Their commission was suspicious.

Were you doing that to replenish your magic? Put your hand on your conscience and ask yourself that!

"You talk like you're not greedy. We're all equally greedy, what right do you have to talk to me about this?" Yun Xia retorted.

"Stop arguing, you two! The real issue is why, after you two froze the water park, everyone had to help you remove the ice, instead of you two standing there alone trying to do it yourselves?" Bai Zhi couldn't hold back any longer.

Why should everyone share the blame for the mistakes you two made?

De-icing is certainly not tiring for a gifted individual; one punch can shatter a large chunk of ice. However, the problem is that all the afternoon's time was wasted on de-icing, which caused Yun Xia and Yun Lian'er to completely disrupt Bai Zhi's planned escape route.

Bai Zhi spent three low-grade spirit stones to purchase Chen Luo's usage rights for one day from Su Yuan. According to the agreement, Su Yuan was responsible for distracting the others around Chen Luo, and then Bai Zhi would take Chen Luo shopping, with all expenses paid by Bai Zhi.

Now, things are really messed up. The three low-grade spirit stones have been spent, but the 20 yuan hasn't been spent.

Bai Zhi felt she had suffered a huge loss.

Of course, money is secondary. Anyway, we can apply for more funds from the gullible Pope later, and maybe we can even swindle more funds for the event.

The problem is that Chen Luo, a homebody, doesn't go out for 10 days or half a month. When he finally went out, he encountered such a terrible thing. Who knows when we'll be able to go shopping together again?

"..." Chen Luo just watched quietly as Bai Zhi, Yun Xia, and Yun Lian'er argued, and then sat down next to Shen He.

"You seemed to be having a lot of fun de-icing this afternoon," Chen Luo said.

"Mm." Shen He nodded.

"Although it was tiring, it was very interesting."

"Although the process was slightly different, as long as the result is good, there's no problem." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

Although, enjoying a snow and ice park in the middle of summer while de-icing the water park was still a novel experience.

Although things took a very unexpected turn, Shen He did experience something unprecedented.

Yes, Chen Luo too.

As for why it was Yun Lian'er and Yun Xia who made the mistake, everyone else had to stay there to defrost...

It can only be said that Yun Xia and Yun Lian'er were unusually united in their concern about Chen Luo leaving their sight to go shopping with others, and thus issued two commissions to Chen Luo.

That adds up to 250 raw stones. Chen Luo couldn't resist the temptation and stayed at the water park to start de-icing.

Although Chen Luo had said that everyone else was free to move around and go wherever they wanted, unexpectedly, no one left the water park full of ice and snow.

"Luckily I didn't go with you guys, otherwise I would have been the one in trouble." Ye Yunshang said while lying on Chen Luo's sofa, playing a game.

“But you should go out for a walk too. Staying at home all day isn’t good for your health.” Chen Luo’s gaze shifted to Ye Yunshang.

Chen Luo had actually been thinking of taking Ye Yunshang out for some exercise before he went out this afternoon.

Moreover, Chen Luo even used persuasion skills.

Then... [55] (1d80)

Chen Luo's attempt to persuade her failed, which only strengthened Ye Yunshang's resolve to stay home.

"I don't think you, someone who stays at home all day, have the right to say that to me. If I'm a typical homebody, then you're a typical homebody," Ye Yunshang said, somewhat unconvinced.

I have to be busy with some departmental matters every day and try to contact the river god who has been out of contact for many days, but you really stay at home every day and don't go out?

How dare you call me a homebody?

"I..." Although Chen Luo really wanted to tell Ye Yunshang that he went to other worlds every day and was not a shut-in, he couldn't say the words.

Chen Luo doesn't mind telling Ye Yunshang and Bai Zhi about his identity as the River God and his bar business today.

Bai Zhi didn't say anything. Chen Luo could tell that although Bai Zhi was physically in the church, her heart was just giving up.

To the church, Bai Zhi was nothing more than a figurehead who took money but did nothing. Her return to Xinghai City to find the River God was simply so that she could have a legitimate paid vacation and eat and drink at public expense.

Furthermore, Bai Zhi's ultimate reason for choosing to become Chen Luo's bodyguard was actually quite simple. Bai Zhi was simply greedy...

Therefore, there is definitely no problem in telling Bai Zhi her specific identity.

As for Ye Yunshang... During the time Chen Luo spent with Ye Yunshang, it was clear that Ye Yunshang didn't have much ambition; staying at home was the best reward for her.

After signing the contract, Chen Luo no longer needed to worry about Ye Yunshang plotting to betray him.

However, Chen Luo was really curious: if he didn't tell Ye Yunshang the truth, when would Ye Yunshang realize that he was the River God?

As a rare and gifted individual with a sharp mind, if Ye Yunshang hadn't discovered the River God's true identity, then Chen Luo wouldn't need to worry about his own true identity being discovered by others.

So... I'm sorry, Sister Ye Yunshang, you should just obediently continue guessing the true identity of the River God.

Once you've completely figured it out, I'll tell you my real identity. And I'll give you a huge red envelope as compensation.

As for Bai Zhi, Chen Luo was considering when to tell her his true identity.

Should we tell her now, or wait until Bai Zhi reveals her identity as the Angel of Death before we both reveal our identities?

However, to be honest, he seemed to have told Bai Zhi his true identity before, but Bai Zhi didn't believe him at the time.

"Cousin..." Su Yuan peeked out from behind Chen Luo and called softly.

"What?" Chen Luo glared at Su Yuan with annoyance.

Chen Luo still doesn't know what the third trouble Su Yuan caused was.

Although Su Yuan only mentioned two bad things she had done, she hadn't finished speaking yet, which meant that the trouble she had caused was definitely more than two, at least three, and there was no limit to how many.

"Um... here you go." Su Yuan smiled sheepishly as she took out three low-grade spirit stones and pushed them in front of Chen Luo.

"Hmm, what are you going to do with this? Don't think you can bribe me with this little bit of spirit stone." Chen Luo took the three spirit stones that Su Yuan handed over.

"Actually, these are the three low-grade spirit stones that Bai Zhi gave me," Su Yuan said shyly.

"...These are the three low-grade spirit stones that bought my ownership for a day. Oh right, I almost forgot. How dare you sell my ownership for only three low-grade spirit stones? Do you think your cousin is that cheap?" After learning the origin of these three low-grade spirit stones, Chen Luo was furious.

You, Su Yuan, sold me out for a mere three low-grade spirit stones?

"Actually, it's not just three low-grade spirit stones. There's also a lost sword technique, that's the important thing. These three low-grade spirit stones are just a bonus," Su Yuan said apologetically.

"So what exactly is that sword move?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"I don't know. Bai Zhi said she would give it to me after things were done." Su Yuan shook her head.

"So what do you want from me? You think you can get my forgiveness with just these three low-grade spirit stones?" Chen Luo tossed the three low-grade spirit stones in his hand.

Even if you add a lost sword move, it still wouldn't be enough to buy your cousin's sword!

"No, I came to see my cousin. You want him to ask if Sister Baizhi can sell me that lost sword technique. The price is negotiable."

"Go talk to her yourself, I don't care." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Su Yuan.

"Ring ring ring!"

“Master…” Su Yuan looked at Ye Yunshang for help.

"Don't come to me. I can't control your cousin. This is a matter for you young people, so let you young people solve it yourselves. I'm just a weak, pitiful, and helpless gamer," Ye Yunshang said while leaning back on the sofa and playing a game.

"But if you don't help me, Master, my cousin might beat me to death."

"Alright, stop pretending to be weak. Your cousin is no match for you." Ye Yunshang didn't care about her disciple's life or death at all.

Or rather, Ye Yunshang had great confidence in her disciple's abilities.

"emmm..."

Ye Yunshang had confidence in Su Yuan's martial arts skills, but Su Yuan didn't have much confidence in her own abilities.

Knowing her cousin's strength, Su Yuan realized she couldn't beat him.

And this isn't just an ordinary defeat.

If it were just a matter of ordinary combat strength, Su Yuan wouldn't care. We sword cultivators would rather break than bend; even if we can't win, we'll still make you suffer.

But this is my cousin.

And most importantly, the difference in combat strength is secondary; my cousin has a lot of prank items.

Like that damn revolver!

The thought of possibly lying on the ground laughing for hours made Su Yuan's brain tremble.

"cousin……"

“Calling her ‘Uncle’ won’t help.” Chen Luo felt he needed to teach his cousin a lesson.

"Ding-a-ling!" The doorbell rang.

"You just wait, I'll settle the score with you when I get back." Chen Luo glared at Su Yuan before walking towards the door.

Although Chen Luo rarely interacts with the outside world, he is not a recluse and still has some social interactions.

At least it existed before.

However, to prevent any potential "meeting and killing" incidents, Chen Luo still used his Destiny ability to take a look, and only breathed a sigh of relief after discovering it was a delivery.

"Oh, it's you again. Long time no see." Chen Luo greeted the deliveryman after opening the door.

This is someone I know.

Seeing this delivery guy usually means that... Chen Luo's parents have sent back some strange things from abroad again.

"What strange things did your uncle and aunt buy this time? It's quite heavy." Although the deliveryman was curious, he still dutifully handed the delivery slip to Chen Luo.

"Why don't we just open it and see?" Chen Luo said, tearing open the poorly packaged package.

The deliveryman, watching Chen Luo's series of actions, changed his expression from curiosity to astonishment, and then to terror.

“…Ahem, generally speaking, it’s normal for parents to send their child an adult doll, right?” Chen Luo was equally surprised, but tried to explain something.

However, at that moment, the girl (a young girl) in the box sat up and looked at Chen Luo.

"My name is Abigail, and you... are you Chen Luo?"

"Well, from a generally rational perspective, it's quite reasonable for a doll to be able to talk... right?" Chen Luo turned to look at the deliveryman whose gaze had shifted from looking at Chen Luo to looking at a criminal, and who had even picked up his phone to call the police.

Chapter 939 Chen Luo: Child Bride? Mom, do you know you've broken the law?

From a purely rational perspective, it is already quite absurd for parents to give their children female dolls with the body shape of teenage girls, and if the doll can talk, then there is a much bigger problem.

If a normal person found a living girl inside the large box of a package they were delivering, their first reaction would be—are these people human traffickers?

This is a very normal thought, so normal that even the deliveryman in front of Chen Luo thought the same way.

"In conclusion, I think it's a bit unusual for a girl to come out of a box, but if it's just a prank, then it's perfectly normal, right? Look, she didn't try to run away or ask for help at all," Chen Luo said to the deliveryman.

【persuade】

[Ding! You have received a 50-sided die]

【22】（1d50）

(Strict logic combined with an absurd reality often results in failure, but you're lucky the person you're trying to persuade has low moral character. Congratulations, you've won.)

Successful persuasion

"Is that so?" Looking at Chen Luo's very serious face, the deliveryman wondered if there was something wrong with him or with the world.

However, given that Chen Luo looked so kind, the deliveryman figured that he was the one with the problem.

Persuasion is such a magical skill.

While persuasion itself possesses considerable persuasive power, its effectiveness is not ideal in non-apocalyptic environments.

But if nothing's wrong, isn't there still the dice that can defy fate?

"My aunt and uncle do like to send back some strange things. Last time it was a pillar, and this time they played a prank. It's quite in line with their personality," the deliveryman said with an awkward laugh.

That's wonderful! I wish I had parents like that too. This little girl looks quite cute. When will my parents mail me a little girl?

“…Indeed, my parents always like to send me some very strange things,” Chen Luo said after hesitating for a while.

But Chen Luo himself felt that this was extremely absurd.

Why? In the past, it was one thing to send back a pillar or some strange mythical items, but why did you dare to send back a girl this time?

I shouldn't have trusted my parents' integrity and opened the package in front of others.

Outrageous!

How dare you send a teenage girl back via express delivery? And how did you get through security?

Even mailing a small animal carries risks, let alone mailing a person.
