YM778.TV Chapter 82
The wheel, exuding a cold aura, transformed into a black light and slashed at the Shape-shifter Master.
The Shape-shifter Master had just completed its transformation when it was struck by the wheel. It struggled to move its neck, dodging the attack, but its face was still grazed by the wheel, leaving a gash that bled profusely.
【Shape-shifter Master: Damn you Jiang Xiaoyu!】
The Shape-shifter Master howled in pain, and its health bar dropped a little.
Although the damage was not great, Li Muyang’s attack had indeed hurt him.
All he needed to do was to deplete his health bar, and then he would be defeated.
Seeing this, Li Muyang smirked.
Since it’s a game and there’s a health bar, then it’s easy to handle.Not to mention a mere Shape-shifter Master, if it’s in games, even the gods can be slayed as long as there’s a health bar!
Li Muyang controlled the spinning wheel and, together with two half-demons, charged at the Shape-shifter Master ahead.
…….
“Yuechan, we’ll arrive at Demon Sword City tomorrow, why do you look so worried?”
In a boudoir filled with a faint fragrance, Ning Wan’er asked curiously.
This was Ning Wan’er’s room, also on the flying boat. However, compared to the large dormitory where the outer disciples slept, Ning Wan’er’s room was practically a presidential suite.
The room was filled with the scent of sandalwood incense.
The maid had cleaned the room spotlessly, and even the floor was so clean and smooth that one could lie down on it directly.
Half an hour earlier, after Ning Wan’er had finished her tasks and her cultivation, she had sent a maid to invite Li Yuechan.
Being in the Demon Refining Sect and becoming a direct disciple, she had achieved a leap in status, but Ning Wan’er felt more isolated.
The status of a direct disciple was too prominent. There were only a few under each elder, and even inner disciples had to greet her with caution.
The gap in status was too great for close friendships.
As for the other direct disciples, who were her seniors, they were her competitors, making it even less likely for her to form close bonds.
To Ning Wan’er’s surprise, she found that the only person she could talk to intimately was Li Yuechan, a fellow townsman from Jiuyuan City.
Therefore, on this trip, she specifically brought along the Li siblings, and almost every day she had her maid invite Li Yuechan to talk with her.
The two girls often chatted until late into the night and then went to bed together.
Although young, Miss Li from the Li Family was impeccable in her conduct and very comfortable to be around.
But tonight, Ning Wan’er noticed that the usually cheerful Li Yuechan seemed to be troubled by something.
After the two finished talking about the legends of Demon Sword City, Ning Wan’er brought up the matter out of curiosity.
She had a vague worry in her heart.
–Could it be that the other direct disciples were retaliating against Li Yuechan for being close to her?
But then Li Yuechan sighed and said, “It’s nothing too serious…”
Li Yuechan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ning Wan’er and finally spoke out.
“Sister Ning, what do you think of my brother now?”
Li Yuechan’s question seemed out of the blue.
Ning Wan’er was taken aback, thinking that Li Yuechan was probing on behalf of her brother.
She suddenly understood.
Hmph… this Li Muyang, pretending to be so upright and uninterested in me, is actually using his sister to sound me out?
He’s just pretending to be uninterested in me!
Ning Wan’er felt a sense of “just as I thought” in her heart.
She smiled slightly, feeling somewhat happy as if she had won over someone.
“Your brother…”
Ning Wan’er chose her words carefully and said with a smile: “Your brother has become stable and mature, rational and reliable. After coming to the Demon Refining Sect, he has indeed changed a lot and is now standing out among his peers.”
Ning Wan’er gave a positive evaluation.
She was curious to see if Li Muyang would regain his confidence and resume his pursuit from their days in Jiuyuan City after hearing her praise.
However, after she gave a positive evaluation, Li Yuechan did not seem pleased and still looked worried.
“Yes, my brother has become mature and stable, rational and reliable.”
“And he doesn’t like you anymore, Sister Ning.”
Li Yuechan sighed bitterly and said, “Now, he seems to prefer sticking with handsome young boys.”
“That Guan Xiaoshun, he’s very close to him…”
Li Yuechan’s words made Ning Wan’er pause.
She didn’t understand at first.
“Uh… he and Guan Xiaoshun…”
She knew that the boy from the border town was Li Muyang’s good friend, which is why she had brought him along this time.
But…
Ning Wan’er looked at Li Yuechan in surprise, and the two girls stared at each other in silence for a while.
Seeing Li Yuechan’s bitter expression and furrowed brows, Ning Wan’er’s mouth slowly opened.
“No…
Li Muyang started liking men?!
Is that what the little sister from the Li Family meant?
Ning Wan’er was dumbfounded.
Li Yuechan shook her head in distress and said, “It’s not certain yet, but I think there’s a chance…”
Li Yuechan recounted the events of the past few days.
This included how her brother, while at the Outer Sect, showed no interest in women, barely giving a second glance to the brothels, and how he never spoke to other outer disciples on the flying boat, either disappearing during the day or spending time with Guan Xiaoshun.
Even their beds were next to each other.
“This…”
The more Ning Wan’er listened to Li Yuechan, the more shocked her expression became.
“Li Muyang likes men…”
It was as frightening as a ghost story, but the more Li Yuechan spoke, the more it seemed to make sense!
After all, this guy had been madly pursuing adoring her her before and now he had no interest in her at all.
Such an abrupt change was like he had become a different person.
But if he now liked men, then everything seemed to make sense.
To develop a liking for men after just two months away from home…
At this moment, Ning Wan’er suddenly felt guilty.
Could it be that Li Muyang was so deeply hurt by her that he was driven to like men as a result?
Hesitating, she looked at Li Yuechan and asked, “So… what do we do? Should we test him?”
Li Yuechan looked puzzled: “Ah? How do we test him?”
Ning Wan’er suggested, “My maid Xiaodie is quite pretty. Should I have her offer herself to your brother to see if he’s tempted?”
If he’s tempted by the maid, then he definitely doesn’t like men.
But Li Yuechan hesitated for a moment and shook her head, “…Xiaodie is indeed pretty, but compared to the women in the Outer Sect brothels, she doesn’t have much of an advantage, and none of those women could tempt my brother…”
Li Yuechan shook her head and added, “Besides, we can’t let this get out. If it does, it would be bad for my brother’s reputation.”
The two girls fell silent again.
“What do we do now…”
It’s not like we can test him ourselves, right?
Ning Wan’er and Li Yuechan stared at each other, and the room fell silent for a moment.
