Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, the Archon's Curse Is Really Serious

Raven has never kept a pet, but Raven's really how it feels.

"Who said I kept him as a pet?" Chen Luo glanced at Raven.

"Hmm?" Raven frowned.

"I treated her like a wife."

"!!!" Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Raven's eyes widened instantly, its mouth opening and closing, but it seemed to have lost the ability to make a sound and could not utter a single word.

This, this, this...

"Hahaha, you don't actually believe that, do you?" Chen Luo laughed loudly when he saw the Raven who was completely shocked.

"..."

"Okay, to be honest, I actually treat it like family. I've never considered it an appendage of mine, especially since I didn't pay for it when I got it," Chen Luo said casually.

Chen Luo is a person who respects life very much. That's why, even though he has obtained the terrifying ability of the Thousand-Man Herrscher, he has only obtained 4 puppets so far.

Although Chen Luo kept saying that he would strictly select the quality of the population, he could still squeeze out a spot by discarding the previous puppets.

The most appropriate use of the Thousand-Man Herrscher is to use this ability to control others without restraint, and then replace them with more advanced puppets later.

But Chen Luo didn't think that way.

"What makes us human is that we have certain bottom lines. That's why humans are considered higher animals, although that's just a self-proclaimed title. Not wantonly killing life is one of my bottom lines," Chen Luo said.

"Oh, what if someone crosses your line?"

"Then let's lower the bottom line a bit more," Chen Luo said casually.

"... You are more suited to be a mercenary than I am."

"Just kidding. The reason why the bottom line is the bottom line is because it can't be lowered any further. If someone challenges the bottom line, I'll just hang that person up and smash them to pieces, isn't that enough?"

Chen Luo's method of solving problems has always been very simple and crude.

Chen Luo is actually quite fond of reasoning, but when he encounters someone who doesn't like reasoning, Chen Luo uses force to beat them until they are willing to reason.

"Little guy, do you know you were wrong now?" Chen Luo stood up, put his face close to the little fox, and tapped the glass jar.

"Waaah." The little fox looked at Chen Luo pitifully.

"It seems he knows he was wrong," Chen Luo nodded.

Of course, it's okay if you don't know you're wrong. At worst, you can just keep pickling it in the kimchi jar after it causes trouble again.

It's not that Chen Luo is soft-hearted; it's mainly because Chen Luo's already used to it.

So what if he wet the sheets? It's nothing. That White Fox used to pee on Chen Luo's pillow.

Then Chen Luo locked him in a kimchi jar for a day.

Yes, it's that kimchi jar right in front of us.

Unexpectedly, this kimchi jar has returned to its old use after several years.

That's rare indeed.

"Huh? It seems to have absorbed the marinade?" Chen Luo said with some disdain after taking the little fox out of the transparent glass jar.

"Eek!" Hearing Chen Luo's disgusted tone, the little fox bared its teeth at Chen Luo.

I'm completely overwhelmed by the smell, who do you think caused this?

"Alright, don't be angry. I'll give you some fried tofu later," Chen Luo said, patting the little fox's head from a distance.

The little fox was initially angry that Chen Luo was standing far away, but when it heard about fried tofu, it couldn't help but be tempted.

So the little fox was caught in a dilemma.

"See? So there's no need to worry about it getting angry. It's just a little fox. No matter how angry it is, a meal of fried tofu will solve the problem. Other fried tofu won't do; it has to be the kind I make. After all, I'm quite confident in my cooking skills. This little thing definitely won't eat any other fried tofu," Chen Luo said, pointing to the little fox who was caught in a dilemma.

"What a greedy little fox!" Raven thought to herself, suddenly realizing she had wasted her time showing concern.

Such a greedy little fox deserves to be taken advantage of.

"Eek!" The little fox wasn't deaf, so it naturally heard Chen Luo's words and sensed his contempt, and couldn't help but bare its teeth again.

"If one meal isn't enough, then two meals of fried tofu will do."

"Woo~~" The little fox's momentum, which had just been building up, weakened again.

However, that's two meals of fried tofu...

Okay, I'll remember this grudge. I'll go dance on his head tonight.

Although that may not be the exact meaning, that's the idea.

As for whether you'll be locked in a pickle jar after clubbing?

Ha, can you expect a fox to remember being beaten? At most, it can only remember being eaten.

Chapter 219 Yes Yes Yes, the Demon God's Curse is very serious.

"Hmm, a fox that tastes like pickled vegetables?" Venti stared at the fox eating fried tofu next to her, lost in thought.

This fox looks somewhat familiar, but I can't quite place where I feel like I've seen it.

Generally, deities like Venti remember people by their aura, not their appearance.

The Geo Archon has countless incarnations; you can't possibly remember all of Geo Archon just by recalling how it used to walk the mortal world.

Venti looked at the fox but didn't sense any familiarity with it.

Of course, the breath control isn't necessarily accurate and could be modified, but the chances of that are very small.

"What do you think of my pet fox? Isn't it pretty?" Chen Luo said, sitting at the bar and stroking a fish.

Although Chen Luo handed over the bartending job to Raven, Chen Luo still needed to be present for some important business deals, especially when Chen Luo with new customers.

Otherwise, Raven alone definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.

Everyone is wary of a strange and mysterious bar. If it weren't for Chen Luo, the owner with an initial friendly aura, new customers would easily leave.

Of course, since the ordinary tasks were assigned to Raven, Chen Luo naturally had his own things to do, such as making puppets and researching Fireball Technique.

Although it sounds strange, the slightly noisy bar was one of the few times Chen Luo could study.

"It looks beautiful, but there's a lot to eat," Venti said sincerely.

"And can foxes eat fried tofu?"

"Don't worry about that. I've mixed a lot of nutrients that foxes need into the fried tofu, and it won't affect the original taste. The fried tofu alone is enough to satisfy their taste," Chen Luo said.

"That's all for now. By the way, Luo, can I ask you something?" Venti said to Chen Luo with a grin.

"What is it?"

"To commemorate the fact that we just restored Tevyat to normal, and also to soothe my wounded heart, can I have ten cups of Wind God's Liquor? Can I? Can I?" Venti looked at Chen Luo pitifully.

Venti now looks exactly like the little fox who was trapped in the pickle jar earlier, looking pitifully at Chen Luo.

"Just now..." Chen Luo was a little sensitive to this word.

What do you mean by "just brought Tevyat back to normal"?

You drunkard, are you still half asleep? Is this what you call "just now"?

But thinking about it, Venti drank the alcohol in the morning and woke up at night, so it really felt like something had just happened to him.

No, I can't keep drinking like this.

How can a god be so muddle-headed?

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Of course." Chen Luo nodded solemnly.

"As good friends who have known each other for so long, how could I possibly refuse your request?"

Anyway Venti is just slacking off and not doing anything productive even if he doesn't sleep, so it doesn't matter whether he sleeps or not.

Feeling lost and confused?

Let it go.

Anyway, when this guy is awake, he just goes to Diluc's tavern to steal drinks.

"Thank you, Alo! Alo is the best!" Venti cheered!

I can consider this a service to the people.

"A ten-star commission?" Raven looked at the commission level displayed on the bartender's panel in surprise.

According to Chen Luo, a ten-star commission is a commission that must be reported to Chen Luo and executed by him.

According to Chen Luo, the people who issue such commissions are usually not simple individuals.

Who exactly is this green-clad bard in front of me?

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and get on it." Chen Luo said while sitting at the bar, slacking off.

"Oh." The Raven paused for a moment, then nodded.

Raven wasn't upset that Chen Luo made her pour the wine; rather, she was surprised that Chen Luo would make her pour the wine.

After all, this is a 10-star commission, which is worth $2,000 in US dollars.

Logically speaking, if any boss were truly unscrupulous, wouldn't they have left this kind of work for you to do?

"Hehe, Wind God's Liquor, my Wind God's Liquor." Venti now felt that he really couldn't live without Wind God's Liquor for a moment.

Ahem, I, Venti, am not indulging in alcohol; I'm just trying to resist Erosion!

Yes, it resists Erosion!

Hmm, to use Mr. Morax's words, that's how it should be said, right?

I'm doing something worthwhile!

"Speaking of which, it seems like it'll be Liyue's annual Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony in a while. Another year has passed so quickly..." Venti sighed slightly as he thought of Geo Archon Morax.

"Hey, isn't it today?" Chen Luo, who was sitting next to him, was taken aback.

According to the plot, shouldn't the protagonists rush to Liyue after rescuing Tevyat?

Although there is a long gap between these two storylines, the Mondstadt storyline and the Liyue storyline are actually only about half a day apart, and that half a day is spent traveling.

That's why the protagonist is so unlucky. In Mondstadt, he was wanted for stealing the Lyre of Winds, and then in Liyue, he glanced at the Rite of Descension and the Rex Lapis suddenly disappeared. The protagonist thought that the Liyue Qixing might not be a good person, so he tried to escape and was wanted again.

Later, when he arrived in Inazuma, he was wanted again for interfering with the Vision Hunt Decree.

Mondstadt is wanted for stealing the Lyre of Winds.

Liyue is wanted for fleeing the scene of the Rite of Descension.

Inazuma is wanted for interfering with the Vision Hunt Decree.

Although the storyline of Sumeru hasn't been released yet, Chen Luo has already planned it out for Lumine. She will enter Sumeru through some means at the beginning, and then accidentally stumble upon something big, resulting in her being wanted by the police.

During the manhunt, in order to clear his name and find out the whereabouts of his brother, he did something that shocked the whole country, and then met the Lesser Lord Kusanali.

Then the Lesser Lord Kusanali said he didn't know anything about Yingyan's brother, and recommended that the protagonist go to other countries to test the waters...

Perfect!

This cycle repeats itself in other countries.

Chen Luo pondered that if Lumine were to successfully navigate through the Seven Nations, she might achieve something remarkable.

[The Great Fool] (5 stars): He will be wanted in every new country he goes to, and will eventually meet the country's final leader, and become entangled with him and form a friendship.

Special ability: You are guaranteed to receive the highest honor in that country.

Perhaps...

"What do you mean 'today'? I can at least remember such a big day, okay? It's just four days from now." Venti slapped the table with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Although I, Venti, drink myself into oblivion every day, my memory is still quite good.

How could I possibly forget this kind of date?
