The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 21 Qingquan Town

On the way to Qingquan Town, Ruo Jin was amazed by Diona's superb archery skills. At such a young age, she could kill a hillbilly with an arrow attached with ice element from 800 meters away. She was simply a natural marksman. Ruo Jin couldn't help but admire her.

"Little Dionna is amazing."

When Diona heard Ruojin's praise, there was no expression on her face, but the tail behind her was already swinging involuntarily.

"We, the Kateline clan, are natural hunters. Dad is even better at archery. He can lead the hunting team to catch a lot of prey every time."

"And dad is very brave. When facing monsters, he always lets the other members of the hunting team go first, and he stays behind to cover the others."

"Don't worry, big guy. Dad will definitely protect you. I promise."

When talking about her father, Diona's eyes were shining with admiration. This look of pride in her father seemed particularly adorable to Ruo Jin. As if to increase her persuasiveness, Diona even patted her chest like her father.

Diona's little adult look made Ruojin laugh. Ruojin had always been the one protecting others, but now Diona was suddenly pulling him to a safe place and telling him to protect him. It felt quite fresh.

He just wanted to talk to Diona's father, so he followed Diona to Qingquan Town without explaining too much. He was not worried that Lawrence's people would find Qingquan Town. If Lawrence's people really made trouble in Qingquan Town because of him, then he could settle accounts with Lawrence's people openly.
Diona's kindness made Ruo Jin not allow the Lawrence family to destroy the tranquility of Qingquan Town. If necessary, he didn't mind letting the news of the "Faint" massacre of the Lawrence family a few days in advance.

Moreover, the way Diona stood up for him and protected him was very similar to the way he stood up for Xiangling before. Ruo Jin secretly made up his mind that if he had the chance in the future, he would introduce her to Sister Ganyu. If Diona could learn a few tricks from Sister Ganyu, it might not be possible for her to walk around Mondstadt, but it would definitely be enough to protect herself.

"Big guy, this is Qingquan Town, the place where the legendary spring water spirits once appeared. Let me tell you a secret. There are people in our Qingquan Town who have really seen spring water spirits."

"Look at that pond. It is said that the spring spirit once appeared here."

Taking Ruojin into Qingquan Town, Diona pointed to a small pond and introduced to Ruojin one of the characteristics of their Qingquan Town. Ruojin took a look at the pond. The water in the pond was extremely clear and looked much cleaner than the water outside.

"Jin boy, what this little guy said is indeed correct. I felt a very weak energy in this pool. This energy should come from the so-called spring water spirit."

"However, why have I never heard of a fountain elf before? Before I was sealed, this kind of elf had never appeared in Liyue for thousands of years."

King Rudra carefully felt the special energy in the pool. This energy was very different from the water element he could control. If the water element he could control was compared to a turbulent waterfall, then this energy was like a gentle stream. It seemed to have no lethality but could drown the enemy in the water in a trance.

Do spring water spirits really exist? Ruo Jin paused beside the pool. He thought Diona was telling him another story. He didn't expect that something that sounded so mysterious actually existed. It seemed that the Feng Shui of Qingquan Town was pretty good.

According to Liyue's status, the fountain elf can be regarded as an immortal. However, why has he never heard of any rumors about the fountain elf in Mondstadt?

Sniff, sniff, sniff~
Diona, who was walking in front, sniffed, and a strong fragrance came into Diona's small nose with the wind. Diona, who had not eaten much all day because she was busy bringing Ruojin to Qingquan Town, swallowed subconsciously.

This direction seemed to be floating towards her home. This stinky old man, she couldn't come back a few days ago because of the dragon disaster and was worried about her father all day long. As a result, this stinky old man actually cooked delicious food at home. Ah, she shouldn't worry that her father would starve to death. Food that smells so good must taste delicious. "Big guy, let's go. I'll take you to a delicious place. The stinky old man actually made delicious food without telling me. Wait a minute and you and I will eat all the food that the old man made. Humph, I'm so mad."

With a puffy face, Diona pulled Ruojin towards her home, and kept saying bad things about her father as she walked. Ruojin, who already knew Diona a little, could see that Diona was not angry. This was just her way of getting along with people. What a proud and kind-hearted little girl.

"Dad, what delicious food are you making? Hey, Sister Brock, is Dad bothering you to cook for him again? That's so abominable. I'm going to teach him a lesson right now."

Seeing a slightly plump woman busying herself in front of the pot in front of her house, Diona immediately understood that her father must have asked Aunt Brock to help him cook because he didn't want to cook. This stinky old father is so lazy.

"Little Diona, why are you back? There is a serious dragon disaster outside. What if you are in danger? The same goes for Duraf. He has not found anyone to bring you a message in such a long time."

"Diona, you've lost weight in these few days in Mondstadt. I'm sure no one made your favorite fish. Wait, I'll make you your favorite grilled fish. You can take a rest on the side first."

When Brock saw Diona coming back, he didn't bother to continue cutting vegetables. He wiped his hands on his apron and picked up Diona. I don't know if he could really feel Diona's weight, but from Brock's tone when he said Diona had lost weight, I couldn't help but think of what Walnut's grandfather had said about him before. The old man was really a nice person.

"Little Diona, this is the husband you found in Mondstadt? That's amazing. Your sister Brock is still single."

"Oh, no, no, no, that's not it, Sister Brock. The big guy is my friend, a friend. And Sister Brock, if you lose some weight, you will definitely find the right person. You are such a good cook and you are so gentle."

Diona, whose face turned red with Brock's words, hurriedly explained that Duraf often led the hunting team out hunting, and Diona often ate at Brock's house when she was young. No one knew Brock better than her. This plump sister was a very good person and had a deep obsession with the pursuit of cooking.

"Okay, okay. I haven't seen little Dionna for a few days. She's become much sweeter. As an excellent chef, eating the food you make is the most basic respect for the food. When I don't want to be a chef anymore, I will naturally lose weight."

"Don't just stand there, young man. If there is anything you like, you can tell me. You are the first friend that Diona brought back. I will treat you to a meal."

Brock warmly invited Ruojin to have dinner with him later and asked him what kind of food he liked. When asked this question suddenly, Ruojin's brain froze and he really didn't know what to answer for a moment.

"Sister Brock, please don't make things difficult for the big guy. He has never been to Mond before. He definitely doesn't know what delicious food is."

Diona jumped down from Brock and saw Ruojin's embarrassment, so she took the initiative to help Ruojin explain. When Brock heard that Ruojin had never been to Mond before, he became even more enthusiastic.

"It seems that you have never been to Mondstadt before, young man. It doesn't matter. You will be surprised by the sweet flower-stuffed chicken I made."

"Great, sweet flower stuffed chicken is Sister Brock's specialty. Sister Brock, let's go find Dad first. I'll come out to help in a while."
