The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 1188

Chapter 1188: Chapter 1188
"What are you doing, get up quickly?"
This kneeling left Lin Yifan a bit stunned.
Instinctively, he reached out to pull Xizhu.
Xizhu stubbornly pushed Lin Yifan’s hand away, with tears in his eyes.
"Brother, if you don’t agree to this, I won’t get up."
"Whatever it is, get up and talk. As long as I can do it, I’ll definitely help. There’s no point in kneeling."
Lin Yifan pulled and dragged until he finally got Xizhu to stand up.
Sitting on the edge of the kang, Xizhu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Lin Yifan, and lit it for him.
"Brother, I’ll be honest with you. I’ve been married for three years, but we don’t have a child. I get talked about behind my back in the village every day. My parents can’t hold their heads up in the village. Now, I leave the house before dawn and only dare to come back after dark, afraid of running into people on the road."
Xizhu clenched his fists, his face growing redder.
"This is simple. Tomorrow I’ll pick some herbs from the mountain for you. As long as you follow my prescription, I guarantee your kidneys will be as strong as iron. By then, you might have three within two years."
Lin Yifan patted Xizhu’s shoulder and said.
He had thought of this when he was on the mountain earlier today.
Xizhu was his best friend, of course, he wouldn’t take advantage of the situation.
With his current medical skills, boosting a man’s vitality was a piece of cake.
"Brother, when I was eighteen, I was injured by an explosive at the mine. I survived, but that part of me is gone. Later, I met Jiufeng. I didn’t want to harm her, but she wanted to repay me for helping her and her mother. She said she didn’t mind. We were young and didn’t really understand, thinking we could go on like this for life. But now we’re older, and problems keep coming up. My mom curses every day in the yard, and I dare not tell her the truth. If she knew I couldn’t have a child, they’d surely die from anger."
Xizhu took a deep drag on his cigarette and lit another.
Such matters were a huge blow to him.
"You could try IVF, there might still be a chance."
Lin Yifan smirked as this situation was indeed a bit troublesome.
After all, the Heavenly Essence and Earthly Splendor needed for limb regeneration were too rare.
Even with his abilities as a Heavenly Doctor, he couldn’t work without the necessary materials.
"Brother, we’re all grown up. You know, just having a child isn’t enough. If this doesn’t work, there’s no telling how long Jiufeng will stay. She hasn’t cheated on me like Widow Zhao has in these years, and I’m already content. But it’s also unfair to her, so... I’m begging you... please help me..."
Xizhu grabbed Lin Yifan’s arm.
"How can I do that?"
Lin Yifan stared at Xizhu in surprise.
He really wouldn’t take Xu Fengxian’s suggestion seriously, would he?
"Brother, Jiufeng and I are only a couple in name. We have no real relationship. Now she’s asking for a divorce. But if she leaves, marries someone else, and has a child, the whole village will know I’m an eunuch. How would I hold my head up high in the village? I’m begging you, have a child with Jiufeng."
"Xizhu, what are you saying? That’s not possible."
Lin Yifan instinctively shook off Xizhu’s arm.
"Brother, why not? We’re like siblings more than anything. We have nothing. If you have a child with Jiufeng, I’ll raise it. If you can’t bear to leave it, you can take it back after my parents pass away. I won’t interfere with what you and Jiufeng do afterward. I’m just asking for my parents to live a few more years."
Xizhu’s tears were about to fall.
In the countryside, the worst fear is gossip and losing face.
Over these years, his parents have suffered a lot because of this.
"Xizhu, calm down, you can’t say such things lightly."
Lin Yifan was still having a hard time accepting this.
If he were still in his carefree days, maybe he wouldn’t mind.
But now that he’s sober, he feels uncomfortable about it.
Seeing his difficulty, Xizhu knelt down again with a thud.
"Brother, I am calm. I can only trust you with this. Otherwise, if things go on like this, Jiufeng might end up doing something drastic, and my parents would die from anger. Please, help me. If you don’t agree, I won’t get up."
"It’s not just up to me. As for your sister-in-law..."
Seeing Xizhu crying his eyes out, Lin Yifan couldn’t help but pull him up again.
Over these three years, Xizhu had been looking out for him everywhere.
Now that things had come to this, he truly couldn’t refuse.
"I’ll talk to Jiufeng. You’re handsome and educated. She shouldn’t refuse."
Xizhu wiped his tears and made the decision.
"You should discuss it with Jiufeng first."
Lin Yifan sighed.
Just from the way she sneakily glanced at him today, he already knew what her answer would be.
It seemed this was a favor he couldn’t refuse.
"Alright, brother, it’s settled. Once Jiufeng and I have discussed it, I’ll call you over. You can stay at my place. I’ll keep watch, and you can sleep as you like."
After saying this, Xizhu turned and left.
Leaving Lin Yifan sitting cross-legged on the kang.
His mother was too weak; since the acupuncture treatment, she had been sleeping in the west room.
Maybe she’d wake up by early morning. During this time, he should also get his main task done.
Finding an old pair of slippers from under the kang, Lin Yifan pushed open the door to the inner room and went into the kitchen.
The old house had a simple structure: two stoves upon entering the outer room, with a cabinet for bowls against the opposite wall.
Lin Yifan opened the cabinet above the bowl rack, revealing two old porcelain bowls and an incense burner.
He filled the porcelain bowls with water from the vat, opened the cabinet below, and took out a bundle of sandalwood incense.
"Spirits of the four directions, heed my call. The 32nd generation Soul Suppressing Man, paying his respects!"
Lin Yifan pulled out and lit four sticks, holding them respectfully in his hands.
This simple ritual symbolized that he would become the new Soul Suppressing Man, guarding the secrets of the vast mountains behind him.
He bowed thrice toward the water bowls before inserting the four incense sticks into the burner.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
In the darkness, five beams of light shot straight from the old house to the sky.
Like brilliant fireworks and ethereal clouds, they intertwined.
The Earth Profound Power summoned dozens of bolts of lightning from the clouds, colliding with the five lights.
"Boom!"
A massive explosion echoed over Black Bear Valley, illuminating Taoyuan Village in an instant.
The entire earth seemed to tremble.
Soon after, a torrential rain began to pour.
Though the thunder was loud, it blended seamlessly into the rainy night.
To ordinary people, it wasn’t unusual.
But in the tranquil mountain village, many eyes watched the sky’s anomaly.
"Damn it, the Old Lin Family boy is back!"
"Just a brat, what’s there to fear? When the village guardian’s lifespan ends, the things in Blind Valley will be ours."
"Don’t underestimate the descendants of the Soul Suppressing Man. His return at this moment means Old Ghost Lin might have something hidden up his sleeve, can’t be too careful."
"We’ve waited for decades, are we just going to wait until he dies?"
"Let’s watch and see what those old folks do."
"If we can let them fight like the crane and the clam, won’t we be the fisherman who gains?"
Everyone hidden in various corners had their own plans.
At this moment, behind the old house in the Black Bear Valley, amidst the steep mountains, strange cries echoed.
It seemed like countless evil spirits were wailing mournfully.
