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

In his later years, without the old Taoist priest's guidance, Pei Shiquan continued to use those outdated methods.

But what's even more hateful is that this happened against such a historical backdrop.

Without updating his techniques, he can still suppress women like a mountain.

She suddenly understood why even Pei Zhao, a man, had to suffer such abuse.

Because in Pei Shiquan's eyes, men are a woman's support.

Pei Zhao is Pei Yin's older brother, the legitimate male heir of the Pei family, and Pei Yin's greatest asset in reclaiming the Pei family in the future.

Even though he has already established himself in the Pei family, he still has to be wary of his legitimate daughter and the son who can help his daughter regain her legitimacy!

That's why he let Madam Pei be the murderer.

They imprisoned Pei Zhao every day at all costs, turning him into a madman who couldn't even recognize grains.

He even made a decision that went against ancestral beliefs and morality, allowing Pei Zhao to marry Pei Yin.

Shen Xingzhuo let out a long breath, as if that would dispel the pent-up emotions in her heart.

[Chosen One, you have no time left.]

[Tick-tock...]

The ghost story imitated the sound of a clock, casually offering a reminder.

Shen Xingzhu gritted his teeth and noticed that a timer had appeared in the air at some point.

That timer looks very unique.

The countdown is five minutes long.

Below is a small, blurry character that is still legible.

Enemy numbers: Unknown.

"enemy?"

Shen Xingzhuo was puzzled.

"Since they're human...could they be chosen ones from another country?"

She had a bold and reasonable guess, and suspected that since the supernatural tales couldn't hold her back by the rules, they were going to tamper with them.

She is a law-abiding citizen.

She can kill monsters as easily as cutting vegetables, without any psychological burden.

The two Chosen Ones who impersonated Liu Jin have become the ghosts of this strange tale.

She could still comfort herself by saying that the rules were like this.

But to really kill so many people...

Can she do it?

Moreover, after the person died in the ghost story, she did not see where the person's soul went.

That would mean that if someone dies in a ghost story, it becomes a new kind of eeriness.

She'll have to protect these women and deal with the strange creatures...

That's probably still a bit difficult.

Can……

The question posed in the ghost story.

How can she prove that these children are not her children?

It seems she really can't prove it.

Because these children are her children!

"Didn't you already know the answer to the question? What's the point of asking me?"

Shen Xingzhuo continued to press on her aching palms, almost self-destructively trying to calm herself down.

She felt her mindset becoming increasingly agitated.

Just like all the women throughout history who have been coerced.

It's hard not to go crazy when you're in a long-term repressive environment.

【Chosen One Shen Xingzhuo, watch your attitude!】

[In ghost stories, you must abide by the rules! Please answer my questions accurately, not question them!]

【drop!!!】

[It has been detected that the Chosen One, Shen Xingzhuo, has repeatedly violated the default rule of the supernatural tales—to abide by the rules of the supernatural tales. Therefore, we will now issue a ruling against her…]

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingzhuo couldn't help but roll her eyes.

The ghost story ended halfway through her sentence, which was clearly another temporary rule imposed on her.

She understood. It wasn't that Pei Shiquan was so capable; it was that he knew all too well how unfair this world was to women. He didn't need to innovate; he only needed to inherit—inherit the methods used to oppress women for thousands of years, and then use them even more cruelly on the women of the Pei family. And those methods, ironically, were so effective!
