Chapter 247: What happens if a person loses all their emotions? (Feeling)

The person who arrived was none other than Qi Xueyan, who had returned from Li Zhu Country.

Wearing a white lace top paired with a high-waisted chiffon skirt, her face lightly made up, and complemented by black silk stockings, she carried an air of sweet elegance mixed with a touch of mature sophistication.

Lin Chao took an extra look at Qi Xueyan; for some reason, he felt that today's Qi Xueyan was a bit different from usual.

But if asked to say where the difference lay, he could not put it into words.

"This, a Peace Talisman from the Fukong Church." Qi Xueyan extended her fair, jade-like hand, which held a talisman, "I went to the Fukong Church specifically to pray for this for you."

"Thank you." Lin Chao took the Peace Talisman.

It was a very ordinary talisman, with nothing special about it.

Since it was a gift from a beautiful woman, there was naturally no need to refuse.

"Sigh..." Qi Xueyan's mood was somewhat low.

"What's wrong?"

"When I went to that church of the Fukong Sect to pray for the talisman, the day after I returned, I saw the news that the church had suffered a ground collapse and the entire church was gone. It's a pity."

Qi Xueyan sighed, seemingly lamenting the impermanence and changes of the world.

"Heaven has unpredictable winds, and people have misfortunes and blessings; some things cannot be forced," Lin Chao said casually.

The two walked side by side on campus, a gentle breeze brushing their faces, and the original scorching sun became less intense.

On campus, it was bustling with activity, and fair, tender thighs could be seen everywhere.

Some people were playing ball on the court, while others were taking photos under the trees.

Qi Xueyan leaned against the railing: "Lin Chao, what do you plan to do after graduation?"

Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

This was a question he truly hadn't thought about lately.

After all, he had now entered the Supernatural, stepped into various worlds, and experienced ghostly winds and clouds.

His life had long since changed.

"Perhaps, join a small company and live an Ordinary life.

Or maybe, take the civil service exam?"

Lin Chao answered.

If he hadn't stepped into the Supernatural, perhaps this would be his future life.

Pushed forward by life, by Gold.

"What about you?" Lin Chao asked in return.

"I don't know." Qi Xueyan shook her head.

Today's Qi Xueyan was indeed a bit different from usual, appearing more sentimental.

Lin Chao turned to the side, the mottled light and shadow falling upon Qi Xueyan; she happened to turn around as well, her stunning face now carrying a hint of coldness, icy and mature, her red lips slightly parted.

"Tell me, if a person lost all their emotions, what would they become?"

Losing emotions?

"Perhaps, they could no longer be called human."

"Is that so?"

"If following certain theories, it could be called the Dao."

The Great Dao is emotionless.

The Heavenly Dao is also relatively the most fair and just.

"If your emotions were stripped away, and you were given the strongest power in the world, would you be willing?" Qi Xueyan smiled faintly.

Lin Chao smiled: "Are you giving it to me?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, not continuing the discussion on this topic.

Lin Chao and Qi Xueyan went shopping together, had dinner together, and finally returned to their respective homes.

Lin Chao's mood remained calm throughout.

Such days were calm and bland, leisurely and undisturbed.

However, this was probably the life most people wanted.

One house, two people, three meals, four seasons, seven emotions, six desires, five flavors, a hundred years.

No great disasters or calamities, content with small wealth.

In this life, Lin Chao could never have that.

Liuli Snow Mountain had been exceptionally lively lately.

Many tourists came here, and internet influencers also flocked over to film videos and ride the trend.

In a spacious room, Xia Junji frowned: "Where is the chimpanzee from Li Zhu Country now?"

As the leader of the newly formed Xia Group, Xia Junji paid close attention to such Supernatural events.

Especially the chimpanzee that had recently appeared in Li Zhu Country, which was exceptionally powerful and made one worry.

"It last appeared two days ago in Yunduan Province; its current trail is unclear."

"This chimpanzee is extremely dangerous," Xia Junji said.

Xia Junji knew best just how strong the military power of Li Zhu Country was.

Even with all the resources Li Zhu Country had spent, they couldn't do anything about the chimpanzee.

That chimpanzee could be said to be almost impossible to defeat.

A few days ago, Daxia's military experts gathered together to discuss methods to deal with the chimpanzee.

They finally concluded that even if all of Great Xia Country's Nuclear Weapons were used up, they could not truly defeat that chimpanzee.

This is terrifying.

The Xia Group has always been very concerned about that chimpanzee.

"Indeed, the chimpanzee is far too powerful, and Li Zhu Country harbors malicious intentions toward our Great Xia Country; we must be on guard," Xu Yijun said.

He is a fishing streamer, hailed as the Fishing King.

Last time, while fishing at a lake on Dan Jian Mountain, he happened to encounter Zhang Shaoqin taking Lin Ping's Dao Sword.

At that time, the Dao Sword was flying about, and it was recorded by Xu Yijun; many people in the livestream room saw it.

Precisely because of this, Xu Yijun was found by Xia Group and recruited as an operative.

"Hmm," Xia Group nodded, "Other groups have already sent people to keep a close watch on Li Zhu Country, and the Cabinet will also communicate with Li Zhu Country.

These matters do not require our worry."

Worrying is also useless.

With the strength of the Xia Group, they are simply unable to deal with that chimpanzee.

The reason Xia Group mentioned the chimpanzee was because they are at Liuli Snow Mountain.

If the chimpanzee from Li Zhu Country were to enter Daxia, it might pass through Liuli Snow Mountain.

"Alright, let's discuss serious business," Xia Group said, and he took out a stack of documents.

The others all held documents.

"According to the information we have obtained, the number of Transcendental individuals who appeared on Liuli Snow Mountain this time... is somewhat high."

Xia Group was quite helpless.

They had been looking for Transcendental individuals for so long, and yet only those few had been confirmed and were under secret observation.

But now, a whole bunch had suddenly appeared.

"Hmm," the other members were both excited and thrilled.

As their investigation into the Supernatural deepened, they gained a better understanding of the Supernatural.

"The Dao Sword of the Immortal Lin Ping; Heize's God Position Spear; the giant snake of the Heishui Mountain Range; the Temple Master of Daoyi Guan; Zhang Shaoqin; the one from Li Zhu Country...

Besides those already confirmed to be related to the Supernatural, we also discovered that at the time the Supernatural manifested on Liuli Snow Mountain, seventy-three other people happened to be there for tourism; all these people are worthy of our focused attention to screen for suspicious targets."

The others nodded.

The current Xia Group is still in the investigation and confirmation stage.

The primary task is to determine who those Transcendental individuals are.

Then, collect various data and build models for analysis.

If the authorities can find the path to the Supernatural based on these people's experiences, that would be best.

At the same time, select suitable Transcendental individuals to make contact with and entice them with heavy rewards.

As of now, the authorities cannot assess how strong the power of Transcendental individuals is, so it is impossible to use forceful means.

"Xu Yijun, use your old profession to observe the situation and make secret contact with these targets.

Especially this one... Ling Jin."

Xia Group said.

He knows Ling Jin, a person from Feng Family Village.

Last time, when they went to the Heishui Mountain Range, Ling Jin was there.

This time, when trouble appeared at Liuli Snow Mountain, he was there too, which is worth noting.

"Team Leader, this Zhao Xiaoyi is also worth noting.

She had a... cohabitation relationship with Lin Chao and is Lin Chao's cousin," a female member said.

A young figure appeared in Xia Group's mind.

At first, he had focused his attention on Lin Chao.

However, he later discovered that Lin Chao was just an Ordinary student; apart from a portion of the Feng Clan Bloodline, there was nothing special about him—he was just an Ordinary college student.

Lin Chao was no longer within their scope of observation.

"Good, Zhao Xiaoyi will also be a focus of attention," Xia Group said.

The discussion ended there.

Below Liuli Snow Mountain, the small town was bustling with activity.

The original residents of the town all wore expressions of joy at this moment.

The strange events on Liuli Snow Mountain had attracted many people to come and visit, to watch.

The foot traffic of the entire town was several times what it was before.

Correspondingly, business had also become much better.

These town residents wished there were even more strange events on Liuli Snow Mountain.

It would be best if one happened every day.

An original resident of the town was gesticulating wildly as he introduced the situation to a streamer.

"A few days ago, I saw that giant snake with my own eyes; it was several hundred meters long. My goodness, I have never seen such a big snake in my life!

It flew in the sky, and the entire town below was covered in its shadow; I even thought it was a dragon!"

Xu Yijun wore a smile on his face as he said to the livestream room: "Brothers, did you see that? The resident of this town said he saw the giant snake with his own eyes, and it was a full several hundred meters long.

A snake this big must have become a spirit!"

In the livestream room, bullet comments were flying everywhere.

"Several hundred meters? What a small snake, it's not even as big as my snake."

"The one above, watch your language; five hundred thousand people are watching."

"Is there really a giant snake on the Snow Mountain?"

"What about Heize's Spear? I just want to see Heize's Spear!"

"The girl above, tone it down a bit!"

"I'm a man and even I want to see it."

Xu Yijun looked at the barrage and continued, "These past few days, I have visited many residents of the small towns.

Although their accounts differ, they all admit to having seen a giant snake."

"Streamer, go to the Snow Mountain and take a look!"

"Right, we want to see a real, authentic giant snake!"

Xu Yijun was wearing a thick down jacket, a smile on his face: "Alright, I will take you all to Liuli Snow Mountain right now!"

He had long since made preparations.

Moreover, he had already contacted a group of streamers at this moment to head to Liuli Snow Mountain together.

Interacting with other streamers could also attract popularity.

Even if he eats from the government's bowl, isn't earning a little extra money good too?

There were five streamers in the group.

Two young beauties and three male streamers, all of whom were outdoor streamers.

The few of them exchanged greetings and headed toward Liuli Snow Mountain together.

Among them, one male streamer spoke up: "I am an atheist; if I really see a flying deity, I will eat shit on the livestream."

Beside him, a female streamer laughed: "Stop trying to scam free food and drinks."

Xu Yijun revealed a smile: "Are you eating it for real or just pretending?"

He knew, after all, that a flying snake had truly appeared.

"I, Lu, act by my word." The male streamer tilted his head; he often liked to say things with gimmicks, which easily increased his popularity.

In the livestream chat, another wave of barrage flooded the screen.

The male streamer smiled.

The group continued walking toward Liuli Snow Mountain.

The originally deserted Liuli Snow Mountain now had quite a few tourists.

"Where is the giant snake? Come out quickly and fight me for three hundred rounds!" the male streamer shouted, an exaggerated expression on his face, looking just like a clown.

Making money, after all, is not shameful.

The other female streamers covered their mouths and giggled.

In the barrage, the screen was also being flooded.

"Giant snake, come out quickly!"

"Heize's Spear, come out quickly!"

"I want to see the Supernatural, not the snow scenery!"

"I told you, this is all marketing; where could there be any Supernatural!"

"If there were the Supernatural, the authorities wouldn't let us know!"

Xu Yijun maintained a calm state of mind throughout.

He knew that upon arriving at Liuli Snow Mountain, there was a high probability they would not encounter any Supernatural events.

After all, according to the information obtained by the investigation of the Xia Group, that giant snake had long since left.

The Six Gates in the sky from before had also vanished without a trace.

"I told you, the videos and photos on the internet are all fake; it's marketing by the scenic area," the male streamer continued, as if exposing the truth.

If this were placed in a world truly without magic, what he said would very likely be the fact.

"And that Heize from the Dahuang Mountain Range back then, it reeks of marketing at first glance, doesn't it?

And that movie 'Heize', it's clearly a movie.

How could such a person exist in the world?

Sacrificing oneself, not for fame or fortune, but to achieve things for the world—it's simply a joke!

If I had strength as great as Heize's, I would definitely make myself Emperor.

Of course, you all say those talents of Heize were one-time use, that he could only use them once and would die after using them.

But even without those talents, Heize's combat power was the best in the world; if he couldn't stop the Wolf Tribe, being a Great General of the Wolf Tribe wouldn't be bad either.

After I die, let the flood come!"

Beside him, Xu Yijun frowned and couldn't help but speak: "If not for Heize, perhaps Daxia would have already fallen, and we wouldn't exist.

Furthermore, in the founding war several hundred years ago, if not for the martyrs who went one after another, using their bodies to build the strongest city wall, where would we be today?

I cannot achieve such noble character, but that does not hinder my reverence for such people.

Isn't it a bit excessive to slander them?"

The male streamer gave a forced smile: "If you manage to sacrifice yourself to achieve others, then I'll believe it.

Anyway, I can't do that, and I don't think anyone can."

Xu Yijun sighed and said nothing more.

This type of person typically lives in their own world.

The most important thing is that he has over a million fans and lives a very good life.

This makes one feel very helpless.

Those who do good may not necessarily be blessed, and those who do evil may not necessarily face retribution; often, they actually live better.

Of course, who should define good and evil anyway?

"Alright, you two, stop arguing," a beautiful streamer spoke up. "Should we go take another look? What if we encounter the giant snake? Or some other Supernatural?"

"If there are other Supernaturals, what I said before still stands: I'll livestream myself eating shit!" The male streamer looked provocatively at Xu Yijun.

His attitude like this drew even more praise in the live chat.

He wasn't afraid of things getting too big; he was only afraid of them being too small and lacking heat.

If a real argument broke out, it would be even more profitable for him.

The group continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, a scream came from the mountaintop.

The male streamer frowned: "What is that person barking about?"

Xu Yijun frowned: "Could someone have gotten into trouble?"

The others also looked over.

This is Snow Mountain, where accidents easily happen.

The group hurried toward the person who was screaming.

"Ah, a giant gorilla, such a huge gorilla, run!"

The shouting came through.

They saw a group of people on Snow Mountain running down at full speed.

After falling, they hurriedly got up and kept running.

Hearing this sound, a bad thought arose in Xu Yijun's heart.

Beside him, the male streamer revealed a smile: "Haha, a giant gorilla.

Being uneducated is truly terrifying!

How could a giant gorilla appear here?"

The male streamer continued to walk forward: "Brothers, follow me to go see the giant gorilla!"

Xu Yijun stopped his footsteps.

From his communicator, the flustered voice of Xia Junji came through: "Run, the giant gorilla of Li Zhu Country is here!"

Xu Yijun stopped his movements; he stared blankly at the peak of Snow Mountain.

A terrifying figure entered his field of vision.

Black fur, a ferocious face, and a massive body.

It stood several zhang tall, like a small mountain.

"Ah!" The other female streamer was also stunned.

And that male streamer also stopped his footsteps; he froze for a moment, then immediately screamed: "Holy shit, there really is one?"

Without any hesitation, he took to his heels and ran.

Because he used too much force, he even pushed the woman beside him to the ground.

In the livestream room, the chat was instantly flooded.

And the next second, an intense feeling of fear and suffocation arrived.

Xu Yijun discovered that he could not breathe.

It was as if the air in this world had been extracted!
