After scaring the blue demon out of her wits, Lilith began to ask questions, and it took her a while to figure out what kind of world this was.

This era was a golden age for humanity, with aristocratic elegance, bustling capitals, and a flourishing of traditional Chinese culture. Poetry, clothing, Yin-Yang philosophy, and court culture reached their peak. The population was dense, towns were numerous, etiquette was complex, and human life was vibrant.

This era was also a golden age for monsters. Nobles fought each other constantly, plotted assassinations, and were consumed by love, hate, and obsession. The common people suffered greatly, with famine, war, and disease rampant. Superstition was prevalent, and everyone felt fear, unease, resentment, and sorrow. Countless people died in war, plague, abandoned infants, and violent deaths, their souls never settling down.

These negative emotions such as fear, hatred, despair, resentment, and anxiety are curses. When a large number of curses are accumulated, entangled, and condensed, they will materialize and become monsters.

This was the second year of Changde, also known in later generations as the Heian period.

Upon learning this, Lilith was momentarily stunned. Only after confirming several times did she realize that she had traveled back to the feudal era.

"So, you're saying there are no personal terminals, no internet, and none of the delicacies of later generations here?"

Realizing this, Lilith's face immediately fell, and she was completely displeased. As someone who had enjoyed the conveniences of the information age, she did not think that the feudal era was anything good.

With backward thinking and technology, in feudal times, unless you were a nobleman, let alone having enough to eat, even surviving was a problem.

However, now that she's in this world, Lilith is too lazy to back out. She'll just make the best of it and take it one step at a time.

After all, Lilith lived a long time; it wouldn't be a problem for her to survive from the feudal era to the steam age and the information age...

"One last question, tell me where people live."

Lilith spoke to the blue demon, who secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing "one last question." Eager to rid himself of this jinx, he quickly replied:

"Keep walking east, and after crossing a mountain, there will be a small village there..."

As he spoke, the blue demon looked cautiously at Lilith and whispered:

"Now that you've finished asking your questions, may I leave?"

The blue demon had expected a positive answer from Lilith, but Lilith simply shook her head and began to mobilize the positive energy within her body:

"How could that be? You're the embodiment of negativity. You don't look like a good person at all. Rather than letting you go, we should kill you."

"You're lying to me...?"

Upon hearing Lilith's words, the Blue Demon was startled. Regaining his senses, his狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face began to contort, and he shouted sharply:

"You lied to me?! You lied to me?! You lied to me?!"

The blue demon's voice was shrill, as if he had suffered a great injustice. Lilith simply covered her ears, her face full of disgust.

"Why are you speaking so loudly? I didn't promise to let you leave. I only said that if you answer the questions, I wouldn't kill you immediately."

"You...you...!"

The blue demon trembled with rage, his chest heaving violently. Just as he was about to explode, he suddenly pointed behind Lilith, his face filled with astonishment:

"Wow! A Great Tengu!"

"Where? Where?"

Lilith turned her head to look, only to find nothing behind her. Looking up at the sky, there wasn't even a bird, let alone a Great Tengu.

As hurried footsteps sounded, Lilith realized she had been tricked. She turned around, looked at the blue demon who had turned and fled, and her eye twitched.

He stopped messing around with the guy and instead mobilized the positive energy within his body, instantly arriving in front of the Blue Demon and delivering the final blow.

Even in death, the blue demon believed he had successfully escaped, and was unaware that he had been reduced to ashes and vanished under Lilith's attack.

After defeating the Blue Oni, Lilith didn't stay where she was. Instead, following the Blue Oni's instructions, she headed east to find a village...

At first, Lilith suspected that the Blue Oni was lying to her because of the Great Tengu incident. But after leaving the forest and climbing to the top of the mountain, she took advantage of the night and saw a small village by the river at the foot of the mountain. There were also several cultivated rice paddies outside the village.

"There really was someone there. It was worth coming all this way."

Lilith's eyes lit up, and she quickly headed towards the village at the foot of the mountain. On the way, she encountered several low-level monsters with no intelligence. Lilith had already mastered the ability to exorcise monsters with positive energy, and the low-level monsters dared not approach her and ran away as fast as they could.

Lilith descended the mountain without incident and walked along the country path outside the village. By the moonlight, she glanced at the rice paddies and saw that the rice was growing in a disastrous way.

This rice, far inferior to hybrid rice, can barely feed a family in a year. Want any surplus? Forget about it. Besides, 50% of this rice has to be handed over to the government after it matures.

The golden age was only for royalty and nobility; the lives of ordinary people were only slightly more stable, but not much better.

Upon entering the village, it was already late, and the villagers had gone to bed early, leaving the village completely dark.

Having finally found a place where people lived, Lilith didn't want to wait until dawn, so she randomly picked a simple hut made of wood and thatch and knocked on the door.

dong dong dong.

"Hey, is anyone home?"

Lily called out and waited for a while, but no one responded. So she knocked on the door again and called out a few more times, but the person inside seemed to be fast asleep and refused to answer.

Seeing that she couldn't wake this family, Lilith didn't continue to bother them. Instead, she went to another household and continued knocking and calling out.

What He didn't know was that every household He visited was awakened by His voice. However, Lilith's unfamiliar and clear voice made everyone think that the person outside the door was a terrifying female monster.

To save their lives, they huddled on their beds, trembling, afraid to make a sound...

After visiting every house in the village, Lilith was starting to have some existential doubts:

"Do the villagers sleep so well? I can't wake them up no matter what I do. Forget it, I'll just wait until dawn. I don't believe they can sleep forever."

And so, Lilith spent the night without sleep, until finally, as dawn broke, she went off again with great enthusiasm to knock on doors from house to house.

For a moment, knocking on the door came incessantly, but apart from Lilith's voice, the village was eerily silent.

"Oh my god, aren't monsters afraid of sunlight? It's almost dawn, why are they still knocking on the door?"

Hearing Lilith knocking on the door, the villagers almost burst into tears. In their minds, most monsters were afraid of sunlight, and any monster that wasn't afraid of sunlight was undoubtedly a powerful monster.

And now, such a great monster is roaming the village, causing the villagers to wail in their hearts as if by unison:

"My life is over...!"

"Tsk, it's already dawn and you're still not awake? No wonder the rice yield is so disappointing. Get out here and start farming!"

Finally, Lilith lost all patience to knock on each door. She kicked over the wooden door, burst into the villager's home, and shouted like that.

But He did not expect that His appearance would turn the villagers, who were huddled on their beds, pale and shout "The monster is coming!" They would climb out of the window and run away. Those with weaker constitutions even fainted on the spot.

Seeing the villagers' exaggerated reaction, Lilith was stunned and completely confused:

"...What's going on? Where's the monster?"
