Chen Fengjiao's outer clothes fell off, revealing a black aura of malevolence.

The nails turned black and sharpened, looking exceptionally sharp.

I'm going to kill you!

She pointed directly at Chen Yunyun and flew over.

Chen Yunyun hid behind Rong Yan and handed him the demon-slaying sword she had bought from the system shop, saying, "Go for it! Take her down!"

With all that extra weight given to Rong Yan, he should be able to beat Chen Fengjiao this time.

Rong Yan glanced at the Demon-Slaying Sword; he couldn't stand its garbage quality.

It materialized out of thin air, its long blade gleaming with a cold light.

A single sword aura caused the sky to collapse and the earth to split.

Chen Fengjiao was knocked out; she didn't even manage to land a single blow before collapsing to the ground, vomiting blood.

"You...how could you..."

Her eyes were filled with disbelief. She had clearly given her soul, yet she couldn't even withstand a single move from this man?

Tears welled up in Chen Fengjiao's eyes; she felt so resentful.

The former Zhao Liu, the present Rong Yan.

Why does Chen Yunyun always have men helping her? She's so resentful!

She just wanted to kill Chen Yunyun and live a good life with Zhijun. Couldn't she even fulfill such a small wish?

Chen Yunyun stood behind Rong Yan and fell into deep thought as she watched Chen Fengjiao being knocked out.

What exactly is wrong?

Why is Rong Yan so powerful?

Is Da Mo really Chen Fengjiao?

Why does it look so vulnerable?

In fact, Chen Yunyun had indeed misunderstood the Great Demon.

The Lingyun Sword is an ancient divine sword with extraordinary power.

When it comes to slaying demons and monsters, it is the ancestor. If a demon can withstand this sword and not immediately vanish into thin air, it is already considered to have profound Taoist skills.

With the demon vanquished, Rong Yan sheathed his sword and stepped into the void.

A small cauldron floated into the air in front of Chen Yunyun. She took it, pointed it at Chen Fengjiao, and after reciting the incantation, said, "Collect!"

Chen Fengjiao has been bound inside the cauldron.

Rong Yan's sword strike was so powerful that the earth shook and the villagers thought it was an earthquake. They all came out of their houses, still shaken.

Only at the village chief's house did the elderly man with gray hair calculate with his fingers and say, "This is an auspicious sign."

"Yongquan, take good care of that girl."

The village chief was called by his full name and respectfully responded. He wanted to say, "Great Ancestor..."

The sprightly old man stopped the village chief from speaking, saying meaningfully, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

"My time is almost up, so let me do one last thing for the descendants of the Xu family."

In the afternoon, news of the death in Xu Liangping's family spread throughout the Xu family.

Everyone was on edge, and besides burning incense, they sought out the Great Ancestor and Chen Yunyun.

After seeing off a group of villagers, there was another knock on the door.

When Chen Yunyun opened the door, she was surprised to see that it was her great-grandfather.

She always felt that the Great Ancestor was a mysterious and unpredictable master whose eyes were like torches, as if he could see through her origins.

"Great Ancestor, have a cup of hot water."

The old man took it, drank it all in one gulp, and said meaningfully, "Indeed, the water here is still the best."

After finishing his water, the Great Ancestor didn't beat around the bush, saying, "Young friend, I know you're not from here."

Chen Yunyun stood there, stunned, unsure how to react.

"Don't worry, I mean no harm."

"I've lived this long, and I've seen all sorts of strange and wonderful things. Don't be afraid, young friend."

"How's your talisman-making practice going?"

Chen Yunyun was taken aback, "I don't have that kind of talent."

The old man stroked his white beard and smiled. "That's normal. There's no need to be too self-deprecating. Back in my day, it took me three years to draw my first talisman."

"I've come here abruptly today because I want to make a deal with you."

Chen Yunyun listened intently, and after hearing what was said, she quickly declined, saying, "I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm afraid I can't fulfill your request."

The founding emperor smiled and said, "Young man, you must believe in yourself."

"If that day ever comes, I hope you will do as I say."

Chen Yunyun thought for a few minutes, while the great-grandfather stood aside patiently waiting.

She made up her mind, "Okay."

Seeing that she agreed, the Great Ancestor took out an antique ring from his pocket and said, "This is for my young friend."

Chen Yunyun took it, but couldn't see anything special about it.

"Why not try using your spiritual power?" After giving this suggestion, the Grand Ancestor slowly left.

He was hunched over, yet he walked with a light, airy gait. Where he passed, the snow was clean and smooth, without a single footprint.

Chen Yunyun stared blankly in the direction he walked.

With the great demon vanquished and thanks to the Great Ancestor's words, the village will be her safe haven from now on.

I suppose no more blind fools will come to cause trouble.

Her family can finally have a peaceful New Year.

Chen Yunyun, relieved of her exhaustion, went inside for a nap.

When I woke up, it was already dark, and a faint aroma was coming from the kitchen.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Niu Niu and Da Wa, roasting sweet potatoes with San Wa.

The children learned it after Chen Yunyun taught them once last time.

I previously redeemed 30 jin of sweet potatoes in the system space. Each one was huge and round, sweet inside, and smelled especially good when roasted.

"Mother, you should try it."

Chen Yunyun took the sweet potato from Niu Niu, broke it in half, and the sweet aroma became even more intense and fragrant.

Chen Yunyun was already full after eating sweet potatoes, as were her two children.

But the thought of a man with a huge appetite forced Chen Yunyun to pick up the spatula again.

The meat we had stockpiled at home was almost gone.

She's going into the mountains tomorrow to try her luck and see if she can catch some pheasants or rabbits.

Another morning, the crowing of pheasants in the yard woke Chen Yunyun.

She got up and made breakfast.
