Ethan Grant lazily yawned and said offhandedly, “Your Majesty, the manifestation of the gods is an extremely sacred matter. These people keep talking about exterminating nine generations to the left and right. If they anger the gods, aren’t they afraid of delaying the princess’s illness? Would they really have their nine generations exterminated?”

After speaking, Ethan Grant simply took a few steps forward, stood in front of this group of old men, and began to scold them righteously.

“Each of you jumps up and down—have you really considered the princess’s illness?”

“Such a sacred matter as treating the princess, what has it become in your eyes? Has it turned into a tool for suppressing political opponents and bullying the innocent?”

“Tianshui Marquis, you keep saying you want to wipe out the nine generations of the Jiang family. If my Ethan Grant’s fate is thin and I really get beaten to death, how will the princess’s illness be conveyed to His Majesty through me? Is your so-called loyalty to the sovereign just cutting off His Majesty’s future and the princess’s life?”

“You’re so impressive, so powerful—then which of you will step forward and tell me what’s going on with Her Highness the Princess? You don’t have the ability yourselves, yet you’re jealous of the capable, and won’t even allow me to convey the will of the gods? Besides, I was almost beaten to death by the staff, just to get a divine dream—do you think it was easy for me? If the gods get angry and leave because of this, can you bear that responsibility?”

“One last question: if the gods really get angry and demand the extermination of your nine generations before they’ll save the princess, you claim to be loyal and devoted—are you willing to sacrifice your nine generations to ease His Majesty’s worries?”

All the satisfaction and dissatisfaction in Ethan Grant’s heart burst out through this barrage of pointed questions. It was like dark clouds pressing down on the city, making each of these lords unable to breathe, leaving them all dumbfounded!

Especially that last question, which made the faces of those lords change dramatically, each one falling silent in fear.

Originally, they had come to support Tianshui Marquis, to put pressure on the Jiang family and kick them while they were down. But now, even if they had the guts, they wouldn’t dare act rashly.

What if this kid really used the gods’ will as a pretext to incite His Majesty to exterminate their nine generations...

Considering His Majesty’s doting love for the princess, such a thing wasn’t impossible!

Looking at their pale faces, Ethan Grant felt only one thing in his heart—

Satisfaction!

So it turns out that cursing out this bunch of unscrupulous old men could feel this good.

Especially since each of these old men held high positions and thought so highly of themselves.

“All right, all right, Young Grant, you’ve scolded who needed scolding and beaten who needed beating. At this critical moment, the princess’s illness is still the most urgent matter.”

At this moment, a neutral party finally stepped forward to mediate. Normally, neutral parties would enjoy the spectacle and not fear making things bigger. But right now, if this went on, His Majesty would only get more anxious.

“The princess’s illness?” Ethan Grant was taken aback. “Who said the princess is ill? Didn’t I just say the princess isn’t sick?”

Here we go again. Marquis Grant and Logan Grant felt a chill on their foreheads as Lucas Bennett swept them with his gaze. They kept muttering in their hearts, “You brat, if you have something to say, just say it all at once—stop keeping everyone in suspense.”

“Your Majesty, may I ask, was it a solar eclipse on the day Her Highness the Princess was born?” Ethan Grant asked with a calm smile at the corner of his mouth.

Lucas Bennett was startled—how did he know about this? Could it really be a divine revelation? In the secular world, a solar eclipse is considered an ominous sign.

So, Lucas Bennett had always kept this matter secret.

“Not only Her Highness the Princess, but her mother was also born on a day of solar eclipse. For nine generations of women, each was born on a day of solar eclipse. Passed down for nine generations, the yang energy of the sun is lacking. By the ninth generation, it becomes a body of extreme yin!”

When Ethan Grant uttered the words “body of extreme yin,” he couldn’t help but sigh. This was a problem that had troubled him for a million years in his previous life, one that even his Heavenly Emperor father couldn’t completely solve.

That’s why, the moment he saw Emily Bennett, he felt a sense of shared fate, and immediately recognized the root of Emily Bennett’s problem.

It was precisely because of this shared fate that he came back to life from playing dead. Because, from the princess, he found a way to resolve the crisis at Marquis Grant’s mansion.

His offense against the royal family was nothing more than farting during the sacrificial ceremony. And what was the ceremony for? Wasn’t it to pray for Emily Bennett?

If he could solve Emily Bennett’s problem, wouldn’t that be the perfect way to clean up the aftermath?

This Emily Bennett was born with a body of extreme yin—such a person is one in a hundred million. Who would have thought that after cycles of reincarnation, he, Ethan Grant, would meet one?

One has to admit, fate is truly wondrous.

Emily Bennett, an ordinary mortal, naturally didn’t have the fate of the Ethan Grant of his previous life. Without a Heavenly Emperor father, without the sun and moon elixirs to prolong her life, her lifespan was naturally very short.

Now she was already thirteen, and all diagnoses said Emily Bennett would be hard-pressed to live past fourteen.

Out of deep love for his daughter, Lucas Bennett held the grand sacrificial ceremony to pray for her.

“Body of extreme yin?” The officials below whispered among themselves. Clearly, they had never heard this term before. If Ethan Grant hadn’t spoken with such detail, they would have almost accused him of making it all up.

After a long while, Lucas Bennett finally recovered from his shock. At the very least, regarding the solar eclipse, Ethan Grant was absolutely correct.
