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

After the four rules came out, Shen Xingzhuo realized that people can actually laugh when they are speechless.

"Slap—slap—"

She raised her hands and clapped, a mocking expression on her face.

Even people across the entire star system were speechless at these so-called default rules.

They've really lost all sense of shame.

[Priority processing privileges? Fine, fine, you're blatantly targeting my sister Shen.]

[I have perfect pitch; the voice in the ghost story was three octaves lower than before. Has it changed to something more eerie?]

Whether we change it or not, we're both shameless.

[We hope Captain Guan can negotiate with the ghost story group! We're not in such a passive position anymore!]

[What are you thinking upstairs? You chosen ones are so smug after winning three games?]

[Hahaha, don't shatter the Tianxia Kingdom's beautiful dream! They think they're strong now, but they're actually just being played by ghost stories!]

[Tsk.]

[Sour grapes! If you can't have them, why don't you negotiate? Do you think you're not going to because you don't want to? You bunch of idiots, just ten cities away from destruction!]

The mouths of the citizens of Tianxia have been honed through countless verbal battles.

It can be done without uttering a single dirty word, yet it can precisely strike at the other person's vulnerable heart.

The other party fell completely silent.

The citizens of Tianxia Kingdom also found it uninteresting and instead focused their attention on Shen Xingzhuo's situation.

In ghost stories.

After Shen Xingzhu finished clapping, a bolt of silver lightning struck down beside her.

She moved her feet and easily dodged the attack of the heavenly lightning.

But she didn't try to stir up any more ghost stories.

This thing is so petty; at this crucial moment, she can't afford to cause any unnecessary trouble.

"May I continue now?"

She emphasized the word "please ask" very heavily.

She remembered the feeling of suffocation she had experienced earlier; how could simply beating Liu Jin be considered a way to vent her anger?

But Taoists believe that reward is never too late, even after ten years; let's wait and see.

【Can. 】

Since there was no reason to make things difficult for her, the ghost storyteller let her continue.

Shen Xingzhuo coughed lightly and looked at Pei Jinyu.

"Pei Jinyu's story is the most complex part of this ghost story."

"Her identity is even more orthodox than Pei Yin's; she is a legitimate eldest daughter who has been raised as an heir since childhood."

The Pei family is a family of weavers, and compared to other families, the Pei family's foundation lies more in their weaving skills.

If one wants to inherit such a family business, one must work hard on the craft; otherwise, it will be difficult to gain the respect of others.

It seems that Pei Jinyu had been studying this since childhood, and had the support of her elders.

When it comes to interpersonal relationships and social graces, it falls slightly short.

At this point, Shen Xingzhuo paused, then added:

"Of course, I'm not saying she's completely naive."

Rather, it was the sudden appearance of a different color within the strict and repressive discipline she had received since childhood that made the stone more easily attract her attention.

You mean, Liu Jin is this oddball?

Shen Xingzhu frowned and retorted, "Isn't it obvious?"

"The surname Pei includes the radical for clothing, which is made of silk and hemp, and silk and hemp originate from wood. The Pei family has been weaving brocade for generations, and Pei Jinyu has been immersed in the atmosphere of wood since childhood. Her fate is self-evident, isn't it?"

She had intended to wait for the ghost story to respond, but after waiting for a while, she heard nothing.

He then smirked and continued:

"As for Liu Jin, we can deduce this from his name alone. His destiny belongs to the metal element. In the Five Elements, metal overcomes wood; each of the Five Elements has its own primary color. Therefore, it is a fact that anyone with discerning eyes can see that Liu Jin is 'different'."
