The Game with Fairies

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?

【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.

【This is one of my incarnations, also trapped here. Outside the city is not the human world; There are no pastries or snacks you desire.】

Li Muyang succinctly shattered the girl’s hopes.

But the girl, upon reading this line, showed no sign of disillusionment. Instead, she said to the Emerald Blade Mantis.

“But your real body is still in Tianjiao City, right? Half an hour ago, my sister went to see you.”

“Find me something tasty in the city and sneak it into the Four Directions Cauldron.”

“As long as you pour those tasty things into the Four Directions Cauldron, I’ll be able to eat them.”

The girl looked at Li Muyang with eager anticipation, ready to give it a try.

“It’s simple! Just pour the tasty food into the Four Directions Cauldron, and you don’t have to do anything else. I’ll be able to eat it!”

“The scary creature inside the cauldron is too lazy to even eat cultivators. I have to feed it every time. If you pour the food in, it won’t compete with me for it!” ṚＡꞐꝊʙĚs

With these simple words, the little girl inadvertently revealed another important piece of information.

Li Muyang looked at the innocent girl before him, who was unwittingly spilling her secrets one after another, and sighed silently.

The intelligence was coming too easily, making him feel a bit embarrassed.

It was the first time he encountered a situation where he didn’t need to coax information out, and the other party was voluntarily confessing.

The Emerald Blade Mantis wrote on the ground again,

【The scary creature in the cauldron? What is it?】

“It’s the spirit of the Four Directions Cauldron,” the girl pointed to the huge cauldron shadow behind her in the city.

“That thing is resting and sleeping inside the cauldron, and no matter how noisy it gets, it won’t wake up.”

“That’s why my dad let me come in, to replace that sleeping scary creature and do its job.”

“Every time someone from the Blood Lotus Sect dies, their soul returns to the Four Directions Cauldron, and I help them reshape their bodies and send them back.”

“But doing these things requires a lot of spiritual power. So we have to feed the sleeping creature inside the cauldron a lot of cultivators. Once it’s full, the cauldron will have the spiritual power to help the people of the Blood Lotus Sect resurrect.”

The girl said this unhappily.

“That creature is so annoying, fierce even in its sleep, and ugly too.”

“Staying with such a scary and sleepy creature every day is so boring.”

Saying this, the girl looked at the Emerald Blade Mantis with great anticipation and invited, “Li Muyang, do you want to come in and see?”

“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.
