"Fairy, fairy..."
Before the morning mist had even dissipated, An Zhengzheng was awakened by a knock on the door.
She straightened her appearance before opening the door and saw that Aunt Gu looked very nervous.
What happened?
"In the village, a beast has become a spirit! It belongs to Sun Dalang's family. This morning, someone passing by saw Sun's cow run out on its own..."
Aunt Gu's face was full of worry: "What a huge ox! That ox demon is eating chickens and sheep from all over the place. It's ruined several houses. You should go and take a look."
An Zhengzheng nodded and followed her out of the inn.
The entrance to the inn was already crowded with villagers, some carrying hoes, others sickles, women holding children and supporting the elderly...
They all came to ask An Zhengzheng for help in driving away the monster, their faces filled with expectation and pleading.
They all became excited upon seeing An Zhengzheng.
"Fairy, please help me quickly..."
"You're the only one who's stayed in Anhe Village this year!"
An Zhengzheng calmly asked, "Where is that bull demon?"
"At Sun Dalang's house!" Aunt Gu quickly pointed in a direction. "The shopkeeper ran there as soon as he heard that his nephew was in trouble."
An Zhengzheng took out a compass from her treasure bag, and the compass needle pointed her in the right direction.
She casually plucked a green bamboo hairpin from her hair; this was An Zhengzheng's flying magic weapon, a gift from her senior sister, Caiqi.
"I'll go take a look first. Everyone, please hide to avoid being accidentally injured by the monsters."
After saying that, An Zhengzheng rode on a bamboo stalk and headed straight for Sun Dalang's house.
After she left, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that a fairy had come to experience her training!
"I almost thought we were all doomed!"
"Yes, thank goodness. After the fairy leaves, we must offer incense at the altar of Siyuemen in the ancestral hall."
The tension and fear on their faces gradually gave way to joy, and their faces showed relief at surviving a disaster.
For thousands of years, as long as immortals come to train, there are basically no monsters that cannot be driven away or subdued.
But a questioning voice arose: "But this fairy... can she really do it?"
He was a strong young man who clearly didn't trust An Zhengzheng much: "Those who came before were all immortals, and the vast majority of them were even Immortal Lords."
That one just now was just a fairy, or in other words, a girl!
It would have been better if it hadn't been brought up. Everyone exchanged uneasy glances. They hadn't thought of it before, but now that it was mentioned, they did feel a bit uneasy...
Aunt Gu walked with An Zhengzheng all the way and felt that she was a very steady person, not someone who knew nothing.
"She can't? You think you can? She can fly with a single bamboo pole, can you?"
"Aunt Gu, what are you saying? Of course I can't do it." The young man looked embarrassed.
Finally, the village chief spoke up. He had clearly thought about it for a while: "Each household should send one man to go to Sun Dalang's house!"
Ultimately, they still didn't trust that An Zhengzheng, a mere fairy, could possess any real abilities.
"Ah, aren't there fairies?" Some people were still scared and didn't want to go at all.
"If anything happens to the fairy, we won't even have anyone to protect us." The village chief glanced at him. "Think of your family members if you don't even think of yourself!"
The village chief's words drew complaints from the crowd.
"Sigh! Really, how come there's only a fairy here, but no celestial lord!"
"They're actually sending people out? Facing demonic beasts, there's never been any talk of sending people out before..."
Each household in the village was very unhappy and selected someone to represent them.
...
An Zhengzheng quickly located the compass, while the shopkeeper had already fainted from fright at Sun Dalang's house.
It was a somewhat dilapidated house, probably several hundred years old. Even after years of repairs, it was hard to hide its impoverished state.
The side rooms, in particular, had leaks that hadn't been repaired, suggesting they hadn't been maintained for at least a decade.
There were still traces of the ox rushing out of its house, having broken into several other houses. An Zhengzheng followed the traces.
I saw a yellow cow gnawing on a goose at a farmer's house.
"Beast, you have only recently become a spirit, do not bring disaster to the world!"
An Zhengzheng stared at it with sharp eyes and summoned the crimson and blue swords out of thin air.
Animals are different from plants when they become spirits. They have animalistic instincts. Once they cultivate into monsters, they start by killing small animals, then humans, and gradually their intelligence is awakened, so they can invade the human world and bring disaster to the country and its people.
This must be stopped!
"Moo—"
The old ox had its mouth full of animal blood, which looked very strange, and it even let out a howl.
The next second, the yellow demonic energy came towards An Zhengzheng, but it was easily neutralized by An Zhengzheng's talisman.
A man and an ox began to fight in the air.
"You old ox...did you just become a spirit? Or are you a descendant of a demon?"
This is far more powerful than that of an ordinary monster; it doesn't seem like it's just become a spirit.
Soaring through the air on bamboo would be mentally taxing, so An Zhengzheng stayed close to the ground and used magic to shrink the long green bamboo in mid-air.
"Moo—"
With a shriek, the old ox sent the bamboo flying before it could even be inserted into An Zhengzheng's hair.
"Catch it quickly!"
The old ox was alarmed and dared not linger with An Zhengzheng for too long. He quickly told Sun Dalang to take action.
I thought she was just an ordinary fairy, but I never expected her power to be so strong all by herself.
From the haystack, a man's figure rushed out and tightly grasped the shrunken green bamboo hairpin.
An Zhengzheng frowned slightly, her eyes indifferent.
"We've got him!"
Sun Dalang held on tightly, then walked up to the old ox, looking smug and proud.
He looked at An Zhengzheng, who had a blank expression, and his mouth was practically watering. This fairy was even more beautiful than Er Ya next door.
"Little fairy, you cultivators must suffer a lot on a regular basis, right?"
Zhao Dalang grinned, his eyes constantly scanning An Zhengzheng, making An Zhengzheng very uncomfortable.
"You're a girl, why do you have to be so strong-willed and suffer like that? From now on, you don't need to be so strong-willed..."
An Zhengzheng asked in confusion, "Why?"
Zheng Dalang smiled and said, "Because your strength has arrived."
An Zhengzheng: ...
Oil, good oil, that was the first thought that flashed through An Zhengzheng's mind.
"What's wrong with you? Get out of my way! Don't stop me from subduing the demon!"
An Zhengzheng attempted to use magic to capture the person, but quickly stopped, muttering in feigned confusion, "Huh, that's strange, why can't I cast a spell..."
The sound was quite loud, and Zheng Dalang heard it too. He was overjoyed, realizing that without the green bamboo, she had no magic power.
There was also joy in the old ox's eyes. If this fairy married his master, he would search for some good things from the Siyue Sect in the future.
Just like that fairy from many years ago! This old ox can also get some magical artifacts to speed up its cultivation.
Old Niu urged Sun Dalang, "Kid, hurry up! The food's already in your mouth."
Reminded by it, Sun Dalang finally snapped out of his joy.
"Little fairy, you can't escape now!"
He grinned, no longer holding back, his eyes constantly scanning An Zhengzheng, making her very uncomfortable.
"Now that your green bamboo is in my hands, if you want to go back, you have to marry me and give me a son."
