Chapter 258
But from Chen Li Fu Xuan and Pardo's perspective, a beautiful figure cast a glance at Pardo.
His image resembled a broken jellyfish, his tentacles smeared with paint, and shrouded in a spiraling staircase that seemed impossible to ascend or descend...
Fu Xuan's Dharma Eye allows him to see things that others cannot.
Chen Li is extremely sensitive to deities because of the God of Gluttony.
What was originally a one-woman show by Pardo has now involved three people.
"Hey, isn't this the Mysterious Aeon Mythus? Since you're here, why not stay for a meal?" Chen Li extended an invitation to the Mysterious Aeon.
Then, under Fu Xuan's slightly terrified gaze, he took a bite.
Hey buddy, what are you doing?
Then Chen Li actually kept the Mysterious Aeon's glance.
"Emmm..." Chen Li puffed out his cheeks and took out his Friends Circle Terminal to contact Little Herta.
Three seconds later, the figure of Little Herta appeared in front of Chen Li. Without saying a word, Chen Li lifted Little Herta's chin and kissed it.
"!!" by Fu Xuan
What the hell are you doing in front of me?
After a while, the Little Herta was released.
"Cough cough, great! Mysterious Aeon obtained!" Little Herta cheered.
But soon the Little Herta looked at Chen Li with a strange expression.
Because Little Herta noticed that when Chen Li was transmitting the Mysterious Aeon's gaze to him mouth-to-mouth, his tongue seemed to be a little mischievous.
Little Herta didn't feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, it felt quite comfortable. But that's the problem.
Chen Li, why are you so skilled at this?
Moreover... at the moment the Little Herta connected with Chen Li, it seemed to see many things.
This reminded Little Herta of the fact that everyone was talking about how you could receive the world's blessing in Hyperdimension state by kissing Chen Li while doing so.
He's very skilled at kissing the Herta; kissing can lead to Hyperdimension state...
Then, considering that Chen Li said he planned to ask the Great Herta for help in assessing the spider's effectiveness.
Little Herta's thoughts began to wander...
"You might not believe it, but my friend is dedicated to collecting a portion of all the Aeon, so I preserved a glimpse of the Mysterious Aeon for her and then handed it over to her. The mouth-to-mouth connection was truly a last resort," Chen Li explained to the people around him.
In urgent situations, expediency is necessary.
This wasn't the first time Chen Li had done this; in fact, Chen Li did the same thing this morning when Pardo was being watched by the Trailblaze Aeon.
Chen Li didn't actually need to be involved in every Path, or use the Destiny Invitation Key to invite every Aeon and then bite into it.
Chen Li could stay near those who would be favored by the Aeon and wait for an opportunity to act.
The gaze of the Aeon is considered the only point of intersection between the Pathstrider and the Aeon; being gazed upon signifies that one has embarked on a certain Path.
The Aeon's glance is not important; what matters is being qualified to be glanced at. Therefore, Chen Li consuming the Mysterious Aeon's glance will not affect Pardo, who has just embarked on her Mysterious Path.
But the same question remains... how do Propagation?
Forget it, let's just leave everything to the Joy Dice.
Just like when Chen Li came to the Xianzhou again this morning, he used the Joy Dice, hoping that everything would go smoothly for Pardo.
So far, things have gone very smoothly, and nothing particularly Elation has happened.
"Did you just eat the Aeon's Glance?" Fu Xuan kept repeating this question.
"Yes. This is actually related to a Miraculous Item I created— the Gourmet Cells: Miraculous Item that can eat anything," Chen Li explained.
"..." Fu Xuan reluctantly accepted this premise.
Yeah, Miraculous Forger can create any Miraculous Item, right?
... What the hell!
Although Fu Xuan had already gleaned some clues from Chen Li's provision of Revival Match link, which allowed him to revive people connected to him by watching ads, the idea that even the Aeon's glance could be consumed was still far too shocking.
Wait, Aeon?
"Chen Li, did you have contact with several Aeon, including the Aeon of Intellect, a couple of days ago?" Fu Xuan suddenly asked.
Fu Xuan suddenly remembered the absurd information he had obtained two days ago after using the Array of Universal Observation to divine Chen Li's location.
Like discussing with the Aeon of Intellect how to buy the Xianzhou Alliance.
Enjoy a candlelight dinner with the Devouring Star God.
Interact closely with the Aeon of Abundance.
Sharing a bed with the Nanook...
What If Chen Li truly possesses a power level related to the Aeon's Miraculous Item, then it seems not impossible that Chen Li has a close relationship with the Aeon.
"Oh, yes, that's right, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." After receiving the answer from Chen Li, Fu Xuan could only sigh.
The Aeon circle is really chaotic.
The old saying is true; one cannot judge Aeon from an ordinary person's perspective. That would be arrogance.
Just like you shouldn't think that Nanook wouldn't share a bed with someone else.
"No, Chen Li, how can you do this to the Lord of the Hunt?" Fu Xuan asked Chen Li suddenly, one hand on his hip.
Fu Xuan suddenly remembered that Chen Li had once interacted intimately with the Aeon of Abundance.
But Fu Xuan also remembered that Chen Li's character was blessed by the Hunt Aeon.
At least the power of the Hunt Aeon on the Peaceful Longbow that Chen Li took out cannot be faked.
But...
"What does this have to do with the Hunt Aeon? Oh... Don't worry, I'll be gentle with the Hunt Aeon." Chen Li suddenly realized something and assured Fu Xuan.
To be precise, Chen Li has not yet obtained a part of the body or a "glimpse" of the Hunt Aeon.
The Hunt blessing on the Peaceful Longbow doesn't count; what the Little Herta needs is "a part" of the Aeon.
This means that Chen Li will also need to launch an "attack" against the Hunt Aeon in the future.
Even with the Miracle Card "God of Gluttony, "Chen Li is not guaranteed to cause irreversible damage to the Aeon.
This is an optional option, not a mandatory one.
Just as Chen Li told Fu Xuan, Chen Li would go easy on him.
"What? The Lord of the Hunt also knows what you've been doing? And it's related to you too?"
Although Fu Xuan had indeed seen grand scenes before, wasn't this one a bit too much...?
"I don't know now, but even if the Lord of the Hunt knew, he probably wouldn't object."
"What? Lord of the Hunt doesn't know yet. Just how many people are you juggling?"
"Wait a minute, let me count..." Chen Li started counting on his fingers.
Nihility, Equilibrium, Voracity, Abundance, Erudition, Elation, and Beauty, plus the Trailblaze and mysterious experiences from Pardo.
"Alright, that's enough." Seeing that Chen Li's fingers were almost too many to count, Fu Xuan interrupted Chen Li's spellcasting.
The entertainment industry is really chaotic.
"My Great Augur, I have a feeling you've misunderstood something. My relationship with the Aeon isn't actually what you imagine..."
"I know this isn't just an ordinary relationship between Pathstrider and Aeon, right?"
That's true.
"Rather than a more harmonious, friendly, and cordial relationship, right?"
"More or less... but not entirely. My relationship with the Voracity isn't very good."
"I understand, I understand." Fu Xuan turned the ring Chen Li had given him with mixed feelings.
After having a candlelight dinner with the Devouring Star God, she then had intimate interactions with the Aeon of Abundance. It's normal that their relationship broke down after they were discovered.
"Then I'll ask one last question. Chen Li... which Aeon do you like the most?"
"Abundance," Chen Li answered almost without hesitation.
Because the Aeon of Abundance has a light and refreshing aroma.
Of course, Chen Li ate the horn on the head of the Aeon of Abundance, not the actual body of the Aeon of Abundance.
"..." Fu Xuan, who was originally considering whether to continue maintaining a purely superior-subordinate relationship with Chen Li, since competing with the Aeon was still too difficult, made a decision in his heart instantly upon hearing Chen Li's unhesitating answer.
No, in order to prevent Chen Li from defecting to Abundance, we still need to find a way to bring Chen Li into the Xianzhou Alliance camp.
Therefore, Fu Xuan will stop at nothing!
Since the Erudition has bestowed upon me the Dharma Eye, allowing me to see more things, I naturally must shoulder these responsibilities.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
If I'm not even willing to make this small sacrifice, how can I be the general of the Luofu Xianzhou?
Chen Li did indeed create Miraculous Item for the Xianzhou Alliance that could suppress Mara-Struck, but Chen Li is still the Divine Emissary Abundance.
Fu Xuan learned from Qingque that Chen Li had received the Aeon of Abundance of Abundance.
A 17-year-old like Chen Li could indeed be bewitched by Aeon like the Aeon of Abundance, who would never refuse any request.
Although Fu Xuan did consider whether his understanding of the relationship between Chen Li and the Aeon was somewhat flawed, no matter what aspect of the relationship it was, he absolutely could not let Chen Li fall in love with the Aeon of Abundance!
I'm going to bring Chen Li back to the right path!
Having made this decision Fu Xuan looked at Chen Li again.
"Hmm?" Chen Li sensed that Fu Xuan's aura seemed to have changed.
"Boss, boss, the power that the Mysterious Path has given me seems quite interesting," Pardo said to Chen Li with delight, interrupting Chen Li's thoughts.
"Mysterious Path... I remember there are two factions on this destiny chart, one is the Fictional Historian, and the other is the riddle teller. What type of ability have you gained?" Chen Li was very much looking forward to Pardo's ability update.
The combination of forces from different Worldviews is very likely to produce a chemical reaction.
For example, Pardo was originally not destined for the Mysterious Path, but because Pardo always liked to buy goods in her own world, she obtained the profession of Mysterious Merchant in Chen Li's world.
After continuously upgrading her Mysterious Merchant profession to level 10, she gained the Mysterious Deception trait, which allows her to imbue her goods with mysterious effects. Combined with her constant selling of Mysterious Jars outside the Tai Bu Division, this led to Pardo being noticed by the Mysterious Aeon...
It's hard to say whether the power of the Mysterious Path that Pardo obtained can be combined with other powers to gain even more magical power.
"Fake."
"???"
"To make people who have never seen me feel that I am familiar, and to make people who have seen me not recognize me, and to be able to use it to create objects that feel familiar to the other party, so as to sell them at a high price—isn't that counterfeiting?"
"Ah, this..." Chen Li hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Is it possible that this isn't considered fraud?
Is this considered fiction?
But... never mind, as long as Pardo is happy.
This ability is indeed suitable for Pardo, since selling mystery jars does make her a target for beatings.
If someone chases after you and shatters your Dao Heart by opening a can, you can use this ability to escape.
This ability can even be used to confuse enemies, preventing them from attacking Pardo immediately upon seeing her again, thus giving Pardo the opportunity to Overhead Toss.
Moreover, this ability allows Pardo to more easily infiltrate the lair of any target.
"Pardo, promise me you won't become a swindler, okay?" Seeing that Pardo's first thought after gaining this ability was counterfeiting, Chen Li said to Pardo earnestly.
"Don't worry, boss. There's a saying that goes, 'A true merchant only earns a limited profit.' Besides, I'm the righteous thief of Dusk Street, how could I possibly be a dishonest merchant?" Pardo patted her chest and assured him.
Pardo could even put a gold-plated milk tea worth over a million Credits as a prize in the jar... though that was for a big deal to come.
"Okay..." Chen Li nodded.
Come to think of it, to be able to become a bandit in Dusk Street at such a young age, stealing gang supplies to fund the Aponia sanatorium...
