Leaving the shop, Si Zang sniffed the quiet air outside, his expression suddenly changing: "Suibian, are you saying those women said my eyes angered them?"

"Can't I take a few more glances at a beautiful woman?"

"There are still four of them standing together. Am I supposed to pretend I didn't see them and just give them a quick glance?"

"Perhaps your gaze is intrusive." Lin Feng moved Si Zang's face away: "Looking is fine, but staring at others like that makes it seem like you're trying to see them naked."

"Really?" Si Zang took a few steps, bent down and approached Yu: "Little Yu, tell me, am I really that shameless?"

Yu nodded, and mimicking Lin Feng's disdain, forcibly turned Si Zang's head to Tang Hong's side.

"Si'er, I'm not trying to criticize you, but your behavior is too conspicuous. Can't you be a little more composed?" Tang Hong said disdainfully. "Although you don't have any bad intentions, it seems a bit excessive to others."

"Alright, alright, shall I go and apologize?" Si Zang sighed, but wouldn't it be a bit much not to take a few more glances at such a beautiful person?

"Even if you did go, they wouldn't accept it," Lin Feng said casually. "They're so murderous, and Si Zang is composed, but they aren't. This matter..."

Lin Feng stopped and looked at the crowd that was beginning to reappear on the street, holding Si Zang. He pretended to be melancholy and said, "You'll have to atone with your death."

"No, I can't do that. Even if you asked me to say a few nice words to that monk, I'd rather not bother arguing with them." Si Zang immediately avoided the three people whose gazes were surprisingly unanimous.

"Hey, you can be a coward too?" Tang Hong chuckled and changed the subject: "I've seen one of the people in there before in the entertainment district. She's the woman in the black robe who keeps three thousand men of various races under her command."

"Hiss~" Si Zang immediately came closer; he wanted to hear about this.

Tang Hong continued, "You should understand that when it comes to power, people's hearts have no bottom line. They restored the imperial system in the entertainment district, established an area that only provides services for women, and recruited a large group of female supremacists."

"Oh, they did what I wanted to do!" Si Zang laughed heartily.

“There are no mandatory rules in the Nightmare Space. You can do whatever you want, but…” Tang Hong shrugged: “They claim that this is their right, to have the same rights as men as the dominant force in society, which is equality.”

"Wait, what does that mean?" Si Zang didn't understand for a moment.

"It's very simple. For example, if you can be the emperor, then I can be the emperor too. That's equality," Tang Hong replied lazily. "If you can enjoy having three wives and four concubines, then I can also have one on each arm."

“That sounds plausible,” Shizang said with a smile, but his eyes held a different meaning: “To explain in detail, we need to consider the historical and social context, but if you only look at the surface, that is indeed the case.”

Lin Feng chuckled and said, "Turn yourself into the kind of person you used to hate."

"Tsk tsk, what you're saying makes sense." Si Zang nodded: "What society wants to do is eliminate prejudice and privilege, but what they want is to transfer privilege."

"If you go and apologize, they might want to exterminate your entire family." Tang Hong glanced at Si Zang as if he were looking at something pitiful. "To be honest, it's normal for these women to be strong-willed, but instead of learning from Wu Zetian, they all try to emulate Empress Dowager Cixi."

"Hahahaha...hehehaha..." Si Zang couldn't help but laugh, raising his arm to point at Tang Hong three or four times in a row, and finally pulled it back and punched him hard: "That makes sense, that makes sense, but they also need to have the will to learn, not just be greedy for privileges."

"Fahai is in trouble." Tang Hong chuckled. Those four women had probably gone to find Fahai.

After circling around for a while and admiring the prosperity of Hangzhou, Lin Feng and his companions returned to Xu Xian's shop.

"I thought they would close down." Tang Hong glanced at Xu Xian, who was busy again inside, and then at Bai Suzhen, who was tidying up medicinal herbs in front of the shop.

At this moment, Bai Suzhen raised her head. She keenly sensed these auras, but in the blink of an eye, they vanished from her sight.

As the sun set, fewer and fewer people were on the streets. With the last few shouts fading away, Xu Xian followed Bai Suzhen to close the shop and headed towards their home.

"My wife, why don't we leave Hangzhou?" The gate opened, and Xu Xian stood with one foot dangling in the air, not stepping inside: "The world is so big, they can't possibly find us."

"My lord, if it is really as you say, these people will surely be able to protect us, and... are we going to hide forever?" Bai Suzhen smiled slightly: "I want our child... to be able to live openly and honestly in this city of Hangzhou."

"A child? My wife, you're pregnant?!"

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, and the step he hadn't taken before suddenly became especially firm. Then he hugged Bai Suzhen tightly.

"Mmm." Bai Suzhen hugged Xu Xian, a hint of tenderness flashing between her brows, which then became especially firm.

As night fell, Xu Xian, carrying the soaked herbs, went behind the house and quietly approached the open space where the herbs were usually dried. Trembling with fear, he whispered, "Reverends, are you nearby?"

"Um."

Si Zang stepped forward, casually took the bamboo winnowing basket from Xu Xian's hand, and placed it on a shelf to the side.

"Master, Xu Xian has a request." Xu Xian said, making a kneeling gesture, but before the other's legs could even touch the ground, Lin Feng stepped out from the side and lifted Xu Xian up.

“Just say it, why are you kneeling?”

“Taoist priests…” Xu Xian took a deep breath: “I hope that when we encounter danger, you Taoist priests can save my wife first.”

Lin Feng released his grip: "Your wife just came to us; she wants us to save you first."

"Huh?" Xu Xian was stunned.

Si Zang glanced at the medicinal herbs, then turned around and walked over: "There's nothing I can do. I'm kind-hearted, so I've agreed to both of your requests."

"This..." Xu Xian gasped again, "Thank you, Daoist Master!"

"Alright, alright, I'll ask you this: where is Xiaoqing from your household? I haven't seen her."

Hearing Si Zang's question, Xu Xian scratched his head: "Xiao Qing is lively and often doesn't come back until late at night."

"Tonight." Si Zang's steps faltered. "I know. Keep this talisman with you at all times. If you encounter any problems, tear it open, and we'll appear soon."

"Thank you, Daoist Master." Xu Xian bowed and expressed his gratitude.

After Xu Xian returned, Si Zang and Lin Feng returned to the Ghost Realm: "Suibian, will Xiao Qing be deceived by those people? I remember that Xiao Qing did not approve of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian's marriage."

"Yes." Lin Feng nodded: "99 has already collected all the information about the surrounding area. It seems that this world is the White Snake's Journey to Immortality. Xu Xian's sister has passed away, and a rat spirit has appeared in the city. Given Xiao Qing's personality in this world, she can be easily manipulated."

"A rat spirit?"

Si Zang A Shang took out a small tablet and smiled as he flipped through the plot of The Legend of the White Snake: "Fast forward...fast forward...rat spirit, oh, this little rat is interesting, but it's already been captured by Fahai, right?"

Lin Feng replied, "It's information gathered from casual conversations, but I haven't been able to find the specific person."

Si Zang fast-forwarded for a few more minutes, looked at the face on the screen that resembled Fahai's from earlier that day, and shook his head: "Forget it, let's protect Xu Xian first. I reckon Fahai will definitely be the first to give in."
