The arrival of Jing Le and his group attracted a crowd, as no strangers had visited their area for many years.

"Where did they come from, and what are they doing here? It's been years since any strangers have come..."

"Yes, these people are all so young and handsome. I wish I could snatch one of them and take him home as my husband."

"Who wouldn't want that? Look at these men, they're so different from the men of our dynasty, tall and strong..."

Jing Le, who was resting in the carriage, immediately perked up upon hearing these discussions.

I overheard women talking about Movie 3 and the others. Are there really women this bold these days?

Filled with curiosity, I lifted the carriage door and peered outside.

Good heavens, the local customs are really bold. They had just entered the city, and all the women they saw were tall and strong, and they were dressed quite provocatively, with half of their arms exposed.

The men, on the other hand, were all meek and submissive.

This feels more and more like a matriarchal society.

Duan Feibai, who was standing to the side, really wanted to tell Jing Le that this was the matriarchal society, not just something that seemed to be there.

He stumbled upon this place by chance and was shocked by the people of their country. In the end, a woman insisted on marrying him.

That's right, it's about marrying her.

He was seriously injured at the time and was unable to resist. If his subordinates hadn't arrived in time, he would have been kidnapped and forced into marriage.

Jing Le was not a resident of this world, so he knew nothing about it, while Ying San and the others assumed that Jing Le knew everything and refused to say anything.

This information gap has led to the current misunderstanding.

However, the system then told Jing Le about what had happened there.

[Host, this is indeed a matriarchal society. Therefore, the status of men here is the same as that of women in the Great Yong Dynasty, while the status of women is the same as that of men in the Great Yong Dynasty.]

This means that women are respected and men are subordinate, and men are even expected to stay at home to support their husbands and raise their children.

Jing Le looked at the people in front of her and saw that there were no major differences, except that the women were more confident and open-minded. Compared to modern times, they were still relatively conservative, so she accepted them well.

Just then, a girl walked over confidently and said to Shadow Three, "I like you. Come home with me. Don't worry, I am chaste and I am not married yet."

"Pfft!"

Jing Le was surprised to see such a confession scene as soon as she came out. She was really shocked and didn't laugh because it wasn't directed at anyone in particular.

She swore.

Ying San was completely clueless about how to handle this kind of situation, and could only keep radiating coldness, occasionally casting a pleading look at Jing Le.

It was as if it were saying, "Master, save me."

The others, all eager to see their boss make a fool of himself, remained silent and simply watched with mocking expressions.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you unwilling? My family is quite well-off, so don't worry. You won't need to be a guard if you follow me."

The woman thought Shadow Three was just an ordinary guard, which is why she said that.

After all, guards are still servants no matter what.

"Hehe, Shadow Three, tell me, would you rather be a bodyguard or go home with this young lady?"

Jing Le didn't bother teasing this familiar person and directly threw the question to Ying San.

“Master, I am naturally willing to be your bodyguard, and I will only serve as your bodyguard for life. Would you please step aside, Miss?”

Shadow Three immediately chimed in, and casually asked the girl blocking the way to move aside.

"If you don't want to, that's fine. I'm not the kind of person who forces people to do things against their will. Goodbye then."

After speaking, the girl left without blocking the way.

The onlookers were buzzing with discussion, mostly saying that the woman was of high status in their area, and that she was apparently the daughter of a city lord.

It's his good fortune to have his eye on Shadow 3, so why isn't he willing?

If someone else's son had caught the eye of the city lord's daughter, they would have already been eager to curry favor with him.

Of course, although Yin Le and his group heard the people's complaints, they didn't take it too seriously. Their purpose this time was to deal with the clones.

That's right, the reason they came here is because they sensed that the clone was in this town.

The group arrived at the inn, ate a meal, and then went to their rooms to rest.

The next day.

Jing Le and his group split into several teams to check if there was anything unusual about the town.

Jing Le's side only had Duan Feibai and Ying San, because Jing Le had a soul sensor and was responsible for finding out the whereabouts of his clone.

"The light is noticeably brighter here; it's inside."

Jing Le looked up at the three large characters "City Lord's Mansion" on the plaque and said leisurely.

"Shall we go take a look now?"

Duan Feibai and Jing Le exchanged a glance, pointed inside the City Lord's Mansion, and said.

"Let's go take a look."

After Jing Le finished speaking, he waved his hand, instantly concealing the three figures, and then leaped into the City Lord's Mansion.

The three of them followed the direction of their senses, making several turns, and finally stopped at the door of a study.

At that moment, an unexpected figure appeared before them—the woman who had boasted yesterday that she would marry Shadow Three.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Mother, I'm coming in."

The woman knocked on the study door and spoke to the person inside.

"Come in."

Then the door was opened from the inside, and Jing Le and the other two followed them inside.

Jing Le and the others also saw what was happening inside.

A dozen or so teenagers, all around ten or twenty years old, were kneeling on the ground. The dignified woman sitting beside the desk was the city lord.

The person who opened the door was a female guard.

What's going on here? What does this city lord want to do?

Jing Le was puzzled, but at this moment the sensing bead in her hand emitted a dazzling light, indicating that this person was Shi Changfeng's clone.

Fortunately, the light of the soul bead was also concealed when hiding its form, so no one noticed.

It's strange that the clone isn't male, but female.

Jing Le looked the female city lord up and down, unable to hide his curiosity.

Duan Feibai's lips twitched. He also found it unbelievable, but when he thought about the things he had encountered in his life, it didn't seem so strange anymore.

“Mother, a dozen or so people from outside came to the city yesterday. One of them has a temperament that perfectly matches my expectations. I want to bring him into the manor. Can you give me some people?”

The young woman was referring to Jing Le and his group, and the one she had her eye on was Shadow Three.

"Okay, go find your older sister and make sure things are handled cleanly."

The female city lord said one sentence and then continued with her work.

Jing Le walked closer and saw that it was another demonic formation, but none of them were fully formed. Presumably, the city lord was drawing them from memory.

Jing Le had a bold guess before: some of these clones would carry the memories of the original body, some would only have partial memories, and some would have no memories at all, or perhaps they would eventually remember some things intermittently.

The current female city lord should belong to the latter category.

Otherwise, it's simply unimaginable how he could adapt to this woman's body if he carried the memories of his original self.
