Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Two more were born!
"You led the sect's Elder Dylan and assassins to attack the Rodriguez family, only to find that they were well-prepared. In a critical moment, a group of demon-possessed psychics suddenly appeared and saved you, but then they turned around and, with the assassins you had bribed, killed your sect disciples."
"The assassins sold you to the demon-possessed psychics, who had long had their eyes on your talents. You were taken to the Thunderfire Demon Cave, where they planned to sell you to a powerful figure deep within the cave for a possession ritual... Along the way, you were rescued by a righteous warrior from the Demon-Slaying Alliance... and then..."
Amelia saw Marcus nodding repeatedly, her excitement growing as she jumped up and down on the spot.
"Then, that so-called righteous warrior developed evil intentions halfway through, and you were sold again, this time to a female demon-possessed psychic who practices the art of cultivating psychic powers through dual cultivation, and the demon-possessed psychics wanted to use you for breeding!"
...
Ten minutes later.
Four female demon-possessed psychics took Marcus away, and the tightly bound Marcus opened his eyes to clearly see his situation.
He was expressionless.
But inside, he had already understood everything—it was just for breeding! Reflecting on his journey to the Rodriguez family, being sold multiple times, he now could only wait to use his useful body to escape from the Thunderfire Demon Cave and plan his next move.
With this thought, Marcus clenched his teeth, resignedly closed his eyes, and muttered to himself that such is life, and one must accept it.
Look at what they call 'the silent lone wolf'? This kid was still thinking about turning the tables.
...
Watching the game scenario Marcus was in, Ethan vigorously rubbed his face, speechless for a long time.
Soon, two elders from the Sky Sect arrived.
Shouting 'How dare these demon-possessed psychics capture a true disciple of my Sky Sect,' they rescued Marcus.
[Your descendant Marcus has returned to the sect, and upon being questioned by Daoist Wesley about the cause of the events, he explained everything without showing any signs of lying. The Supreme Elder Competent, who came out of his spiritual retreat, also sensed nothing unusual. ]
[People were sent to the Rodriguez family at Mount Five Peaks and saw the demonic energy swirling; Cloudview County also reported that the timing of the assassins' arrival was just right, as was the situation at the demon cave.]
[Because Marcus took the sect's elder and disciples out to kill without permission, Daoist Wesley was furious and punished him, forbidding him from leaving the sect for fifty years and ordering him to face the wall at the Cliff of Reflection for ten days!]
[Daoist Wesley, knowing about Elder Felix's attempt to assassinate Marcus, was unmoved, only giving a meaningful glance at the two, seeing Elder Felix kneeling and begging for mercy but with a fleeting cold look in his eyes, merely smiled slightly and sentenced him to twenty years of reflection in the dungeon.]
Two days later.
During his seclusion, Marcus suddenly had a realization, and memories flooded into his mind.
"?????"
His expression gradually became complex, filled with relief, admiration, gratitude, and a bit of inexplicable shame, finally letting out a roar suppressed in his heart alone in the Cliff of Reflection, "Ah!!!"
Moments later, he numbly smiled, "It's just like Aunt Four, thinking of everything. Those assassins must have been sent by Aunt Four. I heard Aunt Four had arrived in Cloudview County, but I didn't expect her to have gained such power. Did she break through her literary cultivation?"
"Such a boring thing, Aunt Four definitely wouldn't do it. The demon cave's Psychic was used by Aunt Two, and when I left the family to join the Sky Sect, Aunt Two was the one who scolded me. Her vengefulness is really strong."
"At this age, still so childish."
After saying this, Marcus just showed an indifferent face, it was just a small matter.
Until a few days later, while cultivating psychic powers at night, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Then skillfully pulled out the Forebearer cards, knelt down with a thump, his words full of grievance and sorrow.
"Forebearer, your child... your child... please manage Aunt Two!"
...
"Yep, the kid's safety is no issue now. Amelia and Olivia didn't let me down, they've handled everything flawlessly." Clearly, he knew that Amelia and Olivia had already sent people ahead of time to take care of the post-battle cleanup.
Seeing Marcus tattling, Ethan quickly switched the screen, adopting a 'don't ask me, I can't manage it, nor do I want to, you're just out of luck' demeanor. He chuckled to himself.
Ethan then switched the view to Blackwood, where, after acquiring a wealth of resources, the family began its vigorous development once again.
[Your descendant Nathan has entered the Coffin of Absolute Death, this time armed with three primary psychic ability devices, vowing to break through the second layer of the Coffin's limits!]
[Luna took two Developing Skills, trying to see if they could replace the Demon King's Blood Elixir. Around her Psychic Sanctuary, two thousand foxes gathered.]
[In the great battle at the Rodriguez family, Lucas obtained nearly two hundred enemy swords, which he planted near the land of cultivating psychic powers, calling it—Sword Tomb.]
[Cultivating psychic powers near the Sword Tomb, swordsmanship comprehension increased by 10%!]
Soon, the game time changed again.
[Blackwood Year 64]
[Your family members have increased by 2.]
Two more were born! A smile appeared on Ethan's face.
He glanced at the family member list in the top right corner.
[Fourth generation family members: 11]
However, Ethan rarely paid attention to new members anymore, especially since Julian's lineage had too many children.
Not just him, even the couple Nathan felt distant from descendants three generations removed, unless they were truly outstanding members.
That would be Blackwood's pride, George.
Not only was the guy smart and hardworking, but he was even busier than the family head, Daniel.
Every day, he had to look after his ten younger siblings, rush to the teacher in Gratitude Village to learn cultural and music theory lessons, meditate to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and practice martial arts... a true master of time management.
However, it was expected that not all members could be attended to.
As the years passed, the people of Blackwood, having seen how other families operated, understood that their descendants would continue to increase—a natural result of human reproduction and also key to the family's strength!
Sufficient continuation of the bloodline allowed them to confidently delegate business outside their family's territory to their descendants.
And since the talents of descendants varied, having more descendants increased the chances of producing exceptionally talented offspring.
This is also why large families often have thousands, if not more, members.
The increase in offspring also signifies the true growth of Blackwood.
And it begins to move into the next phase!
