"Yes, master."

Seeing Wang Zhifan opening the bedroom door with a look of confusion, the pale-skinned succubus Yi Lin eagerly introduced him:

"Yali and I finished cleaning yesterday and got hooked on watching TV. We discovered a cooking show, so we followed along and practiced. After a whole night of failures, we finally achieved great success! We came to invite you to taste it!"

"Yes! Master! It's all freshly made! Still steaming hot!"

The wheat-skinned Yali echoed with anticipation.

"Hmm... you didn't add anything strange in these, did you?"

Under the hopeful gaze of the two succubus maids, Wang Zhifan reached out to accept the food they prepared. But he had to admit, whether it was the fried egg or the toasted bread slice, they all had visible issues. If he didn't know how loyal these two were, he would have directly refused.

"I only added oil and salt to the egg."

Yi Lin immediately replied.

"I didn't add anything to the bread slices, but I personally cut them."

Yali quickly answered.

"Alright... let me have a taste."

Wang Zhifan then picked up the chopsticks Yi Lin brought and started to taste. His appetite was quite large now, and his appetite was good. He picked up a piece of fried egg and took a bite, finding the taste not as bad as he imagined, then quickly devoured it. As for the toasted bread slice, although Yali had toasted it a bit dark, the wheat aroma was still present, with a special charred fragrance, making it not so bad to eat.

"Not bad! Judging by the standards of a first attempt, what you made is quite great! It deserves encouragement! Since you have an interest in studying cooking, I'll go out later to buy more ingredients to stock the freezer for you to experiment with."

After quickly finishing his meal, Wang Zhifan generously praised the two succubus maids. He hadn't instructed them to take responsibility for this aspect, but he was unexpectedly given a pleasant surprise by their initiative, even if their first attempt was far from perfect.

"Great!"

"We were worried you might be upset! Now we're relieved!"

The two maids were overjoyed by his response and cheerfully took away the dishes he finished to clean.

"Maybe in the future, they might really solve my dining issues... Having subordinates with the ability to learn indeed shows great potential."

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan felt in his heart that creating these intelligent creatures was indeed a wise choice.

But just as he was preparing to go out to completely fill his stomach, a faint, barely noticeable voice suddenly appeared in his mind, making him frown.

"Lord... save me..."

"Lord... save me..."

...

This voice directly appearing in his mind was not an auditory hallucination but came from that village woman believer he added in the Wuji Sect World yesterday! It meant she was praying to him for help!

"Speechless... why does this woman constantly find trouble?"

Wang Zhifan instinctively wanted to block out the aggravating voice. As the object of faith, he could easily do that, but after a brief thought, he decided not to ignore the plea of his current only human believer.

Even though she hasn't developed more believers for me yet, it's only been a short time, and she's already in trouble... Hopefully, she's really in great danger; otherwise, I'll completely give up on her.

Considering that she was crucial to the development of his future faith endeavors, helping her was a necessary exploration of the path. Wang Zhifan took out the Guest Minister Token and entered the world where she was located.

Upon arrival, he found himself by the river he had left earlier, but the woman was nowhere in sight. His faith link with her guided him to a direction farther into the mountains.

Perhaps due to their physical proximity now, Wang Zhifan could not only hear the clearer pleas of that village woman but could also follow the trail back, observing her surroundings through their faith connection.

This was a very unique observational perspective, neither relying on human senses nor extraordinary perception, more aligned with the divine oversight imagined by humans.

As Wang Zhifan observed from above, he saw a petite woman locked in a wooden cage by a group of villagers. This woman was the believer he had saved yesterday, now praying with fear in the cage, hands clasped together. Outside the cage, separated by some distance, stood a large group of villagers pointing and murmuring, with an old woman wielding bells and red ribbons jumping nervously in front of the cage, seemingly conducting some ritual.

"She's a demon woman! I'm sure! Er Ya had lots of scars on her face! I remember clearly!"

"It's demon technique! She went out yesterday, and when she returned, all the scars on her face were gone. She must have been bewitched! She's no longer the real Er Ya! She's a demon!"

"What a sin! Er Ya lost her parents when she was little, and her looks were ruined after she grew up a bit. Who would've thought she'd be bewitched by a demon now! Luckily, we have Miss Zhao here! She'll fix her up!"

"Look at her muttering about some 'Lord' now! She must be enchanted by a demon! It's outrageous! Demons dare to call themselves 'Lord' now, how bold!"

...

"Heaven's blessings, earth's blessings! All demons and ghosts, get away! All demons and ghosts, withdraw quickly!"

...

The cacophony filled the surroundings, making Wang Zhifan, as he observed all this, feel his blood pressure rising.

"What a bunch of insolent villagers?! I worked hard to save a person as a model for others, and instead of worshipping, you're suspecting the person I saved has turned into a demoness? And that I'm a demon?! I damn..."

This absurd reality made Wang Zhifan so angry that smoke might as well have been coming out of his head. He had originally hoped the woman he saved could bring him more believers, but not only did the number not increase, she was pushed into an abyss! What a messed-up predicament!

In a surge of anger, he immediately urged the Red Deer Horse beneath him to soar up, shooting straight toward the intended direction.

At the same time, in the rural village he had just observed with divine oversight, Miss Zhao, who had been jumping around the wooden cage, quickly stopped fluttering the bell and red ribbons, starting to sway and mutter with her eyes closed:

"Spirit decree... punish with flames! Burn with fierce fire... remove all demons!"

Just as the old woman finished speaking, someone nearby brought bundles of dry twigs and placed them around the wooden cage. Someone else approached with a torch, clearly intending to burn the village woman inside to ashes.

"Lord... Lord! Save this young woman! Save this young woman!"

Realizing she was extremely close to death, the village woman's face turned pale with fear in the wooden cage, but even then, she did not forget to pray to her faith, repeatedly pleading with hands clasped inside the cage. Clearly, her faith, although short-lived, was firm.

"Look at this demon woman! Facing death and still calling for some 'Lord' to save her! Seriously hilarious!"

"No worries! Granny Zhao's specialty is burning all demons and monsters! Guarantee to burn this demoness to ashes, never to deceive others again!"

"Even Granny Zhao can't restore her! We have no choice but to burn her!"

...

As the excited or indifferent discussions among onlookers continued, someone else brought a huge bundle of dry grass and stuffed it into the woodpile, marking the final preparation step for the burning. It signaled the village woman's impending doom, to be reduced to ashes.

But just at that moment, a burly man astride a chestnut red horse came galloping from the outside, forcefully knocking down someone holding a torch ready to ignite the grass.

"Bold villagers! How dare you gather to bully a helpless woman! This infuriates me!"

The horseback man forcefully intruded and shouted loudly. His booming voice made the ground tremble slightly.
