Chapter 582 Intergenerational Sacrifice 2
"Why sacrifice grandchildren instead of biological children?"
After listening for a moment in silence, Fourth Wife finally asked the question.
"Explain in detail!"
Lu the gambling king also spoke up.
Wang Sanmu swallowed hard, looked at us, then at Fourth Aunt and Gambling King Lü, and whispered, "Boss, bloodline prolongs life, the closer the bloodline, the more stable it is, and the more controllable the backlash is. Although the fetal essence of the biological child is pure, Heaven forbids close relatives from taking the life of another. Forcibly borrowing it can easily trigger a bloodline backlash. At best, the offspring will have a shortened lifespan and be sickly; at worst, the lineage will be severed. It's not worth the loss."
As Wang Sanmu spoke, he observed our expressions. Seeing that none of us showed any unusual reaction, he continued, "Besides, Fourth Aunt plans to have children through IVF in bulk. With surrogacy, nobody knows what kind of spirit is inside the baby; the risks are too great. Grandparent-grandchild relationships are different!"
When the topic of grandparent-grandchild bonding came up, Wang Sanmu's eyes lit up.
"Uncle Wang, tell me, how is the affection between grandparents and grandchildren different? We really don't know anything about this!" Fatty Lin interrupted Wang Sanmu, his curiosity overflowing.
"Why is it different?"
Wang Sanmu chuckled and said, "Grandparents and grandchildren from different generations are not only connected by blood and share the same destiny, but they also lack a direct causal bond. Even if there's a backlash, the first person to come after them is their own father who offered them up, not the boss!"
"Do you think it's good or bad that grandparents love their grandchildren more?"
After saying that, Wang Sanmu asked a question in return.
Fatty Lin didn't say anything, and neither did I.
"If the preparations are done well, using a newborn grandchild to perform the Seven Star Life-Extending Formation will be twice as effective. These newborns are born with a pure and untainted nature, with the most abundant primordial yang energy and the purest vitality. They are not tainted by any worldly impurities and will definitely be able to suppress the boss's declining organ foundation. They will have several times more lifespan than a three-month-old fetus and can easily last for more than ten years."
Wang Sanmu shook his head and spoke, causing Si Tai and Lu the gambling king's eyes to light up at the same time.
Lin the Fat and I exchanged a glance, both seeing apprehension in each other's eyes. Wang Sanmu was too wicked, and Gambler Lü and his fourth wife were ruthless; those two had their eyes on him.
"Master Wang, will there be any problems doing this?" Fourth Aunt asked slowly, her tone carrying a hint of tension that was barely perceptible.
"Fourth Master, as long as it's done cleanly, no one will be able to find out anything. Not only that, but even the karmic consequences of the Heavenly Dao will be weakened by the bloodline of the next generation. The person who performed the spell, as well as the boss himself, will suffer less damage," Wang Sanmu said in a low voice.
To put it bluntly, this is about downplaying and glossing the sin of sacrificing one's closest relatives to protect others from disaster, which is nothing but self-deception and burying one's head in the sand.
Fourth Wife didn't answer, but instead frowned, seemingly lost in thought.
Lu the gambling king didn't say anything, but closed his eyes as if he were asleep.
Seeing them like this, I knew that they were weighing the pros and cons and figuring out who in the family would be suitable to give birth to a grandchild suitable for sacrifice for Gambling King Lui.
"We'll talk about this later!"
After a long pause, Fourth Wife slowly spoke, but did not continue.
"Understood! Understood!" Wang Sanmu nodded repeatedly, flatteringly saying, "Fourth Madam, Boss, don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped. I absolutely won't let a word slip. When the time is right, we'll quietly make our plans!"
"I know, you must be tired after working so hard for so long, go and rest!" Fourth Wife waved her hand, giving him the order to leave.
"Why!"
Wang Sanmu nodded, bent over and backed away until he was two meters away, then turned and walked away.
I squinted at his retreating figure and frowned.
Wang Sanmu, that old scoundrel, is really too cunning.
After realizing that his illegitimate son had been taken hostage in São Paulo by the gambling king Lu, he immediately proposed this plan of intergenerational sacrifice to prolong his life.
His goal was simple: to increase his own value and ensure that his illegitimate child would not be sacrificed.
"Boss, I'll prepare thirteen doses of the herbal medicine for you. I'll also draw a peace talisman for you when I get back to help suppress the evil spirits in your body. My brother and I will definitely help you stabilize your foundation for the next five years."
After Wang Sanmu left, Fatty Lin spoke up.
"Xiaolin, Thirteen, thank you for your help!" Fourth Aunt said softly.
"No trouble at all!" Fatty Lin waved his hand with a smile.
"Alright, you can all go back now. I'll stay here and watch over things!" Fourth Aunt said.
"Sister Ling, let Thirteen and Ni'er go back first. You and I will stay here and keep watch. I'll go back when he finishes brewing the medicine. These next few days are crucial. We can't leave the boss alone!" Fatty Lin said.
"That's fine too!" Fourth Wife nodded.
For the next two weeks, one of the three of us stayed in the hospital room with Gambling King Lu.
Lui's body also recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although he has recovered, he is not as good as before. He needs to use a wheelchair for more than 90% of the time. It is impossible for him to remain a boy until his death like before, at least not in the short term.
As for Shi Shi, Gambling King Lu never asked her a single question.
He knew very well how he had recovered this time.
As for Shishi, she took the money and left happily to pursue true love.
She was also very happy, because she could never earn this much money on her own in her entire life.
With the money and house given to her by the fourth wife, she could enjoy the rest of her life as long as she doesn't do anything reckless.
But there's always a "but," and some things just won't go unpunished; it's just a matter of time.
Years later, Shi Shi was completely deceived by her true love, suffering a mental breakdown that became a trending topic.
Back to the present, it wasn't until New Year's Day 10 years later that we no longer had to stay up all night at the hospital.
During this period, we didn't take on many jobs; the gambling king had given us more than enough.
In addition to the additional five million each month, he also gives 100,000 for each night he spends the night with clients.
For Lui, the gambling king, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Five days after New Year's Day, Zhong Tianzhen, who hadn't contacted us for a long time, suddenly called Fatty Lin.
Since what happened with Wu Peitian, Fatty Lin hasn't contacted her for a long time.
When Long Nier cast the Gu on Wu Peitian as a warning to others, many people in the industry who knew us called to inquire, but they were just asking. Only Zhong Tianzhen, that fool, called to persuade us to remove the Gu from Wu Peitian. She has no brains at all.
After that incident, Fatty Lin never contacted her again. It's been so long, there must be something she needs to do if she contacts Fatty Lin now.
"Answer it, see what she wants!"
Seeing Fatty Lin cursing idiots on his phone, I answered the call for him.
"Fatty, help me! I'm in trouble!"
When the call connected, Zhong Tianzhen's voice, trembling with tears, came through.
"You're one of Boss Huang's men. If something happens, why are you coming to me instead of Boss Huang?" Fatty Lin said coldly.
"Fatty, only you can help me with this!" Zhong Tianzhen said, choking back tears.
"What do you mean only I can help you?" Fatty Lin laughed angrily.
After Wu Peitian's incident, Fatty Lin did not contact Zhong Tianzhen, but Zhong Tianzhen did not contact Fatty Lin either!
Now that something's happened, they know they've come looking for us.
