Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

"Do all the people outside bully your mother?"

Pei Jinyu's pupils dilated, and the anger in her eyes turned into blood tears that were so dark they were almost black, which flowed down her cheeks.

Her breath caught in her throat, and despite opening her mouth wide, she couldn't get enough oxygen.

"How dare he?! How dare he?!"

Pei Jinyu lay prostrate on the ground, weeping bitterly.

His voice was hoarse and filled with deep sorrow.

But seeing her grandmother break down emotionally, Pei Xi still felt it wasn't enough.

The last bit of "firewood" was added to make the fire of resentment burn the brightest.

"He's been in power for decades, what wouldn't he dare to do?"

"My grandfather falsely accused my mother of having an affair with another man, and forcibly brought in a religious statue, causing my mother to have a child out of wedlock."

"What wouldn't he dare to do?!"

With each word Pei Xi uttered, his voice grew louder.

Like heavy stones, each blow shattered the last vestige of Pei Jinyu's illusions.

"Grandmother, you..."

Shen Xingzhuo gently covered Pei Xi's mouth, stopping him from saying what was about to come out.

Her hand touched the thin membrane on Pei Xi's mouth, and a sharp pain shot through her.

Pei Xi, as if venting his anger, bit her palm with his sharp teeth.

Shen Xingzhuo allowed Pei Xi to suck his Dao blood.

My heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

"It seems Xi'er knows far more than I imagined."

"How exactly did Pei Yin conceive? It must be connected to that mysterious phoenix breath."

Shen Xingzhuo thought it over and over, but remained silent, giving the grandfather and grandson a moment to calm down.

The bottom of the well is dark and gloomy, and the passage of time is not obvious.

But Xiuyi's increasingly emaciated skeleton was reminding Shen Xingzhuo that time was running out.

She must immediately recreate Liu Jin.

Otherwise, Liu Jin of the past would be dead, and there would be no Pei Shiquan in the future.

"Mother, if you wish, come with me. If you do not wish..." Shen Xingzhuo paused, "I will send you to your death sooner."

"We don't have much time left."

She had no intention of urging Pei Jinyu to make a quick decision.

However, since Pei Jinyu was able to pose such a question in the "Admonitions for Women," her saying this shouldn't be considered forcing her in any way.

For the first time, Shen Xingzhuo felt a little uncertain.

Fortunately, Pei Jinyu made the final decision and firmly agreed.

Pei Jinyu knelt upright and kowtowed three times heavily towards the back mountain.

"Your unfilial daughter, Jinyu, begs for forgiveness from her mother and ancestors!"

"Today, Jin Yu swears! She will definitely assist Yin'er in reclaiming the ancestral property of the Pei family and drag that scheming hypocrite down to the deepest hell!"

Blood quickly seeped from Pei Jinyu's forehead.

A gentle breeze lifted her bent body.

Pei Jinyu was stunned. She cried and laughed at the same time, causing the blood and dirt on her cheeks to mix, making her originally delicate face even less visible.

She had calmed down by now.

"Yin'er, Xi'er, this well is tens of meters above the ground. How are we going to get up there?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingzhuo smiled.

She made a circle with her thumb and forefinger, blew on it, and a loud whistle rang out from the bottom of the well.

Before long, a piece of white brocade landed in front of the three of them.

"this……"

Pei Jinyu was surprised and suspicious.

"I sent the paper doll up there before. As long as I activate the spiritual energy on the paper doll, I can disguise my aura."

That would stop the time freeze.

Runyu will then follow my instructions, sending Bai Jin to the bottom of the well and pulling us up.

Back when Shen Xingzhuo first fell to the bottom of the well, the strange tales bewitched her into letting Runyu exchange her life for hers.

She then discovered that she and Runyu were of one mind.

Runyu is her destined one; she is someone who would let Runyu die in her place.

But more importantly, she could also get Runyu to help them find a new way to make a living.

With her by the well, Shen Xingzhuo can come and go as she pleases.

Shen Xingzhu wrapped the white brocade around Pei Jinyu's waist and instructed, "Mother, Runyu is on top to give you leverage."

"Climb upwards, and never bow your head again."
