Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The Zheng family has been completely transformed, undergoing a complete overhaul from the inside out.
The main problem is that helping people integrate their soul's essence is very taxing. Doing it once or twice a day is manageable, but doing it more than once a day becomes strenuous.
In order to conserve some energy to deal with unexpected situations, Zheng Ya and Xing Guan decided to give only one person the time each day to integrate their soul essence, and spend the rest of the time recuperating and cultivating in preparation for battle.
Fortunately, nothing major happened during that time, but minor issues kept arising.
The demonic shadows frequently appeared on the three planets. With the help of the genetic technology data previously developed by Zheng Ya, the scientific research talents of the three planets successively developed targeted potions to suppress the invasion of the demonic shadows.
However, as the Shadow Demon upgrades, the healing potions are also constantly being upgraded and improved.
They engaged in a tug-of-war.
The increasing number of people with mutated abilities is stimulating the Zheng family's nerves, and they have no solution.
This type of person is most susceptible to being invaded by evil spirits, posing endless hidden dangers.
However, it's clearly unrealistic to assume that Zheng Ya can solve problems by integrating the essence of the soul, and that he can actually save many people.
This problem remained unsolved, constantly troubling the Zheng family.
Today is a big day for the entire Zheng family, and Zheng Ya personally cooked a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for everyone to enjoy together.
"Wait, it seems like someone's missing, right?" Fu Qingyao was unhappy that her beloved adopted daughter hadn't shown up.
Zheng Ya was annoyed, but Xing Guan smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, it's not appropriate for Wu Wei to come to our house."
On such a joyous occasion, we can't very well sneak her over and spoil the occasion, can we?
“Yes, what you said is true, but shouldn’t her problem be resolved by now?” Fu Qingyao’s idea was simple: resolve the problem with Wu Wei’s soul origin section, and her adopted daughter would be able to return completely.
Zheng Ya shook his head with a wry smile: "Mom, we may have oversimplified things."
Let me put it this way.
Wu Wei already has her own points mall, which is something that our family members have different special abilities, and we have confirmed by arranging for puppets to use their special abilities to monitor Wu Wei.
So the question is, how did Wu Wei get access to the unofficial points mall, and who is helping her behind the scenes?
If we don't clarify this matter, we can't expose our core secret. Otherwise, we'll be telling the enemy that we have the foundation to rise and just need time to grow. Wouldn't that invite their annihilation?
Furthermore, Wu Wei is both righteous and wicked, making her a problematic woman in herself.
Even if we now possess the ability to save her soul's essence, there's no guarantee she won't fall victim to some powerful being's covert operations, just like me and Xing Guan. What if rescuing Wu Wei alerts such a powerful being?
"Your considerations are not without merit, but they won't sit well with me."
I can try to knock Wu Wei unconscious or hallucinate her, anything to help her return to Shanliu and become my adopted daughter.
It's not that I'm unreasonable or unaware of the dangers and risks, but I believe that humans are social animals, a special species nurtured by emotions and upbringing.
Wu Wei may have the problems you're imagining, but isn't he also subject to others' control, just like you? Given Wu Wei's current weakness, the other party can't leave behind a strong will to fundamentally harm him and destroy his hope of infiltrating and possessing another's body.
Therefore, rescuing Wu Wei is of utmost urgency. If we can cultivate a relationship with a kind-hearted Wu Wei, she will not turn bad.
"This is evidenced by Bang Geng, isn't it?" Fu Qingyao insisted on her opinion, her words and tone leaving no room for argument.
The whole house was filled with uncomfortable daughters-in-law, and they lost all interest in eating and celebrating.
Am I the Five Finger Mountain?
Zheng Ya sighed inwardly: "After we integrated the soul essence of Bang Geng and gave him the dual-wielding ability, he went back to work after only one day of rest."
She does all the housework by herself.
They also helped the residents clean the yard, assisted visitors, and readily accepted any kindness offered.
Even when Jia Zhangshi relentlessly lectured him and tirelessly encouraged Banggeng to do bad things, Banggeng would still reason with Jia Zhangshi, leaving her speechless.
Bang Geng can grasp things and knowledge that he has never learned or experienced before with just a little exposure; he has a strong learning ability.
In addition, his skillful hands and his way of doing things overturned the people's perception of him in the courtyard. Strictly speaking, he was a model of an upright young man.
This means our experiment was a success.
"Yes, it's impossible for us not to succeed."
When Qin Huai was not around, she acted as if she had found money on the street, always smiling and praising Bang Geng to everyone she met for being smart and filial. She said he had done all the housework, leaving her with nothing to do.
"This has driven everyone in the courtyard mad with jealousy. Every household is in an uproar, and people are even going so far as to say that having a son like Jia Banggeng is the ultimate goal." Xing Guan sighed, stating a fact.
It should have been a great thing, but it's not something to be happy about.
Is it good to change a person's original personality?
If readers didn't have the "Empty-Handed Clutch" trope to stir things up, would they still buy into this?
They rescued a perfect, all-around good son, and Qin Huairu, that washing machine, got the benefit. Why should he?
Besides, Bang Geng is so filial and capable that it caused Qin Huairu to abuse her two daughters, beating and scolding them for being stupid and stupid, turning her into Jia Zhangshi's abuser of money-losing goods. Is that really a good thing?
Jia Zhangshi, unable to stay idle, began to seduce Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai in order to get revenge on Wu Niang. She plotted to make Wu Niang miss her husband and children, and planned to use the idea of being a filial daughter to lure Wu Niang into a trap, drug her, and play the role of two women in one scheme.
This grand event is currently in preparation.
The Zheng family monitored her but didn't interfere, waiting to offer help and save Wu Niang at a crucial moment.
This is also the final test to verify whether the stick-like character is willing to accept good advice.
Xu Qi sensed that something was wrong and stood up, saying, "Mom, let's eat first."
Wu Wei's problem needs to be solved, but we can't rush it.
At the very least, we need to devise a plan to minimize potential dangers and prevent the Zheng family from falling into crisis, right?
"Alright, you don't need to worry about this. I'll arrange it myself. You just need to lend a hand." Fu Qingyao knew she couldn't offend her whole family for the sake of an adopted daughter.
Her adopted daughter was once her emotional anchor, and she also inherited a portion of the affection from her biological son. Having raised her with her own milk and upbringing, she couldn't sever her emotional ties with her adopted daughter.
It's one thing if they can't rescue them.
She had the ability to save Wu Wei, and she couldn't possibly turn a blind eye.
Zheng Ya had no choice but to go along with his mother's whims: "It's no accident that Mom has the power of obsession."
"Hmm, obsession at work. It's a very domineering soul source ability, and it might really be able to obsess over Wu Wei's will."
After all, their deep mother-daughter bond is genuine.
"Emotions run deep, obsessions are deeply ingrained. Maybe I can really save Wu Wei. I hope it will be a good outcome?" Xing Guan even believed what she said herself.
The greatest confidence comes from integrating the source of the soul.
This is reflected in Bang Geng's filial piety, which is the result of her and Zheng Ya's joint efforts in creating Bang Geng and Qin Huairu's success. Her diligence, filial piety, and high level of understanding are characteristics that come from the integration of their souls.
After the Zheng family members integrated their soul essence, their comprehension increased more than tenfold, and they learned and comprehended anything very quickly.
And the control over one's mind and body also increases tenfold.
The degree of their sudden increase in strength varied from person to person, but in any case, the entire family became more than ten times stronger. This inadvertently fueled Fu Qingyao's obsession; it was all a matter of cause and effect, inextricably linked...
