Tears welled up in Huang Xianxian’s eyes as she looked at everyone and prayed with her palms put together.

The child in the house kept crying, making everyone’s heart break.

The village chief couldn’t help but respond. “Lang’er, we watched you grow up. We’ll believe you this time. The child is still young, so we can’t bear to separate you. However, if you dare to hurt someone, we won’t tolerate you.”

Huang Lang’er hugged Huang Xianxian and said gratefully, “Thank you, thank you, we won’t hurt anyone.”

This matter was over.

When Liu Sanniang woke up, the sky was already bright.

She quickly got up and went out. She got onto a stool and looked at Huang Lang’er’s house. Just as she thought, four years had passed. Huang Lang’er’s son was already four years old.

The four-year-old boy was wearing a cotton shirt and was a little chubby. He was feeding the chicken with a handful of grains in the courtyard. In a few years, the courtyard did not seem to have changed much.

Liu Sanniang got off the stool and went to the kitchen. Chu Yan was already cooking. When the two of them were eating, Liu Sanniang said, “After breakfast, let’s go out and see if Magistrate Wei and the others have woken up.”

Chu Yan nodded. “Yes.”

After breakfast, Liu Sanniang went out with Chu Yan. Wei Shilai was now the village chief. When Liu Sanniang found him, he looked at Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang. He was stunned. “It’s not easy to find herbs nowadays, right? I heard that some doctors are willing to wait for many years for a herb. I didn’t believe it in the past, but now I believe it.”

Chu Yan nodded. “Yes.”

Liu Sanniang still wanted to give it a try. She called out to Wei Shilai. “Magistrate Wei.”

Wei Shilai paused for a moment before smiling. “I need to go and get busy. See you around.”

WIth that, he left.

Liu Sanniang looked at Wei Shilai’s departing figure helplessly. Would he only wake up after the illusion ended?

Liu Sanniang went to look for Lin Zheng again. He had always been a person with strong will, but when she saw Lin Zheng plowing the field and a few children calling him father, Liu Sanniang knew that she and Chu Yan were the only ones awake in this illusion.

It seemed that her and Chu Yan’s awakening was an accident.

When she returned, Liu Sanniang saw that Huang Lang’er was about to go out. She stood and looked at him. Huang Lang’er was talking to Huang Xianxian about something. After saying that, he kissed Huang Xianxian’s forehead and hugged the child before leaving.

Liu Sanniang called to stop him. “Huang Lang’er.”

Huang Lang’er stopped in his tracks and looked at Liu Sanniang in confusion. He paused for a while before asking. “Oh, it’s Madam Chu. Have you two found the herbs you wanted?”

Liu Sanniang did not answer this question. She asked instead. “Where are you going?”

Huang Lang’er smiled and said, “I’m going to the city to buy something.”

Liu Sanniang had a bad feeling. “Aren’t you coming back today?”

The nearest town to Huanghu Village was two to four hours away. If he went to the city, he might not be able to return at night.

Huang Lang’er nodded. “Yes, I’ll be back tomorrow morning. My son is turning four years old. My wife wants to give him a bracelet.”

After saying that, Huang Lang’er grinned. “Take care. I’ll get going first.”

Looking at Huang Lang’er’s departing figure, Liu Sanniang remembered that Huang Ming had said that Huang Xianxian killed people.

She looked at Chu Yan and said, “Chu Yan, stay up tonight.”

Chu Yan replied solemnly. “Okay.”

After dinner, Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan did not rest. The sky gradually darkened, and Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan kept observing the situation in Huang Lang’er’s house.

Late at night, three figures walked towards Huang Lang’er’s house. They looked around and broke the door lock.

Liu Sanniang clenched her fists and walked over. Chu Yan followed suit.

The two of them quickly arrived at the scene.

Chu Yan threw punches at the three of them, but he missed.

Liu Sanniang frowned. “Why is this happening?”

Chu Yan looked at his fist and walked back to Liu Sanniang’s side. “This is something that has already happened. Although it’s an illusion, it can’t be changed.”

They could only watch as the three of them broke the lock and sneaked in.

Soon, some voices came from inside the house.

The men were talking dirty. Chu Yan reached out to cover Liu Sanniang’s ears to prevent her from hearing anything.

Liu Sanniang felt sweet, though she had already heard everything.

She heard those people say wicked things. “Don’t resist. We won’t hurt you. We just want to see how good you taste.”

“Huang Lang’er went to the city today. He won’t be back tonight. If none of us say a word, no one will know.”

“I can’t wait. Hahaha, this woman is really beautiful. Why should we let Huang Lang’er enjoy her alone?”

“That’s right, that’s right. Hurry up and hold her down.”

Huang Xianxian suppressed her anger and warned them. “Don’t you know that I’m a demon? Get out now. I’ll pretend this never happened.”

She was the mountain god. She could tolerate being insulted by these men verbally, but if they dared to put a finger on her, she would definitely not tolerate it.

Not only did Huang Xianxian’s warning not make them stop, but they were also amused. “Hahaha, how can you, a pretty girl, be a demon? Besides, it’d be more exciting if you were really a demon.”

“Stop struggling. It’s useless.”

“You don’t want us to use violence, do you? When Huang Lang’er comes back, we’ll just say that you felt lonely and seduced us. At that time, we’ll see if the villagers believe you or us.”

With a beauty in front of them, they could no longer care about anything else.

Huang Xianxian couldn’t take it anymore. Her face turned back to its original appearance, and sharp claws grew out of her nails. Her voice was no longer gentle but deep like a beast. “Don’t come near me again. Get out.”

She really did not want to kill anyone.

However, those with evil in their hearts would not stop just like that. Looking at Huang Xianxian, they wanted to molest her by force even more.

Huang Xianxian’s eyes turned red as she stabbed her pointy claws into the hearts of the men.

Huang Xianxian retracted her claws and the three figures slowly fell to the ground. She was very fast and killed them in one blow.

After killing them, she sat with the child until dawn.

At some point, someone came looking for these men.

The first thing they thought of when they couldn’t find their son was that he had been eaten by a demon. As it happened, there was a demon in this village, so they mobilized everyone in the village to gather around Huang Lang’er’s house.
