My lady, don't be angry. I'm letting you touch my big tail.

Seeing this, Qiao Yu's eyes darted around, her brain started working at lightning speed, and finally she begged for mercy with reluctance.

Because she had already killed Jozan, she knew there was no turning back.

Faced with such immense pressure, she had no choice but to call for help.

Because she didn't want to die.

At this moment, she didn't hate the Shadow Monster, since the Shadow Monster hadn't made any demands on her.

The shadow monster only strengthened her wavering resolve.

The only person she hated was Joey.

But when he opened his mouth, he uttered those words.

"Yiyi... my dear sister, for the sake of our past as brothers, please don't use the Foundation-Stabilizing Sword... ah!"

Before Qiao Yu could finish speaking, he cried out in surprise.

Because the Foundation-Setting Sword didn't give her time to hesitate, it pierced straight through her abdomen.

That's right, not the chest.

It's the abdomen.

They stabbed Joey in the back then, and today Joey will retaliate.

This wound is quite large, and it may have affected parts of the body such as the heart.

Qiao Yu was pierced directly by the Dingji Sword that fell from the sky, and even the ground beneath him was split in two.

So the only sound echoing throughout the village was Qiao Yu's shout.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"You bastard! What kind of sun god are you! You bastard!"

"You really were ruthless and scheming from the very beginning, from your first life, from the day you saved us! Cough..."

Before she could say more than a few words, blood welled up in her throat, choking her and forcing her to cough.

Qiao Yi then came to Qiao Yu's side and slowly squatted down.

"If I'm not the Sun God, then who is? That Shadow Monster?"

Qiao Yu was panting heavily.

She wanted to beg for mercy, but she seemed to see her fate reflected in her mind.

At the same time, Joey used her consciousness to tell her system.

"Let's take over Yu Yu Tong as well."

"Okay, baby!"

Qiao Yi paused for only a moment, then swiftly drew her knife and plunged it into Qiao Yu's temple.

As Qiao Yu shouted again, Qiao Yi took out the system chip embedded in her soul.

Now Qiao Yu was truly on the verge of death, and Qiao Yi chuckled.

"Did the Shadow Monster come out? Actually, you noticed it yourself; your cries didn't alert the villagers. And the fact that you couldn't get out didn't alert the Shadow Monster either."

Joey took a deep breath.

"I've set up a barrier around the entire village. Until this is over, no one can leave or come in."

"Oh, but of course, your time is up."

Qiao Yu shook his head, trembling.

His eyes were already brimming with tears, which welled up and spilled over.

Only now is she truly experiencing the terror of impending death.

It was a situation where she was no longer in this world, and she could not return to the system world.

Even worse, without the system, her soul didn't know where to go.

What if I end up in a more difficult world, what if I become an even more unfortunate person...

Qiao Yi reached out and patted Qiao Yu's cheek.

He leaned closer and said, "I'll tell you something secretly—only you died, Qiao Zan didn't."

As expected, upon hearing this, Qiao Yu's body convulsed even more violently.

The veins on his neck were bulging.

"He...he's not dead...where is he?!"

But the questions asked went unanswered.

After only a few twitches, Qiao Yu became completely still.

There will be no more insults or struggles, because Qiao Yu is dead.

The system couldn't help but ask, "Baozi, haven't you thought about letting Qiao Yu's soul be scattered? Wouldn't that be better? After all, a soul can go to other worlds."

Joey stated that having nowhere to turn for help is also a form of punishment.

Moreover, Qiao Yu is the kind of person who only knows how to bully others by relying on her own abilities. If she could really go to another world without a system or a heart monster, she would only be in a worse situation.

Once this was explained, the system understood.

It turned around in the consciousness space, and Joey was stunned again.

Good guy.

Not only was Zan Zan Tong being carried in a princess carry in front of her, but now Yu Yu Tong was also being carried on her back.

Guan Yuyu's eyes were glazed over, and he was drooling.

The small face was pressed against the face of its own system.

All that's missing is "Aba aba..."

"Baby, don't worry, I'm connected to them via data. If necessary, I can also free up my hands to handle any data matters for you."

Joey had only one thought: thank goodness all the systems were good-looking.

Otherwise, it's like having a shoulder pain when there's actually a ghost hanging behind you.

I'm about to be possessed.

Yu Yu Tong and Zan Zan Tong are that ghost.

Moreover, there is insufficient light in the consciousness space because my system is always socially anxious, so the room is always dark.

It's even more fitting for the occasion.

Thinking of this, Joey took a step, but suddenly stumbled and had to hold onto her foundation sword to barely stand.

"Baozi!"

"It's nothing... I just used up too much of my yang energy, I need to rest for a while."

She estimated the time.

I think I'll just take a 15-minute break.

After all, floral dyeing is the most important thing right now.

Then there's Hana-ran.

The sudden snowfall aggravated his chest pain, which persisted without relief, feeling like being pricked by needles.

His vision flickered, and he could barely stand.

The baby girl's biological father and several other men and women also walked over, their eyes practically gleaming.

They were all smiling.

Hua Ran covered her eyes with one hand and pulled forward, plunging the entire room into darkness.

Inugami was the first to notice.

"You... used illusion magic?"

"Yes, but because of my chest pain, I couldn't do it completely, so we still have to cooperate with them and make a few noises."

Hua Ran said that now, no one would notice what they were saying or doing.

Illusions actually originate from within.

Fear will intensify, and greed will grow stronger.

"Shadow monsters are good at manipulating people's hearts, so let me try it too... Let that shadow monster taste the pain of being tormented by people's hearts."

After saying that, Hua Ran tightened her grip on her chest.

He staggered and almost lost his footing.

It was Qiao Dawang who came over and helped Hua Ran up.

Hua Ran stopped pretending to be strong.

"Now I will speak less and focus my energy on regulating my breathing. I don't need to worry about the illusions, but you and Inugami will keep an eye on what's happening outside this hut."

Seeing the sweat on Hua Ran's forehead and her furrowed brows, Qiao Dawang knew that Hua Ran must be in great pain to ask others to pay attention to the outside world.

Moreover, his hand pressed against his chest was tightening.

The veins on his neck were still bulging.

Qiao Dawang unconsciously swallowed.

"Fox...you're in this state, and my master hasn't woken up yet. Do we...are we really sure we can win?"

Hua Ran didn't speak, but leaned her whole body against Qiao Dawang, with almost all of her weight on him.

He tried hard to suppress his breathing.

But Qiao Dawang still heard Hua Ran's rapid breathing.

Hua Ran also realized something.

His chest had never been in such pain before.

Is it... is it a hallucination representing the heart? What happened?

The few remaining villagers had already entered the small house.

What they saw was a completely different scene.
