I speedrunned the Fairy Strategy Game

In the dead of night, the moonlight was lonely.

A gentle voice entered the ears of the two people in the room, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.

Inside the room, the two people on the small couch were slightly tense.

Xue Baining frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in her beautiful eyes. She lowered her voice and asked Li Muyu.

"Why is she looking for you so late?"

"Ugh...!"

Li Muyu still had something stuffed in his mouth, so he could only make muffled sounds. He anxiously twisted his body and gestured to Xue Baining to remove the socks.

Xue Baining then realized what was happening, and with a hint of disgust, she stretched out two fingers, pinched the white stocking that still carried her body heat and was slightly damp, pulled it out of Li Muyu's mouth, and casually tossed it to the foot of the bed.

"call……"

Li Muyu took a deep breath, ignoring the strange sensation and faint, cool fragrance lingering on his lips.

He had been focused on suppressing Xue Baining's karmic fire, and then she tied him up to settle scores, so he completely forgot his agreement with his master.

If her master saw her tied to the bed by the leader of the Demonic Sect, her clothes disheveled, let alone whether her master would immediately draw his sword and fight Xue Baining to the death.

Even afterwards, I'm afraid it will take me at least ten days to half a month to coax her back!

"Don't make a sound!"

Li Muyu's mind raced as he tried his best to make his voice sound calm and normal.

"I'll send my master away first."

Outside the door, Pei Yourong waited quietly for a moment. Inside, the room remained deathly silent, with even the sound of breathing barely audible.

Something is not right.

Even if Mu'er was resting due to exhaustion from detoxification, with his cultivation and alertness, he should have woken up by now.

Is he not in the room? Or... has something happened to him?

The thought made her heart tighten. Without further hesitation, she gently placed her hand on the door and was about to push it open.

"Master!"

Li Muyu's voice came from inside the house at just the right time, sounding somewhat sleepy.

"I'm a bit tired today. Removing the curse mark took a lot of effort. How about I make it up to you tomorrow night?"

Pei Yourong's hand, which was resting on the door, paused slightly.

Hearing her apprentice's voice, she felt a sense of relief.

But then, a hint of disappointment, hard to hide, flashed across her mature and beautiful face.

She glanced down at the revealing undergarment she had specially changed into, her fingertips unconsciously brushing against the silky fabric.

I was clearly all prepared.

But then I thought about it again. Mu'er must have exhausted himself today removing the dragon curse mark on Jade Maiden Peak, so it's understandable that he was tired.

As a teacher, I should be considerate and caring; how can I only think about my own little thoughts?

She gently bit her lower lip, suppressing the disappointment and the underlying heat, and her voice returned to its usual gentle and dignified tone.

"It's alright. Since you're tired, you should get some rest tonight."

"I'll head back now."

After saying that, she stood quietly outside the door for a few more breaths, then turned and left without a sound, her voluptuous figure casting a hazy and lonely shadow in the moonlight.

The faint footsteps faded away completely.

Li Muyu's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he let out a soft breath, his back covered in a thin layer of sweat.

"They're finally gone..."

He turned to look at the figure sitting sideways on the edge of the bed and said irritably.

"Master Xue, the show's over. Can you let go of me now?"

Xue Baining seemed not to hear his request. She leaned slightly closer, her beautiful eyes, which shone with an eerie light even in the dim light, asking with a hint of curiosity.

"Make it up to her? Make it up to her what?"

"It's nothing, just fish roe."

Xue Baining raised her eyebrows slightly, her beauty evident; she had never heard of this unfamiliar word before.

"Fish eggs? What are those?"

Li Muyu remained calm and composed, casually making up a story.

"It's a nourishing and beneficial substance that's good for a woman's appearance."

"Does Sect Leader Xue want it too?"

Xue Bai Ning stared at him for a long time. Her intuition told her that this guy was definitely not telling the truth, and those fish eggs were definitely not something legitimate.

"I've told you everything you wanted to know. Now, can you let me go?"

Xue Baining sat up straight again, lazily adjusting her half-open collar. Her gaze swept over the room, and her red lips curved into a smile with a hint of mischief.

"I find your posture quite unique; let's keep you tied up like this."

"I'm a little tired, I'll rest first."

As she spoke, she actually ignored Li Muyu and found a comfortable position on the side of the bed, lay down on her side fully clothed, and even pulled a corner of the thin blanket over herself.

All that was left for Li Muyu was a gracefully curved silhouette.

"Don't make a fuss. If you disturb your good master again, I can't guarantee that next time I'll put a sock in your mouth again."

……

The next morning.

The faint morning light shone through the window paper.

Li Muyu woke up in an extremely awkward position, his limbs constantly feeling sore, numb, and stiff.

He struggled to turn his stiff neck and looked down.

A stunningly beautiful face rested quietly against his chest.

Her delicate skin was like fresh snow in early spring, radiating a cool yet alluring glow. Her nose was straight and elegant, and her rosy lips were luscious and moist. Her breath carried a faint sweet fragrance.

His dark hair, like clouds, spread across his neck, and his breathing was even and long, indicating that he was fast asleep.

If one didn't know that the woman before them was the powerful leader of the demonic path, one would only see the languid posture of this woman nestled in bed, which would indeed resemble that of an ordinary woman lazing in bed.

Seemingly sensing the movement, the beauty in his arms trembled slightly with her long eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes.

Her beautiful eyes shone brightly, still slightly dazed from just waking up, and met Li Muyu's gaze directly.

"woke up?"

Xue Baining didn't respond, but turned her head away, as if she wanted to close her eyes and rest for a while longer.

However, just as she slightly adjusted her posture, she clearly felt something strange in her lower abdomen, pressing tightly against her!

Xue Baining's delicate body stiffened, instantly becoming fully awake. She glanced down, her cold and beautiful cheeks gradually flushing with embarrassment.

"You're asking for it!"

A chilling killing intent, mixed with shame and anger, erupted from her body with a tangible force!

Even with limited cultivation, the terrifying pressure of the peak of the Heavenly Human Realm was by no means ordinary. The air in the entire room seemed to freeze instantly, and the tables, chairs, cups and saucers emitted a faint hum that could not bear the weight, while the window paper shook violently!

Li Muyu was startled by her sudden outburst and said helplessly.

"Master Xue, let's be reasonable!"

"You slept on me all night. I'm a normal man. Isn't that only natural?"

"Besides, you're the one who tied me up, it's not like I came here willingly..."

"Is that just human nature?"

Xue Baining sneered, her beautiful eyes sharp as knives, carrying a condescending and disdainful attitude.

"In that case, I will help you completely solve this problem."

"From now on, you can focus wholeheartedly on your spiritual practice without any distractions."

She twitched her fingertips slightly, condensing a chilling aura, and slowly lowered her gaze to the culprit.

"Anyway, the loss of some insignificant parts shouldn't affect your ability to suppress the karmic fire for me, right?"

Li Muyu felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the cold glint of light at her fingertips, sharp enough to easily cut through metal, and the resolute look in her eyes.

"Xue Baining! Don't do anything rash!"

"Your karmic fire hasn't been extinguished; killing me won't do you any good!"

"Don't worry, I'm just giving you a trim, I didn't say I was going to kill you."

Xue Baining spoke in a calm tone, as if she were pruning flower branches.

At this critical moment.

"Shepherd!"

"Junior brother!"

Two urgent calls came from outside the door. Pei Yourong and her apprentice, startled by the aura Xue Baining had just displayed, rushed over.

Xue Baining frowned, and with a light wave of her hand, the cloud sleeves binding Li Muyu instantly disappeared.

At the same time, a wisp of mist obscured her cold and beautiful face, and the eerie aura unique to the leader of the demonic path instantly vanished without a trace.

creak-

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Pei Yourong and Gu Qingxue arrived together.

But Li Muyu was sitting perfectly fine on the edge of the bed, moving his sore and numb wrists and ankles.

A woman with an ordinary face and simple clothes stood by the bed.

"Mu'er, are you alright?"

Pei Yourong quickly scanned the room but found no signs of a fight as she had expected. However, the chilling pressure she had felt earlier was no illusion.

Her gaze finally settled on Xue Baining, filled with scrutiny and doubt.

"Who is this?"

Li Muyu stood up with a natural expression.

"I'm fine, Master. I just had a slight mishap during my cultivation, which made you all worry."

He turned to the side and pointed to Xue Baining, introducing her.

"This is Wu Wanqing, my...wet nurse."

"They just rushed over from the capital to visit me this morning."

"Wet nurse?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Yourong scrutinized Xue Baining again.

For some reason, despite being an ordinary woman, she felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

But looking at the other person's ordinary appearance, only their figure, which still stood out quite proudly despite their simple clothes, made me wonder if I was just imagining things.

Upon hearing the term "wet nurse," Xue Baining's eyes twitched almost imperceptibly, her fingertips tightened slightly, and a cold killing intent flashed deep within her beautiful eyes.

But she quickly suppressed it, simply standing there expressionless, showing no reaction to Pei Yourong's scrutinizing gaze, and not even bothering with a polite nod.

Seeing this, Li Muyu coughed lightly, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"Master, please don't be offended. Aunt Wu has a bad temper and doesn't like to interact with people."

Seeing that the other party did not seem to have any ill intentions, and that she was Mu'er's wet nurse, Pei Yourong nodded slightly and softened her tone.

"I see. Since she is Mu'er's wet nurse, she is a guest of my Nainai Peak."

"I am Mu'er's master, and this lady beside me is my eldest disciple, Gu Qingxue."

She glanced at the silent woman and adopted a amiable attitude.

"You must be tired from your long journey. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask."

Xue Baining remained silent, only slightly turning her gaze away, as if she were not interested in anything in front of her.

Gu Qingxue hadn't said a word since she entered the room; her clear eyes were fixed intently on Xue Baining's chest.

wet nurse?

She suddenly realized, no wonder...

It looked quite large; although it was covered by simple clothes, its outline was almost as big as its master's.

She subconsciously looked down at herself, then quietly compared her master with that Aunt Wu. Her face was expressionless, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Pei Yourong asked Li Muyu a few more questions with concern, and after confirming that he was alright, she left with Gu Qingxue.

The door closed again.

Almost the instant the door closed, the chill that Xue Baining had deliberately concealed resurfaced.

She turned around, her plain face, disguised, revealed little emotion, but her eyes were sharp as knives, piercing Li Muyu.

"A wet nurse?!"

Her voice was low, yet carried a hint of coldness.

"Li Muyu, you had better give me a reasonable explanation!"

Li Muyu rubbed his numb arm, walked to the table, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and said slowly.

"Does this even need explaining? Great Master Xue, look down at your current state."

He looked her up and down, his gaze lingering for a moment on her somewhat rigid face after her disguise.

"At her age, with a plain appearance and only a decent figure, what else could she be but a wet nurse or a distant aunt?"

"I can't exactly say you're my confidante, can I? Someone has to believe that."

Xue Baining was speechless for a moment. She looked down at her coarse cloth dress and then thought of her appearance. She couldn't refute him for a moment.

She chose to disguise herself like this in order to reduce her presence and avoid attracting attention.

I never expected to be given such an infuriating identity!

"snort!"

She snorted coldly, barely accepting the situation, but she still felt resentful.

……

After a quick wash, Li Muyu prepared to go to the Enforcement Hall for his roll call.

Xue Baining was unfamiliar with the place and people in the Southern Immortal Sect, and did not want to be with Pei Yourong, so she simply went along with her.

"Let's agree on this beforehand."

Li Muyu whispered instructions as he walked.

"You can come with me, but you have to listen to me."

"The Enforcement Hall is crowded and full of eyes. Your current identity is that of my wet nurse, so be careful with your behavior and don't give yourself away."

"Especially my master, she is very thoughtful, so you should try to have as little contact with her as possible."

Xue Baining glanced at him, didn't respond, but continued to follow.

Upon arriving at the Hall of Enforcement, everyone was curious to see Li Muyu accompanied by a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face and a cold demeanor.

According to Li Muyu, she was his wet nurse who had taken care of him since he was a child, and she had come from afar to visit him.

The crowd immediately became polite and respectful, and greeted them warmly.

Ji Yudie stepped forward gracefully, bowed, and said softly.

"Greetings, Aunt Wu. I am Ji Yudie, a fellow Daoist of Li Muyu..."

Xue Baining merely nodded slightly in response, not even bothering to twitch her lips.

Having long held a high position, she was used to being respected and served. Even though she tried to restrain herself, the aloofness she inadvertently revealed still made the perceptive Ji Yudie notice something amiss.

This Aunt Wu seemed a bit strange. Even though she came from a royal family, her arrogant and aloof attitude was still somewhat unsettling.

Ji Yudie was puzzled, but still wore a gentle smile, trying to get closer to him.

"Aunt Wu, I heard you're from the capital?"

"You must be tired from your journey. If there's anything you're not used to..."

"Aunt Wu?"

Xue Baining suddenly interrupted her, her brows furrowing almost imperceptibly, as if she was extremely dissatisfied with the form of address.

Ji Yudie was taken aback and looked at Li Muyu somewhat helplessly, wondering what she had said wrong.

This wet nurse had a rather peculiar temperament.

Just then, Ma Zouri hurriedly came in from outside.

"Brother Yu! Something terrible has happened!"

"Yun Yi has emerged from seclusion! He's in the front courtyard now, specifically requesting to see you!"

"Yunyi?"

Li Muyu raised an eyebrow.

This top-ranked individual on the Sky Ranking, the number one among the younger generation of the Southern Immortal Sect, is said to have already reached the threshold of the fourth realm.

I have no connection with him at all. Why is he coming to me? Is he here to cause trouble?

"Okay, I'll be right there."

He turned to look at Ji Yudie.

"Keep an eye on her for me, I'll go see what's wrong."

After Li Muyu left.

Xue Baining found it rather boring staying in the room, and the curious glances that Ji Yudie occasionally cast at her made her quite uncomfortable.

He then got up and left the house, wandering around the courtyard for a while.

The Southern Immortal Sect is a tranquil and spiritually vibrant place, a stark contrast to the Jade Void Palace.

As she strolled into a secluded courtyard filled with pale pink flowers, she encountered a familiar figure.

Pei Yourong was carrying a food box; she had just made some candied fruits and pastries and brought them to the Law Enforcement Hall for Li Muyu to try.

The two met unexpectedly in the courtyard.

Pei Yourong stopped and her gaze fell on Xue Baining.

The fleeting glimpse I had just caught in the room left a lingering sense of familiarity. Now, looking at it up close, that feeling has not only not dissipated, but has become even clearer.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask.

"Have we... met somewhere before?"
