Chapter 249: Song Jiaojiao’s Death
Recently, Qingshan City has suddenly seen a number of cases of young male Beast Tamers going missing. At first, Huang Xiaohua didn’t pay much attention. After all, the world is not peaceful now, and it’s normal for some Beast Tamers to go out of the city to seek other opportunities.
As long as it’s only a few people, it’s not a big deal.
It wasn’t until she discovered that the number of missing young male Beast Tamers had reached over twenty that she realized this was no small case. This was likely the biggest case in Qingshan City in the past decade! She immediately reported it to the City Lord, Song Tiantian. Song Tiantian was furious and immediately ordered Huang Xiaohua to investigate thoroughly, and imposed a gag order.
At this time, a rumor began to spread throughout Qingshan City that someone from the City Lord’s mansion was secretly capturing young male Beast Tamers to refine pills. The city was in a panic, and the Beast Tamers strengthened their vigilance.
For a time, the entire Qingshan City was shrouded in fear…
Song Tiantian was very angry. The rumors were too outrageous, and they were even dragging her into it. It was a pity that the System was still asleep; otherwise, if the System investigated, everything would be clear.
Song Tiantian then offered a high reward, offering ten portions of Five-Star Ultimate Supreme Beast Food, with double rewards for anyone who solved the case and found the mastermind within three days.
This news sparked Song Ruyu’s interest; the reward was very substantial.
This Five-Star Beast Food is made using Eight-star Fierce Beasts.
Such a reward is very generous.
Leng Qing and Huang Xiaohua were already planning to thoroughly investigate this case, and the reward made them even more eager.
Huang Xiaohua was very passionate about the job of investigation and solving cases. During her investigation, she found many clues and quickly identified a Beast Tamer, who was Song Jiaojiao.
In her investigation, she discovered that Song Jiaojiao was a Beast Tamer who had only recently arrived in Qingshan City. Her cultivation was that of a Seven-star Beast Tamer, but she had interacted with all the missing young male Beast Tamers. Song Jiaojiao must have some unspeakable secret!
Huang Xiaohua now understood a bit about human relationships and knew that this was not something she could handle alone. So, she found Leng Qing and Song Ruyu. After discussion, they decided that the three of them would investigate the case together, and the reward would be split equally among them.
Leng Qing and Song Ruyu would take seven portions of Beast Food, and she would take one less, taking six portions.
After all, solving the case within three days came with double rewards.
So, with the help of Song Ruyu and Leng Qing, she began investigating Song Jiaojiao. If Song Jiaojiao were not Song Tiantian’s younger sister, they would have arrested Song Jiaojiao directly. But for now, they could only report the situation to Song Tiantian first.
Song Tiantian was somewhat surprised to hear this news. Song Jiaojiao was still alive and had become a Seven-star Beast Tamer. Since there was suspicion, Song Jiaojiao should naturally be invited for questioning. She would not show favoritism to anyone.
In the interrogation room, Song Tiantian sat solemnly in the main seat. To her left was Huang Xiaohua, with Leng Qing standing beside Huang Xiaohua. To her right was Song Ruyu, while Song Jiaojiao was tied to a pillar in the middle of the interrogation room. Song Ruyu was looking at her with impatience.
“Song Jiaojiao, according to my investigation, the last known locations of the missing male Beast Tamers were all at bars, and they all went out with you. Why did you kill those male Beast Tamers?” Huang Xiaohua said to Song Jiaojiao with some disgust.
“You trash, what right do you have to question me! I want to see Song Tiantian!” Song Jiaojiao said disdainfully.
Song Jiaojiao felt a little guilty, but she thought that since Song Tiantian was the City Lord of Qingshan City, she would surely favor her own younger sister, so she felt more at ease.
Song Tiantian was somewhat angered to see Song Jiaojiao dare to speak to her like that. Her gaze towards Song Jiaojiao grew colder. Seeing this, Song Ruyu was startled and quickly stepped forward to mediate.
“City Lord, please leave this case to me! I will definitely make Song Jiaojiao tell the truth.”
Song Ruyu was actually very curious how Song Jiaojiao, an ordinary person, could become a Seven-star Beast Tamer so quickly. Song Tiantian, with the help of Dr. Bai, only managed to become an Eight-star Beast Tamer. Song Jiaojiao must have had some fortuitous encounter.
Moreover, Song Ruyu knew about the relationship between Song Jiaojiao and Song Tiantian, and knew that these two sisters were somewhat at odds. So, she wanted to take this opportunity to make Song Tiantian look at her with new eyes, and at the same time, obtain her own opportunity from Song Jiaojiao.
“Then I’ll leave it to you.” Song Tiantian looked at Song Ruyu with some surprise, not expecting Song Ruyu to be so proactive. If Song Ruyu could handle it well, she could also give her some rewards.
“Song Tiantian, you’re really not going to help me anymore? I’m your own sister!” Song Jiaojiao said in shock as Song Tiantian was about to leave. But Song Tiantian left the interrogation room without looking back.
“Song Jiaojiao, you’d better confess honestly!” Seeing Song Jiaojiao like this, Song Ruyu became even more certain that Song Jiaojiao had done it, because she had interrogated many people, and Song Jiaojiao’s cunning was not very deep.
“I want to see Song Tiantian! She’s my own older sister! You all just wait for me!” After Song Tiantian left the interrogation room, Song Jiaojiao began to curse loudly. But she no longer dared to curse Song Tiantian casually.
Seeing this scene, Huang Xiaohua said disdainfully, “Hmph! Unrepentant!” Leng Qing, on the other hand, looked at Song Jiaojiao with some confusion.
“Speak! Why did you murder innocent Beast Tamers! What grudge do you have against them!” Song Ruyu said sternly.
“You are not qualified to interrogate me!”
Song Jiaojiao said angrily. Since Song Tiantian didn’t care about her, she would completely break ties with Song Tiantian. In that case, she no longer needed to hold back anything; even killing these people would be fine, as she could just leave afterward.
“You sluts, just you wait! After I leave! I will make your lives worse than death!”
“Slap!” Huang Xiaohua, unable to contain her anger, slapped Song Jiaojiao hard across the face.
The slap was very forceful, and two finger marks immediately appeared on Song Jiaojiao’s face.
“You… you bitch! You dare to hit me! Song Tiantian doesn’t even dare to hit my face like this!”
Song Jiaojiao glared at Huang Xiaohua fiercely, wishing she could skin and dismember her. Huang Xiaohua, on the other hand, looked disdainful, “I’ve had enough of you for a long time. Scum like you should be beaten to death!”
Song Jiaojiao was furious. She had already made up her mind that once she became a Nine-star Beast Tamer, she would kill all these people!
Thinking of this, a sinister glint flashed in Song Jiaojiao’s eyes.
She had originally wanted to give Song Tiantian another chance. If Song Tiantian had considered their sisterly bond, she would have allowed Song Tiantian to absorb the soul power of these Beast Tamers in Qingshan City, and she wouldn’t have minded protecting Song Tiantian.
But now, Song Jiaojiao glared at Huang Xiaohua fiercely. She didn’t want to tolerate it anymore. She was just a Six-star Beast Tamer, what right did she have to hit her.
“Illusion Butterfly! Kill them all for me.”
Song Jiaojiao shouted at the gray butterfly by her ear. She wanted to kill Huang Xiaohua and Song Ruyu. Upon hearing this, Song Ruyu and Huang Xiaohua’s faces changed drastically. They hadn’t expected Song Jiaojiao to dare to resist and immediately summoned their Pet Beasts.
However, Song Ruyu was not flustered. She was an Eight-star Beast Tamer, stronger than Song Jiaojiao. Moreover, Leng Qing was now a Seven-star Beast Tamer. With three against one, there was no way they could lose.
The gray butterfly flapped its wings and flew over. Seeing this, Song Jiaojiao immediately revealed a sinister smile.
“Illusion Butterfly, go, let them feel the fear of death, haha!”
“Flap flap!” Two gray Illusion Butterflies flapped their wings and flew towards Song Ruyu.
Song Ruyu summoned her black cat. This black cat was entirely black, with blood-red eyes, looking extremely ferocious. Seeing the gray butterflies, the black cat immediately swiped at them.
“Splat!” The gray butterfly was swatted to the ground of the interrogation room by a claw, its body shattering into pieces. However, one gray butterfly flew up and charged towards Song Ruyu.
Song Ruyu was greatly alarmed. She hadn’t expected this gray butterfly to be so strong. She immediately commanded the black cat to block in front of her. The black cat extended its claws to block the gray butterfly. Seeing this, the gray butterfly flapped its wings, trying to break through, but the black cat continuously blocked in front of Song Ruyu, giving it no opportunity.
Seeing this, Song Jiaojiao immediately commanded the gray butterfly to charge towards Huang Xiaohua and Leng Qing.
Leng Qing summoned her Six-tailed Silver Fox, while Huang Xiaohua summoned a giant lion. The lion’s fur was yellow.
“Thump!” The Illusion Butterfly fiercely collided with the lion. Huang Xiaohua’s Pet Beast lion was instantly torn apart, and Huang Xiaohua uncontrollably spat out a large mouthful of blood. But the next moment, the Illusion Butterfly charged towards Leng Qing.
“Be careful!” Song Ruyu shouted loudly upon seeing this. Leng Qing immediately commanded her Six-tailed Silver Fox to charge forward.
“Splat!” The Six-tailed Silver Fox fiercely collided with the gray butterfly, sending it flying.
“Bite it to death for me!” Leng Qing immediately gave the order. The Six-tailed Silver Fox saw the gray butterfly and immediately leaped up, biting it in half.
Seeing this, Song Jiaojiao’s eyes widened. She hadn’t expected her Illusion Butterfly to die; this was her trump card!
“Splat!” At this moment, Song Ruyu’s black cat suddenly rushed in front of her. The black cat tore the gray butterfly into pieces with one bite. Seeing the black cat, Song Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in terror.
“You… you can’t kill me, I’m the City Lord’s sister!”
“Splat!” Song Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in terror. She hadn’t expected Song Ruyu to actually be able to do it!
The next moment, Song Jiaojiao fell to the ground.
Seeing Song Jiaojiao fall to the ground, Song Ruyu was surprised. No matter what, Song Jiaojiao was Song Tiantian’s sister, and she hadn’t delivered a fatal blow.
Song Jiaojiao fell too quickly!
Song Ruyu put away her black cat, then cautiously walked up to Song Jiaojiao, intending to search her for any clues.
However, Song Jiaojiao’s corpse quickly began to rot, emitting a foul odor.
All three of them covered their noses in disgust.
Song Ruyu had initially suspected that Song Jiaojiao was faking her death.
“Song Jiaojiao might not have been a Seven-star Beast Tamer. Her limb reactions were too slow, and her body was very fragile, just like an ordinary person. Seven-star Beast Tamer was always what Song Jiaojiao claimed herself to be.
Besides, she didn’t participate in any battles, so no one knew her true strength.
The only powerful thing was that butterfly, but unfortunately, that butterfly had already escaped.”
Leng Qing said to Song Ruyu with some regret.
Song Ruyu’s black cat had torn apart the illusion of the gray butterfly, not its real body.
There were no remains of the gray butterfly’s corpse on the ground.
Leng Qing carefully reviewed all the case files.
Seven-star Beast Tamer was something Song Jiaojiao boasted about to others to show off her strength.
··········
Song Tiantian waited outside the detention center. When Song Tiantian saw the gray butterfly fly out, she unceremoniously threw out her treasured Soul Devouring Nail.
This thing could even deal with Nine-star Fierce Beasts, so dealing with a Seven-star Fierce Beast would be a piece of cake.
“It’s actually a Spirit Sealing Nail, what a pity! The spiritual energy of this nail has been almost depleted.”
The Illusion Butterfly also didn’t expect to be pinned by a nail casually thrown by Song Tiantian. At first, it didn’t pay much attention.
It was just a little troublesome.
But then, two more nails flew over, piercing it firmly into the ground.
“How could you have so many…”
The Illusion Butterfly wanted to say more, but the power of the three Soul Devouring Nails caused it too much pain, suppressing it to the point where it could no longer speak.
It also didn’t expect to be so unlucky. Song Ruyu’s Pet Beast happened to restrain it, and as soon as it came out, it was dealt with by Song Tiantian.
If it had known, it would have been better to fight Song Ruyu and the other two forcefully inside, perhaps it could have devoured their souls and become stronger.
But now, it was too late to regret.
Song Tiantian walked up to the Illusion Butterfly. She knew very well that Song Jiaojiao had done so many things because of the Illusion Butterfly; this butterfly was the mastermind behind it all.
Even without the System, finding the mastermind was not too difficult.
After all, Song Jiaojiao’s personality was too arrogant, and she didn’t know what it meant to be low-key.
A beautiful Seven-star Beast Tamer, constantly seeking out a bunch of Two-star and Three-star male Beast Tamers to play with.
This in itself was something that attracted attention. There were no surveillance cameras, but people’s eyes were surveillance.
Moreover, there were only a few bars in Qingshan City.
However, this Fierce Beast was very strange; it had no physical form. Song Tiantian tried to cut it with a knife, but found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t kill this Fierce Beast because it had no physical form.
Song Tiantian summoned the Hell Ghost Vine and the Illusion Grass, to see if they could absorb this butterfly.
Although the Illusion Grass was now an Eight-star Pet Beast, it found that the combat power of this Seven-star Pet Beast was higher than its own, and its mental power was also much stronger. If not for the fact that this butterfly was now controlled by Song Tiantian, it was likely that the other party could have controlled it in an instant.
