Indeed, when Zhu Yingying blew that breath over, Xia Yuanfang was the first to feel the oppressive and tense feeling around her disappear. She felt as if she had inhaled pure oxygen, her mind suddenly Clear-Minded, and her spirit was bright.
Aunt Chen also rubbed her temples and said, "It's true! I haven't been in a good mood these past few days, and I haven't been feeling well. I was even thinking of using a few Fei Fei hairs for Dispelling..."
Only San Zong didn't feel anything, but still politely said, "Thank you, Yingying!"
Xia Yuanfang pondered Zhu Yingying's words and suddenly said, "What you saw, is it these things?"
As she spoke, she pulled out a virtual display screen and zoomed in on a picture for everyone to see.
It was indeed a mass of black substance, dense and packed, making people's trypophobia act up.
Zhu Yingying opened her mouth in surprise: "It's these things! Xia Gugu, can you see them too?!"
Xia Yuanfang said with emotion, "I need to use a high-powered electronic pathological microscope to see these things."
"Congratulations, Yingying. Your Ability is very effective. What you see is a type of microorganism that can only be seen with a high-powered electronic pathological microscope."
"This microorganism is between a virus and a bacterium."
"It can cause lesions in certain parts of the human brain, and these lesions manifest as symptoms of Depression."
Xia Chujian was surprised and said, "Aunt, isn't Depression a mental illness? Does it also have something to do with certain parts of the brain?!"
Xia Yuanfang said, "As long as it can be diagnosed as a disease, it is related to the human body."
"Because the material basis determines the superstructure."
"The material basis of mental illness is the brain."
"The manifestation of mental illness is the superstructure."
"Only when certain parts of the brain become diseased will people develop various types of mental illnesses."
"Depression is one of them."
"In other words, Depression is caused by lesions in certain parts of the brain, which cause the human body to lose its ability to self-regulate emotions, thus forming pathological Depression."
"Scientists in the Beichen Empire have already discovered this microorganism that causes Depression."
"Like bacteria and viruses, it can take advantage of human weakness and reside in specific parts of the brain, thereby causing the human body to lose its ability to regulate emotions."
"For example, when we encounter setbacks, we all say, it will pass, don't dwell on it, don't keep thinking about it."
"Then the corresponding parts of the human brain will activate a purification function to help eliminate the negative impact of setbacks on emotions."
"Then many people are no longer affected by the emotions of the setback period, which is commonly known as, it will pass."
"But there are also some people whose brains are infected with this microorganism and cannot perform their proper functions."
"It's like our heart not supplying blood, or our lungs not being able to breathe, we know there's something wrong with our body."
"And these parts of the brain that regulate emotions have only been gradually observed in recent years with the improvement of high-powered electronic pathological microscope technology."
"Currently, the pathological origin of mental illnesses such as Depression has been determined, but there are no particularly good methods for treatment."
"Yingying's Ability is really amazing!"
Xia Chujian was also very happy and said, "Yingying, you can open a clinic to treat people!"
Zhu Yingying shyly shook her head and said softly, "My Dispelling can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."
Xia Yuanfang said thoughtfully, "You mean, you can dispel these microorganisms before they invade the brain. But once they enter the brain, you can't dispel them, right?"
Zhu Yingying nodded: "I'm not that powerful yet. Currently, I can see you being surrounded by those black substances, so I'm helping you dispel them. You should feel a lot more relaxed."
Xia Yuanfang nodded appreciatively: "You're like Dispelling the source of infection. Although you can't dispel the black microorganisms that have already invaded the brain, because there is no constant replenishment from the outside, the brain's purification burden will not be increased. In time, those black substances can still be worn away."
Aunt Chen said, "Our Hui Hui Clan originally has the ability to relieve worries. You have tasted the effect of Fei Fei hair. I think it's very suitable for Yingying to develop this Ability, and it should continue to evolve in the future."
Xia Chujian remembered Zhu Yingying saying that she, Wu Fu, and Little Chubby Bird all seemed to have a layer of "curtain" outside their bodies, and asked curiously, "Then why aren't Wu Fu, Little Chubby Bird, and I affected by these black substances? Is it because of the curtain you mentioned?"
Zhu Yingying nodded: "I don't know what that is, but in my eyes, it looks like a layer of curtain, wrapping you inside."
"Those black substances cannot penetrate this layer of curtain to infect you at all."
Xia Chujian smiled: "I understand why I rarely have negative emotions! It must be because I am not invaded by these black substances! My brain is functioning normally, and even if I am unhappy, it will soon be worn away!"
"Oh my, it's so important to be healthy! Good health is the foundation of everything!"
Xia Chujian patted her arm. "... Awesome!"
Everyone laughed together.
Xia Chujian then stroked Wu Fu's round head and said, "Wu Fu is so cute because he doesn't have negative emotions. You see, he rarely even cries!"
Wu Fu frowned, wanting to express his unhappiness.
But seeing Xia Chujian's smiling, curved eyebrows, he couldn't help but smile too, saying in a cute voice, "Wu Fu will protect Sister! Wu Fu wants Sister to be happy!"
Little Chubby Bird glanced back at Wu Fu, its tiny, almost invisible black bird eyes actually rolling in disdain.
Xia Chujian noticed it and marveled inwardly.
But she didn't expose it. She scooped up Si Xi with her left hand and A Wù with her right, showing them to Zhu Yingying. "What about them? Do they have a 'screen' or not?"
Zhu Yingying only glanced at them before nodding. "Yes, they are also unaffected by the black microorganisms."
Xia Chujian smiled. "That's great! But Small Dog wouldn't get Depression anyway, right?"
"Have you ever seen a depressed Small Dog?"
Everyone: "..."
Then they all burst into laughter.
Even Zhu Yingying laughed so hard she leaned back and forth.
Dinner ended in an exceptionally cheerful atmosphere.
Zhu Yingying said, "Chujian, since you came back, everyone has laughed more in these two days than in the previous eight weeks!"
Xia Chujian waved her hand triumphantly. "So, I am everyone's 'screen'! I will protect you all and not let you be invaded by any bad things!"
She knew she was bragging, but her family took it seriously.
San Zong said emotionally, "Thank you for Young Lord's protection! San Zong will definitely grow more delicious food and raise delicious animals to provide Young Lord with the best supplies!"
Xia Chujian gave San Zong a thumbs up. "... My San Zong is the best! Keep it up!"
Aunt Chen wiped away tears and said, "Chujian, you are already protecting us. Without you, Yingying and I might not even be in this world anymore..."
Zhu Yingying didn't want to be as sentimental as her mother, but remembering how Xia Chujian had sheltered them and provided them with housing and food, she also said, "Chujian, I won't let any black substance invade you either!"
Wu Fu, in his Children's High-Back Chair, reached out directly to Xia Chujian and said seriously, "Sister saved Wu Fu! Sister is so good at shooting!"
Xia Chujian: "..."
If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all!
She glared at Wu Fu. He really had to bring up that sore spot.
Xia Yuanfang had also been thinking of saying something emotional, but when she thought about how skilled Xia Chujian was with guns, she got another headache. Her mouth twitched, and she said, "Don't spoil Chujian too much. She helped a little, but you all helped Chujian and me too. We are all the same."
As Xia Yuanfang spoke, she saw Little Chubby Bird fly onto Xia Chujian's shoulder, its tiny black bean-like bird eyes seeming to glare at her.
Xia Yuanfang: "..."
Was she seeing things?
A bird rolling its eyes? By the time she looked closer, Little Chubby Bird had already closed its little bird eyes like an old sage, perching on Xia Chujian's shoulder to rest.
Small Dog and Teacup Dog in Xia Chujian's arms were very busy, acting cute in Xia Chujian's arms while secretly trying to kick each other out of Xia Chujian's arms.
Teacup Dog was too small to compete with the sturdy Small Si Xi. Seeing that it was about to be overturned, it yipped and climbed directly from Xia Chujian's arms to her shoulder.
It stood on either side of Little Chubby Bird, looking imposing and superior.
Si Xi: "..."
It secretly stretched out its paw, wanting to grab Teacup Dog and throw it out, but Xia Chujian stopped it in time.
"Si Xi, A Wù and A Yuan are your little brothers and sisters. You have to be a good older brother, understand?"
Xia Chujian stroked Si Xi's head.
Si Xi immediately narrowed its eyes, its little dog face relaxing as if it were smiling.
Xia Chujian yawned, pacifying the three little adorable pets in the house, and handed Si Xi to San Zong.
Wu Fu rode the Big Black Dog, while she, carrying A Wù and A Yuan, bid farewell to everyone before returning to her room.
...
That night, the entire Xia Residence slept soundly.
The next morning, everyone was full of energy.
Xia Chujian woke up before dawn, noticing it was only five in the morning.
She got up to take a shower first, then went downstairs to the kitchen.
She found Xia Yuanfang and Aunt Chen already busy preparing breakfast.
Xia Chujian said with a smile, "Good morning, Aunt! Good morning, Aunt Chen! You're up so early!"
Xia Yuanfang said, "You're going to the Exotic Beast Forest today, and I thought I'd fry some pies for you to take along."
"They can be kept in the electronic insulated food box, which can maintain the temperature even at minus eighty degrees."
Xia Chujian said, "Thank you, Aunt! I'll go get the electronic insulated food box!"
Considering the number of people going this time, Xia Chujian brought three electronic insulated food boxes, eventually filling them with thirty palm-sized Unicorn Beef Pies.
They were fried, so the calories, carbs, protein, and fat content were all top-notch.
Eating one was probably equivalent to a tube of Mid-Level Nutrient Solution.
Of course, the price was actually much higher than a Mid-Level Nutrient Solution.
Just to be safe, Xia Chujian also put thirty tubes of Advanced Nutrient Solution in her backpack.
Of course, the Gun Box also had to be carried, as well as her Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, which she wore directly inside her coat.
Although it was the hottest time of summer, they were going to the Land of the Far North in the Exotic Beast Forest, and the further north they went, the colder it would be.
At this time, the highest temperature there was only around minus eighty degrees.
Therefore, Xia Chujian, Aunt Chen, Zhu Yingying, and San Zong were all fully armed and dressed very warmly.
Xia Chujian also had Nano-level Bulletproof Vest and the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha underneath.
On the outside, she wore a warm coat issued by the Dark Night Hunter Association.
The helmet on her head was the one awarded by the Dark Night Hunter Association that could defend against Rank A Mental Strength attacks.
She wasn't wearing the helmet of her Shao Siming Mecha, but used it as a neck warmer, putting it around her neck.
However, she was wearing the Eyepiece Display Screen that covered half her face.
Through this Eyepiece Display Screen, Xia Chujian could communicate with Seven Lù in writing.
With so many people around, she didn't want to wear the fully enclosed helmet of the Shao Siming Mecha.
Then there was her backpack, enhanced by Seven Lù, which, when opened, had two small seats specially prepared for the Teacup Dog A Wù and the Little Chubby Bird A Yuan.
The two little ones quickly crawled inside.
Xia Chujian's trip to the Exotic Beast Forest was ostensibly to find Phoenix-Tailed Luan Bird, Red Bloom Wood, and Jia Rong Grass, but in reality, it was to find "food" for A Wù and A Yuan.
A Wù and A Yuan needed "sustainable development" even more!
The little Lucky Cat pendant hanging below A Wù's neck was taken off and placed in the living room at home.
Seven Lù had copied a control program there, so when it wasn't around, it could communicate remotely with Liu Shun via the Star Network.
Of course, it couldn't be controlled in places without the Star Network.
Xia Yuanfang and Aunt Chen also knew that this little Lucky Cat pendant was a talking smart appliance, so they didn't find it strange when it chatted with Liu Shun normally.
Once everyone was ready, Aunt Chen led them to a specially prepared gatehouse at the Manor gate.
Xia Chujian, Zhu Yingying, and San Zong all held onto Aunt Chen's arm.
Then San Zong held Si Xi, Xia Chujian carried the backpack and Gun Box, and Zhu Yingying carried an electronic bow on her back.
The three closed their eyes and followed Aunt Chen, who activated her Stealth Ability, as they headed towards the Exotic Beast Forest.
Without Aunt Chen's Stealth Ability, even if Xia Chujian used the Dark Night Hunter Association's Combat Aircraft powered by Small-Scale Controlled Nuclear Fusion, it would still take about ten hours to fly to the Exotic Beast Forest, near the Land of the Far North, which was over 100,000 kilometers away.
But with Aunt Chen's Stealth Ability, they could basically Go Wherever You Point, and even stop at multiple places along the way.
This time, Xia Chujian selected three locations based on distance.
The first stop was the closest to her small Manor, about a thousand kilometers away.
Because this was where Aunt Chen and San Zong discovered the Phoenix-Tailed Luan Bird.
...
Arriving at the first stop, Aunt Chen stopped Stealth, and the group revealed themselves in the depths of the forest.
Although it was only a little over a thousand kilometers away from Xia Chujian's small Manor, the temperature here had already dropped below zero.
The Eyepiece Display Screen on Xia Chujian's helmet directly showed the temperature: minus ten degrees Celsius.
Everyone was wearing coats, hats, gloves, and boots with heating equipment, capable of withstanding temperatures as low as minus eighty degrees Celsius, so they really weren't cold at the moment.
Xia Chujian only wondered, "San Zong, Aunt Chen, when did you find the Phoenix-Tailed Luan Bird here? Do they live in such low-temperature places?"
This is the second large chapter, including the September Moon Ticket 4200+. The September Moon Ticket bonus chapters are all completed.
Next, I plan to make up for the Alliance Master bonus chapters I owe. ()
Then start the October Moon Ticket bonus chapters.
I've worked hard, everyone, please feel free. (#^.^#
