An Immortal Life (Third Update)

Qin Yanan felt his aura rush towards her, staring in horror at Liu Chang'an before her. To her, how Liu Chang'an tormented the black-skinned, white-skinned pair of ghosts didn't seem particularly cruel or terrifying, but now, his size... was too frightening.

The question he asked gave Qin Yanan a familiar feeling, but thankfully he wasn't like the Hulk, who lost control of his reason and became extremely violent after transforming.

"I'm not as skinny as An Nuan," Qin Yanan blurted out, then immediately regretted it. What kind of time was this?

"You mean you have a lot of flesh on your butt?" Liu Chang'an nodded to indicate that he understood.

"What do we do now?" Qin Yanan didn't want to talk about this anymore; she had no time to dwell on it. She reached out her hand, but the natural awe that intelligent beings feel when facing high-level, powerful life forms prevented her from touching Liu Chang'an.

"It's a pity this place isn't truly deserted; there are crowds everywhere outside the valley. Otherwise, I could freely vent my power, reminisce for a while, and then return to my original form." Liu Chang'an twisted his neck, sat down, and clenched his fists, striking them violently together.

With such a giant unleashing his power right in front of her, Qin Yanan even felt a fluctuation of energy field around her, making her heart tremble. By the time Liu Chang'an finally finished unleashing his power and returned to his original form, Qin Yanan was already feeling dizzy.

"Thank God!" Qin Yanan staggered a step, grabbed the edge of the roof, then jumped onto the second-floor balcony, and then jumped down, grabbing Liu Chang'an was of normal build.

"It's boring." Liu Chang'an was somewhat unsatisfied; the days of capturing whales and fighting Tyrannosaurus Rex in the sea were truly a rare memory.

"I was so worried about you, and you were so annoying!" Qin Yanan wiped her eyes, her expression a mix of anger and resentment. After her worry came a hint of anger. Didn't he know how upset the other person was to see him get beaten up like that?

"It's boring, it's boring." Liu Chang'an stood up, patted his butt, walked into the long building, tore out a piece of dust cloth, tore it into a long strip, and wrapped it around his waist.

Qin Yanan then realized what had happened. Her face flushed like a peach blossom, her eyes filled with shyness. She clenched her teeth, regretting that she had been too nervous and hadn't realized he was completely naked when she jumped down to hug him.

His body swelled several times its original size, and the "Hawkeye"-style combat suit that Qin Yanan had carefully prepared for him was naturally torn to shreds.

Liu Chang'an wrapped the cloth around himself and gathered up all the torn pieces of his clothes to cover them up.

"I'll get someone to clean up this mess." Qin Yanan thought Liu Chang'an was about to leave and was thinking of a reliable person to clean up the mess.

"No need." Liu Chang'an shook his head. "These two belong to an organization called the Tesla Biological Research Center. Last time they attempted suicide by jumping into a well, they were found and rescued. This time, it's clearly not their own doing, so someone will probably handle the aftermath."

"Tesla Biological Research Center?" Qin Yanan said in surprise, "I was a psychologist during the summer vacation, and I saw a name tag for this research center on his desk!"

"There's nothing strange about it... This research center was established by Nikola Tesla, and coincidentally, I know someone with the same name. Thinking about it carefully, it's unlikely to be a coincidence. If it were the same person, then that person's influence would have already been established and infiltrated long ago, and it wouldn't be surprising to find his henchmen all over the world." Liu Chang'an reassured her not to worry. "This might not be a setup specifically designed for you, a psychologist, to do something. You're ultimately just a nobody."

"Is this Nikola Tesla the same Tesla who talked about alternating current?" Tesla's name is known to everyone, accompanied by various legendary stories that are like internet jokes. Qin Yanan even knows about relatively obscure scientific giants like Clark, let alone this one.

"This should just be a coincidence of names... The Tesla I know was a neurotic woman." Liu Chang'an walked into the long building and said uncertainly. Gender isn't something you can always determine by taking off your pants or lifting your skirt; after all, who can't pull out a big treasure?

"Madam? "Qin Yanan was slightly concerned, but didn't want to ask any more questions. She thought of Old Madam Su.

Qin Yanan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she would probably be more composed in the future. What kind of storms hadn't the senior experienced? What had just happened was probably nothing to him.

"But you've lived for so long, why haven't you built your own power?" Qin Yanan thought to herself, if someone had spent so many years building their own power, then probably every government, organization, family group, and so on with any influence on Earth could be associated with them.

"These are the thoughts of ordinary humans, thoughts that stem from ordinary human desires." Liu Chang'an shook his head. "For example, if you now possessed superhuman abilities and could Longevity, what would you want to do?"

"I guess... I'll just continue living like this." Qin Yanan hadn't really thought about this question.

"Then what?"

Then... well, she can't stay a counselor at Xiangtan University forever, Qin Yanan thought for a moment, "I might live a normal woman's life."

"Then what?"

"I guess I'll be like Tesla, starting to do something I want to do, like forming a larger-scale Chivalric Alliance or something." Qin Yanan said somewhat shyly. No matter how mature she appears or how elite a woman she is, the little bit of her inner desires will always pop up before they are completely realized or even disliked.

"Yes, many people will do this, but they will feel tired when their wealth, influence, power, etc. expand to their peak, because both wealth and power are closely related to people's desires. If you control these, it means that you have to control the desires of countless people and face countless ulterior calculations, betrayals, conspiracies, etc... Even if you have powerful force and stand on top of the world, as if no one can shake your position, you will still find greed... Greed is one of the most powerful driving forces in human nature. It makes ordinary people forget fear and feel lucky. Even if hundreds of millions of people have died because of greed, it can still bewitch countless people to continue..."

Liu Chang'an calmly explained that taking things for granted is one thing, but actually experiencing them is another. The foundation of human nature is actually the same, hovering around the benchmark of neutrality and balance. It's just that some people gradually deviate from the center, some gradually become radiant, some get lost and fall, some become more and more gentle and charming, and some gradually become repulsive.
