Chapter 286 - 149: Upgrade Surprise! No, You Came at Just the Right Time!_2
Chen Kai naturally knew the purpose of Mr. Liu. In order to secure the investment, he agreed to speak to the Patriarch of the Chen Family on his behalf.
Seeing this, he could only say, "Patriarch Chen, Mr. Liu is very sincere. He wishes to invite the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable’s blessing, and I hope you can make an exception."
Chen Han smiled, it seemed Mr. Liu’s rheumatic paralysis hadn’t completely healed.
However, it wasn’t surprising that one cup of wine couldn’t fully cure him, considering how severe his symptoms were, almost needing a wheelchair.
What surprised him even more was the game’s notification:
[The demon you’re colluding with has sent another message, revealing the purpose of that demon boss. With the Blood Demon’s resurrection, all the demon experts summoned to the Demon Sect’s main altar have been cursed with a Blood Curse by the Blood Demon!
The Blood Curse can control demon experts and can take their lives at will. Not everyone enjoys the feeling of their lives being controlled by others.
Many demon path demons disagree with the Blood Demon’s style and attempt to break free from its control. As they discovered, the Chen Family seems to have a way to suppress this Blood Curse after the blessing from the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable!]
Chen Han couldn’t help but admire the game system.
It could justify everything seamlessly.
In this regard, it was really impressive.
Chen Han had already guessed Mr. Liu’s intent before. Hearing Director Chen’s words, he went along with it: "Mr. Liu, in that case, come with me to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall, and let the Palace Guardian Elder of our Chen Family perform a blessing for you."
"Thank you, Patriarch Chen!" Liu Ye didn’t hesitate, quickly expressing his gratitude, feeling relieved inside.
He had done so much, all for this blessing.
"Mr. Liu, please!" Chen Han invited with a smile, leading the way towards the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall.
Mr. Liu quickly followed.
Chen Kai also led his group to follow.
Only Master Xinyan left the courtyard, not daring to follow.
He didn’t dare after all.
The blessing of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable was clearly not simple, and as a monk, attending such an occasion might cause misunderstandings...
Amitabha Buddha! He really wanted to return to the temple.
Chen Han soon led Liu Ye, Chen Kai, and others outside the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall and saw some unexpected people.
They were none other than Section Chief Ma of Cultural Tourism, along with his wife and child.
By calculation, the time for their piles to be cured had come.
"Director Chen." Ma Qi greeted his superior immediately, explaining, "My wife and child’s 10 days are up, their piles have been cured, so I’ve brought them to kowtow and apologize to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable."
"Hmm!" Chen Kai nodded, it was appropriate, having such awareness was good.
Liu Ye couldn’t help but be shocked by their conversation.
He already knew about the special piles incident and from their conversation, it wasn’t hard to tell that this mother and child had been punished before.
No wonder Director Chen had that attitude when there was a misunderstanding, turns out someone on their side had been through it before.
Moreover, seeing the mother’s and child’s emaciated, haggard appearance, they had likely been tormented a lot.
Ma Qi, being someone with a public office, didn’t dare to enter the hall and could only let his wife Zhu Fei and his son go in by themselves.
Zhu Fei, again bringing her son here, dared not show a trace of disrespect.
Even the child, after these 10 days, had lost all his mischievousness, entering the hall with a face full of fear.
"Son, kneel with mom!" Zhu Fei pulled her son to kneel and kowtow on the altar mat, faces full of sincerity.
That sincerity, Liu Ye could feel it, it was genuine fear.
Chen Han saw his aunt come out from a side hall, and went forward to say, "Aunt, there’s a gentleman here who needs a blessing from you."
"Hmm, let him come over!" Aunt nodded, taking the duster and moving to the altar table in the hall.
Chen Han called Mr. Liu over, handing him to his aunt, preparing according to her requirements.
He naturally went to the side hall to play his part, retrieving a pre-prepared bottle of Dog Demon Spine Wine from the storeroom, pouring a cup and placing it on the altar.
Liu Ye watched this scene.
So this Medicinal Wine’s effect also relied on this blessing, he thought, looking up suddenly to meet the gaze of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Statue inside the hall.
Since the statue had a +2 majesty attribute, at that moment, Liu Ye instinctively swallowed, really feeling as if he was being watched by the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable.
He instinctively lowered his head, not daring to meet its gaze, his heart pounding rapidly.
Previously, when visiting Master Xinyan’s temple, he also prayed to the Buddha but never felt this way, proving that place was really just fooling people.
Spending 50 million was equivalent to listening to Master Xinyan’s sermon for 15 days, utterly costly!
Placing the wine on the table, Aunt began the blessing.
Liu Ye didn’t dare to be disrespectful, fully cooperating.
Finally, when the blessing ended, Aunt’s duster swept over the cup of wine on the table, chanting mystical words.
It was just an unconscious action, but in Liu Ye’s eyes, it felt different.
That wine was definitely blessed by the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable, carrying its power. As for "medicinal wine," it was just Patriarch Chen’s excuse to fool outsiders.
Just like Patriarch Chen always said to believe in science.
If you truly believed, you’d miss out on this mysticism.
Liu Ye had never understood the saying ’faith makes it real’ as he did now.
After the blessing, Chen Han also picked up the cup of wine and handed it to Liu Ye.
Liu Ye hesitated not, hurriedly drinking the newly blessed wine.
Soon, he felt the wine’s effect, as warmth spread through his deformed knee once more.
