Wanting to completely change a person’s mindset is, as one might imagine, incredibly difficult.
However, Shui Miao could create a virtual world, which made the problem much simpler.
All Shui Miao needed to do was expend some spiritual energy, come up with a good script, and then the show could begin!
Chen Jianguo’s thoughts were currently deeply immersed in the virtual world. He had been picking up money—lots and lots of money, an endless amount that he couldn’t finish gathering. He was extremely excited, growing happier with each bill he picked up, with no intention of stopping. But suddenly, he heard the roar of a tiger, which startled him. When he opened his eyes, he realized it had all been a dream! A fat cat by his bed was meowing aimlessly. Annoyed, he picked up an ashtray and threw it at the cat. After chasing the cat away, he grumbled as he got out of bed, only to suddenly feel a sharp pain in his stomach.
At the hospital, after an examination, the doctor surprisingly diagnosed him with over ten types of cancer. He was undoubtedly going to die!
In the virtual world, Chen Jianguo fell into despair.
Shui Miao intentionally prolonged this process of despair, allowing him to deeply experience the pain of hopelessness.
Then, Shui Miao arranged for Chen Jianguo’s son to make an appearance. By this time, the son was already a young boss in his twenties. Because he had been spoiled since childhood, the son was extremely unfilial. He refused to contribute even a single cent for his father’s treatment and even told him to die early.
This was followed by another long period of despair and pain.
When it felt almost enough, and Chen Jianguo was on the verge of breaking down, Chen Xiang appeared. Without saying a word, she spent all her savings to treat him, even going so far as to donate her organs to help cure him!
Shui Miao followed Chen Jianguo’s thoughts, initially believing that Chen Jianguo would completely change because of this. Yet, to his surprise, Chen Jianguo still favored his son.
So, Shui Miao unfolded an even larger plot.
Chen Jianguo tried to give money to his precious son but was hit by a car and killed. His soul was taken to the underworld, where the judge listed his sins. Because he had abused his daughter, the judge sentenced him to be reincarnated as a woman in his next life and sent him into the cycle of rebirth. As a result, Chen Jianguo suffered the same hardships that Chen Xiang had endured.
When it felt almost enough, Shui Miao finally withdrew his consciousness.
Once they arrived home, Chen Jianguo woke up. He looked at everything before him in disbelief, got out of the car, ran around the house twice, and then exclaimed in amazement, “So it was all a dream!”
But then, his stomach began to ache faintly, and he suddenly remembered the dream from earlier.
Startled, Chen Jianguo snapped back to reality. He hurried into the house to fetch a stool for Chen Xiang to sit on, then personally went to the kitchen to cook a meal to treat his daughter and Shui Miao… His change left Chen Xiang and her mother utterly astonished.
His precious son ran over to act spoiled, but for the first time ever, Chen Jianguo spanked him twice, no longer doting on him. After the meal, not only did Chen Jianguo return the 100,000 yuan to Shui Miao, but he also gave an additional 200,000 yuan to Chen Xiang. His attitude toward Chen Xiang was even better than how he would treat his own father!
Chen Jianguo had finally changed.
Because of the stark contrast in treatment, Chen Xiang was even moved to tears.
Shui Miao felt very pleased. Right then, he made a call to Chen Meiling, telling her that he intended to give the Emulsion Group to Chen Xiang. Chen Meiling, being magnanimous, not only agreed immediately but also offered to invest more money and take a share. Chen Meiling and Chen Xiang had always been very close. Now worth hundreds of millions, Chen Meiling had even begun to dislike money somewhat. She didn’t care about these assets at all and was more than happy to distribute them among family and friends.
In fact, influenced by Shui Miao, both Chen Meiling and Chen Xiang had begun leaning toward spiritual cultivation. Mundane matters gradually held little importance to them.
Afterward, Shui Miao needed to find his grandfather, so he bid everyone farewell.
As Shui Miao had not yet achieved immortality, there was no dramatic, heart-wrenching farewell scene.
Chen Xiang saw Shui Miao off, and everyone was happy.
Xiong Ying was not home, and the dust on the table was thick. It seemed he hadn’t been back for quite some time.
So, Shui Miao drove directly to Wang Yong’s house.
Wang Yong wasn’t home either, and the main door was tightly locked.
After a phone call, Shui Miao learned that they were all gambling at a newly opened casino in the west of the city.
Shui Miao knew that Xiong Ying had a penchant for gambling.
But what Shui Miao hadn’t expected was that Xiong Ying would be so addicted to gambling that he wouldn’t even return home now.
Shui Miao immediately drove to the west of the city.

Drunken Xiaoyao Entertainment Complex
Next to Fenyang Road in the west of the city stood a massive five-story building, hundreds of meters long and covering several acres of land. The eye-catching, enormous golden signboard was truly impressive.
“Entertainment Complex!”
Shui Miao parked his car in the parking lot, and a waiter immediately came to greet him.
With a sweep of his spiritual sense, Shui Miao realized that this entertainment complex was not to be underestimated.
Inside the complex, there were restaurants, hotels, spa centers, karaoke rooms, gyms, chess and card rooms, arcades, internet cafés… and more, totaling over fifteen different venues. Not to mention anything else, just the thuggish security guards numbered at least a hundred! And the so-called spa center was, plainly put, a high-end brothel, with no fewer than a hundred prostitutes, all outstandingly beautiful and young. The patrons here were naturally a mixed bag—ranging from all walks of life, with all sorts of people.
“Sir, is this your first time here?”
“Hehe, sir, we have three types of membership cards here. One is the diamond membership card. You can…”
The waiter tried to promote various services as he led the way.
“Enough. You just want a tip, right?” Shui Miao cut off the waiter. With a slight stir of his intention, he could sense what was on the waiter’s mind. He handed over a hundred-yuan bill, and the waiter immediately broke into a wide smile, nodding and bowing before leaving.
Seeing the waiter’s fawning expression, Shui Miao couldn’t help but shake his head.
To be honest, Shui Miao really didn’t like this place.
For some reason, Shui Miao felt that this place was excessively decadent. If even his grandfather, at his advanced age, could become so utterly absorbed and lost here, how could young people, with their weaker resistance, possibly fare any better?
Wait…
Suddenly, Shui Miao had a thought. At first glance, the building seemed ordinary, nothing special. But why did the energy here feel so uncomfortable? Generally, the big bosses who could open such a massive entertainment complex were super wealthy, with exceptionally strong connections. These big bosses also shared a common trait: they believed in feng shui, especially since the casino was located here. It was impossible that the building hadn’t been carefully designed with feng shui in mind.
Immediately, Shui Miao expanded his spiritual sense to examine the structure of the entertainment complex.
At first glance, the entire building seemed fine.
However, the framework of the staircase was somewhat unusual.
Shui Miao simulated the framework of the entire building in his mind, scaling it down again and again. Suddenly, he saw the outline of a coiled snake!
“Oh crap! This feng shui design is malicious!”
Shui Miao was shocked. No wonder he felt so uncomfortable as soon as he entered. It turned out to be a “Coiled Snake Devouring an Elephant” feng shui arrangement!
However, Shui Miao could create a virtual world, which made the problem much simpler.
All Shui Miao needed to do was expend a little spiritual energy and devise a brilliant script, and then the show could begin!
At this moment, Chen Jianguo was deeply immersed in the virtual world. He was originally picking up money—so much money that it seemed endless. He was thrilled, picking it up faster and faster, not wanting to stop in the slightest. Suddenly, he heard a tiger roar, startled, he opened his eyes and realized he was dreaming! By his bedside was a fat cat meowing loudly. Irritated, he grabbed an ashtray and hurled it at the cat, chasing it away. As he grumbled and stepped out of bed, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
At the hospital, the doctor discovered he had more than a dozen types of cancer—certain death!
In the virtual world, Chen Jianguo fell into despair.
Shui Miao intentionally prolonged this process, making him deeply experience the pain of hopelessness.
Then, Shui Miao arranged for Chen Jianguo’s son to appear. At this point, the son was already in his twenties, a young entrepreneur. Because he had been spoiled since childhood, he was extremely disrespectful, refusing to spend a penny on his father’s treatment, even urging him to die sooner rather than later.
Another long period of despair and suffering followed.
When it seemed about right, and Chen Jianguo was on the verge of collapse, Chen Xiang appeared. Without a word, she spent all her savings to treat his illness, even donating her organs to help him recover!
Shui Miao followed Chen Jianguo’s thoughts, originally believing he would change completely, but to his surprise, Chen still favored his son.
Thus, Shui Miao launched an even bigger plot.
Chen Jianguo gave money to his beloved son, but was hit and killed by a car. His soul was taken to the underworld, where the judge scolded his sins. Because he had abused his daughter, the judge sentenced him to reincarnate as a woman in his next life and sent him to the wheel of reincarnation. As a result, Chen Jianguo experienced the same hardships that Chen Xiang had endured.
When it felt about right, Shui Miao finally withdrew his consciousness.
He returned home and woke up. He looked at everything around him in disbelief. After getting out of the car, he ran around the house twice before exclaiming in amazement: “So it was all a dream!”
However, his stomach suddenly ached faintly, and he immediately recalled the previous dream.
Startled, Chen Jianguo quickly snapped back to reality. He hurried into the house to bring a chair for Chen Xiang to sit on, then personally went to the kitchen to cook, treating his daughter and Shui Miao with great hospitality… His transformation astonished both Chen Xiang and her mother.
His beloved son came over to snuggle with him, but for the first time ever, Chen Jianguo actually gave him a couple of swats on the butt, no longer indulging him. After dinner, Chen Jianguo not only returned the 100,000 yuan to Shui Miao, but also handed 200,000 yuan to Chen Xiang, treating her with such kindness that it surpassed how he had treated his own father!
Chen Jianguo had finally changed.
Because of the stark contrast in treatment, Chen Xiang was even moved to tears.
Wanting to completely change a person’s mindset is, as one might imagine, incredibly difficult.

His precious son ran over to act spoiled, but for the first time ever, Chen Jianguo spanked him twice, putting an end to his doting behavior. After the meal, Chen Jianguo not only returned the 100,000 yuan to Shui Miao but also gave 200,000 yuan back to Chen Xiang. His attitude toward Chen Xiang was even better than how he would treat his own father!
Chen Jianguo had finally changed.
Due to the stark contrast in treatment, Chen Xiang was so moved that she cried.
Shui Miao felt very pleased and immediately called Chen Meiling, telling her that he intended to give the Emulsion Group to Chen Xiang.

Afterward, Shui Miao needed to find his grandfather, so he bid everyone farewell.
Since Shui Miao hadn’t yet attained immortality, there were no tearful goodbyes or scenes of eternal separation.
Chen Xiang saw Shui Miao off, and everyone was happy.
Xiong Ying wasn’t home, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the table. It seemed he hadn’t been back for quite some time.
So, Shui Miao drove directly to Wang Yong’s house.

**Drunken Bliss Entertainment Complex**
Beside Fenyang Road in the west of the city stood a massive five-story building hundreds of meters long, covering several acres of land. Its eye-catching, enormous golden signboard was truly awe-inspiring.
“Entertainment Complex!”
Shui Miao parked his car in the parking lot, and a waiter immediately came to greet him.
Using his spiritual sense, Shui Miao could tell that this entertainment complex was not to be underestimated.
Inside, there were restaurants, hotels, spa centers, karaoke rooms, gyms, chess and card rooms, arcades, internet cafes… and more, totaling over fifteen different venues.

As for the so-called spa center, it was essentially a high-end brothel with no fewer than a hundred prostitutes, all exceptionally beautiful and young. The patrons here were naturally a mixed bag—people from all walks of life, both respectable and disreputable.
“Sir, is this your first time here?”
“Hehe, sir, we have three types of membership cards here. One is the Diamond Membership Card. You can…”
The waiter tried to promote various services while guiding Shui Miao.
“Enough. You just want a tip, right?” Shui Miao interrupted the waiter. With a slight stir of his intent, he could sense exactly what the waiter was thinking. He handed over a hundred-yuan bill, and the waiter immediately broke into a wide grin, bowing obsequiously before leaving.
Seeing the waiter’s fawning demeanor, Shui Miao couldn’t help but shake his head.
To be honest, Shui Miao really didn’t like this place.
For some reason, he felt that this place was too decadent. If even his grandfather, at his advanced age, could become so utterly absorbed and lost here, how could young people with weaker resistance fare any better?
Wait…
Suddenly, Shui Miao’s intent stirred. He realized that although the building had seemed ordinary and unremarkable at first glance, why did the energy here feel so uncomfortable? Generally, the big bosses who could open such a massive entertainment complex were super wealthy with exceptionally strong connections. These big bosses also shared a common trait: they believed in Feng Shui. Especially with a casino set up here, it was impossible that the building hadn’t been meticulously designed according to Feng Shui principles.
Immediately, Shui Miao expanded his spiritual sense to examine the structure of the entertainment complex.
At first glance, the entire building seemed fine.
However, the framework of the staircase was somewhat peculiar.
Shui Miao visualized the building’s framework in his mind, repeatedly scaling it down. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the rudimentary form of a coiled snake!
“Oh crap! This Feng Shui design is malicious!”
Shui Miao was shocked. No wonder he had felt so uncomfortable upon entering—it turned out to be a Coiled Snake Devouring an Elephant Feng Shui arrangement!
In fact, both Chen Meiling and Chen Xiang, influenced by Shui Miao, had gradually inclined toward the path of cultivation. They had begun to view worldly matters with increasing detachment.
Later, Shui Miao needed to go find his grandfather and thus bid everyone farewell.
Since Shui Miao had not yet become an immortal, there was no scene of painful parting.
Chen Xiang saw Shui Miao off, and everyone was happy with the outcome.
Xiong Ying wasn’t at home—the dust on the table was thick. It seemed he hadn’t returned for quite some time.
Therefore, Shui Miao drove directly to Wang Yong’s house.
Wang Yong wasn’t home either—the front door was locked tight.
After a phone call, Shui Miao learned that they were all at a newly opened casino in the western part of the city.
Shui Miao knew that Xiong Ying had a gambling problem.
But he hadn’t expected that Xiong Ying’s addiction would be so severe that he had even stopped returning home.
Without hesitation, Shui Miao drove toward the western district.

Zuiyaoxi Entertainment Club
On the western side of Fen Yang Road stood a grand building five stories high, hundreds of meters long, covering several acres. A strikingly large golden sign above it was truly breathtaking.
“Entertainment Club!”
Shui Miao parked the car in the parking lot, and immediately a waiter came to greet him.
With his spiritual perception, Shui Miao quickly realized that this entertainment club was indeed no small operation.
Inside the club, there were restaurants, hotels, bathhouses, karaoke rooms, gyms, mahjong parlors, game centers, internet cafes—nearly a dozen and a half different facilities. Not to mention, the gangsters and security guards alone numbered at least a hundred! And that so-called bathhouse was in fact a high-end brothel, with over a hundred young, beautiful hostesses inside. The people who came to play here were naturally a mixed crowd—people from all walks of life, both good and bad.
“Sir, is this your first time here?”
“Ha ha, sir, we have three types of membership cards here. One is the Diamond Membership, which allows you to…”
The waiter continued to guide him while promoting various services.
“No need to say more—you just want a tip, right?” Shui Miao interrupted the waiter’s speech. With a slight flick of his mind, he sensed exactly what the waiter was thinking. He handed over a hundred-yuan bill, and immediately the waiter’s face lit up with a smile as he bowed and left.
Seeing the waiter’s fawning expression, Shui Miao couldn’t help shaking his head.
To be honest, Shui Miao really couldn’t stand this place.
For some reason, he felt that this place was too decadent. His grandfather, already of advanced age, was still addicted and trapped here. How could young people with weak resistance fare any better?
Wait a second…
Suddenly, Shui Miao had an idea. Just now, the building had seemed ordinary, nothing special. But why did the atmosphere here feel so uncomfortable? Normally, the wealthy and powerful bosses who could afford to run such a massive entertainment club would have extremely strong backing and connections. These tycoons shared one common trait—they believed in feng shui, especially when it came to setting up a casino. This building surely had undergone major feng shui adjustments.
At once, Shui Miao expanded his spiritual perception, examining the structure of the building.
At first glance, the entire building seemed normal.
However, the framework of the stairs was somewhat unusual.
Shui Miao visualized the entire building’s structure within his mind, then gradually zoomed in, and suddenly saw the outline of a coiled snake!
“Oh my god! This feng shui design is sinister!”
Shui Miao was greatly shocked. No wonder he had felt uneasy the moment he entered—it turned out this was a deadly “coiled snake swallowing an elephant” feng shui formation!
