Immersed in Shenhe's "Feelings"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"... The timing of your groups is absolutely perfect. Anyone who arrives a minute earlier or leaves a minute later will run into you." Chen Luo sighed as he looked at the newcomers.

First Mobius left, then Otto arrived a while later, then Otto left again, and then Theresa arrived a couple of minutes later.

Actually, Chen Luo was quite curious. If these three groups of people were to collide, how would the Herrscher of Knowledge introduce himself?

"Theresa, I've packed up the bitter melon juice for you." Chen Luo handed the packed bitter melon juice to Theresa.

"Ah, manager, I wasn't planning on taking it to go?" Theresa looked at the already packaged bitter melon juice, somewhat bewildered.

"But you're leaving soon," Chen Luo said.

"What do you mean you're leaving soon? I just arrived, I still need to drink a few more cups of bitter melon juice," Theresa said, arms crossed.

"You have 10 seconds to leave, 10, 9, 8, 7..."

"Beep beep!" But before Chen Luo could finish counting down, the communicator on Theresa's wrist started beeping.

Chen Luo's bar has a signal that connects everyone's world, so there's no need to worry about not having a signal when you come here.

"Uh... Kiana, eat less ice cream, I have something to do so I'll be going now." Looking at the call request, Theresa picked up the packaged bitter melon juice and ran out.

"Wow, Aro! You're amazing! You can even foresee the future!" Kiana almost instantly forgot about Theresa's lecture and ran straight to Chen Luo, looking at him with shining eyes.

Chapter 165 Immersed in Shenhe's "Intentions"

"Alo, Alo, you're so amazing, do you think I can become the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal in the future?" Kiana asked, her eyes sparkling as she tugged at Chen Luo's hand.

"Oh, little... isn't Fu Hua over there? Why don't you ask her?" Chen Luo said, pointing to the Herrscher of Knowledge over there.

"Hey, it's just that I trust you more, Aro," Kiana said matter-of-factly.

"Hmm, okay, then I'll answer your question. Kiana Kaslana will become the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal in the future," Chen Luo said after pretending to do some calculations.

"Wow, Mei, did you hear that? Aro said I'll become the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal!" Kiana excitedly grabbed Mei's hand again after hearing Chen Luo's confirmation.

"Really? That's wonderful." Mei smiled gently.

"Idiot Kiana, you're easily fooled by praise like that, which is only good for children." Bronya, who was following behind the two, gave them a disdainful look.

"That's what Alo said. You can ask him if you don't believe me. He can even accurately predict that Aunt Flo will leave immediately. Alright, Bronya, don't be jealous. After I become the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal, I'll protect you." Kiana patted Bronya's head triumphantly from above.

"..." Chen Luo wanted to stop Kiana's taunts, but didn't know how to start.

Kiana Kaslana are indeed the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal, but the problem isn't with this Kiana Kaslana.

Honkai Impact 3rd is a world that knows how to have fun.

Fu Hua can't become Herrscher, so let the Herrscher become Fu Hua.

Kiana cannot become the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal because Durandal's combat power is somewhat overpowered, so let Durandal become Kiana Kaslana.

"Alright, alright, you three, stop arguing. You might not believe it, but you two can also become the strongest Valkyrie, just not from the same faction," Chen Luo said to Mei and Bronya.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Mei, puzzled.

"Uh, it's a secret, would you like some ice cream?"

"Yes!" Kiana was the first to say.

How should we judge these three Valkyrie before us?

Raiden Mei will become the strongest Valkyrie in World Serpent, because she is the only Valkyrie in World Serpent.

Bronya will become Anti-Entropy's strongest Valkyrie, because Anti-Entropy only has her as its Valkyrie.

As for Kiana? She will become the strongest Valkyrie on the moon, because she's the only one there.

What kind of Hell Joke is this?

"Are you really coming?"

"You really want to come."

"Nonsense, hurry up. How come it's so difficult for you, a demon, to absorb killing intent and evil energy?" Herrscher of Knowledge slapped Chen Luo on the head with a chop.

"Well, this... Shenhe, just bear with it." Chen Luo nodded somewhat reluctantly, then said to Shenhe, who had his back to him.

"Okay, you... you can do it." Shenhe paused for a moment, then nodded.

Shenhe He didn't understand why things had turned out this way. He had come to this bar hoping that the Herrscher of Knowledge would help him absorb some of the killing intent and malevolent energy.

Yesterday, after I returned to the mountain from the bar, my master did say that the murderous aura and evil spirit on me had lessened, and after hearing my explanation, he agreed with me.

When I arrived at the bar today, I discovered that it wasn't the Herrscher of Knowledge absorbing my killing intent and malevolent energy anymore, but the manager.

It's so magical.

"There might be some strange things during the absorption process, just bear with it," Chen Luo said, placing his fingers on Shenhe's back.

"Um, I understand." In fact, the moment Chen Luo's fingers touched Shenhe's smooth back, Shenhe had already sensed something was wrong.

For various reasons, Shenhe's body temperature is relatively low, and the temperature of the Herrscher of Knowledge's hand that absorbed the killing intent for Shenhe yesterday is also quite low. But Chen Luo is different; Chen Luo's fingers are relatively warm, which makes Shenhe feel a little uncomfortable.

It was a very strange feeling, but I couldn't say I disliked or hated it.

"I'm coming." After Chen Luo finished speaking softly, the Herrscher of Knowledge version of the inner demon ability was activated, and wisps of black killing intent and baleful energy were extracted from Shenhe's body by Chen Luo.

Feeling as if something was being pulled from his body, Shenhe was extremely sensitive to his physical sensations. In addition, Chen Luo's finger, even though it was just a single finger, was radiating an astonishing heat. As a result, Shenhe's voice finally escaped his lips uncontrollably.

"..." Listening to Shenhe's somewhat strange voice, Chen Luo felt as if he were doing something shameful.

But the problem is that Chen Luo is indeed doing something important.

Although Chen Luo could indeed use silk threads to extract killing intent and malevolent energy instead of touching it with his hands, the problem was that Shenhe's killing intent and malevolent energy were quite strong, so it was better to manipulate it by hand.

Otherwise, Chen Luo was afraid that his lines might not be able to withstand the strain.

Simply put, the line is used to cast a wide net, which is good for dealing with weak opponents, while the hand-touching method is good for dealing with powerful single targets.

In fact, those Herrscher of Knowledge are also like this.

Through Chen Luo's efforts, the killing intent and baleful aura within Shenhe's body were gradually extracted by Chen Luo. Unlike the Herrscher of Knowledge was made into a ball, Chen Luo made it into a chocolate bar this time.

"Alright, alright, that's enough. Extracting this much at once is sufficient. If you keep sucking it in, it will affect the other party's energy and spirit." The Herrscher of Knowledge, who was watching the chocolate bar gradually take shape, suddenly stopped Chen Luo.

Negative emotions and negative energy are also part of the human body. If too much is lost at once, one will feel mentally exhausted, listless, and other negative conditions.

This is also why the Herrscher of Knowledge did not extract all the killing intent and malevolent energy from Shenhe's body in one go.

On the one hand, fresh food tastes best, and on the other hand, extracting it all would cause considerable harm to Shenhe.

"Oh." Chen Luo nodded, then disconnected.

After Chen Luo severed the connection, the black chocolate bar mixed with blood red in Chen Luo's hand began to tremble, trying to return to its owner's body.

"Eat it quickly. Otherwise, if this thing returns to its original body, all our efforts will be wasted," the Herrscher of Knowledge urged.

Upon hearing the words of the Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo immediately stuffed the chocolate bar into his mouth.

"Ugh!" The moment Chen Luo swallowed that murderous aura and malevolent energy, his eyes widened.

This murderous aura and malevolent energy were completely different from the negative emotions Chen Luo had consumed for the first time in Mondstadt.

The difference between the two is like the difference between a large pot of stew and a refined dish.

The former couldn't taste anything at all; they just felt mentally shocked.

However, after consuming Shenhe's murderous aura and malevolent energy, one can sense a very strong spiritual imprint belonging to Shenhe.

Negative emotions are also part of a person, even murderous and malevolent energies.

Therefore, to some extent, Chen Luo's absorption of Shenhe's killing intent and malevolent aura was also equivalent to...

Cough cough...

Moreover, and this is especially important, Shenhe was born with the destiny of the Solitary Star Calamity, and killing intent and evil energy were inseparable from her throughout her life. Therefore, the Shenhe component was even stronger in this killing intent and evil energy.

"How was it? Feeling great, huh? For us inner demons, the most suitable development path is actually to rely on a strong person to continuously devour the negative energy and negative emotions of the other party, rather than widely devouring the negative emotions of ordinary people." The Herrscher of Knowledge said while biting into the chocolate bar that Chen Luo gave her.

"W-Don't talk to me yet. Shenhe's murderous aura and malevolent energy are quite strong. I need to digest it for a while," Chen Luo said, rubbing his forehead with his hand.

"Are you alright?" Shenhe asked Chen Luo with concern as he turned around.

"N-nothing, I just feel a bit empathetic. It must be so hard for you to endure this killing intent and murderous aura all this time," Chen Luo said, sitting in his chair with a look of utter despair.

Since this is a bar, it's very safe. That's why Chen Luo didn't use Primogem or crystals to dispel the side effects, but instead thought he would get through it on his own.

"Empathy?" Shenhe paused for a moment before looking at the Herrscher of Knowledge beside him.

"Oh, I see. Many newly formed inner demons can easily resonate with their first host and the next few early hosts. This is because they are not mature enough and are easily influenced. Alo is in this situation now. I am different, because my soul is not resilient enough, so I am completely unaffected," the Herrscher of Knowledge said proudly.

This kind of empathy and resonance is not actually a good thing. Although it may deepen the connection between the demon and the host, it has a negative effect on the demon.

A demon cannot be bound to only one host forever; the host is merely spiritual sustenance for it. Once the demon grows to a certain level, this situation will no longer exist.

That is why choosing the first host is a very important matter for the inner demon.

If it's just about absorbing the negative emotions of ordinary people in a broad, indiscriminate way, then there's no need to worry. However, a powerful first host can have Xiao Ying on the future growth of the inner demon.

A cunning host is prone to cultivating a cunning inner demon, while a volatile host is prone to cultivating a volatile inner demon.

In other words, the initial S is very important.

If you choose a good initial S-rank character, you can easily progress through the levels. However, if you don't choose a good initial S-rank character, you might even get stuck.

Shenhe, the host, seemed perfect in every way. He was decisive and ruthless, yet humane. Chen Luo absorbed the killing intent and malevolent energy.

If Chen Luo is truly a demon within himself, then this path will cultivate a demon that is decisive in killing, indifferent to desires, and single-mindedly striving for success.

Unfortunately, Chen Luo is protected by his talent panel, so no external force can change his mind.

However, this is for the best. In the eyes of the Herrscher of Knowledge, the current Chen Luo is the most perfect Chen Luo.

Chen Luo no longer needs external intervention; he can simply be himself.

"So, he's experiencing what I felt in the past?" Shenhe's heart skipped a beat.

"The current situation is like this. Your killing intent and malevolent aura are good materials for training people; it's good to hone them." The Herrscher of Knowledge nodded.

Such pure killing intent and malevolent energy can indeed temper a person, but it can also make a person more indifferent and ruthless. However, this is not a problem for Chen Luo. After he has gained enough experience, he can simply spend a crystal to dispel it.

"Is that so..." Shenhe looked at Chen Luo, whose eyes were closed and whose face showed a trace of pain, and slowly reached out and placed the back of his hand on Chen Luo's forehead.

If... Shenhe was only saying if, back when he was in dire straits, someone had come to his aid...

The power of the Cryo Vision slowly activated, and a cool but not cold aura traveled from Shenhe's hand to Chen Luo's forehead, greatly easing the struggle in Chen Luo's eyes.

"Uh, that..." The Herrscher of Knowledge was watching Shenhe eating the same chocolate bar as Chen Luo, suddenly spoke up.

"What's wrong?" Shenhe asked, looking up.

"No, it's nothing." In the end, the Herrscher of Knowledge shook her head and didn't say anything.

"By doing this, you've weakened the killing intent and its power attributes. If Chen Luo really wanted to dispel the killing intent and its malevolent energy, he wouldn't need your help at all." Although these words were true, the Herrscher of Knowledge was somewhat embarrassed to say them.

After all, it is rare for Shenhe, who is of a reserved nature, to take the initiative to care about others. Perhaps this can reveal more about Shenhe's humanity.

As Shenhe's attending physician, Herrscher of Knowledge was quite pleased with this situation.

Of course, if the other party wasn't concerned about Chen Luo, then the Herrscher of Knowledge would be even happier.

The way you're doing this makes me look a bit silly.

When Herrscher of Knowledge tricked Shenhe into accepting his negative emotions, he began to regard her as his patient. Although Herrscher of Knowledge was usually unconventional, Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Ding-a-ling!" The sound of the wind chimes indicates that guests have arrived.

At the same time, Chen Luo, who had been cultivating his mind with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

"Thank you." After thanking Shenhe, who had been pressing the back of his hand against his forehead, Chen Luo slowly removed his hand and stood up, feeling a little dizzy.

Primogem, my Primogem...

Shenhe watched silently as Chen Luo Yuyu to the back of the bar and sat down before turning his gaze to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Why does he work so hard?
