Their commission was suspicious.

Hmm, perhaps Chen Luo could be an exception this time?

To put it bluntly, even if you were playing Russian roulette with Yan Shuangying, you might still be able to catch him without bullets in his gun.

However, the Night King doesn't really like Chen Luo getting too close to him or standing behind him.

The Night King always had a feeling that his opponent might stab him in the back at any moment.

“That’s right. Once a mission is issued, it cannot be canceled,” Chen Luo nodded.

"Not even the person who made the wish?"

"No." Chen Luo shook his head firmly.

"...Aren't there any exceptions?" The Night King was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

The Night King couldn't tell how strong Chen Luo was, but he was definitely stronger than himself.

Most importantly, Chen Luo, like You, possesses the ability of words.

Moreover, Chen Luo also possesses those strange tools that can cause excruciating pain...

The Night King didn't want to spend his days on edge, constantly worried that Chen Luo might suddenly shoot him out of the blue.

Even setting aside fatal attacks, the Night King couldn't stand the occasional bullet that made him laugh for 10 minutes straight.

Damn it! What kind of Yorozuya is this despicable?!

I originally wanted to die, but you insisted on awakening my will to live. Now, I have the will to live, and I even have some desire to explore. And now you're telling me that you accepted the kill order I issued?

you……

"No swearing." Chen Luo's eyes turned cold.

"!!!"

Damn! This person can read minds?

“I can’t read minds,” Chen Luo shook his head.

"..."

The Night King silently moved a little further away from Chen Luo.

The Night King wanted to leave the bar right now, but he was also afraid that if he didn't make things clear today, someone would climb into his bed tonight and stab him in the heart!

"Don't worry, the only beds I'd willingly climb into are those of beautiful girls or dolls," Chen Luo said.

"..."

People who can read minds are so annoying...and so cool!

Whenever he thought about how Chen Luo's mind-reading ability had reached a level that he couldn't defend against even with his best efforts, the Night King's smile would twist slightly.

It turns out there's a reason why people in Gensokyo don't like to hang out with Komeiji Satori from the Earth Spirit Hall.

"Alright, stop overthinking and let's get back to the point. There are no exceptions to canceling a wish. I don't know the specific logic, but the only thing I'm sure of is that once the form of the reward is determined, no matter what situation the person who made the request is in, the reward will come into my hands."

"So you can rest assured to hand Yu over to me. I will take care of making sure Yu can leave the bar normally. Ah, of course, regarding Yu, even if you don't issue a request, I've had some ideas about it recently."

In fact, because of the task of awakening the Night King's will to live, You's discount has already reached 5.9%. It was originally 7.0%, but after taking a nap, it became 6.9%, and after adding 20 favorability, it became 5.9%.

Chen Luo didn't care how much of the discount actually represented genuine goodwill; as long as the discount was low enough, Chen Luo could experimentally help You keep those magical powers.

Chen Luo would consult You's opinion beforehand regarding this matter, but he always felt that You wouldn't refuse.

"Yo, you really don't need to worry about me too much. I'm doing great in the bar. Because you can't hurt each other in a bar, I can eat oranges with white veins, experience intense emotions, and even talk. I can meet many friends from different worlds here... So you really don't need to worry about me. Don't worry about the requests or anything," Yu said earnestly.

"No, this is no longer a simple request, this..."

This is a life-or-death crisis!

The commission you're thinking of and the commission I'm thinking of are not the same commission at all!

The Night King wanted to continue speaking, but he immediately shut his mouth when he saw the red light flashing in Chen Luo's eyes as he held the little red orca.

"Alright, Xiaoyou, you don't need to persuade him anymore. The Night King has made up his mind, so I must do my best to fulfill his wish."

"No, there's no need for that..."

The Night King felt he should still put up a fight.

"What...what are you talking about? There's something odd about the conversation," Yu tilted her head.

Even someone as simple-minded as You could tell that the Night King and Chen Luo were on a different wavelength than she was.

"Nothing much. Would you like some more pudding? You can just ask Judah for it. If you're in a hurry, you can also go to the kitchen."

"Hmm." After nodding, he saw Judah's Oath busy in the kitchen and ran over to him.

Pudding, pudding, pudding...

“Alright, Night King, you don’t need to be so nervous. Although there hasn’t been a single case of a commission being withdrawn since the bar appeared, commissions don’t have to be done immediately. We can put them on hold for a while…” Chen Luo walked to Night King’s side and said to him.

"Set aside?"

“That’s right, shelving it. Sometimes, when certain tasks are difficult, or when it’s not time to finish them, or when I’m not short on time, I usually choose to leave some wishes unfulfilled until the time is right,” Chen Luo said.

For example, wishes like making Hideyoshi a man recognized by the world or wishing Touma Kamijou good luck are difficult tasks to accomplish.

Tasks like helping Bronya find Seele and helping Otto revive Kallen were ones that required patience and waiting for a period of time at the time.

And the third type...

"Sigh, you've already expressed a desire to die, but now you don't want to die anymore. This puts me in a difficult position," Chen Luo sighed.

“I choose to postpone it! I’ll postpone it for as long as possible!” the Night King said immediately.

"Although our meeting didn't seem very friendly, I'm not unwilling to make an exception for you, out of respect for You..."

"Well, Yu can stay in the attic on the third floor of the bar for now, and I don't usually stay there anyway. But if she leaves, she'll have nowhere to live, and that's what I'm worried about..."

"Don't worry, you don't need to say anything more, I will prepare a suitable residence for You!" the Night King assured loudly.

"Keep your voice down!" Chen Luo tapped the other person on the head with the red orca in his hand, then glanced back at the kitchen.

They breathed a sigh of relief after not finding the small white head.

“I’m telling you, You can’t hear about this…”

[I heard her. Do you think she's deaf? She's just mute.]

"...Never mind, anyway, once I can help Yu leave the bar normally, speak, and control her powers, you'd better help with the logistics. Otherwise, when I'm short of Primal Stones, the first person I'll turn to is you."

Chen Luo is the kind of person who will see things through to the end. Since You is generously serving as Chen Luo's major client, Chen Luo also needs to care about his client's mental and physical health.

It's always good to increase your affinity level. That way, when you need to use your friend list to recruit others, you can more easily find someone to help you.

Hmm? Isn't building up goodwill just about getting on someone's good side? Or is it just for socializing?

And it's white-haired!

That said, aren't there a lot of white hairs around me...?

"Young man, take care of yourself!" Chen Luo patted the Night King on the shoulder again.

At this moment, the Night King felt that Chen Luo was looking at him as if he were looking at a little golden pig that had accumulated a lot of New Year's money, and that he might break it when he was short of money and take out the pocket money to buy some snacks.

The good news is that the little piggy bank can be used to pass parents' checks and to keep the lie about "whether the child has spent their allowance recklessly".

perhaps……

Chen Luo suddenly turned his head to look at the back kitchen of the bar, and then saw a small white head that quickly shrank back.

[She heard it, but not completely. Don't panic. She only heard the Night King's loud assurance and the scene of you threatening him, so she made some connections in her mind. —Necromancer's favorability increased.]

Yu has always had a very rich imagination...

Having come this far, Chen Luo didn't even consider explaining things to You. Let the misunderstanding continue; it wasn't a bad misunderstanding anyway.

Whenever Chen Luo thought of the Night King's wish, he couldn't help but look at the Night King.

Chen Luo wasn't lying to the Night King; he genuinely treated the Night King like a piggy bank for saving spare change.

The Night King can't be said to have done all sorts of bad things, but when the Soulfire falls on him, the opponent will still let out a few howls.

So, if he really had to kill the Night King, Chen Luo wouldn't feel too much psychological burden.

After all, he himself issued the commission.

However, You's survival is indeed a major problem.

Chen Luo couldn't keep You in the bar forever, and it was even more impossible for her to live in the attic indefinitely.

Moreover, with You watching from the side, Chen Luo really felt embarrassed to stab the Night King to death.

Besides, it would be such a waste to go through all that trouble to reform the Night King, then beat him to a pulp to correct his personality, only to kill him right away.

"Oh, by the way, if you can, Night King, remember to do some good deeds lately," Chen Luo said to the Night King while wiping the sword in his hand, which was said to be the one that "whoever gives it to whom gets stabbed" (Merlin's back would ache if he saw this).

"no problem!"

"I can see how many good deeds you do in a day, and I can also see whether you are trying your best to do good deeds. It's best not to give me an opportunity..." The cold light of the sword in Chen Luo's hand, the sword that had been used to stab anyone, flashed in the eyes of the Night King.

1000 raw gems...

The Night King saw Chen Luo's greedy eyes reflected in the dagger, and couldn't help but shudder, then hugged his arms tightly.

The Night King always had a feeling that Chen Luo wanted to devour him.

It's like... the look in the eyes of a Peking duck that's already rolled up in a pancake and dipped in sauce when it passes by someone who loves to eat.

The Night King suspected he might not get a good night's sleep tonight...

Will this person really keep their promise and not suddenly appear in their bed and stab them to death?

The Night King was somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, I, Luo, always keep my word."

"Isn't your surname Chen?"

"My mother's surname is Luo, is that not allowed? Is there a problem with me calling myself 'Luo Mouren'?"

Tch, you didn't fool me!

"No." The Night King quickly shook his head.

"Anyway, come to the bar occasionally, order more food, otherwise I'll...you'll miss you," Chen Luo said sincerely.

Chen Luo felt uneasy, unable to find a way to work with such a large mass of moving raw stone.

Just watching the Night King linger in front of him was like a huge temptation.

The only thing that could ease Chen Luo's wounded heart was hearing about the ten or twenty Primogems that the Night King contributed to the bar every day.

On the bright side, if you collect 20 stones a day, you'll have enough for 1000 stones in 50 days.

"...I will."

The Night King suspected Chen Luo of threatening him, but he had no evidence.

By the way, could you put down the knife you're holding?

The gleam reflected from the knife sent chills down one's spine.

"Oh, don't worry about it. This knife is amazing; it's specifically for killing scumbags. I once used this dagger to stab someone to death more than 30 times..."

"??!"

Is this so outrageous?

Even the King of Night was astonished.

Moreover, the Night King always felt that Chen Luo was specifically targeting him.

After all, the Night King is a zombie and can be resurrected, so he meets the condition of being able to be stabbed to death dozens of times.

"I already told you, don't misunderstand. The person I stabbed to death wasn't a zombie, but a nightmare. He didn't have the ability to resurrect either. I resurrected him more than 30 times before stabbing him to death more than 30 times." Chen Luo waved his hand, trying to ease the Night King's misunderstanding of him.

"!!!"

Wouldn't that be even more outrageous?

Even killing someone is just a matter of beheading them!

You resurrected the opponent more than 30 times and then stabbed them to death more than 30 times. What deep-seated hatred do you have for each other?

"No, I have a good relationship with him, we can be called friends. It's just that because he was involved in fulfilling a few wishes, I had to ask him to make a small sacrifice."
