The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 25: Strange Generation Increases Again
"Can rock dragon lizards help find things? When those rock dragon lizards wandering in the wild see the enemy, they will roll into a ball and rush over. Boss Ruotu, are you sure I won't be knocked away?"

Many of the patients that Bubulu receives every year are injured by rock dragon lizards in the wild. The Qianyan Army still has no good solution for the rock dragon lizards. The main reason is that these creatures will run away if they cannot defeat them, and they run so fast that ordinary people cannot catch up with them at all.

"Just listen to me, kid. The Rock Dragon Lizards used to be my little brothers. When I was fighting in the Demon God War, the Rock Dragon Lizards were responsible for cleaning up the trash."

"Even though I haven't contacted the rock dragon lizards for such a long time, I believe they will not forget me, their boss."

The words of the Dragon King Ruota were full of pride. The bravery and fighting skills of the Rock Dragon Lizards had been demonstrated during the Demon War. However, after he was sealed by Morax, the Rock Dragon Lizards were leaderless and undisciplined, so they roamed in the wild and hurt people.

But now it’s different. If he could communicate with the rock dragon lizards, these rock dragon lizards might become a very good force. He should have thought of it earlier.

Ruo Jin thought about it and agreed with the suggestion of the Dragon King Ruota. If these rock dragon lizards could really obey his orders, then Liyue could use the rock dragon lizards and the Thousand Rock Army to form an almost invincible army on land. In this way, when the Thousand Rock Army encountered monsters during patrols, the casualties would be greatly reduced, and his sister Keqing would have more time to rest.

"Paimon, you and Ying help me wash the vegetables and cut them up."

"Guoba, come over here and light the fire. Control the fire so that the food in the pot won't burn."

Xiangling entered the cooking state and arranged everyone to help her in an orderly manner. Ying and Paimeng also became busy. Seeing Ruojin sitting on the haystack watching them busy, Paimeng, who had just finished washing radishes by the river, pinched his waist and said unconvincedly.

"Ruojin, hurry up and come down to help. How could Xiangling forget about you?"

"I?"

Ruo Jin pointed at himself. In his memory, except for the time when he and Hu Tao were cooking outside using local ingredients, he seemed to have never been asked to do things like washing vegetables.

There were servants from the Ke family to do the work at home, and when Xiangling went out to find ingredients, Xiangling took all the work on herself and would not let Ruojin do it no matter what. Sometimes when Ruojin wanted to do some work, Xiangling would at most ask him to collect some wood.

As for accompanying Yaoyao on herb-collecting trips, Ruojin was simply spoiled by Yaoyao to the point of almost becoming a social outcast. I don't know who the little guy learned this from, but he is too good at spoiling people, even though he is obviously the adult.

"Brother Jin, just watch. Paimeng, come over and help."

As Ruojin expected, Xiangling didn't let Ruojin do these things at all. It might be because Ruojin had always protected Xiangling when they were young. As long as Xiangling was by Ruojin's side, Ruojin really didn't have to do anything. Hu Tao had publicly expressed her envy of Ruojin's treatment in front of Xiangling more than once.

Paimeng obviously didn't know about this. When she heard Xiangling say that she didn't need Ruojin's help with the work, a big question mark appeared in Paimeng's little head. She felt even more dissatisfied. Why should she, such a lazy person, have to do the work while Ruojin didn't?

"I am Xiangling's sworn brother. As the eldest brother, it's natural for me to enjoy myself a little."

Seeing Paimeng's dissatisfaction, Ruojin spread her hands and looked proud of herself for being lazy. This made Paimeng very angry. Eating for free was obviously her dream, but now it was realized by Ruojin. It was so infuriating.

"Ahhh, I'm so mad, Xiangling, can I be your big brother?"

"Paimon, stop imagining this. If you really want to become sworn brothers, maybe you can become sworn brothers with Guoba. Guoba will probably be very happy."

Ruojin picked up Guoba, and Guoba waved enthusiastically at Paimeng.

"Lululu~"

Guoba smiled naively and seemed very happy. Paimeng immediately shook her head in disgust. She didn't want to become sworn brothers with Guoba who looked not so smart. Seeing that this approach with Xiangling was not feasible, Paimeng turned her attention to Ying.

"If you don't do it, my elder brother doesn't let you do it when he cooks. Go away and play."

Ying rolled her eyes at Paimon and continued to work. She didn't want to make a fuss with Paimon now. She also wanted to learn a few tricks from Xiangling so that she could cook some delicious dishes in the future. She had no time to pay attention to Paimon. Paimon was so angry at Ying's perfunctory attitude that he stomped his feet in the air.

Considering that Ying is his long-term meal ticket in the future and he cannot quarrel with Ying, Paimeng turned his head and looked at Ruojin. Ruojin's leisurely look made Paimeng very unhappy. "I've decided, I'm going to give you, Ruojin, an ugly nickname."

"Well, I'll call you a freeloader."

"I don't care, but I have a lot of delicious pastries here. Since Paimon said that to me, I have no choice but to share them with others."

As he spoke, Ruo Jin took out a high-end-looking box. Inside the box were the high-end snacks that Ruo Jin had bought in Liyue. He had originally intended to use them as dry food on the way to Mondstadt, but he didn't expect that he had arrived in Mondstadt before he could eat the snacks. Now the snacks were of no use, so he just took them out and shared them.

"Hey, Ruojin, I was just joking with you. How could you be a freeloader? You are such a good person."

Ruo Jin was stunned by the speed at which Paimon changed his face. Ruo Jin felt that Paimon should not have been fished out of the sea in Mondstadt by Ying but should have been fished out in Liyue. He was able to use the traditional art of face changing in Liyue so skillfully, and it would be a shame for him not to appear in Liyue.

Seeing that Paimon was staring at the box in his hand and swallowing his saliva, Ruo Jin didn't tease Paimon anymore. He handed the box to Paimon and asked him to divide it. He also specifically reminded Paimon to remember to let Mr. Duraf and Mr. Olaf have a taste as well.

"No problem, leave it to me. I, Paimon, am the fairest in distributing things."

"One piece for Guoba, one piece for Ying, one piece for Xiangling..."

"Hey, hey, Ying, why did you take my snack?"

In the end, under Ying's distribution, Paimon reluctantly took the two snacks that belonged to her, while Diona kept the box and brought the snacks into the house.

But after coming out of the house, Diona's face didn't look very good. Brock saw that Diona looked bad and thought that she was not used to Olaf, the old ancestor. As Duraf's old neighbor, Brock cut a large piece of roast pork, put it on a plate and asked Diona to take it to the house.

"No, that's not necessary, Sister Brock. Dad probably doesn't want anyone to disturb him right now."

"The drunk old man and the ancestor named Olaf are sworn brothers. When I went in to deliver some snacks just now, the old man was saying, 'I am older, so I am too arrogant to call you brother. From now on, I will call you ancestor and you call me brother. We can each talk about our own affairs.'"

After hearing Diona's words, everyone present was quite shocked. Ying held her forehead and kept complaining in her heart that Teyvat was really quite exciting and the beginning of the journey opened her eyes.

Ruo Jin's mouth twitched even more. Mr. Duraf's drinking habit was too outrageous. If they really became sworn brothers, what should Diona call Olaf? She couldn't call him "uncle ancestor".

The Ruota Dragon King in Ruojin's body was also lost in thought at this time. He suddenly thought of something very important. According to the backup, Ruojin was his younger brother, and his generation should be younger than him and Morax, and he should be of the same generation as immortals such as Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun. Doesn't that mean that little Ganyu should call Jin uncle?

"The situation at Dad's place is quite complicated at the moment, so there's no need to send them anything. The two of them can just drink..."

Although she said that there was no need to send anything to Duraf and Olaf, Diona still took the large piece of roast pork from Brock's hand. He would definitely be hungry after sobering up after drinking so much, and she wanted to wait until her father sobered up before giving it to her father.

"Then it seems that we have to eat this meal together. Don't be unhappy, Diona. It is a happy event to meet your ancestors. Let Mr. Duraf and Mr. Olaf drink some wine and have fun."

Knowing that Diona hated alcohol, Ruo Jin also persuaded Diona softly. After hearing what Ruo Jin said, Diona's face looked better. At the same time, she had made up her mind that when she returned to Mondstadt, she must take all the alcohol in the house away, so that her father would have nothing to drink.

"My dad is so nice when he's not drinking, why does he become a different person when he drinks? Really, I finally come back once, but he doesn't even bother to spend time with me."

"Also, big guy, are you really going back to Mond City? The people of the Lawrence family are not good people."

"Don't worry, little Dionna. If they really dare to mess with me, I will never let them go."

Ruo Jin ruffled Diona's pink hair, a cold light appeared in his eyes. He laughed and joked in front of his friends, but he never showed mercy to his enemies.
