Their commission was suspicious.

Then the statue picked up the staff, which the worshippers called the healing staff, with its other hand and struck them one by one, sending the three thieves flying into the sea like baseballs.

After the three petty thieves struggled to climb ashore from the sea, several threads suddenly emerged from the staff, binding the three of them like caterpillars and suspending them on a street lamp with lanterns hanging on it, which had been hastily built by the Thousand Rock Army in 10 minutes.

Hmm, now I suddenly understand what these streetlights are for.

It seems that its main purpose is not to illuminate the statue, but to provide a place for people to hang on it.

After doing all this, the statue returned to its original pose.

"Help! The immortal is hitting me!"

"Immortal, we dare not do it again! Please spare us! I will build you a longevity tablet!"

"Boss, it's all your fault for coming up with this terrible idea!"

After the three brothers were hung from the street lamp, they shouted and swayed back and forth, trying to break free from the seemingly thin thread, but the thread was very elastic and showed no signs of breaking.

"Wow, this statue can actually move! And it's amazing!" Paimon exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly.

"Don't be surprised. You've traveled to two countries, haven't you encountered plenty of new things?" Yingmei patted Paimon's head to comfort him.

"Besides, this is a miracle." Yingmei said meaningfully.

"Hmm... but this way of tying people up like caterpillars reminds me of someone." Paimon suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu.

"Oh, who is it?" Yingmei asked, standing under the street lamp and looking up at the three people hanging from it.

“It’s that wicked guy Chen Luo! But he usually ties people up like silkworm cocoons, it seems, for the purpose of treating illnesses,” Paimon said, stroking his chin.

"Paimon, don't you really think this statue looks like someone? And don't you think this staff looks like someone else's staff? How come you haven't noticed by now? Although we weren't in Liyue Harbor yesterday and didn't see the specifics, the answer is already obvious, isn't it?" Yingmei was deeply worried about Paimon's intelligence.

But never mind, it's Paimon after all, let's be more understanding.

As long as you know when you're hungry to eat, when you're sleepy to sleep, and when it rains to use an umbrella, that's enough.

If all else fails, at least you'll know you're lost and can find the Zero Point Bar.

"Ah, it really was Chen Luo who did it? What the hell, that despicable Chen Luo! He made me repent in front of his statue for so long. Next time I see Chen Luo, I will definitely make ten wishes for him, and I won't even give him a reward!" Knowing that she had made such a fool of herself in front of Chen Luo's statue, Pai Meng stomped her feet in anger.

"Say that again if you dare?"

"I'll say it again! Next time I see Chen Luo, I'm going to make him 10 wishes, and I won't give him any rewards..." Paimon's voice trailed off.

At first, Paimon thought it was Yingmei trying to provoke him, but the more Paimon thought about it, the more something seemed off. The voice just now sounded like a man's, and it sounded very familiar.

It wasn't until a cold, rod-like object pressed against Paimon's temple that Paimon remembered the terror of being dominated by the Friendship Revolver.

Chapter 843 Shen He: The Feeling of Being Moved

"Hey, Luo, let's talk about something," Paimon said, pestering Chen Luo.

"what's up?"

"Why don't you move this statue to your home, and charge 100 Mora for each person who comes to worship it? Imagine how many people come and go in Liyue every day! We'll be rich in no time!" Paimon's eyes were practically shaped into Mora.

“…How about this, you go and get people to worship this statue. As long as they worship sincerely, I'll give you 100 Mora per person, with no upper limit, how about that?” Chen Luo sighed and said to Paimon.

"Huh?" Paimon was greatly shocked.

Why are there people in this world who treat others' illnesses and then have to pay for it?

Why?

"That's because my target isn't Mora. Otherwise, wouldn't it be faster to make money by treating those rich people? Although there are fewer rich people, they give more money."

"It's amazing that there are still people in this world who don't care about Mora." Paimon looked at Chen Luo with some curiosity.

"Little cutie, can you stop thinking about Mora all the time?" Chen Luo tugged at Paimon's cheek.

"In short, this statue is perfect here. It can heal and save lives without costing money, and it won't cause the collapse of Liyue's medical industry due to the statue's healing effects."

It's worth noting that, in any world, there are always more rich people than poor people.

Even if they weren't poor, their family wasn't very wealthy either.

People from less affluent families tend to procrastinate when they get sick. They are reluctant to see a doctor for minor injuries or pains, and they feel that seeing a doctor for serious injuries or pains is ineffective and a waste of money, so they are unwilling to go.

Now is the time to sincerely worship this statue, for faith in the statue grants eternal life!

With this statue, the pharmacy might lose some revenue from wound medicine, but for serious illnesses like colds and fevers, people would still have to go to the pharmacy to get their medicine.

Although the ability to transform from a cocoon into a butterfly is not incapable of curing minor illnesses like colds and fevers, cold medicine is not an expensive item. People who are sick naturally do not want to brave the wind and rain to come to the port; it is more convenient to get medicine.

"Although I don't know what you're up to, this is undoubtedly a good thing." Although he didn't earn Mora, Paimon thought about it and realized that he didn't really need Mora, although it would be better if he had some.

"What about the three of them?" Paimon asked, pointing to the three brothers hanging from the lamppost.

"Let them stay up there for a few hours. They'll be brought down when the time is up," Chen Luo said.

They are greedy for small gains but not for great evils; hanging them for a few hours will make them behave.

"Why does this statue move? It's really amazing."

"Actually, this statue is a doll. Since it's a doll, it can naturally move. In fact, there's another reason for placing this doll in this location: to resist external enemies. After all, Liyue Harbor is a port city, and if foreign enemies invade, there's a 50% chance they'll come from the sea. That's why the statue was moved here from the original location near Yujingtai," Chen Luo explained.

“That’s well said, but I’m hungry…” Paimon’s attention was clearly not on Chen Luo; instead, he clutched his stomach and said.

"Didn't you just eat a Mora meat?" Yingmei asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yingmei never understood why Paimon, who was so small, had the same food expenses as her.

"But I'm hungry, so why don't you open earlier today, A-Luo?" Tai Meng asked expectantly.

"No." Chen Luo shook his head.

"I'm going home now. Should I just wait for the bar to open in two hours, or come over to my place?" Chen Luo asked.

"Is this your home in another world?" Tai Meng's eyes lit up.

"No, at my home in Liyue Harbor."

"What? Alo, you actually have enough money to buy a house in Liyue Harbor? Are you no longer a traveler? Shouldn't travelers be homeless?" Yingmei, also a traveler, felt disgusted by Chen Luo's house-buying behavior.

"..."

If you have the Dust Song Pot and can make the world your home, why can't I have a home in every corner of the world?

Oh wait, you don't have the Dust Song Pot yet.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, bars and Chengehu are not much different. Both can invite people in, and both have places to stay.

The only problem is that the bar is a bit small.

In the end, Yingmei and Paimon followed Chen Luo to his new home, a place that even Chen Luo had never seen before.

"Wow, Alo, why did you choose a commercial area as your residence? And it's a prime location, isn't it? Isn't it much more expensive than a residential area?" Paimon asked Chen Luo with some confusion after they arrived at the location.

"This place was originally intended to be used as a shop. Ningguang wanted me to open a branch of her bar, but after learning about the bar's situation, she converted it into a residence. Maybe I can start a small business after I go bankrupt," Chen Luo said.

"But wouldn't it be noisy living here every day?"

In terms of value alone, this prime commercial location is certainly much more expensive than ordinary residential properties, but it doesn't seem very suitable for living.

"What do you know? This is called 'the truly wise live in seclusion in the city'," Chen Luo said after thinking for a moment.

“Alright, how about I find someone to buy another property?” Chen Luo turned to look at Shen He.

After all, Chen Luo probably doesn't live here much, but Shen He is more likely to stay here for a long time.

"Alright, that's enough. Do you think Ningguang wouldn't consider things that you would? Even if Ningguang doesn't, I certainly can." A voice came from inside the house, and Yelan slowly walked out.

"Although this is a bustling business area, there are no vendors shouting nearby, so it's not too noisy and is actually quite quiet. Especially since the surrounding area mainly sells high-end luxury goods, there won't be any crowds. So there's absolutely no need to worry about any noise."

"Hey, Yelan, what are you doing here?" Paimon greeted Yelan.

"I'll take charge of decorating, cleaning, and repairing this shop," Ye Lan said.

Normally, this kind of work wouldn't fall to Ye Lan, but she was conveniently located nearby.

"You've really gone to a lot of trouble," Chen Luo said sincerely.

"It's really amazing to have a mansion in another world, especially one with shops downstairs and residences upstairs," Chen Luo said, looking at the house in front of him.

"Here are the keys." Ye Lan tossed a bunch of keys to Chen Luo, who then tossed them to Shen He.

“This place is close to the Rock Tea House. If anything happens, go find Ye Lan. If Ye Lan can’t handle it, then come find me. Of course, you can come directly to me,” Chen Luo said.

"..." by Ye Lan.

However, Ye Lan did not refute anything.

"If you want to experience the local customs and culture of Liyue Harbor, you can stay here for a while. If you don't want to, you can go back to the mountain directly."

"Wow, I'm so envious! They actually have their own house in Liyue Harbor," Paimon said.

“If you want, I can get you a house,” Chen Luo said.

"Forget it, no thanks. We're going to travel to other countries, we can't stay in the same place forever." Paimon shook his head.

"Are you still planning to continue looking for your brother?" Chen Luo asked Yingmei.

"Mm." Yingmei nodded.

"Although we've already met once, it's precisely because we've met once that more mysteries have been revealed to me. According to my brother, he traveled the world 500 years ago, and now it's my turn. Perhaps I can learn more about the truth of what happened back then during my travels."

"This must be the fate of travelers, to travel as long as life goes on. But if you don't have a place to stay in Liyue, you can come here to rest and keep Shen He company. Don't waste money on inns." As Chen Luo spoke, another set of keys appeared in his hand, which he then tossed to Ying Mei.

Void Treasury had already copied the key a moment ago.

“Or you could stay here for the time being. Shen He is going to stay at my house for a few days anyway, so you can experience it firsthand. If you have any problems, just let me know and I will make improvements to the house,” Chen Luo said.

"Huh? You mean Shen He is going to your world?"

"Well, for various reasons, Shen He needs to stay in our world for a few days, and he will come back after a few days."

“Alright then, we’ll help you experience whether this house is quiet or not,” Paimon said after thinking for a moment.

"Then I'll leave it to you. We need to go home. If we don't go back soon, we won't be able to finish outlining the Sealing Technique for Shen He before we open the shop." After saying goodbye to the few people who wanted to continue working, Chen Luo led the Herrscher of Knowledge and the others back to the bar.

"Luminous, have you noticed that Chen Luo seems to have more puppets again?" Paimon said to Luminous after Chen Luo and the others left.

"Isn't that the black-haired, silver-haired doll sitting on Chen Luo's shoulder? Isn't that the doll that always sits on the top shelf of the bar's liquor cabinet? You should have seen it before, right?"

"Besides, it's normal for Chen Luo, as a puppeteer, to create different puppets, so why are you asking about this?" Yingmei asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The important thing is that you absolutely must not be like Chen Luo, that fickle guy, changing dolls every three days," Paimon said to Yingmei quite seriously.

"...But even Chen Luo always has the Herrscher of Knowledge by his side. No matter how the puppets around him change, the Herrscher of Knowledge is always there for him." Yingmei finally understood what Paimon meant, but she also felt that Chen Luo's reputation had been unfairly damaged.

“That makes sense…” Paimon fell into thought.

"The little guy is quite possessive," Ye Lan couldn't help but remark.

……

Stardust Ink is essentially a highly viscous stellar energy formed by attracting starlight through a special method; however, it's something that most people simply can't do.

Because of the ratio of stellar power to one's own spiritual power, if there is even the slightest error, the Star Ink will become completely unusable. In addition, in Chinese mythology, each star has different attributes.

In addition to the ratio of mixing with spiritual energy, the stellar power drawn from each star direction must also be correct.

Fortunately, Chen Luo instantly acquired the skill to use the sealing technique at the master level, so this was not a difficult task for him.

"Although I really want to say that male patients should be treated with minimal intervention and female patients should be treated by taking off all their clothes, I feel like I'll get beaten up if I say it out loud." Chen Luo looked at the ball of starlight in his hand, which was as dark as ink, and then looked at Shen He sitting opposite him.

At this moment, Chen Luo had just condensed Star Ink on the roof of his house.

"You've already said it." The Herrscher of Knowledge slapped him without any hesitation.

You want to take off all your clothes? I'll beat you up, you believe I?

"Forget it, Shen He, no matter how outrageous things happen later, don't be surprised, stay calm," Chen Luo said, feeling that he had been slapped for no reason but also felt that he was not innocent.

"Yes." Shen He trusted Chen Luo quite a bit.

"That's good!" Chen Luo took a deep breath and then reached out his hand towards Shen He's left chest.

As he was about to touch the deep left breast, Shin Hak's face turned slightly red upon seeing this.

Even those who understood the law couldn't help but clench their fists.

However, to the surprise of the Lawbringer, Chen Luo's hand actually passed straight through the pile of useless fat and entered Shen He's chest.

When Chen Luo withdrew his hand, he was holding a beating heart.

"Sometimes I feel these immortal techniques are quite outrageous, actually able to remove the heart completely without affecting the original owner's survival." Chen Luo complained as he used Star Ink to inscribe complex runes on the heart.
