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

Why is the screen going black again?!

Why does she have to carry that burden? All her yelling and nagging has ruined her good luck!

[That's not entirely true. If Sister Shen's story in the ghost stories is about redemption, then she would inevitably have to save the character of Madam Pei.]

[I just don't understand, why do you women love to redeem others so much? Shen Xingzhuo is so strong, wouldn't it be so satisfying to just kill him all?!]

[It's all just womanly compassion!]

[Hehe, if we kill them all and the mission fails, you'll all start blaming it on Sister Shen!]

[You don't want to take any responsibility, yet you're pointing fingers and giving orders. You're really giving me too much face!]

Instead of arguing about whether or not to kill the NPCs, let's think about how to solve the problem...

Some people argued, while others racked their brains.

I already couldn't remember any of the permutations and combinations, and the black screen at this moment only made things worse.

……

In reality, the area inside the canopy of ghost stories is completely dark.

Shen Xingzhuo could still vaguely see the surrounding environment.

It's still that long corridor and those scattered characters.

The only two differences, besides the darkness, were the hands that seemed to understand something and tried to wrap around her...

Is this reality or an illusion?

Short, terrifying screams echoed in my ears, making me dizzy and disoriented.

Madam Pei's whites were particularly noticeable in the darkness, fixed intently on Shen Xingzhuo.

It looks extremely terrifying.

Shen Xingzhuo could hear her heart pounding in her chest.

She took several deep breaths, trying to relax her body.

The long sword she was gripping tightly in her right hand slashed fiercely as yet another "hand" shot out towards her.

Distorted music filled the space.

Although it is a joyful piece, the minor key of a minor third makes it sound unusually eerie.

Shen Xingzhuo pulled Madam Pei along and ran again, wielding his long sword to cut off the hands that attacked their faces one by one.

"The first rule of the Pei family: Pei family daughters have their own integrity and pride, and may not abide by worldly conventions, not marry outside the family, and not share power."

Shen Xingzhuo was slightly out of breath when he read out the rules.

But she spoke with unwavering conviction, clearly and forcefully articulating what she had seen, heard, and felt.

"The second rule of the Pei family: There is a natural alliance between mother and daughter. A mother does not value her daughter more, but she values ​​her daughter more!"

Although the two phrases "以女为贵" sound the same, they have different meanings.

The first principle, "women are valued above all else," means that whether a mother gives birth to a boy or a girl, it does not affect the mother's status.

The second point is that the daughter is the most precious person in the Pei family.

When Shen Xingzhuo said those words, a tremor could be clearly felt in the air.

But she continued speaking without stopping:

"The third rule of the Pei family: Observe your own heart! Wherever your heart leads, that is the path forward!"

As a prominent family, the Pei family certainly has strict rules, but following one's own heart is the most important rule in the Pei family.

Even if Pei Jinyu did it all in pursuit of love...

It's not exactly heretical!

"The fourth rule of the Pei family: The ancient goddess Nuwa created humans. The creator of humans is a goddess! Therefore, within the scope of the Pei family's power, we must listen to the teachings of the goddess! That is, listen to our mother."

Those who respect their mothers will always be respected! Only then can they achieve success in their careers and have a bright future!

This rule overturned half of the previous "Ancestral Hall Rules".

It's like rebuilding a real temple on the ruins.
