Their commission was suspicious.

"..." Liu Wenxuan fell into deep thought.

……

"I'm back!" Chen Luo said as he kicked the door open.

"Welcome back. Would you like to eat first, take a shower first, or... spank the little fox's bottom first?" As soon as Chen Luo entered the door, he found that Cangxuan Zhishu was already sitting obediently at the door, as if it was welcoming him.

Moreover, what Cangxuan said also made Chen Luo quite concerned.

"Hmm? What's the little fox up to now? The sofa looks fine to me," Chen Luo said, glancing at the sofa in the living room.

"The little fox didn't dismantle the sofa. I was watching her closely in the living room and made sure she didn't take anything down," Cangxuan Zhishu said as if to assure her.

"Then why did you spank that vixen? Did she tear my bed apart?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat puzzled.

At the same time, Chen Luo also saw the little fox locked in the cage, looking at him with a confused expression as he returned home.

It is obvious that the Book of Azure Mystery locked the other party in a cage.

Although the little fox seems to possess a certain level of intelligence, it may have been a spirit beast before it transmigrated, or it may have been able to become a spirit beast through the modification of the spacetime turbulence.

But the little fox now is no match for the Book of Azure Mystery.

Although the Book of Azure Profound is a support-type armed puppet, it still has the word "armed" in its name.

"The little fox didn't damage your bed, or rather, she didn't damage anything."

"That……"

"It just peed on your bed..." Cangxuan Zhishu added, seeing Chen Luo's nonchalant expression.

"..." Upon hearing Cangxuan's words, Chen Luoren was completely stunned.

As a result, the food that was meant for the Book of Azure Mystery and the little fox slipped from his hands and fell to the ground.

With lightning speed, Cangxuan Book caught the KFC family bucket he wanted from another world.

"Clap!"

However, the little fox wasn't so lucky; the fried tofu it wanted fell straight to the ground.

"Waaah!" The little fox cried out in pain when it saw its food fall to the ground.

"Alo, can I interview you about what you're thinking right now?" Cangxuan asked while biting into a chicken leg.

"I'm thinking, should I shave all its fur off and teach it a lesson?" Chen Luo said in a sinister tone.

You dare pee on my bed?! I'm going to turn evil!

Chapter 217 Chen Luo: Can't you just stop thinking about your villa island?!

"Boss, you're coming to World Serpent with me tomorrow, so don't go back on your word." Raven stood in front of Chen Luo with his hands on his hips, looking at Chen Luo sitting in his seat with an extremely imposing aura.

"I-I know, stay away from me." Chen Luo said, turning his head away.

"Stop being so perfunctory, okay? At least look me in the eye when you're talking," Raven said, displeased.

"Move that damn fat of yours away! It's almost touching Aro's face!" The Herrscher of Knowledge, who was also standing inside the bar, couldn't take it anymore and slapped Raven's pert, round breasts.

Unfortunately, due to the bar's complete protective features, the slap did not cause any damage; it only startled the raven, causing it to take a step back.

The raven took a step back and instinctively crossed its arms to protect its front.

"What are you doing?" Raven looked at Shi Bao with displeasure.

"What are you doing?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was about to explode.

So what if you have big breasts? You think you can give people face wash? Show off again, and I'll smash them flat.

Of course, that's what they say, but at least in a bar, the Lawyer of Knowledge can't do that.

Lady Shizhi Luzhe can do anything!

Well, except in bars.

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. Don't worry, Raven, I'll definitely go to the World Serpent with you. So what if we go to the World Serpent? Is it going to eat me or what?" Chen Luo sneered and said disdainfully.

Chen Luo admitted that many things about the World Serpent were indeed too awesome, but Chen Luo was no pushover either.

Moreover, Chen Luo was still interested in many things about the World Serpent.

For example, World Serpent is a weakened version of Fusion Surgery, derived from Fusion Surgery. Although it is not as effective as Fusion Surgery, it also has fewer side effects.

As it turns out, older things aren't necessarily more impressive.

"It's good that you can keep your promise. The children have been staying in Changkong City. I really don't know how they are doing. I haven't had time to go back these past few days," Raven said with some concern.

"Don't worry, I've had my Honkai Beasts use that building as a base to drive away the surrounding Honkai Beasts, so it's definitely safe," Chen Luo reassured him.

"That's good. But I really didn't expect that you, boss, are still such an innocent young man." Raven bowed slightly, looking at Chen Luo with a teasing expression.

Raven didn't know why Chen Luo turned his head away just now, but now it does.

Oh dear, the all-powerful traveler Chen Luo, who remains unfazed by Honkai Beasts and zombies, is surprisingly bad at dealing with girls. Perhaps this is something he can make good use of.

"Manager, I feel my salary is a bit low, so could you give me a raise?" The mature and somewhat alluring smile appeared on Raven's face.

Moreover, his body took half a step forward.

But it's only half a step.

Although the raven wanted to make money, it wasn't to the point where it absolutely had to.

The raven was just trying it out.

Besides, although Raven has extensive experience in killing, robbing, and being a mercenary, she has never actually had a boyfriend...

In a sense, Raven and Chen Luo are the same...

"Hmm, want a raise? Sure, no problem. But I advise you to move those two bulges on your chest back a bit, otherwise I'm not sure if I'll bite them." After saying that, Chen Luo gritted his teeth.

"Wow, you're such a scoundrel." Raven straightened up and looked at Chen Luo with disgust.

"..."

Yes, yes, that's exactly the look in my eyes.

"Come on, who started this harassment between us? If you want a raise, just ask for a raise, why are you standing so close?"

They may be utterly depraved inside, but outwardly they must maintain a dignified facade.

Whoops, just kidding.

"So, is it really possible to get a raise?" Raven asked curiously.

Is it really that easy for this bar to raise wages?

"Since you look so good in this bartender uniform, from now on you can wear this uniform to work every day, and your salary will be increased to 5 work points per day, how about that?" Chen Luo said, leaning back in his chair.

"Huh? I didn't expect my first raise wouldn't be because of my outstanding performance, but because I looked good in my uniform?" Raven looked down at her outfit.

This outfit wasn't the mercenary uniform Raven usually wore; it was the clothes Raven used to wear when she worked at a bar.

Due to Chen Luo's strong suggestion, Raven changed out of her mercenary uniform when she started working at the bar.

"It really looks good, or rather, you're naturally beautiful, and you look good in anything. Of course, the most important thing is that this outfit is perfect for the theme. Our bar is a legitimate bar, not some underground intelligence bar. What's the point of wearing mercenary clothes all the time?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Raven and said.

"It will scare the children," Chen Luo emphasized.

"Putting aside whether this bar can accommodate children, aren't minors prohibited from drinking alcohol?"

“But we have more than just alcohol at home, so it’s not a big problem,” Chen Luo said.

"So, in short, my basic salary has increased from two work points to five work points, right? It's better than nothing, I guess," Raven said, arms crossed.

Although Chen Luo's increase wasn't significant, Raven wouldn't refuse free work points.

"On another note, Raven, is there anything you wish to fulfill?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"...Inside the bar, just call me Ciola," Raven said after a pause.

"Siora? Okay. By the way, how about Natasha?"

"Whatever, it's just a name anyway," Raven said nonchalantly.

"Then let's get back to your wish."

"My wish..." Siola, who was wiping the cups, suddenly had a deep look in her eyes.

"To live a good life, that is my wish." After saying that, Siola lowered her head in silence again.

"What a simple and unpretentious wish."

"The current plan is that after you go to World Serpent, World Serpent will fund the purchase of a seaside villa for me. Then, I'll use the remaining time to slowly save money to buy a small island in the distance and build a large villa." Perhaps because the atmosphere was better now, Siola was willing to talk more.

"Sigh, I thought the World Serpent was going to give you a villa island." Chen Luo was taken aback.

"No, that's not it. Thanks to your Honkai Crystal Necklace, the children can occasionally have contact with people from the outside world. Although my dream is to buy a villa island, I won't let the children live in seclusion forever just because of my dream. So when Gray Serpent asked for a location, I chose a place by the sea that is still inhabited."

"There's a beach in the distance from that villa, and many people go there to play every summer, so the children probably won't be lonely. In spring, autumn, and winter, we can occasionally take them to the city, which is more than ten kilometers away, to play..."

Although Raven is currently facing Chen Luo sideways, making it impossible for Chen Luo to fully see the expression on Raven's face, he can only imagine that it is extremely gentle.

Even the Herrscher of Knowledge, who had expressed some displeasure after seeing Raven's pair of great evils, calmed down and listened to Raven's musings.

Some people may dislike unruly children, but no one dislikes well-behaved children.

"Although, Raven, listen to my advice, stop dreaming about villas and islands, really." After listening to Raven's beautiful fantasies and remaining silent for a while, Chen Luo earnestly advised.

Even with Chen Luo present, the Herrscher of the Void might not necessarily exhibit any violent behavior even if she awakens, and it's possible that she might not trigger a major collapse, but it's also possible that she might.

In the original storyline, when Raven bought the villa, she must have chosen a place that she was most satisfied with. If that's the case, there's a 90% chance that Raven will still choose that place now.

We're not saying that the raven is 100% unlucky enough to sink the villa island, but even if there's a 50% chance, don't try it. Why would you try it?

"What's wrong with a villa island? Does a villa island eat your rice? People like you who don't own a villa island can't possibly experience the joy of one. Once I buy a villa island, I'll invite you to experience it, and you'll absolutely love it. A villa island is the real, completely your home; other houses only have limited property rights." Raven gave Chen Luo a disdainful look.

"That's true... but haven't you thought about what would happen if it sank?"

"How could it possibly sink? The villa island I chose is in a perfect location," Raven said confidently.

"But..." Chen Luo still wanted to persuade Raven.

"There's no 'buts' about it. Anyway, it's not your money being spent... Oh, it is your money being spent. Well, I can just reserve a room for you on the villa island," Raven said, waving her hand.

"Hmm, since you've put it that way, I won't try to persuade you anymore. Anyway, if your villa island sinks, I'll reserve a room for you in the attic upstairs."

Since Raven had already said so much, Chen Luo felt it was inappropriate to stop her.

Chen Luo was genuinely touched by the fact that the other party was willing to reserve a room for him, so he reciprocated with a kind gesture.

What if Chen Luo occasionally needs to stay in the attic?

Hmm, that room isn't small, we can still squeeze in if we try.

Besides, that room was originally prepared for sleeping with the bartender.

"Thank you so much. When my villa island sinks, I'll come and take you down with me." Raven rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

"Why?" Chen Luo suddenly felt wronged.

"Who told you to have a jinx?" Raven shrugged.

"I didn't expect this to affect innocent bystanders as well."

"Then you can only pray that my villa island doesn't sink, otherwise I'll be clinging to you for life," Raven said after stretching.

"..." Chen Luo fell into deep thought.

To be honest, Raven's words made Chen Luo somewhat tempted. It wasn't that Chen Luo had any ulterior motives towards Raven, but rather that Chen Luo suddenly realized that if Raven's villa island didn't sink, Raven might not be planning to be a mercenary anymore, but instead enjoy life.

Then the raven probably won't come to work at the bar.

But if Raven's villa island were to sink, Raven would definitely continue working at the bar. After all, Chen Luo isn't exaggerating; the wages he pays are absolutely the most reasonable.

However, Chen Luo always felt that it was somewhat cruel to expect something bad to happen to others.

Hmm, never mind. If the other person's villa island comes to fruition, I'll just let them make a wish, and then I'll gift them a villa island in return.

Of course, it will be ten days to half a month later.

Although Chen Luo is poor, Anti-Entropy is rich, and Cocolia is rich.

Isn't Cocolia's money Chen Luo's money?
