Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo stood on the Kunyu Platform in the Star Chariot Sea, watching countless star chariots streak across the sky, leaving behind golden marks.

Below the star raft stood countless fox-people.

This is the funeral of the fox people. Because some fox people often die in wars, and because fox people are generally excellent aviators, this ritual was created: the condolences of the living and the burial goods of the dead are sent together on a starship to the starry sea.

On the starship representing Tingyun, there were naturally some items left behind: Yanming, who was also a supervisor, gave a paper kite used in the tradition of fox people to comfort others; in addition, there was Tingyun's seal as a ferryman; dishes that Tingyun loved, given by the merchants of Jinren Lane; and a cup of tea named after Tingyun.

Every time the star raft sails away, it brings back a painful memory.

This situation further strengthened the fox-people's resolve to take revenge on destruction.

Of all the star gods to choose from, the Destroyer had to provoke the Hunter, who was the most proactive and vengeful...

"Now that the funeral ceremony is over, would you like to try some dishes? This is an enhanced version of Miss Tingyun's favorite dish," Chen Luo asked.

In a conspicuous place that no one was "aware" of, a table suddenly appeared out of nowhere, laden with dishes.

From a generally rational perspective, a feast should indeed be held after the funeral.

“In our local tradition, there is a feast after the funeral,” Chen Luo said.

"Really? Then... have a bite." Jing Yuan sighed.

Meanwhile, the little Tingyun in Chen Luo's arms watched the departing star raft with a look of reluctance.

My own seal as the ferryman...

Can it be replaced? Will I have to pay for it myself?

When everyone put these things out, Xiao Tingyun wanted to keep them, but she didn't dare.

Damn Huanlong, damn Aha... Oh, Aha isn't really damned, since without Aha I might really be gone.

Ah Ha turned him into a little fox, and he should thank him?

Tingyun grew increasingly grief-stricken and indignant as she thought about it.

In addition, the dishes that Chen Luo prepared happened to be all that Tingyun liked to eat.

So Tingyun ate three large bowls of soup with tears in her eyes.

For some reason, Tingyun always felt that someone was watching her while she was eating.

It wasn't until Tingyun inadvertently turned her head that she realized everyone seemed to be staring at her in shock.

Tingyun subconsciously looked down and didn't see her toes, but she did see a snow-white slime.

Q: What could be more painful than attending your own funeral and not being able to reveal your identity?

A: It's like attending your own funeral without revealing your identity, but then your identity gets exposed while you're eating at the funeral.

"Um... do you need me to help retrieve Miss Tingyun's belongings from that starship?" Chen Luo asked the person next to him in a low voice.

"Clatter!" Tingyun's chopsticks fell onto the table.

“…Damn you, Aha! I’ll haunt you even as a ghost!” Tingyun didn’t answer, but instead raised her head and shouted in despair.

Chapter 2145 Invitation to the Pinocchio Party by Aha, the Star God of Pleasure! (9k)

"Aha! I hear someone calling me." A crack appeared in the sky, and a giant covered in a mask opened the crack and looked down.

The iconic mask representing Ahab proved the visitor's identity.

The God of Joy—Aha.

Tingyun, who was originally furious, immediately shut his mouth.

After glancing at Aha, Tingyun immediately hid behind Chen Luo.

Although Chen Luo really wanted to say, "Miss, please have some self-respect," but...

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Oh, it's not about whether it's a genuine or unrefined stone; Chen Luo just felt it wasn't appropriate to say such things now.

"Hmm, wasn't it you who called me just now? Or is this the legendary... Fox Lord?" The huge red pleasure mask tilted its head.

"Hey, Godmother Fox..." Chen Luo's voice broke the silence.

In order to ensure that everyone could eat in peace, Chen Luo used the power of the Law of Knowledge to create this conspicuous spot that no one would notice.

Aha's high-profile appearance did not cause panic among the fox people who were immersed in grief. Only a few people who were eating at the feast could see Aha's figure.

Even though everyone present was either a general of the Immortal Ship, one of the Six Emperors of the Immortal Ship, or a renowned pioneer, under Aha's oppressive influence, only Chen Luo was able to speak in a normal tone.

Communicating with the Star Gods is no joke.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. I'm just here to deliver something." Aha kept his smiling mask on, but no one could manage a smile.

This is like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken.

However, several items did slowly fall from the huge black crack that Aha had dug open. Upon closer inspection, they were Tingyun's burial objects.

"I figured since the person wasn't dead yet, there was no need to throw these things away, so I brought them back!"

"Hmm, why are you all still so nervous? Welcome me, after all, I did save your celestial ship's ferryman. Although the process may have been a bit bumpy, the result was good, wasn't it?"

"..."

From a generally rational perspective, Aha is right. Apart from the fact that Tingyun ate three large bowls of food at his own table, which felt somewhat strange, the ending was actually quite good.

However, as everyone knows, when Aha laughs, it's often difficult for others to laugh.

For example, right now.

"It seems you still have some misunderstandings about me. Well then, to ease the tension, let me tell you a joke. Why do I say that Tingyun might not be dead? Because she saw Huanlong turn around and run away."

"Do you know why Tingyun always falls down? Because the fox is slippery (cunning)."

“You know…”

"That's enough!" Even though Tingyun was usually very polite to everyone and had just been adorably timid, she couldn't help but yell.

Although he shouted it from behind Chen Luo.

You're really going too far, you star god.

Why do you keep telling lame jokes about me?

unacceptable!

"Sigh, isn't it funny? Fine... then I'll be going now." After returning the items, Aha withdrew his hand that had opened the rift, and the rift instantly closed, and Aha disappeared.

"..."

After Aha left, the atmosphere became awkward and silent.

It was alright when Aha was around; at least everyone had a target to draw attention to, since Aha had just said that he had saved Tingyun.

That makes sense.

Huanlong is indeed powerful, but Huanlong is only a scribe, while Aha is a star god.

"...Do you want to know what that lame joke Aha didn't have a chance to tell just now was? I can tell you." After being looked at by March 7th as if seeking help, Chen Luo spoke up.

"No need!" Tingyun said after regaining her composure.

“Lord Yu Kong, General, and…” Ting Yun stepped out from behind Chen Luo, giving him a complicated look.

Tingyun was indeed very grateful to Chen Luo, but her feelings were complicated.

Damn it, Aha!

Why must I recover my physical condition while I'm eating at the banquet?

And this happened while I was eating my own meal.

"No, I still can't help it. You have to hear me out." Just as Tingyun was saying something, a crack appeared in the sky above everyone's heads, and Aha poked his head out.

Everyone looked up at the same time.

I'm going to listen to what Aha has to say.

Do you know how I saved Tingyun's life?

Aha asked a question that everyone was concerned about.

Most people really don't know what Aha specifically did to Tingyun.

“Actually, Tingyun saved himself,” Aha said with a sigh.

"Hmm, what do you mean?" Jing Yuan frowned.

"Because Tingyun put on a show for everyone at his own funeral!"

“……×n”

"Hmm, why aren't you laughing? Actually, the meaning of this lame joke is..." Aha was a little confused, and then wanted to explain.

"Get out!" Tingyun was so angry that her eyebrows shot up and she raised her little fist.

You, the Star God, have never stopped; you've been laughing at me the whole time!

I'm done!

Tingyun really wants to jump off the Star Chariot Sea next to her.

One act of redemption led to a lifetime of introversion.

"Aha! I love the way you get angry but can't hit me." Aha laughed wickedly, then disappeared again.

It's hard to imagine Aha's mental state, but considering that Aha is a fun-loving person who seeks amusement, Aha's actions are actually quite in line with his own mental state.

Just ...

People began to worry about Tingyun's mental state.

After being turned into a pet fox by Aha and raised by Chen Luo for so long, for some reason she ate unusually happily at the banquet, only to suddenly revert to her true form...

It's likely that Tingyun was also restricted by the Star God of Joy, which is why she had no choice but to do this.

As for the result... you've all seen the result just now.

Seeing Tingyun standing in front of everyone with her head down and her hands clenched into fists, March 7th moved closer to Chen Luo and nudged his arm, gesturing to Tingyun.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

The meaning is already quite clear.

Go and comfort her.

The people in the province, having just been pranked, wanted to die.

In the current situation, if anyone other than Chen Luo tries to persuade Ting Yun, it will likely only worsen her mood.

Of course, this isn't really a big problem. Being alive is the best thing. As long as you're alive, there's still hope.

"Um... Miss Tingyun?" Chen Luo spoke up after the people had gradually left.

"..." Ting Yun exuded a low-pressure aura, as if he were about to turn evil at any moment. After turning his head and finding that only Chen Luo was left and everyone else had left, he paused for a moment before his expression changed.

Tingyun, being a quick-witted person, immediately understood why the others had left.

"what happened?"

"Miss Tingyun, do you still have memories of your time as a fox?" Chen Luo asked.

"..."

Chen Luo's words stumped Ting Yun.

Because Tingyun remembered that Aha had made a contract with her, instructing her not to reveal herself after she returned to human form, and to remember what happened during her time as a fox.

However, as Tingyun dealt with Aha more often, he was now unsure whether Aha had set him up for another big job or if there really was such a contract.

While you're hesitating, Ahha might be hiding somewhere laughing.

But if she said she didn't remember, Tingyun was somewhat unwilling to give up on her own personal toy, Huanlong...

Tingyun, in particular, could already imagine how the Divine Child would try to "show off" in front of her in various ways once he found out about this.

After all, when Tingyun was a fox, she did quite a few "mischievous" things due to her physical condition.

And when the time comes, because you "don't remember" anything, you can only watch from the sidelines.
