Chapter 226: Attitude

Ye Xuan and Su Mengli, according to the original plan, were supposed to go to the capital again, but the fake death experience was too thrilling. The plan to go to the capital was postponed for a while. We’ll talk about it later.

Meanwhile, Long Hanjie and others were very excited because Ye Xuan and Su Mengli came back to life, so they decided to visit them in Jiangcheng.

Su Mengli was about to leave when the remnant soul took over again and called Lin Xu.

The Empress spoke again, “Lin Xu, wait a moment, I have something important to tell you about the future…”

Lin Xu turned around, looking shocked at the Empress, not knowing what his most outstanding student was up to.

Suddenly, Ye Xuan covered the Empress’s mouth and said, “Alright Mengli, stop teasing the dean, the dean has other things to do, let the dean go.”

Lin Xu muttered, “Bizarre.”

Then quickly walked away, while the Empress’s remnant soul was once again pushed down by Su Mengli.

She removed Ye Xuan’s hand and said, “Ye Xuan, I’m fine now, I’m all better.”

At the same time, she thought to herself, “Empress, I know you are a person worthy of respect, but this is my world, this is my life, I don’t want you to meddle, my body, my choice.”

Su Mengli admired her parallel world self very much, precisely because she couldn’t be as great as her, she admired her.

However, she didn’t want to become that kind of person, she just wanted to be Su Mengli, be a good Su Mengli to Ye Xuan. As for the Empress who sacrificed herself for the world and the people, she wasn’t prepared to be like her.

Neither the Empress nor Su Mengli could convince each other. The Empress still wanted to take control of the body again, even if she didn’t tell Lin Xu, telling Ye Xuan might work, perhaps Ye Xuan would find a way to stop it from happening.

However, when she tried to take control of the body again, she found that she couldn’t shake Su Mengli’s soul.

Su Mengli said, “This is ultimately my body. If I don’t agree, you can’t take it away. You want Ye Xuan to know about this, right? I will tell him, you don’t need to fight anymore.”

The Empress’s remnant soul stopped making useless efforts, while Su Mengli said, “Ye Xuan, if we are really hated, do we still have to save those who hate us?”

Ye Xuan hugged Su Mengli’s waist and said, “Of course not! I’m not a saint, getting hated on one side and saving people on the other? Am I one of those superheroes in Marvel?”

Ye Xuan saw Su Mengli’s condition just now and knew that the opinions of the two souls were conflicting, which is why they were alternating.

Now, upon hearing this sentence, Ye Xuan basically understood what was going on.

Although the remnant soul didn’t remember everything, she still remembered some major events.

In the previous life, more than a year after the rebirth of spiritual energy, there was a significant conflict between awakeners and ordinary people.

Of course, the conflict was not a physical one, as ordinary people didn’t have the qualifications to use force against awakeners. It was just protests, demonstrations, and insults.

That incident was also caused by the Heavenly Sacred Sect, but the process was different. However, the end result was the same.

At a critical moment, three awakeners chose to save themselves and sacrificed more than ten ordinary people.

After the Heavenly Sacred Sect released the video of the incident, it caused a huge backlash in public opinion, and ordinary people were very angry.

In their eyes, awakeners should act like police officers and soldiers. When they are in danger, they should use their bodies to shield them, sacrificing their lives to protect them is the right thing to do.

But now, three awakeners sacrificed more than ten people to save themselves, which was simply outrageous.

After the protests erupted, many ordinary people began to curse the awakeners, demanding severe punishment for the three awakeners, and even suggesting execution.

The awakeners were also angry. Both the Martial faction and the academy faction went on strike, no longer protecting the city’s safety.

Taking advantage of the situation, the beasts invaded, viewing humans as food. The protesters were numerous and densely packed.

The large beasts could eat dozens or even hundreds of people in one bite, which was very satisfying for them.

Therefore, the beast attacks mostly targeted the protesters. As for those who stayed at home obediently, they were relatively safe because the beasts were not interested in searching for people in their homes.

The protesters suffered heavy casualties, but there were not many bodies left behind because many beasts devoured people without leaving any remains, leaving only empty clothes and hats.

Afterwards, awakeners from the Martial and academy factions took action to hunt down the beasts, establishing the awakeners’ superiority over ordinary people.

Although Ye Xuan was a low-class awakener among awakeners in his previous life, he was still an awakener.

One’s position determines one’s mindset, so he naturally stood on the side of the awakeners. Such incidents happening once were good.

At least from then on, awakeners didn’t have to hold back when facing beasts and could act boldly and confidently.

The events that took place in the gym today, although different from the events in the previous life, had the same effect.

When Ye Xuan and Su Mengli had not yet arrived, the awakeners were competing with a group of students.

The winners would leave alive, while the losers would be killed on the spot. The matches were mostly won by the awakeners, which also angered ordinary people.

The incident is already heating up, but Lin Xu’s Ant Craze incident was too explosive, overshadowing the heat of that incident.

Once Lin Xu suppresses the heat of the Ant Craze incident, the heat of this incident will immediately rise.

It’s unlikely that the Heavenly Sacred Sect’s video will be blocked. Although the backbone of the Heavenly Sacred Sect is gone, there are still people below who are colluding with the beasts and foreign forces.

Now that spiritual energy has revived, beasts are rampant, and China is becoming powerful, showing signs of becoming the top power. Naturally, foreign forces cannot sit back and watch the rise of China.

When those videos come out, they must have already copied countless copies and spread them through different channels. Even if they are blocked quickly, this matter cannot be contained.

It might be better to let the situation explode and completely resolve this internal problem, rather than letting it accumulate and cause greater damage to the country in the future.

Su Mengli fully agreed with Ye Xuan’s attitude, she had the same idea.

Then, Su Mengli directly activated the nano battle armor and said, “Ye Xuan, in the past, you always flew with me on you. How about this time you fly on me?”

Ye Xuan smiled, “Of course, let’s take off!”

Then, the back thrusters of the nano battle armor started, and the armor soared into the sky.

As for Ye Xuan, he held Su Mengli’s waist, his head resting on the softness of Su Mengli’s chest, experiencing the unique feeling of being flown by someone else.
