Strange things happen, and I drive the evil god mad by chasing debts.

Shen Qingchan didn't even turn her head, and stabbed him with her knife!

"clang!"

A crisp metallic clang rang out in the quiet night.

The tip of the knife was blocked by the scabbard and remained completely still.

Moonlight pierced through the thin mist, illuminating the face of the newcomer.

The person who came was dressed in white and looked quite presentable, but his demeanor was as cold as ice.

His dark eyes, devoid of any emotion, just stared at her.

[Key plot character detected: Pei Wuwang.]

[Identity: Deputy Envoy of the Demon Suppression Division of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the current successor of the reclusive family, the "Tomb Guardians."]

[Strength Level: ???]

"Not bad."

Pei Wuwang sheathed his longsword, his voice as calm as still water.

"People from the Demon Suppression Division?"

Shen Qingchan turned around, put away her dagger, and looked him over with little interest in acknowledging him.

Officials are always a problem.

Pei Wuwang's gaze fell on her tattered paper wedding dress and the crimson-gold phoenix hairpin in her hair that clashed with the surroundings, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Are you the woman from the Fallen Flower Cave this time?"

"nonsense."

"Since you're not dead, let's go down the mountain immediately."

Pei Wuwang's gaze swept over the cave entrance, and his brows furrowed slightly. "Tonight, the creature inside will enter 'eating' mode. If you stay here, you'll only become its snack."

Shen Qingchan laughed after hearing this.

"Go down the mountain? Why should I go down the mountain?"

She pointed to her wedding dress and said matter-of-factly, "I've already accepted the betrothal gifts. Wouldn't it be incredibly impolite not to go in for a wedding ceremony and a drink of wedding wine?"

Pei Wuwang looked at her as if she had just escaped from a mental hospital: "That's a B-grade monster, not your groom. It will tear you to pieces, leaving not even a bone fragment."

"Then there's no need for Lord Pei to trouble himself."

Shen Qingchan walked past him and headed straight for the cave entrance. "I haven't settled my score yet."

"stop."

Pei Wuwang instinctively reached out to stop her, but just as his fingertips were about to touch her shoulder, a terrifying feeling rising from the depths of his soul made him abruptly withdraw his hand.

He stared in astonishment at his palm, where a few black arcs of electricity flashed by.

That's... a backlash from the rules?!

What terrifying power of rules is entangled around this woman?

Shen Qingchan ignored his shock and stepped into the darkness of the cave.

The cave was cold and damp, and a stench of blood and rotting flesh assaulted the senses; it was truly disgusting.

The stone wall was covered in sticky black water, which was still dripping down.

From deep within, a terrifying sound of bones being chewed could be heard, but it quickly fell silent again.

Clearly, Shen Dafu and Liu Er have become the "appetizers".

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Heavy footsteps came from the deepest part of the darkness, approaching step by step.

A pair of blood-red eyes, as big as lanterns, lit up in the darkness, and a terrifying pressure instantly filled the entire cave, freezing the air and causing pebbles to fall from the stone walls.

That was absolute suppression from the level of life.

[WARNING: Encountering a Class B eerie entity, 'The Soul-Sinking Cave God'.]

[The eerie domain 'Wedding Night' has been activated: Within this domain, the bride cannot inflict any physical damage on the groom.]

"bride……"

A deep, hollow, inhuman voice echoed in the cave, making Shen Qingchan's ears ring.

A gigantic monster, three meters tall, covered in black scales, and wearing a crooked red wedding hat on its head, emerged from the darkness.

Its gaping maw dripped continuously with foul-smelling green saliva.

"I ate...you..."

The Cave God roared, stretching out its large hand covered in sharp claws, bringing a foul stench, and fiercely grabbed at Shen Qingchan's head!

Despite being in this predicament, Shen Qingchan pulled out a piece of yellow paper from her bosom.

"Wait a moment!"

Her clear voice stood out particularly well in the terrifying cave.

"Lord Dongshen, shouldn't we settle our accounts before the wedding ceremony?"

The cave god's giant claw stopped a centimeter above her head.

Those bloodshot eyes were fixed on the yellow paper in her hand.

The paper was covered with large characters written in vermilion ink: "Supplementary Agreement to the Marriage Contract".

"You...are...what...are...you...?"

The Cave God wasn't very intelligent, but it could clearly sense that the thin yellow paper emanated a power of rules that made its soul tremble.

That is the most fundamental law of the world, which cannot be violated or resisted.

"You know that Shen Dafu embezzled the betrothal gifts you gave me, right?"

Shen Qingchan shook the "agreement" in her hand and began her performance.

"According to the Marriage Law of our Great Xia Dynasty, and Article 7 of the Third Section of the General Rules for Marriage in your strange world, if the groom's betrothal gifts are insufficient or substandard, the bride has the right to unilaterally terminate the wedding and demand triple compensation from the groom."

"The gold phoenix hairpin I received was damaged, and two gold bars were missing. So now, you owe me three intact gold phoenix hairpins, six full-value gold bars, plus compensation for emotional distress and lost wages."

Shen Qingchan spoke each word clearly and logically.

Pei Wuwang, who was hiding in the shadows at the cave entrance, ready to rescue people at any moment, almost stumbled and fell when he heard these words.

As he watched Shen Qingchan's retreating figure, he felt as if his worldview was being repeatedly rubbed into the ground.

This woman... is she talking to a B-grade weirdo, about law enforcement?

It's still the Marriage Law?!

Is she crazy?!

However, something even more astonishing happened to Pei Wuwang.

The enormous monster actually trembled.

In those bloodshot eyes, there was actually a hint of... conflict and fear?

In this bizarre world, the rules are everything!

What Shen Qingchan held was a "Rule Manifestation Contract" produced by the system, which had absolute binding force on creatures like Cave Gods that existed based on rules.

"I...don't...have...money..."

After holding it in for a long time, the cave spirit squeezed out three words with a voice as thick as a millstone, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

"No money?"

Shen Qingchan's face darkened. She stepped forward and poked the Cave God's iron-hard scales with her finger. "If you don't have money, what kind of wife are you going to marry? Are you trying to get something for nothing? How is your behavior any different from that of a con artist who scams people into marriage? If word gets out, won't your B-grade weirdo reputation be ruined?"

She shoved the yellow paper and a charcoal pencil into the cave god's claws, which could crush stones.

"Write an IOU!"

"If you don't write the IOU today, I'll sue you for contract fraud tomorrow at the 'Myriad Realms Uncanny Arbitration Committee'! I'll apply for enforcement! I'll get your dilapidated cave seized and auctioned off by the court!"

Pei Wuwang was completely numb.

He felt that in all the bizarre cases he had seen in his more than twenty years of life, none were as absurd as what he was witnessing.

The cave god's ghostly face was full of resentment.

This B-level monster, which has been entrenched in Fallen Soul Slope for a hundred years and has caused headaches for countless demon suppressors, not only failed to get to eat the bride today, but was also forced by the bride to write an IOU.

Is there any reason?

Is there no law left?
