Tevyat could serve as an opportunity for Chen Luo to test his own strength.

The Honkai World is no good. Chen Luo's various special attacks completely counter everyone in the Honkai World, making it impossible for Chen Luo to unleash his normal level of strength.

"That won't do. Well, I'll go first. I'll try." Venti was startled when she heard Chen Luo's ruthlessness.

Venti just wanted to take a break and have someone else run errands, but she couldn't let her old friend get beaten to death like that.

"But speaking of which, what's your relationship with Tevyat?" Chen Luo teased Venti.

"If I remember correctly, Tevyat is Familia Member of Anemo Archon Barbatos, right? And recalling my experience of obtaining the Anemo Vision, and your insistence on not drinking the wine brewed by the Anemo Archon..."

As Chen Heng spoke each word, Venti's expression grew increasingly tense.

"Could you be Barbatos's... Familia Member?"

"... That's right, you might not believe it, but my real name is Vanessa." Venti secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the end.

"Let's get down to business, Barbatos!" Chen Luo slammed the wine brewed by the Geo Archon in his hand down in front of Venti and glared at him.

"!!!"

Chapter 137 Venti: I'll show you how I drink myself!

"Haha, what are you talking about, Alo?" Venti, whose identity was instantly exposed, froze for a moment.

"What, do you think you're putting on a good show? Or do you think your cover-up is flawless?" Chen Luo asked casually as he carved the wooden sculpture in his hand.

"Ah, this..."

"Oh, right. Do you know what the song you sang at the beginning was called by the tavern?" Chen Luo remembered something.

"What's your name?"

"The Wind God's Favor."

"..." Venti immediately shut her mouth.

Good grief, does that mean we were exposed from the very beginning?

"Then... don't you feel that I'm very capable or anything?" Venti asked tentatively.

"Impressive, indeed impressive. But do you think this bar lacks impressive people? Hmm?" Chen Luo asked.

"That makes sense..." Venti nodded in agreement.

Venti, as Chen Luo's first customer, has witnessed Chen Luo growth. Although she has never been able to see through Chen Luo's strength in the bar, seeing Chen Luo become more and more confident proves that his strength is getting stronger.

Since Venti was the first customer to come to the bar and came every day, Venti knew almost every customer. As a result, Venti also knew what kind of monsters and ghosts were in this bar.

Even setting aside how crazy and strange the customers are, the bar itself is already outrageous.

"Alright, now that we've laid everything out, then... Chen Luo!" Venti suddenly said, her voice rising slightly.

The reason it was only a little loud was because I didn't want to disturb the two people sitting in the corner.

"What are you doing?" Chen Luo asked, turning his head.

"Stop using me to complete commissions!" Venti protested.

"Oh."

"Oh, what do you mean? Please, I'm the Anemo Archon, the Anemo Archon Barbatos! Can't you give me some face? You could at least say you won't use me to farm quests anymore, that would be fine, just say it." Venti looked at Chen Luo expectantly.

"...Hey!" Chen Luo tapped his head.

"What do you mean by 'hey'?! You heartless bastard!"

"Would you like some wine brewed with the Anemo Archon? It's really delicious. Think of Eula, I highly recommend it," Chen Luo tried to tempt her.

"Before I laid my cards on the table, you made me drink wine brewed with the Anemo Archon. After I laid my cards on the table, you still made me drink wine brewed with the Anemo Archon. Doesn't that make absolutely no difference whether I laid my cards on the table or not?"

"What are you talking about? Who told you that coming clean would be useful? I came clean that I'm the Herrscher of Domination Mondstadt, Liyue it work? No. So, are you really not going to have a drink? It's really delicious. Wind God's Liquor Geo Archon's Liquor..."

"Really?"

"Nonsense, why would I lie to you? I may like getting commissions sent to me, but when have I ever lied to anyone? If I say it's delicious, it must be delicious, right?"

"..." Chen Luo's words made Venti think.

Because Chen Luo's words were not wrong in a certain respect. Although Chen Luo would sometimes ask Venti for commissions, he would only tell her what was better and if she wanted another drink. Although Venti felt like she was being taken advantage of, she did not object.

Because the ones Chen Luo recommends are generally better.

It was this Wind God's Liquor that kept Venti from making a tough decision.

"No, please?" Venti was still a little hesitant.

"I'll have a drink," Chen Luo said firmly.

"No way..."

"A drink, please."

"Don't want..."

"A drink, please."

"Want a drink?"

Okay.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Commission reward: 50 Primogem.

"Tsk, it's not 80 Primogem." Chen Luo shook his head inwardly, but in reality, he still took out a bottle of Void Wine and placed it in front of Venti.

Generally, sake made with the Void Wine by such a strong obsession costs 80 Primogem, and even if it's lower, it won't be much lower.

Venti is probably just really wanting to drink it but is hesitant, which is why he only has 50. But it's not a big problem. Anyway, the cost of five Primogem will make a profit of 45 Primogem, so it's a sure thing.

Moreover... Chen Luo felt this should be a long-term business.

Once the other person has had a drink, their craving for alcohol will become stronger.

"..." Venti looked at the wine glass in front of her, surrounded by a gentle breeze, and after steeling her heart, she picked up the glass and gulped it down in one go.

"!!!" Venti, who had finished drinking the entire glass, dropped it and smashed it heavily on the floor.

At this moment, Venti was staring blankly ahead, her eyes vacant.

[Ding! Mission complete. Mission a great success, rewards doubled.]

"Hmm?" Chen Luo's eyebrows twitched slightly.

How could it possibly be such a huge success?

At this moment, Venti had no time to pay attention to Chen Luo. After drinking that glass of wine, Venti felt as if she had become a flower in the wind again, returning to the most original, instinctive, pure, and joyful time.

That is true freedom.

This glass of wine seems to be the embodiment of freedom.

At that moment, Venti finally understood why Eula had that expression after drinking that glass of wine.

Just as Chen Luo said, Wind God's Liquor is the most suitable wine for Mondstadt people to drink.

"Another one!" Venti said, slamming her hand on the table.

At this moment, Venti seemed to have returned to the original feeling of being moved.

"Sorry, it's limited to one cup per day," Chen Luo said coldly.

"Huh?! You..." Venti's finger was trembling as she pointed at Chen Luo.

The person in front of me... is simply a demon!

"That's true, why are you looking at me like that? Think about it carefully, have you ever drunk the same form of Void Wine more than once in a day?" Chen Luo said helplessly.

"Uh..." Venti thought for a moment and realized that she had never actually ordered more than one cup of the same form of Void Wine.

Seeing that there was nothing to say, Chen Luo nodded inwardly.

Actually, Chen Luo didn't give Venti's wine because of some necessary requirement, but because it was Chen Luo's own decision.

Just as Chen Luo wouldn't provide two Judgment Time to Yuyuko in one day, Chen Luo wouldn't provide two identical items to other guests in one day.

Mona eats everything except Mona.

You have to cast a long line to catch a big fish.

"Ah..." A faint moan entered Chen Luo's ears. Chen Luo turned his head and saw the Herrscher of Knowledge sitting in the corner of the bar, touching Shenhe inappropriately.

The sound just now came from Shenhe.

The Herrscher of Knowledge was stroking Shenhe's back, and wisps of black and red aura slowly gathered in the Herrscher of Knowledge of Herrscher of Knowledge's hand as he stroked it.

It seems that Herrscher of Knowledge has successfully fooled Shenhe.

Ah, it can't be said that he completely fooled her. The Herrscher of Knowledge did indeed want what was best for Shenhe. However, besides wanting what was best for Shenhe, the Herrscher of Knowledge also wanted to eat something.

The Herrscher of Knowledge is now considered a spiritual being, and its compatibility with the Inner Demon Lure is extremely high. Therefore, the Herrscher of Knowledge has consumed the Inner Demon Lure is now also considered a demon.

Inner demons feed on all negative emotions, including sadness, anger, fear, murderous intent, and malevolent energy.

Looking at the pill, about the size of a thumbprint, formed from killing intent and malevolent energy, the Herrscher of Knowledge swallowed it whole, a comfortable expression appearing on her face.

Shenhe's essence... I really want to eat it.

Cough cough...

Seeing Shenhe's face was excessively rosy, perhaps due to the release of murderous and malevolent energy from his body, Chen Luo did not hesitate to have the tavern record this moment.

The profoundness of this posture is completely different from his usual cold expression. Due to the extreme contrast, it is irresistible to look at.

"Alright, I've extracted some of the killing intent and malevolent energy from your body using a special method. Do you feel a little more relaxed now?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked.

"Indeed, thank you very much. But is this the only way to extract killing intent and malevolent energy?" Shenhe expressed his gratitude to the Herrscher of Knowledge very directly, but at the same time, he also expressed some concerns.

Shenhe He didn't say that this method was bad, but when extracting killing intent and evil energy, it gave Shenhe an extremely unusual feeling.

"That's right. This is the only way. You are destined for a life of calamity and death, with an extremely strong killing intent. It is a rare and extremely ominous destiny that is both harmful to yourself and others. I have extracted a small amount of the malevolent energy and killing intent aided by the Crimson Rope Soul Binding Method. Because there is too much, I can only extract it in batches."

"The Crimson Rope Soul Binding Method is a last resort. It will imprison many of your human emotions. As I extract more of your fierceness and murderous aura, it will also bring back some of your human emotions. Of course, your destiny cannot be changed, so the Crimson Rope Soul Binding Method is still needed to restrain you. However, the number of red ropes can be reduced a little. Then you will not be as almost devoid of emotions as you are now."

Even if one is Herrscher of Knowledge, and absorbs all the malevolent energy and killing intent from the other party, the other party's fate of being destined for solitude and calamity will continue to generate malevolent energy and killing intent.

Unless a more suitable method is found, the Crimson Rope Soul Binding Method will continue to be used.

Of course, Herrscher of Knowledge can help in this regard, after all, Herrscher of Knowledge is Herrscher of Knowledge, and the combined age of the several masters who taught Shenhe is not even as old as Herrscher of Knowledge.

But since this was the other party's master's method, those Herrscher of Knowledge should refrain from saying more.

If things improve in the future... then we'll see.

However, this does not mean that the actions of the Herrscher of Knowledge are not without effect. Extracting a portion of the ferocity and killing intent from the other party will restore some of their human emotions.

However, the other person will still be aloof and cold, and will still lack common sense.

After a hearty meal, the Herrscher of Knowledge skipped and hopped back to Chen Luo's side.

"What, are you full?"

"Hmm, that little girl has a lot of killing intent and malevolent energy; she can't be consumed in one meal. So she needs to be devoured in several batches," said the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Besides, eating too much at once would affect my humanity," the Herrscher of Knowledge added.

Inner demons are extremely difficult to generate and have a special nature, but this does not mean that inner demons can do whatever they want.

In a sense, the initial Herrscher of Knowledge could also be considered a demon, possessing Fu Hua's body, which is equivalent to a demon possession.

But look at what it turned out like in the end.

Not only did the inner demon fail to possess the body, but it was also shaped by the body's memories into the form of the target being possessed.

This is why those inner demons and great monsters have unpredictable thoughts and may even have split personalities, fighting against themselves.

You can't just eat anything.

Fortunately, after becoming Fu Hua, the Herrscher of Knowledge's 50,000 years of experience made her personality exceptionally strong, unlike those young little demons who would ruin their health by consuming negative emotions.

However, this still does not Herrscher of Knowledge the right to do whatever they want.

For example, the Herrscher of Knowledge dares not eat the darkness that has accumulated for 50,000 years in the Childhood Fun Park.
