The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 322: Zhongli's Inquiry into the Little Auspicious Grass King

"Wow, I didn't expect that there would be so many foreigners on the island after not coming here for a few days. It's really strange."

After receiving the news that Beidou had arrived at the island, Hu Tao and his companions packed their luggage and rushed to the island. As soon as they stepped into the commercial street of the island, they immediately felt the changes of the island.

Because Hu Tao didn't go around much when she went to Tong's house for dinner last time, now she suddenly saw that the outlying island had changed and it could even be described as lively. Hu Tao's interest in shopping was immediately aroused.

"Ying, Mona, let's go shopping. Speaking of which, I just wanted to buy some Inazuma specialties for Xiangling and the others. This will really come in handy for me."

After stuffing all the luggage to Ruojin, Hu Tao pulled Ying and Mona into the commercial street. Hu Tao had originally planned to find a specialty store on the outlying island to buy some things to bring back, but she didn't expect the outlying island to become so lively, which made Hu Tao decide to choose carefully.

"Okay, Zhongli, there are only two of us left now. Do you want to buy anything? If not, let's go find Big Sister Beidou."

Looking at Hu Tao's jumping back, Ruo Jin smiled bitterly and planned to ask Zhongli if he wanted to buy anything. If not, they would go to Death Star together to wait for Hu Tao.

"Zhongli? Zhongli?"

There was no reply from Zhongli for a long time. Ruo Jin turned his head and saw that Zhongli had started chatting with a little girl dressed as Xumi. They seemed to be chatting quite well. The girl was looking at Zhongli with admiration.

So, when can stones bloom?

Ruo Jin looked at the shy and reserved little girl not far away, staring at Zhongli with shining eyes. Ruo Jin felt that his whole body was numb. No, by the King of Rocks, was he dreaming? Ruo Jin blinked and asked the sealed Ruota Dragon King with some uncertainty.

"Boss Ruota, can you help me check, the person chatting with Miss Xumi is Zhongli, right?"

"Huh? Who else could that be but Zhongli? Don't call me if you have nothing to do. I'm just conserving my energy!"

Following Ruojin's line of sight, after seeing that the person chatting with the little girl was Zhongli, Ruota Dragon King also took a few more glances at him. However, because Ruojin had deliberately teased him last night, Ruota Dragon King's tone was not very good.

At this time, Ruo Jin had no time to coax the old man, Ruota Dragon King. After confirming that the man was Zhongli, Ruo Jin became excited in an instant. Tsk, he had never heard of any rumors about Zhongli's other half in his life. Now seeing this scene, it was hard not to be excited.

After calming his rapidly beating heart, Ruo Jin quietly began to approach Zhongli. On the way, Ruo Jin unexpectedly discovered that the girl dressed in Sumeru costume was holding a notebook in her hand, and seemed to be recording something.

"These are some of the stories I know about Emperor Yan. I wonder if they can help you."

Quietly coming behind Zhongli, Zhongli's steady voice reached Ruojin's ears. Hearing Zhongli's words, Ruojin's excited heart instantly sank. Oh my god, it turned out that he was telling a story to the little girl. He thought there was some big news, but his expectations were in vain.

"Thank you so much for your story, sir. With your story, there is a high chance that my paper will be passed."

Just when Ruojin felt bored and was about to go find Hu Tao, Zhongli spoke again. "According to the contract, young lady, it's my turn to ask you a few questions now."

Zhongli's words made Ruojin pause. Zhongli would ask questions to others? This was really rare. Zhongli's image of being knowledgeable was very deep in Ruojin's mind. So when Zhongli said he also wanted to ask a few questions, Ruojin decided to listen to what questions Zhongli asked.

"Sir, please ask me. I am a top student in the School of Religion. I will tell you everything I know."

Maybe because Zhongli had helped her a lot, the girl dressed in Sumeru style patted her chest and assured Zhongli. Seeing the girl's generous look, Zhongli didn't hesitate and asked directly in a deep voice.

"Miss, I want to ask about the news of your little auspicious grass king in Xumi. I wonder how much you know."

Hearing Zhongli's question, the Xumi girl who had been so proud just now was stuck. She blinked and scratched her hair habitually. Perhaps she didn't expect Zhongli to ask this question, so she asked uncertainly.

"Sir, do you want to know the news about Little Auspicious Grass King?"

"Yes."

Zhongli nodded. Seeing Zhongli nod, the pride on the face of the Xumi girl completely disappeared. She looked at the calm Zhongli in front of her and felt extremely distressed. Logically speaking, if it were someone from other countries, they would surely be able to say a lot in one breath, but for Xumi, she really had no idea about the little auspicious grass king.

It seemed that she had never seen the little auspicious grass king since she was born, and even the descriptions of the little auspicious grass king in the teaching house were very rare.

"Sir, I really don't know the answer to this question. If possible, you might as well change the question."

After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't think of any news about the little auspicious grass king. The Xumi girl could only smile bitterly and ask Zhongli to change the question, because she really didn't know the answer to this question.

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to tell you about Little Auspicious Grass King, it's just that I really don't know about Little Auspicious Grass King."

In order to prevent Zhongli from misunderstanding, the Xumi girl made a special explanation. Seeing that she was a Xumi person but didn't know the current Grass God, Little Auspicious Grass King, so well, Zhongli began to wonder about the country of Xumi in his heart. According to some rumors, the current situation of Xumi's Grass God, Little Auspicious Grass King, didn't seem to be very good.

Over the past five hundred years, Zhongli has heard very little news about the new Grass God. This young god does not seem to have much say in Xumi. All power in Xumi seems to be controlled by the so-called Teaching Court. Perhaps in the eyes of the people of Xumi, the little Auspicious Grass King is just like her name, and should just be a mascot.

Well, if necessary, he still has to go to Xumi to take a look. Hearing the words of this Xumi girl, Zhongli silently calculated in his heart. Now Liyue has embarked on the long river of human rule. If it is not necessary, he does not want to expose his identity.

Therefore, it is very necessary to create good and peaceful external conditions for Liyue. Xumi borders Liyue. If possible, Zhongli plans to take the time to go to Xumi and have a good talk with the new colleague, promote the peaceful development between the two countries, and contribute to the harmonious relations between the neighboring countries.
