Their commission was suspicious.

Envy caused the fluorescent cell walls to separate.

However, Ying originally intended to have Chen Luo take action, since Ying didn't really understand Inazuma's filth and such.

Ying's initial thought was simply to prevent Hana-san from dissipating after the filth was cleansed.

For Hana Sanri, Hotaru even abandoned the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family.

Ying's gaze towards Chen Luo and Hua Sanli was filled with heartache, as if her own cabbage had been eaten by a pig.

"Little lady, just give in to me," Chen Luo said to Hua Sanli, who was struggling on his shoulder.

"Let me go! I have my own mission to fulfill. Young master, don't joke like this!" Hua Sanli tried to break free, but she couldn't.

"If I help you complete your mission, will you submit to me?" Chen Luo asked, stroking his chin.

"No, I am a priestess."

The duty of a shrine maiden is to serve the gods, so in some places shrine maidens are not allowed to marry.

Although Hana-sanri is not a shrine maiden, she is just wearing a shrine maiden outfit.

"Besides, I'm just a spirit. I can't do anything."

"It's alright, I don't mind. I'll help you fulfill your wish, and you can repay my kindness by working like a slave. That's perfectly reasonable."

"...If you can help cleanse the filth that the Divine Cherry Tree cannot suppress and has leaked out, I will consider granting your request," Hana Sanri said hesitantly.

He's lying to you because she thinks she'll disappear on her own once the impurities are cleansed.

However, she trusts you a lot and still doesn't think you're a bad person.

"..."

Hana Sanri's inner thoughts are complex, but that has nothing to do with Chen Luo.

“Very well, let’s decide on this.” Chen Luo nodded in agreement with Hana Sanri’s idea, and then put Hana Sanri off his shoulder.

"Thank you," Hana Sanri said with a complicated expression after Chen Luo put her down.

Although Chen Luo's actions caught Hua Sanli somewhat off guard, the fact that Chen Luo was able to render her powerless to resist showed that he did indeed have some skill, which increased the success rate of removing the filth.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Suppressing Impurities]: 300 Originium + 30 points of affinity with Hana Sanri

Difficulty: 3 stars

Chen Luo was startled when he saw the request.

Because before this, Fox Palace had also made a very similar request to Chen Luo.

According to the principle that a person cannot issue two commissions, in the judgment of the humanized plug-in, the possible commission of Hana Sanri belongs to the quantum commission: possible, possibly not.

Before posting a commission in Hana-san, it's impossible to accurately determine whether the other party has actually commissioned the service.

The reconnaissance capabilities of the user-friendly plugin are ultimately not Chen Luo's innate abilities.

It now seems that Chen Luo's talent has come to regard Hana Sanri as another identity that is not entirely the same as that of Kozai Palace.

However, due to the high degree of overlap, and the fact that Hana Sanri was indeed personally selected by Chen Luo from the consciousness of the Fox Palace, the reward of Origin Stones will be greatly reduced if a commission that is highly similar to the one previously issued is issued.

It's not because exploiting malicious bugs is forbidden—Chen Luo's talent doesn't have such restrictions—but mainly because once a wish is fulfilled, the interest always diminishes significantly the second time.

It's possible that repeated wishes belonging to the same person won't take effect, and now that he's getting some extra income, Chen Luo is already quite satisfied.

Moreover, Hana Sanri is now a vegetable, she doesn't even have a body.

Otherwise, if you take Hana Sanri's obsession with cleansing impurities as her ultimate goal and even her willingness to disappear for it, it would be a four-star commission!

"Chen Luo, are you stupid!" After the farce ended, Ying, who had been released, pointed at Chen Luo.

"Now that Hana Sanri has agreed to your request, what if she disappears later?"

“I have no choice. After all, the Divine Cherry Tree can’t suppress Inazuma’s filth, causing it to leak out, so the Divine Cherry Tree Purification is necessary. The Divine Child is the priest of Narukami Shrine, so I can’t just stand by and watch. Therefore, the filth definitely needs to be cleansed,” Chen Luo said softly.

"So is there any way to have the best of both worlds?" Ying asked.

"You really think I'm omnipotent?"

"Oh, isn't that right?" Ying exclaimed in surprise.

"...Of course not! But I do have a solution to this problem."

"You still say you're not omnipotent?"

"I'm not omnipotent, I can only do what I can do."

"No nesting dolls!" Ying crossed her arms.

"Yes, yes, yes. Now I want the flowers to scatter, but I also need to cleanse the filth. So there seems to be only one way left," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

"any solution?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Chen Luo said before walking towards Hana Sanri.

At this moment, Hana Sanri was standing in front of a group of stone statues in the lake, looking at a relatively neatly arranged outdoor shrine.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at this so intently?" Chen Luo asked.

"Ah, it's nothing. It's just that a few days ago there was a legend about a giant fox statue that was transformed from Lord Foxichai, but it's been lost these past two days. Who could have done something so disrespectful?" Hana Sanri said with some melancholy.

"..."

If Chen Luo remembered correctly, it was probably, maybe, possibly... made by Yae no Miko.

Because that stone statue is actually the real person of Fox Temple!

However, it is not the original Fox Palace, but the Silver Fox Palace.

Silver Fox Palace was originally placed in the Children's Paradise as a statue to suppress impurities.

Later, when Yae no Miko returned to 500 years later, she moved all the statues and the children's playground away.

"Do you need my help to find the culprit?" Chen Luo asked, a thought flashing through his mind.

"If it's alright, then thank you." Hana Sanri was somewhat surprised by Chen Luo's enthusiasm and thanked him.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Because there was no other way to find that statue in Hana-san-ri.

Despicable thief!

Chapter 1636 The Purified Hana Sanri

"Speaking of which, do shrine maidens usually wear masks?" Paimon asked, looking at Hana Sanri who was always wearing a fox mask, as he floated in the air.

"There are some special reasons for this." Hana Sanri avoided discussing the matter.

In fact, Hana Sanri wore a mask because she felt that her face, tainted by filth, was unworthy of the celestial beauty of Kosai-gumi.

Chen Luo's investigative abilities allowed him to see through the mask to Hana Sanri's appearance, but since Hana Sanri cared so much about it, Chen Luo did not invade her privacy.

Just let Hana Sanri pick it herself later.

"Let's talk about the Great Purification Ceremony of the Divine Cherry Blossom first. To complete this ritual, we first need to break through several barriers. The village in front of us is called Konta Village, and there's a barrier here that needs to be broken." Hana Sanri abruptly pulled the seemingly random plot back on track.

"So, how many barriers does this ritual called the Divine Cherry Blossom Great Purification need to break?" Ying had some understanding of the Divine Cherry Blossom Great Purification quest's storyline, but she had only watched the story videos and hadn't actually played the game, so she wasn't entirely sure.

"Several."

"..."

What's the difference between saying it and not saying it?

"Let's deal with this barrier below Konta Village first. After all, the beginning is always the hardest," Hana-san said.

"Which of you will go? Or will you both go together?" Hua Sanli asked, looking at Chen Luo and Ying.

Even if Hua Sanli has a slow reaction time, she can tell that Ying and Chen Luo are acquainted and have a good relationship.

"As you know, my time is very precious; I'm often out saving the world," Chen Luo said, turning to Ying in response to Hana Sanri's question.

"I understand, they just want me to complete the mission, right? It doesn't matter, I'm very familiar with this." Ying rolled up her sleeves.

Oh wait, Ying doesn't have sleeves.

Although Ying didn't actually play the game when she completed this side quest, but only watched the story, she wasn't flustered.

As long as Ying searches for strategies quickly enough, there's nothing that can stump her!

To be honest, strategy guides are really useful, especially for people who don't like to use their brains. All Ying needs to do now is go to the location and fight monsters.

Game Guide - My External Brain!

“But I need to be paid for my help. Forget about Mora, the mask is mine!” Ying said as she moved closer to Chen Luo.

Ying didn't specify the exact amount of the reward, but she knew Chen Luo understood what she meant.

The mask that Ying mentioned is the one that Hana Sanri is currently wearing.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"You can have the mask, but..."

"but?"

"But you don't have to do the work. I finally managed to fulfill a few wishes, and now you want to steal my job?"

If Chen Luo receives a wish, he needs to make a significant contribution to its fulfillment; otherwise, it's uncertain whether the raw stone will even reach him.

What if Ying completes all the tasks and cleanses away the filth, but Chen Luo fails to complete the task?

There are three similar requests for the task of exorcising filth, one from Yae no Miko of the Fox Palace and the other from Hana Sanri.

Moreover, even if the Divine Cherry Blossom Great Purification mission is completed, the degree of completion is not high, because this Divine Cherry Blossom Great Purification only removes the little bit of filth that had seeped out from the original suppression of the Divine Cherry Blossom Tree, which is a temporary solution and not a fundamental cure.

"You're being so kind? And didn't you just say you were very busy?" Ying asked, somewhat surprised.

"What a joke! I, Chen Luo, am always considerate and never let my friends suffer losses."

"The last person to say he would never let his friends suffer was Sambo."

“…Say one more word and I won’t even give you the mask.”

"Fine, I surrender." Ying, who wanted the side quest souvenir, easily succumbed to Chen Luo's tyranny.

"But you won't let me do it, and you don't have time, so what are you planning to do?"

“Of course, we’ll use the quickest method. Speaking of which, when we came to Inazuma last time, we were able to help clean up all the filth, but we had to give up due to time constraints. This time, we can finally finish what we left unfinished.” Chen Luo looked in the direction of the Divine Cherry Tree.

The reconnaissance ability quickly zoomed in, allowing Chen Luo to see the divine cherry tree that was gradually transforming into the shape of a fox due to Yin Bazhong Shenzi's personal interests.

Chen Luo was referring to the last time he came to Inazuma, which was 500 years ago, and there was no Divine Cherry Tree 500 years ago.

Perhaps he'll have to go back again someday to plant the Divine Cherry Tree 500 years ago, but that's not Chen Luo's job anymore—he's never interested in missions that don't offer commissions or raw materials.

Then we'll have to trouble the famous traveler to do these things.

Following Chen Luo's gaze, Ying, seeing nothing, suddenly felt a chill in her heart, as if something ominous was about to happen.

"What's the shortcut?" Hana Sanri asked curiously.

Having dealt with filth for so long, how could Hana-sanri not be familiar with it?

Hana-sanri still hasn't figured out a better way to deal with the impurities besides the Great Purification of Divine Cherry Blossoms.

However, when it came to the Great Purification of the Divine Cherry Blossom, Hana Sanri began to worry about what would happen if the filth overflowed again in the future.

"It's a very safe and quick way to remove impurities. If nothing unexpected happens, we won't have to worry about Inazuma being troubled by impurities for a very long time to come," Chen Luo said.

"Are you confident of success? If not, let's perform the Divine Cherry Blossom Purification Ritual instead," Hana Sanri asked.

"No need, the chances of success are very high."

"Have you ever encountered anything like filth before?" Hana Sanri began to show some concern.

"Don't worry, no one understands filth better than me!"

Because inner demons are the greatest filth!

The Herrscher of Knowledge plus a demon within and a nightmare... Chen Luo, who purchased the Herrscher of Knowledge's powers, can be considered, in a sense, the greatest filth in the world, and calling him a demon king wouldn't be an exaggeration.

For specific potential, refer to the Evil Sword Immortal.

If the Herald of Knowledge were allowed to absorb resentment without restraint, it would definitely grow into a powerful demon in a very short time.
