Shen Luo Said He Couldn't Help It; His Reputation Was Just Too Good

She reached her little hands behind her to cover her butt and couldn't help asking, "Why do you want to smack me..."

Shen Luo answered casually, "I like you, so of course I have to pull you."

"Huh??"

Furina's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.

Shen Luo actually liked her???

But they had only just met!

Although when they first met, Shen Luo had come straight up to hug and kiss her, and Furina had already had her suspicions then.

After all, Shen Luo seemed to have known her for a long time, but all Furina knew was that Shen Luo had pulled her from a card draw.

Furina had thought she was about to drown in the seawater. She guessed that Shen Luo had saved her, which was why she had arrived in this world in that manner.

But even if he was her savior, even if Shen Luo liked her, she still wouldn't agree to having her butt smacked...

Absolutely not!

Furina muttered, "No, you can't smack it."

Shen Luo looked back in confusion and only then noticed Furina covering her little butt, a stubborn and aggrieved expression on her face.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I was talking about pulling cards. What did this girl think I meant?

Forget it. I'll explain it to her tonight. Then Furina will know what kind of pull I meant.

Hearing She Long's voice, Ling Yuan and Gui Mei looked over together, both puzzled. What was She Long doing in Spirit City?

"What wind blew Elder She Long over here today?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help asking.

Normally, She Long and Pufferfish were rarely seen in Spirit City. They were said to be carrying out a secret mission over in Heaven Dou, but the other elders didn't know what the mission was.

She Long frowned. "If I still hadn't shown up, what would have happened?! You would have turned the place upside down!"

He looked at the devastated ground, most of it bearing the marks of flame attacks. It was hard to imagine how fierce the battle here had been before he arrived.

"You actor, just what kind of bewitching potion did you use to trick the elders of my Spirit Hall into killing each other?"

Shen Luo smiled calmly and offered no explanation. "Not convinced? Then come and fight me."

She Long was a ruthless man of few words. He immediately released his Martial Soul, Snake Lance, which swiftly transformed into a huge, fearsome serpent. Dense golden lightning encircled his entire body, giving him an imposing appearance.

Shen Luo stood up and raised a hand. Light and shadow flickered in the air as a water-blue sword appeared and shot straight at She Long!

She Long froze for a moment, then hurriedly dodged to the side. But the energy fluctuations from the water sword nearly knocked him over.

Yet when She Long turned around, he saw another water sword shooting at him through the air!

The water sword pierced straight through She Long's Martial Soul, shattering it. She Long fell to the ground, terror showing on his face.

Fast, too fast! There was no chance to react at all!

The actor was actually this strong...

Was the information wrong? This wasn't an illusion either, was it?

Just now, he had almost felt as though the blue sword was about to pierce his body, but unexpectedly, the actor had been aiming for his Martial Soul.

It seemed he had deliberately spared his life.

After getting back to his feet, She Long didn't dare confront Shen Luo directly again. Instead, he looked at the three elders ahead and asked with exaggerated winks, "Who exactly is he?"

To his surprise, the three elders answered in unison, "A god."

She Long: "..."

She Long: "Are you kidding me? He's strong, but if he were a god, why would he be here paying attention to you?"

Now he's starting to question me. Shen Luo frowned slightly, though She Long had a point.

What god would have so little to do that he would come over and pay attention to humans, unless he needed something from them?

Shen Luo didn't panic. He explained to everyone, "Before, I indeed wouldn't have needed to pay attention to you, but I've run into a small problem now. My divine power has disappeared."

He's still this strong even after losing his divine power...? The corners of Chrysanthemum Douluo's and Ghost Douluo's mouths twitched when they heard this.

Shen Luo had given them absolute benefits, so they believed what he said.

Shen Luo continued, "Although my own divine power has disappeared, I can still borrow the power of the avatars of these characters under my command. And to restore my divine power, I need help from the Soul Power of you Douluo Soul Masters."

Hearing this, everyone finally understood. No wonder they had to pay Soul Power first to receive his blessings.

Honestly, if he had given them away completely free, they wouldn't have dared accept them. After all, what was free cost the most; who knew what price they might secretly have to pay?

At least Shen Luo appeared sincere now, having told them the real reason.

Shen Luo spread his hands. "But are you losing out? You certainly aren't. I need Soul Power, and you need greater strength. This is mutually beneficial, nothing more than a fair deal in which you definitely won't lose out."

Ghost Douluo was the first to nod. "Lord God, you needn't say any more. We know whether we're losing out, and I believe everyone here knows it perfectly well too."

Li Er shouted from the crowd, "Of course we aren't losing out! And I never thought my one level of Soul Power could help Lord God. It's a tremendous honor!"

"That's right! When word gets out, who would have thought I'd once helped a god too!"

Shen Luo nodded.

People naturally weren't willing to help others for no reason, even if the other party was a god.

Shen Luo believed that if these people hadn't obtained Genshin Impact characters, they certainly wouldn't have spoken up for him.

What did that mean? It meant he had a good reputation!

Only after hearing all this did the bewildered She Long begin to understand.

He asked in great surprise, "What did you exchange your Soul Power for...? I don't know whether you lost out, but I do know you were far too reckless! That was Soul Power you worked so hard to cultivate!"

Ling Yuan smiled. "What did we exchange it for? Just bring out your Martial Soul and you'll know. Come on, fight me. It's the perfect chance for me to try out my handsome Diluc."

She Long frowned. "Bring it out, my ass. My Martial Soul was shattered. I can't summon it right now."

After speaking, he gave Shen Luo a timid glance. Whether or not Shen Luo was a god, his strength was certainly formidable.

A strong person could gauge another's level in a single exchange. There was no doubt about that.

Just then, She Long suddenly saw a woman dressed like a farmwife come up beside him.

She Long: "Who are you?"

The woman smiled simply. "I'm a farmer."

There were hardly any Soul Power fluctuations coming from the woman, but the phantom of a boy appeared around her. It was Bennett.

She Long was still wondering about it when the woman's expression suddenly turned fierce!

Holding Cool Steel, she jumped on the spot and kicked a fierce burst of flame from beneath her feet. With a boom, a scarlet field of energy quickly appeared beneath She Long, sending waves of heat spreading in all directions.

The woman who looked like a farmwife smiled. "Elder She Long, no need to thank me. This is the character I got from Lord God in exchange for one level of Soul Power."

She Long looked shocked.

And soon, he suddenly noticed a change in his body. His shattered Snake Lance Martial Soul was slowly taking shape again, reappearing in his hand!
