"Look, the girl isn't sad at all, but you're all sad. The girl sees this, isn't she sad too?"
"You're sad, I'm sad, and the girl is sad too. Let's call the Hundred Women's Pavilion the Pavilion of Sadness!"
After Pei Niangzi led Dong'er and the others to see the photo stone, she finally managed to appease the girls.
Everyone felt sorry for the girl, but she was exceptionally strong and insightful.
After seeing the commemorative stone, even Madam Pei felt much better.
The next day, when the female cultivators spoke to An Zhengzheng, they showed no sadness whatsoever.
They were all smiling.
"Are you going out, young lady?"
The cage box was returned to An Zhengzheng's room yesterday, and she's going out with it today.
"Yes, the little thing cried all night in the box, so we took it out for some fresh air."
An Zhengzheng gently stroked the box, her smile more than usual.
Yesterday, this mutated tiger transmitted new memories to her, memories that only the bonded master could know.
The brothers abused the female cultivator, drowned her two daughters, and drove her insane.
Disliking that she was too crazy to work, they released her again, causing the female cultivator to encounter all the subsequent events.
Now, isn't there still one problem that hasn't been solved?
"Your true form is too conspicuous, so I won't let you out. I'll follow whichever way your head is facing."
The mutated tiger seemed to understand An Zhengzheng's meaning, and it hissed softly inside the box.
They took An Zhengzheng there the whole way. The journey was long, taking two whole days by plane. It was a remote and impoverished mountain village.
The male cultivator had stopped cultivating immortality and seemed to be doing odd jobs on a regular basis. His house was now only decorated with white silk, and he couldn't even afford white lanterns.
After all the people who came to pay their respects during the day had left, he was still happily counting his money.
He showed absolutely no regard for the mangled remains of his parents and brother lying in the mourning hall.
An Zhengzheng knocked on his door.
Under the moonlight, An Zhengzheng's injured left cheek was hidden in the darkness, while her delicate right cheek stood out.
"Is there something you need, young lady?"
Ever since the wife the two brothers shared was divorced, no one has been willing to marry into their family.
An Zhengzheng said softly, "Excuse me, young master, how do I get to Rentong City? I think I'm lost."
When he had an evil thought, he was afraid of attracting the attention of his neighbors if he stayed at home.
His eyes darted around, and he said with a smile, "The road at night is difficult to travel. Let me take the girl out of the mountains."
"Isn't this a bit too much trouble for you, young master...?"
"Hehe, no trouble at all. Be careful walking alone at night, young lady! I'll take you out right away..."
He put the money in his pocket and began to lead the way, heading into even more remote mountains.
"Hehe, little lady..."
He turned around and saw the familiar tiger staring at him menacingly.
They were so scared they couldn't make a sound.
Not far away, An Zhengzheng cast a spell, setting up a magic array barrier around him.
The tiger's size returned to normal; it was no longer as big as a house.
"You, you, you're An Zhengzheng, aren't you?"
He had already heard during the day that the tiger had been taken away by An Zhengzheng of the Siyue Sect, and the news had spread throughout the martial arts world.
"You can't kill me! It's your spirit pet. If it kills me, you'll bear the consequences!"
This is also why he is not afraid of the mutated tiger coming to seek revenge.
He knew all too well how much these people who had a chance of becoming immortals valued their cultivation.
An Zhengzheng laughed, her voice unusually cold.
"You may not know, but my spirit pet has received a favor from that female cultivator."
Hearing this, the male cultivator breathed a sigh of relief and advised her, "Well, you can't be too harsh. That female cultivator has gone mad... she might already be dead! She didn't actively seek help from the seven major sects to uphold justice, you can't kill me without my permission!"
"You will lose your cultivation to repay the karma I caused you. You clearly have a chance to become an immortal, so you must not be foolish!"
That's really interesting.
This place is unlike the human world; if no victim seeks help, no one will uphold justice.
So the female cultivator died, and her brother was unreliable, so no one spoke up for her.
Even if the female cultivator goes to seek justice, because she is his wife, Heaven will actually punish her more leniently.
Isn't it ridiculous?! It's exactly like the human world.
A woman was assaulted by a stranger and was punished with 70% of the penalty.
If that person is her husband, it becomes domestic violence. First, it's a classic case of "even an upright official can't settle a family dispute," and then the punishment becomes 30%.
Isn't that even funnier?
Husbands who kill their wives are often sentenced to lighter punishments than wives who kill their husbands, because women are physically weaker and their crimes are more premeditated.
The world still teaches women to be fair-skinned, slim, and beautiful!
There are still people teaching women to be delicate and fragile!
A woman's choice of husband or wife gives that man the opportunity to mitigate the harm he has done to her.
That's absolutely ridiculous.
Since the heavens are unjust, then An Zhengzheng will be the one to uphold justice.
Even if she has to pay the price for it.
"If you grind him into mincemeat again, I won't be able to explain myself."
An Zhengzheng pointed to the ground, then used magic to dig some soil, telling the tiger, "Dig the ground."
The mutated tiger scratched its face, and following An Zhengzheng's demonstration, it actually started digging in the dirt.
"W-What are you going to do?" the man shouted. "Help! Help!!"
The magic circle barrier is used to isolate sound.
In the blink of an eye, a huge pit appeared before them.
"Are you going in by yourself, or do you want this tiger to take you in?"
An Zhengzheng looked at the male cultivator who was struggling to escape but couldn't get out of the magic circle, and asked indifferently.
That's enough, the tiger knows its limits.
An Zhengzheng left and sat quietly not far away, looking at the lake in the distance, without saying a word.
She didn't return to her original spot until she sensed the magic circle had ended.
The pit has been filled in.
This man had evil intentions, so he took An Zhengzheng to a very remote place, so remote that almost no one would come here.
An Zhengzheng reached out her hand to the mutated tiger.
"Has your wish been fulfilled?"
"Although you are the main one who should bear the consequences, as your master, I also bear part of the responsibility."
An Zhengzheng could clearly feel that he had dropped from the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage to the second level.
Huh? Only one layer fell?
An Zhengzheng herself was quite surprised.
"Go back to your Azure Chi Continent; the cultivation world is not suitable for you."
She's breaking her bond with the mutated tiger.
The tiger's expression was strange; it had clearly understood what An Zhengzheng had led it to do.
It stuck out its tongue and licked An Zhengzheng's wounded scar, as if it knew that An Zhengzheng would have to live with this wound for thousands of years.
"What are you doing?" An Zhengzheng smiled, her smile appearing gentle under the moonlight. "...I'm not blaming you."
All things considered, the tiger did do what she wanted to do but couldn't.

Excuse me for asking, but I need to come up with a new title for the book. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm completely stuck.
