After the ritual was completed, Song Fanze said to the girl's corpse on the ground, "Please rest in peace, benefactor."
The coroner's findings revealed that the girl had numerous wounds of varying sizes on her body, indicating that she had been pushed off a cliff.
Chi Qiangwei looked up at the Moon River, towards Ming City.
Upon returning, their attention turned to the city lord's daughter and that Miss Liu.
Xiuxiu was still a little scared when she recalled being kidnapped and didn't want to think about it.
The city lord's wife comforted her daughter, then came out and spoke to Chi Qiangwei and the others.
“My daughter told me a little about it when she first came back. She said that she wanted to eat osmanthus cake from the street that day, so she secretly left the mansion in the afternoon with the help of her maid. She was kidnapped on her way back.”
Upon hearing this, Chi Qiangwei remained silent.
The city lord's wife said, "A girl died in the Moon River today, and I am deeply saddened."
She also has a daughter and can understand the feelings of parents who have lost their daughter.
"But don't worry, my husband will definitely do his best in this matter and bring those evil people to justice."
Her husband was the city lord, and this incident was within the city lord's responsibilities.
In the past few days, many more young girls have gone missing in Shicheng. The city lord's house has been besieged by the people, and the city lord is pacing back and forth in a state of panic.
At night, there were only a few scattered pedestrians on the street.
The deaths and disappearances of the girls have thrown the people of Stone City into a state of panic.
At this time of year, there used to be many girls walking and playing on the streets.
Now, looking out over the street, there isn't a single girl in sight.
Chi Qiangwei and Song Fanze walked slowly down the street.
Song Fanze was wearing a hat, and his bald head was very conspicuous.
Chi Qiangwei looked at the hat she had personally put on him and thought he looked a little ridiculous.
Song Fanze was very uncomfortable with the hat on his head, but he had no choice but to wear it in order to avoid being seen.
Chi Qiangwei wasn't wearing her usual bright red dress tonight; she was wearing a black dress instead.
She was used to wearing red dresses and wasn't used to this black dress at first.
"Song Fanze, with you dressed like this, I suddenly find you more approachable."
Song Fanze tried to put his hands together in prayer, but Chi Qiangwei quickly stopped him.
"Song Fanze, don't reveal your identity as a monk. Try to do less of these things tonight, and also, try to chant 'Amitabha' less often."
Chi Qiangwei was very close to him at this moment, and the sound of her breathing fell on his ear.
Song Fanze took a step back, his expression somewhat stiff.
Chi Qiangwei saw him trying to clasp his hands together again and glared at him, "Why won't you listen to advice?"
Upon seeing this, Song Fanzhe quickly lowered his hand.
"Sister Rose!"
Just then, daisies and morning glories appeared behind them.
Their eyes lit up when they saw Chi Qiangwei, whom they hadn't seen for several days.
They heard that there would be lanterns in Shicheng tonight, and excitedly ran out, but they didn't see any lanterns.
The owner there told me that the lantern festival has been cancelled this year.
They were disappointed and about to go back when they saw Sister Rose, which was a pleasant surprise.
Chi Qiangwei was also surprised to see them.
But the daisies and morning glories quickly turned their attention to Song Fanze.
"Sister Rose," said the little daisy.
Chi Qiangwei said, "He is Master Fanze, whom I told you about before."
Upon hearing this, the daisies and morning glories' eyes lit up simultaneously.
He is none other than the eminent monk, Master Fanze.
Whether it was their imagination or not, Master Fanze gave them a familiar feeling, and they felt a sense of warmth and closeness to him.
Daisy scratched her head and said, "Sister Rose, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."
Chi Qiangwei laughed, "You've all lived in the spiritual energy barrier since you were little, how could you possibly have seen Song Fanze?"
The daisy didn't refute this; perhaps it really was just her imagination.
"Sister Rose, what are you doing here?"
Chi Qiangwei: "Arrest them."
Daisy's eyes lit up. "Are they the bad guys who catch those missing girls?"
Chi Qiangwei nodded, "Mm."
Little Daisy: "Sister Rose, we can help you too."
Chi Qiangwei sighed, "It's so dangerous outside, and you're still running around here at night."
The little daisy made excuses for herself: "We are demons, not humans. If they dare to come and capture me, my sister Xiaoqian and I will definitely beat them to a pulp."
Looking into Daisy's innocent eyes, Chi Qiangwei said helplessly, "You two can stay with us for now."
Just then, they heard a faint noise.
Song Fanze: "Quickly hide."
The next second, the four of them hid behind the eaves.
There were no pedestrians on the street at this time.
A group of masked men dressed in black flew down from the rooftop, each carrying a sharp scythe.
An unusual, dark aura lingered around the sickle.
As Chi Qiangwei was trying to guess who those people were, the last few men in black appeared, each carrying an unconscious girl on their shoulders.
The leader of the men in black glanced around and then gestured for them to leave immediately.
Upon seeing this, Chi Qiangwei quickly rushed out.
The man in black's expression immediately changed upon seeing a red figure appear. "A demon!"
They escaped Chi Qiangwei's attack.
Chi Qiangwei said coldly, "Release those girls for me!"
The leader of the men in black sized the woman up and down, a look of disdain in his eyes. "Just a little flower fairy, yet she dares to try and steal our people!"
The next second, the man in black launched an attack, heading straight for the other party.
He swung his scythe, and a cloud of black mist appeared on it, striking towards his opponent.
Countless petals flew around Chi Qiangwei, gathering into a curved bow. The arrow on the bow flew out swiftly and collided with the scythe.
Sparks flew as the two weapons clashed, evenly matched. Gradually, the scythe began to retreat, and cold sweat beaded on the black-clad man's forehead.
Upon seeing this, Chi Qiangwei swiftly sent out a branch from her sleeve, and the arrow formed from the petals suddenly pierced through the scythe.
The sickle flashed and fell swiftly, hitting the wall and embedding itself in the corner.
The man in black was forced back by the shock, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
"You are no ordinary flower fairy!"
Chi Qiangwei's body contains fragments of an ancient artifact, which makes her cultivation speed extremely fast and her strength several times greater than that of ordinary flower fairies.
Then, seeing that he couldn't defeat her alone, the leader of the men in black took a few steps back.
The next second, the other men in black, each wielding a scythe, slowly approached Chi Qiangwei and surrounded her.
Seeing this, the daisies and morning glories quickly appeared, saying, "You guys ganging up on one person, how shameless!"
The two of them joined the battle.
The two sides were still unable to determine a winner.
The leader of the men in black underestimated the flower fairy and was looking for an opportunity to leave.
