The mechanism was activated, and a door opened in the wall.

"Li Shu".

Bai Sang called out to Li Shu.

"If you kill someone, how will you go to university?"

Li Shu's forward-rushing steps came to a halt.

"But."

A look of conflict and pain flashed across her face.

"But I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!"

Black flames shot up from behind her.

“I’ll help you, I’ll help you. You study hard, take good care of your grandmother, and take her away from here.”

"In the future, you must help more girls like you who have been persecuted and deceived."

Bai Sang's voice was gentle yet firm.

"Trust me, leave these to me, and go find your acceptance letter and restore your rightful status."

The flames on Li Shu's body gradually dissipated.

She gave Bai Sang a deep look, then turned and left.

Upon entering the dark room behind the wall, Bai Sang finally met Li Xiaomeng.

She was short and plump, and was showing off a plate of vegetables with gusto.

Hearing someone approaching, she mumbled something indistinctly.

"Why are you so late? I still want to eat, hurry up."

Bai Sang didn't move, but pulled back Song Xiaofu, who was itching to eat the vegetables.

"Li Xiaomeng, you're here! It's so lively today, aren't you going to go out and see?"

The unfamiliar voice made Li Xiaomeng tense up immediately.

She suddenly stood up and looked at Bai Sang.

"Who are you?"

"I'm your high school classmate."

Bai Sang spoke with a faint smile.

Li Xiaomeng spoke subconsciously.

"Nonsense, I never went to high school, so where would I get any high school classmates?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Sang's smile became even brighter.

"You didn't even finish high school, how are you going to go to university?"

"Someone who didn't finish high school actually managed to become the top scorer in the province. You're really something else, like a cow sitting on an electric wire, incredibly awesome."

Li Xiaomeng's face clearly showed panic.

"You, you're talking nonsense. I just don't want to acknowledge you as my poor classmate. Stop babbling on here."

"Li Xiaomeng, aren't you afraid that your secret will be exposed when you get to college?"

Bai Sang approached step by step, the dagger already in his hand.

"What are you afraid of? My dad has found someone for me."

Bai Sang couldn't help but laugh when she saw Li Xiaomeng's completely unrepentant attitude.

"If it doesn't make sense, then let's not talk about it anymore."

As they were talking, the arguing outside suddenly stopped.

"We are reporters from Xinghua Daily..."

These words caused Li Xiaomeng's expression to change drastically.

Bai Sang didn't even stop her, letting her rush out.

Bai Sang's eyes sharpened, she picked something up from the ground and followed them out.

"I'm Li Shu, interview me, interview me!"

She rushed up to the reporter, raising her hand excitedly, with bright green vegetable leaves still clinging to her teeth.

The reporter glanced at Li Xiaomeng, then at Li Shu.

"No, we interviewed Li Shu, and this is the real Li Shu."

As these words were spoken, a phoenix cry rang out.

The black phoenix soared into the sky once more.

This time, however, the black phoenix circled once in mid-air, its black color gradually fading to reveal golden wings.

"The day the phoenix cries will be the day the impasse is broken."

"Xiaofu, we'll be able to go back soon."

Song Xiaofu nodded without saying a word.

When the phoenix completely transformed into gold, all the villagers who had been controlled by the female warriors let out painful howls.

"This shouldn't be, this shouldn't be."

"How could a girl be allowed to control a phoenix?"

"Village chief, village chief, you have to think of something quickly, our village is doomed if this continues."

The reporters astutely seized upon this statement.

"Why can't girls control the phoenix? The country is now advocating gender equality, how can you say that?"

The villagers simply started cursing.

"You outsiders know nothing. In our Fengming Village, the phoenix can only be a man."

“Li Shu is obviously uncontrollable; Xiao Meng is the only one who can be obedient.”

"What do you know!"

The villagers were still cursing.

Bai Sang, however, looked at the group of pitiful women.

"And what about them?"

She held up the swaddling clothes in her hands; inside was the shriveled corpse of an infant.

"What about these innocent children?"

The madwoman suddenly rushed forward, snatched the swaddling clothes, and screamed pitifully.

"my daughter!"

The villagers, however, scoffed at it.

"they?"

"What can women in big cities do? Just lure them back and beat them up."

"Aren't they all dressed up so extravagantly just to seduce men? There are plenty of men in our village, aren't there?"

"Exactly! What use are women besides working and giving birth?"

[Oh my god, what is this thing? Damn it, they all deserve to die!]

[Was the baby girl killed and thrown into the ancestral hall?]

[To kill a baby girl from one's own village, yet lure someone else's daughter to suffer the same fate—these people are truly wicked.]

[Host, please make sure these guys get what they deserve!]

Each sentence not only enraged the audience in the live stream, but also made the women present furious.

Lin Daiyu was about to give the order.

A reporter brandished the heavy telephone in his hand.

“I called a police officer I know, and they arrived very soon.”

In that instant, Bai Sang saw despair on the faces of the villagers.

The villagers, who were under tight guard, lay on the ground as if they had lost the light.

Li Shu, however, had already organized all her materials and was standing next to the reporter with her grandmother's help.

When the police took everyone away, Bai Sang saw a distorted scene before her eyes.
