"I can't believe it! Over 3,800 years?!" Tiao Dau jumped up directly, "What's going on? Are you from the year 5856..."
"Quite far, huh?"
"Then you can't call me brother anymore... how about calling me ancestor?"
"Is this your main focus?!"
"Just kidding... but I really didn't expect us to be so different. How was it back then? Was technology very advanced?"
"Before the year 2345, it was called the 'Information Age.' From that point on... humanity officially entered the 'era of genes.'"
"What does that mean?"
"Humanity has reached a first-level civilization."
"Wow! By the way, you mentioned earlier that the consequences of Japan's release of nuclear contaminated water will become apparent in 7 years. What does that mean? What happened?"
"This... is precisely why humanity has been forced to enter the era of genes."
"What do you mean?"
"Japan's dumping of nuclear contaminated water has not only disrupted the Earth's ecosystem, but more terrifyingly... it has activated an ancient seal in Antarctica..."
The conversation was interrupted by sudden shouting from downstairs, followed by the sound of tables, chairs, and benches breaking. A waiter hurried over and said, "Mr.Dau! There's a fight downstairs! They're banging on tables and throwing chairs! You should go and take a look!" "Causing trouble in my territory? Right away!"
A man and a woman are arguing in the hall. Both of them are around thirty years old, dressed in identical black and white robes. They both seem to be disciples of the Yunqi temple. It's more accurate to say that the woman is just venting her emotions unilaterally. "Is it the same for me to take the initiative with you? Look at how good Third Brother treats his wife. And then look at you! Following you is like having bad luck for eight lifetimes! You can't even earn money, and you don't know how to please your wife! You're simply useless!"
"It's just a small matter... no need to make such a big deal out of it. If you want to eat it, I'll give it to you... I didn't know you wanted that piece of grilled meat... why are you getting so worked up over such a small thing?"
The woman, with an air of superiority, glared at the man, "You're just selfish! You've never thought about me! Look at Fourth Brother, he's already at the eighth level of the Spirit Realm! And look at you, you have nothing! We were both taught by the same master, how come you're such a waste of space?!"
"Sigh... you know... I have no interest in cultivating immortality... it's just for your sake..."
"I like it? Wasn't it our agreement to join Yunqi temple together? Why are you saying you don't like it now?"
"Huh, wasn't it you who forced me? I was doing business, and you said I couldn't handle it. You kept causing trouble at the shop every few days, making it impossible to do business. In the end, I ended up with a lot of debt!"
"I went to work as a laborer at Mr. Li's house in the city, and you said I was worthless, only capable of doing physical work, bringing shame to you as a disciple of Yunqi temple."
"I said I wanted to go elsewhere to make a living, it was just a simple idea. But what about you? You curse me in front of the children, calling me a deserter and unfilial to my parents..."
"You want everything to go your way! No matter how small the matter, if it's not to your liking, you throw a tantrum! And any idea I have, you dismiss as worthless."
"Hmph! Are you even worthy of having ideas? After all these years, it's still me who's been supporting the family, isn't it? If it weren't for the monthly stipend from Yunqi temple, you would have starved to death long ago! You pauper! Good-for-nothing!"
"Do you think that being a cultivator can earn a lot of money and is respectable, so you have to force me to go up the mountain to cultivate? But do you know? I just don't like cultivating! I prefer a simple and quiet life."
"So you're just useless! Why should others be able to become rich and prosperous? Enjoying leisurely activities? And I have to spend my whole life just toiling for a living?! Why?"
"Do you think I really like cultivating? Do you know how dangerous it is every time I go on a mission? I just want to earn more money too!"
"I also want to be the wife of a wealthy and influential man! I want to live a life where I wake up every day with a dozen maids waiting on me!"
"Well, Mr. Li's wife used to be a prostitute, and she made it! Why can't I? I have looks, I have a figure, what's lacking? Just because I married a useless man like you!"
"Then work towards that goal! Mr. Li also succeeded through his own efforts."
"Work hard? What use are you to me then? Why can other men earn hundreds of taels of silver every year, while you can't earn a single coin! You are useless! Good for nothing!"
"Hehe... Let's be fair! Before entering Yunqi temple, I worked diligently as a servant at Mr. Li's house, earning one or two taels a month! Although the earnings were not much, it was stable and safe."
"She doesn't cook or clean at home! I can only drink cold water and eat hard bread when I go back every day. I have to pay her part of my earnings every month! Not only that... she uses the excuse of preventing me from drinking flower wine to only leave me a few coins each month!"
"How much money is that? Not even enough for a cup of tea! Every time Lao Zhang asks me out for a drink, I feel embarrassed to tell him it's because I don't have money! This is still not enough..."
"Every time I go out to buy groceries, this woman still says to me, 'A grown man like you doesn't even have this little money.' Is this how people talk?"
"Hmph! A poor wretch is just a poor wretch! If you brought back tens or hundreds of taels every month, would I still say this? Useless! You can't even beg for a warm meal!"
"Having lofty aspirations but lacking practical skills!"
"Disgusting! Useless! Sickening!" The woman glared fiercely at her husband, her face devoid of any tenderness, filled instead with disdain and disgust.
These insulting words sounded particularly harsh to Tiao Dau, "The ancients said 'marrying an unvirtuous wife ruins three generations,' and it's absolutely true..."
"I have seen this kind of woman in books, and the criticism of them in history has slowed down the development of society by nearly fifty years."
"Isn't this the 'Little fairy' brainwashed by toxic positivity in the 21st century? Why are there such people everywhere?"
"Little fairy? Yes! That's the name! The book says they have been brainwashed by the toxic positivity of capitalism and become crazy and frenzied. Not only the married ones, but the unmarried ones even more so..."
"My generation already had a negative marriage rate. How about your side?"
"It's still okay on my side. But that was after a period of great upheaval... Female power was prevalent, which is simply unimaginable. But history repeatedly proves that they could never become the mainstream of the world. Men and women are destined for unequal rights from the moment of birth."
"In my time, there were many interesting things... like women fighting for the right to pass on their surnames to their children. They say that since the child is born from the woman, it's only logical to use the mother's surname. But anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't say such nonsense."
"I cannot judge right or wrong, but this situation has indeed persisted for many years. Society was on the verge of collapse. It wasn't until the mass production of the Elon Musk catgirl robot that it quickly became popular worldwide. Not to mention China, even the romantically renowned French men were eager to purchase it."
"I've heard about this! Is it effective?"
"I'm not sure, I haven't used it... I'm in a world over three thousand eight hundred years later. I've only learned about these things from books and videos."
"Alright... they've almost finished arguing. Let's go!"
"You two can go home and argue if you want to!" Aragaki Nigaki shouted loudly, "Stop it already!"
"Wait! First, compensate for the broken things! You dare to cause trouble on my territory?" Tiao Dau sword technique suddenly emerged, Devil sword Chaos swiftly flew over and hovered in mid-air.
"Aragaki Nigaki? Death fairy! Tiao Dau? Hehe... Have you also betrayed the human race?"
The woman showed disdain and said in a strange manner, "There is already a traitor in Shu Mountain. Now there's another one? Aren't you afraid that the people in the city will know that you are in cahoots with him, and no one will visit your shop anymore?"
With this sentence, she instantly offended three people.
The man bowed to Tiao Dau and said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't take offense. My wife tends to speak nonsense, and you two..."
Xiao Yao suddenly appeared on the stairs, followed by three female students including Niu Xiaohua, and said, "You can accuse me of betrayal, but Tiao Dau and Aragaki have known each other for a long time, and they are also fellow villagers!"
"Oh, so they are fellow villagers, huh? No wonder..." The woman's tone was now extremely sarcastic.
Tiao Dau, Aragaki Nigaki, and Xiao Yao glared at her, suppressing their anger.
"Hmph! What are you looking at? Haven't seen a beautiful woman before? Disgusting!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Xiaohua couldn't hold back any longer, and gracefully floated down from the second floor.
