Moreover, Chen Luo promised the other party that he would give them the knowledge of Armed Puppet that he possessed, and even a master-level Armed Puppet maker could not make Armed Puppet of four stars or above.

"I'll compile some production data on the Armed Puppet for you later, and have Shenhe bring it to you in a while. Of course, if you have time, you can also come to the bar yourself. Actually, there are other gods and monsters in the bar, as long as they are not too big, you can come and sit for a while," Chen Luo said.

"Gods?" Cloud Retainer frowned.

"Anemo Archon Barbatos of Mondstadt," Chen Luo explained.

"Hmm, this person... it seems that if I have time in the future, I can indeed visit him." Cloud Retainer nodded.

If even Barbatos can go to a bar, there's no reason why I can't...

Chapter 309 [Sparrow Disturbs Sword Intent]

"Your trip down the mountain to witness the Seven Stars Immortal Conferment Ceremony is secondary; the important thing is to spend more time in the mortal world. I hope that through this opportunity, we can help Shenhe return to human society. Meeting in the vast sea of people is fate, but your fate is even more miraculous. The Zero Bar is a mysterious place that even I, the immortal, cannot fathom."

"Chen Luo, you are destined to meet Shenhe, so please take good care of her. Although Shenhe has been learning immortal magic from me and has already mastered it, she is very careless in her dealings with others."

"Don't worry, I understand." Chen Luo nodded as he listened to Cloud Retainer's nagging.

Honestly, it was truly a stroke of luck that Shenhe was able to get into Zero Bar.

Logically speaking, although Shenhe is an excellent holder of the Vision, and her own Solitary Star Calamity Physique is a good source of ingredients for inner demons, Shenhe is definitely not a high-quality customer.

Generally speaking, bars select customers quite randomly, but there are some patterns. For example, people like Venti, Yuyuko, and Rei are high-quality customers of bars who either love to eat or drink.

Yuyuko can provide at least 100 Primogem a day. Isn't that better than a monthly card?

Since Shenhe didn't have any particular obsessions, he basically just poured himself a cup of tea at Chen Luo's bar and then huddled in a corner watching the various aspects of life.

Many people came to the bar for the first time because it was their first time seeing a bar in the real sense, and many were invited to the bar by Chen Luo.

However, Shenhe was the only one who materialized the bar because he saw others enter it.

"Speaking of which, I remember many interesting things about Shenhe when he was a child..." After seeing Chen Luo agree, Cloud Retainer nodded in satisfaction, and then changed the subject.

Besides enjoying mechanical arts and delicious food, Cloud Retainer also loves chatting with people.

That's why he's known as a master of chatting; and here he is again, trying to get people to chat with him.

"Well, there's no need to say more about that." Shenhe suddenly spoke up, interrupting Cloud Retainer's spellcasting animation.

Although Shenhe's mind was suppressed by the power of the red rope, making her expression somewhat dull, Chen Luo absorbed a lot of killing intent and evil energy from her and unsealed several of the red ropes.

Therefore, Shenhe's expressions became slightly more varied.

At least Shenhe knew that these kinds of "funny childhood stories" probably weren't anything particularly interesting.

Bringing up these things in front of Chen Luo, at least, wouldn't be very friendly to me.

"Hmph, fine, if you don't like it, then I won't say anything more. You can go down the mountain now. Oh, by the way, Chen Luo, you're not from this world, are you?" Cloud Retainer suddenly said.

"Ah, yes, I'm a student from another world, currently on an academic trip as Traveler and puppeteer. Of course, I also work part-time as a bar owner." Chen Luo nodded.

"If you encounter any troublesome matters in Liyue Harbor, perhaps you can ask Ganyu for help. She is also a child I raised myself, and she is currently working as a secretary at the Moonlit Pavilion. She should be able to handle worldly matters," said Cloud Retainer after a pause.

If Chen Luo were a native of Liyue, Cloud Retainer wouldn't bother with these matters, but the key issue is these two people who are preparing to descend the mountain...

One is Shenhe, who knows almost nothing about human affairs, and the other is Traveler from Different World.

What if this leads to a conflict with the people of Liyue...

Cloud Retainer is very worried about the safety of Liyue.

Putting everything else aside, the gray-haired girl next to him, who was curiously observing the appearance of the cave, gave Cloud Retainer a fatal sense of crisis.

Cloud Retainer was certain that he could not defeat that seemingly young girl.

If they were to have any argument with Liyue's Millelith or any other individuals, Liyue would definitely be the one to suffer.

So if possible, it would be best if Ganyu could help resolve this matter.

"Ganyu? I understand. But please rest assured, Cloud Retainer, I am someone who rarely gets into conflicts with others, and I also have some gentle solutions of my own," Chen Luo assured him.

As Traveler, Chen Luo takes on commissions everywhere every day. He believes in making money through harmony. Even when he doesn't post commissions, Chen Luo rarely gets into conflicts with others.

If someone can clash with Chen Luo, then it means the other person is truly beyond saving.

Although Chen Luo couldn't guarantee anything in the Honkai World, on the Teyvat Continent, if someone was too aggressive, Chen Luo was 90% confident that the other party would never see the sun rise again.

Of course, there are only three people in Chen Luo's life who could make him do this.

One is Li Hao Er, the breeding material for a certain inner demon.

One of them is Yvette, who wants to kill Chen Luo and use him as a tool for provocation.

One is Serena is indeed somewhat pitiful in certain circumstances.

And that was it.

However, there was indeed a particularly unlucky and innocent person who was turned into a puppet by Chen Luo.

That's Xiao Ke'er.

Others, more or less, take a little of it themselves.

Xiao Ke'er was the only one who was truly unlucky.

Who told her to be so unlucky as to receive the task of monitoring Chen Luo? Chen Luo himself was only thinking about his own life and his family...

At that time, Chen Luo had no other better means, so he could only turn the other party into his own people.

Moreover, Chen Luo really didn't disturb Xiao Ke'er's life much, and even thought about making it up to her.

Chen Luo simply doesn't have any spirit stones yet, so he can't offer compensation.

Or, how about we take her to the Abyss Channel for a bit later?

Awaken some kind of second talent or something?

After bidding farewell to Cloud Retainer, Chen Luo and Shenhe and the others began their descent down the mountain.

"Your master is really good at taking long conversations," Chen Luo said to Shenhe with some admiration.

"Yes, indeed..." Shenhe could not refute this.

Rather than saying my mentor is good at chatting, it would be more accurate to say my mentor is good at rambling.

However, sometimes the things one's master says aren't very popular with the person being talked about.

This profoundly illustrates one thing: the longer you live, the more of other people's dark history you'll have on your hands.

Moreover, the Cloud Retainer is not afraid of leaving behind his dark history. After all, if he has a dark history, he can simply hide for 100 years and emerge as a hero again.

Cloud Retainer is really like Ganyu and Shenhe's mother. She likes to reveal their secrets in front of their friends and gets upset if they don't want to talk about them.

Sigh, if this Cloud Retainer really enters the pool in the future, Chen Luo will definitely draw from it, not for any other reason than to gossip.

The voice lines for Cloud Retainer at that time will probably become: Shenhe's funny childhood stories, Ganyu's funny childhood stories, Xiao's funny childhood stories...

Well, let's not discuss who's stronger between Xiao and Cloud Retainer, but Xiao definitely has a dark past.

"Shenhe, you've basically never been down the mountain before, right?" After sensing Shenhe's nervousness through his ability Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo started chatting with Shenhe.

This is called talk therapy.

"I definitely go down the mountain sometimes, but I usually just operate around Jueyun Karst, clearing out monsters and such. If we're talking about really returning to human society, it's probably only because I secretly went down the mountain behind my master's back and returned to my old village..." Shenhe said after thinking for a moment.

"So, how many unlucky people... have you encountered in these mountains while searching for immortality?"

Noticing that Shenhe seemed a little down, Chen Luo immediately changed the subject.

"Not many, mainly because very few people can even reach Mt. Tianheng. The others may have already perished in the bellies of demons on their way here..." Shenhe replied calmly.

"So, what kind of entertainment do you have on the mountain... um, is there such a thing?" Chen Luo asked after a pause.

"Meditation and spiritual practice," Shenhe replied.

"And going to bars," Shenhe added.

Shenhe's subsequent words touched Chen Luo slightly.

Unexpectedly, going to bars took up one-third of Shenhe's life.

From a purely rational perspective, this is indeed the case.

"So how high is Mt. Tianheng? Will we die if we jump down?" Chen Luo stood beside the mountain path and glanced down.

Chen Luo, so he definitely won't die, or rather, everyone present except Shenhe can fly.

Chen Luo asked this question mainly because Chen Luo felt that going down the mountain was too troublesome.

It would be better to just jump.

This is probably the consequence of playing too many games.

"... I don't recommend doing that." Chen Luo left Shenhe speechless.

Are you that wild?

Would someone just jump off such a high mountain?

"Hmm, Shenhe, would you like to try the feeling of flying?" Chen Luo suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Shenhe turned his head and glanced at Chen Luo.

"Come on, don't move, I'll equip you with a Wind Glider." Chen Luo suddenly took out an item from his backpack.

Chen Luo had previously thought of asking Venti to get him a Wind Glider, but then he thought that Venti himself had trouble drinking, so he gave up. However, Eula did give Chen Luo a silver-white Wind Glider after resolving the Stormterror incident.

Then Amber, seeing this, also gave herself a Wind Glider, but it was just a substitute version of the ordinary Wind Glider, which was like a backup machine.

According to Amber, a qualified scout knight needs at least three Wind Glider.

What Chen Luo is giving Shenhe now is that backup machine.

"Can this really support my weight?" Shenhe, who had been fitted with the Wind Glider by Chen Luo, asked somewhat uncertainly.

Shenhe felt that this thing was a bit too light.

"Don't worry, even if it really can't support your weight, or if you don't know how to use it properly and fall, I will definitely catch you and make sure you don't get hurt," Chen Luo assured him.

"Hmm." Shenhe nodded, and before Chen Luo could react, he jumped off the path at the edge of the cliff.

"??? Holy crap, why are you in such a hurry? Slow down. I haven't even explained how to use the Wind Glider to you yet." Chen Luo, who was floating in place, was shocked.

Is Shenhe He such a reckless girl?

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and chase after them!" The Herrscher of Knowledge tapped Chen Luo on the head before flying down as well.

However, it was clear that the Herrscher of Knowledge was not going to rescue Shenhe, but instead flew away on a sword.

Riding the wind on a sword, I vanquish demons across the land.

In particular, the Herrscher of Knowledge was indeed stepping on a giant sword.

"..." Chen Luo sighed and then disappeared from the spot, taking Little Sirin, who was a little at a loss, with him.

When Chen Luo appeared in the air using the Herrscher of Void's abilities, he saw Shenhe falling straight down.

Shenhe seemed to sense Chen Luo's gaze and looked up at Chen Luo.

Then Shenhe continued to fall straight down without any reaction.

This left Chen Luo completely bewildered.

Chen Luo genuinely didn't believe that Shenhe had no way to slow his descent, but the other party just stared at Chen Luo without using his Wind Glider or any other abilities, and then continued to fall.

After rubbing his forehead, Chen Luo disappeared again and reappeared beside Shenhe, falling with her.

Chen Luo sat cross-legged to the side as he descended, pondering how to teach Shenhe, this "brave warrior," the meaning of "think thrice before you act."

Fortunately, Mt. Tianheng was high enough that Chen Luo and Shenhe didn't reach the bottom even after falling for a long time.

The mountain wind seemed to suddenly exert an upward force several times, but it was useless because neither Chen Luo nor Shenhe intended to create wind, so these winds were of no use.

Finally, the wind started to pick up speed.

Chen Luo was fairly certain that the wind was created by Cloud Retainer. Seeing that the other party was in a hurry, he gave up thinking and changed from falling to flying, then gently hugged Shenhe.

After embracing Shenhe Chen Luo gradually slowed down, finally bringing the speed to zero just before falling to the bottom of Mt. Tianheng.

After gently placing it on the ground Chen Luo sighed with emotion.

I should have just used the Herrscher of Void's power to take Shenhe down the mountain.

"Are you alright?" Chen Luo asked casually.
