When a Master of Metaphysics Marries into a Wealthy Family

uring wartime and enjoyed wealth and prosperity during peacetime.
For him, there were no regrets left.

Shen Ye nodded and said, “That’s precisely what I’m going to talk to you about next.
With your deep merit, after passing away peacefully in this life, you will enjoy immense wealth and prosperity in the next nine lives.
In those nine lives, as long as you don’t commit any wrongdoing, you will continue to enjoy wealth and prosperity.”

The heavenly dao is fair, and good and evil receive their due rewards.
It would undoubtedly not let down a great virtuous person like Grandpa Niu.

Grandpa Niu had never expected to have such great merit.
He said with surprise, “Is this true? Why would I deserve such fortune…”

Shen Ye interrupted him, “You are a great virtuous person.
This is what you deserve.”

Tears welled up in Grandpa Niu’s eyes.
“I… I…”

He was too overwhelmed with emotion to speak.

It wasn’t because he could enjoy prosperity for nine lives, but because he realized that Heaven recognized his actions in this lifetime.
He felt that he was worthy.

“Actually, someone in your situation, if this were ancient times, would definitely ascend to the immortal realm,” Shen Ye shrugged.
“Unfortunately, this world lacks spiritual energy, so you can only enjoy prosperity for nine lives.”

Grandpa Niu’s eyes turned red, and he smiled as he looked at Shen Ye.
“I never wished for prosperity in nine lives.
Being able to pass away peacefully in this life is already enough for me.”

Back then, when the enemy attacked his hometown, an entire town was burned by the enemy forces, and countless lives disappeared into the river of history.

He took his youngest sister and fled to the north.
Later, he joined the army and fought in battles.
Perhaps he had some talent because he almost always won in battles.
However, in those days, life was still tough.
He and his subordinates dug tree roots, ate snow to stave off hunger, and even resorted to eating clay when they were besieged by enemies and faced extreme difficulties.

Afterward, he survived and witnessed the country becoming prosperous and powerful.
Compared to his comrades who died on the battlefield, he spent the second half of his life in comfort and was able to pass away peacefully.
How fortunate he was.

Shen Ye looked at Grandpa Niu’s face and knew that he was truly selfless, which made him respect him even more.

He couldn’t fully understand Grandpa Niu’s values as a virtuous person, but he had great respect for them.

Actually, Shen Ye had thought about whether he should extend Grandpa Niu’s life for now and take him back to his original world in the future to cultivate together.
However, he realized that Grandpa Niu was too old, and even if he entered the path of cultivation with him, his physical abilities wouldn’t be able to keep up.
Moreover, it was impossible to rejuvenate his body in this world… So it would be better to let Grandpa Niu reincarnate.

He planned to open the passage between the two realms and then find Grandpa Niu in his next or next-next life.
That would make things much simpler.

Of course, he didn’t mention this to Grandpa Niu.

He wasn’t sure when he would be able to open the passage between the two realms.
If he couldn’t do it by then, it would disappoint Grandpa Niu’s expectations.

Grandpa Niu asked Shen Ye softly, “Can you tell me how much time I have left?”

“Three days,” Shen Ye said.
“If I hadn’t come today, you would have remained unconscious for the next three days, only awakening in the last moments of the final day to settle your affairs with your family.”

Grandpa Niu accepted this fact calmly.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, “Can I call a few of the children in now to discuss some matters?”

In reality, he had already made all the necessary arrangements for his affairs, but he still wanted to have a conversation with his family while he was conscious.

Shen Ye nodded and said, “Sure, you can do that.” It didn’t violate the laws of the heavenly Dao.

Grandpa Niu expressed his gratitude and said, “Please help me bring them in.”

Shen Ye then asked Ye Ze to accompany Grandpa Niu while he went out to call Uncle Niu and the others.

Due to Grandpa Niu’s critical condition, most of the Niu family members were staying in the hospital.
However, since Shen Ye had just arrived to treat Grandpa Niu, Uncle Niu sent the family members to rest so as not to disturb Shen Ye.
Therefore, there was only Uncle Niu guarding outside the intensive care unit.

When Uncle Niu saw Shen Ye walking out of the ward, he hurriedly approached and asked, “Xiaoye, how is my father?”

Shen Ye said, “Gather all your family members.
Grandpa Niu wants to talk to you.”

“Is my father awake?” Uncle Niu was initially happy but then realized that it could also be a temporary improvement, and his face turned pale.

He couldn’t determine whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, so he looked at Shen Ye anxiously.

Shen Ye knew what he was thinking and said, “It’s not a bad thing.”

Only then did Uncle Niu let out a long sigh of relief.
He immediately called everyone from the Niu family together and followed Shen Ye into the ward.

When everyone saw Grandpa Niu awake and looking relatively well, they became elated.

Uncle Niu looked at Shen Ye gratefully and said, “Xiaoye, thank you.”

Shen Ye couldn’t bear to tell him the truth, so he shook his head and said, “You should talk to Grandpa Niu first.
Don’t mind us.”

He pulled Ye Ze to the entrance of the ward.

With four generations of the Niu family living under one roof, excluding the children who didn’t come, there were more than twenty people crowded inside the ward.
It was quite cramped.

Fortunately, this family was harmonious, and they automatically arranged themselves in order of age, so it didn’t appear noisy or chaotic.

Uncle Niu spoke softly, “Dad, are you feeling better?”

“Don’t worry,” Grandpa Niu paused and said, “Shen Ye and I had a long conversation just now.
There are some things I need to tell all of you.”

He didn’t hide anything and relayed Shen Ye’s words to everyone.

At first, everyone was amazed by the immense wealth and prosperity of the Ninth Generation, but when they heard that Grandpa Niu had at most three days to live, tears welled up in their eyes.
Some even quietly sobbed.

Grandpa Niu said, “Don’t be sad.
I’ve been blessed with good fortune.
In the future, all of you should do more good deeds so that you can be born into a good life in the next life.”

He was advising the Niu family to be virtuous, and Uncle Niu immediately replied, “Dad, rest assured, we will remember your teachings.”

When Grandpa Niu passed away, Uncle Niu would become the head of the Niu family.
Since Grandpa Niu managed the family with strict discipline, Uncle Niu would naturally continue his father’s style.

Fortunately, although there are some younger generations in the Niu family who lack ambition, none of them engage in criminal activities.
They all abide by the law.

Grandpa Niu nodded in satisfaction and said, “Then I have no regrets.”

Afterward, he blessed his descendants with words, mainly urging them to be good people and work diligently.

As Shen Ye listened, he couldn’t help but lean over to Ye Ze and exclaimed, “I’ve done so much business and helped so many people, but out of all of them, it turns out that it’s not for their sake, but… to send Grandpa Niu off to be reincarnated.”

Experiencing something like this for the first time, he found it quite novel, but more than that, he admired Grandpa Niu’s character.

Ye Ze gently touched his face and said, “That was Grandpa Niu’s own choice.”

Shen Ye murmured, “Yes, it was.”

Meanwhile, Grandpa Niu had almost finished giving his instructions.
He asked Uncle Niu, “Are Xiaoye and Xiaoze here?”

Shen Ye and Ye Ze heard their names being called and hurriedly stepped forward.

Grandpa Niu said, “I didn’t attend the banquet last time, nor did I give you any gifts… I have something in your grandfather’s possession, and I want to give it to both of you.”

Shen Ye glanced at Grandpa Niu’s face and guessed what it was.
He said, “It must be something very precious.”

Grandpa Niu smiled and said, “If you think it’s precious, then promise me one thing, okay?”

Shen Ye already knew what he was going to say and reluctantly nodded, “Alright.”

“After getting old, my appetite hasn’t been good.
There are many things I can’t eat.
Can you let me indulge and eat to my heart’s content now?” Grandpa Niu began listing the things he wanted to eat, “I want to have roast duck, beggar’s chicken, and roasted goose…”

Everyone in the Niu family: “…”
