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

Chapter 236: I Don’t Like Jokes

Outside Wuliu Lane, the cold killing intent and furious, agitated blood-drenched Demonic Qi converged, seemingly ushering in a Shura battleground.

Yet, facing the group of frenzied half-demons, Ruan Mei showed no fear.

She indifferently looked at Xie Shanhai and the dense, dark red sea in the darkness, her cold voice ringing out.

"I said, the Enforcement Hall acts according to the law."

"If you have any objections, you may go see the Sect Hierarch and propose them yourself."

"As for these Liehai Hall disciples who have trespassed and defied the law..."

Ruan Mei glanced behind at the Alley of Sin, saying, "Those who are still alive, considering they have not yet erred, you may take them away for strict discipline."

"As long as your Liehai Hall doesn’t violate the sect rules, our Enforcement Hall won’t create trouble without reason."

Faced with the dire, potentially uncontrollable riotous situation, Ruan Mei’s attitude remained resolutely firm.

Such a stance not only made Xie Shanhai’s expression grow increasingly somber.

Li Muyang, amidst the crowd, was also rendered speechless.

Ruan Mei’s reaction had caught him off guard.

Normally, facing such a situation, Ruan Mei would likely opt to smooth things over, reprimand Li Muyang to placate the half-demons of Liehai Hall present, and let each side take equal blame to gloss over the incident.

That would be the expected behavior of the captain of the Enforcement Hall.

It’s surely not possible that she would truly lead over a hundred Enforcement disciples to fight a bloody battle with the half-demons of Liehai Hall in Tianjiao City, right?

If such chaos were to break out, afterwards not only would Xie Shanhai suffer, but she, Ruan Mei, along with the entire Enforcement Hall, would definitely be punished by the Sect Hierarch.

Li Muyang had already prepared himself to be scolded in front of everyone by Ruan Mei, to be humiliated.

Liehai Hall had brought so many people today merely to embarrass him, Li Muyang, right?

But Li Muyang had not expected that Ruan Mei would actually stand so firmly by his side, staunchly supporting him to the bitter end, even if it meant launching a full-scale war with Liehai Hall.

At that moment, Li Muyang sighed, closed his eyes.

This Aunt Mei and Shen Yan were indeed unquestionable in their support...

Outside Wuliu Lane, Li Muyang remained silent.

While Xie Shanhai’s face continuously shifted between different expressions, he ultimately did not lead the half-demons charging forward.

Instead, he cracked a grin, sneered, "Good! Very good! Sister Mei is so tough! Such a backbone! Truly worthy of being the young lady’s confidante."

"Liehai Hall accepts defeat today!"

With a ferocious expression, Xie Shanhai said, glancing at the dozen or so half-demons in Wuliu Lane.

All of the half-demons, including Shi Maocai, were injured, looking pitiful indeed.

But at least they had not been killed.

Xie Shanhai, with a cold voice, said, "I can take these brothers of mine back for discipline."

"But they are too heavily injured to walk."

"Let Master Li help them come out."

"Since this Master Li injured them, now let Li Muyang help them out... that’s not too much to ask, right?"

"Just let Li Muyang help them out, and I’ll immediately take these brothers and leave! I won’t make things difficult for Sister Mei!"

Xie Shanhai’s sinister gaze fixated tightly on Li Muyang.

Even if they couldn’t kill this Demon Sect whelp today, they would still disgrace him!

Ruan Mei, her gaze solemn, was about to speak.

But behind her, Li Muyang suddenly nodded, "It’s possible."

The Li Muyang who had been stubborn to the end since earlier, not retreating an inch even if Ruan Mei had come to accuse him, now suddenly gave in.

This development caused the half-demons of Liehai Hall to burst into loud, mocking laughter.

"Thought he was a tough guy, but turns out he’s a coward!"

"The Demon Sect’s runt, both cowardly and despicable!"

"Despicable breed!"

"Coward!"

"Hahahaha..."

In the midst of the half-demons’ jeering, the disciples of the Enforcement Hall clenched the blades in their hands tightly, their faces turning red with humiliation.

Bu Hongsheng and Liu Fu by Li Muyang’s side clenched their teeth even harder, their eyes bloodshot.

Li Muyang, however, lacked such complex emotions; he simply looked towards Ruan Mei, and then, under her complicated gaze, turned and walked towards the dozen half-demons inside Wuliu Lane.

Under the watchful eyes of all, Li Muyang tossed aside the steel knife in his hand, donning a blood-soaked garment, and walked expressionlessly into Wuliu Lane. Find more chapters on empire

The moment this terrifying, blood-drenched figure stepped inside, the dozen half-demons inside unconsciously stepped back, slightly timorous, their past fear rekindled.

But seeing the dense crowd of their Liehai Hall brothers outside the alley, they regained some courage and glared angrily at Li Muyang.

Li Muyang, however, looked indifferent, completely ignoring the half-demons’ glares.

He calmly bent down and one by one helped these half-demons out of Wuliu Lane.

Each time he helped a half-demon out of Wuliu Lane, the half-demons outside exploded with shrill sounds of triumphant cheers and mocking jeers.

"Hahahaha!!"

"Demon Sect scum!"

The mocking and jeering of the half-demons caused the faces of the hundreds of Enforcement Hall disciples to flush red with humiliation.

Each disciple of the Enforcement Hall clenched their blades tightly, their bodies trembling.

In the midst of cheers and laughter, Ruan Mei’s gaze grew chillingly cold as well.

Xie Shanhai, on the other hand, stood contentedly at the forefront of the crowd, watching Li Muyang assist each half-demon out of the Willow Alley.

Until the last one, who Li Muyang helped out, was none other than Shi Maocai.

This half-demon, who Li Muyang had slashed to the brink of despair, now walked out assisted by Li Muyang, oblivious to the earlier humiliation amidst the cheers, the approving smiles of his brother and the leader.

At this moment, Shi Maocai seemed to have become a hero.

He proudly puffed up his chest, haughty and arrogant, letting Li Muyang support him.

When they stepped out of Willow Alley, the crowd erupted with the most enthusiastic cheers.

All the half-demons shouted his name.

Listening to those fervent and excited cheers, Shi Maocai felt glorified by association.

His face finally sported a smile.

His grinning mouth squeezed out a triumphant laugh.

"I’ve told you, it’s not your place to run wild in Tianjiao City," he sneered at Li Muyang as they walked past the circle of Enforcement Hall Disciples.

"Demon Sect brat, today is just the beginning."

"Once I’ve recovered from my injuries, I will return to the Crime Alley."

"You claim to uphold justice, right? Next time I’ll kill those two wretched women first, then defile their corpses."

"With them dead, let’s see how you uphold justice."

"Oh, and those two lackeys of yours... Liu Fu and Bu Hongshen, right?"

"I’ve checked their backgrounds, just mortals who recently joined our sect, and you promoted these pups to be your lackeys exceptionally."

"They are so loyal to you; I will surely repay them well."

In front of the hulking Xie Haishan, Shi Maocai, fully satisfied, watched Li Muyang release him, indifferent to his continued provocations.

Smirking, he said, "I will be visiting them regularly to see if their bones are as soft as yours!"

Having said that, Shi Maocai already envisioned that satisfying scene, laughing triumphantly.

His brother, Shi Maosen, walked up cheerfully and playfully slapped his shoulder.

"You rascal, what are you saying in front of Mr. Li?"

Shi Maosen, beaming, drew his brother close and spoke amiably to Li Muyang.

"My silly brother spouted some nonsense and joked with Mr. Li. Please don’t mind him... Hahaha..."

The triumphant laughter rang out beyond Willow Alley, merging into a sea of mirth.

At this moment, they had finally triumphed completely, forcing the Enforcement Hall and Li Muyang, that Demon Sect whelp, into the mud beyond redemption, trampling him ten thousand times over.

From tomorrow on, the entire Tianjiao City would buzz with talk of this incident.

All disciples of the sect would give their Liehai Hall thumbs up.

And the name Shi Maocai would become a hero revered by everyone.

Among laughter, Shi Maocai, embraced by his brother, walked towards their own men, the laughter resounding thunderously.

At this point, everything had concluded indeed.

The haughty whelp of the Demon Sect, by the end of tonight, would no longer have the capital to be arrogant.

—Or so it should have been.

Amidst the laughter of the Liehai Hall half-demons and the brothers’ triumphant laughter, suddenly, Li Muyang’s indifferent whisper cut through the night.

"Shi Maocai..."

His voice, rising amidst the sea of laughter, crisp and clear, reached the Shi brothers’ ears.

The brothers, who were about to leave, paused, surprised.

At this point, did this Demon Sect brat still intend to utter some harsh words to salvage his face?

The brothers exchanged a smile, simultaneously entertaining the thought of further humiliating this fool.

They turned around simultaneously.

"Li..."

However, Shi Maocai’s triumphant laughter had just begun when it froze.

A dazzling and icy blade light, like a ribbon under the moonlight, swept across, instantly drowning the smiling Shi Maocai.

This hero of Liehai Hall, this delighted half-demon, hadn’t even lost his smile when his head flew into the air.

Violent blood gushed like a fountain from the neck of the headless corpse, spurting high into the night sky.

The ongoing laughter outside Willow Alley, like a flock of ducks suddenly choked, stopped abruptly.

The entire street, previously roaring with laughter, plunged into shocked and outraged silence.

Countless pairs of blood-red, frenzied eyes fixed on the blood-soaked Li Muyang.

The murderous rage in the air seemed to condense into substance at that moment.

Yet, faced with these maddened half-demons, Li Muyang under the moonlight merely flicked the fresh blood off his blade, lightly shaking the blade’s edge, and said indifferently.

"I don’t like jokes."

The cold blade slowly raised, aimed at all the half-demons in front.

The man under the moonlight, alone with his blade, facing hundreds of agitated, angry beast eyes, calmly said.

"You had better not like them either."
