Aunt He was choked by my question.

She paused and took out a talisman paper. "A master saved me. He gave me a life-saving talisman."

"It's not a life-saving talisman, actually. It's a talisman that absorbs yang energy," the system mocked.

I sneered, "Old thing. Deserved to die."

Back at the inn, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

This subplot was too heavy for me, and I couldn't digest it.

I always felt that the era when women were treated as less than human had long passed. But now I understand that even though it's in the past, it can only be considered belated compensation.

Professor Bai said that scars cannot be repaired.

Moreover, looking around, we still have to question whether this era of oppressing women has truly come to an end.

It seems like there are endless shackles that need to be placed on women: unable to dye their hair in bright colors, unable to wear revealing clothes, unable to wear heavy makeup...

I am me.

But society makes me feel like I am not me.

"Master, are you asleep?" Wen Huai knocked on my door.

I opened the door. "What's wrong?"

Wen Huai had a serious expression and hesitated for a long time before asking, "Will you keep your promise today?"

"What?" I didn't react for a moment.

Wen Huai suddenly leaned forward and hugged me. "If Master doesn't speak, I'll take it as Master's silent agreement."

His heart was beating rapidly.

[Master doesn't seem to be in a good mood, is it because of Miss Acha's matter?]

[Will it feel better if I give you a hug?]

[I hope Master won't be sad.]

[It's so embarrassing, my heart is beating too fast...]

I found it funny and patted Wen Huai's back. "Is your heart beating so fast because you have a heart condition?"
