Liu Fan was still lying in the coffin.
He was very lonely!
None of the women who were willing to die with him kept their promises!
Indeed, all women were liars!
He changed his focus and saw Liu Erquan talking about how good women were.
Liu Fan was disappointed!
If a man really loved a woman, he should become stronger. Simply talking about it did not mean anything.
Women could feel the love when the man had a house, car, and money.
Many years ago, Liu Erquan was considered a genius among the Liu family.
Liu Erquan had suffered a huge emotional blow when Liu Xiaoxiao’s mother died from childbirth. That caused him to be stagnated in terms of his martial art skills, and his potential deteriorated. He was not included in the outcome of the normal distribution.
Today, after receiving help from Liu Fan, Liu Erquan had managed to break the bottleneck and enter the grand martial arts master state. That activated his potential as a genius.
“He still loves the mother of Liu Xiaoxiao. This love is obstructing him from pursuing what he wants.”
Liu Fan kept silent.
Liu Erquan was too emotional!
He was lacking the hypocrisy like the ladies who put on a show. They were extremely nice with their words but were actually extremely mean!
Liu Fan’s eyes lit up at this moment.
“The Love of the Ancestor — the Spell of Kind Words and Evil Heart, go!”
Those who were bestowed with this spell would have a mouth that uttered kind words like a buddha and manage to trick people around them. However, their hearts would be extremely evil and emotionless. They would place their family first and love second.
The Liu family especially needed people like that.
Liu Erquan deserved it!
When the spell was cast, Liu Erquan suddenly woke up as though his brain had been struck by something!
He felt as though he had been awakened!
Or that he had finally understood things!
He was shocked and recalled how he used to think too much about Xiaoxiao’s mother and hence neglected Liu Xiaoxiao and the Liu family. He felt extremely guilty for it.
“Xiaoxiao’s mom has been gone for many years. I should let it go!”
“While I am still young, since Xiaoxiao still needs someone to take care of him, I have to marry another woman. I cannot stay like this!”
Liu Erquan talked to himself and his eyes lit up.
He looked up at Liu Fan’s spirit tablet and was extremely worked up. “Ancestor — it must be him!”
Burn incense stick.
Burn incense paper.
Kowtow!
Respect points +1000!
Liu Fan was satisfied. The Spell of Kind Words and Evil Heart’s effect was desirable.
Liu Tao, Liu Dahai, and the other Elders were waiting quietly outside the ancestral temple.
Liu Erquan was in a bad condition and they were worried about him.
At this moment, the door of the ancestral temple opened.
Liu Erquan walked out. His body reeked of alcohol, but he was clear-minded.
“Clan Head, can you introduce a woman to me? I am trying to find a stepmother for Xiaoxiao!”
“Oh?!”
Liu Tao’s eyes lit up and he proceeded to nod his head while smiling.
Liu Erquan’s condition was perfect!
The others heaved a sigh of relief.
Liu Erhai looked at Liu Erquan before looking at Liu Tao and said, “There are too few people in the Liu clan. Many family members are over 30 years old but still single!”
“In the past, we were broke. Now that we rule over Black Street and have gotten rich, we should increase the number of members in the family!”
“Those without a wife shall marry and those without a second wife shall get a second one! Then, encourage everyone to give birth to a few more children. After a few years, our Liu family would become a true big clan!” Liu Erhai said that in one breath and realized that everyone was staring at him.
“What’s wrong? Is anything wrong with that?!” Liu Erhai asked, slightly worriedly as he bit the fingernail in his mouth.
“No problem, you are right, Second Elder!” Liu Tao exclaimed. He had underestimated Liu Erhai in the past. His thought processes were actually very clear.
It was also very fitting with regard to the current development in the Liu family.
Liu Dahai, Liu Sanhai, Liu Wuhai, and Liu Liuhai nodded in agreement and looked at him in admiration.
Ever since their skills had improved and the few of them had managed to break through to the martial arts master state, they’d felt more youthful and energized. When they saw beautiful women, they were unable to fall asleep, and that caused them to go to watch the performance by the ladies secretly a few times.
The suggestion that Liu Erquan had brought about in front of the ancestral temple and the ancestor’s coffin definitely matched their desires!
The handful of men were actually overjoyed.
Liu Fan sighed in the coffin, and his gaze fell upon Liu Erhai. He felt surprised.
This descendant was very disrespectful to him and did not take paying respects seriously. He appeared to be someone without his own opinions and always bit his fingernails behind Liu Dahai.
However, today, his suggestion was shocking.
It hit the core of the population problem of the Liu family!
It also hit the respect points, something that Liu Fan cared about the most!
It was only if the population of the Liu family increased that he would be able to receive more respect points.
“Did he get more calcium from eating fingernails and become more intelligent?!”
Liu Fan thought about it and decided to reward Liu Erhai.
“The Love of the Ancestor — the Spell of Matchmaking! Go!”
Matchmakers loved matchmaking singles!
These matchmakers were very annoying as they kept asking one about how old their children were and whether they wanted to marry.
…
When the spell was cast, Liu Erhai, who was still biting on his fingernails at the door of the ancestral temple, suddenly shuddered and his fingernails fell out of his mouth without his knowing.
He looked up into the sky and realized that the sky was blue and full of white clouds!
Two sparrows were making love on the tree and made a lot of noises.
He looked at the head of the clan, Liu Dahai, Liu Erquan, and the rest. He realized that everyone looked normal, but it was difficult to hide the loneliness in their eyes. They had been single for too long.
He took a deep breath and felt that he should do something.
“Clan Head, please make me in charge of the task of helping with the booming of the family clan!” Liu Erhai said as he slapped his chest.
“I promise, within one month, I will let those single men marry a wife and those without a second wife get a second wife. After one year, the Liu family members will double!”
After saying that, he realized that Liu Tao looked shocked.
He sneered and walked into the ancestral temple to retrieve pen and paper.
“In front of our ancestor, I, Liu Erhai, will write this down on paper!”
After that, he wrote whatever he promised on the paper and stated that if he was unable to fulfill his promise, he would resign from his position as an Elder and join Liu Daquan in rearing pigs.
Liu Daquan was Liu Erquan’s brother. He was bad at martial arts but talented in rearing pigs. All the pigs he reared had meat that was fat but not too oily. They were known in the Black Market.
Liu Fan felt relieved as he witnessed this in the coffin.
After the Spell of Matchmaking was cast, Liu Erhai, who used to not have any opinion, began to contribute to the family. He also became willing to take up responsibilities.
Liu Tao and Liu Dahai began to look at Liu Erhai with a strange expression. They looked at him and thought that Liu Erhai had changed and become a different person.
“Second Elder, you have changed!” Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai said in a straightforward manner while giving a stern look.
“Hehehe, really?!” Liu Erhai smiled and bit his fingernails, making a crisp sound.
Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai smiled when they saw that. “You are still the Second Elder we know, you didn’t change!”
At the corner, Liu Tao, Liu Dahai, and Liu Erquan gave a sigh of relief.
Liu Erhai was normal like that.
Earlier on, he was a little terrifying!
“However, since Second Elder wants to be the matchmaker for our people, then I shall let the Second Elder take the lead!”
Liu Tao said, “Everyone shall cooperate with the Second Elder. Make sure that the number of family members in the Liu clan doubles and that there shall soon be a full house of babies!”
