As a regular visitor of Zhong Yi's group of four, Lu Ze naturally had all the livestream permissions enabled.
At this moment, quite a few onlookers from the sect had gathered in Zhou Qiaoling's world.
[Where is this? A village?]
[Wow, Old Demon Lu’s world is surprisingly well-built.]
[Given the previous illusion’s difficulty, these villagers are probably all demonic cultivators…]
[The villagers’ houses look way better than Senior Brother Zhong’s constructions.]
...
A few villagers chatting at the village entrance glanced at Zhou Qiaoling as she emerged from the ground, then went back to their conversation.
They didn’t seem hostile.
This put Zhou Qiaoling at ease.
"Wow!! Wheat fields… and they even raise livestock!"
Zhou Qiaoling’s eyes sparkled as she gazed at the farmland and pastures nearby.
She felt like she hadn’t just arrived at some village—she’d stumbled upon a treasure trove!
"Hey, neighbor! Neighbor?"
Zhou Qiaoling stepped forward, trying to greet them.
The villagers gave her a puzzled look before turning away to mind their own business.
"Oh, so they’re mute…"
Zhou Qiaoling mused, then suddenly grinned mischievously.
Without looking back, she dashed straight toward the farmland and pastures at the end of the path.
"Your wheat fell on the ground—mind if I harvest it for you?"
She cleared her throat and announced loudly.
No one responded.
"Since I’m cutting your wheat for you, taking one little chick as payment isn’t too much to ask, right??"
She raised her voice again.
A passing villager glanced at her before hurrying away.
"No answer means you agree~~"
Zhou Qiaoling cheerfully punched a small white chicken a few times.
The chick instantly turned into raw chicken meat.
Without hesitation, she stuffed it into her mouth.
The raw meat didn’t restore much hunger, and her health remained low.
Now, she set her sights on a nearby piglet.
"Gulp~"
Zhou Qiaoling swallowed hard as she eyed the pink little pig.
The cultivators in this world were still too new to gaming, unable to shake off their sense of shame just yet.
She opened the fence gate, walked in, and deliberately bumped into the piglet.
"Ouch!! Your pig just rammed into me—it nearly took my last bit of health! I’ll have to punish this wild beast now, no objections, right??"
Zhou Qiaoling put on another theatrical performance.
Still, no one answered.
"Ah, the neighbors here are all reasonable folks—silence means consent…"
With a clear conscience, she swung her blade, and pork was promptly added to her inventory.
The livestream chat couldn’t hold back anymore.
[Bullying mute villagers, are we?]
[Have some decency.]
[This feels… against our ancestors’ teachings…]
[Eh, it’s fine. These villagers have no intelligence—they’re just NPCs anyway.]
...
"Ugh, raw meat barely fills me up. I need to craft a furnace to cook it."
Just as Zhou Qiaoling was about to set up a furnace on the spot, she noticed a villager stepping out of a house across the path.
Her sharp eyes immediately spotted a furnace inside.
"Neighbor, we’re all friends here—mind if I borrow your furnace?~"
Zhou Qiaoling beamed and hurried into the house.
Upon entering, she was stunned to find not just a furnace but also a treasure chest.
As if possessed, she walked up to the chest and opened it.
Her eyes nearly popped out at the sight of a full set of iron gear and five iron ingots inside.
At this point, any sense of righteous morality or the Lingxiao Sect’s discipline flew out the window.
"I’m rich, I’m rich~~"
Zhou Qiaoling stuffed everything into her backpack—even breaking the chest itself to take it along.
The livestream chat completely lost it.
[Junior Sister Zhou, we’re a righteous sect!!]
[What kind of demonic behavior is this??]
[...But it’s kinda satisfying.]
[Did a demonic cultivator just raid the village??]
[You can’t just take everything for free!]
[If you borrow something, return it—that’s how you keep borrowing!]
...
"Hmm, fair point."
After reading the chat, Zhou Qiaoling pondered for a moment before rummaging through her backpack.
She then placed a single piece of cobblestone where the chest had been.
"Neighbor, your chest got hit by a petrification spell! I’ll undo it once I ascend to immortality!"
With a cheeky wave to the villager outside, she excitedly opened the team voice chat to announce her windfall to the other three.
"Senior Brother, Big Bro, get over here!! I found a village full of amazing loot!! I’m loaded now!!!"
Zhou Yue couldn’t help but ask, "Villagers? They’re not attacking you?"
"Nope! They’re super generous—they give me everything! My backpack’s literally full!"
Zhou Qiaoling replied without a hint of shame.
The chat erupted in disbelief.
[Generous?? Are you sure???]
[Redefining ‘generous’ over here.]
[Only Old Demon Lu’s illusions could corrupt our morals like this!]
[Villagers: Stay away from us!!]
[Came here thinking the villagers were demons—turns out we’re the demons.]
...
Reassured by Zhou Qiaoling’s answer, Zhou Yue finally stepped out from behind the bushes where he’d been hiding.
"So these are just villagers? And they’re friendly?"
Zhou Yue sighed in relief and swaggered into the open.
"Hey there, neighbor~~"
He waved at a nearby "villager" dressed in black robes.
"Take me to your village, will ya? My friend’s waiting for me there!"
The illusion world’s technical prowess was impressive.
Zhou Yue’s dopey grin was perfectly rendered on his pixelated character’s face.
The response? Two purple-tipped arrows.
"..."
His smile froze.
"What the—?? Aren’t villagers supposed to be allies???"
Zhou Yue panicked and quickly asked in the team chat:
"Little Sis, are the villagers’ faces black?"
"Of course not! What, you think they look like you?"
"???"
Zhou Yue tried to fight back, but his opponents were armed with enchanted crossbows!
Even the arrows hitting him carried a poison effect!
His movements slowed to a crawl.
The ones at the back were holding talismans, faint traces of basic formations flickering around them.
Zhou Yue’s lips twitched violently:
"This illusion is rigged!!!"
[“Unbreakable Resolve” was slain by demonic guards!]
villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er. As expected, he later becomes a tool for the main character to show off and slap faces, ultimately meeting a tragic end with his family ruined and his life in shambles. Fortunately, he awakens the [Universal Pure Love System], which allows him to earn points by performing acts of pure love. To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying! (Stubborn pure love warrior + single female lead + true pure love + 1v1)
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
