Chapter 182

"That's simple. We can randomly select a patient with a Mara-Struck and a patient who is about to Mara-Struck to conduct an experiment to verify the efficacy, and then film the process and make a video, right? If anyone questions the effectiveness, let them come to the Luofu Xianzhou to try it themselves," Chen Li said.

"That's a good idea, but it's easy to find patients with Mara-Struck, but where can we find patients who are about to become Mara-Struck? Could it be..." Jing Yuan subconsciously turned his gaze to Jingliu.

"Jingliu is almost recovered now. You can't bear to let her eat back the snacks she gave away and return to the edge of the Mara-Struck, can you?" Chen Li said.

"Mm." Jing Yuan nodded.

It's too late to film now, because Jing Yuan doesn't have the original video of Jingliu being affected by the Miraculous Item and turning into the Yingying Monster.

"Where can we find someone with unwavering will who walks on the edge of memes?" Jing Yuan fell into deep thought.

"Jing Yuan, do you know? You've fallen into a misconception," Chen Li reminded him.

What misconception?

"Finding someone who truly walks on the edge of the Mara realm may not be convincing; you need to find someone that everyone believes is on the edge of the Mara realm to conduct experiments with."

"That makes sense, but where can we find such a person..." Jing Yuan was pondering whether there was a suitable candidate on the Luofu Xianzhou.

Chen Li is right, and what he says is convincing. The important thing is that it is convincing.

Sometimes the "facts" don't matter.

After pondering for a long time, Jing Yuan looked up to ask Chen Li if he had any good suggestions, only to find that Chen Li's gaze was fixed on him, and he remained motionless.

Motionless...

"..."

After a moment of surprise, Jing Yuan sensed something was wrong and instinctively tried to snatch the Miraculous Item that Chen Li had placed on the table.

"Waaah!"

But clearly, Jing Yuan's hand speed was not as fast as Chen Li's mouth speed.

The pink light directly shone on Jing Yuan's face.

Jing Yuan's last thought before losing consciousness flashed through his mind—*@#￥%&*!

"I'm sorry, we were wrong."

"... It's good that you know you're wrong." Looking at Chen Li and Baiheng sitting in front of him, Jingliu couldn't bring himself to do it for a moment.

One is a companion he has longed for for 700 years, whom he has finally awakened; the other is a disciple who has given him the power to awaken his companion after 700 years of yearning. What else can Jingliu do?

Although the way this Miraculous Item healed the Mara-Struck was somewhat unexpected for Jingliu was not a rigid person. As long as the goal could be achieved, a slightly bumpy process was not a big problem.

Moreover, if Jingliu remembers correctly, Chen Li initially wanted to create Miraculous Item that could suppress Mara-Struck because of himself.

Now that Chen Li has fulfilled his promise, he naturally has nothing left to complain about.

Although the process was not quite what I had imagined, at least the result was good.

"Is this little thing next to me Jing Yuan?" Jingliu turned his head to look at the little thing that was opening its arms and offering him snacks.

Just as Jingliu came to his senses and finished receiving his Remembrance, his face gradually turning red, Chen Li swiftly shielded Baiheng and Xiao Jing Yuan in front of him.

This tactic proved to be very effective.

Especially after Jingliu saw that Jing Yuan was just as unlucky as he was, Jingliu inexplicably felt comforted.

It's not just me who's unlucky; there's someone even more unlucky than me.

At least I accepted this Mara-Struck treatment willingly. Although I didn't know I could become a whiny monster, I did it voluntarily.

Jing Yuan was forcibly treated even though he knew that being treated would turn Mara-Struck into a whiny monster.

"Obviously. Little Jing Yuan is quite cute. He looks like a little poodle."

"Waaah!"

"Okay, it's a whiny whiner," Chen Li changed his tune.

"What's with the whining? Are they all this short?" Jingliu asked casually.

"It's different. The height of a whiny monster is determined by the burden on the person being treated. If the burden is very light, the person is quite carefree, or has just been treated by Moe Ying Body and is under a bit of pressure and is treated again, the height will be around one meter. The heavier the psychological burden, the taller the person will be after becoming a whiny monster, but the maximum height will not exceed 1.6 meters, otherwise it won't be cute..." Istina explained.

Why does it have to be associated with cuteness?

"Because I created it using the concept of childlike innocence, this wondrous Miraculous Item is, of course, adorable," Chen Li said matter-of-factly.

However, Chen Li didn't know why the standard for cuteness was 1.6 meters... It couldn't possibly be because Captain Levi is 1.6 meters tall, could it?

"Jing Yuan's height... is almost 1.5 meters, right?" Jingliu frowned.

"To be precise, it's 1.46 meters tall, but after you become a whiny girl, your height is about 1.45 meters. I measured this myself, and there's almost no error!"

"..." Jingliu's forehead veins bulged.

Could you please not mention the matter of you personally measuring my height in front of me?

Jingliu felt that he had gone a bit too easy on Jingliu back then in the Knight Training Space.

"Jing Yuan's height of 1.46 meters proves that Jing Yuan is under a lot of pressure," Chen Li remarked.

It is not the case that Jingliu has a Mara-Struck while Jing Yuan does not, that means Jing Yuan is under less pressure than Jingliu.

Jingliu's possession of the Mara-Struck was mainly due to Baiheng's death and Dan Feng and Ren's attempt to revive Baiheng using the Miraculous Dragon Transformation Method. As a result, they revived an Abomination Dragon, which wreaked havoc on the Xianzhou. Under repeated attacks, Jing Liu instantly turned red-hot.

Although Jing Yuan did not acquire the Mara-Struck during that incident, it was because Jing Yuan was young enough.

However, in the 700 years following the Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion, Jing Yuan endured pressure alone on the Luofu Xianzhou for 700 years, making him a legendary pressure-endurance king. Therefore, the pressure Jing Yuan bore was no less than that of Jingliu.

What was that saying again?

Dying is not courage; living is.

Don't take the Mara-Struck as the standard; it will distort the resilience of the Xianzhou natives.

Just because Jingliu killed the Abomination Dragon while Jing Yuan didn't, doesn't mean Jingliu was the MVP and Jing Yuan was just an easy winner.

Furthermore, the age of the Xianzhou natives, who are actually Mara, is around 1,800 years old. Jing Yuan has lived far too long...

It has been a long time since some high-ranking members of the Immortal Continent Alliance felt that General of the Divine had become senile and was no longer suitable to serve as general; they just hadn't found a suitable reason yet.

For the Xianzhou natives, having too long a lifespan is sometimes a curse.

"I can understand Jing Yuan. If I were to be a general for 700 years... Oh, I'm Foxians and can't live for 700 years, so it's alright." Baiheng, who was next to Chen Li, nodded seriously before realizing what was going on.

"If you're interested, I also have some of the Blessing of the Aeon of Abundance, enough to extend your lifespan by ten thousand years. Or you could simply continue fighting in your Heroic Spirit form; Heroic Spirits have an infinite lifespan," Chen Li said, turning his head.

"Let's forget about the Gift of Abundance... Speaking of which, if I die of old age, can I be resurrected using Resurrection Card?"

"Absolutely no problem. Resurrection Cards aren't that inconvenient. As long as you can win the Revival Match, it's fine. Speaking of which, have you really not considered fighting as Heroic Spirit all the time?"

"I don't see any inconvenience in this, but Jingliu said she has some important things to do in a while and it's inconvenient for her to take me with Travel Together."

"It's okay, my teacher doesn't want you anymore, she can pass you on to me. Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure." Chen Li gave a thumbs up.

"Bang!" Chen Li was not surprised to be beaten by Jingliu.

"Well done! What does it mean to have an elder in the family? Am I that old? I'm only..."

"I'm only 17," Chen Li reminded him.

"That's all."

"Where were we?" Jingliu didn't really want to continue this topic.

Because Jingliu is over 1000 years old this year.

However, the suggestion to pass Baiheng to Chen Li is worth considering... After all, following Chen Li means you'll have a good time every day.

Although Chen Li's usual behavior seemed a bit too Elation, Chen Li always insisted that he was accumulating Joy Points in order to Deliverance.

Chen Li 'Chen Li speeches occasionally conveyed a sense of sincerity to those who heard them...

Because Chen Li is truly Deliverance.

For example, using the Joy Dice to protect Haruhi Suzumiya.

Thanks to Jing Yuan and Jingliu, Chen Li's Joy Points have now reached 6 points. After finding some more fun, he can get down to business.

"I chose Jing Yuan as the first person besides you, Teacher, to use the Moe Ying Body in the Xianzhou natives, just to help relieve some of his pressure. In addition, Jing Yuan's Friends Circle Terminal is currently filming Jing Yuan in one continuous shot, which will be used as material to be submitted to the higher-ups of the Xianzhou Alliance. In short, I'm doing all this for Jing Yuan's own good."

"..."

Jingliu felt that Chen Li's words sounded familiar.

Didn't Chen Li say this before she turned herself into a whiny person?

"A one-shot filming? Does that mean we were also filmed?"

"Don't worry, there's post-production editing! So you can treat Xiao Jing Yuan however you want, no one will find out," Chen Li said.

Chen Li said she wouldn't edit the video, does that mean she really won't edit it?

Some people say that working 996 is a blessing, but is it really a blessing?

"There's nothing to be taken lightly. I'm not interested in whiny people." Jingliu shook his head, sheathed his longsword, and took the snacks that Jing Yuan wanted to give him.

However, looking at Jing Yuan, who was practically a tiny little thing in front of him, reminded Jingliu of his past days.

"Teacher, if you're not interested, then I'll turn you back." Seeing that Jingliu's expression wasn't just stubbornness, but genuine disinterest in toying with Jing Yuan, Chen Li nodded.

"Okay... wait, what do you mean by 'revert back'? Isn't the whiny state supposed to end after you give away snacks?" Jingliu was taken aback.

"But the problem is, Jingliu, you haven't finished giving away all the snacks. You haven't given Jing Yuan his share. Now, teacher, you seem to have returned to normal, but actually, I've fabricated your current state from when you were in Moe Ying Body. I haven't finished playing with little Jingliu yet, so of course I can't let go so easily," Chen Li explained.

Leaving aside Jingliu's reaction, Baiheng, who was squatting on the ground with Chen Li reflecting on his actions, looked at Chen Li with surprise. Clearly, Baiheng was unaware of this matter.

Warriors! True warriors are those who dare to charge against their masters!

You really know how to Face-to-Face Ult!

"You traitorous disciple!!"

"Snap!" Chen Li snapped his fingers, ending the virtual state.

"So be it, I'll just be a traitor." Chen Li muttered to himself as he pinched the cheek of Xiao Jingliu, who had "returned to normal" beside him.

"Waaah!" Little Jingliu did not resist Chen Li's ravaging.

"Aww!" Jing Yuan ran up to Chen Li and handed him his snacks.

"Oh, do I have one too? Thank you." Chen Li patted Jing Yuan's head and decisively took a photo together before letting go of little Jing Yuan.

After distributing snacks to the three people present, Xiao Jing Yuan slipped out through the crack in the gate of the General's Mansion, just like Xiao Jingliu, clearly to go and distribute snacks to someone he was on good terms with.

When Yingying Monster is in her transformed state, she won't attract anyone's attention, so there's no need to worry about Jing Yuan getting into any trouble while delivering snacks.

Theoretically speaking, Xiao Jing Yuan's current combat strength is slightly stronger than that of Path of The Hunt Envoy Jing Yuan.

At least the Path of The Hunt Envoy Jing Yuan from harming Xiao Jing Yuan, but Xiao Jing Yuan could pull out a pink hammer and strike the Path of The Hunt Envoy's Jing Yuan.

[This is how we Jing Yuan players are: we've never won a fight, but we've never lost a story mission.]

"Beep beep!"

Chen Li's Friends Circle Terminal started vibrating. After opening it, he found that Qingque was sending him a private message.

[Qingque]: My dear Li, what exactly did you do to the Great Augur?

[Chen Li]: What happened?

[Qingque]: The Great Augur says he's going to use the Array of Universal Observation to arrest you! Let me show you what real divination is all about!

[Chen Li]: Huh? All I did was challenge Fu Xuan to a divination contest. Wasn't it a bit of cheating for her to use the Array of Universal Observation?

[Qingque]: This time, the Great Augur is determined to teach you a "small" lesson. As you know, the Array of Universal Observation is a powerful tool of the Tai Bu Division. Given enough information, it can answer any question. The talismans and principles within it have been inquired of the Erudition. Are you sure you can avoid it? Please, don't let any blood splatter on me!

Qingque said this because among all the Tai Bu Division, Qingque and Chen Li were the closest.

If Chen Li fails the test and is arrested by Fu Xuan will definitely say that Qingque led Chen Li astray and prevented Chen Li from seriously studying divination knowledge.

However... Qingque suddenly felt that if Chen Li hadn't been arrested, it seemed that she would be the one who would suffer, probably because. "You have such strong divination skills, but you led me astray and used them to slack off!"

Why is it that Chen Li is the one who skips work, and Chen Li is the one who initiates the challenge, but it's me who suffers the consequences?

Qingque fell into deep thought.

[Chen Li]: No problem! I'm immune to all fate-related divination, but isn't this a bit too unskilled?

[Qingque]: What do you mean? What are you planning to do?

[Chen Li]: I think I might need to use my extraordinary connections to teach Fu Xuan a lesson!
