My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Chapter 342 Fairy Love
"speak English."

"I want to sleep with you," the fairy said.

Xue Law: "..."

Dude, did you just yell at your bunch of love-struck idiots and then suddenly find yourself possessed by love-struck brains?

Also, I have no interest in wooden figures, especially wooden figures made of insect-eating trees...

Xue Lu looked at the fairy lady staring straight at him with dead fish eyes, and decided to quickly wrap up this world and then leave.

Tired? Run! Hurry up!

"Don't you really realize it?" After Xue Dinglu turned around, the fairy suddenly said, "Do you still have feelings now? Or rather, can you still empathize with ordinary people?"

Miss Fairy's words startled Xue Dinglu. He turned his head slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

The fairy smiled and said, "You probably haven't realized that with the use of the world's authority and the influx of a large amount of information, you have lost many of your strong emotions compared to a few days ago."

"Or perhaps, your intense emotions have been raised to a higher threshold. Right now, you really are like a god without much emotion, or perhaps just a machine that uses authority."

The fairy's words stunned Xue Dinglu for a moment.

He suddenly realized, it seems... yes!
He didn't show much emotion when Lana's family was arrested, nor when he read about the deaths of Lana's father and the old butler, and even after reading about the Duke's family's unbelievable atrocities, his emotions remained largely unchanged.

He can distinguish between evil and good, and he can also use his power correctly, and he wants to become a partner of justice.

But as the fairy lady said, she seems to have lost her emotions.

That is, there will be no more emotional fluctuations under any circumstances, and all problems will be solved by relying on the most rational judgment and logical thinking.

Is this the price of using the world's authority?

Xue Dinglu looked at his hands and suddenly felt that he was a complete stranger to himself. He even had a feeling that he might have been completely distorted.

Suddenly, he remembered a sentence that the great sage had once told him.

"You are still unaware of the weight of this power."

He looked at himself now, as if he had lived through another world.

When exactly did I lose my human emotions?
Is it the time to merge with the world's consciousness, or the time when a large-scale thundercloud appears in the Demon Realm...?

Or perhaps, it was only during the final battle with the squid man?
Or was it when they were reading the squid tribe's history spanning millions of years?

Xue's Law was forgotten, just as he inadvertently forgot about human emotions.

It was as if the dragon slayer had become the dragon himself. Xue suddenly understood why the squid people had so much amazing wisdom, so many evil plans and inconceivable ideas and fun that turned into humans and heroic spirits.

Because after losing feelings, you need something else to fill your heart.

"So, my God, have you finally realized it?" The fairy smiled, looking at the dazed Xue Dinglu, and finally said what she had been wanting to say, "When I first met you, you were a normal person. Although you were a little warm on the outside but cold on the inside, you still had normal human emotions and were able to empathize with others."

"At that time, you will be angry because of what happened to us, happy that your conjectures have been confirmed, and you will also feel genuine joy and surprise at the blooming flowers, the clear sky, and the magical spirit summoning spell."

"But now, you have almost lost that ability."

The fairy lady slowly picked up a flower, but when she placed it in front of Xue Dinglu, the flower slowly withered and turned into dust, leaving no trace.

It was drowned by the high concentration of spiritual energy because it couldn't withstand such an intensity.

"The reason why fairies, this fantastical race, are so love-obsessed is because we are a race that lives for 'love.' We are born with the ability to feel love, understand love, and practice love..." She looked at Xue Dinglu and said slowly.

“But God, in my perception you are like the deepest ice at the bottom of the ocean. Although I can still feel a little ‘love,’ I think if you leave like this, I will regret it for the rest of my life.”

“Because you became like this because of us.” Her words were earnest. “So now, it is my turn to save you. At the very least, I want to help you find the love you’ve lost.”

Despite Xue's rational logic and analytical judgment, the reason she said so much was simply that she wanted to sleep with him, and she found so many reasonable excuses for this action before doing so.

However, when he saw his own hands, Xue Dinglu suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity...

He recalled things that stirred his emotions, whether it was the rampaging Lich King, Zeus who transformed the world, or the insectoids that corrupted and slaughtered the entire world...

Anger, come out here!
However, there wasn't much anger, only a rational analysis and logical diagnosis that judged these behaviors as "evil".

He was suddenly horrified to discover that he could no longer even muster the will to be angry.

"But I'm sorry, I have more important things to do," Xue Dinglu said expressionlessly.

He planned to use a massive rainstorm to spread the collected genetic diversity throughout the world and return the world's authority to itself, no longer occupying its power.

He felt he needed to rest, and perhaps after a few days, everything would be alright.

With that thought in mind, Xue prepared to leave.

"Do you want to run away?" she asked again.

Xue Dinglu stopped in his tracks.

"You've realized you're about to become a dragon, but are you still running away? Are you running away from the fact that you've become a dragon, or are you denying your former self? The dreams you had as a child?" she said, staring intently at Xue Dinglu.

Even though its body was a wooden doll made of an insect-eating tree, after being possessed by a heroic spirit, its beautiful, fairy-like eyes kept staring at Xue Luding, as if trying to see into his heart.
"My childhood dream?" Xue Luding murmured.

"You survived that forest fire, but when you returned, you were no longer the boy you once were." The fairy said something that made Xue Dinglu's pupils shrink.

This was the first time since he had seized power over the world that his emotions had fluctuated so drastically.

"How did you know?" Xue Dinglu asked silently, his emotions rising and falling quickly.

"My lord, didn't I tell you? Fairies are a race that feeds on 'love,' so yesterday, I dreamt of parts of your past." She smiled, stepping forward as if wanting to get a little closer.
"This is the nature of us fairies, and it is our innate talent."

"A fairy...?" Xue Dinglu said in silence, but still made up his mind. "But Miss Fairy, I'm still sorry. I still have many things I haven't had time to do, as well as my hometown and home. I will slowly get out of this shadow. At the same time, I am very grateful for your reminder."

He replied silently, and in the end, he still rejected the fairy's love.

"I will wait for you." However, this is what the wicked fairy queen, who is most opposed to love in the book and is determined to separate the male and female protagonists, said.

Xue's law remained silent.

"Whether it's a hundred years or a thousand years, I will still wait for you, and I will make you fall in love with me." At this moment, she was so proud that she seemed to be just like the arrogant fairy queen in the book, saying, "I, Fairy Queen Silver Edwards, will spend the rest of my life helping you find 'love' again."

"This is my compensation to the world for what it has given me, the love of a god. I believe I can do it, and even after I die, you will always remember me."

She smiled, and although her body was still made of wood, for some reason, this intense emotion seemed to have really left him somewhat at a loss.

Is feeling lost and helpless an emotion?

Xue's law was forgotten, just as he had forgotten anger.

……

A day-long downpour blanketed the entire world.

Both the human and demon realms were completely hidden in the torrential rain. Countless people came to the rain and respectfully opened their arms.

The sound of raindrops seemed to carry away the gloom of the world. Similarly, unbeknownst to everyone, tens of thousands of genetic diversity were scattered and rearranged, and integrated into their bodies through the blood of the curse.

Therefore, genetic diseases have been largely resolved worldwide, unless one is extremely unlucky, such as two people in love who happen to have the same genetic combination, in which case there is really no way to prevent them from getting genetic diseases.

Xue Dinglu silently collected all the cursed blood in the rain.

Is avoidance an emotion?

Xue's Law also forgot that the world's authority is a pseudo-omniscient and omnipotent power, the strength of which is unknown to many, including himself.

He was completely unaware of the price of such great power.

Just like he could never understand why the apostles couldn't grasp the preciousness of life.

Perhaps now he understands a little better, but he would rather not have this understanding at all.

If only the teacher were here, he would surely have countless ways to help me get rid of this abnormal mental state.

Xue's Law thought this way.

"I'm sorry, but this authority is returned to you. I hope that when I come next time, you will have regained a completely new consciousness." Xue Dinglu looked at the ruling body of this world.

Or, it could be called a global power complex.

When I come back next time, a completely new world consciousness may have been born here. Similarly, under 5332's supervision, his promise to attend Sundays for eight consecutive days should also be fulfilled.

And then there's the fairy lady who lusts after her own body...

Perhaps she will give up, after all, compared to her being made of wood, Xue Luding is only human in body, but her heart is harder than the wood of the divine tree.

All the power in the world has been returned to the ruling body.

He slashed out a cross-shaped portal with his spatial blade and left this world without looking back.

Returning to his village, Xue Luding felt the warmth of his hometown. The early autumn sun was still scorching. He looked at the sun in the sky and the familiar big yellow dog at the entrance of his village, and felt as if he had been transported to another world.

Just a few days later, he even felt like he hadn't been home for years.

In the space of consciousness, a large amount of information flooded in in an instant.

[Blessing - Squid Killer (Rank B): Greatly suppresses and deters any deep-sea race, race that betrays its allies, or race that cruelly manipulates and slaughters others, and can activate the second-stage domain "Oil Refinery".]

[Blessing - Fairy Love (B+): This is the sincere love of the fairy race for you. You will receive the fairy's blessing and gain initial favorability from all races similar to fairies. Furthermore, when you are about to lose your emotions, she will always protect your last remaining feeling.]

【Blessing - World's Love (S-rank): Simply a collection of emotions from numerous worlds towards you. From this point on, the initial favorability of all unfamiliar worlds towards you will increase by 50%.】

【Authority - Self-Destroyer (Rank E): A branch of nihilistic authority, capable of selectively eliminating the thoughts of others, causing them to fall into a state of nihilistic self-destruction for a short period of time. Continuing to delve deeper into nihilism will grant even stronger power and authority.

Warning: Nihilism is one of the most dangerous powers. Do not approach! Do not approach! Do not approach! 】 Xue Dinglu was stunned for a moment as four passive protections were applied to him in a row.

He could understand the blessing of the Squid Killer, just like the "Noble Killer" he had received before, as proof of his great achievements.

He hadn't expected "love of fairies" and "love of the world" at all. Could these things really be considered blessings?

And lastly, this is different from protection, authority?

A hollow authority? He was warned three times in a row.

"Information module, do you have any records about the void authority?" Xue Dinglu asked slowly, pointing to the panel.

【searching……】

[Records exist that Mr. Joshua once possessed the power of nothingness, and was classified as (Self-Destroyer B+).]

So, the old man once possessed this power too.

Perhaps the cursed blood itself originates from this power.

Xue's Law pondered for a while, but unable to figure out why it was used for this purpose, he gave up on thinking about it.

For him now, he doesn't deliberately think about these things. He just comes to his own door and imagines what kind of smile he used to have when he came home. He then puts on the same smile with the same curve on his own lips. Every facial feature and muscle is exactly the same as his former self.

He pushed open the door, smiled, and said, "I'm back!"

……

Meanwhile, in the Great Expedition World, several days later, in the "Fairy Forest".

On the outskirts of this royal capital, a temple called "Fairy Forest" has appeared for some unknown reason.

It is said that the place enshrines the god who once saved the world, and his most original form.

It is said that no one is allowed to enter this place. Even if a traveler accidentally wanders in, he will leave after circling around. Over time, this place has become an urban legend. Some say it is a relic left by the gods, while others say it is just a physical manifestation of that great expedition.

However, this urban legend was quickly overshadowed by the terrifying yield of the divine crop that the prince obtained—nearly 10,000 catties per mu.

Today, the fairy maiden in the temple, dressed in an outfit that combined elements of a shrine maiden's attire and traditional fairy clothing, silently cleaned the temple where she was all alone.

An uninvited guest arrived—Lana. She had become the most dazzling girl in the empire, blessed with the titles of Great Expedition and God's Host. Even the newly enthroned king treated her with utmost respect.

However, she was slightly taken aback when she saw the spotless temple today.

"Did you really fall in love with a god who has lost his emotions? And your clothes and architecture..." Lana stared blankly at the clothes and architectural style that clearly did not belong to this world.

It doesn't seem like the attire of the fairy race in fantasy, since this fairy lady's clothes when she first arrived in this world should be the traditional attire of their fairy race.

This outfit now looks more like something from another world.

“I saw it in his memory, and it was one of his favorite outfits, so I copied it and made a set, and built this temple.” The fairy said, turning around in front of her acquaintance, “After all, in his world, this outfit also has the meaning of ‘divine bride’.”

"Tsk..." Lana clicked her tongue, then frowned slightly.

She hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, and after a long while, she finally complained, "You're acting like your late husband is dead, and you're wearing your old wedding dress on your wedding anniversary to commemorate him."

"But actually you have no relation at all. You just labeled yourself a 'widow' without thinking."

She made a sarcastic remark, her words quite sharp, but the fairy lady wasn't annoyed.

She seemed to continue tending to the statue, as if she were tidying up her deceased husband's clothes, and said, "The world seems to have developed a basic consciousness. Do you know what it calls me?"

"Huh?" Lana was stunned.

“He called me Mom and told me to go find Dad,” the fairy named “Silver” continued. With just this one sentence, she understood that her future seemed to be “guaranteed.”

After all, the future that the world can see is certainly farther than that of herself, and she seems to be able to guess the future and grasp it through the information from this world consciousness.

It'll be silver!
This is a declaration of victory bestowed by the world's consciousness.

"Huh?" Lana was completely stunned, and the next moment she lost her composure.

She stared blankly at the temple, which was very different from the temples in other parts of the empire. And the gods here… She thought of Xue Luding again, and blurted out, “Do you have similar clothes? Never mind, your size is too big for me. Can you make one for me?”

"Hmm..." the fairy hummed softly, making a cute yet provocative sound.

“I have a younger sister who is very grateful to Lord Xue…” Lana said, turning her head to the side.

"Then I'll make two for you. I remember your sister's size is about the same as yours, right?"

"Long-winded!"

This once peaceful temple seems unusually lively today.

……

Earth, Xuejiaqiao Village, Jiangcheng.

There was no one in the house. Neither Aunt, Fafnir, nor the two youngest daughters, nor Siam and White Crow were there.

It's daytime now; perhaps they're out having fun, or perhaps they're all busy with their own things.

Xue Dinglu didn't care. He only breathed a sigh of relief after lying on his own bed.

Everything ended perfectly. The Ninth Apostle's clan was wiped out, the problem of reproduction was solved, the problem of genetic diseases was eliminated, the Squid Cult was added to the purge list, and the power of the world was perfectly recovered and finally returned to the world consciousness.

Even the deceased old count and his old butler were given the time it would have taken to become heroic spirits, equivalent to their normal lifespans.

Everything ended smoothly, everyone was happy, and a world where no good person was hurt was achieved.

The only price to pay was one's own emotions.

Actually, this thing doesn't seem to have much impact on his life. He used to be an emotionally detached person, and he only needed to act according to his old temper and react accordingly to the corresponding problems.

After all, he can now easily control every muscle and every cell through the cursed blood, and perfectly replicate the facial expressions of the nerves when feeling the corresponding emotions.

He is confident that he can now express his emotions in a more nuanced way than before.

Thinking this, Xue Dinglu slowly drifted off to sleep.

In fact, he hadn't rested or closed his eyes for four consecutive days.

It seemed as if I was rushing headlong down an inhuman path, unable to stop.

Thinking this, even though it was still around 10 a.m., the most beautiful time of morning, Xue Ding still decided to take a nap and said, "Good night."

Then I turned on the air conditioner, wrapped myself in a blanket, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

……

The next moment, we were in Mother Earth's territory.

Xue Daoli shrugged and asked, "What's up, Mom?"

And he flashed what he considered a very appropriate smile.

"How did you get this into such a state?" The Earth consciousness seemed to express anxiety and confusion in its tone.

"Yeah, it was a little accident, but it's nothing serious. I feel great now."

"You're such a jerk!" Little did anyone know that Earth's consciousness would unleash a barrage of the simplest form of verbal abuse.

This reaction surprised Xue Dinglu for a moment, and then he was left with only doubt.

"What exactly happened?" the World Consciousness asked directly.

Xue Dinglu did not hide anything and told the whole story of how he obtained the right to breed the four evil gods, then used the four evil gods to replace the vacant breeding authority in that world, and then how he became the "proxy world consciousness" through the struggle for authority.

Then, Earth's consciousness fell silent.

First, he knew where the missing breeding rights had gone; second, ...

"This is not just the corruption of authority, but also your own anger, desires, cunning, sloth... all thrown away! And the control of the world's authority only makes you worse off your problems!" At this moment, the Earth consciousness felt that it was the first time it had ever wanted to hit someone.

This feeling is as if a child has gone out and come home with half of their kidneys gone, half of their corneas gone, plus half of their lungs and half of their stomach missing.

Xue Dinglu realized that the power was not lost when using the world's authority, but rather it had been gradually lost since the birth of the four evil gods.

It may take a long time before one gradually discovers this emotional deficiency, but with the vast amount of information from the world's authorities, this problem is magnified exponentially.

It's like losing half of your kidneys, eyes, lungs, and stomach, and then going through a marathon-like run, which completely caused the remaining half of your organs to start smoking.

"So that's how it is. I didn't lose emotions, I only lost the four great sins. Isn't that a good thing? Why do some people say I lost love? All I lost was desire, didn't I?" Xue Ding rationally analyzed his situation.

"Good thing my ass! You can't even analyze things rationally!" The Earth Consciousness was furious. Seeing Xue Law still thinking about how to analyze how to cure its illness, it almost had the urge to personally beat him up.

"Isn't it a good thing that I've already eliminated four of my seven deadly sins?" Xue asked doubtfully.

"You...it seems I need to use some serious tactics. I really need to control you properly." Mom's tone was quick and decisive, with a sense of swift and efficient action.

"Oh, how do you control it?" Xue asked, puzzled.

Soon, a prompt appeared on the panel left by the Great Sage.

[Task 1: Fall in love within three days]

[Failure Penalty: Soul Shock for 3 hours. Note: Please complete the quest; the Soul Shock will bring you the purest pain and punishment.]

Xue Law: “?”
