The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 34: Encounter with Klee
"Guoba, look at you, you are such a big bear, why are you still bullying little girls, and you even bullied the little girl until she cried."

Xiangling pinched Guoba's chubby ears and lectured him. Guoba tilted his head with an innocent look on his face. He really didn't expect that there was a cute little girl behind the bushes.

"Brother Jin, is this little sister okay?"

"Well, it should be nothing. I was just frightened by Guoba's sudden move from the sky just now."

Ruo Jin held the little girl in his arms and patted her back gently. When the red clothes of the little girl touched Ruo Jin's palm, a breath of sunshine passed into Ruo Jin's palm. This little girl did not seem as simple as she looked. At least Ruo Jin had never felt this feeling before.

After the little girl nestled in Ruo Jin's arms for a while, she found that the strange "monster" that suddenly appeared in front of her did not attack her. In addition, the big brother who protected her gave her a feeling of reliability that was as good as that of Captain Qin. So, Keli slowly poked her head out of Ruo Jin's arms and looked at Guoba who was smiling foolishly at the side.

"Lululu~"

Seeing the little girl looking at him, Guoba waved to her enthusiastically. Guoba, with his short legs and short arms, looked very honest in the way he greeted her.

This adorable look made the little girl happy instantly. The fear in her heart was swept away by Guoba's silly smile. She even took the initiative to crawl out of Ruojin's arms and ran to Guoba to introduce herself.

"Hello little bear, my name is Keli."

Klee adjusted the little red hat on her head, put her little hand on her chest and introduced herself seriously like Captain Qin. Guoba also gave her face and replied like Klee.

"Lululu~"

Looking at the two little ones who were already interacting with each other, Xiangling breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the child didn't seem to be frightened. Xiangling squatted down and took out a few sesame cakes she had made and handed them to Keli.

"Little boy, you must be hungry. Here is a sesame cake for you. Where is your home? Why are you here alone?"

"Have you lost your family? Do you need your sister to take you back to Mondstadt?"

Smelling a strong sesame aroma, Klee swallowed her saliva. When she heard Xiangling say that she would send her back to Mondstadt, Klee's little head shook so hard that it almost became a rattle.

She had managed to sneak out of Mondstadt and even came to the relatively far Starfall Lake, thinking that she could fish to her heart's content. Now that she was told to be sent back to Mondstadt, it would be strange if Klee agreed.

"Sister, Keli can't eat the sesame cake. Captain Qin said that children can't eat things given by strangers."

"Besides, Keli has Dudu to accompany her, so she won't be in any danger."

As she spoke, Keli turned around and showed Xiangling a small doll hanging on her schoolbag. However, when Keli turned around, her little stomach made a faint protest, indicating that she had not eaten for the whole morning and was in urgent need of nutrition.

Hearing the title of Captain Qin, Ruo Jin felt much more at ease. It seemed that this little girl named Keli should be a relative of Captain Qin. In this case, there was no need to worry about not being able to find the child's family.

Hearing the sound of Klee's belly, Xiangling burst out laughing. This cute little girl was so much like her when she was little, which made Xiangling feel like she was facing her childhood self. Klee rubbed her belly with a shy blush on her face. Because she was in a hurry to go out and was worried about being encountered by the patrolling Knights of Favonius, Klee didn't even have breakfast and waited at the gate for the opportunity to sneak out to play. Playing is much more important than eating at Klee's age.

Realizing Klee's embarrassment, Ruo Jin walked to an apple tree nearby and punched the trunk of the tree. Then the ripe apples on the tree fell down with a crackling sound. He dodged several apples that fell from the tree, pointed at the apples on the ground and said to Klee.

"Come here, little Keri, have some apples. They just fell from the tree. Come and take them yourself. You picked them yourself."

"Oh, yes, thank you, big brother."

When Klee thought about it, it seemed to be true. She pulled the silly Guoba beside her and ran to the apple tree to pick up apples. Xiangling saw that Klee and Guoba looked like good brothers, so she took out her tools and started preparing to catch fish.

Fishing seems a bit slow, and with the addition of the little girl Klee, there will definitely be more dishes to cook. It might be a bit late to return to Mondstadt after fishing. It seems that I can only use the tools that Sister Beidou brought back from Inazuma.

After pondering the dishes she was going to make and the number of sea bass she would need, Xiangling took out Beidou's birthday gift, a blue harpoon. It seemed to be called "Catch"? It seemed to be this name, right?
"Big brother, this apple is for you."

After eating three apples, Klee's little stomach no longer felt hungry. Little Klee did not forget Ruojin, the kind person who helped her get the apples. She took an apple and ran to Ruojin and handed it to him.

"Xiao Keli, my name is Ruojin, you can call me Brother Ruojin or Brother Jin."

"Brother Ruojin."

Klee called Ruojin "Brother" sweetly. Ruojin smiled slightly, took the apple handed to him by Klee and took a bite. It was crunchy and sweet, which reminded him of Xiangling when she was a child. Xiangling at that time was as cute as Klee now. Xiangling would always think of him when her father, Master Mao, made delicious food.

"Little Keli, did you run to Xingluo Lake by yourself? You didn't encounter any danger on the way, did you?"

Ruojin and Xiangling encountered many monsters along the way. Although Klee had the Eye of God, how could such a young child have the fighting power of a big man? I really don't know how Klee's family educated her.

When observing Klee just now, Ruo Jin discovered the Divine Eye on Klee. Ruo Jin was surprised that such a young child could have the Divine Eye.

"No, brother Ruojin, the hillbillies that Klee encountered on the road were very weak. Klee blew them all away in a few hits."

Keli put her hands on her waist and raised her little head proudly. Her awesome look really amused Ruojin. This little girl was really lovable.

"Jin boy, this little girl is not human. See her pointed ears? I remember that only the legendary elves have ears like this."

"And the backpack this little girl is carrying is not just any ordinary thing. It seems to involve some kind of space magic. This little elf girl's identity and background are probably extraordinary."

Inside Ruojin's body, the sharp-eyed King Rota could tell at a glance that Klee was different from ordinary people. Before he was sealed, he had only heard of the elves but had never seen one. He didn't expect to meet an elf in Mond today.
