"Give him a proper burial."
The white cloth covered him, and he was gone. After the old woman left with the white cloth, the people outside knew the outcome.
The result was that it saddened several married women, especially Wenxuan, who arrived last and looked at the room with pity.
For Wenxuan, losing just one child is like losing her life, but for Du Ruo, it's different—she has eight.
"How about choosing a child from within the clan?"
Mu Qingluo made the suggestion with her eyes lowered, her expression unreadable, but Wen Xuan immediately rejected it.
"No, absolutely not! You know, the child Du Ruo wants is definitely not someone else's!"
Wenxuan refuted this decisively. She knew why Mu Qingluo thought this way, and she also knew why Du Ruo was so determined to have a child.
"The child is not far away, so be mindful of your posture and words."
The downside of marrying a group of women is that each woman is a unique individual, and the more capable and independent a woman is, the less likely she is to compromise herself, because she deeply understands what she should fight for.
Unlike the annoyance most people feel about this, Dao Chengyi appreciates these vibrant individuals because it's interesting enough. Of course, it's best if these vibrant individuals don't think about rebelling.
"I've already addressed the issue of offspring. If she insists on this, she should bear the consequences herself. However, worrying about it will make her ill and harm her health. Madam, you should go and find another child to replace her."
“Wenxuan, your statement may reflect Du Ruo’s opinion, but you also know her health condition. If this continues, she will only harm herself. Sometimes, we can only make choices for her.”
As the head of the household, his word was law, and Wenxuan nodded in agreement. As for the news, there was no need to worry about others leaking it, as the servants naturally knew what to say and what not to say.
When Mu Qing saw that the noise in the courtyard had stopped, she quickly came over to ask where her younger brother was. Mu Qingluo said that her younger brother was too weak to see anyone after being born, and that he could see her in three days.
It was still a little while before lunch, so after giving Du Ruo some space to rest, Dao Chengyi went back to his study, and the others also dispersed.
At this moment, in the study, there was a letter bearing the mark of the Blood Lotus, placed quietly on the table. It wasn't placed there by that madman, but by Dao Chengyi's old steward.
Upon opening the envelope, the contents of the letter were quite simple: "Initiate a rebellion to lure the Nine Yue tribes to the pass, and then the uprising can begin."
It seems that the southern border region has become a tacitly accepted land of rebellion. Reforms start here, and rebellions start here. They certainly know how to reuse it.
With a flick of his finger, a jet-black insect, as sharp as a pen tip, emerged and devoured the letter. Moments later, it transformed into round drops of ink. Then, another insect, shimmering with three-colored light, emerged and devoured the ink drops, creating a scene before Dao Chengyi.
The Channel Gu, Shadow Reading Gu, and Book Eating Gu, when combined, can effortlessly record and replicate the letter-writing scene.
Dao Chengyi didn't keep such Gu worms on hand all the time; he usually kept them on his Dao Xin clone. As for what the Dao Xin clone was doing? Writing erotic novels like Jin Ping Mei.
After the Goddess Record became a hit, it not only spread in Louzhou, but is now also sold in the capital of Zhongzhou. With its great popularity, Dao Chengyi, in order to promote the process of having many children and many blessings, the world as one family, all people from all over the world are brothers, and the ancestral command cannot be disobeyed, simply separated the Daoist avatar and wrote classic works such as Jin Ping Mei.
Spreading obscene information and meme viruses every day will not only corrupt ordinary people, but even chaste and virtuous women will begin to become wanton after reading these books repeatedly.
Then the clone also suffered. A true disciple of the heretical sect accidentally returned home and discovered that his senior sister, whom he secretly loved and was legally married to, was having an affair with other men. He accepted all men, from senior brothers to beggars, regardless of their status, seeking only thrills.
Enraged, the true disciple killed his senior sister and her lovers, comprehended the Path of the Martial Marquis on the spot, and began to investigate why his senior sister had become like this.
Then the Daoist clone disappeared, and the twelve victimized Marquises, along with other well-known and shameful family forces, collectively went to the Zhitian Sect to ask for divination, and were blasted to death at the gate of the Yin-Yang Palace in Suzhou.
Just as Dao Chengyi was about to see who wrote the letter through the Blood Lotus, his Daoist clone initiated a voice call using the Gu Cauldron.
"Alas! My true self! Is it you who is using my Gu? I have a good idea! It can help us realize our grand plan! Recently, I have been studying the Soul Dao Empathy and the Daoist Book of Beauty."
I'm thinking about whether I could collect the soul information of those noble and righteous fairies, emperors and empresses, and then write their erotic novels so that everyone in the world could enjoy them, and incidentally corrupt our enemies..."
"Wait! Don't hang up! This is a great idea! All I need is for you to help me..."
He severed the connection between this P-site king and the main branch of the Niu family, and Dao Cheng focused on watching the emerging scene. The location was a dimly lit indoor space.
The person writing the letter was a woman with fair and slender hands. Her face, reflected on the letter, was wearing a mask. Her clothes were loose, but the fabric resembled that of Langzhou or Pengzhou.
The fragrance is that of the Jasmine Golden Leaf Cup from Jiezhou, a scent used only by those with high-level sword cultivation in Jiezhou. It's quite a mismatched combination.
"Is it really just a 32nd-rank protector from the Green Mang who personally wrote this letter? Not just anyone can read King Wu's handwriting."
A hoarse voice sounded from the side, seemingly dissatisfied with the letter's writing.
“I am different from you. I have high hopes for this kid. With my trust, the others won’t go too far. That kid is ambitious and may be able to help us achieve our grand plan.”
"If you are so confident, then let's wait and see."
Then the letter was delivered, traveling through a special channel, departing from Pengzhou, arriving in Langzhou by sea, and finally passing through Jiaozhou to Louzhou...
Seeing the distance, Dao Chengyi's lips twitched slightly. It was such a long distance, and the Blood Lotus Guardian Martial King wasn't just one person. You could have someone else write the letter.
However, this also allowed Dao Cheng to see more clearly the power of the Blood Lotus. Even after three years of infiltration, Min Hao, who had become a hall master, had not come into contact with these things. He was truly cautious.
The Imperial Court, the Qin Family, the Blood Lotus, the Yin-Yang Palace, the Five Phases Palace, the Heaven-Breaking Sword Sect...
So many powerful forces have already sent people here. Later, Qiongdao Peak, which involves that half-step Martial King, will definitely send people as well, along with the local Mighty Bull Demon Sect, the Seven Laws Sect, and the Mu family of Chuzhou.
Guaranteed at least seven Martial Marquises...
That's enough to refine a Celestial Gu, plus Du Ruo's soon-to-be-completed experimental subject and today's path to becoming an Immortal God.
Dao Cheng had always felt an eagerness for a bountiful harvest, but of course, he had to be cautious and not act rashly. After the Marquis of Wu, there were still the King of Wu and the Saint of Wu, and these two stages were not easy to cross, so he had to hide for the time being.
A demon from beyond the heavens... a star...
