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

Shen Xingzhuo's last question seemed like an uncertain murmur.

Her eyes met Pei Jinyu's eyes, and his spiritual energy transformed into breath, sweeping past her like the wind, yet bringing her a gentle feeling.

"Clatter—"

Pei Jinyu's tears fell to the ground and soaked into the soil of the ancestral hall.

Shen Xingzhuo twitched the corners of his mouth and stepped forward to embrace Pei Jinyu, Madam Pei, and Pei Xi.

Her voice was muffled, and she asked again uncertainly, "You'll always be with me, right?"

"Yes!" Pei Jinyu's voice was hoarse. "No matter what happens, Mother will always be with you! Protect you! I will never let you suffer such a serious injury again!"

Her hand gently stroked Shen Xingzhuo's wound.

"Does it hurt...?"

Shen Xingzhuo pretended to be strong and silently shook her head.

"We're going to the ancestral hall on the back mountain now to apologize to our ancestors. Then... the wronged will be righted, and the debtors will be held accountable! Pei Shiquan... no, Liu Jin, he will receive his due punishment!"

Shen Xingzhuo's eyes gleamed as he spoke, as if he could already see Liu Jin being dragged into the deepest hell.

Pei Jinyu shed two lines of clear tears, which rolled down her cheeks.

"Okay! Don't worry, Yin'er!"

She stroked Shen Xingzhuo's temples, etching her eyebrows and face into her heart.

"I will go to apologize! The humiliation suffered by the Pei family is entirely due to my failure as the heir of the Pei family, and for letting the wolf into the house!"

"This time, Mother will protect you! Protect you..."

Pei Jinyu's eyes lit up.

"The reason I returned to the ancestral hall to find you is to tell you that Runyu and I have been found..."

Shen Xingzhu quickly covered Pei Jinyu's mouth and shook his head.

"We won't discuss this matter further; it will come in handy later!"

Pei Jinyu nodded, looking at her sensible daughter with pity in her eyes once again.

Why do I have a feeling that Sister Shen has completely fooled Pei Jinyu?

Isn't this just the tenderness between mother and daughter? It's perfectly normal, isn't it?

No, no, no, this isn't normal at all! It's true that mothers and daughters naturally care for each other, but look at Pei Jinyu's eyes, it's as if Sister Shen is seriously injured and her life is hanging by a thread... you know what I mean~

[Hiss~ Now that you mention it, it's true. I just saw Sister Shen drink the healing potion, and all her wounds, big and small, have almost healed. Even if Pei Jinyu is worried about her, she wouldn't go this far!]

Hahahaha!!!

The comments section was filled with laughter.

It's good to be lively.

Guan Shanyue looked on and shook his head helplessly.

She knew that Shen Xingzhuo did this to add another layer of security to their upcoming operations.

I just didn't expect Shen Xingzhuo to use such a surprising trick.

"Captain Guan, there are some things we don't understand."

Qin Shi and Li Hua, the history buff, stepped forward and asked with puzzled expressions.

Guan Shanyue turned slightly to the side, signaling her to continue.

"Given Xingzhuo's abilities, she could clearly control these strange entities directly, so why did she choose such a roundabout method?"

Qin Shi posed a question, and Li Hua immediately responded.

"The bizarre is still the bizarre, and I see absolutely no need for an alliance! Besides, simply deepening a mother's guilt towards her daughter won't solve the problem once and for all!"

Upon hearing Li Hua's speech, Guan Shanyue's expression instantly turned serious.

His gaze swept over the two people in front of him, and he asked seriously:

"You all believe that Xingzhuo's actions are an alliance with the supernatural?"
