Chapter 285 - 285 285 Cleansing Nine Generations of Women
?Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Cleansing Nine Generations of Women, Family Prosperity Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Cleansing Nine Generations of Women, Family Prosperity Scarlett Jennings frowned slightly upon hearing those four words.
She had never heard of “first daughter drowning,” but she had come across it in books distributed by the Taoism Academy.
“First daughter drowning, nine generations washed, the family prospers.”
The ghost’s voice recited those twelve words in a low tone, yet there was a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
Ariel Zimmerman looked bewildered and quietly asked Evander Simpson beside her,
“What is first daughter drowning?”
Evander, having apparently heard of it, wore a displeased expression but still explained,
“That was an evil technique of geomancy once believed in ancient times; the so-called first daughter drowning was the practice of drowning the firstborn daughters of the first family branch. They believed that after nine generations of this ritual, the family’s fortune would change, leading to future prosperity.”
Upon hearing Evander’s explanation, not only Ariel but even the staff nearby, along with the viewers in the livestream, could not help but widen their eyes.
They knew ancient feudal societies had many abhorrent customs, yet they had never thought there existed such a malignant evil technique.
As if hearing Evander’s explanation, the ghost suddenly descended slowly from mid-air.
She paid no attention to the soul stabilizing talisman trapping her, only sneering coldly as she spoke of her own family,
“The family I belonged to, though having a modest fortune, was not a prominent one. Not sure which generation of the family head desperately wanted the family to prosper and began the nine generations of first daughter drowning after hearing of the method.”
