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

Tang Mengchen's red health bar, strikingly visible, shot out amidst the crowd.

It roared hideously, leading a horde of freshly transformed monsters, all roaring as they charged toward Nie Yubing in the sky.

Though the health bar ID read "Tang Mengchen," and her attire and memories were those of Tang Mengchen, she knew this wasn't the true skin-shedding monster.

But the creature before her was no longer Nie Yubing's stepmother.

She had turned into a malevolent and sinister monster, her appearance twisted into an ugly half-monster, her eyes flickering with a bloodthirsty and frenzied intent to kill, leading a group of monsters in an onslaught towards Nie Yubing above.

Nie Yubing was greatly alarmed, desperately resisting.

However, at that moment, a million living beings inside the Capital City had transformed into monsters.

A dense swarm of monsters took to the sky, like locusts ravaging the wilderness as they ascended.

The teeming, shadowy mass engulfed Nie Yubing.

[Nie Yubing has died, game over]

"..." Li Muyang winced at the system message that popped up in his field of vision.

"Following the storyline, it leads to a dead end?"

"After dawn inside the Capital City, will all living people turn into monsters?"

At that moment, Li Muyang finally understood where that strange group of Thousand Woes Guards came from.

They were transformed by the Emperor using dark magic, once living humans now warped into half-human, half-monster creatures devoid of vitality.

These monsters retained their human memories but were no longer the people they once were, having metamorphosed into evil monsters.

And the Emperor didn't stop at transforming that group of Thousand Woes Guards; he actually intended to turn every living person in the entire Capital City into monsters.

And he had succeeded!

Recalling the recent game scenes, the terrifying spectacle of over a million living people in the Capital City all turning into monsters... If all these monsters were under the Emperor's command, that would be invincible.

Even if the Sage of Green Leaves came back, he might be helpless against such an Emperor, right?

With millions of demons at his disposal, that kind of power on the sparsely inhabited Tianyuan Continent was simply unbeatable.

Was this the ultimate boss of the game? The difficulty just kept increasing...

Li Muyang had a headache.

He loaded the save file and re-entered the game.

Under the night sky, the little girl was swearing an oath to her stepmother.

"...If I break this oath, may I suffer the punishment of a thousand cuts and die without a place to be buried."

The little girl solemnly made her vow.

The woman with the "Tang Mengchen" health bar sighed, touched the girl's hair tenderly, and said,

"Alright! Then your stepmother will accompany you to save people tomorrow."

Having said this, Tang Mengchen was about to flee according to the original plot.

But Li Muyang, who now knew the game's plot, immediately spoke up.

"Yubing, ask your stepmother to wait!"

Li Muyang's words sprang out abruptly, starkly out of place.

But the little girl didn't hesitate at all.

"Stepmother, wait a moment!"

She immediately followed the Immortal's instructions and kept her stepmother from leaving.

Afterward, with the narrative from the Immortal beside her, the little girl, looking astonished, still obediently relayed the Immortal's message.

"Stepmother, we can't wait until tomorrow. It will be too late by then!"

The girl looked anxiously at the Immortal's figure and then toward the direction of the imperial palace, saying, "By noon tomorrow, the Emperor will cast a powerful dark spell, killing all living beings inside the Capital City and transforming them into half-human, half-monster creatures like the Thousand Woes Guards."

"We must rescue the two brothers from prison and escape the Capital City before noon tomorrow!"

The little girl relayed the words of the Immortal, revealing alarming news.

Facing such shocking news, Tang Mengchen subconsciously frowned and disbelieved.

"The Emperor wants to turn the entire city's people into monsters? How is that possible, there are over a million living people in the Capital City!"

"Where would he get such immense power from?"

Turning over a million people into monsters in a single day—such sorcery sounded like a fantastical tale, completely unrealistic.

Given such a vast number, to turn over a million people into monsters, even if such sorcery existed, the amount of tremendous power it would require to successfully cast it, was simply not a feat that living beings could accomplish.

But the little girl hesitated, glanced at the Immortal beside her, and did not doubt that what the Immortal said was false.

She was only troubled over how to convince her godmother.

"But godmother, everything I'm saying is true!"

"We can't wait until tomorrow, we have to act tonight. If we delay until tomorrow, we'll all die!"

The little girl looked anxious.

The future as told by the Immortal sounded extremely terrifying to her.

Not only would her two brothers turn into monsters, but even her godmother would become one.

And what's more, after transforming into a monster, her godmother would still have her original memories and come with other monsters to kill her...

To die at the hands of her own family, the very thought of such an end was enough to strike fear.

The little girl looked visibly frightened and distraught, a sight that silenced Tang Mengchen.

The woman furrowed her brows slightly and said, "...But didn't we just agree on a plan? Why are you suddenly saying this now? If the situation is so urgent, why didn't you tell me from the start?"

"Furthermore, how did you come to know this secret?"

"Such a major upheaval is about to occur in the Capital City, yet even the Prince is unaware, and our rebel forces haven't received any news."

"Although I know that the Emperor has indeed turned the Qianwu Guard into monsters, the idea that the Emperor wants to turn the entire city into monsters..."

Tang Mengchen had a puzzled look in her eyes, still finding the matter too fantastical to believe.

Seeing that her godmother was skeptical, the little girl hesitantly glanced at the Immortal beside her, who nodded calmly in response.

"You may disclose my existence to your godmother," Li Muyang said.

After a brief silence, the little girl had no choice but to grit her teeth and tell about the mysterious Immortal who had been secretly aiding her.

Upon hearing that an Immortal had been nearby all along, Tang Mengchen was slightly surprised.

But she couldn't sense Li Muyang's presence.

Only after listening to the little girl recount how she had been saved by the Immortal did Tang Mengchen hesitate for a moment before choosing to believe her.

Indeed, she had considered why their little maid suddenly gained the ability to control puppets.

So it was the Immortal who had been helping in secret...

After careful consideration, Tang Mengchen bowed in the direction of Li Muyang's presence, "I have yet to ask for the esteemed name of the Immortal..."

Li Muyang told the little girl a name, and Nie Yubing's eyes widened immediately.

She quickly shared this name with her godmother.

"Godmother, the Immortal is none other than the legendary Nameless, the one who entered the ancient Grudge Well with Glass Immortal Maiden to confront the Ancient Evil God..."

Upon hearing this name, Tang Mengchen's own eyes widened.

"So it is this esteemed Immortal..."

She bowed again, this time with utmost respect.

Obviously, the Nameless who faced the Ancient Evil God in the ancient Grudge Well and even wrote a chronicle about it, had become a legendary figure in the Tianyuan Continent.

Li Muyang swiftly gained her trust.

Thus, the mission's plan changed on the spot.

Under Li Muyang's insistence, they had to launch a prison break and rescue mission that very night!
