"The married women leave home, abandoning their children and husbands without care; the unmarried ones are dissatisfied with their father's discipline, speaking ill of him and calling him 'sperm donor.' Meanwhile, the women serving as officials directly go on strike."
"Fuxi Hall never expected this situation and was caught off guard. The area of Yangzhou instantly became semi-paralyzed."
"The newly appointed head of Our sect negotiated with Zhang Zihan for years, ultimately reaching a compromise with Fuxi Hall. The contract stipulates that Yunqi temple will add a position of deputy head, to be held by a female disciple in charge of external affairs."
"They believe that women should be in charge both at home and outside. That's why Our sect's representative to the outside world is Sister Lu instead of the sect leader. She is the second generation vice leader of Yunqi temple."
"This is also why Xin Lian dares to insult her husband in public. In Yangzhou, there is no divorce, only separation."
"Young men who have lost faith in this atmosphere, but have the concept of carrying on the family line, feel unprecedented despair under the urging of their families and the pressure from women... So some people, unable to bear the pressure, despair and end their lives..."
"Is the man so weak? Is he about to die?" Tushan Li rolled his eyes and found everyone staring at him, immediately covering his mouth and nose. "In fact, ordinary women still long to marry an ideal husband, but Nuwa Temple repeatedly tells every woman that they can find a better man, and if they don't, they shouldn't settle. Therefore, men can't afford to marry, and women aim high and are unwilling to marry just anyone." "Oh my goodness! Zhang Zihan must be a post-2000 Little fairy!" Tiao Dau exclaimed angrily.
"What does '00s fairy girl' mean?"
"That's our local dialect. You wouldn't understand." Aragaki Nigaki got up from the bed, "Go on, I really want to know what they want to do with Brother Dau's business... I mean... shop."
"Even today, the gender divide in Yangzhou remains very serious. What Sister Lu told you about 'within five days' is actually related to Fuxi Hall and Nuwa Temple."
"How do you say it?"
"Sister Lu pities the innocent and is unwilling to kill indiscriminately, so she imprisoned the non-harmful demon clan at Qingyu Mountain. But this matter was discovered by Fuxi Hall and Nuwa Temple. Both factions want to kill these demons, and Sister Lu has been trying to stop them."
"Why?"
"It's simple... Fuxi Hall represents men's resistance, they want to fight, in any form; on the other hand, Nuwa Temple wants to prove to the women of Yangzhou that without men, women alone can still protect a place."
"Xin Lian is from Nuwa Temple," Tiao Dau said, "I know why she's after me..."
"Why?" Everyone stared at Tiao Dau curiously.
Aragaki Nigaki pondered as he spoke, "Brother Dau was already very famous. He was once the strongest disciple of The Eight Martial sect of Kunlun. Moreover, he established the vast commercial empire of Qian Da Ji Yuan. He has truly become the most successful 'man' among the human race."
Tiao Dau waved his hand, "Hey hey hey! Aragaki, you can't say that! You can't say that! Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
Aragaki continued, "The various demons in the human world regard me as their leader. In a sense, I am the most successful 'man' of the demon race. In the eyes of Nuwa Temple, we are first and foremost 'men', and only then do racial differences matter."
Niu Xiaohua nodded, "Husband, are you saying that their purpose in doing this is just to suppress 'men'?"
Xin Si added, "It is to use the battle between humans and demons to suppress all the men in the Nine Provinces."
Ke Lingfei crossed her arms, "I see, by cutting off Brother Dau's source of wealth, inciting all the people to attack him together, and preventing him from teaming up with Brother Aragaki, they have weakened our fighting power."
"It definitely couldn't have been something that Xin Lian could come up with," Xin Si said.
Aragaki Nigaki muttered, "Getting this done could solve the decades-long problem of Yangzhou Female power. If it's not resolved properly..."
"The reason for choosing Yangzhou as the headquarters in the first place was because the women here spend money like water, their purchasing power is astonishing... I didn't expect there to be such a history behind it," Tiao Dau sighed.
" Xin Si, thank you for coming to tell us this. And also, thank you for helping us thank Master Lu... At the same time, I also want to know her opinion on this matter," Aragaki Nigaki asked.
"That's one of the reasons I came here. Senior Sister wants to ask you to go find Zhang Zihan and ask her to stop. Then save the Yaozu of Qingyu Mountain and leave Yangzhou."
"What? Zhang Zihan... she's quite old this year, isn't she?"
"How amazing, she's just reached the age of 70."
"70 years old?! Wow... she's really able to live..."
"Then why is she looking for us?"
"Just because of the two words you just said - 'shit'. Although I don't understand what it means, but Shijie said she only heard you three say this word. She feels that there must be some kind of connection between you."
Xin Si finished speaking, Tiao Dau and Aragaki Nigaki took a sharp breath.
"In that case, we must go."
Niu Xiaohua looked worried, "Husband, today is the sixteenth of October. I'm worried there will be a full moon tonight. Let me go with you."
Aragaki Nigaki waved his hand, "Xiaohua, this is something only Brother Dau and I can handle."
"Well... then please take care of yourself."
"I will take care of myself."
"Wait... seeing her is not that easy."
"How so?"
"Twenty years ago, when she was eighty years old, Zhang Zihan announced her retirement in Xiandu City. Although her mansion is located within the city, no one has seen her in the past twenty years."
“Why? Does it cost money to see her?”
Xin Si shook her head, "Not a single penny, just need to solve three secret commands. If you can solve them, there might even be a reward of a thousand gold coins. This reward has been posted in Xiandu City for twenty years, and no one has been able to do it."
"So difficult?"
"Extremely difficult... I've heard people who have been there say it's simply maddening. The secret orders seem to have almost no connection, like they're writing about objects and scenes. In short, no one can figure it out. What's terrifying is that it's different every time, she randomly selects three sections for visitors to respond to."
"How the hell does she do that? Isn't there any pattern?"
Tiao Dau After a moment of thought, "Tell me what you know."
"Zhang Zihan is the head of Nuwa Temple, can her subordinates not see her?" Ke Lingfei asked.
"They can't, now the affairs of Nuwa Temple are all taken care of by the deputy head, but she still makes some important decisions."
"What if she's already dead? Could it be possible that her subordinates are deliberately creating difficulties to prevent anyone from seeing her?" Tushan Li suddenly said.
Xin Si shook her head, "People have been speculating like this for ten years... her mansion is protected by a spiritual barrier. This proves that she is definitely alive. The spiritual heritage and power of every living being are unique."
"Alright, let's talk about the secret command. I want to see how difficult it is!" Tiao Dau adjusted his posture and listened attentively.
Xin Si looks solemn, with focused eyes, gazing at the azure sky outside the window, speaking clearly and fluently.
"On the other side of that mountain, beyond the sea, there is a group of Smurfs. They are lively and clever, mischievous and agile. They live freely in that green forest!"
