The Game with Fairies

Chapter 224

On the collapsed city wall, the girl in white drooled with anticipation as she looked at Li Muyang.

The giant mantis in the ghostly fog, however, remained silent.

Born and immediately blood sacrificed by her father, her soul trapped in the Four Directions Cauldron, the girl who grew up in the cauldron... Could this little girl be the spirit of the Four Directions Cauldron?

Yet she could see what was happening outside, at least she could see what was happening around her twin sister Shen Yan.

She watched her sister enjoy various delicacies from a young age, loved by their parents, and revered as the young lady of the Blood Lotus Sect.

While she grew up alone in this ghost city, never having tasted the flavors of the human world... it’s quite pitiful.

But Li Muyang dared not show pity easily.

This little girl could see through the Emerald Blade Mantis to the controlling Li Muyang behind it, which was too dangerous.

What if she told the others in the Blood Lotus Sect about this? How would Li Muyang explain?

Li Muyang remained silent, controlling the Emerald Blade Mantis to write words on the ground.

【Can’t the sect leader or your sister bring you the delicious food? If you ask, they wouldn’t refuse, right?】

Li Muyang cautiously wrote these probing words.@@@@

But the girl on the city wall pouted unhappily upon reading the words.

“I can see what my sister and the sect leader are doing, but I can’t talk to them. They can’t hear me either, otherwise, I would have asked them to bring me something tasty long ago.”

“Every time they throw something into the cauldron, it’s some fierce and annoying cultivator. They want me to eat those cultivators... yuck! They have no taste at all! I don’t want to eat them!”

The little girl spoke innocently of terrible things.

Li Muyang felt a chill run down his spine.

Eat cultivators... Was this little girl really the spirit of the Four Directions Cauldron?

But then again, she said she refused to eat those cultivators...

Li Muyang looked at the wandering spirits of the Blood Lotus Sect followers in the city and realized that although they were making noisy sounds, they were just repeating obsessive phrases without any conscious awareness.

The city’s ghosts lacked conscious awareness, and the girl couldn’t communicate with the outside world.

Didn’t that mean she was alone here, able to see everything in the outside world, yet completely isolated?

Although this meant Li Muyang didn’t have to worry about being exposed, he still felt somewhat sorry for her.

He sighed and controlled the Emerald Blade Mantis to write another line on the ground.

“I’ll take you to see that scary creature. It’s so ugly! It’s just lying in the cauldron, fast asleep!”

“No one inside the cauldron has ever been able to talk to me. You’re the first!”

The girl was extremely happy.

Her joy was so radiant that she seemed almost ready to fly, her whole being seemingly shining with light.

But this cheerful joy, contrasted with her life growing up confined in the Four Directions Cauldron, seemed all the more tragic.

Li Muyang felt a mix of emotions and curiosity.

【You don’t seem to hate your father or the people of the Blood Lotus Sect at all?】

This girl grew up alone in the Four Directions Cauldron, unable to communicate with the outside world yet able to see everything that happened outside.

Under such circumstances, she should have become a vengeful person twisted by hatred, wishing to destroy the Blood Lotus Sect.

But the girl was optimistic and cheerful, without a trace of hatred, and even diligently worked for the Blood Lotus Sect...

It was very illogical.

Seeing Li Muyang’s confusion, the girl tilted her head in thought and said,

“Actually, I also feel like I should hate them. Logically speaking, it would be right for me to hate them.”

“But I just can’t bring myself to hate them.”

The girl looked at Li Muyang innocently and said, “Maybe it’s because of something my father did to me when he blood sacrificed me.”

“I grew up in the cauldron since I was little, but I don’t harbor any resentment. Instead, I’m happy every day. Even though it’s boring and lonely in here, I’m just happy.”

“So I think, since I’m happy every day, there’s no need to overthink things.”

“Anyway, I’m happy.”

The girl said this with a giggly smile as she looked towards Emerald Blade Mantis and said,

“Speaking of which... Li Muyang, you’ve asked me so many questions. Are you concerned about me, do you feel sorry for me?”

“You’re really nice, much nicer than when you’re with my sister.”

“When you’re with her, I can tell you’re just going through the motions. Hehe...”

The girl was joyful and happy because of this small difference in treatment.

At this moment, her eyes were smiling so much that they were almost closed like a little fox that had stolen a chicken.
