Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 30: Wine, Sex, Money, and Anger, the Root of Desire

Half an hour later.

Finished eating.

Xia He, who had just arrived, took the initiative to take on the task of cleaning up the dishes. After all, she was a newcomer and had to leave a good impression on others.

During these two days of running and interacting, she had a certain understanding of Xiao Zizai and Chen Duo. She knew that they were poor people just like herself, and she also had a judgment about her new environment:
"At least it's not that bad, the food is pretty good~"

While washing the dishes, Xia He muttered to herself. She had to admit that Xia Ye's cooking skills really surprised her.

“Is this considered an employee benefit?”

At the same time, she also discovered that the new boss didn't seem to have any airs, and that he and Xiao Zi got along quite harmoniously with each other. There was no sense of distance between superiors and subordinates, but rather they were more like friends. This was undoubtedly a surprise.

And this time...

Click! Click! Click!

Hearing a sudden loud noise behind him, like the sound of a tree breaking, Xia He was startled and quickly looked outside.

At this time, on the open space outside, there were several thick logs piled in front of Xiao Zizai, and he was chopping them with his bare hands, while Xia Ye was watching from the side, directing them to be processed into fixed sizes.

"So... this is building my room?"

Seeing this scene, Xia He was immediately surprised. After dinner, she did hear Xia Ye's instructions to get a room for herself, but she didn't expect that it would be built on the spot?
However, it seems that they are quite efficient. In just a short while, all the raw materials have been processed, and then they began to build the basic framework.

About an hour later...

"How is it, does it look okay?"

After opening the door of the new room and putting the prepared mattress and various supplies in, Xia Ye asked with a smile.

"Yeah, that's good! Thank you~"

Xia He looked around for a few seconds and then nodded. The room was not big but had everything. The walls were painted in warm colors, as if intentionally, which gave it a cozy feeling.

"Then from now on, this is your home, welcome home!"

Seeing that she liked it, Xia Ye nodded slightly and waved.

"Let's go, let's talk..."

As he spoke, he called Xiao Zizai and asked him to look after Duoduo. Then he brought Xia He into the treatment room and brought her a chair.

"Come on, sit down."

"Is this... where you work?"

Looking at the medicine cabinet on the side, the bed in the middle, and the "three madmen" standing in a row against the wall like zombies, Xia He asked curiously.

"Yes, you should have figured it out. My main job is a doctor. This is my treatment room and study. Normally, when patients come, they are treated here." Xia Ye replied with a smile.

"Um……"

"So, I am also your patient?"

After sitting down, Xia He chuckled, with a hint of charm in her smile, and her every move revealed her charm.

At the same time, she moved her mind and quietly amplified the influence of her own supernatural powers. She wanted to observe this guy's reaction to see if he could resist her ability.

This is definitely an adventure...

But it is also the simplest way to test.

And this time...

"It seems that you don't completely trust me. It's understandable. It's human nature." Xia Ye smiled slightly when he saw this.

Then he stood up and walked in front of Xia He: "But I still want to remind you that your ability is special. Before your own strength is strong enough to bear the consequences of your ability, it is better not to try it casually."

Snapped!
As he finished speaking, he gently placed his hand on her shoulder.

wow——

"?!" In an instant, Xia He's eyes widened and her body stiffened. She found that she could no longer control her body at all, as if her soul was separated but imprisoned in the body.

To Xia Ye, this was just a simple use of his life force. In his eyes, everything about Xia He could be dismantled. But in Xia He's eyes, it was horrifying enough. This was a fear she had never experienced before!

Xia Ye knew very well that this girl was still a "wild horse" and needed enough strength to "tame" her before she could be used for his own purposes...

He also understood more clearly that as the number of people around him increased, a group would gradually gather around him. As the "leader" of this group, he needed to manage them and make them have a basic level of obedience, so he had to "teach students in accordance with their aptitude."

Ten seconds later...

Xia Ye withdrew his hand.

"How about it? Feel your own true energy. Are you willing to trust me now?" He smiled at Xia He and sat back.

"Ok?"

Xia He frowned slightly, felt it for a moment, and then her pupils trembled.

"how come?!"

She suddenly discovered that the internal Qi that had been flowing in her meridians without being able to stop flowing had returned to her Dantian, condensed into a ball, and floated quietly!

"how did you do it!"

“For me, it’s simple…”

Xia Ye explained with a smile.

“Although there are thousands of strange and bizarre supernatural powers in the world, in the final analysis, they are nothing more than the operation of true Qi. Supernatural people use the human body to respond to the overall situation of heaven and earth, and use Qi to imitate the power of heaven and earth to achieve skills. All things in the world are like this.”

"Your ability cannot be taken back, it's just because you haven't practiced enough and can't break the 'fixed situation' created by the true qi in your body. I helped you and broke the cycle, and the true qi was naturally taken back into your dantian."

Then, without waiting for Xia He to say anything more, he directly talked about his arrangements:

"In fact, it's not your fault that you can't control your own abilities. This is because the situation is exquisite and rare in the world. The moment it was formed, it was in line with the wonderful principle of the cycle of heaven and earth and has extremely strong stability."

"And the power it displays reaches directly to the origin of life, because lust and reproduction are the basic logic of life. Your ability involves the 'root of desire', so it is naturally very special."

"But it's not enough..."

"not enough?"

"That's right. As the saying goes: people have seven emotions and six desires... and your ability only accounts for a small part of them. In my opinion, you can definitely go a step further and become the master of the world's desires and the ruler of the thoughts of all spirits."

"That's why I asked Lao Xiao to bring these three guys back. They have committed many evil deeds and deserve to die, but they have what you need. They can make your abilities more complete, allowing you to transform and gain a new life!"

"Their abilities? What abilities?" Xia He wondered.

"Wine is a drug that penetrates the intestines, sex is a knife that cuts through the bones, money is the root of disaster, anger is a thunder and smoke cannon...the four words 'wine, sex, money and anger' describe all human desires and the root of evil." Xia Ye smiled.

"Among them, the woman has the ability to paralyze people's minds. You have experienced it before. She represents 'wine'..."

"The ability of that guy with glasses is 'borrowing'. He can lend people his true Qi, and will repay them with his life after nine out of 13 times of borrowing. What he represents is 'wealth'..."

"That fat guy looks kind, but his ability is the 'Twelve Emotional Fatigue Formation' that can make people angry and physically and emotionally exhausted. It represents 'Qi'..."

At this point, Xia He suddenly understood: "So, the reason they came to me is because my ability just happens to correspond to 'color'?"

"That's right!"

Xia Ye nodded slightly.

"Wine, sex, money and anger are the roots of desire. Rather than dividing them and spreading them out to commit evil, it is better for you to control them and gather them all together..."

"From now on, you are both the source of evil and the source of good. You can take or release whatever you want. You don't have to look at other people's faces anymore. Instead, you are above all spirits. This is the promise I made to you!"

"Can...can I do this?"

Xia He was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but feel a little expectant, but also a little embarrassed. It was obvious that he still had some doubts about himself.

Xia Ye smiled at her, signaling her to relax, and replied calmly:
"As long as I'm here, it can be done!"
