Chapter 180

Najenda felt that the group members, especially Chen Li and Yakumo Yukari, had been of great help to the Empire, and they should benefit from it; otherwise, the Empire would have no one to turn to for help next time it encountered problems.

You can refuse to be a group member, but you can't refuse to give it to them.

Stimulating imperial consumption through the wealth of ministers can also achieve another form of industrial revitalization.

Chen Li agreed and then decided to use 30% of his wealth to "buy" Imperial Arms.

Chen Li wasn't actually interested in the Imperial Arms; Chen Li was only interested in the inscriptions on Imperial Arms. However, Extraction the inscriptions would destroy the Imperial Arms, so Chen Li had no choice but to buy Imperial Arms as well.

"Hey, Great Herta, are you still going to ask the Aeon of Intellect questions today?" Chen Li asked.

"Ask again this afternoon. Go play by yourself for a while. I'm really interested in this other world right now," the Great Herta said enthusiastically.

While the world of Akame ga Kill!! may not seem to have anything of value to the Herta, the concept of another world itself is a very important subject.

"Before, it was the Aeon of Intellect who stood you up, now it's you who stands up the Aeon of Intellect ... Fine, then I'll go talk to Jing Yuan."

Chen Li felt that he really should negotiate with Jing Yuan.

Although Chen Li was certain that the Xianzhou could not refuse Moe Ying Body, Jing Yuan was ultimately not the marshal of the Xianzhou Alliance and could not make such a big decision.

After Chen Li finished talking with Jing Yuan still needed to talk to the marshal of the Xianzhou Alliance, so they needed to give Jing Yuan more time.

Moreover, the Mara-Struck of his teacher, Jingliu, really couldn't be delayed any longer.

It's so frustrating to finally revisit the old town of Xianzhou, only to find that you can't enjoy yourself because you can't see the old sights.

Therefore, Chen Li decided to help others!

Sigh, you're asking who's having fun?

That's not important.

"Speaking of which, was Jing Yuan pleasantly surprised by the surprise Baiheng and Jingliu prepared yesterday?"

"I don't know if Jing Yuan is happy, but he's definitely shocked," Jingliu said.

Jingliu and Baiheng were living in the house that Tai Bu Division had assigned to Chen Li at this time.

How shocking was it?

"It was incredibly shocking."

"Unfortunately, little Jing Yuan couldn't stay with us for long. We only chatted for a few minutes before the new Grand Tai Bu Division, Fu Xuan, went into a panic after receiving Jing Yuan's will and started searching for Jing Yuan everywhere, causing chaos throughout the General's Mansion. Little Jing Yuan had no choice but to return to the General's Mansion to explain to everyone... It was all the work of the Masked Fool! Now the entire Xianzhou is searching for that Masked Fool who hung a pink sun in the sky, forged General Xianzhou Luofu's will, and caused chaos in the General's Mansion," Baiheng explained, shrugging.

Upon hearing Jing Yuan's reason, Chen Li almost lost his composure.

Who exactly led Jing Yuan astray, always blaming the Masked Fool?

"Forget all that nonsense. Teacher, I've finally forged Miraculous Item to heal Mara-Struck. Why don't you... give it a try?"

"Oh, is it finally finished? Have you tested it? How was the result?"

"The effect is perfect!" Chen Li took out [Moe Ying Body].

"It's a... very suitable Miraculous Item for you." As he said this, a genuine smile appeared on Chen Li's face.

"Hmm, why are you smiling?" Jingliu, who could remain calm even after removing the black cloth, felt something was off about the smile on Chen Li's face, even with Baiheng by his side.

"I am so happy for you that you have been able to get rid of the Mara-Struck. A teacher's duty is to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts. Jingliu, you have fulfilled your responsibilities as a teacher. The thought that you can be free from the torment of the Mara-Struck and successfully set yourself free makes me genuinely happy for you."

"Hmm." Seeing Chen Li's anxious expression, Jingliu's gaze softened.

Although Chen Li's wording wasn't very precise, the other party's Mind Jingliu was affected!

Jingliu always felt that meeting Chen Li, the Miraculous Forger, was the luckiest thing that had ever happened to him in the second half of his life.

It was because of this encounter that he was able to obtain the Miraculous Item to summon Baiheng as Heroic Spirit, fulfilling a long-cherished wish. And now, this other party has forged the Miraculous Item to resolve the Mara-Struck, and is so eager to use it on him...

It is truly unworthy of Jingliu.

I don't know how to repay you.

Baiheng, who was standing to the side, watched Chen Li and Jingliu staring at each other and felt that something was wrong.

Baiheng remembered that during his conversation with Jingliu, Chen Li had only learned the Cloud Knight Sword Technique from Jingliu. There shouldn't be such a strong master-disciple relationship between them, right?

Moreover, the way Chen Li looked at Jingliu was exactly the same way I used to look when I had a great idea and wanted to use it on my best friend.

Baiheng is a well-known idea king among the Cloudy Five.

"Come on. I'm ready." Jingliu nodded gently as he looked at the pink heart-shaped ornament in Chen Li's hand.

"Then... I won't stand on ceremony." Chen Li's fingers caressed the surface of [Moe Ying Body].

Just thinking about what was going to happen next made Chen Li happy for Jingliu — Jingliu could finally get rid of the Mara-Struck that had haunted her for over 700 years.

Although I'm not a professional strategy guide system, I think...

You know what I'm trying to say.

Okay.

The Pixie quite consciously shut its mouth.

You'll see what this is all about; everyone just watches without saying a word.

Let me tell you, you'll get stabbed if you keep playing with girls' feelings like this.

What? You've already been hit by the Jingliu Blade 998 times? Never mind then.

"Teacher, remember, no matter what happens next, I'm doing this for your own good!" Chen Li put his hand on Jingliu's shoulder and said with a serious expression.

"Okay... um?" Jingliu paused for a moment.

Why does Chen Li's statement seem so familiar?

Jingliu felt as if he had said the same thing when he was teaching Chen Li the Cloud Knight Sword Technique.

Thinking about all this, Jingliu suddenly felt that he had been too harsh in teaching Chen Li how to fight to the death within that knight training space.

Let's find a way to make it up to him later.

Chapter 212 Jing Yuan: Chen Li, your child with your teacher has grown so much? (10k Baiheng thinks that when Jingliu was teaching Chen Li one-on-one life-or-death battle in that Knight Space, he might have gone too easy on him.)

Otherwise, Chen Li wouldn't be so forgetful of what he'd been taught.

"Aww!" An adorable little girl with white hair was standing in front of Chen Li, taking out all sorts of strange snacks from her basket.

Chen Li, who always prided himself on being able to eat anything, paid little attention to the snacks and instead played with the white-haired little girl's face.

"The teacher who turns into a whiny little monster is so cute." Chen Li hugged Xiao Jingliu, who was nearly 1.5 meters tall, and rubbed his face against her.

"Eek!" Jingliu didn't resist, but continued to make that very cute sound.

"Hey, Chen Li, is this Miraculous Item of yours really legitimate?" Baiheng asked worriedly from the side.

To be honest, when Chen Li took out that pink heart pendant, Baiheng felt a little strange. It didn't seem like a proper or Miraculous Item, since those who know about pink hearts understand what they mean.

The fact that Jingliu's behavior after using this Miraculous Item made Baiheng even more worried.

Are you sure this Miraculous Item that can be used to cure Mara-Struck and not Miraculous Item you can use to amuse the Xianzhou natives?

"Don't worry, it's guaranteed. This Miraculous Item can not only suppress Mara-Struck, but also has a powerful healing effect on all complications related to or caused by burdens. It is the best choice for Xianzhou natives who fall into the Mara-Struck! It can cure the sick and prevent the healthy! Even with my teacher Jingliu's severe Mara-Struck, I will definitely cure him with just one use of this Miraculous Item!" Chen Li assured him while teasing little Jingliu.

"But you didn't say before that using the Miraculous Item would turn me into this." Baiheng sighed.

"I'm doing this all for the teacher's own good."

"But I'm worried about what will happen after the Jingliu recovers..."

"Hey, so what if my master gets stabbed a few times in a fit of rage? It's not like I haven't been stabbed before. Besides, you didn't let Baiheng off the hook either. There's an old saying in the Xianzhou: 'The pot calling the kettle black.' Note that you're the one who's a hundred paces behind." Chen Li retorted.

"Aha... It's not my fault. After all, little Jingliu is just too cute. I've never seen Jingliu like this before, so it's not too much to handle and play with him, right?" Baiheng scratched his head sheepishly.

It's only human nature.

After Jingliu was turned into a whiny monster by Chen Li using Miraculous Item, the first person he gave snacks to was Baiheng in front of him.

This is not surprising, or rather, it is to be expected.

Baiheng didn't let Xiao Jingliu either.

This is even more excessive than Chen Li's current actions of kissing, hugging, and lifting Xiao Jingliu high in the air.

"When will Jingliu be able to recover?" Baiheng looked at little Jingliu with reluctance.

Upon seeing the small Jingliu, Chen Li and Baiheng quickly discussed and decided on the time each of them would hold it.

Baiheng has used up Baiheng allotted time; now it's Chen Li's time.

"Once Jingliu has finished distributing all the snacks in her basket, she will turn back to normal, and once Jingliu does, she will no longer be troubled by the Mara-Struck," Chen Li said.

"Will we be able to see Jingliu again in the future? She's just too cute."

"Theoretically speaking, as long as there's a burden, this 'Whiny Body Virus will relapse. The simplest way is for Jingliu to eat back the snacks he distributed, which means he'll eat back his burden..."

"That definitely won't work," Baiheng said directly.

Although Baiheng also wanted to continue to interact with Xiao Jingliu in a friendly manner, he decided against it if it would put a real burden on Jingliu.

"If the pressure of daily work and life is too great, it can also trigger the virus, but Jingliu is unemployed, so he probably doesn't have that kind of pressure..." As he said this, Chen Li glanced at Baiheng.

The main reason is that Jingliu now has Baiheng by his side.

Without Baiheng, Jingliu is practically a lonely old man.

With Baiheng's Jingliu, Chen Li didn't know what kind of pressure Jingliu could possibly face.

Is there a pressure to Mana Transfer?

"Of course, there are other ways. Using this Miraculous Item can force Jingliu into a whining state, but it won't have any healing effect; it's purely for fun. I don't dare, because I'm afraid of getting beaten up," Chen Li said honestly.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this Miraculous Item can be used to cure the Mara-Struck; remember that the Moe Ying Body is actually a meme Virus, and as a virus, it must have the property of permanent infection.

Just like a zombie biting someone can turn that person into a zombie, it should be normal for Jingliu to be unable to revert back after turning into a whiny monster.

This One-star Artifact is fully capable of challenging the world, enough to transform a world into Tonghua world in a short period of time.

Moreover, it doesn't require much effort; just a little bit of Qiqi power is needed to activate the extraordinary state of this Miraculous Item and infect one person.

One person is enough to infect the whole world.

The most terrifying aspect of meme Virus is their insidious and extremely contagious nature.

"Excuses! Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up now?"

"That's different. Turning a teacher into a whiny monster when you're bored is different from turning a teacher into a whiny monster for the purpose of treatment."

"That's true..." Baiheng nodded subconsciously.

"Speaking of which, Moe Ying Body has a contagious effect from person to person..." Chen Li suddenly said.

"What do you mean?"

"It means that you, Baiheng, have also fallen victim to this."

"Huh?" Baiheng was taken aback.

"Go look in the mirror and see if you see pink hearts in your eyes. I've already removed the effects of the Whiny Body Virus on your perception, so you should be able to see them," Chen Li said.

"It really is... but why didn't I turn into a whiny whiner?"

"Because this Miraculous Item can be set to a do-not-disturb mode. When you have other things to do, it won't immediately turn into a whiny girl, but will wait until you have time. How about that? Pretty user-friendly, right?"

"That's so inhumane! I don't have Mara-Struck!"

"That's not how it works. All beings with burdens in their hearts will be affected. In other words, unless it's a mindless stone, no being is immune to the Whiny Body Virus. So you can also see it as a weakness of the Moe Ying Body. What If you don't want to become a whiny monster, you can choose to keep working."

In other words, the Whiny Body Virus in its do-not-disturb mode is actually ineffective against the Aeon, because the Aeon is always working.

It is God's job to bring Elation and amusement to the Aeon.

The work of the Aeon of Intellect is to think about problems.

The Nihility spirit of decay is also His work.

However... the do-not-disturb mode can be turned off.

Hopefully, no Aeon will be foolish enough to attempt this.

Otherwise, who knows how much of a "burden" the Aeon actually has.
