The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 23 The little cook who sneaked out was discovered

Is that how it is? A gleam of understanding flashed in Ruo Jin's eyes. Becoming the ruler of a free country and ruling Mond for such a long time, isn't this equivalent to a slap in the face of Barbatos? The Lawrence clan a thousand years ago were very brave. No wonder the people of Mond disliked them. If Ruo Jin was a Mond, he might even kick them.

But the Lawrence man named Eula is quite interesting. He lived in a corrupt environment but was not assimilated. As a Lawrence man, he joined Lawrence's mortal enemy, the Knights of Favonius. He was hated by the Mond people but protected them. Moreover, the Lawrence people were in collusion with the Fatui. Tsk, maybe he should change his strategy.

Now that the incident has just happened, in order not to attract the attention of the Knights of Favonius, Lawrence's family should be honest for a while. This time should be enough for him to implement his plan. First, he should find a chance to meet the knight named Eula. I hope that Lawrence's people will not be too devastated in the end.

Ruojin raised his lips to a wicked smile, and the Ruota Dragon King in his body became interested. Every time Ruojin smiled wickedly, someone would be unlucky. He didn't know who would be the unlucky guy this time, but it would be fine as long as it wasn't him.

Helplessly, a burst of noisy voice interrupted the conversation between Ruojin and Duraf. Ruojin frowned slightly as the ground veins spread outward with him as the center. To his surprise, he did not sense the enemy but instead sensed Xiangling's breath.

"It seems that Chef Xiangling from Wanmin Hall is back. Brother Ruojin, let's go out and take a look. We are in for a treat today."

"No, little brother, you are from Liyue, so you should be able to eat the delicious food made by Chef Xiangling often. I am so envious."

Duraf asked Ruojin to go out together to greet Xiangling. Ruojin felt it was a bit unrealistic. How could Xiangling appear here? However, from the information transmitted back by the ground veins, it seemed that it was indeed the aura of Xiangling and Guoba outside. The ground veins would not lie.

In other words, Xiangling wasn't kidding when she said she wanted to come to Mondstadt to get a piece of dragon meat for cooking? Ruojin stood up and walked out the door. The cat ears on Durafu's head moved. As a hunter for many years, why did he feel that Ruojin was suddenly angry? Was it his illusion?

"Hey, Ying, with this piece of snow pork, I will definitely let you taste the most delicious pork dish."

"Oh? The most delicious pork dish? I don't think it's as delicious as dragon meat dish."

"That's right. I don't know if there's a chance to get the meat of that wind dragon. If I can get it, I believe it will taste great. I'm excited just thinking about it. Hey, Ying, what's wrong with your eyes? Is there sand in your eyes?"

Xiangling leaned closer to Ying's face and took a look. Why did Ying's expression suddenly become strange? Her eyes were blinking. Was she injured in the battle just now?

"Xiao Xiangling, you've become very bold recently. If you have something to say, why don't you tell me?"

When the familiar voice reached her ears, the expression on Xiangling's face froze instantly. She turned her head mechanically and saw Ruo Jin standing behind her with his arms folded.

Whatever you fear will come true. Xiangling, who thought she could hide the truth, was now dumbfounded. Could it be that Brother Jin followed the caravan of the Ke family to Qingquan Town to discuss business? She couldn't be so unlucky.

"The dragon disaster was so serious, but you still sneaked to Mondstadt, right? You still want to eat a piece of meat cut from a dragon, right? You also want to use dragon meat to make dishes, right?"

"If something unexpected happens to you, what will you let Master Mao do? He will be heartbroken."

Ruojin grabbed Xiangling's face and started rubbing it. Xiangling knew she had done something wrong but did not resist. Xiangling, who had no idea how many times she had been lectured by Ruojin, was very experienced in this kind of thing. She must not talk back to Ruojin at this time. She just needed to act cute and act pitiful and Ruojin would let her go soon.

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, brother Jin, I won't dare to do it again, please let me go."

"Will there be a later time?" "No, no, no, there won't be a next time."

Seeing Xiangling looking at him pitifully, Ruojin's heart softened and he let go of her hand. Xiangling covered her face with her hands and looked at Ruojin resentfully. Every time she did something wrong, Ruojin always liked to rub her face. She felt that her face had become bigger.

"Xiao Xiangling, stop running around. When you're done in Qingquan Town, come back to Mondstadt with me. The dragon disaster in Mondstadt hasn't been resolved yet, and I'm worried about you being alone."

Although Xiangling was so cute and well-behaved when she was a child, she became a little "disobedient" when she grew up. Master Mao told Ruojin many times that Xiangling was covered in injuries when she came back. As a father, he could not persuade Xiangling and could only let Ruojin, the eldest brother, speak for her.

After being lectured by Ruojin several times, Xiangling also mastered the method to make Ruojin forgive her quickly. Ruojin had this control over her. Sometimes the words of lecture were on the tip of her tongue, but Xiangling couldn't say them because she acted cute.

"Lululu."

Guoba was holding an apple and eating it happily. This scene happened more than once or twice. Before, Guoba would come up to persuade them to stop fighting, but after too many times, Guoba simply gave up and let it go. Even when Ruo Jin was lecturing Xiangling, he would move a small stool and sit on it, eating while watching.

"And Guoba, you didn't inform me in advance when Xiangling wanted to come to Mondstadt. I'll remember you for this."

“Lululu?”

Guoba, who was eating melon on the side, widened his eyes in shock. How could this have anything to do with him? He was just a Guoba, he couldn't do anything. This was simply an unprovoked disaster.

"Haha, my old friend looks pretty cute now, but I feel like he's a little fatter than the last time we met. It seems like my old friend has been eating pretty well these days."

The Dragon King Ruota laughed loudly. Before the Dragon King Ruota was sealed, the Kitchen God Markhus had already dissipated all his divine power. When he was besieged by the immortals, Markhus was not among them. This was why the Dragon King Ruota was so kind to Guoba and even called him an old friend. Ruo Jin had not heard this name from Ruota very often.

"Ruojin, you and Xiangling know each other, so it seems that the big brother Xiangling is talking about must be you."

"I really envy you for having a sister who is a chef. Paimon also wants to have a sister who is a chef so that I can eat delicious food every day."

Paimon had an envious expression on her face. Although Ying was very talented in cooking, at present, there were only a few dishes that she could make that tasted decent. Even if Paimon loved to eat, she couldn't stand eating the same meals three times a day.

Seeing Ruojin caring so much about Xiangling, Ying was very envious. Her brother who was related to her in the continent of Teyvat was now missing, and she hadn't felt the care of her family for a long time.

"Chef Xiangling, you know Brother Ruojin, that's perfect, let Brother Ruojin and I be the referees, this way we can ensure fairness and justice."

Duraf secretly took a sip of wine in the house before coming out. Diona, who didn't notice that her father was drunk, wanted to help Brock. At this time, a middle-aged man with cat ears and a cat tail attracted Diona's attention. Seeing the iconic logo of the Kateline clan, Diona shouted into the house.

"Dad, come over here quickly. Some relatives are visiting our house."
