Chapter 163: The Ryota Dragon King Regained His 'Freedom'
"Of course. Liyue is the hard work of Morax and I. Wait, Jin boy, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

The Dragon King Ruota answered Ruojin's question subconsciously, but he immediately found something wrong. Based on his understanding of Ruojin, it was impossible for Ruojin to suddenly ask such a meaningless question under such circumstances. Could it be that Jin had a way to break the seal?
That's impossible. King Ruota clearly remembered that he had asked Ruojin whether there was a way to break the seal in the magic that Morax had instilled in him. At that time, Ruojin said that there was no way to break the seal. As for suspecting that Ruojin was lying, King Ruota felt that it was definitely impossible. He knew how much Ruojin wanted him to be free.

If there really was a way to get him out of the seal, King Ruotu suspected that Ruojin might be more excited than him. After all, Ruojin had complained about him being in the way many times before.

"Boss Ruo Tuo, I have something to tell you. Among the immortal methods that the Emperor passed on to me, there is actually one that can unlock the seal for you."

"What!? Jin boy, are you sure you're not kidding me? Didn't you say no when I asked you?"

King Ruota could not believe his ears. He thought he would have to stay in Ruojin's body for the rest of his life. Now Ruojin suddenly told him that the seal could be released. King Ruota had no other emotion except shock.

"Boss Ruota, don't get excited. Although I can unlock your seal, I can only unlock part of it. Your true body cannot come out of the seal, so when you asked me, I said no."

"Huh? No, what's the point if I can't get out? Are you making fun of me because you're under too much pressure?"

At first, King Ruota was quite excited when he heard that the seal could be unlocked. However, the second half of Ruojin's sentence made King Ruota feel as if he had fallen from the desert into the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, and his excitement was immediately dashed.

"No, Boss Ruota, I am not making fun of you, because after the seal is removed, you can use my body to regain your freedom in disguise."

"There is such a magic? Wait, isn't this the same trick that the demons use to take over mortal bodies? What would you do if I took over your body?"

"According to the description of that immortal technique, if nothing unexpected happens, my consciousness should fall into a deep sleep."

Ruojin said this very calmly, as if he had drunk a glass of water, without any ripples in his heart. Hearing this, the flame of yearning for freedom in the heart of the Ruota Dragon King was instantly extinguished. Although he yearned for freedom, if he was asked to exchange his younger brothers for freedom, he would rather stay in the seal for the rest of his life.

"Boss Ruota, I..."

"Okay, stop talking. I won't agree to this. Just focus on dealing with the enemy. This kind of freedom is not the freedom I want. As my little brother, don't say this kind of thing again."

King Ruota interrupted Ruojin's words, his tone was extremely serious. However, after hearing what King Ruota said, Ruojin did not say anything, but just smiled slightly, as if he had made some kind of decision.

The battle was still going on, as if there were endless monsters that kept attacking the Qianyan Army's defense line. The long battle made Ruo Jin feel exhausted, not to mention the Qianyan Army who were ordinary people. This also caused the Qianyan Army's defense circle to shrink continuously.

"Damn it! Anyone who wants to kill the enemy can come to me to get weapons. I'm going all out today and will just give away all my weapons made of 100% tempered steel!"

When Lao Zhang, the blacksmith in Liyue Harbor, saw the Thousand Flames Army's fearless attitude, his eyes turned red and he took out all the weapons that he was going to sell at a high price.

Various weapons were laid out in front of everyone. In just a few breaths, all the weapons were snatched away. Some young men even shouted to snatch the knife from Old Zhang. "Old Zhang, you are so old, let me go. You can just focus on fighting with weapons in the back."

"Bullshit, I'm not the kind of person who will just sit there and wait. From now on, Liyue Harbor will belong to you young people. No matter what you say today, I'm going to go up and fight the monsters."

Seeing that the Qianyan Army began to show signs of decline, the ordinary people who were protected in the rear began to pick up their weapons and prepared to go forward to support the Qianyan Army. Looking at ordinary people who didn't even hold their swords correctly rushing onto the battlefield, Ruo Jin took a deep breath. He knew that it was time.

Realizing that the immortal power in Ruojin's body was flowing in a way he had never seen before, the Ruota Dragon King, who was always paying attention to Ruojin's movements, immediately discovered the abnormality and roared inside the seal.

"Jin boy, what do you want to do! Once my consciousness descends upon you, it will be a problem whether you can wake up from your slumber. Stop it now!"

The Dragon King Ruota was extremely anxiously trying to persuade Ruojin to stop inside the seal, but Ruojin ignored the Dragon King Ruota, whose tone was already somewhat pleading. He glanced at the war-torn Liyue Harbor, where cries, sounds of fighting, and roars of monsters could be heard incessantly.

Liyue Harbor should not be like this. For some reason, Ruo Jin suddenly thought of this. Perhaps this was the reason why he risked his consciousness to use this trick. Protecting Liyue Harbor was the responsibility of every Liyue person, just like Yan Fei's protection of the law and Hu Tao's protection of the cycle of life and death. As a Liyue person, he could not and would not watch Liyue being destroyed like this.

"Boss Ruotu, if I can regain consciousness, I will apologize to you again. The safety of Liyue Harbor is in your hands. Please."

After saying that, two of the eight rock ridges in Ruojin's body that sealed the Ruota Dragon King suddenly broke, and a majestic aura like a mountain emanated from Ruojin's body. A pair of dragon horns condensed from rock elements appeared on Ruojin's head, and Ruojin's eyes also changed from deep black to dazzling gold.

Seeing cracks in the seal, King Ruotu wanted to repair the two ridges, but after a moment of dizziness, when he opened his eyes again, he could already see the outside world.

"Banned boy, banned boy?"

He called out to Ruo Jin a few times in his heart, but there was no response. Ruota Dragon King was immediately panicked. He lost his best brother a few days ago, and now his second best brother might leave him. This made Ruota Dragon King extremely anxious.

"No, as long as we can get rid of Osel quickly, there may be a chance to awaken the forbidden boy's consciousness. Yes, we must be quick."

Holding on to a glimmer of hope, the Dragon King Rota let out a long roar towards the sky. The long dragon roar spread throughout the entire Liyue land, conveying the order to the Rock Dragon Lizards to support Liyue Harbor. The moment they heard the roar, no matter what the Rock Dragon Lizards in Liyue were doing, they all stopped and ran towards Liyue Harbor, because they felt that their king was calling them.

Sensing that his minions were heading towards Liyue Harbor, King Roto turned his gaze to Osel who was stirring up trouble in the sea. It was this bastard who had put his minions into a deep sleep. Today, he, King Roto, would let Osel know that the Dragon King's anger would be more difficult to quell than angering Morax.

"Haha, that information is indeed correct. This rock element and this aura make him worthy of being the disciple of the Dragon King. He really didn't disappoint me."
