Chapter 368 Getting cocky, no longer taking them seriously.
When Li Muyang finally came out of the room, everyone gathered around him, asking how he was doing and if he was alright.
Li Muyang closed his eyes and slowly shook his head, waving his hand to indicate that he was fine. However, his current half-dead and listless state did not look like he was alright at all.
He slept so soundly! Li Muyang had completely lost all contact with the outside world, and he probably wouldn't wake up even if someone stabbed him in the back.
Of course, the premise is that you have to break through his defenses.
He hasn't even recovered yet! He just hasn't finished dealing with the things that need to be dealt with in his mind! That's why he forced himself to get up.
Seeing Li Muyang's appearance, everyone felt a pang of bitterness. They had all underestimated the danger and difficulty of Li Muyang's seclusion this time, especially Teacher Ji Zi. After all, besides cultivation, Li Muyang's main goal was to help Teacher Ji Zi return home safely.
Thinking about how Old Li had made himself so haggard just to get her home, Teacher Ji wanted to slap herself a few times! She was only thinking about getting home herself! She didn't even care about Li Muyang! So selfish! She's not a good person at all!
If something really happens to Li Muyang because of this, Teacher Ji Zi will truly regret it to death.
Li Muyang's usual carefree and jovial demeanor led those around him to overlook him, generally believing that he would never do anything to cause trouble for himself and that he would avoid any potential danger.
The gentleman does not stand under the wall.
In fact, this incident wasn't entirely Teacher Ji's fault. It was Li Muyang's own stubbornness that got the better of him, and he went against the rules of time and space! He vowed not to leave until he mastered the sect!
The others are minor matters.
Moreover, Li Muyang felt that his journey had been too smooth since the system arrived, and he should increase his intensity! Otherwise, he would be wasting so many resources! He still had responsibilities on his shoulders, and he couldn't be too leisurely.
This is like putting extra pressure on yourself.
Li Muyang didn't waste any words. He simply didn't have the energy. He took out a dozen or so glass-bead-like objects and solemnly handed them to Xiaobai: "Protect these souls well. I'll deal with them after I wake up."
Then he took out a small ball formed from the spacetime tunnel and handed it to Himeko-sensei, saying, "I have locked the spacetime coordinates over there. You can go back anytime you want."
After doing all this, Li Muyang went back to his room to sleep.
The group exchanged bewildered glances. Finally, Xiaobai gathered each soul into its tail to nurture and preserve them. It seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, it's alright. I'm just too tired. I'll be fine after a while. Everyone, don't gather around here. Go and do your own things."
Xiao Bai and Li Muyang have a contract, so everyone reluctantly believed it. Since they couldn't help, and all Li Muyang needed was to rest, everyone had no choice but to leave.
Concern should not be indiscriminate, and good intentions should not lead to unnecessary worry.
Li Muyang is just tired; it's not time for him to die yet!
As for Teacher Himeko, she stared at the time portal in her hand, speechless for a long time. Finally, she gave a wry smile, shook her head, put it away, and went back to work.
She had already taken leave to stay in the small world and hadn't been to work for more than a month, almost two months. If she didn't go back soon, she would really be considered absent without cause. Even if the boss was Li Muyang, he couldn't do that. Miss Miyano Akemi would have a problem with it.
As for returning to Honkai Impact 3rd... Teacher Himeko is no longer in a hurry. She is unwilling to abandon Li Muyang and go back, after all, Old Li has made himself feel like his body has been hollowed out for the sake of this space-time passage.
In particular, Li Muyang had told Himeko that the ending of the Honkai Impact 3rd world was relatively perfect.
Having seen those souls, Himeko realized that even imperfections could now be remedied! Therefore, she wasn't in a hurry to go back.
Li Muyang fell into a deep sleep, and everyone seemed to return to normal life, but they would occasionally come to check on Li Muyang, the Shennong Beast, and the Bodhi Ancient Tree. This situation continued for nearly a month.
The Bodhi tree was the first to return to normal and its original position. The golden cicada was also the first to notice the commotion and notify everyone.
As for Li Muyang and Shennong Beast, the Bodhi Ancient Tree said they should be awake soon. The reason it was the first to wake up was mainly because it was a tree itself! In the space-time tunnel, it was consuming energy while photosynthesizing... well, that means it was still recovering. Therefore, it was in better condition than Li Muyang and Shennong Beast, and it was also helping to protect the two.
But now that it's awake, Li Muyang and the Shennong Beast must be arriving soon too! It's alright.
Sure enough, it had been almost a month since Li Muyang last woke up. The Shennong Beast woke up, and the next day, Li Muyang also successfully woke up!
Actually, from the perspective of cultivators, this period of slumber is nothing. The main problem is that everyone's mindset hasn't adjusted yet, and they're not used to this situation. Li Muyang's long period of slumber is a rare occurrence, which is why everyone seems a bit flustered and lacks experience.
What could Li Muyang say about this? He could only say that everyone genuinely cared about him! And they didn't cause any trouble!
He woke up, but his condition... was still a bit off. Li Muyang was no longer the carefree person he usually was. He seemed to be in deep meditation, in a sage mode, as if he had no desires or thoughts about anything in this world!
Even Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er couldn't tempt Li Muyang!
Everyone (●—●): ……
Li Muyang (￣ー￣): ……
He seemed otherworldly, detached from the mundane world.
"...Mental castration?" Shennong Beast was also bewildered by Li Muyang's current situation and did not understand how this could have happened.
Li Muyang replied calmly and expressionlessly, "I don't know, it's just that I feel like I've lost interest in everything."
Everyone was at a loss; something was definitely wrong! They couldn't just leave it unattended, but they couldn't think of any effective solutions right away, since it wasn't even reacting to Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er this time!
Among the family, Li Muyang had the highest cultivation level. Old Li himself was at a loss, and the others couldn't think of any ideas either, because they didn't know what the right choice was in the face of the current situation!
As for Shennong Beast... to be honest, he can't tell whether Li Muyang's situation is a good thing or a bad thing.
After much deliberation, the group decided to ask for help.
Yes, Li Yunfei, also known as Li's father, has come as summoned.
After learning the whole story, Li Yunfei silently stared at Li Muyang for a long time. Once he was sure that his silly son wasn't faking it, his lips twitched, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.
This appearance was truly unexpected! It's definitely a dark chapter in his life, and Li's father really wanted to take a picture of it.
But considering the worried looks on everyone's faces, Li Yunfei forced back his smile and then seriously analyzed, "It's nothing, it's not a big problem. It's just that while I was in the space-time tunnel, I was comprehending the laws of space-time, and some of my desires were worn down by the years. They'll slowly recover."
"Of course, if you are really worried about him and want to speed up his recovery, I have a suggestion."
"We just need to find a way to break Mu Yang's defenses."
Uh… Everyone was stunned. Break through the defense? How?
Bai Yuxiu frowned and said, "Uncle... but Ling'er and I have both tried, and Mu Yang didn't react..."
Feng Ling'er nodded in agreement: "Yes! Some of the clothes that Old Li wanted us to try on before are no longer effective at all!"
Li Yunfei's lips twitched. This kid's pretty shrewd... *cough cough* Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; if I don't have children and grandchildren, I'll enjoy my blessings!
Having such a group of friends and a beautiful woman is a good thing for this guy, at least he won't be alone on the road to immortality.
This incident clearly shows that Li Muyang is not suited for solitary cultivation at all; if he is not careful, even his sense of self will become weak.
"I have an idea..." Getting back to the point, Li Yunfei felt it was necessary to help Li Muyang return to normal as soon as possible. To put it bluntly, Li Muyang had become arrogant and thought he didn't care anymore! In fact, it was all just his own opinion.
This is normal. The higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the more prone they are to extreme personalities. Li Muyang is simply experiencing a psychological issue due to the influence of the spacetime rules, somewhat like a form of psychological manipulation. The simplest way to resolve this is to banish Li Muyang to the mortal realm! That is, as mentioned earlier:
Break the defense!
How exactly do you break through the defense?
Li Yunfei calmly took out Li Muyang's phone and skillfully opened an app featuring a man with a wicked smile.
Timmy~
Three days later...
"***! The difference in jungle skill is astounding! And you still have the nerve to blame me? Did you even come to support me?"
"Let go of that blue buff! Let me have it! It's only been three minutes and it's already stolen my blue buff?!"
"Mid laner! You f***ing bastard! Not only did you arrive late to help, but you also greedily farmed my minion wave by yourself!"
Everyone was stunned to see Li Muyang, who was red-faced with rage, furious, and spewing profanities.
This... has already broken through my defenses?
Li Yunfei calmly shrugged: "That's normal. I can't help myself when I play with this stuff, so this kid is no different."
Just then, a series of crashes were heard, and Li Muyang smashed the phone to pieces!
Then, activated by the power of the core of truth, a new phone was generated. Li Muyang immediately made a call and began to roar into the other end of the line: "Old Ma! Old Ma! I'm one of your shareholders! Can you please change this damn matchmaking system?! Even with my peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, I can't carry these bastards! Tell me, who can possibly win?!"
"Am I playing a game or is the game playing me?! If you want to experiment with some kind of AI algorithm or something, I'll fill in the gaps for you, okay? But change this lousy matchmaking system! Change it! Change it!"
On the other end of the phone… Ma Huateng blinked in confusion. What was going on? What happened? What did he do?
