Their commission was suspicious.

"Because of the Soul Flame, Fox Palace can remember recent events that left a deep impression on it. In other words, Fox Palace still remembers that you threw it out," Chen Luo explained from the side.

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Fox Palace turned to look at the Divine Child, revealing a smile that frightened the Divine Child.

"Lord Fox Fairy, I missed you so much!" Upon seeing Fox Fairy in human form, the Divine Child immediately threw herself into her arms.

He tried to use love to awaken the little rationality that Fox Prince had left when he was in a fit of anger.

Perhaps only at this moment can the beautiful and intelligent, yet also quite cunning, Yae no Kami, reveal the genuine expression he had 500 years ago.

During the 500 years that General Raiden was in seclusion, Yae no Miko shouldered far too many responsibilities.

When Fox Palace saw Yae no Miko rush into his arms, his expression softened immediately.

The goddess... she didn't mean it just now.

……

"Mr. Chen Luo, right? Hello, my name is Fox Palace. Thank you for taking care of me and the Divine Child these past few days. I already know the details from the Divine Child." Fox Palace said while stroking the Divine Child's fox head.

The divine child looked at Chen Luo with teary eyes.

It wasn't touching, it was heartbreaking.

The divine child now has three plates on his head.

It was placed in the Fox Abode Palace.

"You're welcome, Miss Fox Palace. The Divine Child helped me a lot... emmm..." Chen Luo was about to offer some polite words when he fell into thought.

Wait, what did the divine child do for me?

The divine child looked at Chen Luo expectantly, hoping that after Chen Luo put in a good word for him, he could get the plates off his head.

"Give me three more plates!" Chen Luo glared at Yae no Kamiko.

"..." Yae no Miko pouted and obediently went to the kitchen to get a plate.

That despicable Chen Luo! Didn't I help you get your Thor's Heart?

But after thinking it over carefully, Yae no Miko realized that apart from this incident, she couldn't really recall any other ways she had helped Chen Luo, so she had no choice but to take the blame.

"Fox Abode Palace?" A surprised voice rang out from the second floor.

"Chiyo..." Fox Prince called softly to Chiyo, who was standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, looking down at him.

When Fox Prince sacrificed himself to resist the calamity, Chiyo had already been infected by the filth, which caused her to go mad. She was then cut off an arm and a corner by the movie and escaped into the forest.

In fact, Kosai-no-miya has been surrounding Mikoto Chiyo for the past few days, but because he cannot return to his original form, he has not known how to express his feelings.

Looking at Miyu Chiyo and Kitsune-sai-miya embracing each other, and Yae no Miko with six plates on her head, she couldn't help but look at Chen Luo, who was smiling like an aunt next to her.

The people in the bar were more or less aware that they did owe Chen Luo a lot.

Some things might not be difficult for Chen Luo, but for those who aspire to work at the bar, they might be something they would dedicate their entire lives to.

For example, Otto wanted to save Kallen, and Yae no Miko wanted to save Raiden Shin and Mikoto Chiyo.

The desire to resurrect others is often driven by strong subjective emotions, so the rewards for such a request are usually greater. However, this extraordinary act is not impossible under all circumstances.

Yae no Miko was truly grateful to Chen Luo, so she readily gave him the Heart of God that Lei Movie had given her, which she no longer wanted, without asking for any reward.

Lei Dianying understands Yae no Miko and knows that if Yae no Miko were to hand over the Thunder God's Heart, which is no longer of use to him, it would certainly be a worthwhile deal.

Indeed, regardless of Yae no Miko's own subjective opinion, she felt that for Lei Movie, the resurrection of her sister was more precious than all the props Lei Movie possessed.

"Thank you. I am deeply grateful for your kindness..." Yae no Miko said in a seductive voice as she moved closer to Chen Luo.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo suddenly turned his head to look at Yae no Kamiko.

"What's wrong? Are you tempted?" Yae no Miko asked with a smile.

Yae no Miko is actually quite confident in her charm.

"Playing the emotional card won't work. You'll have to hold out for at least an hour!" Chen Luo said warily.

Want to put the plate down this early? No way!

"...You deserve to be single forever!" Yae no Miko said through gritted teeth to Chen Luo after a moment of silence.

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? I just came out of Isamara's room." Chen Luo said with a hint of smugness.

Although Chen Luo did nothing.

Because Chen Luo knew that Xiao Shi would kick him out of the room, he fell into a deep sleep and only just woke up.

"Heh, your primordial yang hasn't even been broken yet, what are you pretending to be an adult for?" Eightfold Divine Child sneered.

"...Divine Child, would you mind having three more plates on your head?" Chen Luo looked coldly at the plates on the head of the Eighth Divine Child.

"...I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was too arrogant just now." Yae no Miko immediately admitted defeat.

"It's too late. Should we add three more plates, or six more plates? Which do you choose?"

Three?

"You still dare to choose fewer? Ten!"

"!!!"

"Waaaaah~~"

"Being cute won't work."

Chapter 1620 The Fox Palace, now shaped like Chen Luo

After three more plates appeared on Yae no Miko's head, Yae no Miko carefully maintained her balance.

Although Chen Luo said he wanted Yae no Kami to add ten plates, he still felt a little reluctant and only added three.

Although in Yae no Miko's eyes, Chen Luo had already gone too far.

But at least Chen Luo didn't actually make Yae no Kamiko have 16 plates on her head; she only had 9.

However, the key point isn't actually how many plates Yae no Miko has to balance on her head, but rather how many plates she has in her house...

"Finished chatting?" Chen Luo sat on the sofa, admiring Yae no Miko's "acrobatics," and then looked at Kosai-no-Miya and Mikoto Chiyo who were walking towards him.

"We're done talking. By the way, how much time do I have left to transform?" Fox Palace then asked.

It was precisely because he hadn't seen his good friend for a long time and had finished talking about the Fox Palace that he became more concerned about his image.

We really can't let Chen Luo find out that I was aware of this all along!

"It's not so much a transformation time... Whether I can return to this state depends mainly on my choice. Soulfire has two uses: one is to restore a person's soul power, and the other is to be used as fuel," Chen Luo said.

"The second use is now on you, so essentially, after you use this method to return to your original form and consume the Soul Fire, you will not have the effect of restoring your spirit, because it will all become fuel to support you in returning to your original form."

"You probably have four or five minutes to continue talking, but I can't be completely sure how many more minutes it will take before it changes back," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo was telling the truth to some extent; the Fox Palace does indeed need Soul Fire as fuel if it wants to fully unleash its power.

However, there is also some truth to it: even without the Soul Flame, Fox Palace could actually maintain its current human form indefinitely.

Fox Palace should be more aware of this, but as long as Chen Luo doesn't say it, Fox Palace won't say it either.

Fox Palace has a lot to lose. If people find out that the one who used to beg for soul fire by acting cute and charming was Fox Palace herself, how can Fox Palace live?

While this kind of lighthearted mentality is indeed a bit excessive, who can resist a white fox acting cute and charming?

Moreover, there's no harm in consuming too much Soulfire. Soulfire itself has restorative effects on the spirit and soul. Even if you don't need the restorative effects, consuming Soulfire is still a very pleasant activity... just like Yae no Miko encountering fried tofu.

You don't have to eat it, but it's unnecessary!

"How long do I need to maintain this state?" Fox Palace asked.

Fox Palace admitted that Chen Luo's soul fire was indeed delicious, and Fox Palace had recently become more and more accustomed to letting loose, but Fox Palace dared not continue living this life where every transformation depended on when Chen Luo would give her a soul fire.

What if I get used to it?

"It should at least take the same amount of time as lightning to repair, but lightning really did jump through time with me for a long time, so maybe she'll recover earlier," Chen Luo said.

"Oh, by the way, how is Zhen Zhen?"

"She's doing well, she'll recover soon. I'll feed her Soul Fire when she recovers, no need to rush," Chen Luo said, glancing at Raiden Shin playing a game inside the Raiden General puppet.

When Chen Luo entered Library mode on Terra, Lei Dian stayed with him for more than ten days, which is why he recovered.

However, when Chen Luo performed the time jump yesterday, he temporarily left the Thunder General doll on the third floor of the bar to prevent the Thunder Needle from staying alone in the Pure Land of the Heart for too long.

Judging by the time, Chen Luo should have summoned Lei Dian yesterday, but he gave her an extra day to stay in her sanctuary.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Fox Palace nodded to Chen Luo.

Suddenly, Fox Palace also felt that the blessing of the burning soul fire on him was slowly dissipating, a state that Fox Palace could sense.

After hesitating for a moment, Fox Palace hugged Chiyo one last time, then transformed into a white fox, and was picked up by Chen Luo.

"Alright, I'll go prepare breakfast. Remember to go to school after you eat." Chen Luo greeted Yu Yuqian and walked towards the kitchen. Three seconds later, he came out again, with countless threads extending from behind him, carrying various kinds of breakfast.

LOL, since there's a bar, why doesn't Tai just cook in the bar?

Even if it costs a few raw stones, it can save Chen Luo the trouble of washing dishes.

Chen Luo doesn't like cooking or washing dishes.

If given a choice, Chen Luo would rather order takeout than cook for himself.

Making a meal, whether it's washing, selecting, chopping, or cooking, takes a lot of time. A slightly more complicated meal can take more than half an hour, and an even more complicated one can take several hours. With that kind of time, Chen Luo could save a world.

"You seem to have something to say?" Chen Luo sat at the dining table, looking at Mikoto Chiyo.

"Is that... are all schools in your other world this strict?" Mikoto Chiyo couldn't help but ask.

"how you said that?"

"Starting class at 8 a.m.? Are you trying to kill yourself?" Mikoto Chiyo had been holding back for days, and finally asked the question today.

"...You may not be very familiar with the national conditions in China. The education at Xinghai No. 1 Central School is already considered to be 'happy education' in the country. At least it's a day school, and day students are not required to attend morning self-study sessions. Otherwise, you would experience what true hell is."

"I get up at 6 a.m., then do morning exercises, and after that, it's time for early morning self-study. And that's only until 7 a.m. The afternoon is even more intense. After class around 5 p.m., we have dinner, and after dinner, there's still evening self-study, which lasts until 10 p.m. By the time I wash up and lie in bed, it's almost 11 p.m. If the students in the dorm are planning to chat for a while, that's even worse." Chen Luo talked about these things with great ease.

“等等，从11:00~6:00？这不是才7个小时睡觉时间吗？”御舆千代大为震撼。

Michiyo also had her share of days when she got up at the crack of dawn to practice martial arts, but these people were still children, and they were studying academic subjects.

"Oh, there is actually a midday rest period, but you can only sleep for an hour or two."

"Can the children's bodies withstand this in the long run?"

"As long as this model can be rolled out nationwide, you don't need to worry about its harms. Apart from keeping children busy for three years of high school and then letting them run wild in college, there are no other side effects."

"That's why I say the education at Xinghai No. 1 Middle School is 'happy education'—at least you don't have to attend morning or evening self-study sessions," Chen Luo said while eating a grilled sausage.

If Xinghai No. 1 Middle School hadn't been a day school, Chen Luo wouldn't have had the energy to go around making requests and helping people fulfill their wishes.

Of course, if there's anything unsatisfactory about going to school, it's that the school hours are too long and the time spent on commissions is too short.

Fortunately, the courses in the first and second years of high school were not too demanding. Only in the third year of high school would the study be intensive. And after that, Mikoto Chiyo helped me with my studies.

"What? You're not interested in such a heavy workload? If you're not interested, I can make a doll to take your place," Chen Luo asked.

"No, no need. I'm still somewhat interested in going to school. Let's talk about it in a couple of days. In a couple of days... it'll be time to go back to Inazuma." Mikoto Chiyo shook her head.

“No problem, just say when you don’t want to go to school anymore. Oh, by the way, here’s a little something for you to do when you’re daydreaming in class.” Chen Luo said, taking out a pair of glasses and handing them to Miyuki Chiyo.

"what is this?"

"A gaming helmet. It may not look like a helmet, but that's not important. What's important is that it allows you to be aware of your surroundings while playing games, and it also helps you become stronger. Whether you use it or not is up to you. I should go upstairs and call Xiao Shi for dinner." Before leaving, Chen Luo rubbed the ears of the human-form Yae no Miko one last time, and then went upstairs.

Since spying on games has become a substitute for sleep, Xiao Shi's daily routine has improved significantly, and he's at least able to eat breakfast in the evening.

"Breakfast? I'll eat it later. I'm teaming up with Mei and the others to fight monsters right now, just pretend I'm dead!" The Herrscher of Knowledge scratched the air a few times haphazardly, then continued to lie on the bed pretending to be dead.

Well, even if she could eat breakfast, Xiao Shi doesn't seem willing to.

"Then you can play first. Remember to eat breakfast when you're done fighting monsters. I also need to go to the other world to prepare for the welcome activities," Chen Luo said.

"..."

"Say something."

“Dead people can’t talk.” After saying that, Xiao Shi shut his mouth.

"..." Out of Xiao Shi's sight, Chen Luo rolled his eyes at her before pushing open the door and walking into the bar.

However, before heading to Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Chen Luo made a special trip to visit Raiden Shin in the Pure Land of the Raiden General Doll.
