Chapter 285: It’s the Emperor?! (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, his thoughts changed instantly. Impossible!
Just by listening to Wang Yue’s recount, he could build an image of a supreme, cold, and ruthless emperor who could decide the life and death of millions of people in his mind.
However, when he heard the boy’s voice now, it was trembling in fear. There was no domineering aura at all. It did not match the image of the emperor he heard.
The Sun Burning True Flame in his hand immediately burned even more fiercely. “You dare to lie to me?!”
“I, I, I… I don’t know!”
The voice was immediately shocked. Like a frightened child, it started chattering non-stop.
According to the living being in the jade statue, it had just woken up not long ago and realized that it had fallen to the bottom of the abyss. It could not remember anything and knew nothing. It was as if it had jumped out of a stone. It was completely blank. It did not even know what it was.
“I was scared to death! The bottom of the lake was pitch-black. I couldn’t see anything. There’s nothing!
“Brother, can you imagine the kind of world where you suddenly wake up and see that kind of scene?
“In any case, 1 was so frightened that my soul left me!
“Hurry up and swim up from the water. Only when you reach the surface do you realize that it’s also fucking dark on the surface! It’s so fucking dark!”
His voice was like a child’s, but the tone of the jade statue was extremely mature. Moreover, it was so friendly that it did not seem like a person who had just been born and had a blank understanding of the world.
The voice trembled and continued, “I was really scared to death. But before 1 could circle around a few times, I suddenly realized that there was an earthquake!
“The entire lake water was shaking!
“I was so frightened that 1 quickly went to the bottom of the lake again and found a place to hide. I thought I was going to be buried deep underground from now on!”
This should be the time when the terrifying strange person destroyed the surroundings.
“Later on, I was hiding and I saw you!”
His voice suddenly became flattering. “Brother, you don’t know. When 1 saw you back then, I was so excited that I almost cried!
“Oh, 1 don’t have eyes.
“But it doesn’t stop me from being excited!
“If I wasn’t worried about scaring you, I would have jumped out immediately and hugged your thigh. Please take me away!”
As he spoke, the jade figurine leaned its head against Lin Yan’s finger and rubbed it up and down excitedly to express its excitement.
Lin Yan frowned and spat out the force in his palm, knocking it on the head. He quietly retracted his finger.
The jade figurine did not mind. It did not seem to have a normal sense of pain. Instead, it continued, “You know what happens next. I swam carefully to the path you had to pass because I wanted to hug your thigh. Please take me out of this godforsaken place!
“1 really didn’t mean to lie to you. It’s just that I’m really afraid of scaring you with my current appearance!”
After hearing all of its nagging, Lin Yan’s eyes did not move. He only asked coldly, “I have a few questions. First, how do you send the voice into my mind to communicate with me?”
The voice quickly replied, “This is a strange technique called Mind Connection. As long as I come into contact with your body, I can communicate with you!” Mind Connection?
Lin Yan couldn’t help but think of Wang Yue’s Illusionary Flower and Moon Technique. It seemed that both of them were a power that targeted the mind and were completely different from the current martial arts.
While the jade statue was talking to itself, he suddenly let go of the jade statue. Indeed, the voice in his mind immediately disappeared.
Then, he grabbed the jade statue and the voice appeared again.
It seemed that the jade statue was right.
“Then why didn’t you communicate with me previously? Now that you’re in danger, you communicated with me with ill intentions!”
“No, no, no! I have a good heart!
“The reason why I didn’t communicate previously was completely because 1 don’t know this Mind Connection Technique! I was also threatened by you just now… Ahem, ahem, it was a friendly negotiation. In a moment of desperation, 1 suddenly remembered and naturally used it!”
He suddenly remembered?
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. “You clearly said that you don’t know anything.
Then why did you say just now that you were a natural emperor and the supreme ruler of Fan Nation?”
“This… I don’t know either! When you asked me just now, this thought naturally appeared in my mind. Actually, 1 don’t know if this is true or not. Who am I?!”
Lin Yan held the jade statue tightly, his eyes flickering.
This jade statue was strange. What he said was also incoherent and did not make sense at all. However, such a ridiculous explanation was more likely to be true.
Most importantly, this jade statue was made of the same material as Xiaozhi’s jade statue…
Lin Yan took out Xiaozhi’s jade statue and asked coldly, “Can you see it?”
The jade statue nodded repeatedly, but its head did not look like a head.
“This jade statue is made of the same material as yours. Do you recognize it or remember what it is?”
The Spirit-Snatching Demonic Flame shone over. The jade statue probed its severely damaged head. The cracks all over its body moved as it looked at the jade statue.
“Eh? This jade statue…”
Lin Yan’s heart tightened. “You know?!”
“This jade statue… is so beautiful! If it grows up and becomes my secondary consort when she’s 13 or 14 years old, it will be very wonderful!”
Lin Yan:”…”
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t hit me, don’t hit me! I was wrong, I was wrong! Hot, hot, hot! Spare me, Big Brother!”
After an exciting beating, the gloom on Lin Yan’s face still did not fade.
Looking at the jade statue in his hand, he wished he could crush it into pieces.
However, when he thought of Xiaozhi’s situation, he could only suppress the unhappiness in his heart. “Speak! What exactly is going on with this jade statue?!”
“This… Big Brother, 1 really don’t know!”
“Can’t you suddenly remember?”
“I, I can’t control myself. It’s true, it’s true! I’m not lying to you, it’s true! It’s burning me to death, burning me to death! Brother, please spare me!”
The jade statue started begging for mercy again.
This weak and cowardly personality was miles away from the emperor that Wang Yue mentioned. They were definitely not comparable.
It seemed that he was probably spouting nonsense when he said that he was the Supreme Emperor just now. Or perhaps his memory was wrong and he had accidentally mistaken someone else’s identity for himself.
From the looks of it, this jade statue was clearly not simple. It seemed to have forgotten everything, but it could remember something at certain critical moments.
Either the jade statue was hiding something, or it had suffered from amnesia or some other illness.
Seeing that he really couldn’t figure out Xiaozhi’s situation from the jade statue, Lin Yan could only give up for the time being. He said coldly, “I can bring you out, but it’s not free.”
“Big Brother, tell me! As long as I can help you, 1 will definitely help you!”
“Teach me the Mind Connection Technique!”
“All, this…”
The jade statue seemed to hesitate for a moment, but in the next moment, under the threat of the Sun Burning True Flame, it immediately slid to its knees. “1 promise to teach you! Immediately! 1 like to teach people the most!”
Lin Yan naturally did not trust the jade statue and still held it in his hand.
Although he had hammered and threatened it with the Sun Burning True Flame just now, the jade statue only dimmed a little, but it was not injured much.
“Tell me as we walk…”
Since the Mind Connection Technique could make the jade statue talk to him from afar, could it also make him talk to Xiaozhi?
This was the reason why Lin Yan was eager to learn Mind Connection from him.
The jade statue naturally didn’t dare to be negligent. It began to slowly explain in Lin Yan’s mind. “Mind Connection is a mental mystic technique. Humans have the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit. As for Mind Connection, it uses your mental power to directly transmit what you want to say to achieve the goal of communicating directly with people…”
“Wait, you’re not human. Where did you get the three treasures?”
Lin Yan suddenly interrupted.
The jade statue was stunned. “That’s right. I’m not human. How can 1 have the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit? How can I use the Mind Connection Technique?”
He actually started to mutter, “Who am i?”, “Am I a human or a ghost?”, “What am i?”, “I’m not a thing…”
All sorts of strange things..
