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

A total of 61 ghouls, Li Muyang has already slain 10.

But during this process of slaying the ghouls, Li Muyang made a discovery that as he killed more ghouls, the remaining ones actually grew stronger.

The ghouls encountered earlier, no matter where, the first one killed always had a level and attributes weaker than the last one encountered.

It seemed as if with the disappearance of their kind, the remaining ghouls continuously grew stronger.

At this moment, the three ghouls outside the village even knew how to collaborate.

After Li Muyang appeared outside the village, those three red dots quickly converged in one place and took a vantage point atop a hill behind the village, observing from high ground.

It was not until Li Muyang disbanded the villagers that these three ghouls directly blocked the way, appearing outside the courtyard gate.

This was the ancestral hall of the village, the most spacious place in the entire village. The villagers had set up a banquet at the entrance of the ancestral hall to entertain Li Muyang, which was their most grandiose form of courtesy.

Now that the ghouls had appeared outside the ancestral hall, Li Muyang let out a cold laugh and stood up.

The Princess of the Defunct Country behind him moved even faster.

Although the Princess of the Defunct Country did not participate in the battle against the six ghouls slain earlier.

But after the ghouls' death, not a single bit of her due Experience Points was missing.

At this time, the Princess of the Defunct Country had already leveled up to LV6, stepping up a tier in attributes.

With a swift leap, she dashed out from beside Li Muyang, leaving behind a ghostly afterimage.

The courtyard wall of the ancestral hall was violently shattered.

The three ghouls hiding behind the courtyard wall were caught off guard and revealed themselves.

They turned out to be figures resembling three villagers.

But the health bars atop their heads were red, indicating they were [Ghouls].

These three ghouls evidently did not anticipate their whereabouts to be exposed, being intercepted as soon as they approached.

One of the ghouls hadn't even managed to reveal its true form when the wildly growing Snake Hair of the Princess of the Defunct Country wrapped around its head.

The furiously biting Snake Hair caused the ghoul to let out a piercing scream, forcing it to open its eyes to meet the blank, white gaze devoid of any pupils from the Princess of the Defunct Country.

[Tear Pupil]!

The Tear Pupil skill at level LV6 now boasts much increased power.

The ghoul that was stared at by those ghastly white pupils instantly stiffened, its body went dull, and a frigid frost spread from its eyes outward, soon enveloping its entire body.

The remaining two ghouls wailed miserably and finally revealed their forms, which were ugly and ferocious monsters.

One ghoul had long slender limbs, standing tall like a massive spider in the middle of the village, with a serpent-like head issuing a savage roar.

Another ghoul was twisted in shape, with segments of pale joints extending from inside its body, looking like a bizarre skeleton creature.

The two ghouls launched an attack towards the Princess of the Defunct Country, but the princess, already forsaking her daytime corpse form, completely transformed into the terrifying appearance of a monster with Snake Hair and Gorgon Eyes.

It roared and, under Li Muyang's control, nimbly moved through the furious attacks of the two ghouls like drifting clouds and flowing water.

The raging, tempestuous attacks of the two ghouls couldn't even touch a corner of the princess's clothing.

Her slender yet grotesque and terrifying form, like dancing in a sandstorm, coldly unleashed skills, chopping off segments of the ghouls' health bars.

Three minutes later, the two ghouls successively fell, turning into human corpses as they howled pathetically.

The Princess of the Defunct Country, unharmed, after absorbing a certain essence from the three ghouls, once again drifted to Li Muyang's side.

[Princess of the Defunct Country LV6→LV7]

After defeating these three ghouls, the Princess of the Defunct Country leveled up again.

Li Muyang also leveled up and learned a new skill.

[Wind Walk Technique: Cast on a target puppet, lasts for 15s, increases puppet's speed by +80%, cooldown time 180 minutes]

"The puppets are leveling up faster than I am."

Li Muyang murmured to himself, this newly learned skill made him feel even more like a Summoner.

Previously it was combat skills, now he's started buffing pets.

Upon leaving, Li Muyang patted the stunned driver on the shoulder and said, "Before it gets dark, have the village chief come to clean up the corpses, the village's three nightmares have been wiped out."

Having said that, Li Muyang went into the house arranged for him by the villagers to rest, and turned on his AFK mode.

Dealing with these low-level monsters with his current combat intelligence is simply overkill; he didn't even need the Save-File Divine Skill.

Under his delicate control, he can defeat monsters without taking any damage.

However, as can be predicted, the further he goes, the stronger the nightmares he encounters will become.

Now having slain only 13 nightmares, they had already learned to cooperate.

What would the increasingly powerful nightmares he faces later on be like?

He's a bit curious...

Li Muyang AFKed through the night, and didn't log back on until the next day's dawn. He refused the villagers' profuse expressions of gratitude, continuing his journey in Ding Liang's drafty carriage to the next destination.

The morning sun spilled over the carriage, and the driver asked out of curiosity.

"Sir, the place we are headed to next... is there also trouble with evil spirits?"

Inside the carriage, as Li Muyang was about to go AFK, he glanced outside and responded indifferently: "Yeah."

His response was indifferent, but the driver didn't mind it at all, instead, he excitedly said.

"So you really are on a quest for evil spirits, to slay these demons?"

Filling the carriage was Li Muyang's indifferent reply: "You could say that."

The driver, Ding Liang, was even more thrilled: "Are you really that kind of noble Puppet Master who doesn't seek Silver Coins, and acts out of compassion for the world, who goes around slaying demons for mercy's sake?"

This time, a cold chuckle came from inside the carriage.

"Not exactly, whether I take money or not depends on my mood."

"Yesterday I was in a good mood, so I didn't charge. But next time, if I'm not feeling good, who knows? I might charge, and charge a hefty sum."

The Puppet Master's voice carried a hint of weariness and detachment.

Clearly, the big shot in the carriage no longer wished to talk.

The young driver, although inheriting his family's carriage and having been on the road for years, was well versed in the ways of the world.

However, after hesitating for several seconds, he still spoke softly.

"But I still think you are great. When you left today, you didn't see the way those villagers looked at us, I'll never forget that kind of gaze in my life."

"At least to them, you are the greatest Puppet Master in the world."

"And since Liao Kong Saint Monk is your friend, I think a friend of the Saint Monk must be a good person."

This time, there was no response from inside the carriage.

The Puppet Master inside seemed to have fallen asleep.

But the driver sat up straight, grasping the reins tightly, and continued on his own: "I've seen a few Puppet Masters before, even witnessed a great battle between Puppet Masters and evil spirits."

"But those Puppet Masters are nothing compared to you."

"The strongest among those Puppet Masters would seem like mere children in front of you."

"Your puppeteering skills, that technique, it's simply divine! Like a Divine being performing on a stage! I've never seen anything like it in my life!"
