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

"So what are your thoughts?"

Assistant Xu took a step closer to Qin Shi and leaned down to ask in her ear.

Qin Shi controlled himself and did not dodge the question. After hesitating for a while, he finally answered it.

"I'm still unsure of my own feelings. Doesn't Xingzhuo know divination? If she says we're a match made in heaven, then I'll accept it."

A shy expression appeared on Qin Shi's face.

But the real meaning behind her words was—

They waited for Shen Xingzhuo to return to confirm whether the person they both suspected had been tainted by evil energy.

If even Shen Xingzhuo confirms this answer, then the Xia Kingdom might fall into an unprecedented crisis.

At that time, everyone must be on high alert.

Assistant Xu nodded.

"So now we..."

Qin Shi thought for a moment, "Inaction is action."

"To avoid letting our relationship interfere with our work, it's best if we don't meet privately during this period."

If the crisis truly exists, then the two people who can see the situation clearly are in extreme danger.

Moreover, apart from the two of them, all the other members of the Huaxu team who have any influence in the command room are now trapped in the strange legend of ranking manipulation.

Although they can still contact Lu Qianling and Su Anyu, it's too late to help them now.

Assistant Xu sighed, but the tension in his heart gradually dissipated after seeing Qin Shi's calm expression.

"I understand," Assistant Xu replied in a low voice.

"Qin Shi, this is a matter between the two of us. I hope you can think it over carefully."

Qin Shi nodded, understanding that Assistant Xu meant to keep the matter temporarily between the two of them.

They both understood each other perfectly.

They pretended to be "reluctant to part" for a while before leaving the cave one after the other.

……

The golden rain only lasted five minutes.

There were no longer any heavily polluted areas within the territory of Tianxia Kingdom at this time.

Just a short time ago, they were struggling on the brink of death, but the sudden turn of events made the citizens of Tianxia feel as if they had been struck by a wonderful surprise.

Besides the revelry, I also felt a bit dizzy at this moment.

Almost everyone sent out celebratory comments around the same time.

However, some more level-headed people noticed the anomaly in the sky.

Pei Jinyu, Pei Xi, Shen Guantang... and even Pei Jinxiu, their bodies were now almost translucent.

Led by Shen Xingzhuo, they entered the ancestral hall.

Even though it was already the end of this highly difficult ghost story, Shen Xingzhuo showed no sign of pleasure.

Pei Jinyu floated in front of her, reaching out to touch Shen Xingzhuo's cheek, but lightly passed through her body.

Pei Jinyu was stunned, then smiled with relief.

"Child, don't be sad for us. You have your own life to live. If you can, please look at the sky beyond the bottom of the well for us."

"Yes, Jinyu is right," Shen Guantang agreed.

And then there's Xiao Peixi; she wants to hold Shen Xingzhuo's hand tightly.

"Mother~ Xi'er finally succeeded this time~ Xi'er doesn't regret doing this, even if it happens a hundred or a thousand times, Xi'er still won't regret it."

Seeing the smile on Pei Xi's face, Shen Xingzhuo's eyes reddened.

Oh dear, you guys are being so sentimental...

[It's like this ghost story has already ended!]

The ghost story's heavenly voice shifted from casual banter to angry shouts.

It is dissatisfied that its presence has been completely diminished by these people.

Even if not a single eeriness remains in this ghost story, I can ensure its eternal existence.

[Chosen One, Shen Xingzhuo, your judgment has only just begun!]
