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."
