The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

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 goes out and comes home to find that half of their kidneys, half of their corneas, half of their lungs, and half of their stomach are gone.

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's Law: "?"

Chapter 343 The End of the Great Expedition, The Death Order Given to Lao Xue

"I'm back!" The door opened, and Little Dragon Girl pounced on the sofa and started rolling around on it.

She was exhausted after walking all day. The whole family came out today to buy seeds, fish fry, shrimp fry, chickens, ducks and other things for Baiya and Siam.

At this moment, several large boxes outside the house were carefully packed with these things. It was estimated that at least half of them would die after arriving in that world, but there was nothing that could be done. These seedlings were extremely fragile to begin with, and they might die today because you stepped into the house with your left foot and were in a bad mood.

"Hmm?" The observant Fafnir noticed something amiss in the room, and then she asked, "Has the teacher gone home?"

"They should be back by now." Auntie glanced at the shoe rack, then put the groceries for dinner into the refrigerator.

Fafnir put down the flowerpot she was holding, which contained a little flower fairy. She had planted herself entirely in the soil of the flowerpot, with only her head sticking out. She was fast asleep at the moment.

Of course, this is what they see. To ordinary people, the flowerpot contains just an ordinary cactus.

Fafnir placed the flowerpot by the window so she could bask in the last rays of the setting sun and picked up the watering can.

The little flower fairy, who was still fast asleep in the flowerpot, seemed to sense the water. She opened her mouth and let the water from the spray bottle pour onto her face and the soil beside her. After the watering was finished, she made a few more "gurgling" sounds, still not satisfied, and continued to sleep in the moist soil.

This little one's living habits are completely different from others. Unless you forcibly pull her out and use a physical method to wake her up, she can sleep in the flowerpot for 24 hours a day until there is no water or the soil clumps together, then she will wake up.

After all, plants mostly perceive time in terms of seasons, and their inertia regarding time is even more exaggerated than that of elves.

After watering the little girl, Fafnir changed her shoes and stomped upstairs. She wanted to call Xue Lude and proudly tell him about her exam results.

She successfully entered the University of Science and Technology of China through the adult college entrance examination and achieved a score of 542, which far exceeded her expectations.

Even though the adult college entrance examination papers are very simple, roughly equivalent to the National Paper III, or even less difficult, regular candidates can easily achieve exaggerated scores.

However, this exam is designed for people who have been working in society for several years or have never been to school, so it is a very difficult exam for them.

Furthermore, Fafnir only had a little over a month to study seriously.

She arrived at Xue Dinglu's room and gently knocked on the door. There was no response. Just as Fafnir was wondering what was going on, she turned the doorknob and found that it wasn't locked. She then saw Xue Dinglu sitting quietly inside.

"Um... Teacher?" Fafnir was taken aback. For some reason, she suddenly felt that something about her teacher had changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what the problem was.

But in any case, a very bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart.

"Yes, is there something you need?" Xue Dinglu asked calmly.

"Teacher, what... happened?" Fafnir felt the unease growing stronger, as if it was about to engulf Xue's law.

She had initially approached the situation with the mindset of a child showing off their exam results to their parents, but seeing Xue Dinglu's expression, she felt an indescribable unease.

"No, it's nothing, just a minor problem. I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest." Xue Dinglu stood up, put on a coat, and forced a smile that he thought was exactly the same as before. "Let's go."

Fafnir remained silent this time, simply following behind Xue Dinglu in quietude. But for some reason, she felt her heart pounding rapidly—not the fluttering kind of heartbeat, but rather…

fear!

It was like the fear that the teacher was about to leave you forever, and that indescribable sense of unease...

The teacher's smile is exactly the same as before, so why does it feel so strange?

She didn't understand, but her intuition alone made her realize that something was wrong.

When Xue Daolu entered the living room, Xiaolongniang immediately delivered her usual rocket headbutt, this time hitting him squarely on the ribs. Xue Daolu's lips twitched for a moment; it hurt, after all, the pain receptors hadn't been eliminated yet.

Moreover, the Little Dragon Girl had horns, and those newly sprouted horns almost crushed his ribs.

However, Little Dragon Girl seemed to sense something was wrong. She tilted her head back, staring blankly at Xue Dinglu with her golden eyes that concealed a chibi lion, and asked, "Is Daddy in a bad mood?"

"No, Dad, I'm very happy." Xue Dinglu said, and smiled again.

"You're kidding, right? Your heartbeat is perfectly normal. You don't look happy at all," Little Dragon Girl complained.

Xue's Law continued to control the cursed blood, causing the heart rate to reach approximately 90 beats per minute.

"You're cheating!" Little Dragon Girl continued to wriggle restlessly in her arms, but she never thought of herself as a 1.6-meter-tall girl; she still acted like a child, being spoiled.

After all, her actual age is no more than 1 year old. Normal one-year-old children are still crawling on the ground, but she has already learned pinyin and basic letters.

As for the little fairy who was still fast asleep, Xue Daolu did not disturb her. After learning that the family had gone out to buy seeds and fish fry for Bai Ya and the others, Xue Daolu slowly walked out of the door and saw the two little girls still sorting out the goods.

"Are you planning to leave today?" Xue Dinglu asked.

After all, the more fish and shrimp fry you leave, the more likely they are to die, so it's best to bring them home and raise them as soon as you buy them.

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, sir." Bai Ya pulled Siam to bow to Xue Luding, and Xue Luding immediately manipulated the cursed blood to modify these plants and animals.

The seeds are mostly hybrids. If the seeds are not selected, the yield will probably drop sharply after a few generations. But as long as hybridization is learned, these seeds are enough to replicate half the yield of most vegetables in that world.

Actually, let's not even talk about half. As long as White Crow's hybridization can make the subsequent seeds reach a quarter of the original species, plus the setting of constant beatings in that world, these plants can be replicated no matter what.

As for how to select seeds and how to hybridize, Bai Ya is probably much more familiar with that than I am. I've even forgotten a rough outline of Mendel's hybridization formula, so I'm not exactly a know-it-all.

As for the animals, one-third had already died, and nearly one-tenth more died after being modified by Xue's cursed blood.

"Let's get them there quickly. I suspect they'll suffocate if we leave them any longer," Xue Dinglu said.

After the two little ones expressed their gratitude, Xue Dinglu opened the portal. The two returned to their hometown with their goods and the knowledge they had learned from the other world. Their dream was to replicate all the delicacies on Earth in their hometown.

Not only do they want to be full, but they also want to eat well and have a wide variety of dishes. This is the dream of two little girls who are studying agronomy and animal husbandry.

Xue's Law will also bless them, after all, their behavior is like a Prometheus in another world. These plants and animals can improve the food variety in their world. Perhaps next time Xue's Law goes there, he won't have to eat potatoes every day, but will be able to taste authentic fried shrimp and sweet and sour pork.

"Goodbye! Make good use of your knowledge," Xue said.

"Goodbye, sir! Until we meet again!" The two little ones' last voices rang out before they disappeared into the portal.

Two more people have fulfilled their dreams; they may truly achieve the title of "God of Cookery" in another world.

Xue Law was also very curious about what kind of taste those plants and animals raised in a high-concentration magical environment would have.

……

After finishing his work with the two little ones, Xue Dinglu returned home safely, just in time for dinner.

As home-style dishes were served, the carefree Little Dragon Girl was already drooling. As for the Little Flower Fairy who had just woken up, she rubbed her eyes, still covered in mud, and was told by Xue Luding to take a bath before being served.

"Wow, that's not fair! How did it get so dirty? Let me tell you, this soil is so soft and easy to use!" the little fairy muttered, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Dad, is something wrong with your health? Is your injury serious?"

Xue's Law: "?"
