The village is called Re Niang Village.

It is currently intact and the atmosphere inside is relatively harmonious.

However, the increasing number of villages being attacked has caused widespread panic among many people.

Even though the villagers are still working hard, their lives seem to be no different from before.

But everyone's worries were written all over their faces; no one could hide them from anyone else.

In recent years, the mortal realm has contributed a large number of people with spiritual roots to the cultivation world.

However, the cultivation world was completely helpless against the Angry Beast and did nothing about it.

This caused many people in the mortal realm to gradually develop a sense of resistance towards cultivators.

In order not to be disliked, Shijin and Yaochi Duoduo had to disguise themselves and pretend to be a couple who had fled from disaster.

At first, Shijin wanted to portray the two as father and daughter, but Maodan disagreed.

It said that this was a perfect opportunity for Shijin to rise to power, and that they should be made to pretend to be a couple.

Hehe, and asked Maodan in return, "Just looking at their appearances, they're more than thirty years apart. Do they look like a married couple?"

In ancient times, she would have been old enough to be Duoduo's grandfather!

But Maodan didn't care and threatened Shijin that if Shijin didn't do as she said, it would never provide her with information about the Angry Beast again.

In the end, Shijin had no choice but to compromise.

Thus, the rough-skinned old tree trunk and the young and beautiful Yaochi Duoduo became the old man and young woman that everyone despised.

Of course, the only thing that gets scorned is the old cow eating young grass.

As for Yaochi Duoduo, who looked still innocent and naive, the villagers of the Nyonya village could only feel pity.

However, this wasn't entirely without its advantages, as it gave Assorted a reason to wear a mask.

When others asked why Yaochi Duoduo, at such a young age, would marry such a forty-year-old man, this was her explanation.

Because when she angered the beasts and slaughtered the village, she happened to get lost while picking mushrooms on the mountain, and it was Shijin who led her down the mountain.

After descending the mountain, the two happened to witness a beast that had enraged the villagers, devoured them, and left the village.

Originally, the Angry Beast discovered Yaochi Duoduo and planned to eat her as well.

Fortunately, Shijin stood in front of her without hesitation and pushed her away.

However, Shijin was dirty and smelly at the time, and the Angry Beast seemed to dislike eating dirty and smelly food, which allowed Shijin to escape with her life.

Why do we say it was lucky? Because the Angry Beast was furious when it discovered that Shijin had let its food go, so it swatted Shijin away with one paw.

The beast's claws were sharp; although Shijin didn't die, most of his face was scratched and mangled.

As a result, he was left with a frightening scar on his face and had to cover his face every day.

It was precisely because he saved Yaochi Duoduo's life twice that Yaochi Duoduo decided to repay his kindness by marrying him.

Everyone:...

She's a bit old, but I never expected it to be such a moving love story!

Assorted: Am I that old?!

The two lay in wait in the village, preparing to strike at the opportune moment. Little did they know that this period of seclusion would last for more than four months.

For some reason, the Angry Beast suddenly disappeared during those four months.

It miraculously did not attack any more villages.

Every day, the two would go to the vicinity of the Nuoer Forest under the pretense of gathering firewood and hunting, to observe the activities within the forest.

But nothing was observed.

Because the Angry Beast is indeed no longer in the forest.

Every evening, the two of them would use their respective channels to inquire about the current state of the cultivation world.

The main purpose was to ensure that no sign of the enraged beast about to massacre the village was missed.

In the second month after the two settled in, another outsider came to the Peranakan village.

The man was tall and thin, looking frail and with plain features.

It is said that the students had gone to the capital to take the imperial examinations, but when they returned home, they found that their home was gone.

Out of desperation, they had no choice but to wander to nearby villages, and that's how they came to Nyonya village.

The student was usually gloomy and quiet, and didn't know how to do any farm work.

So the village chief arranged for him to stay with Shijin and the other two, telling him to first learn how to pick mushrooms, chop wood, and carry water.

He wasn't exactly diligent, but he wasn't a burden either; he simply followed the two of them silently every day.

He picks mushrooms when others do, and he picks firewood when others do.

At first, the two of them were reserved because there was an outsider present, but as time went on, they stopped taking him seriously.

Because he was so quiet, the two of them often completely forgot he was there.

As time went by, Shijin and Yaochi Duoduo's thoughts became more and more in sync, and their actions became more and more harmonious.

To outsiders, they were a perfect couple, perfectly in sync.

In the third month, Mao Dan suddenly sent another message.

That is, it inadvertently discovered that every time the Angry Beast slaughtered a village, the village seemed to be holding a wedding celebration.

This news gave the two of them two different ideas.

Yaochi Duoduo thought that perhaps the two of them could form a fake marriage to lure out the Angry Beast.

Shijin's idea, however, was that she could spread the news, ideally making it known throughout the entire Central Martial Continent.

In this way, as long as no one gets married, wouldn't we no longer be targeted by the Angry Beast?

Because of their differing beliefs, they finally had their first argument that day.

Shijin advised Yaochi Duoduo to correct her attitude and think twice before acting.

We must never endanger the lives of the entire Peranakan village for our own selfish reasons.

But Yaochi Duoduo felt that even without the fake marriage between the two, the Angry Beast might not necessarily let the village go.

And even if it's not this village, it will be another village.

Instead of sitting idly by and waiting, the two of them might as well take the initiative and strike!

However, Shijin firmly disagreed!

She angrily rebuked Yaochi Duoduo for being so hasty and confused, asking her if she should even listen to what she was saying!

Shijin angrily rebuked: "Is this something you should say or should say?"

You're only cultivating immortality, not even an immortal yet, and you've already started treating people like dirt and all living beings like ants?!

If you disregard human life like this, then how are you any different from your master?

What kind of immortal cultivation are you trying to achieve? What kind of path have you entered?! Are you inhumane?!

Yaochi Duoduo was not to be outdone:

"The disappearance of these villages is still under investigation, so how do you know it must be my master!"

If you already believe in your heart that everything was done by your master, then why bother pretending to come with me to the Peranakan village to verify it!

Why bother constantly offering me this hypocritical consolation of anger and provocation?

Shijin retorted angrily:

"What do you mean I came to the Peranakan village with you just to verify something? Did I ever say that the disappearance of these villages was definitely the work of your master?!"

Didn't I also have doubts about the Angry Beast? Or was I wrong to say that your master treated human life like dirt?!

Even if these villages weren't created by your master, none of the disciples you took in have died!

But what about your senior sisters from back then? Have you forgotten how they died?

Have you forgotten that your master abandoned you in the Nurarihyon Forest to die, and that he chased after you along the way?!
