The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 33: Fishing Accident
"Brother Jin, just let me go. I'm sure I won't be in any danger."

"No, the dragon disaster in Mondstadt has not been resolved yet. Xiao Xiangling, you came to Mondstadt secretly, and I haven't told you yet. You are still thinking of going to a place as far away as Xingluo Lake. I don't agree."

Facing Xiangling who had packed her luggage, Ruo Jin tried to persuade her earnestly. He had just talked with Mondstadt's unreliable wind god. After confirming that Tevarin had not recovered yet, Ruo Jin did not dare to let Xiangling leave Mondstadt too far.

After being rejected by Ruojin, Xiangling lowered her head and shook her body slightly to express her loss. She learned from Sarah that there was a very delicious perch in the Starfall Lake in Mond, and that perch was known as the best perch.

Although she knew that Ruo Jin was thinking about her safety, she still felt a little regretful that she couldn't go to Xingluo Lake to find perch.

Xiangling heard from Sarah that because Mondstadt was surrounded by the Wine Lake, people would not go so far to fish. Mondstadt was not peaceful recently, so anglers who were looking for delicious bass would not risk their lives.

Moreover, the largest supplier of Starfall Lake perch has not appeared for a long time due to some irresistible reasons, so this kind of perch is almost unavailable in Mondstadt at present.

After learning about the existence of such a kind of sea bass, Xiangling's pursuit for delicious food was suddenly ignited. She hurried back home, said something to Xiang Ruojin, and wanted to run to Xingluo Lake.

Accustomed to Xiangling's impetuous manner, Ruojin did not intend to stop her at first, until he saw Xiangling picked up the kitchen knife and spatula she usually used for cooking, then Ruojin realized something was wrong. It seemed that Xiangling was going on a long journey. Finally, after Ruojin's questioning, Xiangling stammered and told him her purpose.

"But, Brother Jin, I really want to try that kind of sea bass, please let me go, please let me go~"

She secretly glanced at Ruojin out of the corner of her eye, and when she found that Ruojin didn't have a serious expression, Xiangling's eyes lit up. Based on her understanding of Ruojin, there should be room for negotiation on this matter.

Recalling the delicious sea bass that Sarah had described to her, Xiangling blushed, and she picked up Ruojin's arm and started shaking it, imitating the coquettish manner of the heroine in the light novel.

"Please, Brother Jin, just let me go."

Originally, Ruo Jin didn't intend to give in, but the warm and soft feeling on his arm made Ruo Jin's heart beat twice faster. Where did this little girl learn this? It's really unbearable. Why didn't he see that this little girl was so good at acting like a spoiled child before? After sighing in his heart that Xiangling, this little girl, has grown up and can act like a spoiled child, Ruo Jin rubbed his eyebrows.

"Alright, alright, just this once. I don't know who you learned this from."

"Great, Brother Jin, you're the best."

When Xiangling heard Ruojin agreed, she was so happy that she jumped up on the spot. Maybe because her movement was too large, the luggage that Xiangling had hastily packed just now was scattered on the ground. Looking at the mess on the ground, Ruojin touched Xiangling's head.

"I haven't finished talking yet. I'll go with you this time. I'll feel more at ease if I'm by your side."

"Oh, really? That's great. Brother Jin, if you come with me, I can cook you the freshest sea bass."

When Xiangling heard that Ruojin was going to go with her, she excitedly threw herself into Ruojin's arms. She had never thought that Ruojin would go with her before, as if it was because of some other things. In Xiangling's opinion, Ruojin didn't seem to like fishing very much, so it was a pleasant surprise that he could go with her this time.

Well, it seems that the ways of acting coquettishly in the light novels that Sister Ying'er gave her are really powerful. If there is a chance, I must borrow a few more light novels from her to read.

In Ruojin's arms, Xiangling secretly thanked Ying'er in her heart. If Ying'er hadn't taught her a few tricks when she brought her food last time, Ruojin would probably not have agreed to let her go to Xingluo Lake today.

Looking at Xiangling in Ruojin's arms, the Dragon King Ruotu silently blocked his perception and lay down in the seal to prepare for a sleep. He had no interest in human love affairs. He only had his good brother Morax in his heart.

At this time in Liyue Harbor, Ying'er sneezed without warning, thinking that the people who had talked to her recently should all be single. Just as she was thinking, Hu Tao, who was walking towards her, attracted Ying'er's curiosity. This Hu Tangzhu seemed to be in a good mood recently. He had a faint smile on his face for several days. Tsk, it seems necessary to get to know him. "Hey~ Isn't this Hu Tangzhu? Hu Tangzhu, I have some good things here. Do you want to come and have a look? These are all treasures that people want to see again."

"Good stuff? Sister Ying'er, you didn't make a porcelain box, did you? Although that thing is not easy to rot, it is too easy to break and is not suitable as another home."

"Don't worry, I have all these goodies that will keep you coming back for more~"

In Mondstadt, Xiangling, who was still grateful to Ying'er in her heart, prepared a table of food for Ying and Paimon who had not yet returned, and then pulled Ruojin towards the direction of Xingluo Lake.

When the two of them reached the gate of Mondstadt, Xiangling suddenly slowed down and pulled Ruojin to hide in the bushes beside the bridge. When Ruojin saw the shining eyes of Xiangling, he knew that Xiangling's occupational disease had come back.

"Brother Jin, how about I make you some pigeon soup tonight? The pigeons on this bridge all look plump and delicious, perfect for making soup."

"Let's go fishing first. It won't be too late to take action after I find out whether the pigeon is wild. You forgot that we were harassed by someone when we dug up bamboo shoots grown by someone else."

Ruo Jin slapped Xiang Ling on the head. Xiang Ling covered her forehead and stuck out her tongue. It would be better to get to the bottom of things like this. She didn't want to embarrass herself in Mondstadt.

The distance from Mondstadt to Starfall Lake is not very short. It would take an ordinary person two or three hours to walk there even if they walked fast. However, Xiangling and Ruojin both possessed the Eye of God, so their physical fitness and combat effectiveness were top-notch.

In order to reach Xingluo Lake quickly, Ruojin and Xiangling decided not to take the usual route. Based on the principle that the straight line is the shortest distance between two points, in less than an hour, they traveled straight from Mondstadt through various forests to reach Xingluo Lake. During the journey, they dealt with various monsters they encountered.

"Brother Jin, there are too many monsters in the wild of Mondstadt. We have collected slime gels of seven elements along the way."

"Lululu~"

After putting away the slime gel of the seven elements, Xiangling leaned against a big tree beside Xingluo Lake to rest. Fishing and catching fish were both technical jobs, and she needed to replenish her strength.

Guoba, who had been following Xiangling all the way, slumped on the ground. He was so tired that he no longer had any desire to eat the sea bass. He just wanted to find a place to have a good sleep and deal with everything after he woke up.

The sound of grass rubbing against each other came into his ears. Guoba, who was lying on the ground half asleep and half awake, squinted his eyes and observed for a while. After finding no danger, Guoba scratched his butt, turned over and prepared to continue sleeping soundly.

Before he fell asleep again, Guoba suddenly felt his buttocks seemed to be poked by a small branch. Guoba sat up dazedly, his two small eyes looking at the grass beside him.

The dense green grass completely blocked Guoba's vision. In order to have a good sleep, Guoba slowly got up and staggered towards the grass. He wanted to see what was disturbing his sleep. If it was some food, he could catch it and give it to Xiangling.

In order to prevent scaring away the food behind the bushes, Guoba deliberately slowed down his pace. After walking near the bushes, Guoba imitated a pet from another world that Ying had described to Xiangling and aimed at the bushes using that pet's famous move - Water Splashing Leap (Guoba version).

"Ouch~"
