Everyone present was filled with fear. They had all witnessed An Zhengzheng's abilities the previous night and dared not underestimate her in the slightest.

In the past, other immortals who came to train would team up to subdue demons, but An Zhengzheng could fight them all by herself.

...We really can't afford to offend them.

The village chief was even a little frightened, wondering if the fairy had taken a grudge against Anhe Village and had come to ask their village for something.

Amidst everyone's various speculations, An Zhengzheng made a request that they never expected.

“I was born weak, and my spiritual practice has been difficult. I wonder if the people of Anhe Village would be willing to erect a longevity tablet for me in the village ancestral temple?”

An Zhengzheng said very kindly, "There's no need for daily offerings; it's just a matter of having a wooden plaque."

"That's...that's it?" The village chief scratched his head, and without even asking the villagers' opinions, he immediately nodded, "The fairy has exorcised the demon for our Anhe Village, so we are naturally willing to worship the fairy!"

What a joke! They came to their village to stay, and someone in the village had evil thoughts about the fairy. It's lucky the fairy didn't take her anger out on them.

It's just a matter of adding a few wooden signs!

The village head immediately summoned an old man from the village who knew how to make carpentry. In front of everyone, he made a longevity tablet and respectfully invited it to the ancestral hall.

An Zhengzheng also went through the process.

The ancestral hall in Anhe Village is a clan hall, which is very spacious. One side is used to enshrine the ancestors of each family, and the other side is used to enshrine the seven major clans.

An Zhengzheng's longevity tablet was placed behind the seven major sects, which was quite discreet.

"I am very weak, and no one wants to team up with me, so I travel around alone."

An Zhengzheng gave a slightly embarrassed smile: "Could we try to keep this matter low-key? I'm afraid my fellow disciples will laugh at me if they find out."

At this moment, the fairy who had been staying for several days and who gave off a gentle yet aloof feeling suddenly became embarrassed, a contrast that stunned everyone present.

It was as if the person who had so coldly dealt with the monster and Sun Dalang last night was not the same person.

"This..." the village chief quickly said, "Don't worry, our village will never talk nonsense. Anyone who does will be dealt with according to village law!"

He was, after all, the person in charge of the village, so he naturally knew more. Besides... they had no choice!

Upon hearing this, An Zhengzheng simply smiled faintly and told them, "This wooden plaque is connected to me. If your village encounters any danger, you can come to my longevity plaque and tell me. If I am nearby, I will definitely come to save you."

This is an attempt to lure her with benefits. An Zhengzheng is, after all, a businesswoman; only profit gives her the confidence to trust people.

Upon hearing this, the village chief was overjoyed and clapped his hands repeatedly: "Fairy, you have given our Anhe Village an extra talisman of peace! Thank you so much, Fairy!"

Those who cultivate immortality should not interfere too much with the mortal world. Even if someone comes to them in person, they should accept spirit stones to settle grudges and avoid getting involved with the secular world.

The immortals who came to Anhe Village in the past were all just passing through; almost none of them returned.

An Zhengzheng bid them farewell, and as she was leaving the village, she saw the mentally challenged Sun Dalang digging in the dirt on the way.

This person had a piece of their soul taken away by the Heavenly Realm, thus escaping punishment, but would be mentally impaired for life and would never commit evil again.

The shopkeeper, while looking down at the ledger, asked his waiter to take him to eat, shaking his head and sighing.

Aunt Gu is a kind-hearted woman. Even though she was angry with Sun Dalang back then and wanted to use her to establish his authority, she is no longer angry now.

She said, "...It's a good thing he's gone stupid, at least the villagers are less worried. Under the guise of herding cattle, he did quite a lot of things like trampling people's rice and cabbages."

Once they gained power, they became arrogant and unruly.

An Zhengzheng knew that he was protected by a god, just like the monsters Sun Wukong encountered on his journey to the West.

After committing numerous evil deeds in the human world, they eventually become either the mounts of deities or their beloved pets... Once they are taken back, the matter ends.

Thinking of this, she glanced slightly in the direction of the ancestral hall.

Aunt Gu didn't know what she was thinking and assumed she was worried about not having enough cultivation.

“Fairy, don’t worry, you saved my life, and you also saved my daughter and son. I will definitely visit you often in the future.”

These words were spoken very sincerely.

An Zhengzheng smiled faintly and said, "Thank you."

And so they left Anhe Village.

On the way, An Zhengzheng calmed herself down for a long time, thinking about Senior Sister Wen Yu's meaningful words, and wondering what kind of things she would encounter next.

Gods neglecting their duties... is that a common occurrence? But then she thought that this was a sweet romance novel, and anything could happen.

Just like when she went to Anhe Village, An Zhengzheng went to several other villages, vanquishing demons and monsters along the way, putting all the skills she had learned at Siyue Sect to good use.

They subdued many demons and monsters that disturbed normal human life, and fed them to the mutated tiger.

However, even as things went smoothly, she would always have these thoughts, always feeling that the kind of dereliction of duty by the gods that happened in Anhe Village would happen again.

Before she encountered the matter of the gods' dereliction of duty, she never expected to meet an old friend.

It was a village after a light drizzle when An Zhengzheng chased a weasel spirit into the mountains.

After much difficulty, they subdued it, removed its inner core, and finally carried its corpse back to the village.

"It's this weasel spirit. I recognize the fur on its head, and the scar on its face is the one I gave it when it took human form!"

Someone recognized him and was furious: "He pretends to be a passerby every time, not only stealing chickens, but also retaliating against me by blindfolding my child, almost causing her to get lost!"

Qingyang Village has suffered from this weasel for a long time; it even scared several elderly people in the village to death before.

Now that An Zhengzheng has solved the monster problem for Qingyang Village, the villagers are very enthusiastic and invite him to stay for drinks.

In order to get closer to the common people, An Zhengzheng agreed, and several families in the village accompanied him.

Halfway through our conversation, we passed by a house and heard people arguing inside.

"No! How many times has this happened already? If you don't send them away, we simply can't go on living like this!"

"They are my parents, so what? No daughter-in-law has ever behaved like you!"

It was very noisy.

An Zhengzheng felt the voice was somewhat familiar.

Seeing An Zhengzheng's interest, the wife of the village chief of Qingyang Village, who had been accompanying her, explained to her: "This is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Pei family. She outlived her first husband and remarried."

"The old couple in the Pei family don't like her. The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is quite fierce!"

Someone chimed in, "Her husband was really bragging about it, saying that this eldest daughter-in-law of the Pei family used to be a disciple of the Siyue Sect, but somehow she ended up getting married... Otherwise, she would have to have the same abilities as you, Fairy."

Before he could finish speaking, a woman ran out of the house, sobbing.

They almost bumped into An Zhengzheng.

"Oh dear, Pei Tingyan's son, what are you doing now? Don't offend the fairy!"

Someone blocked An Zhengzheng's way and whispered a reprimand.

The woman looked up and suddenly froze, staring at An Zhengzheng with her mouth agape.

"An... An Zhengzheng, is it you... it's you?"
