Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts... This kind of thinking is indeed the majority. However, the skeletal girl simply stood there quietly.
The trench coat twirled, and a hand emerged from the sleeve, its pale, slender bones grasping the retracted, two-foot-long slender sword.
The firelight flickered around her, and no one knew what she was thinking. Hu Tao, the chief constable of the Six Doors, grabbed a lit torch.
The torches, wrapped with oil, emitted wisps of black smoke as they burned.
He threw the torch forward. Whoosh!
The woodpile was set ablaze.
More torches, following his lead, were thrown into the woodpile.
The oil poured on first created blue flame patterns, causing the entire pile of firewood to burn fiercely.
The monster, bound and restrained by numerous hooks and iron chains that had been prepared beforehand, let out a shrill scream.
"You're a monster too... You'll die a horrible death too, hahaha, you'll end up like me sooner or later... hahaha, it blames its own destruction on the skeletal girl who was originally a 'monster' just like it."
Therefore, before dying, she uttered a wicked curse. The skeletal girl stood there, motionless.
Until the monster and the pieces he left behind turned into eerie black charcoal in the raging fire, and then burned further until they scattered into ashes.
The fire was still burning when everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Some people glanced furtively at the "Hundred Bone Heroine".
"Thank you, young lady!" Hu Tao turned around and bowed to the skeletal girl in the pink trench coat. "If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't have been able to get rid of this monster."
"What are your plans next, young lady?"
Ye Liuxiang said coldly, "What happens next is none of my business! This is not my home, and I probably won't come here again." She turned around and slowly walked out of the circle.
Some constables and county soldiers looked at Chief Constable Hu Tao, and only stepped aside after Hu Tao nodded.
Ye Liuxiang turned her back to the flickering flames, walked out of the crowd, and into the dark and deep night. Some people were finally relieved to hear the skeletal girl say that she would never come to Anjun again.
They're willing to believe she's a good person... but before she's a good person, she's first and foremost a monster!
"Boss," someone rushed towards Hu Tao, "we've found the place where those children were being held. According to the information we got from the guys who were holding them, there are two more children on their way."
"Luckily we arrived in time; if we had been two days later, it would have been too late."
Hu Tao let out a breath and then asked, "How is the battle going at the Flying Flood Gang's headquarters?"
An officer from the Zhechong Prefecture said, "Chief Constable, rest assured. There's a captain leading the team over there. Not a single member of the Feihong Gang will escape."
Hu Tao nodded and looked at Murong Die: "Miss Die, you all stay here and watch. After it's burned, you need to check it again, including the ashes."
Make sure there's not a single crumb left.
"I'll head to other places first to quell the unrest in the city, and make sure the Flying Flood Gang strongholds outside the city are safe." Murong Die nodded and said, "You go ahead and do your work, I'll keep an eye on things here."
They led the chivalrous heroes and heroines of Anjun to remain here, allowing the Six Doors to withdraw first and deal with other matters.
riot.

"Zheng Wei was reduced to ashes and died a violent death."
"After Ye Liuxiang left the scene, Murong Die, unaware that Ye Liuxiang belonged to the same Tianxie Sect as herself, secretly harbored murderous intent, intending to eliminate future troubles for the future development of the Tianxie Sect, but still pressed down."
Chief Constable Hu Tao asked Murong Die to lead the righteous path of Anjun to continue guarding the scene while he went elsewhere. Murong Die wanted to meet with the Evil Lord in secret, but agreed to avoid arousing suspicion from the Six Doors and the righteous path.
Fu Hai felt a little numb looking at the prompts in the spy window!
These clues confirm that the monster is truly dead and cannot rise again. But has Sister Butterfly harbored murderous intent towards Xiaoye?
Thinking about it carefully, it's likely that Sister Die wasn't the only one who harbored murderous intent at the scene, but ultimately she didn't act. In a sense, it's really not their fault. Wasn't Lingyue initially terrified and almost collapsed? Even a carefree girl like Yuelan deliberately found a bowl to smash, let alone the others. However, this system tends to misinterpret things when it comes to the Heavenly Evil Sect.
They say that Miss Butterfly was carrying out her mission as a spy for the Heavenly Evil Sect to eliminate the "heroic thief" Ye Liuxiang.
In reality, just like everyone else, she couldn't help but see Xiaoye as a monster because she found her so strange. She subconsciously developed a sense of rejection and found it difficult to see this "monster" as a good person.
That's how it should be! Mm-hmm!
It couldn't possibly be Xiaoye's comment, "Your man is very succulent," that provoked her murderous intent, could it? That's unlikely.
Sister Butterfly, you and Little Night are really family.
They're not just family, they should be like sisters, it's just that one of them entered through the main hall and the other through the back door.
Ugh! Never mind, even if Sister Butterfly sees Xiaoye again next time, Xiaoye won't be the same anymore, she probably won't recognize her. What does it have to do with my lovely little Xiaoye if she harbors murderous intent towards the White Bone Demoness?
At this moment, Little Night will follow his previous instructions, openly and honestly climb the city wall, and leap into the air.
Under the watchful eyes of the soldiers stationed on the city walls, they left Anjun, never to return. Then they secretly went back to Xiaodiancang Mountain.
Although leaving in public doesn't necessarily mean they won't come back, it does offer some psychological comfort to others.
Fu Guan closed the spy window and sighed softly... Xiao Ye was so kind, a true chivalrous young heroine. But reality is often so cruel.
With nothing else to do for the time being, Fu Hai slept there fully clothed. When he woke up, it was already light, so he went outside and stretched.
Seeing that the streets were already bustling with people, the ordinary people, despite the storm that had struck the previous night, were unaware of what had happened. After getting up and seeing everything as usual, they continued their peaceful lives.
"Fu Lang!" With a soft call, Butterfly Girl walked towards him with graceful steps and a swaying body.
"Sister Butterfly, what happened to the monster?" Fu Hai, of course, pretended not to know. "It's been killed!"
Murong Die felt a renewed sense of pity when she thought about how, in order to rid Anjun of an evil spirit, he was forced to sacrifice his beauty and spend time in a dark room with that white bone demoness.
She immediately and gently embraced him, letting the poor young shopkeeper bury his head in her full bosom. She tried her best to soothe his wounded heart with her warm embrace.
Chapter 79 Xiaoye only feels sorry for her brother
“Sister Die!” Fu Hai said, “You’ve been busy all night, you must be tired. Why don’t you go and rest first? You don’t need to keep me company.” “It’s alright!” Murong Die said, “The rest are all matters concerning the Six Doors. Let me keep you company now.”
Fu Hai chuckled, "Since Die'er insists on coming to keep me company, there's nothing I can do." Murong Die gave him a charming glance and decided to listen to him for the next few rounds.
That morning was naturally filled with passion. Fu Hai was both a father and a husband, and he was having a wonderful time.
Murong Die was finally at ease after solving the case of the mastermind behind the series of murders and learning from the Six Doors about the White Bone Demoness leaving the city overnight.
Finally, they could properly celebrate the Lantern Festival. In the afternoon, Murong Die saw Fu Hai off out of the city.
"We also need to patrol at night to prevent any remnants of the Flying Flood Gang from suddenly causing trouble."
Murong Die looked at Fu Haiduo and said, "I'll come to the inn to see you again in a couple of days and give you another gift." Fu Hai smiled and said, "This is already enough for today."
Murong Die said, "It will ultimately benefit your Dragon Claw Sect; you'll see when the time comes." The two then separated there.
Fu Hai left the city and returned to the inn. He didn't see Sister Qiu Ying, but Junior Sister Ling Yue was there alone.
Seeing her senior brother enter through the inn's main entrance, Song Lingyue stood up from behind the counter and said, "Senior brother! Xiaoye came back last night, why are you so late?" Fu Hai replied, "Miss Die had some business to attend to, so I kept her company for a while." He then changed the subject, "Where's Sister Qiu Ying?"
“There’s nothing much going on at the inn. I’ll let Sister Qiu Ying rest this afternoon. I’ll stay here and keep an eye on things.” Song Lingyue walked around the counter to his side. “Senior brother, have you eaten? Do you want me to get you something to eat?”
"We already had lunch in the city!" Fu Hai thought for a moment, "Xiao Ye didn't say anything after she came back, did she?"
Song Lingyue looked up at him and said, "When she first came back, she seemed a little downcast. I thought to myself, after all, she helped everyone get rid of that monster and saved many people."
"In the end, I could only leap over the city wall alone in front of everyone, and I was still a little sad."
"Fortunately, Yue Lan talked to her, and she slowly got better. By the way, this morning, Xiao Ye wrote down the secret manual for the Bright Moon Meteor Sword and gave it to me at noon. I'm still reading it now."
Song Lingyue turned around and took out the sword technique manual of "Bright Moon Meteor Sword" from behind the counter. "Why don't you take it and learn it first, Senior Brother..."
Fu Hai laughed, "Xiao Ye's Bright Moon Meteor Sword requires reaching the eighth level first, so even if I got it now, it would be useless. You should learn it first... What about Yue Lan? Isn't she more interested in new martial arts?"
Song Lingyue said, "She's still practicing her Shattered Dream Power. She's only interested in physical techniques now." She added, "Senior brother, you've been busy all night. Go and rest. I'll look after things here!"
Fu Hai nodded, then passed through the inn's backyard, entered the mountain gate, and started walking uphill. As he walked, he thought about how he had secretly helped the government eliminate the monster that was threatening the entire prefecture. If this system were even slightly normal, it should have given him a bunch of points and benefits, right? But instead, it hadn't even given him a small task.
However, this is a system for creating chaos and evil, not a system for punishing the wicked. Normally, keeping that monster alive is necessary to create chaos.
I helped the government and the "righteous path" eliminate it, and the system didn't deduct points from my score. Isn't that already giving me a lot of face?
However, it immediately occurred to me that if the monster wasn't male but a beautiful woman, this lousy system might just give me a mission to secretly subdue her.
So, this is actually the ultimate... what system, right?
"Brother!" Xiao Ye's voice called from the mountainside above.
Fu Hai looked up and saw Xiao Ye standing at the top of the stone steps, waving down at her.
At this moment, Xiao Ye had changed into a light green dress with white flowers, the same one Ling Yue had worn. She materialized again, and her jet-black hair was styled into a beautiful snake bun.
The stone steps were wide, but the wild worms on both sides hadn't been removed for a long time, and they had grown tall and squeezed into the middle.
The steps were clean because Lingyue would sweep them from top to bottom regularly, and there were no weeds or branches piled up. A small path on the side led to the bamboo house and courtyard to the west, where Sister Qiu Ying lived.
Little Night stood above, the mountain breeze causing her hair and light green dress to sway together in the wind.
The feeling of the girl waving and calling from the mountainside after returning from outside was a long-lost novelty for Fu Hai. Lingyue and Yuelan used to do this too, but now they've grown up and become quite shrewd.
Fu Hai climbed to the mountainside, where his little sister Xiao Ye stood before him, looking up at him. The spirit snake swayed gently in the wind, beautiful and captivating.
"This is how Sister Lingyue styled my hair," Xiaoye said softly.
Fu Hai had guessed it; Xiao Ye hadn't combed her hair in many years. It was already good enough that Yue Lan could make her two purses; any slightly more complicated or pretty hairstyles were all thanks to her senior sister.
Sister Qiu Ying is completely unpretentious; she looks like an ordinary person, nothing special.
An ordinary hairstyle, an ordinary dress… She clearly has a pretty face, but her entire outfit is dressed very plainly. I didn't think anything of it before, but now I realize it's too deliberate!
"Xiao Ye, you were naughty yesterday!" Fu Hai still had to say something to her. "Why did you go and provoke Miss Die?" After last night, they were supposed to be strangers. They could find another opportunity to get to know each other again and maybe they could even become like sisters.
As a result, you've provoked Butterfly Girl to want to kill you again. "Really?" Xiaoye raised her sleeve and gathered it to her cheek.
She was petite, and Lingyue's dress was a bit too long for her, both in sleeves and hem. But only Lingyue's dress fit her barely.
If it were moon blue, the collar would be too loose for her. "Still dare to say no?" Fu Hai raised his hand and tapped her head.
He felt that no matter what, Guan Shang's seductive movements in the car last night, and that comment "your man is so moist," were all too much. Although he couldn't resist... it's really hard for a man to resist this kind of thing.
“Brother and that Butterfly Girl seem to have a very good relationship.” Xiao Ye turned her face and followed beside him. “Even though she has such a good relationship with you, brother, she still let me take you hostage. She doesn’t seem to care about you that much.”
She slightly lowered the sleeves that extended over her arms and peeked at her brother: "That Butterfly Girl won't be angry, will she?" She lowered her head, her face full of unease and grievance: "It's my fault, Xiaoye was just feeling sorry for you, brother!"
