Their commission was suspicious.

Thinking of this scene, Tingyun looked up at Chen Luo with a hint of resentment.

On the other hand, as Tingyun's understanding of Chen Luo deepened, she occasionally wondered if Chen Luo had noticed anything about this matter, but firstly, Chen Luo's expression remained normal, and secondly, Tingyun herself dared not face it...

But now, the problem is right in front of us.

As everyone knows, Chen Luo is omnipotent in bars.

As is widely known, the stars are omnipotent in the universe.

"Alright, Wangcai. Stop looking at me like that. I admit... I did see through your identity a while before you turned back into your true form." Chen Luo was the first to concede.

"Phew..." Ting Yun breathed a sigh of relief after Chen Luo made the first breakthrough.

"Then, my benefactor, when was the period of time you mentioned?" After putting down the burden in her heart, Tingyun regained her usual composure.

"This one……"

"Please... answer honestly, my benefactor," Tingyun asked with a smile.

To get the absolutely correct answer from Chen Luo, the first step is to issue a commission, which is already a common tactic among regular bar patrons.

"The day before we arrived at the Immortal Ship," Chen Luo said.

"I see. I thought my benefactor... wait, wasn't that the beginning?" Tingyun recalled for a moment and realized something was wrong.

"Huh? Ah... well..." Chen Luo's eyes darted around.

"Chen Luo! You better explain yourself! Did you know the whole story from the moment you got my hands on me, but you just stood there watching me act all cute and silly, and even gave me the wicked name 'Wangcai' (meaning 'prosperous')..."

Tingyun wanted to grab his own fan, but found that it wasn't with him, so he grabbed his seal of the ferryman.

Tingyun now seems to have put the matter of the contract with Aha out of his mind.

Even the way they addressed Chen Luo changed from "my benefactor" to "Chen Luo."

"No." Chen Luo shook his head solemnly.

"Oh...that's alright." Tingyun put down the seal in her hand.

"To be precise, I knew about it before Aha handed you over to me."

"!!!"

"Wangcai, it's really not my fault. It's just that that bastard Aha gave me too many raw stones. You know I couldn't refuse!" Chen Luo tried to use the name Wangcai to awaken the bond between himself and Tingyun.

"Chen! Luo!" Hearing Chen Luo call him Wangcai again, Ting Yun was even more furious.

In the past, Tingyun was adept at using all sorts of shrewd tactics, but now Tingyun felt it was necessary to let Chen Luo see her ruthless methods!

"Help! The deceased stole his own offerings and used them to attack someone!"

"You're still screaming!"

They had intended to give Chen Luo and Ting Yun a dozen minutes to chat and ease Ting Yun's heavy mood, but less than a minute later, everyone saw Ting Yun chase after Chen Luo and fight his way out of the [consciousness blind spot] he had created.

It looks like a full-blown brawl is about to break out.

The crowd rushed forward to dissuade them.

Although Tingyun's mood does seem less heavy now, it's not normal for him to suddenly become furious, is it?

Having witnessed the entire process clearly, Greta wrote a few words in her notebook with a paintbrush: Chen Luo, who loves to play pranks.

After thinking for a while, I added a few more words: Chen Luo, who is greedy for money (raw stones), and Chen Luo, who is a genius at chatting.

However... as expected of a traveler, he had such a rich experience in just one morning.

This Greta brought a lot of inspiration.

But that's not enough.

Greta needs to gather enough inspiration, and then go all out!

……

"Hiss... Wangcai really goes all out." Chen Luo sat in the bar and rubbed his face.

Tingyun didn't do anything excessive like scratching her own face; she just bit Chen Luo's face.

It's clear that Tingyun is quite intoxicated.

"Wangcai is really too much. Unlike me, I only feel sorry for my brother." Shenzi removed Chen Luo's hand from his face and then gently rubbed it with her own hand.

"If you could tone down your smile a little, your words would be more convincing," Chen Luo said irritably.

"Ah, really?" The goddess pulled her hand away and rubbed her face.

No, I can't laugh so happily.

Not at least not now.

"That Wangcai is absolutely awful! Brother, you should just abandon her. Hmm, that's decided. I'll go and tear down her nest in a bit!" Shenzi said, feigning anger as he clenched his fist.

"Just shut up, Wangcai... I mean, Tingyun is still watching from the side."

"..." by Tingyun.

Tingyun sat at a distance, staring intently at Chen Luo, who was lying in a chair, and the pink-haired fox whispering slanderous words beside him.

That wretched fox!

"But you're also wrong, brother. After all... how could you go looking for someone else's fox when you already have several foxes at home?" Yae no Miko complained.

"That's enough!" Tingyun slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"Oh, brother, Wangcai is mean to me." Yae no Miko pretended to be weak and hid in Chen Luo's arms.

"!!!" Tingyun's body froze instantly.

"Alright, stop arguing. It must be Aha's fault, yes, that's right, it must be!" Chen Luo tried to ease the tension between the two foxes.

Two foxes cannot share one mountain... unless they are a mother and a daughter.

Although the relationship between Fox Palace and Yae no Miko is not exactly that of mother and daughter, it is that of elder and junior, so the two of them get along without any problems.

However, after seeing yet another fox transformed into a human, the divine child became wary again.

Oh no, why are there so many foxes in the house?

"jingle!"

“My dear friend, how could you say such a thing about me?” Aha walked in and said warmly.

"If it's not your fault, is it mine?"

When Tingyun saw Aha, he glared at him angrily, but didn't say anything.

A few words of insult would have been enough, but Tingyun actually dared to insult him to his face?

What if that bastard Aha uses his power again to switch me and Huanlong again? Huanlong has been beaten up by me for so long... who knows what Huanlong will do to me.

“Alright, my dear friend, I didn’t come here to talk about that, nor to tell you any lame jokes. I’m here to invite you to a grand event in Pinocchio,” Aha said with a smile.

We can't afford to offend Chen Luo, or we'll be left wondering where to have fun.

Ahha admits that there is plenty of fun in this world, but with Chen Luo, there is even more fun to be had!

"Pinocchio, the star of the event? What are you up to now?"

"My friend, don't be so wary. I just want some fun. Besides, friend, aren't you really interested in comedian Hipper?"

"His family and your paradise are quite similar."

"How about we both steal her house?"

"..."

It can only be said that he truly lives up to his name, Aha; his skill is already at the pinnacle of human achievement.

The ordinary Masked Fool uses planets as his playground, but Aha is different; Aha plays with the Star Gods.

A true, ultimate, obsessive, and eccentric person.

"No need. If I want to become a Star God, I can seize it myself, and it's not difficult. Why don't you tell me what you plan to do at the Grand Gathering Star Pinocchio?" Chen Luo shook his head and refused.

Although the God of Comedy and Chen Luo's Puppet Paradise do have some overlapping attributes, Chen Luo wouldn't steal the other's power, because it wouldn't complement Chen Luo's abilities.

"What are you going to do... guess?" Aha gave a wicked smile, looking anything but benevolent.

But given that the other party is Ah, maybe Ah is planning to do something good.

This possibility is unlikely, but it's not impossible.

Chen Luo was still considering whether to accept Aha's invitation, and whether Aha would personally intervene.

Or perhaps, Aha intends to give Chen Luo a good life like Tingyun and Huanlong.

"We'll see," Chen Luo said, somewhat conflicted.

However, since the user-friendly plugin didn't issue a warning, it means that nothing too outrageous has happened.

"Well... I'll be waiting for you at Pinocchio, the Star of the Grand Event. Aha!"

"Oh, by the way, Tingyun, would you be interested in pledging your faith in me? I'll share some of my power with you. After all, even I couldn't pull off something as extraordinary as eating three large bowls of food at my own table. You have the makings of the Masked Fool!" Aha affirmed Tingyun's abilities.

"Get out!"

Ting Yun was so angry she wanted to hit someone.

Are you incapable of doing it? Are you immortal?

He not only killed the person but also destroyed their spirit; truly a shrew!

"Don't look at me like that, Wangcai... Tingyun, you've been missing for so long, now that you're back, you must have things to take care of." Chen Luo said to Tingyun, who was staring straight at him after Aha left.

"My benefactor, are you planning to send me away?" Tingyun asked with a smile.

How could Chen Luo dare to nod?

"Of course not. You can stay in the bar as long as you like, it's no problem for me." Chen Luo shook his head.

"But how dare I go back now?" Tingyun sighed.

The atmosphere had reached such a point that Tingyun felt he should die first and then wait for the people from the immortal ship to rescue him.

The atmosphere's reached... How about I kill someone for everyone?

"No, what I mean is... the business related to the Paradise Coins that connect with the Paradise Shop is under the Minghuo Merchant Guild, which is under your name. If you don't go back soon, someone might steal it," Chen Luo warned.

"what?"

Tingyun stood up.

Is someone trying to steal my sales?

“That’s right, someone is trying to steal your sales.” Chen Luo nodded.

“Then I might really have to go back…” Tingyun stood up.

There's some news that's not too good, but not too bad either.

The bad news is that Tingyun's body was taken over by Huanlong, but the good news is that only Huanlong's body was taken over.

The other members of the Minghuo Merchant Guild are still alive and well.

But without Tingyun, the group was leaderless.

“But…” Tingyun glanced at Chen Luo again.

"Don't worry, here's a ring for you. It will make others less surprised when they see you." Chen Luo handed a ring to Ting Yun.

Even the strongest wounds cannot withstand repeated reopening.

If every person Tingyun meets asks her why she's still alive, she might develop a psychological trauma from it.

“That illusion…” Tingyun hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

After Huanlong formed the ghost-catching team, he entrusted it to Xing the day before because Tingyun ran to the World Tree and buried himself there this morning. Xing took Huanlong to deal with the Suiyang incident.

However, before heading to the ceremony, Xing entrusted Huanlong to Huo Huo.

Therefore, Huanlong may not be aware of this yet.

But Tingyun can't live without Huanlong, just as penguins can't live without DouDou. (The penguins' daily routine: eating, sleeping, and playing with DouDou.)

"It's not a big problem. When Huanlong comes back, give him a surprise. I'll have someone keep it a secret."

"Tingyun, take care. Until you return... I will take good care of your benefactor." The goddess's lips curled into an undisguised smile.
