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

"The dead cannot be brought back to life." Shen Guantang uttered these six words hesitantly, and after a long while, he continued, "There is no afterlife... that's for the best."

"It's been such a painful journey in this world."

Shen Guantang wept silently, his eyes showing neither sorrow nor joy.

Are you really just going to let it go like this?

The scalpel demon was so shocked that he forgot to have a mental conversation with Shen Guantang.

Shen Guantang shook his head.

"Isn't Yin'er settling accounts right now?"

"She told me about the accounts, but she didn't just tell me; the judge in the underworld will decide."

Shen Xingzhuo also looked at Shen Guantang in surprise.

She had assumed that, given Shen Guantang's personality, she would have a fierce battle with her.

did not expect……

Pei Jinyu withdrew her hand that was protecting Shen Xingzhuo.

"It's not easy for anyone." She paused, "The women in the Pei household have it not easy either."

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Now, let's have the chosen one, Shen Xingzhuo, answer the second question—

If you were to witness Liu Jinsheng cannibalizing another person again, would you choose to run away again?

This question about the strange tale shocked everyone present.

A beam of white light flashed, and a new memory suddenly appeared in Shen Xingzhuo's mind.

And this memory was clearly replayed on a small light screen that appeared above her head.

It is a story of recalling Pei Yin.

At that time, she already had gray hair at her temples, and she looked much older than her age.

She hurried toward a courtyard.

The maidservant beside her offered a slight support, her expression full of disapproval.

"Young Miss, please slow down. Madam has already given birth, and the people over there have reported that both mother and child are safe."

"Even if you're in a hurry to visit her, Madam won't give you a warm welcome. Why bother..."

"Shut up!"

Pei Yin interrupted her sharply.

"Giving birth is like a woman walking through the gates of hell."

"My mother's previous pregnancy ended prematurely and she died, so this delivery was even more difficult."

She pursed her lips as she spoke.

"Although my mother was strict with me, she wasn't overly critical of me. As her daughter, I still need to go and see her to feel at ease."

As she spoke, her expression grew even more forlorn.

"It's my fault, Miss, please don't be sad. Your health isn't any better than others."

The young maid looked at her with pity.

Pei Yin shook her head and continued walking briskly forward.

But when she arrived at the main courtyard where Shen Guantang lived, the unusually quiet atmosphere made her hesitate.

"Why isn't there even anyone to serve us?"

Pei Yin hesitated for a moment, but still walked inside.

She walked and looked around, but she didn't see any maids or servants serving her.

"Miss……"

Her maidservant suddenly felt a strange chill.

Pei Jin gripped her hand tightly and shook his head.

"Don't make a sound, let's go inside and take a look."

Something unusual must be going on. She had grown up in the Pei family mansion, which was controlled by Liu Jin, and had heard about these private matters within the inner quarters.

So she and her maidservant cautiously walked further inside.

She heard the woman crying.

Pei Yin frowned, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

But as she got closer, she could hear clearly what the woman's cries were.

"Sir, she is your own flesh and blood!"

"How could you treat her like this!"

Pei Yin cautiously stepped forward and saw a scene she would never forget in her life!

Liu Jin's hands were stained crimson. He held a knife in his right hand, cutting something in an unknown location.

Pei Yin saw Liu Jin's hand move for a moment, and then he raised a piece of pinkish-transparent meat.

He admired his "masterpiece" in the light for a moment, then put it in his mouth.

A sweet, fishy smell wafted to Pei Yin's nose.

"vomit……"
