Chapter 289: The Problem of Having Children

Seeing that Chu Jiang didn’t ask any more questions for a short time, Jing Ruoxue casually started chatting about something else. "There’s a rumor going around that each generation of Chu’s Jiang is the same person."

"The same person?" Chu Jiang didn’t quite understand.

"It means that the first ancestor of the Chu family used some kind of method to become immortal."

"Of course, this is impossible. We can only say that every generation of Chu’s Jiang is the same ghost, it is impossible for each generation to be the same person."

"After all, we are very mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people, which naturally triggers many strange guesses."

"Even Jing’s family is more mysterious than Chu’s family, because in the early years, Chu’s Jiang’s lineage usually handled external negotiations. As a result, only a few people knew that there is our lineage in Chu’s territory."

Chu Jiang looked at Jing Ruoxue’s face. "The mask on your face…"

Jing Ruoxue instinctively touched her face. "It’s okay, it has just been affected. Give me some time, I will let my face return to normal."

This confirmed Chu Jiang’s speculation in his heart. Jing Ruoxue is still unable to control the ghost inside her body well, at least not as well as he can. He would not let this happen.

"Let me try," Chu Jiang said as he stood up and walked in front of Jing Ruoxue.

Speaking of Chu Mei, this ghost looks somewhat similar to Zhou Wenshan in appearance, but the abilities seem to be different. I wonder if they belong to the same series.

Seeing Chu Jiang reach out to her, Jing Ruoxue didn’t resist, she just sat quietly.

Chu Jiang’s right hand turned dark blue, and when he gently touched Jing Ruoxue’s face with his fingertips, something magical happened. Part of the white mask actually faded away, revealing a small area of flawless fair skin.

Seeing the effect, Chu Jiang didn’t hesitate. He reached out his hands and rubbed Jing Ruoxue’s face a few times, quickly restoring it to its original state.

But as soon as Chu Jiang let go, the mask grew back.

"Hmm, if you cooperate and use your mind to control the power of that ghost."

Hearing this, Jing Ruoxue agreed. Chu Jiang tried again and finally managed to make her return to normal.

This woman had a pretty oval face, delicate features, shining eyes, and beautiful eyebrows. She was quite good-looking. But given Chu Jiang’s current situation, just being good-looking couldn’t make him feel anything special.

Sitting down again, Chu Jiang asked a serious question, "Do you know how the Chu’s Jiang family lineage gives birth to children?"

Jing Ruoxue’s face was originally calm and unaffected, even after Chu Jiang rubbed her face, but as soon as she heard his question, her face instantly turned red.

"Uh… " Chu Jiang coughed, "Don’t misunderstand, I’m very serious."

"I believe you understand that even if the ghosts inside you are silent, their influence on humans cannot completely disappear."

"For example, I have become less interested in matters between men and women, both emotionally and physically."

Jing Ruoxue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "You don’t have to worry too much about this."

"Before engaging in such activities seriously, there is a prelude. As long as the health level is maintained above average, when both the man and woman tease each other, they will naturally feel something."

"Another option is to take medicine if necessary. However, based on the family records I have seen, it doesn’t seem to be as exaggerated. Maybe the first few times will be a bit inexperienced, but it will become normal afterwards."

Chu Jiang nodded slightly. "That’s good. I thought we needed supernatural powers to have children."

"It is not impossible," Jing Ruoxue said, looking at her own right hand. "Chu Mei used to only determine good and bad fortunes, but since receiving worship from the people of Chu, some of the followers have prayed to the gods, hoping for a happy marriage and many children in their own families."

"Our ancestors in the Jing family, in necessary situations, would satisfy the other party’s requests to a certain extent. Actually, it is using the ghost’s abilities on them at specific times, making their luck better during that period."

"Since their luck improves, the chances of successful conception naturally increase."

After listening, Chu Jiang was really surprised. Can this really be done? It seems that as long as you have a big imagination, it’s not impossible to use ghosts to benefit humans.

"Moreover, with long-lasting inheritance, Chu Mei seems to have truly developed corresponding abilities in this aspect. That’s why I said, gods are, to some extent, born from humans’ thoughts and ideas."

Chu Jiang nodded again, "Then if I can’t have children in the future, I’ll ask for your help."

Upon hearing this, Jing Ruoxue blushed again, even lowering her head slightly, too shy to look at Chu Jiang.

"No, I… " Chu Jiang found it somewhat funny and frustrating, "You understand what I mean, I’m referring to situations where conception would not be possible naturally."

Jing Ruoxue nodded repeatedly, "I know." But her voice involuntarily became quieter, indicating she inevitably thought of another possibility.

To sum up, after getting an answer from Jing Ruoxue, Chu Jiang finally let go of a doubt in his heart.

"Oh, by the way," Jing Ruoxue remembered something at this moment, "The Chu family usually has fewer descendants, but it’s unrelated to your concerns. It’s mainly because of the Chu’s Jiang ghost, which has become part of your bloodline."

"So even if you have children in the future, it probably won’t exceed two or three, the chances of having one are even greater."

"No problem, it doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl." Chu Jiang is very relaxed about this. He just wants to be more like a person, not a ghost.

"Most likely it’s a boy," Jing Ruoxue said.

"What if it’s an only daughter?"

"If it’s an only daughter, she may not be able to fully unleash Chu’s Jiang’s power, only about 70-80%. So, the position of Chu’s Jiang in that generation would be vacant. Even if that only daughter can tap into the power of her bloodline."

"We have to wait for her to continue the legacy until a male heir appears."

Chu Jiang was curious about this, "Do ghosts have genders?"

"Maybe," Jing Ruoxue said cautiously, hesitating to make a definite statement.

After all, people’s understanding of ghosts mostly comes from long observations and experiences. Ghosts don’t reveal this knowledge themselves.

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, realizing that he had asked most of the important questions. The rest, he guessed, he could only find out by locating his biological parents.

Including why Chu’s ancestors would say, perhaps Chu’s Jiang should not exist…

If it’s just because this ghost devours human nature, it seems the inheritance should have been stopped long ago. After all these years, the Chu family should have realized this.

Of course, it is also possible that hundreds of years ago, the head of the family suddenly awakened and believed that this "sacrifice" should not have happened. So he decisively made the decision to make Chu’s Jiang lineage disappear and future generations no longer bear this fate.

In fact, Master Lin did something similar.
