Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 108 Peach Blossom Fairy: Will Teasing Lu Yuan Kill Me?
"Waaaaah, my lord, waaaaah, get up! I don't want to live anymore!"

"Mother, please get up! I'm not hungry anymore, I'm not hungry anymore."

"Waaaaah, son, son, how am I supposed to explain this to your mother?"

The villagers inside the temple were crying and shouting.

The temple was surrounded by layers upon layers of onlookers.

"Make way, make way! The chief constable is here! Get out of the way and don't obstruct the officers' work!"

Upon hearing that it was Lu Yuan who had arrived, the players quickly made way for him.

Lu Yuan entered the temple and found that the situation inside was terrible.

There were more than a dozen corpses laid out.

The corpses all died in the same way. The most bizarre thing was their expressions. They were very peaceful. They had not suffered any pain before they died. They just died quietly, and the water drained away, turning them into mummies.

But, is this possible?

If someone dies from dehydration, it's impossible for them to die without suffering.

……

"Chief Constable, you've finally arrived."

"Old Sun, how many people died?"

"Eighteen, all villagers from Tao Village."

"That old man was the village chief, and his son and daughter-in-law were also among the dead."

Old Sun pointed to the old man next to him who was secretly shedding tears.

At that moment, the old man was looking at the corpse of a young man not far away and weeping.

That's his son.

His daughter-in-law was lying next to him.

"Village Chief Taocun?"

"I am the old village chief of Peach Village. I greet the chief constable. Please, chief constable, avenge us!"

“My son died unjustly. My daughter-in-law just gave birth not long ago, and my grandson lost his parents at such a young age. Waaah!”

"Not long ago?"

"Was that pregnant woman who had a difficult childbirth a few days ago your daughter-in-law?"

Lu Yuan recalled the story of the Peach Blossom Fairy's miraculous appearance and inquired about it.

"Yes Yes Yes."

"She is indeed my daughter-in-law."

After learning about the situation from the village chief, Lu Yuan went to find Old Sun.

"Old Sun, any clues?"

"Was it this Peach Blossom Fairy who killed them?"

"If so, then I'll take action."

Lu Yuan is not good at investigating cases.

"Chief Constable, based on the current evidence, it wasn't Peach Blossom Fairy who did it; it was another spirit."

"Chief Constable, look down at your feet."

"These peach petals, and some foul-smelling black blood."

"Half of the temple has collapsed."

"The idol is also cracked."

"I dare say that this Peach Blossom Fairy is on the side of the villagers, and even fought against the murderous monster for their sake."

"only……"

Old Sun stopped talking after that.

"It's because you're not as skilled as others, right?"

Yi Wushuang climbed in and continued the sentence.

"Ahem, Third Young Master, don't say such things, lest you upset the Peach Blossom Fairy."

Liu Shi also walked in, glancing at the statue of the Peach Blossom Fairy with great apprehension.

None of these spirits are weak.

Even the weakest of the spirits is beyond the capabilities of ordinary warriors like them.

Especially some petty spirits; if you dare to speak ill of them, they will turn around and find a chance to retaliate against you.

"Am I petty?"

"mortal."

Suddenly, a light and melodious voice echoed through the temple.

The people in the temple all showed expressions of fear.

Especially Yi Wushuang, whose sword box opened with a whoosh.

Two divine swords flew out of their scabbards and were placed in front of him.

Liu Shi instinctively stepped on his left and right feet, and with a whoosh, he was sent flying.

He's a pro at escaping.

"There's a ghost! Aaaaaah!"

"Damn, it's haunted even in broad daylight."

"What the hell? My pants are wet, goodbye."

"This game has scary elements."

A number of the players who were watching outside were also scared away.

However, some of the bolder ones remained where they were. "Peach Blossom Fairy, waah waah waah, Peach Blossom Fairy."

"Fairy, please save my son!"

The villagers were not afraid; instead, they knelt before the statue and wept bitterly.

For the villagers, this Peach Blossom Fairy was their ancestor whom they had knelt before since childhood, so why would they be afraid?

"Ugh."

With a sigh, a stunningly beautiful woman in a pink dress appeared out of thin air.

The villagers' voices grew louder.

The woman waved her sleeve at the villagers, and flower petals fell on them. The villagers felt weak all over and then fell into a deep sleep.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

The Peach Blossom Fairy looked at Lu Yuan, and everyone present felt a certain degree of fear towards her.

The only exception was the tall man in front of him.

They felt no fear of her identity, and were even somewhat curious about it.

"Why should I be afraid of you?"

Lu Yuan's gaze remained unchanged, but his tone carried a hint of disdain.

Am I afraid of you?

Little sister, how many lives do you have?

How dare you speak to me, Lu, like that?

Aren't you afraid I'll crush your head?
"Little brat, you're so arrogant."

"I'm quite the spirit now."

"The kind that eats people."

When the Peach Blossom Fairy saw Lu Yuan's face, she couldn't resist teasing him.

"Oh."

Lu Yuan simply replied with an "oh" without any expression.

Are you really not afraid, or are you just pretending?

"Peach Blossom Fairy asked in surprise."

"Should I be afraid?"

"Yes, I am a spirit, much stronger than humans. Isn't it instinctive for the weak to fear the strong?"

The Peach Blossom Fairy circled Lu Yuan twice, and the sweet fragrance of peach blossoms kept wafting into Lu Yuan's nose.

Is it instinctive for the weak to fear the strong?

"correct."

"Then let me ask you a question: are you stronger or that big monkey from Qihe?"

Lu Yuan simply looked calmly at the Peach Blossom Fairy before him.

This spirit is beautiful and top-notch in every way, but then what?
Can good looks withstand physical abuse?

Does being good-looking mean you can take an extra punch?

Showing off? I'll fucking make you fly.

Dare to challenge me?

……

"The big monkey of Qihe?"

Are you referring to the river god of the Qi River?

"In its prime, I was evenly matched with it, but now, I am no match for it."

"Oh."

"Then the question is, why don't you have the instinct of the weak to fear the strong?"

Am I not strong enough?

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, and red flames rose up.

The powerful pressure unique to Lu Yuan instantly enveloped the Peach Blossom Fairy.

Those scarlet eyes were like those of a demon god returning from purgatory.

He stared intently at her.

Instinctively, the Peach Blossom Fairy trembled with fear, her statue shaking precariously as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

"Chief Constable, Chief Constable."

"No! She's an ally, one of our own. We still need to ask her about the killer. Don't do anything! If she dies, we won't be able to find the killer."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Old Sun quickly tried to persuade Lu Yuan, and the other constables also spoke up to persuade him.

"Yes, yes, Chief Constable, don't do it."

"Children don't understand."

"Calm down, I have no intention of making a move."

"I'm very reasonable."

Lu Yuan raised his hand to stop everyone.

He has always been a reasonable person and would not kill someone just because of a few unintentional words.

Moreover, this peach blossom fairy meant no harm.
