Chen Luo had no idea what the girl in front of him was thinking.
Chen Luo only knew that when he was giving the other person a massage to promote blood circulation and remove blood clotting, he was in a state of concentration.
This state was taught to Chen Luo by an old man he met in the hospital when he was teaching him massage techniques. And the old man also said that Chen Luo had good qualifications and asked if he wanted to learn massage from him, but was ruthlessly rejected by Chen Luo.
Though he couldn't read her mind, her overly expressive face made it obvious her internal monologue was wildly active. This can be seen from the expression on the other person's face that changed three times in a second.
Normally, interrupting her wouldn't be wise—especially with swords still pointed at him—but…
"Beautiful woman, can you let go of these swords? This pose is really tiring." Chen Luo's body began to tremble. It takes a lot of physical strength to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis for others, and coupled with the forward leaning posture just now.
Now Chen Luo is really worried that he can't hold on. If his foot slips, he will go to heaven.
"You interrupted my train of thought." The Herrscher of Sentience was interrupted by Chen Luo, and instantly raised his head, staring at Chen Luo with a very oppressive look.
"!!!" Chen Luo's scalp was numb instantly.
The girl in front of him was really dangerous! Chen Luo once again deeply felt this matter. Why is this crappy commission worth 600 Primogems, but the difficulty is sporadic? This is unscientific!
"So as compensation, your home was requisitioned by me. Thank this immortal for not beating you, after all, the body of an immortal cannot be touched casually." The Herrscher of Sentience nodded, as if she was very satisfied with her magnanimity.
"Huh?" Chen Luo tilted his head—nearly nicking his neck on a blade.
"Don't you understand what I mean? Simply put, I will live in your house from today. Because I suddenly found that I seem to be homeless." The Herrscher of Sentience said.
The reason why the Herrscher of Sentience made this decision is that she keenly realized that this is no longer her world. If you want to ask why, it is because this world does not have Honkai energy at all.
The remaining Honkai energy in my body is used up bit by bit. Fortunately, my authority as the Herrscher of Sentience can be used without Honkai energy.
After being caught by that gray vortex, my body seemed to have undergone some changes. At least, I originally had no body.
In addition, the Honkai energy vacancy in my body seemed to be slowly filled by another special energy.
The most reliable thing right now is to stick with a local of this world. And now there is no one more reliable than the young man in front of me, and I still have to repay the life-saving grace. I must avenge those who have wronged me, and those who hinder me are all scum! However, I have to repay the favor I received.
"Wait, why do you want to live in my house?" Chen Luo was confused for a moment.
"Huh? You don't want to?" There was a hint of loss in the eyes of the Herrscher of Sentience.
"Hey, don't be sad, I want it." Chen Luo shook his head instantly.
Are you kidding, this is 600 Primogems!
"???" Now it was her turn to be confused.
The Herrscher of Sentience originally wanted to conquer Chen Luo with her superb acting skills, but Chen Luo did not play according to the script at all. The authority of the Herrscher of Sentience showed that Chen Luo really welcomed her to live in his house, and he had no other thoughts, he was just happy because of her moving in. Is this person sick?
Should I 'adjust' his brain?
No, it can't be adjusted. What if he doesn't let me live in his house after the adjustment? The Herrscher of Sentience shook her head.
"Why are you letting me stay?" The Herrscher of Sentience questioned what Chen Luo had just said.
"Well, my house is huge, I'm lonely, my parents ditched me… and I just felt a connection when I saw you. Like fate!" Chen Luo nodded earnestly. Don't think about running away with your 600 Primogems, it's useless even if Jesus comes!
"Your parents… left you too?" Her eyes lit up.
"Hold up—why do you sound happy about that? There is something wrong with what you are asking?"
As the swords finally vanished, Chen Luo slumped against the nightstand in relief.
"I'm not happy. I'm sad." She sighed dramatically.
"You are obviously very happy." Chen Luo didn't believe her lies.
"The Herrscher of Sentience has altered your consciousness. Now you believe I'm sad." The Herrscher of Sentience was silent for a while, staring into Chen Luo's eyes.
"...You really are sad." After a moment of silence, Chen Luo nodded solemnly, forced to acknowledge this "fact."
Though he didn't feel his consciousness being altered, her title—Herrscher of Sentience—suggested her abilities were mind-related.
Maybe my talent's shielding me?
But he should play along.
"So your parents abandoned you too?" The Herrscher of Sentience asked again.
"No, you misunderstood. They're archaeologists. After I started high school and kept 'helping others' nonstop, they assumed I'd developed 'proper life values' and went back to their work. In addition to the various strange items that are mailed back every week, now they only come home once a month."
"They say it's to check on me, but I think they just get tired of traveling and want a break." Chen Luo talked more and more under the Herrscher of Sentience's questioning, and finally he could stop.
After all, Chen Luo had never told anyone about these things, and it was good to have someone to talk to.
An otherworldly listener was the perfect confidant.
"Stop, stop, I get it. So they didn't abandon you." The Herrscher of Sentience finally cut him off, realizing their relationship was very good.
At this moment, the Herrscher of Sentience was really a little depressed.
This is the difference between people, huh?
"Well, even if they didn't technically abandon me, it feels like it sometimes." Although he didn't know why the other person was a little depressed, Chen Luo immediately changed his plan and changed the conversation when he remembered the character's introduction.
Sorry, Mom and Dad.
"In fact, if you put it that way, we are really destined to be together. So from today on, I will live in your house, even if it is just to accompany you, a lonely boy... uh, lonely boy." Feeling that Chen Luo wanted to make her happy, the Herrscher of Sentience also put away her disappointment.
Why be disappointed?
She has friends, and I have friends too.
Although we have just met for less than 10 minutes... but it seems quite reliable.
Probably...
"Then I have to thank you." Chen Luo replied somewhat weakly.
Since when am I a "lonely young boy"? Are you a kid, making excuses to get what you want?
Herrscher of Sentience? More like Herrscher of Childishness.
[Ding! Mission Complete!]
"..."
...Yes. I am a lonely young boy.
[Ding! Please define family relationship immediately to claim full reward.]
Huh? We have to specify?
Makes sense. Can't be "family" without roles.
"Father and daughter," After Chen Luo pondered for a moment, he tentatively answered in his heart.
Although this relationship sounds a bit far-fetched and unlikely to succeed, why not give it a try? It doesn't cost anything.
