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

Upon hearing this, Joey's heart tightened immediately.

The system in the consciousness space kept banging on the table.

"Same! Baby, same!"

"Yes...this further confirms that those illusions were telling the truth."

But Qiao Yi never intended to tell Hua Ran about it.

Because of her physical disability, Hua Ran had lost her previous memories and told him that it would only cause more trouble.

Joey took a deep breath and returned to the village with Hua Ran.

They returned quietly because Inugami didn't want to cause trouble and had already concealed himself. Joey and Hanazon disappeared again, and now most people in the village thought they had taken the opportunity to escape.

A middle-aged woman said, "Could they have sensed something? Hey, the family at the village entrance, you didn't let your daughter's death give away your plans, making them realize the danger and run away, did you?"

Even the hard-of-hearing old lady could hear the loud voice.

She replied, "My daughter died, and they said they couldn't find the cause. Why should I care about your business?"

An old man, the guy who blushes when he sees Joey.

He chimed in.

"You're not going to do anything? You got a good share of the spoils from those outsiders! And then you quit halfway through, and even advised your daughter not to do it. What do you mean by that?"

"Have you stockpiled enough fine grains and are you planning to cross mountains and valleys to report us to the authorities?"

The hard-of-hearing old lady simply ignored her and went back into her house.

It seems that her daughter's death has been a huge blow to her, making her unwilling to participate in anything anymore.

At this moment, the old man and the middle-aged woman said, "Come on, men and women. Leave the women to me. I want to marry her and make her my wife. You keep the men. Distribute the clothes, money, and fine food to those who help us. Don't go after that old hag!"

The middle-aged woman muttered to herself, "But she lives at the village entrance, so she's the first to contact any outsiders who come in. If she tells them there's something wrong with this village, then we won't get anything out of it."

The old man squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the hard-of-hearing old woman.

He said, "How about... we take her too..."

The other one immediately understood.

"Anyway, she's the only one left in her family. It's normal for our village to be one or two people shorter, isn't it?"

The two nodded to each other.

Unbeknownst to them, Qiao Yi and Hua Ran were standing right beside them.

The two used invisibility magic.

They could even see their disgusted expressions clearly.

Joey said, "Since they want to kill us, why not turn the tables on them? Some people will age rapidly and die due to evil, and a large amount of Yin energy will disappear. Let's see what the monster behind them does."

Hua Ran then looked at the old man.

A glint of light flashed in her foxy, alluring eyes.

In the early morning, there was a noticeable noise coming from the house of the hard-of-hearing old lady.

The old woman thought her daughter had come back to life, so she walked and bumped into things, dragging a chair along the floor with a screeching sound.

"My daughter... my daughter!"

When they got to the house, they found Qiao Yi, Hua Ran, and a young man with black hair and braids.

"you……"

"Grandma, we went to scout out the area before, and we came back this morning. We'll stay another day and leave tomorrow."

The old woman's mouth was slightly open, and her eyes showed a look of pain.

"You've come back... Do the people outside know?"

Joey nodded, "Grandma, we're not invisible. Of course everyone in the village knows we're back. I even greeted them."

"Greetings... You, you mustn't linger, hurry up, hurry up!"

The old woman said this as she pushed Joey.

Just then, someone came in from outside.

An old man, a middle-aged woman, and several elderly women were with them.

As they helped her up, Joey rolled her eyes. Didn't they know that her legs were completely unresponsive?

The old man held a teacup in his hand, a smile on his face, and blushed, as if he thought he was a young man.

He said, "Miss Qiao, please have some tea."

A middle-aged woman standing nearby handed a plate of snacks to Hanazono and Inugami.

"Young masters, have some snacks that men usually enjoy."

Inugami took it and sniffed it, and knew there was something inside.

The group of visitors were already watching them.

On the contrary, the hard-of-hearing old lady kept winking at Qiao Yi.

The faces of those who came in at this moment were aging rapidly.

Joey made a "drinking" gesture, and the faces of those people looked even older.

Joey put the cup down again and blew on it.

"It's a little hot."

The system laughed loudly in Joey's consciousness space.

"Baozi, you're so naughty. If you keep teasing them like this, they'll die of old age in no time."

The hard-of-hearing old woman whispered, "You can't drink it! This village is strange. Haven't you noticed? Every time we're exhausted, it's after we've done something bad!"

The middle-aged woman angrily rebuked the old woman, "I knew you would ruin things, that's why we brought so many people with us. I don't believe that so many of us can't handle a few of you. We are all strong women here!"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she clutched her heart and slowly collapsed.

The old man was so frail that he was completely hunched over, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he was clutching his chest, desperately trying to breathe.

Joey then smiled and splashed the water directly in front of them.

"When people get old, they will die."

People who initially had no symptoms all wanted to pick up chairs and hit Joey, but they all stopped in front of Joey, either falling to the ground immediately or suffering from pain all over their bodies.

Hua Ran, who had taken advantage of the chaos to pull the old man to the backyard, now revealed a terrifying expression.

His wrists, though seemingly slender, were surprisingly strong; no matter how the old man tried to shake them off, he couldn't.

His tone was also much colder than before.

"You've taken a fancy to my wife?"

The old man turned his head away, nestled to one side, took a couple of breaths, and said, "What do you have to be proud of? You're just a young master born into a good family. If I hadn't been born in this poor village, I would also have such a good wife. If we were both your wife's husband, she would definitely love me even more!"

"is it?"

Hua Ran stepped onto the steps beside her, pulled up her trouser leg, and revealed her entire fair and slender leg.

He parted his thin lips slightly and said, "Can you compare?"

"My face is prettier than yours!"

Just as the old man was about to reach out and touch Hua Ran's unrealistically beautiful legs, Hua Ran bent down.

At this moment, the corners of his eyes were already heavily red.

Her eyes reflected the old man's appearance when he was young.

She actually has a very ordinary face, but Hana Ran doesn't say that.

He lifted the old man's chin and said, "Your face is very handsome~ but..."

Suddenly, a large, brownish-red tail slowly emerged from behind, pushed aside the cloak, came to the old man's side, and gently flicked his cheek.

The old man's eyes were wide open and his mouth was agape, but unfortunately, his lifespan was coming to an end, and he could no longer make a sound.

"Monster, monster..."

The next moment, Hua Ran wrapped her tail tightly around his face, and blood flowed down the old man's face.

The old man was in excruciating pain, but what terrified him even more was that his face was ruined, ruined!
