As the villagers were preparing to hold a God of Food competition, a young man suddenly emerged from the crowd.

He shouted, "Folks, folks! You're being foolish, so foolish!"

"Don't be misled by this guy's words. Think about our original intention, think about our purpose. Is holding a God of Food competition really reasonable?"

Jiang Che's face darkened.

Wow, there's actually someone here with their wits about them!

Immediately, the young man looked at Jiang Che with a sinister expression, "If you ask me, we should just divide it up right here!"

The villagers were eager to move, clearly showing signs of becoming ghostly.

Although these villagers were only F-level, some even below that, there were many of them.

If they all went berserk, it would definitely be troublesome to deal with.

More importantly, the mission prompt had said from the start to build good relationships with the villagers.

Clues could be obtained from them.

If all the villagers were killed, the lack of clues might prevent the mission from being completed.

At this moment, Zhuge Ye whispered, "Brother Che, close your eyes, watch me take them all out."

"No."

"I'll cast an R really quickly."

"You're not even level 6 yet."

"??? What?"

"Step back, I'll carry us."

Jiang Che stopped Zhuge Ye, then stretched his neck and pointed at the young man, "What are you looking at?"

Young man: "What are you looking at?"

Jiang Che: "Try looking again?"

"Try it, I will!"

"Damn it!"

Jiang Che, with his fiery temper, went up and slapped him.

The young man's head spun 720 degrees!

Then, Jiang Che knocked him down, pounding him with fists like sandbags!

"Bang bang bang!"

Blood splattered, and the young man's head was smashed into the ground.

An E-level against an F-level, isn't that just a one-sided beatdown?

The villagers, who were just thinking about how to divide Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye, were suddenly stunned.

This... this...

What just happened?

He was just looking at you, what did he do wrong?

One villager's eyes were wide open in shock.

At this moment, Zhuge Ye rushed out, pointing at that person and shouting, "What the hell are you looking at? Come out and fight one-on-one! You hit me, I hit you, so what? Have you ever chopped someone? Have you ever chopped a dead person?"

At this moment, Jiang Che was like Iori Yagami from King of Fighters.

Squatting on the ground, dealing with the body of the one who stood out, blood splattering as he glanced back at the villagers.

"Wow—"

Everyone was so scared they backed away, no longer having the previous thoughts about Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye.

Just then, an old man with a cane shakily walked out from the crowd.

He squinted his eyes, a smile spread across his face, "Please calm down, both of you. Inviting outsiders for a meal is a custom in Shiling Village. If there's been any offense, please don't take it to heart."

Inviting for a meal is actually a custom?

(Tip 2: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Please don't easily violate the village's rules.)

Jiang Che wiped the bloodstains from his body and said, "It's fine, he's already realized his mistake."

The old man's face twitched violently.

Realized his mistake?

Damn, you beat him to death.

And you're telling me he realized his mistake?

Are you even human?

Is this something a human would say?

Though the old man was internally ranting, he still maintained a smile on his face.

"I'm the deputy village chief here. How about this, it's getting dark soon. If you don't mind, you can stay at my place for the night?"

Deputy village chief?!

Jiang Che's eyes lit up, then he said, "Actually, I do mind."

Deputy village chief: "???"

Jiang Che: "But since you're the deputy village chief."

Zhuge Ye: "Then we'll reluctantly make do."

The deputy village chief nodded, "Then follow me..."

...

Following the deputy village chief, they saw quite a bit along the way.

Shiling Village wasn't as desolate as imagined, with quite a few residents.

Some were chatting at their doorsteps, some were doing laundry, some were making sausages and smoked meat.

It looked no different from an ordinary village.

Until they passed by a household.

A plump woman was hanging a bloody head on the balcony, humming a tune~

"......"

"Brother Che, that person seems to be one of our teammates..." Zhuge Ye said in a low voice.

Jiang Che: "Do I have teammates?"

Zhuge Ye: "Huh? You? Huh? Aren't I one?"

Jiang Che: "Still dreaming?"

Zhuge Ye took a deep breath, "Are you serious?"

Jiang Che grinned, "Just kidding, look how scared you are."

"Not funny at all, I thought you really didn't want me... 555"

"Wherever your thoughts go, just roll that far, okay?"

Though he said that, Jiang Che was well aware.

Someone had already had an accident...

The Mystic World might have a slightly strange style with him.

But for others, it's definitely 100% terrifying...

Zhuge Ye: "Brother Che, do you really not have fear cells?"

Jiang Che patted Zhuge Ye's shoulder, "The world always makes men fearless and brave, face everything with composure..."

Zhuge Ye: "That sounds familiar."

Soon, they arrived at the deputy village chief's house.

It was a stylish rural villa.

As soon as they entered, a voluptuous woman in a high-slit dress greeted them.

Her appearance was vastly different from the villagers they had just seen.

Like someone from a nightclub in the magic city, while the others were hardworking farmers from the mountains.

The two were completely incomparable, yet both appeared in Shiling Village.

The deputy village chief smiled and said, "Let me introduce, this is Hu Mei'er, and these are the outsiders who arrived today."

Zhuge Ye spoke up, "Deputy village chief, your granddaughter is so beautiful! Does she have a boyfriend?"

Deputy village chief: "This is my wife."

Zhuge Ye: "(O_o)??"

"Ahem." The deputy village chief cleared his throat and then said, "Mei'er, take them to rest first. Prepare more food for dinner."

"Okay, darling~" Hu Mei'er replied in a sweet voice.

Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye couldn't help but shiver.

Following Hu Mei'er, they reached a room on the second floor.

Hu Mei'er leaned against the door frame, casually revealing a patch of white, and said with a smile, "Rest well, both of you. If you need anything, just call for Mei'er. Since you're the old man's guests, Mei'er will fulfill any request~"

"Really, anything?" Zhuge Ye asked, holding an umbrella.

Hu Mei'er: "❤~"

Zhuge Ye: "❤~"

"Bang!" Jiang Che slammed the door shut.

Outside, Hu Mei'er's scream echoed, "Ah! My leg, my leg!"

"Uh..."

Jiang Che pulled the door back a bit.

Then kicked Hu Mei'er's pale thigh out.

Then closed the door again.

Zhuge Ye protested, "Brother Che, what are you doing!"

"Slap!"

A slap landed on Zhuge Ye's forehead.

Jiang Che said sternly, "Are you out of your mind? Even the Uncanny isn't safe from you?"

Zhuge Ye: "What right do you have to say that? What did you do with the water ghost in the well, don't you have any sense?"

Jiang Che: "What did I do? I reached into her stomach to get a key, what's wrong with that?"

"You! Huh? Oh, this..."

"Let's organize the clues first." Jiang Che pulled up a chair and sat down.

Zhuge Ye scratched his head, "Organize, what clues?"

Jiang Che looked at Zhuge Ye in surprise.

"Juvenile, play is play, but don't joke with challenges..."

Zhuge Ye patted the bed, "Why don't we rest for a while?"

"Rest? Rest for what!"

Jiang Che said seriously, "Only those who are of no use to society rest!"

Five minutes later...

Both of them were lying on the bed...

"This bed... is so soft~~~"

"Yeah... so comfortable..."

"When I get back... I want to buy this brand of mattress~"

"Then I'll buy it too..."

Xiaoman: "Stay awake, you're still on a mission."

Jiang Che: "It's fine~ you put down the whistle~ I'll just nap for a bit..."

Xiaoman: "......"

Soon, both of them were asleep.

As night fell, while Jiang Che and Zhuge Ye were still sound asleep.

"Creak..."

The room door opened.
