Chapter 11: East Sea Marquis Long Tao

"Gender... gender change?"

After hearing Lu Heng’s words, Cai was completely dumbfounded.

This old witch actually wants a gender change...

Doesn’t that mean she wants to change from a woman to a man?

No wonder for the past year and a half, the old witch has clearly shown signs of disgust.

Turns out she’s tired of being a woman and wants to become a man!

But at your age, why bother with a gender change?

Lu Heng smiled faintly and said, "The reason she has such thoughts is that she actually feels disappointed in you and her previous husbands. She wants to be a man herself!"

"If my young friend here still wants to save this marriage, it’s not too late!"

"The first step is to cut off contact with the other women around you as soon as possible."

"Your wife has already sensed this. If you continue to entangle with those women, within a year or so, your wife will propose divorce."

"As of now, she still has some feelings for you."

"If you can sever these complicated relationships and sincerely apologize to your wife, I think she might forgive you."

"Once her feelings have run out, it will be too late for anything..."

Although Cai is a decent person, he’s too lucky with women.

And he’s somewhat indecisive, unable to make a clean break.

Of course, this is understandable.

After all, Cai is still a vibrant young fellow, how could he endure loneliness with a wife over sixty?

These words not only made Cai look embarrassed but also stunned the livestream audience.

Good gracious!

This truly is like slicing a knife through butter, enlightening!

At first, Cai gave everyone the impression of a hardworking and aspirational young man from a poor background.

But in the middle, he turned into a gigolo living off a sugar mama.

Now what?

Now he’s a super player juggling many women!

"Wow! Disappointed in a player, so she’s going to change genders and become a man herself."

"But at her age, can she really change? What if something goes wrong halfway?"

"Disappointed in men and turns herself into one? What kind of logic is that?"

"It’s outrageous! Having a rich madam wasn’t enough, he has to cheat too!"

"Huh, birds of a feather flock together!"

"Cai plays around outside, the rich lady plays with men outside, what a perfect match!"

"May you live in harmony and not harm others."

"Damn, players are hateful! What’s worse is, why am I not a player?"

"Poor me, the Daniel Wu of Celestial Sea, devastatingly handsome, yet not even capable of being a womanizer."

"Boo hoo, I don’t dare to wish to play women, I just wish women would play me..."

Under the barrage of accusations from the livestream, Cai was utterly awkward.

He hurriedly defended himself, "Daoist, I’m just friends with those women."

Lu Heng shook his head and said, "What you do with them, I don’t care."

"Because the person you need to explain to is your wife, not me, understand?"

"Daoist, I understand."

Cai nodded quickly.

It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard to go from luxury to frugality!

Now that he’s gotten used to the high life of luxurious cars and fine wine, how could he willingly return to uncertain times?

Although there’s a bit of resentment in his heart, for the sake of future prosperity, he had to grit his teeth and accept it.

Lu Heng continued, "And the second point, well, you need to put more thought into it."

"Your wife values family greatly, she’s very attentive to sons, daughters, and nephews."

"If you can take care of her relatives, even if she isn’t fond of you, she won’t initiate divorce."

"Lastly, her idea hasn’t been around for long, you should persuade her sincerely."

"She’s older now, the risks of surgery aren’t small..."

These three pieces of advice are very pertinent.

If Cai can manage them, he could practically secure his wealthy wife’s loyalty.

"Thank you, Daoist, for solving my puzzle!"

After listening, Cai looked as if he had an epiphany.

He finally understood the Daoist’s intentions.

The first advice to cut off relations with other women allows him to remain undefeated, not giving the old witch an excuse for divorce.

The second advice, to use the old witch’s emphasis on family, to sustain the marriage through familial bonds.

And the third is to warn the old witch about the risks of gender reassignment surgery.

People with wealth, they mostly cherish their lives!

Cai now had his strategy in mind.

After gratefully sending five Cloud-Piercing Arrows, he immediately logged off to plan his marriage defense strategy.

Though Cai logged off, the audience’s mockery didn’t cease.

"Living off a sugar mama, yet fooling around outside, truly despicable!"

"Long live Sister Li, having to endure a lady over sixty."

"Damn, if it were me, I’d have nightmares every night!"

"Ha! Now you say she’s an old lady, back then when you called her ’baby’, why didn’t you mind?"

"Right, beggars can’t be choosers?"

"Cai isn’t ruthless enough, if he found a ninety-year-old rich lady, once she passed, he’d be loaded!"

"Bro, good idea! I’ll find an old rich lady too, and end up on next year’s Forbes list!"

"I love you, I love your deep wrinkles, I love your saggy chest, I love your bald gums! Ugh..."

Amused by the comments on screen, Lu Heng smiled knowingly.

Having these comical audience members around really is delightful!

Then, the system notification sounded again.

[System Notice: Host has successfully altered Heavenly Dao, absorbing Life Span, please check later...]

The sudden system notification made him feel quite gratified.

Firstly, he earned more Life Span points.

Secondly, it seemed Cai had decided to change everything he had.

This meant his future no longer meant leaving with nothing.

"System!"

Lu Heng called up the system interface and glanced at the Life Span.

His Life Span points had risen to 14.

Deducting the original 3, he gained 11 points from Cai’s matter.

Cai himself was probably just an insignificant man.

But his wife wasn’t!

If the wealthy lady doesn’t divorce or change gender, who knows how many fates will be altered.

So these 11 Life Span points aren’t really a lot.

After looking away from the system interface, Lu Heng returned to character.

He said aloud, "We’ve finished with our first fated viewer."

"Now, let’s welcome the second!"

"Let’s see... Please welcome our second fated viewer—East Sea Marquis Long Tao!"

Hearing this name, the viewers couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Long Tao, why does that sound so familiar?"

"Twenty-three-year-old Long Tao sitting in the first-class cabin of flight CA984, waiting for takeoff..."

"Golden scales can’t be kept in a pond, once encountering wind and cloud, it turns into a dragon!"

"Success due to wind and cloud, also failure due to wind and cloud?"

"Hello everyone, I’m Breaking the waves and clouds!"

"You’re daring to break the waves and clouds, aren’t you afraid of Xiong Ba crushing you?"

"Greetings Long Tao, I’m Gao Yi!"

"Gao Yi, you loser, do you still recognize me, the gambling god Gao Jin?"

Lu Heng didn’t pay attention to the crazy antics of these comical viewers, but instead sent a connection request to "East Sea Marquis Long Tao."

Soon, the connection was accepted.

A skinny, bespectacled, quiet young man appeared in the livestream.
