Their commission was suspicious.

Yvette not only released her grip on Chen Luo's neck and pulled him down, but also pushed him away with her other hand.

"Are you satisfied with today's wake-up service? But to be honest, I'm only providing a wake-up service, you've gone a bit overboard... You'll have to pay extra!" Chen Luo said quite seriously.

Okay, Chen Luo admits he regrets it. Chen Luo is really, really curious about what Yvette dreamed about that made her dare to be so disrespectful.

"It works very well, but next time wake me up, stay away from me." After Chen Luo returned to his stealth state, Yvette sat up and picked up the alarm clock next to her.

After glancing at the time, I immediately canceled the alarm that was supposed to go off in 5 minutes.

Yvette had been sleeping in late several times because of these strange dreams, but today was the first time she woke up early.

In the past, even an alarm clock couldn't wake Yvette.

Despite being fully alert, Yvette was unable to wake up from her dream and suspected she was under a curse.

As for why she suddenly hugged Chen Luo just now... Yvette didn't know either.

People inevitably do some strange things when they first wake up.

“Emmm…” Chen Luo saw Yvette’s inner thoughts.

Can't we be reasonable? You were the one who hugged me, okay? Now you're turning around and accusing me.

Chen Luo felt wronged, but since he hadn't suffered any loss, he didn't bother to say anything.

Because Chen Luo has entered a stealthy state, even though he looks like he's sitting on Yvette's bed, Yvette can still lift the covers and get off the bed.

Watching Yvette, dressed in pajamas, calmly walk to the vanity mirror, propping her chin up with her hand while lost in thought, Chen Luo fell into deep thought.

I woke you up, but you're still just sitting there in a daze. What's the point of having this wake-up service? You might as well sleep a little longer.

[I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?]

"I want to know why you didn't warn me that Yvette would hug me."

Don't worry about the details. I've focused most of my calculations on the good and bad news. You won't lose anything, so why should I remind you? Even if you end up kissing, isn't she the one who'll suffer?

"...Let's start with the good news."

The bad news is that the plot in Yvette's dream is somewhat disjointed and chaotic. While the main storyline can indeed be deduced from it, it's a bit mentally taxing. Most importantly, the initial puzzle pieces aren't complete, much like not encountering Paimon at the beginning of Genshin Impact. The first puzzle piece is currently only half complete; the remaining half requires time and clues to deduce.

In Genshin Impact, the presence or absence of Paimon is absolutely crucial in determining the game's difficulty level, and the bar is essentially Paimon's role.

The good news is, although it was just a dream, I've now pieced together the experiences from it. Don't underestimate SSS-level talent!

"...I also have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?" Chen Luo asked, looking at this inherently rebellious yet humane plug-in.

Uh, bad news.

"The good news is you can take a day off."

【…】

"The bad news is that you'll be spending this day off in the dark room."

I'm sorry, I was wrong!

"Oh."

However, considering that the user-friendly plugin didn't warn Yvette about her intention to take advantage of her, it was because she was busy with important matters, so let's just let this matter slide for now.

So... what is half of the first puzzle piece?

Chapter 1209 Yvette's sister = Chen Luo's senior sister?

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on Yvette's door, and after knocking twice symbolically, the person unlocked the door with a key and entered.

"Hey, Yvette, didn't you say you've been waking up late these past few days?" A blonde woman who looked somewhat similar to Yvette but appeared more mature walked into the room.

Compared to the coldness and pride that Yvette often wore, this blonde woman's face was filled with gentleness and kindness.

Here comes half of the first puzzle piece. Don't tell me you don't recognize her.

"Is this considered a puzzle?" Chen Luo, who had gone into stealth mode due to the intruder's arrival, floated to Yvette's side and looked at the Holy Guardian Angel walking towards them.

But you two do know each other, don't you?

“That’s true…” Chen Luo nodded.

In fact, after Chen Luo turned Yvette into a doll and looked up her information, he learned that he had met Yvette's sister before, and that they were from the same sect.

Chen Luo had learned massage skills a long time ago. He was taught by an old man when he was volunteering at the hospital. In addition, the old man also knew acupuncture.

Chen Luo had no intention of studying medicine in the future. He originally wanted to become an archaeologist, so he only studied massage and not acupuncture.

Yvette's sister, however, was different; she only learned acupuncture and not massage.

Sylvia: I have better alternatives to massages and such.

Although the old man kept saying that Chen Luo had a prominent forehead and bright eyes, and that he had excellent physique and was particularly suitable for studying traditional Chinese medicine, without charging tuition, Chen Luo did not choose to listen to him.

Sylvia seems to be similar to Chen Luo; she is only interested in acupuncture and has even tried to persuade Chen Luo to learn acupuncture together, but Chen Luo did not listen.

It seems that the reason why Sylvia, as the Holy Guardian Angel, is interested in acupuncture but indifferent to massage is probably because her abilities can completely replace the effects of massage. As for why she wants to learn acupuncture... Chen Luo has no idea.

Since they had studied together, Chen Luo's relationship with Sylvia, while not quite like his relationship with Bai Zhi where she saved his life, was still quite good.

At least her Chinese was taught by Chen Luo.

Chen Luo had reason to suspect that the reason Sylvia came to chat with him in broken Chinese after she finished learning acupuncture was to learn Chinese from him!

Hmph! What a scumbag!

However, since helping someone learn Chinese also seemed like a favor, and seeing his talent awakening progress bar slowly rising, Chen Luo patiently began teaching Sylvia Mandarin.

Although he had known about this relationship for a long time, Chen Luo never believed that this alone could change Yvette's and his own fate; there must be other reasons.

Moreover, if Chen Luo remembered correctly, when Yvette came to cause trouble for him before summer vacation, Sylvia didn't come along.

So it's only half of the puzzle.

Even the world couldn't have predicted this unexpected event, and even SSS-level talent is somewhat inadequate.

The world had clearly arranged a promotion path for Chen Luo, a path that, while fraught with difficulties, had a very high success rate. But who could have predicted that Chen Luo would abandon the main storyline and instead embark on side quests?

After Chen Luo completed most of the side quests, the main boss was already outdated compared to him, and there was no way to adjust it. After all, even the game designers have to play by the rules.

Who knows what would have happened if Chen Luo hadn't gotten Zero Bar on his first 10-pull?

Moreover, the user-friendly plugin is so confident that perhaps even the world doesn't know about it.

Yvette sat in front of her dressing table, glanced at Chen Luo, who was sitting on her belongings and barely visible, and her sister, who hadn't noticed anything, but chose not to tell her sister about her problem.

Even if I told her, it wouldn't make a difference; it would only cause her unnecessary worry.

“Little Yvette, can’t you persuade the Pope to dissolve your engagement with that river god? Although the development of the church is important, your happiness is more important.” Looking at Yvette, who was sitting in front of the dressing mirror with a pale face, Sylvia placed her hand on her sister’s shoulder with great concern.

"It's alright, I don't mind," Yvette said calmly.

In any case, whether they're engaged or not, they can't escape the puppeteer's grasp.

“How could I not care? This is an engagement, a major life event. How can we be so hasty? You haven’t even seen the River God’s true face, have you? I heard that the River God has never shown his true face since he first appeared. What if the River God is a decrepit old man in his sixties or seventies?” Sylvia became more and more worried as she spoke, increasingly concerned about her sister’s future happiness.

“Little Yi, given the church’s current growth rate, even without the river god’s help, we won’t be at a disadvantage. Of course, I’m not so naive as to think the future won’t be affected, but wouldn’t it be better to just let the heavens and the church give that river god a larger share? If I remember correctly, the church and the river god had already finalized their deal before you came out.” Sylvia was still very concerned about her sister’s important life event.

This is my only sister! How can I bear to let her marry a river god who may or may not be a senile old man?

“But we’re already engaged. If we back out, that bastard River God might demand a larger share, which would be a burden on the church and the celestial realm,” Yvette said calmly.

As she said this, Yvette glanced, intentionally or unintentionally, at Chen Luo, who was still sitting next to her.

Although Yvette didn't know why Chen Luo was still lingering there, it didn't stop her from making a sarcastic remark about him.

Chen Luo just smiled and didn't care. Anyway, all Yvette could do now was talk big.

"If...if it really doesn't work, I..." Sylvia stammered.

"No." Before Sylvia could even finish her sentence, Yvette immediately rejected her idea.

Based on Yvette's understanding of Sylvia, she knew that what Sylvia might say right now would definitely not be pleasant.

My sister is good in every way. Although she is kind, she also knows how to distinguish between good and evil. However, her spirit of sacrifice is a bit too obvious when it comes to me.

"Holy Mother" is not a derogatory term. A true Holy Mother takes the lead in everything, while a false Holy Mother has others do the work for her.

Even if Sylvia didn't say it aloud, Yvette could guess what Sylvia was planning to say.

"Then, if that really doesn't work, can't we find another angelic talent? Why does it have to be you? At worst, we can both give up all our cultivation resources and let someone willing to go as compensation?"

“Sister, it’s not like you to let others suffer.”

The best candidate for Sylvia's idea is undoubtedly the S-class talent, the Angel of Death.

Yvette thought that if the Angel of Death were to replace her, that Angel of Death would be absolutely ecstatic!

Tsk.

"It's just asking for opinions; we certainly won't force anyone to do this. What if someone likes it this way? Actually, if you didn't disagree, I wouldn't mind going myself."

No, she cares a lot.

"Shut up and keep watching the show!" by Chen Luo.

“Think about it carefully, the River God rarely comes out, which means he wants to hide his identity. As long as he wants to hide his identity, he won’t have much contact with me. As long as he provides enough cultivation resources every day, being a nominal first wife isn’t a problem. I’ll take care of the peace and quiet, and then I’ll give you the cultivation resources. You can focus on your cultivation, and when you’re ready to beat up the River God, then come and save me.” Sylvia tried to propose a win-win solution.

From a generally rational perspective, if it's just a sham marriage, and you get 100 million yuan a month to spend as you please, only giving up a title and not interfering with each other, it's actually a pretty perfect choice.

“Then why can’t I have a fake marriage with the River God, and then use his cultivation resources to cultivate, and then beat the River God up when I’ve succeeded in my cultivation?” Yvette retorted.

Yvette naturally saw through her sister's insincerity.

“That won’t do. Even if it’s a fake marriage, it’s still a marriage. Once someone is married, it’s not so easy for them to get married again. What if you meet someone you love, but because of your engagement to the River God, you can’t confess your feelings and have to suffer the pain of unrequited love all by yourself… No, no, just thinking about it is terrifying.” Thinking of this, Sylvia couldn’t help but rub Yvette’s face, her worry evident on her face.

"And what about you? Won't you face this dilemma too?"

"I'm different. Your sister doesn't have a sweetheart. I've met very few men my age, less than ten in total. You know what my criteria are for a partner: he has to be younger than me, helpful, good-tempered, and preferably look easy to bully... But I'm not strong enough, so if he's easy to bully, I can't protect him. Sigh, it's so frustrating."

"So, you should change your criteria for choosing a partner," Yvette said casually.

"Compared to before, it's already decreased quite a bit, okay?"

“Indeed, in the past you required the other person to be a healer like you, their talent level to be no lower than A-level, and they to have a hobby similar to yours of making small handicrafts…”

"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" Sylvia asked her sister curiously.

“No, it’s nothing.” Yvette paused for a moment, then shook her head.

Why do I feel like my sister's criteria for choosing a partner are so similar to that jerk puppeteer next to me?

Fortunately, his sister didn't know him.

Chen Luo is definitely an excellent choice for a good friend, but definitely not an excellent choice for a boyfriend.

Choosing Chen Luo as my boyfriend would put a lot of pressure on me! A tremendous amount!

"Alright, that's enough. The engagement is settled. You don't have someone you like, and neither do I. So, whoever goes is fine, isn't that right?" Yvette didn't really want to continue the topic.

"Really? I don't believe it!"

What don't you believe?

“I don’t believe you don’t have a crush on any guys. What do you think your sister does? I’m responsible for convincing believers. Do you think you can hide your strange behavior after you came back from me? You definitely have someone in your heart right now!” Sylvia said, shaking her head.

“Sister, having someone in your heart is not the same as having someone in your heart,” Yvette sighed.

Sometimes, what you feel in your heart is not a lover, but an enemy.

"I don't believe it. If you had a grudge, why were you laughing so happily a few days ago? I remember clearly that night, three days after you returned to the church from the abyss, your smile was incredibly joyful..."

"Bang!" Yvette suddenly stood up and slammed her hands on the dressing table.

Then, quite displeased, he looked to his left.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Demons and monsters, leave quickly!]

"Sigh, let me listen for another 5 minutes... Okay, okay, I'm leaving."

For the sake of the raw stone, Chen Luo had no choice but to reluctantly say goodbye to the gossip.

[Ding! Mission complete]

After watching Chen Luo leave, Yvette breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down in her chair.
