The village chief looked at the prosperity of other villages, stared at their contemptuous eyes, and his hatred grew day by day.

One day, he was mocked by the upstream village chief, that fat man with a full belly, who actually said the reason Niu Village had no deaths despite the drought was because... their fate was humble, and the heavens wouldn't take them!!

That was his greatest achievement, the thing he was most proud of in his life, and he would never allow anyone to tarnish it.

So, the village chief bought some poison. He walked to the stream, planning to let the poison flow downstream, and for this, he specifically ordered that no one was allowed near the stream today.

However, someone disobeyed his order.

When he arrived at the stream, A-Chang was there washing clothes, the river water splashing slightly onto her hair, as she laughed softly and shook her hair.

The village chief, holding the poison, had to hide in the shadows, and A-Chang soon finished washing and left.

Seeing A-Chang leave, the village chief hurriedly approached, just about to toss the poison into the river when suddenly... moonlight shone down, casting a crystal-like glimmer onto his face.

Lowering his head, the village chief's eyes were filled with ecstasy and greed..

He saw... a strand of hair... silver!

Indeed, he picked up the silver, bit it with his teeth, it was real silver!

"A-Chang's hair... can turn into silver!!" The village chief looked at the silver in his hand, utterly shocked, as if he were seeing a vast treasure vault.

But then, he calmed down.

A woman whose fallen hair could transform into gold and silver, how could she be an ordinary woman?

Such a being was a fairy, a divine maiden!!

"It is the heavens, the heavens were moved by my achievements, so they sent a fairy to live in my village!!"

"Yes!! It must be this way, it must be this way!" the village chief thought excitedly.

He even forgot about the poison, trembling all over with excitement, holding onto the silver.

The village chief believed A-Chang was a fairy sent to save their village because his great achievement moved the heavens, and they sent her to bestow fortune upon them.

He returned, keeping this secret in his heart, thinking that if he just waited a little longer, A-Chang would certainly bring wealth to the village.

But this wait turned into an entire year, and A-Chang lived like ordinary people, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, with no miracles befalling the village or making it prosperous.

Finally, the village chief couldn't endure it any longer; he remembered the elders saying that cows were the best offerings to the gods.

He decided to sacrifice his oldest ox to offer to A-Chang, hoping she would grant them a reward.

As he sharpened the knife, the old ox knelt down, shedding tears, and unbelievably, it spoke human words.

"Master, I've worked hard for you every day, do you really have the heart to kill me?"

The village chief looked at the old ox, his reluctance swallowed by greed: "Ox, I'm not doing this for myself, but for the entire village, for all the villagers."

"So, my ox, I can only sacrifice you."

With that, the village chief was about to deliver a strike, however... the old ox's next words halted his butcher's knife.

"Master, that is a great fairy. If you reveal her identity, she will leave the village, and you will gain nothing. Niu Village will remain the poorest village, and you'll still be the laughingstock among the village chiefs."

"But if you listen to me, I can make the entire Niu Village the most prosperous village; you will enjoy the blessings of the immortal, establish your own kingdom, and attain eternal life."

The old ox's words completely ignited what little rationality the village chief had left.

The village chief crazily asked the old ox how to do it, and promised that starting tomorrow, Niu Village would be renamed Gongniu Village, and all oxen would cease working and enjoy people's offerings.

"Master, to keep the fairy, first, you need to surround the village entrance with a Hundred Infant Rope, making her lose her way and unable to find the exit. Let the cries of infants keep her here, make her compassionate, make her weep."

So after that day, the village chief gathered the men in the village. He didn't say much, just took out that strand of silver and then looked in the direction of Niu Er's house.

Thus, at the village entrance, a scarlet rope appeared, covered with rusty copper coins.

A-Chang, as usual, stepped out of her house, looked towards the village entrance, and suddenly covered her ears with her hands, tears rolling down her cheeks in great streams.

It seemed she heard something, saw something, sorrow filling her eyes, with copious tears falling to the ground.

And then there was a crackling sound....

As A-Chang's tears hit the ground, they shimmered with a treasure-like glow, transforming into fist-sized pearls upon landing.

The resplendent brilliance, the radiant colors, these impoverished villagers couldn't think of any words to describe it.

They only knew at that moment... they went mad!!

The men rushed out from the darkness, their eyes drowned in desire, frantically fighting over the pearls on the ground.

To snatch an extra one, they even engaged in fierce fights, their blood staining the ground crimson.

A few frail men, unable to grab any treasures, were driven to madness, their eyes reddened with urgency, and their gaze involuntarily fell on A-Chang, who stood dazedly in place.

What fairy, what divine being, in their eyes, A-Chang was a walking mountain of gold and silver!!!

They charged towards A-Chang, eyes scarlet, like beasts...

"Just give me a strand of hair, A-Chang, I just want a piece of hair!"

"A-Chang, just give some gold, your sister-in-law is really close to you!"

They roared, frenzied.

Niu Er heard the commotion outside, he rushed out, and upon seeing it all, was furious, he charged in to argue with the villagers.

But these villagers, who grew up with him, who called each other brothers, directly knocked him to the ground.

"Niu Er, how lucky you are, hiding a fairy!!"

"Damn you, we're dirt poor, and you hid the treasure at home!!"

They cursed angrily, continually beating Niu Er.

A-Chang, who was standing there all this time, seeing this scene, she ran towards Niu Er.

Her movement scared the villagers, their original greed retreating a little; this was a fairy after all, if she really fought back, how could mortals resist?

However, A-Chang just stood in front of Niu Er: "You want gold and silver, I'll give them to you, don't, don't hit him."

In A-Chang's trembling voice, her skin began to flake and peel off, and then... under the villagers' greedy eyes... mountains of gold rose.

Golden light reflected in the villagers' eyes, infinite greed devouring everything.

Turns out... this fairy, had no resistance at all...

The men simultaneously looked at the aged one, and at this moment, the village chief looked at everything before him, trembling all over with excitement.

The village chief, after all, was the village chief, he was the first to break free from the desire for wealth, money was secured, but if the village wanted to rise, what it needed was power!!

"Hehe, all these years, the village never produced a high official, rural kids are foolish huh."

"What do you say, would having a child with a fairy make them smarter..."

The village chief's eyes were stained with indescribable things, mountains of gold and silver, treasures everywhere, couldn't hide the 'desire' in those men's eyes.

Clearly, at this moment, half of A-Chang's skin had already flaked off, her appearance frightening, but... that was a fairy!!!

A noble being only heard of in stories, if one could have a child with a fairy...

They would willingly fall into the abyss!
