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!]
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

mance] After transmigrating for eighteen years, Lin Qi lived as an utterly ordinary herbalist in the countryside. One day, he kindly brought home a sickly, beautiful girl covered in blood. They married in a flash and began their blissful, intimate life together. Right then, his long-delayed system finally activated. [Warning! Host detected in contact with the "Crimson Calamity," the world-ending witch!] Lin Qi looked at the adorable wife currently curled in his arms, who couldn't even open a jar lid and trembled at the sight of a mouse. Lin Qi: "System, are you insane? This is clearly just a weak and delicate sickly girl!" Thus, Lin Qi treated the system as a "Contrast System," where taking care of his wife made him stronger. Combing his wife's hair rewarded him with [Free Attribute Points]. Taking his wife out for sunshine rewarded him with [Forbidden Spell: Arcane Explosion]. Lin Qi: "This soft life tastes so good!" ... Yet, in the eyes of outsiders: The strongest Beastkin Assassin: "That man dissected a Beast King with a common skinning knife! That was a show of force towards the powerful!" The Holy Son of the Radiant Church: "I infiltrated his home as a tutor, but he had me babysit the children... He must have seen through my disguise!" The World-Ending Witch, Felucia: "I hid all the way in the countryside. How is it that the husband I married on a whim is stronger than I was at my peak?"
