Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Looking at the crowd below the stage, which was about to disperse like a tide.

Bai Zhi knew that she really couldn't hold on any longer.

Helpless, she could only grit her teeth in silence.

As the music reached its third climax, I slowly raised my arms and then suddenly flung them towards the dark night sky.

slam-la-

Upon receiving the signal, the shadow guards on the banyan tree poured down the last of the copper coins they had prepared from the dense canopy.

They hid in the dense shadows of the trees, and the people below the stage could not detect their presence at all.

The view from below is absolutely breathtaking.

It was just like that ancient tree that was suddenly inspired by the fairy's dance and sent down a golden miracle.

"Money! They're throwing money around!"

"It's raining! It's raining coins!"

"Mine! Don't take it, it's all mine!"

The crowd was instantly reignited, becoming even more frenzied than ever before.

The two groups that were just arguing heatedly about whether or not the fairy should scatter money instantly reached the simplest reconciliation.

Everyone went crazy, bending over and digging for food on the ground with their hands and feet.

In order to grab an extra copper coin, he didn't hesitate to push the people around him to the ground.

The clanging sounds, excited screams, and curses escalating from the struggle all blended together.

Those who had already given up and turned away,

Hearing the commotion and looting coming from the square behind him, his eyes turned red.

They all turned around and ran back, eagerly joining the revelry.

The atmosphere below the stage was incredibly enthusiastic, but Bai Zhi on the high platform felt a chill run from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.

What should I do?

The copper coins have already been scattered.

However, there was still no movement from the east side of the city.

This is the last of our funds; it won't last much longer.

What should you do if the crowd has picked up all the money and then realizes there's none left?

Bai Zhi's forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, and she almost couldn't stand up straight.

"That's it?"

"What happened? Only this little bit?"

"Yeah, the fairy was so stingy today!"

"More, fairy!"

Sure enough, the brief shower of copper coins lasted for less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before it stopped completely.

The five huge wooden crates were completely empty.

After picking up the copper coins from the ground, the crowd looked up again, gazing longingly at the dark canopy of trees.

This time, however loudly they shouted and pleaded, not a single coin fell from the tree.

Even stranger is...

In the past, after scattering money, the fairies would float away in a white light.

But today, the fairy stood still on the high platform, gazing eastward into the distance.

That posture, like a beautiful statue that has lost its soul, exudes an indescribable desolation.

"Alright, alright, let's call it a day. Looks like the fairy's out of money. Let's call it a day!"

"Let's go, let's go home and sleep!"

More and more people are losing patience and starting to leave.

The crowd visibly thinned out.

Bai Zhi stood on the high platform, watching this scene, her legs went weak, and she almost knelt down.

Failed.

It was a complete failure.

What worried her more was what had happened to Lin Mo.

Have they been discovered?

Or... was he injured?

The moment the thought crossed her mind, her heart began to pound wildly, and she could barely breathe.

No, she has to go and see!

Just as she was about to signal her shadow guards to escort her away to the East City to check on the situation.

"Don't move! All of you, stop right there!"

A loud shout, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, resounded throughout the entire square.

Whoosh—

Countless torches surged from the streets and alleys surrounding the square, instantly illuminating the entire square as if it were daytime.

Squads of soldiers clad in armor and wielding long swords surged into the square like a black tide, quickly sealing off all the exits.

Their faces were cold and stern, and the blades gleamed coldly in the firelight.

In the blink of an eye, a huge encirclement was formed.

The tens of thousands of people in the square, along with Bai Zhi on the high platform, were all trapped in the center.

"Soldiers?! How can there be so many soldiers?!"

"What are they trying to do!?"

"Run! Run! We can't afford to mess with this!"

But all the exits were blocked, and people scattered like headless flies, plunging the square into unprecedented chaos and panic.

The leading general rode a tall horse, looking down at the chaotic crowd below.

It was Zhang Cheng, the garrison commander of Zhenbei City.

"Anyone who doesn't want to die, kneel down right now!"

Zhang Cheng roared, his voice filled with bloodthirsty impatience.

"Anyone who wanders around again, I'll chop them up on the spot!"

"Clang—"

The fastest man was struck in the back of the knee by a scabbard from a soldier beside him, and he fell to the ground screaming.

This seemed to be a signal.

Everyone who was still running away was so frightened that their legs went weak and they all knelt down on the ground.

The cries and pleas for mercy abruptly ceased.

The vast square was filled only with the crackling of burning torches and the fearful gasps of the people.

Zhang Cheng was very satisfied with the scene before him.

His gaze swept past the sea of ​​heads and landed on the lone, fiery red figure in the center of the platform.

The only one still standing, a fiery red figure.

Although there was some distance between them, their faces were not clearly visible.

Although there was some distance between them, and they couldn't see each other's faces clearly,

But the skirt fluttering in the night breeze, those straight and slender legs, that tiny waist...

Zhang Cheng's Adam's apple bobbed, and he raised the riding whip in his hand, pointing it directly at Bai Zhi.

"Listen up, all of you!"

His voice echoed throughout every corner of the square.

"That person on stage is not a fairy at all!"

"She's a charlatan who spreads lies and deceives the public! A shameless vixen!"

"She impersonates a deity, bewitching people and disrupting the peace of my Zhenbei City! I, the general, am ordered to capture this witch!"

"Guards! Seize this vixen!"

Several soldiers immediately responded, wielding chains, and charged toward the platform like wolves and tigers.

"No...that's not it!"

Just then, the burly butcher in the crowd suddenly stood up, trembling.

He rushed to the platform, spread his arms, and used his strong body to block the soldiers.

"General! You...you must be mistaken! She...she really is a fairy!"

"The fairy blesses us every day and gives us money! This big banyan tree rains down money on us every day! We...we've collected it all!"

Once one person takes the lead, many more people immediately muster their courage.

"Yes, General! We can all testify!"

The plump aunt who had been arguing with the butcher earlier also joined in the shouting.

"The fairy gave us money so we could buy rice to cook! How could she be a scammer?"

"Yes! The fairy is a good person! You can't arrest her!"

"Yes! The fairy is innocent! We beg the general to investigate!"

More and more voices echoed the sentiment, rising and falling in waves.

Those people who were just scrambling for copper coins and even complaining about the fairy's stinginess were now surprisingly united.

They don't understand any grand principles; they only recognize the simplest one:

Whoever feeds them is a good person!
