When Shui Miao was about to leave, he secretly infused a stream of spiritual energy into Liu Honghu, saving his life.
Though Chu Qiaoling appeared carefree on the surface, Shui Miao knew that her indifference was only an act. If he left, she would definitely rush back to take care of Liu Honghu.
Some women are simply kind-hearted and nurturing by nature.
The pity lies in men who are blessed yet fail to appreciate their fortune, not knowing how to cherish what they have.
A human life spans merely a few decades—why not walk through it peacefully without leaving behind regrets?
Shui Miao mused like this, yet he didn’t realize that many people in this world simply don’t care about such principles. They only indulge themselves in wine, women, wealth, and vanity.
Arriving downstairs at Chu Qiaoling’s residence, Shui Miao stopped, “Which floor are you on?”
“Why? We’re on the fourth floor,” Chu Qiaoling slightly startled.
“I see,” Shui Miao nodded. “Your daughter’s already asleep, so I won’t go up and disturb her. Your house doesn’t have major issues, except that the bathroom door in the master bedroom faces the bed directly. The energy in the bathroom is very impure, and with no one taking care of your two children, the bathroom has become unsanitary. Over time, the energy in your home deteriorates, which gradually affects the people living there. Therefore, the fact that your husband indulges in affairs outside is somewhat related to the feng shui of your home. Of course, it’s also related to you constantly running around for work and neglecting him. Feng shui can only change some external issues. The heart of a person is the essence. Life isn’t simply about getting by—it’s about understanding and realizing its meaning. Well, I’ve already used my powers to rearrange the layout of your home slightly. Just clean the house and don’t move things around randomly. There’s nothing else. You should go back and check on your husband.”
After saying all this, Shui Miao turned to leave.
Chu Qiaoling quickly grabbed his arm, “You mean you’ve already adjusted the feng shui in my house?”
“Go upstairs and see for yourself.”
Shui Miao smiled slightly and walked away. “Also, you’re a good person. I won’t charge you. I’ve done all I can for you. Take some time to think calmly.”
“…”
Hearing this, Chu Qiaoling hurried upstairs. As she opened the door, she immediately smelled a fresh, clean air. Looking around the house, all the lights were on, and all the furniture had been rearranged. The current layout felt comfortable, appropriate, and warm, no matter from which angle one viewed it.
In the master bedroom, everything was now clean and tidy. The toilet flushed with a flowing sound, removing the unpleasant odors and releasing a refreshing, clean vapor that made people feel energetic, cheerful, and uplifted.
“Amazing! This is just incredible!!”
Excitedly, Chu Qiaoling ran into her daughter’s room. The previously messy room now felt especially cozy. The dolls and toys were neatly and tastefully arranged, and the children were sleeping soundly.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Chu Qiaoling rushed downstairs and saw her husband had already arrived. She grabbed Liu Honghu’s hand and hurried him toward the car, “Quickly, quickly, let’s go thank our great benefactor!”
Liu Honghu’s body had already recovered. Without that spiritual energy, he wouldn’t have been able to stand up at all today.
“Honey, I’m sorry. Have you forgiven me?” Liu Honghu was surprised his wife wasn’t angry.
Chu Qiaoling replied quickly while walking, “You fool around outside, but I also bear some responsibility. I focused too much on work and neglected you and our daughter. Starting today, I will become a good woman, a good wife, and a good mother. But if you still betray me under these circumstances, then I can only divorce you.”
“Honey!”
Liu Honghu suddenly knelt on the ground, emotionally taking an oath, “Honey, I’ve actually felt very guilty inside. You’ve been so good to me. I, Liu Honghu, swear to heaven right now: from this day forward, I will absolutely be a devoted husband and father. If I ever fool around again, may I be struck down by lightning, may I…”
Chu Qiaoling covered Liu Honghu’s mouth with her hand, tears streaming down her face, “Don’t say any more. Let’s go thank him. If it weren’t for his guidance, we would never have realized our own faults.”
“Okay!”
Though Liu Honghu didn’t fully understand the situation, he knew his wife’s judgment was never wrong.
Shui Miao hadn’t gone far. Feeling Chu Qiaoling and the others chasing after him, he waited on the road.
Before the couple could speak, Shui Miao spoke first, “I’ve arranged a Nine Dragon Flowing Water Formation in your home. Your house has exactly nine faucets, which allows for continuous flowing water and fresh energy—this is an extremely auspicious formation. However, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Your two children must be properly taken care of. Chu Jie, you are kind and virtuous. You shouldn’t be running around outside. Stay home and take care of the kids. No amount of money can buy back their childhood. And you, Liu Honghu, must strive to become a capable man, a father your children can be proud of, instead of a man who only seeks pleasure. Well, our connection ends here. Take care of yourselves.”
To give the couple a deep impression and encourage them to live better, Shui Miao channeled his immortal energy, suddenly leaping high into the air and vanishing instantly!
“A god! He really is a god!”
“…”
Both Chu Qiaoling and Liu Honghu were stunned.
Thanks to Shui Miao’s painstaking efforts, the couple indeed changed their minds. One decided to stay home and take care of the family, while the other resolved to work hard and become a successful man.

Walking alone on the road, Shui Miao felt especially peaceful and content after doing a good deed.
This feeling was truly wonderful!
He naturally began to think, why had he been worrying so much? Wasn’t it enough to use his abilities to help those in need? Why be afraid and suffer over unknown schemes? Why torment himself?
He didn’t know why, but every time he did something good, he felt he gained a lot.
“Perhaps, this is cultivation?”
Suddenly inspired, Shui Miao thought of some TV shows he had seen before—like Ji Gong the Living Buddha, Bodhidharma, and the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva. These great beings all focused on kindness, saving people, and delivering all living beings from suffering.
Perhaps the true essence of cultivation is to cultivate the heart—to cultivate a heart of great kindness!
In this world, doing evil is easy, but living a life of goodness is extremely difficult.
Then Shui Miao thought of Buddhist cultivation. Buddhism emphasizes kindness and teaches people to be good—this is true great merit.
Of course, these are only the surface appearances.
The real essence lies in cultivating the heart through good deeds. Cultivating the heart is the true path of cultivation!
Inspired and enlightened, Shui Miao’s thoughts soared to a higher level. He realized that the Dao and its techniques are external things. To obtain them may be easy or difficult, but in the end, what one truly gains is only a heart of kindness. It’s like the saying: before doing anything, one must first learn how to be a good person. Kind thoughts are like learning to be a good person—only by first knowing how to be a good person can one do good deeds. Those who don’t understand how to be good people and resort to any means to achieve their goals will eventually lose themselves, and all their years of cultivation will be in vain.
People come into this world to cultivate.
Only by understanding the true meaning of life can one transcend oneself and escape the cycle of reincarnation.
If one remains deluded, acts recklessly, and commits various sins, one must suffer in the eighteen levels of hell, then be reborn to atone, repeating this cycle endlessly—how painful indeed!
Therefore, there is only one path forward: to cultivate sincerely and persistently in goodness, striving for ultimate kindness.
Returning to his shop, Shui Miao sat cross-legged inside, calmed his mind, and spread his consciousness in all directions, sensing the thoughts of all beings and redeeming their sufferings. Having found his future path of cultivation, he felt calm and at peace, as if completely merging with nature.
Meanwhile, Lin Xue and Chu Miaoyi, unable to find Shui Miao and finding it already too late, had both returned home.

Just past midnight,
In the southeastern part of Huanghai City, within the campus of Huanghai University of Technology in Jingdong District, a terrifying scream from a female student suddenly shattered the quiet night!
Because of the hot weather, the big iron gate at the base of the girls’ dormitory building had been securely locked with chains by Auntie Feng. Therefore, the doors to the dorm rooms upstairs were all left open. The night breeze made the rooms cooler for those without air conditioning. However, the girl’s scream instantly woke many people.
With crying following closely, lights in many dorm rooms turned on one after another.
Many sleepy-eyed girls came out, gathering at the door of one particular room.
“A ghost! There’s a ghost!”
Suddenly, someone screamed, and the group, as if injected with adrenaline, erupted into shrieks so horrifying they woke the entire dormitory building. Fear and unease gripped everyone.
“Quickly, hold her down! Get a rope—no, no! Use a towel to cover her mouth to prevent her from biting off her tongue. Hurry…”
“Ah! She’s so strong! I can’t hold her anymore!”
“Those at the door, why aren’t you coming in to help? Do you want to watch your classmate die?”
“I’ll call the police…”
Inside the dormitory, chaos reigned.
On a table lay a piece of paper covered with pinyin characters. The pinyin was written around the edges of the paper, forming a circle, while in the center was a drop of blood. On the floor lay a shattered plate—yes, a plate, with bloodstains still on its edge.
This was room seven in the freshman girls’ dormitory.
A few curious girls had gathered late at night to play the碟仙 game.
One girl, who was on her period but hadn’t told anyone, suddenly rolled her eyes back, lost consciousness, and began to choke another girl’s neck. Her mouth emitted the voice of an old stranger, repeatedly saying, “Come down and keep me company. Come down and keep me company…”
Thankfully, they had been prepared and managed to pin her onto the bed together.
But what terrified everyone even more was that the girl who led the game also suddenly rolled her eyes back. After shaking on the floor for a moment, her eyes turned completely white!
“Ahhhh!”
Screams rang out one after another!
