The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 138 Late Night Snack
"Jin boy, come back to your senses, your friend is calling you."

Sensing that Ruojin was standing there laughing foolishly for more than five minutes, and he didn't even hear the traveler's pet calling him, Ruotu Dragon King reminded Ruojin with hatred for him. He, Ruotu Dragon King, couldn't understand why his little brother should indulge in love so much.

In the eyes of King Rādhāra, the brotherhood between him and Morax was what was worth praising and worth learning from. King Rādhāra did not care about love at all.

"Ah, Paimon, Ying, when did you two get here?"

Ruojin came back to his senses and smiled dully. Ying and Paimeng looked at each other. They both felt that Ruojin was weird, but they couldn't tell what was wrong. After thinking for a while, Paimeng gave up thinking first.

"We just got here not long ago. If it's forbidden, why did Wanmin Hall close so early today?"

Paimeng saw Ruojin standing at the door of Wanmin Hall from afar. She originally thought that Ruojin was waiting for them outside the Wanmin Hall, but she didn't expect that Wanmin Hall was already closed. This made Paimeng, who wanted to have a midnight snack in Wanmin Hall, very disappointed.

"Wanmin Hall, maybe there is some happy event today. Let's go to the stall over there. I'll treat you guys to a midnight snack."

Ruojin came to her senses and took Paimeng to the snack stand next to Wanmin Hall. Ying looked at the closed door of Wanmin Hall and then at Ruojin whose face was always filled with joy. She touched her chin, and her intuition told her that Master Hu's hair might have to be dyed green.

"Ying, come quickly, Ruojin is treating us~"

"Come on, come on, you two slow down."

Paimon's call came from a distance, and Ying hurriedly followed. After running for an entire afternoon, she only ate some lotus cakes given by the little friend to fill her stomach. Ying's stomach had already begun to protest, otherwise she would not have agreed to have Paimon have supper at Wanmin Hall. At most, she would have eaten at a roadside stall that was cheap, large in quantity and filling.

At a snack stand selling beef offal, Ruojin, Paimeng and Ying each had a large bowl in front of them. As this was a stall that Ruojin frequented, the owner of the snack stand was very considerate. The three people's bowls were filled with beef offal, and there was also a lot of beef at the bottom of the bowl, which was paired with sesame cakes bought from the sesame cake stand nearby. Paimeng and Ying ate them with great joy.

"Hic~ I'm full. The beef offal sold in this stall is so good. If it's banned, is this also an old shop that has been passed down for hundreds of years?"

"That's not the case. The owner of this beef offal stall is a barber. He comes here to sell beef offal at night to make some money. But I heard that the owner is quite strange and has two chickens as pets."

"Okay~ Then I'll just have to buy some Mora meat tomorrow morning."

Paimeng was a little disappointed to hear that he was just a part-time seller of beef offal. Such delicious beef offal was perfect for breakfast, and she was thinking of having a bowl of it tomorrow morning.

After putting the last bite of beef offal into his mouth and wiping the soup from the corners of his mouth and hands, Ruo Jin took out the Dust-Cleansing Bell. This thing was an immortal weapon after all. If it got dirty, who knows how Grandma Ping would nag him.

"Ying, this is the Dust-Clearing Bell, keep it. Oh, by the way, why don't you see Zhongli?"

"Zhongli told us to go to the Seven Days Statue to find him after we bought the ointment, and then he left with the young master."

Ying carefully took the Dust-Clearing Bell. This thing was an immortal weapon. If she broke it, the immortals would definitely come to her house. Ying didn't want to be punished by those immortals who looked difficult to deal with because of such a thing.

"Wow, Ruojin, you really borrowed it. Ying and I were busy all afternoon today and finally bought the Eternal Life Incense. But why does this Dust Cleansing Bell look so ordinary?"

Paimeng circled around the Dust Cleansing Bell a few times, her big eyes full of curiosity. No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see what was special about the bell except that it looked good. Aren't immortal weapons supposed to be shiny? Paimeng's idea was different from Ying's. Immortal weapons must be like the immortals in Liyue, and their main feature was restraint, just like the two-dimensional foil she saw in other worlds. Who would have thought that something like a piece of paper could actually transform a galaxy from three dimensions into two dimensions?

"Well, immortal weapons naturally need immortal power to activate."

Ruo Jin transferred some immortal power into the Dust-Cleansing Bell, and the Dust-Cleansing Bell soon emitted a soft light. As a ray of white light flashed across the stall, some dirty bowls on the beef offal stall instantly became white and clean.

Seeing such a magical scene, the owner of the beef offal store directly presented a snack platter. Paimeng's eyes widened. If she could use this dust-cleansing bell, then she wouldn't have to wash dishes in the wild in the future.

"Ruojin, you really dote on Paimeng, just like that little girl named Yaoyao we met in the wild."

Sensing some greedy eyes cast at her from all around, Ying complained helplessly to Ruo Jin. She just didn't understand why no one doted on her, an 18-year-old beautiful girl, while so many people liked Paimon, an emergency food who did nothing but eat and sleep.

Could it be that the mainstream XP in Teyvat has developed to another stage? Ying thought about the few friends around Ruo Jin, they were all girls, so why were they all so nice to Paimon? Unable to figure it out, Ying picked up a piece of dried tofu and chewed it fiercely.

"Ying, tell me what you experienced this afternoon."

Hearing Ying mention Yaoyao, Xiangling's junior sister, Ruo Jin became curious about what Ying had done in the afternoon. Didn't she say she was going to buy things for the immortal ceremony? Why did it take so long and she also went out into the wild?

"Go ahead and talk about it. It's still early."

After glancing at the moon and silently calculating the time, Ying simply started eating the snack platter while preparing to chat with Ruojin. Before Ying could speak, Paimon suddenly flew in front of Ruojin and asked mysteriously.

"Ruojin, do you know about the fairy beast called coconut sheep?"

Coconut sheep? Paimeng's question stumped Ruojin. He had listened to the stories of immortals and immortal beasts told by Ruotu Dragon King for many years, but this was the first time he had heard of an immortal beast called coconut sheep.

Inside the seal, the Dragon King Ruotu was also confused. Coconut sheep? How come he had never heard of such a fairy beast in Liyue? Could it be that after he was sealed, some fairy couldn't restrain himself and created a new kind of fairy beast?
"Hehe, it seems like you don't know what a coconut sheep is, Ruojin."

"Then let me tell you about the coconut sheep, a legendary fairy beast that can produce coconut milk. Hehe, what do you think? You didn't expect that, did you?"

Paimon put her hands on her waist and tilted her chubby little face up with a proud look. Ruo Jin was initially prepared to prick up her ears to listen carefully to what Paimon was talking about the coconut sheep, but after hearing that it could also produce coconut milk, Ruo Jin immediately understood that Paimon and the others must have been fooled by Qiqi.

"So, Paimon and the others went out into the wild to look for the non-existent coconut sheep for quite some time?"

Ruo Jin's words froze the expression on Paimeng's face. It couldn't be blamed on Qiqi. If anyone had to blame someone, it was only because they didn't ask Qiqi clearly what the coconut sheep was, which led to the misunderstanding.

Just thinking about how they had seriously invited Yaoyao to help them find the legendary fairy beast Coconut Sheep in the wild, Paimeng felt terrible. It would be too embarrassing if Yaoyao, who doted on her so much, knew the truth of the matter.
