The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 11 The White-haired Boy Who Attracts Attention

"Ruo Jin, get up, get up, if you don't get up, I will eat up your breakfast."

"Paimon, it's only daybreak today, why are you up so early?"

Paimon's silly voice was yelling beside Ruojin's bed. Ruojin, who was woken up, stretched out his hand to rub Paimon's little fat face, and climbed up from the bed with difficulty. Paimon also echoed in agreement at this time.

"That's right, I also think it's too early to get up. If Ying hadn't said that the commission must be completed as soon as possible and hadn't dragged me up, I wouldn't have wanted to get up."

"I see. I thought you were suddenly diligent, Paimon."

After teasing Paimon, Ruojin had already smelled the fragrance of the food. He followed the scent to the living room, where Ying was already sitting at the dining table waiting for Ruojin.

"Ruojin, you're up now. Let's eat together. I made some Mondstadt dishes. I don't know if they suit your taste."

After signing the contract with Wendy last night, they discussed the plan and soon parted ways. Poor Ying didn't have enough Mora in her pocket to stay in the hotel, so the shy Ying bit the bullet and asked Ruo Jin to borrow some Mora for the hotel.

After learning about Ying's experience, Ruo Jin brought Ying directly to a property of the Ke family in Mond City. After talking for a few words with the manager of the Ke family property in Mond City, Ruo Jin and Ying settled down smoothly.

As the leader of Liyue's real estate business, the Ke family not only owns numerous properties in Liyue Harbor, but also has scattered properties in the other six countries.

Although the main purpose of the Ke family's acquisition of these properties was to help collect intelligence, not much intelligence was collected over the years. Instead, a lot of Mora was spent on maintaining these properties. Now that he can live here, he can make use of the value of these properties.

Originally, Ying wanted to give Ruojin some rent, but after Ruojin's generous words that all the houses were his friends' and there was no need to be polite, the cash-strapped Ying took back the few Mora in her pocket. Ying, who had lost her memory, did not want to ruin her friendship with Ruojin because of a little money.

"Mond cuisine? I've eaten it in Liyue before, so I shouldn't be unaccustomed to it."

Ruojin sat down at the table. On the table were classic Mond dishes such as sweet flower stuffed chicken and Mond potato pancakes, which exuded tempting aromas. Paimon swallowed his saliva again and again as he looked at the delicacies on the table.

"Ying, if you ban me, I will be rude to you. I have slept all night and I am almost starving to death."

In front of the delicious food, Paimeng changed his sleepy look and tore off a drumstick of sweet flower stuffed chicken and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing Paimeng eating it with relish, Ruojin also tried to pick up a piece of sweet flower stuffed chicken and stuffed it into his mouth.

"How is it? Doesn't it taste good?"

The moment the chicken entered his mouth, a greasy feeling filled his entire mouth. Looking at Ying's expectant eyes, Ruojin, who was not used to eating too greasy food in the morning, forced himself to swallow the chicken in his mouth while resisting the greasy feeling.

"It tastes very good. Compared to the Mond cuisine I've eaten before, your cooking is already excellent."

"That's right, Paimon thinks so too. Ying, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

Paimon was praising Ying's cooking skills while eating the sweet flower stuffed chicken in big mouthfuls. Seeing Paimon's mouth full of oil, one couldn't help but admire Paimon's appetite. Eating such greasy food early in the morning is something that most people probably can't do.

"As long as it suits your taste, then hurry up and eat. After dinner, Paimon, come with me to the wild to look for Tevarin's tears. This commission is very important."

After finishing the greasy breakfast, Ruo Jin gave Ying a key to the house and went out immediately. In addition to avoiding Ying's unexpected plan to cook some food for him at noon, Ruo Jin also wanted to take a good look around Mondstadt. "What a free city-state! Even the knights patrolling the city are so free and undisciplined. Ha, but that's right. How can that drunkard govern a country? Morax is the one who governs the country."

"I don't mean to praise Morax. Morax's philosophy of governing a country is much better than that drunkard's. Morax is better at governing a country than any other god."

In his mind, the Dragon King Ruota, who had woken up at some point, kept commenting on what Ruo Jin had seen and heard in Mondstadt, and his words revealed his affirmation of Emperor Rock King.

"You seem to have great approval of Emperor Yanwang."

After teasing the Ruota Dragon King, Ruo Jin thought that the Ruota Dragon King would refute him like before, saying that the Rock King was not as good as him. But this time, the Ruota Dragon King didn't know if it was because of the scene, and he was silent for a while. Then he spoke softly.

"Recognize? Maybe. People who have not witnessed the brutal war between demons and gods will not understand the relationship between us."

"But you, kid Jin, you've been a bit slack lately, and your strength hasn't really improved."

Ruo Jin, who was found to be lazy, coughed twice in embarrassment. He found that Mondstadt seemed to be too free. According to his understanding, the main force of the Knights of Favonius had been taken to the expedition by the former leader of the Knights of Favonius, and there were not many combatants left.

In this situation, not only did the remaining Knights of Favonius not stick to their posts, but he just saw with his own eyes that a Knight of Favonius actually went to Angel's Gift to buy a bottle of wine and started drinking it during patrol. If this happened in Liyue, if a Thousand Winds soldier drank alcohol while on duty, he would be punished.

“Perhaps this is the charm of the legendary city of freedom?”

Ruo Jin bought two apples from a nearby fruit stand. The crunchy apples were perfect for relieving the greasiness of the sweet stuffed chicken.

By the way, he had heard from some multinational businessmen that there would be a Catherine in the Adventurer's Guild of every country, and these Catherines looked exactly the same. Today he had some time, so he might as well go to the Adventurer's Guild to see if the rumor was true.

With a target in mind, Ruojin quickly finished eating two apples and went straight to the Adventurer's Guild. As an organization spread across seven countries, Ruojin finally found it after two turns. It must be said that in a city like this, the trick taught by Boss Ruota of using the power of the earth veins to perceive the surrounding environment was quite useful and very convenient for finding people.

"Bennett, this commission to investigate unknown ruins is quite dangerous, so it requires at least two people to accept it. If you can't find a teammate, please forgive me for not giving this commission to you."

In front of the counter of the Adventurer's Association, Catherine was patiently explaining the danger of this commission to a white-haired boy, but the white-haired boy still kept begging Catherine to give him the commission.

"Katherine, it's Daddy Gaither's birthday in a few days, and I really need this money to help him build a new wheelchair."

"You see, I have the eyes of God. I can definitely do it on my own."

"Bennett, I understand you, but this unknown ruin is really dangerous. If there are not two or more people, I will never give you the commission. This is for your safety and it is also the rule."

Catherine seriously rejected Bennett's plea. In her procedure, rules are rules. No matter what the reason, she would not violate the rules set for her by the person who created her.

"Do you need at least two people? I'm also interested in that white-haired boy over there. Do you want to form a team with me?"
