Chapter 171 Monthly Festival

The Dragon King Ruota was originally an elemental creature under the Liyue Earth. Born from the ground, he was born without eyes, but his consciousness was eager to break through the ground and see the world above ground...

Unfortunately, such a wish is beyond hope for it as it has no eyes. It shouts and makes its own voice underground, and it does this for who knows how many years.

Finally, an ancient and powerful demon traveled here, listened to its voice, and brought it out of the ground.

This demon was the Rock Demon of the time, Morax.

Morax endowed this elemental creature with a pair of eyes that could see the world clearly, making up for the latter's shortcomings.

At this moment, the Dragon King Rota was born! Morax made three rules with him, asking him to live in harmony with the people on earth and not to kill people. If he violated the rules, he would be sealed back underground.

The Dragon King Rota readily agreed, and from then on followed Morax to fight all over the world. He made indelible contributions to the camp of the Rock Demon in the Demon War. He was the founder of the prosperous country of Liyue, and his status was even higher than that of all the immortals.

However, as an elemental creature, although the lifespan of King Ruota is almost infinite, its memory cannot be preserved for long. As time goes by, it gradually shows "wear and tear". Wear and tear is the law set by "heavenly principles" and nothing can violate it. Even the King of Rock, who has become one of the seven rulers of the mortal world, cannot suppress the wear and tear of King Ruota.

Finally, thousands of years ago, on the one hand, the people of Liyue over-exploited the Layered Abyss, damaging the earth veins and indirectly affecting the Dragon King Ryota. On the other hand, the latter had been worn out to the extreme and had almost forgotten everything about his time with humans, so he went mad and attacked the Layered Abyss.

The Rock God tried to stop them, and the two powerful men fought fiercely all the way from the Great Rock Abyss to the place where the Fulong Tree is now. The Rock God sealed the Ruota Dragon King here.

Now, King Ruotu Dragon has been awakened by the vibration of the earth veins, and is about to break the seal through various means.

The will of the Dragon King Ruota attached to Kunjun is its only remaining good thought. In order to prevent its madness from causing more serious damage to the land of Liyue, this will controls Kunjun's body to go to Liyue Port to find Morax, hoping that he will suppress it again.

Although there were some twists and turns, such as amnesia, fortunately, Zhongli was brought to the Fulong tree by accident and the Ruota Dragon King was re-sealed.

……

After telling the worn-out Ruota Dragon King about this past, Kunjun, Zhongli and the others watched the little girl's body slowly dissipate.

Looking at the underground space that had become desolate and lonely again, Zhongli sighed lightly and turned around and left first.

Kunjun followed closely behind him, while the others hung behind him and whispered to each other.

"Zhongli sighed so frequently today. It felt like he sighed more today than in all the time since we met him." Paimon scratched his head and said in surprise.

"After all, no matter what form Ruo Tuo Dragon King becomes, he is still Zhongli's good friend." Lu Shiyuan explained softly, "Just like the relationship between you and Ying, if you break up, both of you will be very painful.

What’s more, the two of them are enemies.”

Upon hearing this, Paimeng immediately understood why Zhongli sighed. She suddenly felt a little sorry for Zhongli and his friend Ruota Dragon King.

Thinking about the life-and-death battle between the two sides just now, Paimeng quickly hugged Ying's arm and said, "Ying, let's not separate in the future, okay?"

Ying nodded in agreement.

After entering the teleportation point in the underground space, everyone was directly teleported out to the outside world.

Afterwards, they met Lao Dai who came to look for someone. After Lu Shiyuan asked him to take people to pick up the miners in the tunnel, Zhongli and Kunjun started chatting in this limited time.

As they chatted, they walked towards an area with a wide view, admiring the beautiful scenery. When they got excited, smiles even appeared on their faces.

Lu Shiyuan and the others consciously stood where they were, watching from a distance, and did not try to disturb Zhongli and his friend's final farewell. Not long after, a faint white light rose from Kunjun's body, and he gave Zhongli a final smile, "If we are destined, we will meet again someday."

Before he finished speaking, Kunjun's body collapsed to the ground. It was obvious that the will of the Rādhaka Dragon King had left him.

Lu Shiyuan felt a little uncomfortable watching his close friend parting.

"I hope I won't have to deal with wear and tear in my lifetime," he thought to himself.

Everyone was silent and stood quietly by, waiting for Old Dai to come back before they took Kunjun and rushed to Liyue Harbor.

……

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed. Lu Shiyuan is in the teahouse, drinking tea, eating melon seeds, and listening to Tian Tiezui telling the story of "Chuanglong Dianjing". He is so leisurely.

Just as he was cracking melon seeds and drinking tea, four figures suddenly rushed in from outside the teahouse and headed straight for him.

"Haha, you are here after all, Shi Yuan. Your itinerary is so easy to guess." Paimon put her hands on her hips, her tone very proud. Beside her were Ying, Xiangling, and the little bear Guoba.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Lu Shiyuan asked as he stuffed a handful of melon seeds into Paimeng's hand.

"We are here to accompany Xiangling." Paimon pointed at the energetic girl beside him and happily started to eat some melon seeds.

"Brother Lu, I just want to ask you some questions about cooking..." Xiangling felt a little embarrassed. After all, Brother Lu's chef Brock was also going to participate in the competition. If she did this, it would be like stealing his skills.

However, Lu Shiyuan was not as worried as Xiangling. He said cheerfully as if he was talking to the little girl next door, "If you have any questions, just ask. As long as I know it, I can teach you."

"Thank you, Brother Lu." Xiangling suddenly became happy, her eyes curved into crescents, and she explained, "It's almost the Moon-Chasing Festival, and the Chef King Contest is about to begin. I want to improve my cooking skills before then.

So, I wanted to ask about the diners' tastes and food suggestions. Brother Lu, you are an expert in this area, so I found you as soon as possible."

"In other words, you want to ask me about my opinion on food, right?" Lu Shiyuan asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Xiangling nodded.

Lu Shiyuan touched his chin and thought seriously. After a long silence, he said, "As the saying goes, it is difficult to satisfy everyone. My opinion is always biased."

Xiangling blinked and asked curiously, "Then why don't I just ask more diners?"

"Hehe..." Lu Shiyuan shook his head without comment. Seeing Xiangling's increasingly puzzled look, he smiled and said, "Xiangling, you have to understand that people may not know what they really like to eat, and it is impossible for a chef to satisfy every diner's special taste.

Let me give you an example. Take Paimon, for example. When she was in Mondstadt, she liked to eat Mondstadt cuisine. After she arrived in Liyue, she praised Liyue cuisine very much.

More than two months ago, before she arrived in Liyue, if you asked her what her favorite food was, she would definitely say "fried pork with honey-glazed carrots", but if you ask her now, her answer will definitely be Liyue delicacies such as "Xian Jumping Over the Wall" and "Boiled Blackback Seabass".

Sometimes, people like a certain food because they haven’t come across something better yet.”

Xiangling blinked, looked at Paimeng, and asked, "Is that so?"

Paimon scratched his head and said uncertainly, "It seems to be true."
