Do Something Useful, Barbatos!

"Alright, Little Eight, I'm going to work now. You can play at home, but don't you dare destroy the house, understand?" After finishing his meal and washing the dishes, Chen Luo squatted down in front of the little fox sitting on the sofa and said seriously to it.

"Eek!" the little fox cried out, its meaning unclear.

"Although I don't understand what you're saying, you must have already agreed. In that case, just stay home and behave yourself. I'll be back in a few hours." Chen Luo patted the little fox's head.

With the help of [100% Foxes Returning Favors], his Friend of the Non-Human, and the Chen the Great Philanthropist, Chen Luo felt that his intimacy with the little fox was already quite high, so it should be quite obedient.

"And there's that cat tree, cat bed, cat toys, etc. over there. Feel free to use them," Chen Luo said, pointing to the cat toy area he had just set up.

Although foxes are not cats, it's not a big problem.

Even Little Seven can play happily in this cat toy area, so there's no reason why Xiaoba can't, since they're both foxes.

Seeing the little fox squinting its eyes and enjoying being petted, Chen Luo felt that he had already discussed it with the other party, and then he led the Herrscher of Knowledge into the bar.

The little fox, all alone, nestled on the sofa. After playing with its tail for a while, it lost interest and turned its attention to the cat trees.

She lightly jumped off the sofa and, with graceful steps, walked towards the cat toy section.

The little fox was initially quite interested in the cat toy section, but as it got closer, its nose twitched slightly, as if it had smelled something strange.

"Goo!!!" The little fox instantly looked at the cat toys with wariness, its fur almost standing on end.

When the little fox smelled the scent of its own kind on these cat toys, it immediately became unhappy.

Like repels like, and the same applies to those of the same kind.

Especially when pets smell other pets on you, it's like a wife seeing her husband come home and smelling a strange perfume on him.

If she doesn't get angry, can she still be called the empress?

"Gurgle!" After lingering in place for a while, the little fox finally pounced on the cat toys and the cat bed next to them, revealing its sharp fangs and claws, and tearing at those things.

There is no place for you in this house anymore!

The first thing they would choose was the luxurious, huge cat bed that had the strongest scent of its kind. The cat bed was very soft, but that also meant it wasn't very durable, so fluff flew everywhere.

"Mr. Store Manager."

Surprisingly, the first person to arrive today was not Venti or the somewhat hungry Mona, but the most recent guest, Shenhe.

"Oh, you're already here? So early?" Although the fact that the other party arrived early was somewhat unexpected, it did not prevent Chen Luo from receiving the guest.

"Is there anything you'd like to eat or drink?" Chen Luo asked.

"No." Shenhe shook his head.

"..." Chen Luo fell silent for a moment.

This was Chen Luo's first customer for whom he didn't know where to start. Others had some appetite or wanted drinks or alcohol, but Shenhe didn't.

"What? Am I bothering you?" Shenhe asked, looking at Chen Luo's somewhat confused expression.

"No, not at all. How about a Clear Heart Brew instead?" Chen Luo shook his head.

"Clear Heart Brew?" Shenhe's expression changed slightly because Chen Luo mentioned a word that Shenhe cared about a lot.

"It's a wine brewed with Qingxin, but most of the bitterness and astringency of Qingxin have been removed, while retaining its refreshing aroma to a great extent." Chen Luo really went to great lengths to find out if Shenhe wanted anything to drink.

"Is that so? If you'd like, I'll have a drink." Shenhe nodded.

Because Shenhe really became interested in this thing.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Okay." Chen Luo smiled and took a glass of drink from under the bar, then handed it to Shenhe.

"Alo, who is this...?" The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Shenhe curiously from the side.

The Herrscher of Knowledge spends most of his time with Chen Luo, so it's really rare for him to encounter people that Chen Luo knows but he doesn't, especially guests.

"After sending you away today and reviving Mona, new guests have arrived," Chen Luo said.

"Hello."

After the Herrscher of Knowledge spoke, Shenhe turned his gaze to the Herrscher of Knowledge. Originally, he thought that the Herrscher of Knowledge was just a passerby, but since the other party was so familiar with the shopkeeper, should he also greet the other party?

"Oh, hello." The Herrscher of Knowledge smiled and extended her hand.

If the Herrscher of Knowledge is willing, Herrscher of Knowledge can become the best psychologist in the world, and also the gentlest and most considerate person.

Therefore, those Herrscher of Knowledge can also understand the current situation of the other party.

Due to special circumstances, the killing intent and malevolent energy were sealed off, but this also sealed off most of the emotions.

A very interesting technique.

However, in the eyes of those Herrscher of Knowledge, it is still too immature and inefficient.

Sometimes, however, murderous intent and malevolent energy can be extremely nutritious for inner demons.

Therefore, those Herrscher of Knowledge do not mind maintaining good relationships with the other party.

"Hello." Shenhe put down his Clear Heart Brew and shook hands with Herrscher of Knowledge.

Chen Luo didn't chill the refreshing craft beer; the other person chilled it themselves.

Shenhe's hands were slightly cool, but felt very comfortable to touch, though Herrscher of Knowledge didn't seem to care much.

Herrscher of Knowledge was more interested in Shenhe.

It's better to guide than to block. The opponent's techniques blocked the leakage of their murderous aura and malevolent energy, but in doing so, they also lost most of their emotions.

Sometimes, if too much killing intent and malevolent energy accumulates, the spell becomes ineffective, and the opponent's killing intent will become even greater.

Of course, there are solutions, such as having the Herrscher of Knowledge devour the murderous and malevolent energy.

This is the growth path of inner demons.

"Let me introduce you, this is... emmm, Fu Hua, a demon in her heart."

Chen Luo originally wanted to explain the relationship between Herrscher of Knowledge and himself, but after thinking for a long time, Chen Luo couldn't find a suitable connection.

The most appropriate relationship would undoubtedly be that of Father-Daughter, but saying that might make Herrscher of Knowledge go berserk.

What if my head gets smashed to pieces?

"Inner demons?" Shenhe, Herrscher of Knowledge, was taken aback.

"We live in different worlds, so we have different worldviews. Fu Hua is not a true inner demon; more accurately, she is Talent User gained some of the inner demon's abilities after killing it," Chen Luo continued to explain.

"Is that so? That's truly amazing." Trusting Chen Luo, Shenhe readily accepted this seemingly impossible premise.

"Young lady, you have a strong aura of killing intent and malevolence around you. Since you are A Luo's friend, would you like me to remove some of it for you?" the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly asked.

"Killing intent and malevolent aura? Can you see this level? But don't worry, I have the Crimson Rope Soul Binding Method specially passed down by my master, so there's no need to worry for now." Shenhe shook his head and declined the Herrscher of Knowledge's offer.

"Alas, you are mistaken. The Crimson Rope Soul Binding Method you described is indeed ingenious, but who knows that it is better to guide than to block? If you continue to suppress your emotions like this for a long time, your human emotions will become increasingly indifferent." The Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly opened a fan from who-knows-where.

"Let me cast a divination for you." As soon as the Herrscher of Knowledge uttered these words, a calm and convincing aura emanated from Herrscher of Knowledge.

A conman makes his appearance.

"You also know divination?"

"Naturally, let me reintroduce myself. I am Fu Hua, the Immortal Crimson Kite, a practitioner of the path to immortality. I have walked the world for a thousand years, observing all the affairs of the mortal realm, and thus I am quite familiar with the art of divination..."

"..." Chen Luo glanced at Herrscher of Knowledge, who had instantly transformed into a con artist, and remained silent.

To be honest, Herrscher of Knowledge's statement wasn't an exaggeration; in fact, it was an understatement. After all, Herrscher of Knowledge probably figured the other person wouldn't believe him if he said he'd lived for 50,000 years, so he reduced it by half.

To say that those Herrscher of Knowledge are omnipotent would be an exaggeration. However, Herrscher of Knowledge.

Perhaps this method of divination was created by someone Herrscher of Knowledge, or by someone Herrscher of Knowledge.

In mythology, the first person to use the method of divination was Fuxi, also known as Cang Xuan. Yes, he was the one who created the Book of Cang Xuan.

Whether the divination methods of those Herrscher of Knowledge can be trusted is indeed quite questionable.

Compared to Fu Hua, who is a dull and taciturn blockhead, Herrscher of Knowledge is much more eloquent and persuasive, at least when it comes to swindling.

As for the actual operation... let's take a look at Chen Luo's initial task.

The Herrscher of Knowledge was scammed by his own mother...

"Hmm?" The Herrscher of Knowledge, who was talking so eloquently that he was about to completely fool Shenhe, suddenly frowned and looked at Chen Luo.

Those Herrscher of Knowledge just now felt that someone was talking badly about them.

However, after noticing anything amiss, the Herrscher of Knowledge pulled Consciousness to a corner and began to talk at length.

The reason for changing positions is that the Herrscher of Knowledge is afraid that someone will come and disturb their train of thought.

"Ding-a-ling!" The doorbell rang shortly after the Herrscher of Knowledge left.

"Alo! Alo!" Venti rushed in.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Chen Luo rarely saw Venti in such a hurry.

"Ah Luo, didn't you want to do a commission? I'll give you one right now." Venti ran up to Chen Luo, grabbed Chen Luo's right hand with both of his, and stared at Chen Luo with his big eyes.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Dragon of the East Wind]: Help Venti resolve the current predicament Tevyat is in and restore him to normal.

Reward: 550 Primogem + Random Reward

"... Okay, okay, stop holding my hand. You're just posting a request, why are you holding my hand? Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about requests?" When he received the request, Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook off Venti's hand.

Chen Luo suspected that Venti had ulterior motives towards him.

Of course, while complaining about Venti, Chen Luo also took on this commission.

"So you accepted the commission? Can you do it?" Venti looked at Chen Luo expectantly.

"Well... it's not impossible." Chen Luo nodded after assessing the difficulty of the task.

This task is not difficult, or rather, it is very simple, at least for Chen Luo.

Leaving aside Chen Luo's various abilities, as well as his two talents Herrscher of Domination and Herrscher of Corrosion.

The reason why Stormterror Tevyat went out of control was largely due to being contaminated by the poisonous blood of the Dragon Dvalin.

This is just like Durandal being poisoned by Yuno.

The solution is simple: Chen Luo just needs to glance at the other person.

Just glance at the other party, lock them in the War Domain, plant an anchor point, and they'll be fine in a few days.

If all else fails, another beating will fix it.

However, the problem with this mission isn't just that; it also involves things like clearing up the misunderstanding between Venti and Tevyat, and the Abyss Order is also involved...

Overall, it's a troublesome, but not entirely troublesome, task.

"Really? Are you sure you can complete this task?" Venti asked.

"Why would I lie to you?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Venti.

"That's great." Venti breathed a sigh of relief.

"A glass of beer brewed with the Geo Archon!" Venti shouted.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Venti's voice also startled Shenhe, who was sitting in the corner. After all, Immortal Sect Disciple would definitely react when they heard the name of the Geo Archon.

"Sigh, don't worry about them, it's just the name of a wine," said the Herrscher of Knowledge, then continued to argue with Shenhe about the Herrscher of Knowledge's theory.

It's better to guide than to block.

"I can certainly help you complete the request, and given our relationship, I would definitely help even without the request, but..."

"But what?"

"But you need to try it first, and call me if you can't do it."

Why?

"Of course, if you don't mind that Tevyat is missing an arm or a leg, I'm fine with going. I finally gained new power, so it's good to have someone to practice on," Chen Luo said, stretching.
