The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 172: Inspection in the Bubulu

"Morax..."

Hearing Ruo Jin's words, Ruota Dragon King whispered the name of his good brother and gradually fell into silence. At this moment, Ruota Dragon King felt like there was a stone blocking his heart. It was difficult for him to imagine what it felt like for Morax to have not forgotten him even after being worn out to death, because he had already forgotten Morax when he was worn out.

Comparing with this, King Rhodra suddenly felt guilty. He had imagined countless times what he would say to Morax after he regained his freedom, but in the end he found that no matter what he said, he owed Morax an apology.

"The sky is in motion, the mountains and seas are transformed..."

Hearing these eight words from the Dragon King Ruota, Ruo Jin remembered the words that Emperor Yanwang said to him in his dream, which made Ruo Jin say it subconsciously.

"Stars are born in the wasteland, shining like the blazing sun."

Ruojin's words passed through the seal and reached the ears of King Ruota. When King Ruota heard the second half of Ruojin's words, he seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly laughed very loudly.

Yes, although Morax has passed away, his belief in protecting Liyue has never disappeared. When he fought with Morax, Morax always said the first half and he was responsible for the second half. Now, it is time for him to say the first half of this sentence, which also means that he has to take on the responsibility of Morax.

Forget it, forget it, let the past be the past, no matter if he forgot about Morax or Morax sealed him, since Morax is gone, then as Morax's good brother, he, King Rota, will become the next guardian of Liyue, just to make up for his apology that he could not say. At this moment, King Rota was completely relieved about the death of his good brother Morax.

"Boss Ruota, are you okay? Why are you laughing so loudly all of a sudden?"

Ruo Jin, who was stunned by the sudden laughter of the Dragon King Ruota, asked the Dragon King Ruota cautiously. He was worried that the old man had mental problems due to excessive grief, and this disease was difficult to treat in Liyue.

"Hmph, if anything happens to you, nothing will happen to me. Go play and don't bother me. I'm going to figure out the seal. If I figure it out, when I encounter any dangerous enemies in the future, I should be able to pass more power to you through the seal."

"Really?"

"Humph, of course. I am the Dragon King of Ryota. What can be difficult for me? Once I have thoroughly studied this seal, I may be able to develop a move similar to the one called Demon King Armor."

King Rota snorted proudly and stopped bothering Ruojin, concentrating on studying the seal that trapped him. When Ruojin heard the news, his eyes lit up and he didn't bother King Rota anymore. If King Rota could really succeed, then if Liyue was attacked by demons like Osair again in the future, he would be able to protect Liyue without falling into a deep sleep.

"Since Ruojinni has woken up, do you want to go to Yujingtai to watch the ceremony of sending off the immortals? It's not time for the ceremony yet, maybe you can still chat with Hu Tao for a few words."

After looking at the sun outside and judging the time, Ying thought that it should not be the time for the sending-off ceremony that Hu Tao had told her to begin. In that case, wouldn't it be interesting to take Ruo Jin and the Ruota Dragon King in his body to watch the funeral that Zhongli held for herself.

Unknowingly, Ying had begun to develop in the direction of despicable Ying, but it was not obvious now, so neither Ruo Jin, who was familiar with Ying, nor a certain Abyss Prince who was secretly observing Ying, noticed Ying's abnormality.

Should we go and see the ceremony of sending off the immortals? Ruo Jin stretched his body and felt that it was not impossible. He was not feeling unwell anyway, so it was only right for him to go and see off the Emperor.

Ruojin and Ying were just about to leave the room when Qiqi came in with a bowl of medicine. Seeing Qiqi suddenly come in, Ruojin bent down and touched Qiqi's little head, and said gently, "Is it Qiqi who sent me the medicine these days? Thank you so much, Qiqi."

"You're welcome. It's all Qiqi. It's what we should do. Brother Ruojin, are you guys going out?"

Qiqi put the medicine on the table. Ever since Ruojin introduced Yaoyao to Qiqi, Qiqi had been calling Ruojin "brother Ruojin" just like Yaoyao. Ruojin naturally had no objection to a cute girl like Qiqi calling Ruojin "brother", but Ruotu Dragon King seemed to be a little... hmm... weird?
"Yeah, Qiqi, what's the matter?"

Hearing Ruojin's answer, Qiqi seemed to have thought of something, but Qiqi, who had a poor memory, couldn't remember it for a while. So she simply picked up the notebook she carried with her and began to look through it. After reading for a while, Qiqi finally found what Bai Zhu had asked her to do in her notebook.

"Brother Ruojin, you can't leave. Doctor Baishu said you need to be examined after you wake up."

"Wait here for me. I'll go find Doctor Baishu."

After saying that, Qiqi ran out of the ward with her short legs, leaving only three people looking at each other in the ward. It looked like the three of them might have to stay in the ward for a while.

Since he had nothing to do during this period, Ying simply told Ruojin what had happened in Liyue Harbor in the past few days. This also gave Ruojin some understanding of the changes that had taken place in Liyue during the days when he was unconscious.

To sum it up in one sentence, the relationship between Liyue and Zhidong has reached a freezing point. All activities of the Fatui within Liyue must be reported to Liyue. If Liyue discovers that the Fatui appear in Liyue without reporting, no matter if they are Fatui executives or ordinary Fatui soldiers, they will be killed without mercy.

At the same time, Ningguang also increased the prices of all goods exported to Winter Solstice. It is said that after Liyue has dealt with all matters, big and small, in the next few days, it will negotiate with Mondstadt merchants and Xumi merchants to jointly increase the prices of goods exported to Winter Solstice.

"Oh, there is one more important thing. Rujin, you didn't deposit Mora into the Northland Bank, did you?"

"Northland Bank? No, I don't have the habit of depositing Mora in the bank."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Ying heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't want to see her good friend lose Mora, and it might be a large amount of Mora. Noticing Ruojin's puzzled look, Ying lowered her voice and whispered to Ruojin.

"I heard a rumor that Ningguang is planning to take action against the Northland Bank and is planning to set up a Liyue Bank. Rujin, don't disbelieve me. Rumor has it that the three secretaries behind Ningguang accidentally let it slip. Recently, many people from Liyue have gone to the Northland Bank to withdraw Mora, and they are determined to take Mora away."

"Did you let it slip by accident? I'm afraid you didn't let it slip on purpose, did you?"

Having grown up in an aristocratic family, after hearing Ying's explanation, Ruojin keenly realized that Ningguang might want to expel the Northland Bank from Liyue, so he released the news just after Liyue Harbor was attacked by the Fatui.
