Lin Shuhan heard the songs of birds.
He felt water rush past his ears.
He was in a small river.
He raised his hand and looked at it.
Water dripped gently down his skin.
His hand looked like a bronze white statue of muscle and engineering. He clenched it. It felt soft.
"Innate Information," he muttered.

"You surprisingly didn't break through the Emotional Awakening stage forcefully," a voice came from behind him.
He groggily looked up.
Who else if not his mother?
"That makes sense," he said. Cold. "I don't feel any emotions at all anymore. Not even lingering emotions."
She looked at him, smiling. "That's fine. Unlike before, I can cultivate for you now. Once you pass emotional awakening, this would not happen anymore."
"I see."
But how was she going to make him go through it, though?
To achieve Emotional Awakening, one must feel all the core emotions; seven sins and seven virtues, to their extreme.
Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, Sloth. Humility, Charity, Chastity, Kindness, Temperance, Patience, Diligence.
How can she make him feel all of that to the extreme?
It was easy.
Her daughter, Mei'er, felt all emotions to the extreme. As long as she went through it—wouldn't he benefit through the bond?
But she is not at the Emotional Awakening stage, she has to reach that stage for it to work, I guess? She assumed.
She wished she herself was at that stage, then it would have been easy.
Or there is another way—I can practice Martial Methods, she thought. I already have that Seven Sins Manual which I created while awakening myself, if I also get a Seven Virtues Manual, the stimulation of both should be enough for him to awaken as well.
But training emotion based Manuals are hard. Not to mention all the time it would take.
But!
It was not hopeless.
Lin Shuhan stood up, yawning. "Divine Yang Immortal Body, huh?"
It was a Divine Body.
Anything Divine could not be underestimated. Just like his Divine Skill.
And his Divine body had only one use.
It can store Qi and transform it into Yang Energy. What was Yang Energy?
It was the energy of all positive things in the universe. Luck, for example, was Yang Energy.
Lin Shuhan smiled emotionlessly and went upto Mei'er who was just sitting patiently beside him.
He touched her head.
He currently had 2 Circles of Yang Energy, which had taken around a 100 circles of Nascent Qi to make.
It was the excess after his Divine Body's inception.
Immediately, he gave all of that Yang Qi to his sister.
She showed a pleasant expression. And her eyes started shining deep gold again. Sadly her Divine Skill had absorbed all the Yang Energy or he would have gotten 10x of it back.
Laughing, she jumped into his arms.
He caressed her head. "Baby, I know you can understand me somewhat right? Your brother can't feel emotions due to a sickness. Use that Yang Energy and exchange it with heaven in return for my emotions."
She tilted her head.
His mother sighed from the side. "I wish it were that easy."
He said calmly: "It is that easy. Watch." Saying that, he wrapped his hand tightly around his sister, not letting her move an inch.
She struggled to move.
He kissed her cheek. "You are not moving."
Any emotional kid was not going to like being unmovable. It irritated the hell out of them. She growled and tried to move again and again. But Shuhan was way too strong.
Grrr!!!
She suddenly became a bit stronger.
Still, it was not enough.
A golden halo appeared around her skin.
He grinned, not letting go.
Skin Clearance!
She had wished for a growth in strength, and heaven replied with a cultivation reward!
[Lin Mei'er has achieved Skin Clearance]
[10x reward claiming]
[Impenetrable Skin]
His skin tightened. Becoming impenetrable by any mortal weapon.
Seeing she still could not escape, she used even more of the Yang Energy inside her body. Which was an extreme amount!
He was still feeding her his Yang Energy.
Her whole body began emitting golden light and her strength doubled.
She made a roaring noise in an attempt to escape.

Impenetrable skin, heavy muscles, explosive tendons, healing blood, enduring organs, and diamond bones!
His body became had tougher than any mortal beast known to man. And still, his sister was struggling.
She gritted her teeth in anger. "BRO BRO!"
Emotional Awakening!
When someone is going through emotional awakening, they would remember all their deepest emotions. And they will relive it.
Lin Mei'er's body went rigid in Shuhan's unyielding grip, her small frame locked against his chest like a bird in a cage.
First came Pride, a fire igniting in her core. Her back arched violently against him, spine curving like a bowstring pulled taut, her chin jerking upward as if to challenge the sky itself.
It was the pride of not losing against her brother even now. This was the most prideful moment in her life!
Grrr!
She gritted her teeth.
Then Humility shattered it, the fire dimming. Her body crumpled instantly, shoulders slumping forward, head bowing so low her forehead nearly smashed into his collarbone.
She still couldn't leave!
Tears welled up unbidden, spilling hot down her cheeks and soaking into his shirt, her sobs muffled against him—deep, heaving ones that wracked her frame like hiccups from a child too small for such sorrow.
Wrath exploded next, dangerous and furious, her eyes flashing crimson as the emotion took hold. She thrashed like a wild animal, body convulsing in his arms, elbows jabbing backward into his ribs with surprising force, her teeth bared in a feral snarl.
Patience cooled it swiftly, the white shard weaving through the fury like a steady hand on a fevered brow. Her thrashing slowed, breaths lengthening from ragged gasps to deliberate inhales, one every few seconds, her body going heavy and still in his hold.
This was still her brother. She loved him.
But her brother was too strong!
Envy slithered in, coiling tight in her chest. Her body tensed again, twisting sideways in his grip, face contorting into a scowl as she growled. "Let go!"
He grinned.
Kindness bloomed white in her at the sight, washing away the envy in a rush of warmth. Her writhing softened to gentle tremors, body melting against him, arms wrapping around his waist in a sudden, fierce hug.
Hmph! Her brother strong of course! Of course!
And he was all hers anyway. Greed surged in, her eyes widening as hunger took over. She squirmed greedily now, hands grasping at everything—his shirt, the chain, even reaching for the flowers and rain—pulling them toward her with frantic tugs.
Charity countered it, her grip loosening as generosity flooded in. She exhaled long and deep, body unfolding from its hoard. Her mama also deserved her brother.
Lust ignited in her, not carnal but soul-deep, her body pressing flush against him in heated undulations. She remembered clinging in the dark at some vague age, never let go, and desire pulsed. Hips shifted restlessly, breaths hot and ragged against his neck, hands sliding up his arms in needy trails, the chain burning white-hot. She whimpered, body writhing in waves of longing, legs tightening, a flush creeping up her skin as connection hungered beyond flesh.
Chastity tempered it, her movements stilling to chaste poise. Not to own, the thought came, and she pulled back slightly in his hold, hands folding in her lap, breaths evening to calm purity. The heat faded, chain cooling, her eyes meeting his with innocent clarity, body relaxing into respectful distance.
Gluttony devoured her nect, her mouth opening again, body convulsing in ravenous hunger for more—memories, emotions, him.
Temperance balanced it again, her exhale releasing it all, body flattening, serenity returning.
Sloth weighed on her now, she was too tired after feeling all of that. She remembered curling in his shadow at sixteen, never move, and inertia claimed her—moss creeping, chain rusting, breaths slowing to near-stillness, eyes glazing in lazy surrender.
Diligence shattered it finally, her body cracking free, energy surging as she stood—despite the hold—pushing against him with renewed vigor.
Laughing, he let go.
She immediately turned and gave him a kick right in his balls.
Thankfully, even his balls were strong.
But unfortunately, not strong enough.
Arghhh!!!!
