Chapter 427: The Coiling Snake Formation in Feng Shui

It’s easy to imagine how difficult it would be to completely change a person’s mindset.

However, Shui Miao could create a virtual world, which made the problem much simpler.

All Shui Miao needed to do was expend a bit of spiritual energy and devise a good 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 at all. Suddenly, he heard a tiger roar, which startled him. Opening his eyes, he realized he was dreaming! A fat cat was meowing loudly by his bed. Irritated, he grabbed an ashtray and threw 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 ten types of cancer—certain death!

In the virtual world, Chen Jianguo fell into despair.

Shui Miao intentionally prolonged this process of despair, 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 and refused 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 own organs to help him recover!

Shui Miao followed Chen Jianguo’s thoughts, originally believing he would completely change, but to his surprise, Chen Jianguo still favored his son.

Therefore, 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 him for 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 cycle of rebirth. As a result, Chen Jianguo endured the same hardships that Chen Xiang had experienced.

When it felt about right, Shui Miao finally withdrew his consciousness.

Back home, Chen Jianguo woke up. He looked around in disbelief. He got out of the car and ran around the house twice before saying in astonishment, “So it was just a dream!”

However, his stomach suddenly ached faintly, and he immediately recalled the previous nightmare.

Startled, Chen Jianguo quickly snapped back to reality. He hurried into the house to bring out a chair for Chen Xiang, then personally went to the kitchen to cook, treating his daughter and Shui Miao… His change astonished both Chen Xiang and her mother.

His beloved son came to snuggle with him, but for the first time ever, Chen Jianguo gave him a couple of spanks on the butt, no longer indulging him. After dinner, not only did Chen Jianguo return the 100,000 yuan to Shui Miao, but he also gave 200,000 yuan to Chen Xiang, treating Chen Xiang with more care than he had ever shown his own father!

Chen Jianguo had finally changed.

Because of this stark contrast in treatment, Chen Xiang was even moved to tears.

Shui Miao felt gratified and immediately called Chen Meiling to inform her that he would give the skincare company to Chen Xiang. To his surprise, Chen Meiling readily agreed and even volunteered to invest more money and take a share in the business. Chen Meiling and Chen Xiang had always had a close relationship. Now worth hundreds of millions, Chen Meiling had started to grow weary of money, so she didn’t care much about these assets and was very willing to share them with her loved ones and friends.

In fact, both Chen Meiling and Chen Xiang, influenced by Shui Miao, had inclined toward the path of cultivation. They gradually grew indifferent to worldly matters.

Later, Shui Miao needed to find his grandfather, so he bid everyone farewell.

Since Shui Miao had not yet become an immortal, there was no need for tearful goodbyes.

Chen Xiang saw Shui Miao off, and everyone was happy.

Xiong Ying wasn’t home; the table was covered in thick dust, indicating he hadn’t returned for quite some time.

Therefore, Shui Miao drove directly to Wang Yong’s house.

Wang Yong was also absent, with the front door 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 never expected that Xiong Ying would be so addicted to gambling that he wouldn’t even return home anymore.

Shui Miao immediately drove to the western district.

Zui Xiaoyao Entertainment Complex

Beside Fen Yang Road in the western district stood a massive building, five stories high and hundreds of meters long, covering several acres. A striking golden sign above it was truly breathtaking.

“Entertainment Complex!”

Shui Miao parked his car in the parking lot, and immediately a waiter came out to greet him.

With his spiritual perception, Shui Miao sensed that this entertainment complex was indeed no small operation.

Inside the complex, there were restaurants, hotels, bathhouses, karaoke rooms, gyms, mahjong parlors, arcades, internet cafes, and more—over a dozen different facilities. Not to mention, the security guards and gangsters working there numbered at least a hundred. And that so-called bathhouse was essentially a high-end brothel, with over a hundred young and beautiful hostesses. The patrons were a mixed crowd, a gathering of all sorts of people.

“Sir, is this your first time here?”

“Ha ha, sir, we have three types of membership cards here. The Diamond Membership allows you to…”

The waiter was guiding Shui Miao while promoting various services.

“No need to say more, you just want a tip, right?” Shui Miao interrupted the waiter. With a slight movement of his mind, he sensed what the waiter was thinking. He handed over a hundred-yuan note, and the waiter’s face immediately lit up with a smile as he bowed and left.

Seeing the waiter’s behavior, Shui Miao couldn’t help shaking his head.

Honestly, Shui Miao really disliked this place.

For some reason, Shui Miao always felt this place was too decadent. His grandfather, already in his old age, was immersed and trapped here—how could the young, with their weak resistance, fare any better?

Wait a second…

Suddenly, Shui Miao had an idea. Just now, the building seemed ordinary, nothing special, but why did the atmosphere here feel so uncomfortable? Normally, the wealthy and powerful who could afford such a massive entertainment complex would have strong connections and pay great attention to feng shui, especially since a casino was located here. Such buildings couldn’t possibly overlook feng shui considerations.

At once, Shui Miao spread out his spiritual awareness to examine the structure of the entertainment complex.

At first glance, the entire building appeared normal.

However, the framework of the stairs was somewhat unique.

Shui Miao simulated the entire building’s structure within his spiritual perception, then zoomed in, and zoomed in again, until he suddenly saw the outline of a coiled snake pattern in the framework!

“Oh my god! This feng shui design is sinister!”

Shui Miao was greatly shocked. No wonder he felt uncomfortable as soon as he entered—it was actually a “coiled snake swallowing an elephant” feng shui formation!
