The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 3 Plan
"Hey, boiled fish is here~"

Xiangling came out of the kitchen with two bowls of dipping sauce in her hands and a plate on her head, swaying a little. Although she looked like she was doing acrobatics and an accident could happen at any time, she was actually very steady and the soup from the boiled fish did not spill at all.

When the boiled fish was served on the table, the aroma was so strong and suppressed that the hot white steam naturally floated up from the dish, making Hu Tao swallow secretly.

Without caring about the so-called table etiquette, Hu Tao picked up the chopsticks beside the bowl, and without caring about the burning tongue from the boiling soup, he dipped the chopsticks into the red soup in the dish, picked up the tender white fish fillet and put it into his mouth.

"mumu~"

"Xiangling, the boiled fish you made is delicious. If you weren't too busy, I would definitely order another serving of shrimp dumplings."

The joy of eating delicious food made Hu Tao's white and tender legs swing back and forth under the table like lotus roots in the autumn wind. Her creamy face was slightly red from the spicy food, and her unusual plum blossom eyes added a unique charm to Hu Tao at this time.

"Hiss, it's so spicy, Ah Jin, what are you looking at? Come on, give me a bite of your rice."

I don't know if Xiangling had replaced the Jueyun pepper with one from another place, but Hu Tao, whose face turned red from the spiciness, didn't care that Ruo Jin had already eaten some of the rice. She picked up the bowl and took a big bite. When Ruo Jin came to her senses and wanted to stop her, Hu Tao had already started chewing. It took a long time for Hu Tao to swallow the rice in her mouth.

"Why is the boiled fish Xiangling made today so spicy? Ah Jin, what did you want to say just now?"

"Ah, nothing. I just want to ask if your Wangsheng Hall is recruiting non-staff personnel. If you do, do you think I can help you?"

In order to prevent Hu Tao from spitting out the rice in her mouth, Ruo Jin decisively chose to change the subject. Hu Tao was fully focused on the boiled fish and did not notice that there was anything wrong with Ruo Jin.

"Huh? A non-staff member? Ah Jin, you want to come to my Wangsheng Hall to earn extra money?"

Hu Tao looked at Ruojin seriously and saw that Ruojin looked very calm and didn't seem to be joking. Hu Tao muttered secretly in her heart. The sister-brother relationship between Ruojin and Keqing was well-known in Liyue. If Ruojin had no money in his pocket, Keqing would definitely give Ruojin Mora.

Besides, Ruojin is not the guy like Zhongli who spends money lavishly. Logically speaking, Ruojin should not be a person who is short of money. Now he suddenly brings up such things. Did he have a quarrel with his family and plan to run away from home?

"What's wrong? Can't you?"

"Okay, of course. Given our relationship, even if you want to be the deputy head of the Wangsheng Hall, it's fine."

Although she couldn't understand why Ruo Jin suddenly asked her this, Hu Tao would definitely not refuse an employee who came to her door. What's more, the one who wanted to join Wangsheng Hall was her 'good brother' Ruo Jin. Hu Tao would welcome him 100% of the time.

"Great, Kurumi. Since I am now a non-staff member of the Hall of Rebirth, please send me to Mondstadt for investigation."

"Huh? Mond? There's been a dragon disaster in Mond recently, and I heard it's pretty serious. Wait, Ajin, you want to go to Mond??!"

Walnut, whose IQ is far beyond that of an ordinary person, immediately connected all the things together, and the conclusion she came to shocked herself. Oh my god, he wants me to cover for him, damn it, I treat you as a brother and you use me to attract fire?

"Shhhhhhh."

Ruojin covered Hu Tao's mouth with his hand and kept winking at her. The clever Hu Tao immediately realized that this should not be said so loudly.

Hu Tao nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, and Ruo Jin slowly loosened her hand, knowing what he meant. After years of getting along, the two of them had such a tacit understanding that they could tell what the other was thinking with just a gesture or a glance.

"Ajin, if you don't tell me the truth, I will not cover up for you. If something unexpected happens to you in Mondstadt, I will feel guilty to death. Keqing will definitely come after me and kill me."

After knowing Ruojin's purpose, Hu Tao was serious for once. If it was something else, she would just help cover it up, but she had to get clear about this dangerous matter. She didn't want to see Ruojin lying in the coffin the next time she saw him. Although Hu Tao knew that everyone has to die, she didn't want the person lying in the coffin to be Ruojin.

"Oh, it's nothing serious. Boss Ruota said he wanted to go to Mondstadt to ask the God of Wind if he had seen the Rock King."

"There's no danger at all, don't worry, Hu Tao. I used to wander around all kinds of dangerous places in Liyue."

Ruojin patted his chest and assured Hutao. Although this was the idea of ​​the immortal in Ruojin's body, Hutao was still a little hesitant. Compared to Ruojin's previous visits to various dangerous places in Liyue, Hutao was more worried that Ruojin would be suffocated by the wind dragon in Mondstadt.

"Well, Ajin, don't you know? The dragon in Mond is very fierce. For a small person like you, he can eat hundreds of them in one meal. Do you really want to go?" "Well, this may be the closest I have ever been to the Rock King. I don't want to give up this opportunity. Besides, Boss Ruota also needs freedom."

Well, since Ruo Jin said so, as Ruo Jin's good brother, she naturally chose to believe Ruo Jin. Hu Tao slammed the chopsticks on the table, patted her little Pingyuan and agreed to this matter.

"No problem. I'll leave it to you."

"Hu Walnut is so kind. Come and eat fish."

Ruojin picked up a large piece of fish and put it into Hutao's bowl. Hutao didn't bother to be polite with Ruojin and started to eat happily. This boiled fish was her favorite. Usually, Ruojin would deliberately snatch it from her, even though she would drink water every time after eating because of the spiciness.

"Humph, you're still fighting against hundreds of people. Even if I stand there and let that kid Tevarin hit me, he can't break my defense."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, Boss Ruota, you are amazing. You are so strong that even the Rock King is no match for you."

"That's right, kid Jin, I like what you said. Let me tell you, I used to..."

Ruo Jin rolled his eyes and ignored King Ruota who was talking nonstop in his head. He could memorize all the stories King Ruota told him. He could follow the story from beginning to end as long as King Ruota gave it a beginning.

"Hutao, eat, eat, it will get cold if you don't eat now."

"Ah Jin, you are putting Jueyun peppers in my bowl again!"

"Haha, have you been discovered? It seems like you've learned to be smart, Kurumi."

After a hearty meal at Wanmin Hall, on the way back to Keqing's house, Ruojin and Hutao discussed the details of the plan. After all, if the plan was exposed, both of them might be taught a lesson by Keqing. During the discussion, Hutao enthusiastically gave Ruojin a name for his position. With Ruojin's rolling eyes, the title of 'Customer Recycler of Mondstadt Division of Wangsheng Hall' was gloriously given to Ruojin.

"I always feel that Xiangling's naming ability is better than yours, Hutao. At least the name Guoba is pretty nice."

"Oh, don't worry about these details. This name is so vivid and lively. Maybe I can find a customer recycler in every country in the future."

Hu Tao was skipping along the road, feeling very happy. You know, the previous 76 generations of hall masters had spent their entire lives without being able to open the Wangsheng Hall to other countries.

In just a few years of Hu Tao's leadership of the Hall of Rebirth, she has already appointed an employee for the Mondstadt branch of the Hall of Rebirth. This is truly a historic moment for the Hall of Rebirth. No, she must go back and ask Zhongli to record this event so that her descendants can see it.

Listening to the Qiuqiu Ballad sung by Hu Tao, the two soon arrived at the Hall of Rebirth. In response to Hu Tao's invitation, Ruo Jin waved the Mora Meat in his hand. Hu Tao nodded as if she suddenly understood, and waved to Ruo Jin to hurry up.

"When you are not here, leave those two little guys to this hall master."

"That would be troublesome."

"Qu~ Why are you being so polite to me? Were you taught a lesson by Keqing yesterday?"

"Oh, just tell the truth."

In Liyue Commercial Street, there were two children standing on a staircase looking at the intersection. When they saw Ruojin appear at the intersection, the two children shouted "Brother Ruojin" and immediately rushed to Ruojin.

Ruojin touched the little heads of the brother and sister. These two poor children still refused to believe that their mother had left this world. They would rather starve here than go to the orphanage built by Ningguang.

"Yixian, Yizhu, this is the Mora meat I brought for you, eat it while it's hot."

"Thank you, brother Ruojin" x2
Looking at the two little guys wolfing down their food, Ruo Jin sighed. He didn't know when these two children would be able to accept the cruel reality. He remembered that when he first saw these two little guys, the brother and sister were so hungry that their intestines were tied into knots.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly. I'm going to be away for a while. Sister Walnut, who brought you candies these days, will bring you food. Don't run around when it's almost time for dinner."
