Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 221 Zhao Bloodline!
Liu Dutou's laughter and joy don't seem fake, and his promises to you don't seem false... and this is your biggest confusion!

[This is really strange. You slept with his wife for several months and even gave birth to a child with him. This is obviously a huge shame for a man.]

[Under such circumstances, even if he doesn't kill you to silence you, at least he can't express his gratitude to you sincerely, right?]

[He even said to you earnestly: "Thank you for your hard work..."]

[No... Is this still a human?! ]

You looked at him, still laughing, in disbelief. Then you glanced at the table overflowing with food and wine, unsure if this was a poisoned feast...

But after all, you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you. His performance was genuine and heartfelt. Plus, the husband and the simulator provided you with a safety net. After much deliberation, you finally remained expressionless and began to toast him.

[As the food and wine began to flow, the strange atmosphere gradually dissipated...]

As the alcohol took over, you finally couldn't help but ask him directly, "Captain Liu... aren't you angry?"

"Angry? Angry about what?"

Liu Dutou burped in confusion, then suddenly realized, "Oh! You mean that woman?"

He laughed: "I thought it was something else... Well, brother, I'll tell you about it..."

[Then, he slowly told you a long story...]

In the story, he is a loyal and honest man. After decades of military service, he has seen many things, including separation and death, and is therefore extremely worried that he will die in a war one day.

[But he wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid that his death would completely extinguish the incense of his ancestors! ]

[But the problem is that he himself is infertile, so he can only watch helplessly as his family line gradually dies out...]

Under this immense psychological shadow, his mentality collapsed, leading him to think of the most humiliating thing to his dignity: "paying a large sum of money to have a child!"

[While insults are insults, what does it matter when you consider the allure of continued incense offerings?]

[As long as we can finally have a healthy child to continue the Liu family line, then all the sacrifices will be worth it...]

[It is precisely because of this that the news that you successfully made Madam Pan pregnant made him extremely excited...]

【you:……】

[Isn’t that… just this?!]

You looked at him in confusion, "If you just want to find a child to continue the family line, wouldn't adopting one be the same?"

Honestly, you don't really see the difference between "paying a huge sum of money to have a child" and adoption. They're not your own children anyway... Besides, adoption not only reduces the investment cost, but also reduces that... that kind of insult...

[Adoption clearly has so many advantages, why didn't Liu Dutou choose to adopt? Does he really have to go with this whole cuckold thing?!]

[You find that you can't keep up with his train of thought at all...]

Liu Dutou's answer was quite surprising: "Adopt? How could an adopted child possibly satisfy me?"

"Brother, do you think I spent a fortune to marry that woman just out of madness?"

He smiled mysteriously, "That woman is no ordinary woman... Only a child born from someone like her would satisfy me..."

【Um? 】

A thought flashed through your mind: "Could it be that Madam Pan is so special?" As you thought about this, you immediately recalled the wondrous "lustful powers" within your sea of ​​consciousness...

Liu Dutou's answer was just as you might have imagined: "Brother, since I'm willing to risk public condemnation by divorcing my original wife and offering a large sum of money to marry that woman, I'm certainly not stupid!"

"In fact, I'm not after her, but the child she'll give birth to... Her physique is different from that of an ordinary person, and the child she gives birth to will inherit her special constitution. With a child with this special constitution, my Liu family will have the opportunity to embark on the path of transcendence and becoming a saint!"

Your heart skips a beat as you blurt out the question, "Are you referring to... that pink lustful power?"

"Yes!"

Liu Dutou smiled knowingly: "It seems that my brother has already obtained the power of lust from her... This is natural. After all, this power is derived from lust. Even ordinary people like you and me can obtain a small amount of power through indulgence. However, it is too little and is completely useless..."

"To truly reach the realm of transcendence, one must possess a unique physique like hers. This is why I must do everything in my power to help her give birth!"

【…】

[After hearing this, you were stunned, but your mind quickly sorted out these fragmented information...]

First of all, Liu Dutou wasn't a perverted enthusiast. The reason he spent so much money to have a child was actually very simple: he simply wanted a child with a special physique to carry on his family line.

[And the reason he risked being criticized by others by divorcing his original wife and instead offered a large sum of money to marry Madam Pan wasn't simply out of lust or simply out of boredom with the new, but rather to leverage her special physique to add a high-quality heir to the Liu family... It's just that he himself is infertile, so he secretly sought your help.]

[Secondly, the power of lust is no secret in this world. Anyone with a bit of status knows of its existence, and they've even conducted in-depth research. Not only do they know that indulgence can increase divine power, but they also know that people with different physiques have significant differences in the efficiency with which they acquire divine power!]

[People with ordinary physiques have low efficiency, so it is difficult for them to reach the extraordinary level with their meager divine power. However, those with special physiques like Madam Pan have high efficiency. For them, achieving the extraordinary level is not a dream...]

[Secondly, this special physique can be inherited from generation to generation. For example, Madam Pan's children can also have this physique... Therefore, people like them have become the only hope for ordinary people to become extraordinary. Only by improving their own bloodline can the descendants of ordinary people have the opportunity to become extraordinary.]

[So, this physique isn't so much a physique as it is a bloodline... It's similar to the bloodlines of divine beasts in fantasy novels. The better the bloodline, the higher the aptitude for cultivation. Without the blessing of divine beast bloodlines, the probability of a mortal becoming an immortal is extremely low...]

From this, several new questions gradually arise in your mind: Since this lustful power can make people transcend, how strong does it need to be to produce a noticeable effect? ​​And what are its effects?

[Then, where does this special bloodline come from? Why does Madam Pan possess it?]

[With doubt in your heart, you asked all these questions...]

After hearing your question, Liu Dutou thought for a moment and said he couldn't answer the previous question, as he himself didn't know what this divine power actually was... But if it was about the origin of this special bloodline, he could give an answer!

But he didn't answer directly. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Brother, what do you think of Madam Pan's background?"

You frown. What's your origin? Isn't it just an ordinary person?

[Thinking of this, you suddenly remember: If there's one thing that makes her special, it's that she's very caring... She never repeats herself in her cooking, and her dishes are always delicious and beautiful. She washes clothes very cleanly, and her clothes are always stylish. And she's almost completely obedient to men...]

[Combining these characteristics, it's as if she's been specially trained... Rather than calling her a woman from an ordinary family, it's better to say she's a maid meticulously trained by a wealthy family!]

[Thinking about it this way, your train of thought suddenly clicks... However, even if she's a professional maid, it's unlikely that she possesses a special bloodline, right? After all, according to what Liu Dutou just said, this kind of bloodline is purely inherited from parents. How could a maid's parents be such prominent figures? That doesn't make sense...]

Seeing the confusion in your eyes, Liu Dutou couldn't help but grin and slowly revealed the mystery.

[“Let’s put it this way… Madam Pan was also born to parents with special bloodlines, but her father, surnamed Pan, wasn’t considered prominent… The truly prominent one was actually her mother.”]

"And her mother's surname is Zhao!"
