No Feudal Lords attended this year's court celebrations, so the affair was modest, leaving Zi Shou quite at leisure. He could use the spare time to make up for his Foolishness Value.
Doing nothing was not an option! That passive backstabbing skill was still in effect!
Zi Shou was at the Medical Academy, explaining a surgical procedure to Qian Bao and Yu Hua.
After turning it over in his mind, he decided that apart from disrespecting the gods, promoting surgery was his safest bet. A single cesarean section had already brought him who knew how much Foolishness Value.
Besides, once he won Qian Bao over, he would not need to worry about the court officials' opinions. If the professional himself did not object, nothing anyone else said would matter.
Zi Shou's face was a little red, and he felt terribly embarrassed. But when he thought of that Foolishness Value, as dependable as an old dog, and of ascending on the spot to punch straight through the heavenly Dao, he shed his embarrassment and declared with perfect conviction:
"Circumcision has many benefits. Once it succeeds, the likelihood of hidden ailments in the nether regions decreases, leaving one quite healthy."
Zi Shou considered his wording briefly, then continued, "Every morning, fledglings chirp at the palace gates, waiting for their parents to feed them. But they cannot grow if they are always sheltered. Only once they are set free and weather nature's wind and rain can they become braver and stronger. When foraging, they will be able to remain in flight much longer."
Qian Bao and Yu Hua listened in bewilderment, though fortunately, they eventually understood King Zhou's meaning.
This was the way of nature. Apparently, it meant cutting away excess protection.
The question was, could that thing simply be cut off?
