes widened, staring intensely at Li Muyang, trying to exhibit the cold and intimidating demeanor she typically had, hoping to regain some control of the situation.

However, even with her eyes widened, she didn't look cold at all.

That effortful glare and stubborn indignation made her seem more like a childish sulk.

Seeing Yan Xiaoru trying so hard to glare, Li Muyang, who was initially slapped and somewhat stunned, was suddenly rendered speechless and burst into laughter on the spot.

"Haha..."

Li Muyang didn't laugh loudly.

But to Yan Xiaoru's ears, such laughter was extremely grating.

Her body trembling, she stared fiercely at Li Muyang, as if she wanted to kill him with her gaze.

In her eyes, a thin layer of mist began to form.

"You... you..."

The cold and indifferent Elder Yan could not even formulate a complete sentence at that moment.

Trembling, she stared hard at Li Muyang, seemingly angry, but she looked more wronged than anything.

"What are you laughing at!"

Elder Yan's voice trembled, even carrying a hint of a sob, "Do you find what I said that funny?"

Seeing the shaking body of Yan Xiaoru and the snow-white ravine at her chest that trembled along with her.

Li Muyang composed himself and managed to suppress his smile, showing a serious and solemn expression.

"Elder Yan..."

Li Muyang opened his mouth to call out but hesitated after speaking.

Yan Xiaoru's antics had turned the originally solemn atmosphere into one of comedy and awkward humor.

As a result, what he had initially planned to say now seemed rather out of place.

But in the end, Li Muyang still steeled himself and repeated that statement once again.

"The question you asked me on the city wall ten days ago, can you ask me again?" Li Muyang looked sincerely into her eyes.

His hand was gripping Yan Xiaoru tightly.

As if she would fly away the moment he let go.

The two stared at each other for a while, big eyes to small eyes, until the mist in Yan Xiaoru's eyes slowly dissipated and her expression calmed down.

She looked at Li Muyang expressionlessly, as well as at his hand holding hers, and said, "Is it appropriate for you to hold my hand like this?"

"Uh... it's not too bad," Li Muyang responded earnestly, "Quite soft."

Those three words instantly broke through the composure Yan Xiaoru had worked so hard to maintain.

Staring at Li Muyang dumbfounded, she looked as if she was seeing this Inner Sect Disciple in a new light.

"...Have you lost your mind?!"

After a long silence, Yan Xiaoru finally managed to squeeze out this challenging question.

Staring at Li Muyang, she was both embarrassed and annoyed, "Do you think that at this critical juncture, you can just insult me as you please?" Discover hidden content at empire

"Just because you can resist the charms of the Blood Lotus Sect, I must yield to you?"

"Li Muyang, what exactly do you think I, Yan Xiaoru, am?!"

Yan Xiaoru was a mix of shame and anger, utterly furious, her body even trembling.

The usually aloof Law Enforcement Elder had never shown such a demeanor in front of others.

But Li Muyang looked at her calmly, seriously and honestly.

"If I wanted to humiliate you, I could have done so back in the secret realm of Demon Sword City."

With just one sentence, Li Muyang silenced Yan Xiaoru.

After she stood rigidly for a moment, a faint blush emerged from the ears of this usually aloof female Elder.

She stared at Li Muyang intently, as this was the first time they had openly mentioned the incident since Demon Sword City half a year ago.

Over the past half-year, both had tacitly avoided discussing what happened in the secret realm of Demon Sword City.

But now Li Muyang had brought it up actively, and he spoke so bluntly.

Back in the secret realm of Demon Sword City, not only had Yan Xiaoru's cultivation disappeared, but she had even fainted several times.

If Li Muyang had wanted to do something to her then...

Yan Xiaoru clenched her teeth and stared at Li Muyang, "Are you saying I should thank you for that?"

The aloof Elder Yan seemed to have regained the momentum of the Law Enforcement Elder.

However, her frosty expression only gave Li Muyang a headache.

"Why do you always avoid my questions?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Muyang grabbed the woman's hand, looked into her eyes with resignation, and said, "Every time I want to have a serious talk, you deliberately change the subject...What are you so afraid of?"

"Am I going to eat you up?"

Li Muyang was very tired.

Yet Yan Xiaoru tried to break free from Li Muyang's grasp, glaring at him, "Who's afraid of you? Let go!"

Yan Xiaoru struggled, even reaching out with her other hand, attempting to pry Li Muyang's fingers open.

But when she extended her hand, Li Muyang's free hand also reached out and grasped hers.

Standing face to face, their hands joined together, time seemed to stand still.

Because her hands were open and tightly held by Li Muyang, Yan Xiaoru was suddenly wide open.

Facing the man before her, she suddenly found herself without any defense.

Yan Xiaoru's gaze flickered, and she stepped back uneasily, "...What do you want to do?"

But Li Muyang had already lost his patience with her continuous avoidance and dodging.

He glared at Yan Xiaoru, annoyed, and dragged her over, forcefully pulling her in front of him.

"Can you listen to me until I finish?"

Li Muyang pulled the woman trying to evade him in front of him, then embraced her waist amidst her startled gaze and forcibly seated her on a stool beside him.

The moment Yan Xiaoru was lifted, her body froze as if icebound, and she dared not move an inch.

Only after Li Muyang had seated her on the stool did she dare to breathe.

Looking uncertainly at Li Muyang as he backed away, Yan Xiaoru nervously crossed her hands over her belly.

"What...what do you want to say?"

She felt as though she was about to hear some appalling and outrageous words, her instincts urging her to flee.

But beholding the man's imposing figure before her, recalling his recent actions...Yan Xiaoru didn't dare to make a move.

"Just say whatever you want to say," Yan Xiaoru was still trying to maintain the dignity of a Law Enforcement Elder.

However, Li Muyang's casual remark once again shattered her authority.

"Yan Xiaoru, you like me...don't you?"

At that casual remark, Yan Xiaoru's face turned red in an instant.

"You're slandering me!"
