Thud—

A tiny, soaking wet paper doll suddenly fell right in front of Lin Wanyue.

"Hey? It's back!" Little Pink Butterfly and Lin Wanyue were chatting when they saw the little paper doll return so quickly. They couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen? Why did this thing come back so fast?"

Previously, Lai Fu and Master Cui, dressed as paper cutouts, went out to investigate the bandits' whereabouts, but it took them an entire night.

Even if these two guys are useless, they shouldn't be able to come back as quickly as these little paper dolls, right?

The morning mist had not completely dissipated, enveloping the entire village in a light white veil.

Lin Wanyue's expression turned ugly at this moment.

Lin Diaodiao noticed that her mood was off, so she quickly jumped off her messy head and grabbed Lin Wanyue's clothes tightly with her paws, obediently not daring to move.

"The bandits are coming! They're right at the east end of the village entrance!" Lin Wanyue jumped down from the small table in a panic.

"Then I'll go take a look first." Knowing the situation was urgent, the little pink butterfly quickly floated towards the village entrance after saying this.

She was, after all, a ghost, and her elusive speed was much faster than Lin Wanyue's short legs could run past.

In the blink of an eye, they had already rushed to the village entrance.

Little Pink Butterfly saw a dozen or so bandits with knives in their hands, sneaking towards Ning'an Village.

This time it's much more difficult than the last one!

Last time there were only four people in total, and those four didn't seem very bright, but this time there are more than a dozen people!

"..." Little Pink Butterfly's heart trembled, but when she thought of all the people in the village, men and women, old and young, they were all just ordinary people.

They were neither particularly good nor particularly bad; they may have committed some minor offenses, but none deserving of death.

If these bandits were allowed into the village, how many villagers would be able to save their lives?

In the blink of an eye, the little pink butterfly had already made its decision.

She took out the little paper doll that Lin Wanyue had given her yesterday from her sleeve and put it on like she was wearing clothes.

A stunningly beautiful woman with flowing black hair and gorgeous clothes appeared before a group of bandits.

"Who are you? How did you get here?" The beauty raised her head slightly and asked softly.

"?" The bandit at the front was taken aback when he suddenly saw such a beautiful woman, and then he was overjoyed!

It seems that what that damned woman said last night was right after all!

This village is truly known for its beautiful women.

She's such a stunning beauty!

The bandit rubbed his eyes vigorously, as if afraid he had misread it.

“I… Little beauty, what are you doing here? You’re so pretty, aren’t you afraid of us?” The other bandits following behind also saw her and couldn’t help but step forward to chat.

"Hehe." The little pink butterfly smiled sweetly, "Why should I be afraid? This is my home. I'm going to pick some flowers to put in a vase. Would you like to come with me?"

"Of course, of course! Why should the beauty have to do such a small thing as picking flowers herself?" These people stared wide-eyed at the pearl pendant swaying in the beauty's hair, wiped the drool from their mouths, and couldn't suppress the lewd smile on their faces.

"..." The one-eyed man was always cautious. He was standing in the middle of the group. He noticed something was wrong ahead and asked sternly, "Hey, you guys in front, what's going on?"

"Brother! There's an absolutely stunning beauty over there. She said she'd take us back to her house. Her family is incredibly wealthy!" A bandit ran over with a grin and reported.

"A beauty?" The one-eyed man narrowed his only intact eye slightly.

How could there possibly be any stunningly beautiful woman in this rural area?

And they even took the initiative to bring this group of people, who obviously weren't good people, home?

"Bullshit! Could there be a woman like that in the world?" The one-eyed man raised his eyebrows. "You bunch of idiots who've never seen a woman before, what kind of beauty could grow out of this place? Even with the corns on your feet, you wouldn't believe it!"

But the bandits standing in front were already excited and hurriedly spoke well of their little beauty: "Brother, it's true! If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself! That beauty is gorgeous. If she could be your wife, that would be even better."

Although they also wanted to have their hands on such a beauty.

However, the one-eyed leader is not someone to be trifled with. If anyone dares to anger him, even if they are his own brother, they will not get away with it.

I'm afraid not only will they lose their lives, but they won't even be able to save a single piece of their flesh.

"..." The one-eyed elder brother walked forward, his murderous aura as sharp as a knife, and Little Pink Butterfly was startled.

She has been dead for decades, and no one knows how many men she has harmed, but she has only seduced men who are weak-willed, lustful, and cowardly. She has never met anyone like the one-eyed bandit.

Even just getting close, Little Pink Butterfly could feel the murderous aura emanating from him, a kind of aura that even ghosts would instinctively want to avoid.

"You're the little beauty they were talking about? You are indeed quite pretty." The one-eyed man hadn't expected to actually find such a gem. This beauty was not only beautiful, but everything she wore and wore was dazzling with gold.

The little pink butterfly forced herself to remain calm, feigning ignorance, and looked at the one-eyed man, asking, "Who are you? Why do you look so fierce?"

"Hahaha!" The one-eyed man burst into laughter: "How was I fierce? Weren't you going to take me home?"

"Are you like them, unable to find work, and want to come work as a farmhand at my house?" Little Pink Butterfly suppressed the urge to run away, giving Lin Wanyue a chance, and asked in a sweet voice.

"Of course, of course! Look how strong I am. If I work as a long-term laborer for your family, you'd better ask your father to give me more money." The one-eyed man had a cruel smile on his lips as he stared intently at Little Pink Butterfly's fair and delicate neck.

"Sure! As long as you work hard, my father won't treat you badly." Little Pink Butterfly led the way, and the bandits followed behind, completely absorbed.

But the one-eyed brother seemed unaffected, staring at the little pink butterfly's head full of jewels, estimating how much silver those things could fetch if sold.

He glanced at the infatuated look in his brother's eyes, and his expression grew even colder.

While the bandits weren't paying attention, the little pink butterfly had already altered the surrounding scenery, trying to lure them away.

After walking for a while, the fog remained thick, and the sun was slow to rise.

"Wait a minute!" the one-eyed man suddenly said.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" the younger brother asked.

The one-eyed man walked up to Little Pink Butterfly, his only remaining eye like an arrow in sight, a threatening smile spreading across his ugly face: "Little beauty, why is your home so far away? You've been walking for so long and still haven't arrived? I remember we weren't that far from that village, you're not lying to me, are you?"

The one-eyed man touched the knife in his hand, staring at the little pink butterfly with a dark look in his eyes.
