Their commission was suspicious.

Ugh, so poor.

Even with a master-level reward, what good is Chen Luo's musical skill?

Never mind.

Anyway, this time it wasn't about earning Primogems, but about getting Wendy's help.

"But do I only need to guard the port? Do I not need to do anything?" Wendy asked.

"No, you just need to ensure the safety of Liyue Harbor. By the way, should I return the Heart of God to you?"

“If we’re not going to fight the Demon Gods, but just protecting Liyue Harbor, then we don’t need the Heart of God,” Venti said, waving his hand.

"Alright, you stay here and keep a close watch, make sure the people of Liyue Harbor don't get into any danger." Chen Luo gave Venti a couple of instructions before disappearing again in an instant.

Chen Luo wanted to call more than just these few people.

The key issue is that Chen Luo isn't sure how big the fight will be later. If it is, he'll just summon the Vortex Demon God to the War Zone and then have a righteous gang-up, so naturally he'll need to call a few more people.

As for who to call?

This includes, but is not limited to, Sirin, Xiaoyou, Durandal, Herrscher of Knowledge, etc.

To be honest, Chen Luo really felt that this faction was already more than capable of easily defeating the Vortex Demon God.

The main reason for calling them here this time is to ask them to help defend against some potential disasters that may occur in the near future.

After all, when gods fight, mortals suffer. Since Chen Luo has given the young master the "Unrestricted Talisman," he should proceed with caution.

Originally, Durandal had nothing to do with this, but when Chen Luo called Xiao You, he found that Durandal had also come along, so he pulled her over to act as a henchman.

While Durandal is better suited for a direct, aggressive approach, don't forget that the Black Abyss White Flower is the Key of Creation, and this thing has the power of protection.

Chen Luo, the one who knew the law, did not leave the other party to defend against danger at the port, but instead summoned him to accompany Chen Luo on his journey.

Chen Luo is not the Herrscher of Different Consciousness in terms of combat power, but rather the Herrscher of Different Consciousness in terms of inner demons. After all, he still needs to deal with the remnants of the Demon God later. The reason why the Rock King Emperor did not kill the Vortex Demon God is because the remnants of the Demon God are difficult to deal with.

Although theoretically the talent panel could definitely solve this problem, isn't this just in case?

It's better to play it safe, it's better to play it safe.

After making all the necessary preparations and arranging everyone in place, Chen Luo glanced at the distant Jade Pavilion and then turned to walk into the Imaginary Number Passage.

"This is bad."

At Liyue Harbor, Zhongli stood with his arms crossed, gazing at the distant Vortex Demon God.

Zhongli said things were bad not because this vortex demon was incomparably powerful.

If Zhongli could suppress the vortex demon god with a rock spear for so many years and seal it firmly, then he could naturally use it again to suppress the demon god once more.

With the Heart of God still within him, Zhongli is undoubtedly one of the most powerful among the Seven Gods.

After all, besides being the God of Contracts, Zhongli also has the title of God of War.

The reason it's considered bad is because...

“Even though the ‘Ten Thousand Taboos’ record that you imitated should only temporarily break the suppression, since the power of the ‘Ten Thousand Taboos’ is not permanent, why does this Vortex Demon God seem to have had its seal completely broken?” Zhongli frowned as he looked at the Vortex Demon God being attacked by the forces of the Jade Pavilion in the distance.

"Hmm, it seems we might have to take action again," Zhongli said with a sigh.

Although Grandpa Zhong really wanted to retire, it seemed that he couldn't retire now, given the current situation. After all, the Vortex Demon God, which had been completely unsealed, was still a demon god even though it had been suppressed for 2000 years and its combat power had been weakened. Especially since the immortals probably didn't have a way to seal it, if they killed the demon god, the remnants of the demon god would cause even more trouble for the region.

Although Zhongli wants to retire and hand over Liyue to the people of Liyue for management, this does not mean that he is playing with the safety of Liyue.

"Grandpa, it really is you!" Because things were so unexpected, Zhongli, who was too focused on the Vortex Demon God, had no time to pay attention to his surroundings. Even when someone approached him to a certain distance, he still did not notice anything.

Hearing that familiar voice, Zhong Li turned his head and saw someone he didn't know if he wanted to see.

My feelings are very complicated.

Zhongli still remembers how that drunkard used his signature to forge contracts and fool the people of Mondstadt.

Although the other side wanted to overthrow the violent rule of the nobles at the time, if you want to overthrow them, so be it, what does it have to do with me?

However, the two had been friends for a thousand years, so they were happy to see each other again.

Of course, the most crucial thing is that if the other party arrives, then things will take a turn for the better.

Since the other party is the Wind God, and the Wind God is not dead, it's normal for the Wind God to save Liyue, right?

Therefore, Zhongli did not leave after seeing Wendy.

Of course, whether or not to let Wendy take action is something that needs to be judged.

If the Seven Stars and the other immortals perform too poorly in a while, Venti won't need to intervene; Zhongli will personally handle the problem and then continue to be the Geo God for a while longer.

If the Liyue Seven Stars and the Immortals perform exceptionally well—good enough to be just one step away from defeating the fully unsealed Maelstrom—Zhongli can give them a passing grade, considering the variables involved. Then Venti can be brought in to handle the situation.

As for the fact that the other party lost the Heart of God...

Please, what god fights based on divine will?

The significance of the Heart of God to Zhongli is that it can be used to create Mora, rather than providing a boost to combat power.

Before Zhongli defeated those other demon gods, he did not possess the Heart of God.

"Grandpa, it's been a long time. I heard you recently made headlines for faking your death in public during the Seven Stars Immortal Invitation Ceremony?" Wendy, who had bounced over to Zhongli, asked curiously.

"Hmm." Zhongli nodded lightly.

"But what brings you here?" Zhongli asked.

Although the Anemo Archon Barbatos enjoys traveling across Teyvat, he recently had that incident in Mondstadt, so he should have stayed there for a while longer. Why did he suddenly end up in Liyue?

“Oh, this? A friend asked me to keep an eye on Liyue Harbor here, so that the tsunami won’t cause damage to the port when he fights the Maelstrom.” Venti said.

"Hmm? Protect Liyue Harbor?" Zhongli fell into deep thought upon hearing Venti's words.

"Who has such influence that they would invite you to come to Liyue specifically to guard the port?" Although Zhongli saw Venti in Chen Luo's bar and naturally had some guesses, she still had to ask.

Moreover, Zhongli was still very curious about Wendy's motives.

"Old man, why are you asking a question you already know the answer to? Seeing you like this reminds me that the illusion I saw when I was drunk a couple of days ago wasn't an illusion at all. You must have seen the bar, right?" Wendy chuckled and said.

As for the purpose? That's something I can't say.

Wendy can't exactly say that she came to work just to drink the Rock God's Brew made with the Immortal Ancestor's magic, can she?

I'll probably get beaten up.

"What does Chen Luo want to do?" Zhong Li looked into the distance.

Zhongli is no longer pretending.

"They probably want to kill the Whirlpool Demon God, right? That is, if someone makes a wish." Wendy said, looking at the rampaging Whirlpool Demon God in the distance.

As long as the raw stones are provided, Wendy has no doubt that Chen Luo would dare to defy all reason.

"Oh? So you have confidence in Chen Luo?" Zhong Li asked.

“Of course I have confidence. I’ve watched Chen Luo raise his child, and he’s grown up right before my eyes,” Wendy said with some relief.

Wendy's words were not unreasonable, after all, she was the bar's first customer and someone who witnessed Chen Luo's growth from an ordinary person to who he is today.

Wendy can no longer discern Chen Luo's true nature.

Wendy didn't understand why Chen Luo could grow so quickly, but seeing that he could defeat Dvalin without taking any damage, she could have some confidence in Chen Luo's combat strength.

Besides, if Chen Luo can't beat her, there's still Fu Hua, right?

“He might be able to beat me now, and defeating a weakened demon god that you suppressed for over 2000 years shouldn’t be a problem. It’s just that I’m a little worried about what kind of wish he might receive…” Wendy said with some concern.

If you receive a wish to defeat the Vortex Demon God, that would be ideal. However, if it's a kill mission, dealing with the remnants of the Demon God can be troublesome.

I don't know if Chen Luo can handle it.

"Wish?" Having heard this word from Wendy many times, and after spending time with Chen Luo these past few days, Zhong Li seemed to have sensed something.

"Well, let me tell you a little trick, Grandpa. If you encounter something you can't do or don't want to do, you can ask Chen Luo for help. Although I don't understand the principle, he might be able to collect our wishes to improve his strength, so he's very willing to help with these things."

"The premise is that it's not a particularly troublesome and easy task; otherwise, he might refuse because the reward might be very low."

"Of course, you shouldn't just take advantage of others for free. Although the other party can accept everyone's wishes, they can also choose not to accept yours. So sometimes you have to pay a price." Wendy began to explain to Zhongli the little tricks she had gradually figured out as a veteran of the bar.

Knowing that Zhongli had been to a bar, Wendy naturally understood that Zhongli would eventually become a bar patron, which is why she taught him these little tricks.

For Zhong Li, after working for so many years, can't he enjoy life now that he's retired?

Yanshen Liquor is now on sale!

It's still the Morax Celestial Ancestor's Metamorphosis flavor.

"Oh, so what price did you pay?" Zhongli looked at Wendy curiously.

“I gave him my Heart of God,” Wendy said nonchalantly.

Wendy's words left Zhong Ligan speechless.

You call this some kind of cost?

"Oh, don't get me wrong, it's not that the price can only be something like the Heart of God. Actually, it's like some little trinkets that you don't care about, such as handicrafts or collectibles, that's fine too."

“The Heart of God was originally going to be taken by the lady, but Chen Luo put a fake Heart of God with me beforehand and successfully intercepted the real one. He wanted to give it back to me, but I refused, so I gave it to him,” Wendy said.

"Then tell me, what price would be appropriate for him to defeat the Vortex Demon God?" Zhongli asked, looking at the Jade Pavilion in the distance.

Zhongli quite liked Chen Luo's habit: we give things, and the other party is responsible for doing things, which is in line with the principle of fair trade.

“Hmm, although you, sir, can produce Mora and are not short of money at all, Chen Luo just happens to be uninterested in money. How about... you bring Chen Luo a few customers, hmm, high-quality customers,” Wendy said after hesitating for a moment.

"..."

Upon hearing the words "soliciting customers," Zhongli immediately thought of Hu Tao, the head of the Rebirth Hall.

Yeah, my PTSD is acting up again...

Chapter 366 Shen He: My husband is truly amazing!

"Wow." As soon as Chen Luo stepped onto the Jade Pavilion, a large number of powerful water bullets containing abundant water elements slammed into the pavilion.

The Jade Pavilion itself was protected by immortal talismans and was naturally safe and sound, but the large magical barrier that had extended from the Jade Pavilion to accommodate everyone standing in the void was smashed to pieces.

Under the powerful area-of-effect attack of the Vortex Demon God, the massive planar magical barrier that could accommodate hundreds of people standing at the same time shattered with a crash, and everything on that magical barrier, whether people or objects, fell downwards.

Even the modified Returning Machine that Chen Luo had seen in the story and really wanted to study closely, which could fire lasers, fell downwards.

When Chen Luo appeared, he stood on that barrier, but when the barrier shattered, Chen Luo still floated there slowly. After all, being able to fly means you can do whatever you want.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Hearing the pleasant sound beside him, Chen Luo waved his hand, and countless threads quickly spread downwards from his side, binding the Thousand Rock Army soldiers who were unable to fly and falling down tightly, while throwing them onto the floor of the Jade Pavilion.

Chen Luo received about 10 missions in a short period of time, all of which were missions to save lives.

It's a pity that Chen Luo only completed about half of it, because the other half was snatched up by those flying immortals...

Although he obtained more than 400 raw stones, Chen Luo was still somewhat unhappy.

But there's no order of priority when it comes to saving lives, so Chen Luo couldn't really complain. He could only stare at Liu Yun and the other True Lords with a hint of resentment.

The number of Thousand Rock Army soldiers on the Qunyu Pavilion was unexpectedly small. Chen Luo originally thought that the original plot only had a few Thousand Rock Army soldiers, so the number of soldiers was so small in order to save money, but now it seems that the number of soldiers is indeed small.

It seems that ordinary Thousand Rock Army soldiers are completely unable to help in dealing with the Demon God. In fact, ordinary Thousand Rock Army soldiers might even lose their footing when facing the Demon God directly, so there is no need for too many Thousand Rock Army soldiers to protect them.

Most of these stationed Millennium Army soldiers are there to protect the immortals and prevent them from being ambushed when using the Return to the End Machine.

Because the Fools really dared to use teleportation magic to travel to the Jade Pavilion and cause trouble while these immortals were resisting the demon god. At least Chen Luo had just seen several Fool corpses that had fallen into the sea.

Tsk tsk, no wonder the Fatui have brought trouble upon themselves; at least they didn't do anything decent in Liyue.

It's one thing to do something inhumanely, but to do it openly and blatantly is another.

You're interfering in a situation where the Demon God of the Vortex can handle everyone by himself? Aren't you just asking for trouble?

Any member of the Seven Stars with a temper wouldn't dare say they have a temper unless they arrested and tortured every single Fatui member in Liyue.

"Chen Luo, you've finally arrived." Yingmei walked over when everyone had been safely rescued and returned to the platform of Qunyu Pavilion.

After Yingmei, Shenhe arrived in a hurry.
