Chapter 208 [A Well-Organized Cycle of Fortune] (6000 words)

“Not human…” Chu Keqing asked in a low voice.

Chen Yan frankly stated: "The literal meaning."

Chu Keqing fell silent again.

Chen Yan bluntly stated: "Two female demons, one rabbit spirit, and one Weasel spirit."

Chu Keqing gasped!
Two female demons!

and……

Suddenly, her mind raced with thoughts.

What if!
if!

Normally, as long as Wang Chuyi doesn't have any perverted fantasies or likes to have sex with animals, he's fine.

The fact that two demons could become his wives means that both of them must have at least reached the stage of human transformation!
Two demon cultivators at the Transformation Realm!!
Chu Keqing took a deep breath and whispered, "What is the cultivation level of these two female demons?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment.

Hmm, that rabbit spirit, its cultivation level is average, and it's not very good at fighting either.

However, that weasel-like female demon had two rather good magical abilities.

Then Chen Yan looked at Chu Keqing: "One of them can pin you to the ground and beat you up, no problem."

Chu Keqing: ? ? ?

Chen Yan wasn't lying.

Leaving aside the fact that Chu Keqing has the cultivation level of the Returning Origin Realm.

But the cultivators in this world are all weaklings!
Yun Zong's cultivation method was inherently flawed, and his vital energy could not nourish his physical body, which resulted in Chu Keqing's mediocre constitution.

More importantly, none of the cultivation methods in this world contain any magical spells! Neither does the Cloud Sect's!

The Yun Sect's methods of attack are nothing more than some talismanic arts.

Therefore, Chu Keqing, a cultivator at the Returning Origin Realm, is actually just a powerless puppet, possessing cultivation but lacking any real lethality.

During the previous trial in the Japanese secret realm, Chu Keqing only stood aside and provided support during the battle.

That weasel-like female demon could really pin Chu Keqing to the ground and beat her to a pulp!

Chen Yan thought that after he said that, Chu Keqing would probably give up the idea, but he didn't expect that the woman's eyes would flicker even more after hearing it!

She became increasingly agitated, even reaching out to grab Chen Yan's sleeve, her eyes gleaming: "May I ask, senior! Are those two female demons good or evil?"

"I'd say I'm a good person. I haven't done anything particularly evil, and... with me around, they wouldn't dare to do anything bad," Chen Yan said frankly.

Chu Keqing suddenly laughed and clapped her hands: "That would be perfect!"

As she spoke, she gripped Chen Yan's sleeve tightly. In her excitement, she didn't even realize that she had leaned half her body against him, and her voluptuous body pressed unintentionally against Chen Yan's arm.

"Senior! My mind is made up! I want to take Wang Chuyi as my personal disciple! And I can hire his two wives at a high price to be the protectors and retainers of my Yun Sect!!"

Two demon cultivators who have taken human form! And they're benevolent demons at that!
That's like Yun Sect suddenly gaining two powerful henchmen!
With Wang Chuyi around, his two wives naturally favored Yunzong!
With Senior Chen Yan around, those two female demons will definitely behave themselves!
Chu Keqing's eyes sparkled.

This apprentice is a great deal!
A talented successor who will most likely reach the Returning Origin Realm in the future!
Two demon cultivators at the Hua Xing stage could serve as powerful protectors within a sect!
Buy one get two free!

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan immediately understood Chu Keqing's plan and couldn't help but take a closer look at the woman—to be able to earn such a prestigious title as "Old Master Zi," Chu Keqing was indeed shrewd and daring.

"If that's how you see it, then go talk to Wang Chuyi, and he'll naturally have no more concerns. As for me, I only have one request: I'm the one who brought him here, so let him decide for himself."

After saying this, Chen Yan frowned and said, "Did you invite me here today just to talk about Wang Chuyi?"

Seeing that Chen Yan did not object, Chu Keqing was delighted and slowly said, "It's not just this one thing, there are other things as well."

She coughed, her smile fading, before speaking seriously: "Regarding the matter of Luo Qing deceiving Ms. Lu Xiuting, the senior asked me to clean up the mess. I also met with Ms. Lu Xiuting and explained to her that the nonsense about mother and daughter not being allowed to meet was fabricated by Luo Qing."

Later, I got to know Lu Xiuting and we had a few interactions. I knew she was Lu Sisi's mother, so I naturally treated her well. As a result, we got along quite well these days.

But this morning, I received news that Lu Xiuting had run into some trouble.

Chen Yan's heart skipped a beat: "What happened to her?"

"Lu Xiuting was several months pregnant and was taken to the hospital in the middle of the night yesterday, but she miscarried."

Chen Yan put down his teacup.

Miscarriage?
Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Lu Xiuting is not young after all. Getting pregnant at this age is considered advanced maternal age. If something goes wrong, it could..."

But then he stopped talking.

“Senior, I had a few interactions with Lu Xiuting a few days ago. I used the Qi Observation Technique to examine her. According to my observation of her destiny, she was not destined to miscarry.”

Chen Yan thought for a moment and then asked, "Where is she now?"

"I heard this morning that she's in the hospital. They say she's still a bit weak after the miscarriage and is staying there for treatment. I was planning to go see her today anyway..."

"Let's go take a look together." Chen Yan stood up.

·
Lu Xiuting was staying at a well-known maternal and child hospital in Jinling Prefecture.

With Yang Jiaming's wealth, he could naturally afford to pay for Lu Xiuting to stay in a private hospital room.

Chen Yan drove with Chu Keqing to the hospital, and Chu Keqing recounted some details of what happened on the way.

Because Chu Keqing had previously approached Lu Xiuting on Chen Yan's advice, the two got along quite well after meeting—after all, Chu Keqing had intentionally lowered her stance to get closer to her.

Lu Xiuting herself was superstitious, so she had extra respect and trust for this "Old Man Zi".

After her sudden miscarriage, she contacted Chu Keqing in the hospital after the surgery and told her about her accident—in fact, she also wanted to ask for help, hoping that the famous Master Zi could help her predict her fate.

Judging from that, it seems that Lu Xiuting's luck wasn't very good before the miscarriage.

It seems that everything was normal when I first got pregnant.

As the months go by, more and more unpleasant things happen in life.

Lu Xiuting was extremely anxious after suffering a miscarriage.

There's a reason why she's already over forty and still insists on having a third child.

·
Lu Xiuting was able to marry Yang Jiaming in her early years by forcibly defying fate and changing her destiny. Through the transaction of the "voice in the jade", she borrowed destiny and luck, and also improved her appearance.

She captivated Yang Jiaming with her outstanding looks and then used a forcibly borrowed marriage fortune to ensnare him.

As I grow older, the luck and destiny I once relied on are gradually fading away.

Moreover, after her luck turned sour, her appearance also declined sharply.

As the saying goes, beauty fades and love wanes; when love wanes, favor ends.

When Yang Jiaming was young, he was captivated by the beauty of Lu Xiuting and bound by an unseen and intangible fate.

Now that both are gone, and the couple is middle-aged, having been married for almost twenty years, where is the novelty and passion left? Gradually, their feelings have faded.

Yang Jiaming was only in his early forties, a man in his prime at that age, with considerable wealth and a good family background. Naturally, there were many temptations associated with doing business outside.

Lu Xiuting certainly felt a sense of crisis!
Therefore, her insistence on having a third child is also a way for her to solidify her position.

In the port city, many families still hold the traditional belief that "more children bring more blessings."

Yang Jiaming also values ​​this quite a bit.

Lu Xiuting had previously given birth to a son and a daughter for Yang Jiaming.

The couple had already decided that their eldest daughter, Lu Sisi, was a "bad apple" who had been "raised to death."

The second son is Yang Jiaming's only heir.

One seems a bit too few.

Lu Xiuting thought to herself, if only she could give birth to another child for Yang Jiaming—or to put it more bluntly, give birth to a son.

Given the Yang family's traditional belief that "many sons bring many blessings," and considering that both of her sons are heirs to Yang Jiaming, her position within the Yang family would naturally be much more secure.

If I have two sons, then the two heirs of Yang Jiaming will be my own.

The elders of the Yang family naturally valued themselves—after all, there was a traditional belief that having many children meant many blessings.

As for Yang Jiaming, Lu Xiuting's position will become even more important—because replacing Lu Xiuting would mean undermining the positions of his two sons who are heirs, and the sunk cost would be too great.

Therefore, Lu Xiuting, who was in her early forties, resolutely decided to try for a third child.

·
We drove to the Women and Children's Hospital.

Before getting off the bus, Chen Yan even took out the white fox's inner core. After a transformation, he transformed into a simple-looking young man who looked about seven or eight parts like Wang Chuyi.

Chu Keqing glanced at Chen Yan and immediately understood his intention. She walked into the lobby of the hospital's inpatient building, while Chen Yan followed behind her in a well-behaved and obedient manner.

In a VIP ward on the tenth floor of the maternity ward, Chu Keqing pushed open the door, glanced inside, and immediately smiled gently before striding in.

"Ms. Lu, I've come to see you!"

Chu Keqing entered the ward, and Chen Yan followed cautiously behind her.

In the ward, Lu Xiuting lay on the bed. When she saw Chu Keqing walk in, her face, which was originally filled with sorrow and grief, showed a look of surprise and astonishment.

"Elder Zi! Why did you come in person?" Lu Xiuting seemed to subconsciously struggle to sit up.

Chu Keqing walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. She placed her hand on Lu Xiuting's arm and whispered, "I've already told you, call me Xiao Chu."

Lu Xiuting was stunned: "No, how could I dare to address Elder Zi like that? You, we are equals, and besides, I have the utmost respect for Elder Zi..."

Chu Keqing's breath caught in her throat upon hearing this.

Interacting as peers?

Who wants to associate with someone their own age?
I'm in my thirties, you're in your forties!

Moreover, you are Chen Yan's future mother-in-law!

I treat you as an equal, I consider you my sister?

Does Lu Sisi have to call me "Auntie"? Then Chen Yan and I are from different generations?
Absolutely not!!!

Seeing Chu Keqing and Lu Xiuting exchanging pleasantries, Chen Yan stood quietly behind Chu Keqing, looking like a junior disciple.

He stole a glance at Lu Xiuting on the hospital bed, his brows furrowing slightly.

Lu Xiuting's complexion was naturally not good. She had just had a miscarriage last night, and her face was pale with a hint of sallowness.

Her complexion made her look three to five years older than when we last met. More importantly…

Chen Yan sensed that Lu Xiuting seemed to have gotten a little uglier.

After exchanging a few words with Lu Xiuting in a low voice, Chu Keqing took out a talisman from her bag.

“I am a practitioner, so I won’t give you any worldly things or gifts. You don’t need those things living here. This amulet has the effect of warding off evil and bringing good fortune, and it can also calm your mind. You can keep it by your pillow; it will naturally benefit you.”

Lu Xiuting immediately showed a grateful look, accepted it with both hands, and thanked her sincerely a few more times.

Then she looked at Chen Yan behind Chu Keqing: "And this is..."

"Oh, one of my disciples, who is training with me." Chu Keqing said casually.

Chen Yan gave Lu Xiuting a perfectly timed, honest and simple smile, and nodded and smiled back.

Lu Xiuting didn't think much of it, withdrew her gaze, and whispered to Chu Keqing, "Elder Zi, I have some questions I'd like to ask you..."

Chu Keqing immediately understood and casually said, "Chu Yi, you go outside and wait for me."

Chen Yan had already seen what he wanted to see. He bent down, nodded, responded in a rough voice, and quickly left the ward.

·
In the corridor outside the ward, Chen Yan casually strolled to the elevator entrance, found an empty chair, sat down, and pondered something.

Just then, with a ding, the elevator arrived at this floor.

As the elevator doors opened, a father and son slowly stepped out.

Chen Yan glanced at it, his eyes lit up, but he quickly lowered his head and looked away.

The ones who came out were Yang Jiaming and his son.

Chen Yan had already met Yang Jiaming before, and at this moment Yang Jiaming looked solemn, clearly with a hint of disappointment, accompanied by a little boy.

She looked to be around ten years old, with facial features that clearly bore some resemblance to Yang Jiaming, and her eyes and brows also showed a hint of Lu Sisi's appearance.

Chen Yan immediately deduced that this must be Lu Sisi's younger brother.

After Lu Sisi was plagued by misfortune from a young age, Yang Jiaming and Lu Xiuting had a second child with a mistress.

The child wasn't tall and was rather thin—boys this age are in a rapid growth spurt and don't usually get fat. His appearance was just average, though.

In terms of appearance, he is Lu Sisi's younger brother, born of the same mother and father, but he looks only of average appearance.

Chen Yan had already changed his appearance using shapeshifting magic, so Yang Jiaming naturally didn't recognize him. He walked past Chen Yan with his son and headed into the ward.

Chen Yan had already stood up and slowly followed behind, his eyes fixed on the boy's back as he scrutinized him...

When Chen Yan arrived at Lu Xiuting's ward, he watched as Yang Jiaming and his son went in. He deliberately waited a while before pushing the door open and entering.

Inside, Yang Jiaming was already exchanging pleasantries with Chu Keqing in a very polite manner.

He was from the port city, where people are often superstitious and respect those who practice metaphysics and spiritual cultivation.

Chen Yan stood quietly at the door, watching as Chu Keqing finished her polite greetings, made an excuse, and politely took her leave. Only then did Chen Yan respectfully follow her out.

After leaving the ward and walking through the corridor to the elevator, Chu Keqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Chen Yan straightened his back, which had been bent over.

As the elevator doors opened, the two stepped inside, and Chu Keqing closed the elevator doors.

With only the two of them in the elevator and no one else around, Chu Keqing said in a friendly tone, "I'm sorry to have troubled you to play the role of my disciple just now, senior."

Chen Yan shook his head: "It's not the first time."

Then, Chen Yan frowned again: "Did you figure something out?"

Chu Keqing then turned solemn, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "...Lu Xiuting's luck is not quite right."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan sighed softly, a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

Then the elevator stopped, and a few more people got in.

The two exchanged a glance and then fell silent.

·
The two walked to the hospital parking lot. After getting into the car, Chu Keqing closed the door and sat down. She turned to look at Chen Yan and asked, "Senior, can one's luck... suddenly be cut off for no reason?"

Chen Yan remained silent, only looking at Chu Keqing.

Chu Keqing slowly said, "I saw Lu Xiuting a few days ago, and I used the Qi Observation Technique to look at her destiny and fortune. Although she is not destined for great wealth and honor, at this age, given her background and circumstances, she is quite fortunate."

But looking at her again today, it seems her luck has inexplicably diminished!

After a pause, Chu Keqing said, "The phenomenon of dispersing one's destiny is not uncommon in fortune telling."

Generally speaking, it's likely that they accidentally touched something dirty, or that they were harmed by some evil means.

Even the dissipation of fortune is irregular.

But when I looked at Lu Xiuting's luck, it seemed as if some force had neatly sliced ​​off a section of it.

Fortune, prosperity, longevity, wealth, offspring... all the auspicious signs are neatly and equally arranged, with only a portion of them reduced.

This dissipation of fortune wasn't due to any evil means, but rather…

Chen Yan nodded: "It's as if some force neatly and uniformly cut off a portion of her luck in all areas."

Chu Keqing immediately nodded repeatedly: "That's right!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but ask Chen Yan, "Senior, how did you manage to do this? What methods did you use?"

Chu Keqing's doubt stemmed from her knowledge of fortune and destiny.

As for fortune, even its decline or collapse is irregular.

Sometimes, when one kind of luck is bad, another kind of luck may actually improve.

That's why there are folk sayings like "unlucky in love, lucky in gambling".

If you're experiencing setbacks in your love life and have lost romantic opportunities, focus your energy on your career. You might just find that you can do even better in your career and your wealth will actually increase.

But Lu Xiuting is not like that!

She caused all destiny, fortune, and all realms to uniformly take a step back.

Chen Yan didn't respond to Chu Keqing's words or answer her directly, but instead asked a question.

"Have you seen the fate of that child from the Yang family?"

"Huh?" Chu Keqing was taken aback.

"That's the child Yang Jiaming brought, Lu Sisi's disciple."

Chu Keqing shook her head: "I didn't have time to check the fate of a ten-year-old child—I did check the fate of Yang Jiaming, and there was nothing unusual about him."

Chen Yan nodded. Chu Keqing was quite thoughtful to think of Yang Jiaming's fate.

Because if someone used evil means to cause Lu Xiuting's fate to decline.

Generally speaking, evil methods will also affect those close to you.

“Yang Jiaming’s fate is normal; he has no bad luck.” Chu Keqing’s tone was very confident.

Chen Yan nodded: "However, you really should take a look at that child."

Chu Keqing's curiosity was piqued: "What happened to that child's fate?"

Seeing Chen Yan smile silently, Chu Keqing immediately understood: She had heard from her senior that nothing is more real than seeing it with her own eyes.

Chu Keqing made a quick decision, immediately opened the car door, and walked back into the hospital building.

Chen Yan didn't stop him, but just sat in the car, squinting his eyes as he pondered seriously.

After a while, Chu Keqing jogged back, got into the car, and closed the door.

"You've seen it?" Chen Yan smiled at Chu Keqing.

Chu Keqing's expression was a mixture of excitement and complexity: "I've seen it... I went back to the ward and made an excuse that I had forgotten something, and took the opportunity to check the child's fortune."

"What are your thoughts?" Chen Yan asked patiently.

Chu Keqing pondered carefully and slowly said, "Fate, destiny, luck... are very ordinary and mediocre."

As she spoke, her eyes lit up: "It's so... neat?"

Chen Yan sighed. Chu Keqing was indeed clever; she reacted very quickly and noticed something was wrong.

Lu Sisi's younger brother, that little boy's fate and destiny are just... too regular!
Fortune, prosperity, longevity, wealth, offspring... This child has everything, lacks nothing, but excels in nothing.

Like a student who gets 60 points in every subject.

The problem is... in reality, it's very difficult to find someone like that!

People's destinies and fortunes are generally uneven.

Some people live longer, but they are poor.

Some people are very lucky in wealth, but they die young.

The boy from the Yang family was the kind who had a bit of luck in every field, but not much.

Students often have a preference for certain subjects over others!
Some people are picky eaters!
There's no such thing as destiny or fate that's so predictable!

Yang Jiaming's destiny and fate are not like that.

Lu Xiuting's fate and destiny are not like that!
But this little boy from the Yang family is like this!
This kind of regular, uniform, hexagonal destiny...

Chen Yan has only met one!
Lu Sisi!
·
Lu Sisi has an exceptional destiny, possessing all the blessings of fortune, prosperity, and longevity, with almost every aspect of her life being perfectly fulfilled.

Therefore, it is the best choice for an exceptional destiny.

It started with that full hexagon.

The little boy from the Yang family was like a hexagon cut in half.

·
"Can you do me a favor?" Chen said solemnly.

"Senior, please speak!"

"Lu Xiuting had a miscarriage last night, and the stillborn fetus slipped out... I want to see it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Keqing's expression changed, and her body trembled!
“When a person dies, it takes seven days for their life force to dissipate. That fetus was miscarried last night, so its life force should not have dissipated yet.” Chen Yan frowned and said, “I am not familiar with the things in the hospital, so I don’t know how the hospital usually handles these miscarried stillborn fetuses. However, I think they should not be kept for long and should be disposed of quickly.”

Therefore, this matter needs to be handled as soon as possible!

Chu Keqing nodded with a serious expression and said, "Alright, I'll send someone to inquire right away!"
