The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 239: Return of Beidou

"Sister Beidou, long time no see. I guess you made a lot of money on this trip. I just saw the sailors on your Death Star emptying the inventory of the tavern owner outside a tavern."

In the Hall of All People, after handing Klee over to Kaia who came to take Klee home, Ruo Jin came to the Hall of All People to have breakfast. While eating breakfast, Ruo Jin suddenly saw Beidou walking in from outside.

This surprised Ruojin, who hadn't seen Beidou for a long time. He immediately greeted Beidou. Hearing the surprise and teasing in Ruojin's tone, Beidou, who was already an old friend of Ruojin, was not annoyed. She walked to Ruojin and put her arms around Ruojin's neck, and said with a smile despite Ruojin's struggle.

"Ajin, you know you can earn more by following me. Why don't you follow me? If I remember correctly, you are an adult this year. Following me, I can't say you can become as rich as Ningguang, but you will definitely earn more than you do now. And it's so boring to stay in Liyue Harbor all the time. Follow me and I will take you to Fontainebleau."

Feeling the burning breath and faint smell of the sea from Beidou, Ruojin gave a helpless smile. Beidou had invited Ruojin to board her ship when she established the fleet, but Ruojin was obsessed with finding immortals at the time and was not interested in Beidou's invitation. In addition, Ruojin preferred the feeling of having her feet on the ground, so she rejected Beidou at that time.

What Ruo Jin never expected was that Beidou would be so perseverant. Every time he saw him in Liyue Harbor, he would intentionally or unintentionally invite him to join the fleet. However, Ruo Jin had no idea how to deal with someone like Beidou who was so outgoing and generous.

"Captain Beidou, I think it would be best if you release Ruojin right away."

Ningguang's voice came from behind Beidou. Beidou turned her head to look at the smiling Ningguang behind her. It had been a long time since she last saw Ningguang and she missed her very much. However, after hearing Ningguang asking her to let Ruojin go, she knew that her best friend was very clever and Beidou was worried that Ruojin would be fooled by Ningguang.

"Hey, hey, hey, Ningguang, you're not going to recruit Ah Jin to be your subordinate, are you? I mean, you already have Ye Lan under your command, so why don't you give Ah Jin to me and I'll help you make a trip to the sea for free, how about that?"

"Haha, if Ruo Jin really wants to work in the General Affairs Department, then I don't think it will be my turn. Besides, Ruo Jin doesn't lack Mora right now."

Ningguang smiled and walked to Beidou. If Ruojin really wanted to pursue a career in politics, he would not have refused Keqing's request for him to be listed in the General Affairs Department, nor would he have refused Uncle Tian's proposal for him to become the next Tianshu Star.

"That's true. Considering the feelings that Ah Jin has for Keqing, you, a Tianquan Star, are really no match for Keqing, a sister."

Beidou glanced at Ruojin, as if he had thought of something, nodded thoughtfully, and then teased Ningguang.

Hearing Beidou's words, Ningguang's fist hardened. She sent people to watch the port every day so that they could find Beidou as soon as he came back. But after your ship docked, not only did you not go to find her, your best friend first, but you also made sarcastic remarks here. Well, you are really my good friend, Beidou.

She didn't know how many times she cursed Beidou in her heart, but on the surface Ningguang remained calm. Seeing that Beidou hadn't let go of Ruojin's neck yet, Ningguang said lightly.

"Captain Beidou, I think you should pay attention to your image. If you are seen by Master Hu, I think Captain Beidou will not want to deal with Master Hu, right?"

"Huh? Walnut?"

For a moment, he didn't understand what Ningguang meant. The usually generous Beidou seemed a little dazed. Seeing Beidou's dazed look, Ningguang's fox-like charming eyes narrowed up complacently.

Let you talk nonsense here, humph, I saw your silly look, right~ Beidou, Beidou, you should be glad that I didn’t bring a camera today, otherwise, I would have taken a picture of your silly look and hung it in the room.

"Yes, Captain Beidou, you should have heard about the relationship between Master Hu and Ruo Jin a long time ago, right?"

Considering that Beidou might not be able to figure out the reason, Ningguang kindly reminded Beidou. With Ningguang's reminder, Beidou suddenly remembered the rumors about Ruojin and Hutao that were circulating in Liyue Harbor. Beidou looked at Ruojin, and after finding that Ruojin did not explain, she let go of Ruojin's neck and patted Ruojin's shoulder in disbelief, and said in surprise.

"You and Kurumi are together? Sure, I told you two are a perfect match."

"Haha, that's right. By the way, Sister Beidou, how many days will you rest during this port call? Will you go to Inazuma next time you go out to sea?"

Smiling proudly, Ruojin remembered that Ying suddenly asked him yesterday to find out about going to Inazuma, because he had promised Ying that he would accompany her to Inazuma, now that he met Beidou Ruojin naturally would not miss this good opportunity.

"Inazuma, I really plan to go there. Since Inazuma closed its borders, the prices of Inazuma's specialties have skyrocketed. Many people have asked me to order Inazuma's specialties."

"Well, Sister Beidou, a friend of mine and I want to go to Inazuma soon. Can you give us a ride?"

When Beidou heard Ruojin say that he wanted to go to Inazuma, a trace of worry appeared on his face. Now Inazuma is a very complicated place with all kinds of people. As Ruojin's friend, Beidou does not want Ruojin to stir up trouble in Inazuma at this time if possible.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with our relationship, but you better think about it, Inazuma's current situation is not as good as you think."

After thinking for a while, Beidou agreed out of trust in Ruojin. Of course, Beidou did not forget to remind Ruojin of Inazuma's current situation.

"Don't worry, Sister Beidou, I'm ready. You guys eat first, I'll leave first."

Thinking of what he had asked his sister to do last night, Ruo Jin smiled confidently. No matter how chaotic the situation in Andy Inazuma was, he didn't believe that with that identity, Inazuma's people would dare to embarrass him secretly.

Looking at Ruojin's departing figure, Beidou glanced at Ningguang. Based on Beidou's understanding of Ningguang, shouldn't Ningguang be the one to persuade her to agree to Ruojin's request and gain Ruojin's favor? Why is this woman so quiet today?

Ningguang blinked at Beidou while facing his gaze. Beidou pursed her lips. She always felt that something happened in Liyue Harbor during the few months when she was at sea, otherwise Ningguang would not have become so strange.

"Master Ningguang of Tianquan Star, should we find a place to have a good chat?"

Because they had just docked this morning, Beidou, who was only thinking about having a good meal at Wanmin Hall, had not even asked about what had happened in Liyue Harbor recently. So now Beidou was very curious about what had happened in Liyue Harbor during the time she was away.

"Let's chat, sure. But before that, I think Captain Beidou should go check on your Death Star first. On the way to the Hall of All Peoples, I saw Keqing issuing a ticket to your Death Star. It seems like it was parked illegally?"

"You didn't tell me earlier!"

Hearing that his beloved Death Star was being targeted by Keqing, Beidou glared at Ningguang and immediately rushed out. Looking at Beidou's hurriedly leaving back, Ningguang smiled slightly. Now she had time to take a shower and change clothes.
