Their commission was suspicious.

However, healing the lion scorpion by patting its head doesn't seem to affect its abilities.

"Huh? Has Rhodes Island made any technological breakthroughs in curing Oripathy?" Manticore asked somewhat uncertainly.

The Manticore knows Rhodes Island quite well. Rhodes Island probably hasn't made any technological breakthroughs in this area yet, right?

"Rhodes Island doesn't have it, but I do. So tell me, do you believe me or not?"

"I believe you, of course I believe you. So what do I need to do now?" The lion scorpion nodded hurriedly.

The manticore is like a friendless person who has just found a friend, and is therefore a pitiful creature willing to do anything to maintain this friendship.

Eager to prove themselves and to maintain this friendship and affection.

If Chen Luo said he was injured and needed a kiss to recover, he might actually be able to fool someone.

Poor little lion scorpion...

"Sit next to me," Chen Luo said to the Lion Scorpion, while holding little Kal'tsit who was sitting on his lap.

The fusion rate of the lion scorpion's somatic cells with Originium reached 12%, while the Originium crystal density in its blood reached 0.32.

However, the lion scorpion's appearance doesn't reveal many abnormalities because the Originium growing on its body is mostly located within its internal organs, resulting in a high Originium content in its internal circulatory system.

Chen Luo disliked treating this type of Oripathy the most, because if he were to cure the manticore using conventional methods, he would have to open up the poor little manticore's stomach... well, perform surgery.

Then, remove the organs with excessively high Originium concentration from the Lion Scorpion's body and replace them with new ones.

But this makes it look unusually bloody.

However, if the Originium grows on the outside, it's different. Chen Luo can simply cut off a part of her body and then sculpt a body that fits her current position, such as an arm.

Although it still looks bloody, at least it doesn't involve disembowelment.

Because the fusion rate of the lion scorpion's somatic cells with Originium and the density of Originium crystals in its blood are very high, it will take Chen Luo a lot of time to treat it. Now Chen Luo is sitting in a chair with little Kal'tsit in his arms, while the lion scorpion is sitting behind the chair. If he were to touch its head, the posture would be awkward for Chen Luo for a long time.

Under Chen Luo's instructions, the lion scorpion obediently came and sat down next to Chen Luo.

"Come closer, why are you so far away?" Chen Luo said with a dark face, looking at the Lion Scorpion sitting on the other side of the chair.

The chair Chen Luo was sitting on was a bench. Although Chen Luo didn't understand why Kal'tsit would put a bench on the bridge, you have to admit, sitting on this bench and looking at the scenery in the distance felt pretty good.

Chen Luo sat slightly to the left of the middle of the bench, while Lion Scorpion sat directly on the far right—yes, the far right!

Chen Luo waved his hands but couldn't reach the lion scorpion.

Why would you even pat someone's head?

"Get any closer, are you afraid I'll eat you?" Chen Luo couldn't help but say after watching the lion scorpion move three centimeters closer in three seconds.

Three centimeters isn't enough.

Seeing the embarrassing look on the lion-scorpion's face, Chen Luo finally couldn't stand it anymore. He picked up Kal'tsit, who was sitting on his lap, and placed her beside him. Then, he said to the lion-scorpion in a commanding tone, "Now put your head on my lap. Immediately!"

"Yes!!!" Chen Luo's tone startled Lion Scorpion. As a qualified operator, Lion Scorpion was indeed carrying out orders.

The moment it received the order, it obediently lay down on Chen Luo's lap, but the lion scorpion's body remained tense.

"Sigh." Chen Luo sighed.

Will a mantis scorpion, being so cautious, really be able to make friends in the future?

Chen Luo was very worried.

I should introduce her to the bar later. I imagine Kato Megumi, Xiao Ke'er, and Lion Scorpion would have a lot in common, especially Kato Megumi.

Although Chen Luo applied for 32 identities in this world, he was not afraid at all of people from this world entering the bar.

At least I'm not afraid anymore.

Because Chen Luofeng's background is so complex, even if it were more complex, it would still be easy for people to accept.

Even Wendy, the bar's first customer, still doesn't know how many worlds Chen Luo has been to or how many identities he's had.

But not now. Chen Luo will spend a long time discussing the treatment of Oripathy with the Book of Akasha in a while.

If we invite the people of Terra to a bar now, they won't be able to go for several days. Wouldn't that be pitiful?

Chen Luo didn't know what others thought, but according to Wendy, he couldn't live without bars anymore.

The bar is full of talented people who are all very charming, and they also offer free food and drinks. Who could resist?

As for his sister, Chen Luo has already spoken with her, and she promised to take a nap sometime later.

Your sister is quite reliable in this regard. Although she's also an alcoholic, she also likes to sleep.

They can sleep for days, weeks, months, or even years without any problem.

However, your sister told Chen Luo to remember to wake her up once after he finished using up his time in Terra and the bar.

It seems that even your sister couldn't resist the temptation of fine wine.

Now Chen Luo still needs to think about how to deal with Skadi's problem and make her stay put for a while.

Therefore, it's impossible for Chen Luo to bring the people of Terra to the bar right now; if he did, he would have to persuade even more people later.

The lion scorpion was very nervous about lying on Chen Luo's lap, so much so that he often wondered if things were progressing too fast between them.

However, when Chen Luo placed his hand on the manticore's hair, the manticore's body slowly relaxed.

Because the lion scorpion has a tail, it was lying on its side on the chair. The head pat gave people a sense of security and made them very relaxed. Under Chen Luo's gentle touch, the lion scorpion slowly stretched out its originally curled-up body.

This is proof that the lion scorpion's sense of security has been replenished.

When people lack a sense of security, they tend to curl up.

Yes, and also when I get into bed and it feels cold.

This is a normal physiological response.

Because Chen Luo would do the same thing.

But Chen Luo changed his habit after several armed dolls started appearing in his bed.

Kal'tsit, sitting on the other side of Chen Luo and watching Chen Luo interact with the Lion Scorpion, remained silent, but sped up the speed at which she licked her lollipop.

Chen Luo, who was stroking the manticore's head, noticed Kal'tsit's little action, but did not stop her.

That's right, it's just a subtle trick.

It's surprising that the old lynx was quite clever when it was young.

The lion scorpion, whose head was being patted by Chen Luo, was so weak that he almost collapsed onto the recliner.

The head pat is indeed a very powerful skill that can dispel curses and even physical curses on the body. However, its side effects are also obvious: it can easily make people become clear-headed but foolish.

If you pat someone's head for too long, it can even cause irreversible effects. However, the good news is that this irreversible effect has no impact on a relatively simple person like a lion or scorpion.

The head pat isn't some kind of demon; he just wants everyone to become pure.

Moreover, a head pat won't affect intelligence; it will only affect one's mindset and can calm down a person who is originally destructive.

As I always say, don't mess with or be messed with by people who are cunning.

Don't touch those who do bad things, and even more so, don't let them touch you.

The longer you touch it, the longer the effect lasts. Touching the lion scorpion for 4 minutes can be considered a permanent effect, but the effect is 0, so it is roughly equivalent to no effect.

While others pet cats, Chen Luo pets a manticore, and the feel of it is absolutely amazing.

If Chen Luo wants to pet the cats at the same time, that's not impossible, since there's a big cat right next to him.

When a kitten is young, a big cat is roughly the same size as a cat. So there's no problem.

Just as Chen Luo was enjoying being surrounded by women on both sides, after four minutes, little Kal'tsit finally finished the lollipop that Chen Luo had given her, which she absolutely couldn't refuse.

Seeing that the lollipop was finally reduced to just a stick, Kal'tsit breathed a sigh of relief and then slapped her thigh hard.

"Bang!" At the moment of being attacked, a golden light emanated from Little Kal'tsit's body, but it shattered after a second.

That was that one second of invincible time.

After being released from his childlike state, Kelshgan's first action was to twist Chen Luo's head off!

"Crack!" A crisp sound came from Chen Luo's neck.

"Hmph!" Kal'tsit clapped her hands and stood beside the bench, arms crossed, looking somewhat angry.

Kal'tsit turned her head in the opposite direction from Chen Luo, because if she looked directly at Chen Luo, he would see the blush on her face.

Even for Kal'tsit, calling someone else "Dad" was a bit too much.

What kind of big scenes hasn't Kal'tsit seen?

But I've never actually seen this before.

"Dr., Doctor." The Lion Scorpion looked at Chen Luo, whose neck was twisted to a slightly higher degree, with some fear.

"Calm down, calm down, you'll get used to it," Chen Luo said after turning his neck back.

Although Chen Luo often says that he is just an ordinary person, his physical strength is actually very high.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time the old lynx had done this to Chen Luo.

In the storyline, when Chen Luo was slacking off, Kal'tsit would often try to use this method to provoke his fighting spirit, and Chen Luo would usually choose to play dead.

Kal'tsit was completely helpless in this regard.

"Kal'tsit, turn your head." Chen Luo called out to Kal'tsit, who was facing away from him.

"Crack!"

Kal'tsit didn't want to turn around, but Chen Luo called her "baby."

Chapter 1329 Chen Luo, the scapegoat investor of Rhine Life

The good news is that Kal'tsit wasn't completely facing away from Chen Luo; Chen Luo couldn't see Kal'tsit's face mainly because she had turned her head away.

The bad news is that Kal'tsit still sprained her neck because she twisted it too quickly.

The ending is that when Warfarin came to the top of the bridge to remind Chen Luo that it was time for his surgery, she saw two people sitting on a bench on the bridge, clutching their necks and looking quite painful.

Hmm, there's also a lion scorpion standing to the side, looking a bit lost.

Warfarin was already used to the fact that Manticore could appear beside Chen Luo and even neutralize his influence; she was only curious about the actions of Chen Luo and Kal'tsit.

"What? Did you two kiss so passionately that you broke your necks?" Warfarin asked, somewhat surprised.

Warfarin's outrageous words surprised Chen Luo greatly.

"M3!"

Kal'tsit, clutching her neck, looked at Warfarin with a slowly growing coldness in her eyes.

"Hey hey hey! Old woman, calm down! I know, it must be because you're too old, so you twisted your neck when you stretched, right? No, no, no, don't let M3 come over, keep it away from me! Glug!"

Despite her sharp tongue, Warfarin ultimately couldn't escape M3's punishment and was used as a grip strength meter, left suspended in mid-air.

The physical constitution of people cannot be compared. The Blood Demon has extremely strong vitality, so it can be used as a grip strength test for a period of time without any problems.

Kal'tsit, clutching her neck due to a sprain, finally ordered M3 to put Warfarin down.

"That wretched old woman!" Warfarin gritted her teeth in anger, but knowing she couldn't beat M3, she decided to put on a smiling face and launch a sneak attack later.

"Alright, stop fooling around. We already have our first case of successfully treating ore." Kal'tsit said, clutching her neck as she looked at the Manticore standing behind Chen Luo, massaging his shoulders.

"Huh? What's going on?" Warfarin was taken aback when she heard about it.

Warfarin remembered that she had come to inform Chen Luo about the first surgery to treat Oripathy, so how come there was already a first case now?

The ghost shark doesn't count; the ghost shark incident can only be considered a coincidence.

Specter isn't an ordinary Terran; he's a Deepsea Hunter. So what happened to Specter has absolutely no relevance to treating Oripathy.

“Ask him,” Kal’tsit said, pointing to Chen Luo.

"Oh right, Chen Luo, how come you twisted your neck too?" Warfarin asked after suddenly realizing.

"I didn't ask you to ask him why his neck was twisted; I asked you to ask him why the first Oripathy treatment surgery was performed in such an environment," Kal'tsit said coldly.

M3, standing next to Warfarin, simply stroked Warfarin's head without saying a word, but the threat and warning were palpable.

"Oh right, your neck... no, why did you perform the first Oripathy treatment surgery under these circumstances? Didn't you know the first surgery was about to be performed? What if treating Manticore now delays Operator Ifrit's condition?"

"Of course, that's not the most important thing. The important thing is that if Operator Ifrit causes trouble, you'd better go and appease her!"

The important thing isn't that Chen Luo performed the Oripathy treatment on the Lion Scorpion, but that Chen Luo didn't report it to the authorities.
