Flesh-Bone Green Robe Was About to Enter the Dream

Ning Wan'er left with her thoughts in turmoil, turning over many things in her mind.

Li Muyang, however, couldn't have cared less about what the girl was thinking.

Although Ning Wan'er had taken the initiative to bring him medicine for his use, changing his opinion of that little green tea somewhat,

he still didn't care all that much.

After Li Muyang returned to the room, he looked at the girl lying unconscious on the bed. Even in her coma, she let out pained whimpers, as if she were suffering terribly. He sighed.

"Which is why I hate socializing..."

If Li Yuechan hadn't shown up, Li Muyang would still be playing games in peace. He wouldn't have to deal with any of this mess.

He hadn't played games in days, and it was driving him nuts.

His cultivation progress had stalled, too. The character EXP bar on his system interface was stuck at [Li Muyang: Qi Refining, Sixth Heaven (39%)] and hadn't budged.

The main reason was that Li Muyang hadn't had any premium spirit rice in days, so he hadn't replenished his spiritual energy.

He walked to the bedside and looked at the unconscious girl's pained profile, then shook his head.

Then he went to the cabinet and took out the bowl of spirit rice stored inside.

Li Muyang poured the premium spirit rice from the bowl into the alchemy cauldron and began to activate it, trying to refine the rice.

Premium spirit rice contained spiritual energy, too, and could be used to refine spirit liquid.

The trouble was, the process was so inefficient it was almost laughable. It was practically a waste.

The best option was to exchange the premium spirit rice for gold, then use the gold to buy spirit herbs.

Li Muyang had asked around about the prices. The money he could get for two jin of premium spirit rice would be more than enough to purge the remaining demonic energy from Li Yuechan's body.

Premium spirit rice really was worth a fortune.

But Cloud City was rather chaotic at the moment. The inner disciples and direct disciples were flying around, and mysterious people were wreaking havoc in the city.

Li Yuechan's unfortunate injury had served as a warning to Li Muyang, who was already cautious by nature. Now he was even less inclined to take risks.

An outer disciple of unknown origins suddenly pulling out two jin of premium spirit rice on the Demonic Dao's turf... It was practically like writing "I'm a walking fat lamb" across his face.

Li Muyang had no intention of taking that risk.

Anyway, the Endless Spirit Rice Jar produced two jin of spirit rice a day. Even if he refined it all, he could still scrape together half a bowl of spirit liquid.

If he kept at it for a few more days, he could eventually cure his cheap little sister.

The Endless Spirit Rice Jar was Li Muyang's greatest source of confidence right now, so he wasn't all that worried.

As for whether Li Yuechan would suffer during those days...

Li Muyang looked at his unconscious cheap little sister on the bed and shook his head. All he could say was that his hands were tied.

We weren't blood siblings—or even siblings at all... After all, Li Muyang was just a wandering soul from another world. In theory, he and Li Yuechan had no connection whatsoever.

What he'd done so far was already an act of humanitarian concern on his part.

And if the girl suffered during these days of delayed treatment, then she could blame Qin Haie.

Speaking of Qin Haie...

After refining all the spirit rice, Li Muyang was just about to rest when he suddenly thought of Qin Haie and opened the system interface.

At the bottom left of his system interface, a little animated bubble was now bobbing.

[Fiendish Evil: Flesh-Bone Green Robe (Waiting to Fall Asleep)]

When he tapped the bubble, a tiny, adorable chibi Flesh-Bone Green Robe appeared, running around in the dark.

The real Flesh-Bone Green Robe looked horrifying beyond words, but as a chibi, it was actually kind of cute.

This interface had appeared once last night, too, but Li Muyang had been exhausted after a full day's work. He'd only glanced at it before going straight to sleep.

Now that he had some free time, Li Muyang took another look at his cheap little sister, still unconscious on the bed, and immersed himself in the system interface.

He watched the Flesh-Bone Green Robe scamper around in the dark bubble, surprised that this system-gifted item even had a status display when cursing someone.

The Endless Spirit Rice Jar and those three Taiyi Light-Splitting Talismans were also items given by the system, but they had no system notifications. It seemed they had left the system the moment they entered reality.

But the Flesh-Bone Green Robe was still inside the system interface, with a little bubble of its own. There was something unusual about this Flesh-Bone Green Robe.

A player's instincts told Li Muyang that it might be even more powerful than he'd imagined.

While he was still studying it, the chibi Flesh-Bone Green Robe suddenly stopped running.

At the same time, the text in the bubble changed.

[Fiendish Evil: Flesh-Bone Green Robe (About to Enter the Dream)]

As the bubble changed, a system prompt appeared.

[Would you like to control the Flesh-Bone Green Robe yourself?]

[Yes / No]

[Selection countdown: 04:44]

Li Muyang blinked at the sudden prompt and the four-minute-forty-four-second countdown.

He could control this thing himself? It wasn't an automatic attack?

He hadn't even noticed last night...

With the countdown ticking away, Li Muyang thought for a moment, then chose [Yes].

He was curious what it meant to control it himself... Could he control the Flesh-Bone Green Robe and kill someone in their dream?

Li Muyang's eyes widened with curiosity.

As soon as he selected [Yes], darkness swallowed him whole.

That same sensation of entering a system dungeon returned.

This time, though, the darkness lasted a long while.

It was a full half-minute before the darkness around Li Muyang receded like the tide.

Pale spirit banners hung over a gloomy graveyard.

Amid the drifting wind, Li Muyang stood tall among the graves and looked ahead.

The headstones and mounds in the graveyard barely reached his knees. They were incredibly small.

Or perhaps...

Li Muyang looked down and saw his own unnaturally long, horrifying lower body, as well as the painted costume of a leading lady that he was wearing.

Beneath the dim light, the brightly colored green robe costume looked strangely terrifying.

He opened his mouth, but all that came out was a sharp, eerie "hiss-hiss" laugh, nothing like the sound of a living person.

In the graveyard ahead, a face twisted with terror stared at Li Muyang, trembling.

"No... don't..."

Elder Qi of the Demon Refining Sect's direct disciple, a prodigy who had reached the Core Formation Realm at a young age, trembled all over in terror.

When she saw Li Muyang, she looked as though she were staring at a vengeful ghost come to claim her life. She wailed loudly.

"Don't come any closer... My master is an elder of the Demon Refining Sect..."

"You can't hurt me! My master won't let you get away with this!"

"Master! Help! Help me!"

The woman's shrill screams rang through the room.

The people standing guard by the bed all wore grim expressions.

"It came as soon as she fell asleep... What a tenacious evil spirit!"

The speaker was Ge Hongshan, an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall whom Elder Qi had invited to lend a hand.

He looked sternly at the unconscious female disciple on the bed, who was crying and begging for mercy, and said, "Elder Qi, don't be alarmed. With the four of us here today, we'll send that evil spirit packing!"

Ge Hongshan was brimming with confidence.

All four people in the room were elders who held power within the Demon Refining Sect. They were highly ranked and exceptionally skilled.

The four of them working together could easily break ordinary curse-killing arts, such as headhunting spells and witchcraft!
