Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the hat on the other person's head, which was the same color as their clothes and had a gold five-pointed star with the character "dragon" engraved on it.

Well, Chen Luo wasn't quite sure if the other party was actually a dragon, because although he had an achievement related to Chen Luo, the problem was that the achievement level was only three stars, which would only increase the other party's favorability towards Chen Luo, but wouldn't have any probing effect.

However, Chen Luo knew that the other party was indeed very strong, after all, he could sleep standing up.

In fact, simply sleeping while standing isn't a big problem. Chen Luo had also tried this advanced technique for slacking off in class before. This was mainly because Chen Luo had stayed up too late helping out the night before, and when he went to class the next day, he couldn't concentrate, so he ended up falling asleep while standing as punishment.

Falling asleep standing up sounds impressive, but it's actually possible if you're really that tired.

The problem is that the girl's current posture is one that allows her to both attack and defend, as if she is about to fight.

The other person's posture was so professional that it was worthy of the position of a doorman, but it was obvious that their mind and body were not on the same page.

The posture was very professional, but the person was asleep. Chen Luo couldn't judge whether the other person was professional or not.

Hong Meiling a Chinese-style yokai (supernatural being) and a gatekeeper at the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion; in short, she's a security guard.

He is also a master of martial arts, serving as the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion's first line of defense against intruders.

While serving as a gatekeeper, he also manages the flower garden of the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion, working part-time as the gardener of the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion.

However, judging from the other party's current level of dedication, this security guard is practically useless. No, at least after hiring her, there's still a decoration at the entrance.

To be fair, Mei Ling is quite beautiful, and she would be a pleasant sight to behold as a decorative figure.

Wait, is it Hong Meiling or Hong Mei Ling again?

Never mind, it's not a big problem.

Ahem, although this gatekeeper is quite incompetent, his strength is quite comprehensive, with no obvious weaknesses. However, he is slightly inferior to a monster that specializes in a particular aspect of its abilities.

For example... it can't fly.

It's hard to Gensokyo that can't fly.

Although Youmu Konpaku Youmu can't fly, she's the fastest legendary runner on Earth. It's okay if she can't fly; I just need to be faster than her.

Seeing that Yakumo Yukari had brazenly ignored the sleeping guard, Chen Luo subconsciously used his master-level stealth skills, afraid of waking the sleeping guard.

Because he was often woken up by the Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo felt a strong sense of empathy for the poor sleep quality of others.

"Whoosh!" Several sounds of air being cut rang out.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Then came the sound of a sharp blade piercing into something.

Chen Luo subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, and then saw Hong Meiling, the main character, lying on the ground with blood gushing from her head.

"China, you're slacking off again," a cold voice rang out.

After Chen Luo felt a strange, distorted sensation, a silver-haired maid appeared in front of Chen Luo. At the same time, she walked towards Hong Meiling, who was lying on the ground, and pulled the throwing knife off her head.

Oh, what a thrifty kid! He even knows how to recycle throwing knives.

"Miss Sakuya, I didn't slack off!" After the Hong Meiling immediately hugged the maid's leg to protect herself.

"Oh, then who are these two?" Izayoi Sakuya asked, pointing to Chen Luo and Yakumo Yukari who had already stepped through the gate.

Izayoi Sakuya, the head maid who manages all affairs of the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion, possesses the ability to manipulate time and is known as the perfect head maid.

She has short silver hair, Maid Outfit, and has a free-spirited yet rational personality.

She can be described as the ultimate dream servant.

Who hasn't dreamed of having a head maid who they can hug, sleep with, and even turn into a useless person?

Okay, Chen Luo hadn't thought about it.

Chen Luo's goal is to turn everyone except himself into useless people, rather than letting others turn him into a useless person.

Ideally, we should go to a place where everyone else needs Chen Luo to feed them a meal; that way, we might get more Primogem every day.

"When did you two go in?" Hong Meiling turned her head, she was shocked to see Chen Luo and Yakumo Yukari, who had already crossed the gate and entered the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion.

"Just... just now."

"Miss Sakuya, I definitely didn't slack off just now. The reason they went in was because... because... that Yakumo Yukari next to her used her ability to pass directly through the door. I was just about to stop them!" Seeing that the die was cast, Hong Meiling thought for a long time before stammering out this lie.

"Alright, stop making excuses. I just watched them walk into the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion with my own eyes. China, you shouldn't have any objections to deducting a month's salary, right?" Izayoi Sakuya looked coldly at Hong Meiling, who had just stood up.

"I have a problem with that! I have a problem with that! My salary has already been withheld for five years!" Hong Meiling strongly objected.

"Besides, my name is Hong Meiling, not China!" Hong Meiling objected even more vehemently.

"Hmm? Hong Meiling?" Izayoi Sakuya frowned when she heard the name.

"... My real name, my real name is Hong Meiling, not China, Miss Sakuya, please remember it!" Hong Meiling was almost crying.

The only eccentric monster in Hong Meiling's Gensokyo... probably...

In any case, Huo Qing'e and Pure Fox are both Chinese beings, and neither of them are monsters.

"Alright, China. Got it, China." Izayoi waved his hand impatiently.

LOL, isn't "China" easier to remember than "Hong Meiling"?

"You two, get out of the gate right now! Don't make me take action." Hong Meiling realized that there was probably no hope of making the other party remember her name, so she could only think about whether she could keep her salary for next month five years from now. So she said to Chen Luo and Yakumo Yukari.

"Don't be rude. These two are guests that Miss specifically asked me to wait for here. Please don't mind them," Izayoi said.

"Since he's a guest... then why are you deducting my salary for next month?" Hong Meiling exclaimed in surprise.

"It's true that the other party is a guest, but it's also an undeniable fact that you're sleeping during work hours. Besides, this will give guests a bad impression that the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion has poor discipline. What? You have a problem with deducting a month's pay?" Izayoi Sakuya glanced at Hong Meiling.

"No..." Hong Meiling said weakly.

"China, don't be lazy anymore, or you won't get dinner tonight." Before leaving, Izayoi Sakuya glared at Hong Meiling.

"Please follow me, both of you." Izayoi Sakuya said to Chen Luo and Yakumo Yukari quite politely, but there was also a hint of coldness in her politeness. However, Chen Luo didn't mind, since he and Yakumo Yukari were not exactly proper guests.

"Miss Sakuya, right? Did the great and dignified Remilia Scarlet send you to wait for us here?" Yakumo Yukari seemed to have no doubts about Izayoi Sakuya's appearance, but Chen Luo was different.

Chapter 495 A "Majestic" Young Lady? No need for formalities, let's start laughing!

How did they know I was coming? Could it be... they used some kind of Destiny Ability?

When Chen Luo thought of the other person's Destiny Ability, he thought of his own Destiny Ability.

Chen Luo's Destiny Ability is definitely not weak, but the key is that Chen Luo can't master his Destiny Ability.

Chen Luo looked up at the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion. All the Crimson Thread of Destiny that belonged to him were cut off when he entered the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion, making it impossible to see where his destiny would lead.

In terms of Destiny Ability, Chen Luo is indeed weaker Remilia Scarlet.

"... Well, please ask about the specifics after you meet the young lady." Izayoi Sakuya glanced at Chen Luo with a complicated expression.

For a moment, Izayoi Sakuya couldn't tell whether Chen Luo was praising her young lady or making fun of her.

Majesty slowly? You really have the nerve to say that.

"The interior of the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion seems to be larger than the outside." This was something Chen Luo noticed as soon as he entered the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion.

"Since ancient times, the concepts of space and time have been related. So if you are very familiar with the control of time, it is possible to slightly affect space. This is called drawing inferences from one instance to another. In fact, time only exists in three-dimensional space. In higher dimensions, it has no meaning, and the same is true for space."

"So don't look surprised, okay? It's embarrassing." Yakumo Yukari said to Chen Luo with disdain.

"... It's just spatial expansion, who do you think you are?" Chen Luo said unhappily.

"Besides, I'm the Herrscher of Void, do you think I can't see something so small? But..."

However, while he could see it, Chen Luo couldn't achieve a spatial expansion as vast as the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion, where the inner world and the outside world were completely different.

Chen Luo's Herrscher Authority develops in a different direction than that of normal spatial ability users.

Although after the modification, she gained some of the abilities of other spatial ability users across a wide range and multiple fields, the Herrscher Authority are still better suited for traversing different spaces rather than expanding space.

The limit Chen Luo could achieve was expanding a small room of two or three cubic meters into the size of a student dormitory; anything more advanced was beyond Chen Luo capabilities.

It's not possible now, and it's uncertain about the future.

Izayoi Sakuya, who was walking ahead of the two, continued walking towards the hall without saying a word.

That's right, Izayoi Sakuya is the one who made the interior and exterior spaces of the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion different.

Although Chen Luo himself didn't understand the principles, Izayoi Sakuya could indeed manipulate space by controlling time, at least to the point of making the interior of the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion larger.

However, what really annoyed Izayoi Sakuya was that after enlarging the entire interior of the Izayoi Sakuya Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion, she faced an even more pressing problem: she couldn't keep up with the cleaning.

In a sense, it's a case of reaping what you sow.

"Speaking of which, the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion is so big, is it really possible to live there all at once?" Chen Luo asked as he walked through the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion.

"Who cares if we can live there all the time, as long as it's big enough, that's all that matters. Isn't that how rich people are?" Yakumo Yukari said.

"Bang!" Chen Luo, who was walking on the road, suddenly heard the sound of a plate being smashed.

Izayoi Sakuya was walking ahead, paused for a moment and then disappeared for a brief instant, but then returned to her position the next moment.

A short while later, a Kero elf-like child stumbled out from a door next door.

"Head Maid!" The elf was startled when she saw Xiao Ye.

"I've already cleaned up the vase. Be careful next time," Izayoi Sakuya said calmly.

"Ah, I understand." The elf nodded and then flew to another room.

A short while later, another elf ran out of the room.

"Don't run! Oh, it's the head maid! Little... Miss Sakuya?" The elf hesitated for a moment before calling out Sakuya's name after seeing Izayoi Sakuya.

"She ran over there." Seeing that the spirit didn't even remember her name, Izayoi Sakuya's expression changed, as if she became somewhat helpless, but she still kindly pointed out the direction the spirit had run away.

"Thank you!" The elf bowed gratefully before chasing after him.

"Those are fairies, a kind of incarnation of nature. They are born with the characteristic of being absolutely immortal, and even if they die, they will be randomly resurrected in another place, but they are very weak. Moreover, they may lose their memories after death. However, for these simple-minded fairies, losing a small part of their memories is not a big deal. There are many such fairies in the Mist Lake," Yakumo Yukari explained.

"I see... I was looking at those fairies earlier, and they seemed to be wearing Maid Outfit. Are they also maids from the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion?"

"They're just a bunch of fairies responsible for causing chaos in the heavens, not really maids. The young lady said the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion was too deserted, so she hired some fairies. They provide food and lodging, but you can't expect them to be of any help. It's already good enough if they don't give me any extra work." As a qualified head maid, even though Chen Luo and his companions were uninvited guests, Izayoi Sakuya still explained quite considerately.

Of course, it was also to show off the generosity and dignity of their young lady.

"I feel like Izayoi has it pretty tough," Chen Luo said sincerely.

There is only one maid in the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion, who also serves as the head maid; this is Izayoi Sakuya. She is the only human in the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion.

But Chen Luo had reason to suspect that the other party was no longer entirely human, at least not an ordinary human.

Izayoi Sakuya possesses the ability to manipulate time, which means she can pause time to handle the affairs of the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion. For example, just now she paused time and entered the room where the vase was smashed. After cleaning up, she returned to her original position to guide Chen Luo and the others. This is why her position shifted slightly.

Izayoi Sakuya was in charge of managing the entire Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion, while the fairies were responsible for adding to Izayoi Sakuya's workload.

Chen Luo always felt that the entire Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion was full of problems, and that without Sakuya, all of them would be doomed.

Think about it, besides Izayoi Sakuya, who else in the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion is reliable?

Remilia Scarlet is dignified but knows nothing about anything?

Flandre Scarlet, who may not have any malicious intent, but is extremely innocent and possesses dangerous and highly destructive abilities?

Hong Meiling, a security guard, sleeps in late every day and has never successfully guarded the gate.

A witch who is physically exhausted, panting after every step, suffering from anemia and severe asthma?

He's incredibly weak, probably not even as strong Cirno. He's Koakuma who usually just cleans the library and loves to play pranks.

Well, just like how Stand users attract each other, trash also attracts each other.

Tsk tsk.

The key issue is that the different groups of people in the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion have different schedules. Vampires are obviously active at night, while Patchouli, as a human, is active during the day, working 24 hours a day without rest. Chen Luo always felt that Izayoi Sakuya might suddenly die one day.

The Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion was indeed quite large. After walking around for two minutes and circling around for a long time, Chen Luo and his group finally entered the main hall.

Upon entering the hall, the once dimly lit but still visible mansion, illuminated by corridor lights, was plunged into complete darkness after Izayoi Sakuya closed the door behind Chen Luo.

Looking at the dimly lit hall and the thick curtains that were drawn to block out the sunlight, Chen Luo suddenly felt an urge to take out the food he had made.
