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

In the ghost story, Shen Xingzhuo vented his pent-up frustration.

She felt refreshed, but Liu Jin was covered in bruises and swelling, and was no longer recognizable as a human being.

The strange beings present were all dumbfounded and dared not utter a sound; some of the more timid ones even silently took a few steps back.

Pei Jinxiu looked at her sister with stars in her eyes.

【Ding! ! ! 】

[Detected: Pei Jinxiu's favorability rating has reached 70%!]

[The chosen one is rewarded with the active right to use the talent reflection skill "Bewitching Mind"!]

Upon hearing the report of the strange tale, Shen Xingzhuo returned Pei Jinxiu's smile.

I should have told you earlier that this kid enjoys watching Liu Jin get beaten up!

She tightened the sleeves around her wrists and gave Liu Jin a hostile look.

If defeating it once unlocks new permissions, then defeating it twice will upgrade the Bewitching Heart skill?

With mental resistance and the immobilization effect of the Purple Gold Bell Ring, a well-executed combination is an invincible weapon!

Shen Xingzhuo's eyes lit up.

Just before she was about to take a step, she heard the ghost story's "emergency public relations"—

[The reward for Pei Jinxiu's personal favorability has ended!]

Additionally, the Chosen One's Talent Reflection skill can only be used individually! Although there is no limit to the number of uses, there is a one-hour cooldown period after each use!

The chosen one should seize the opportunity.

Shen Xingzhu laughed in anger. This wasn't a supplementary explanation; it was clearly a restriction specifically imposed on her!

Shameless! Absolutely shameless!

[Haha, I can tell what Sister Shen is thinking just by looking at her expression!]

[These ghost stories are really unreliable. Why give out rewards and then impose so many restrictions?]

[You guys... stop acting innocent after getting the benefits! Shen Xingzhuo is already getting away with anything in the ghost stories, what will happen if we don't restrict him?]

[Which country is this from? Please claim it.]

This is truly eye-opening; it's the first time I've ever seen such a fool empathize with their enemy.

[Waaaaah, stop it! It must have been so hard for Sister Shen to hit people. I'll give her a hand massage after she finishes the game~]

Hey! I've heard your abacus beads coming from all over the world!

……

Shen Xingzhuo was unaware of the little incident involving Timothée Chalamet in the comments.

Right before her eyes, three versions of Liu Jinbian were putting on a show, one true and one false.

The three men were all dressed in wedding robes. Although their faces were identical, their mannerisms and gestures were quite different.

One was gentle and refined, another was delicate and frail, and then... a pig's head.

Liu Jin's appearance was actually not bad; before the beating, she could even be described as having a pretty face.

Therefore, when they were arguing heatedly, the redness at the corners of their eyes became even more endearing.

"My lady, we each have our own version of events, so why don't you make the decision?"

The one who spoke was the frail, delicate one.

He threw himself at Shen Xingzhuo's feet, pleading pitifully for justice.

Shen Xingzhuo looked at the man on the ground wiping away tears with a half-smile.

Although she disliked his brothel-like manner, she still tossed him a handkerchief out of the ordinary.

"Okay, so what do you suggest?"

Shen Xingzhuo uttered words that made her lose her mind because of lust, and even maliciously observed Pei Jinxiu's favorability towards her in the task list.

Goodness, it's like a disco party!

It's clear how upset the little girl was.

She could only give him a "trust me" look, and the fluctuating favorability rating barely stayed at 65%.

But it's good enough; it's a statistic that won't be easily discredited.

"My lady~ Aren't you angry that they're impersonating me?"

Shen Xingzhuo simply glanced at him calmly.

"My lady, it's too cruel to kick them out. How about... we just kill them all?"

His hands climbed onto Shen Xingzhuo's shoes, and he pressed his forehead tightly against them, adopting a subservient posture.

Liu's mother in the heavens watched this scene with eyes wide with rage, but could only utter a few angry syllables.

Pig-headed Liu Jin was indignant and tried to rush forward, but was pressed firmly to the ground by the servants who had received a signal.

"My lady, I trust you have your own judgment," Liu Jin said calmly and patiently. "You won't be blinded by such a low-level scheme."

"Oh."

Shen Xingzhu chuckled softly, her tone teasing, "Do you know me that well?"

"I wouldn't say I know them very well, but Sister Shen... Sister Pei, our relationship is different from theirs."

"Shen?"

Shen Xingzhuo caught the slip of the tongue in the gentle version of Liu Jin.

"Captain Guan actually guessed it, but I didn't expect this kind of entrance... This is really awkward."

Shen Xingzhuo propped himself up with his hands and pressed his throbbing temples.

The mission involving the real and fake Liu Jin required her to leave only one survivor, while the real Liu Jin was said to pose no threat to her.

Conversely, if the judgment is wrong, the fake Liu Jin will make her pay the price.

The gentle version is practically telling her face to face that he is a chosen one just like her.

……

Shen Xingzhuo suddenly smiled brightly, and with a flick of his wrist, handed over the short knife he had forged himself.

"You two, help me slaughter that pig first."
