The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 374 Ying's Surprise
"Wow, I didn't expect that you would treat us today, Dolly. I'm going to eat more today."

In the restaurant, after sitting down, she found out that today it was Dolly, the profiteer who had cheated her and Ying, who was going to clear out the customers. Then, when Paimon met Ruojin and his friends on the street, he started pointing at the menu.

After Paimon's cooking, he ordered all the meat-related dishes on the menu. This time, Ying did not lecture Paimon at all. On the contrary, Ying even ordered some wine and juice.

"Dolly, you won't feel bad for Maura for ordering so many dishes, will you?"

Thinking of how Dolly had cheated him out of hundreds of thousands of Mora, Paimon, who had ordered a bunch of dishes, glared at Dolly, trying to see a look of heartache on Dolly's face. However, Paimon, who didn't know that Dolly would definitely make a fortune after reaching a cooperation with Walnut, miscalculated this time. Dolly smiled and said to Paimon and Ying.

"Oh, you two heroes who saved Xumi, order whatever you want. It's my treat today, so I have to make sure everyone eats comfortably."

"I've offended you before, so please forgive me, my two heroes. This meal is my apology to you two heroes. Waiter, please prepare a portion of the dishes that are not on the menu. We can't let our Xumi heroes go hungry."

Dolly pushed the small glasses on her nose, her tone full of sincerity, as if she felt that her sincerity was not enough. Dolly picked up the menu and called the waiter to add a few more dishes that Paimon did not order.

"Dolly, that's enough, please don't order more. I really can't eat more if you order more."

Seeing that Dolly wanted to order more food, Paimon hurried forward to stop her. Of course, the reason why Paimon stopped Dolly from ordering more food was not because she knew how much she could eat, but because Paimon didn't think the remaining dishes on the menu were delicious when she had eaten them before.

Moreover, I don’t know if it’s because the chef’s cooking skills are not good or the dishes are just mushy, but Paimon didn’t want to eat them again after eating them once. After all, Paimon really had no appetite for those mushy dishes.

"Okay, okay. If you don't have enough food later, you can order more."

Under Paimon's obstruction, Dolly could only "forced" to nod and agree not to order the remaining dishes. This also made Paimon feel relieved. If this was in Liyue, Paimon would not stop Dolly, and might even directly ask the chef to cook a menu. However, if it was in Xumi, Paimon really had to be careful when ordering dishes.

Ever since she ordered a mushy dish and ate it all, Paimon's little brain always worked quickly every time she ordered food at the Xumi Restaurant. This made Ying sigh more than once that Paimon seemed to have become smarter since coming to Xumi, the kingdom of wisdom.

After ordering the dishes, Ying felt a little unwilling looking at Dolly in front of her, because the food and drinks in this restaurant were not very expensive, and Ying remembered clearly that Dolly had cheated her out of so much Mora and in the end she could only buy a few cans of junk knowledge. When she thought about being cheated out of so much Mora by Dolly, Ying felt a pang of heartache while covering her not very plump breasts.

How long would it take her to collect enough Mora by doing so many commissions? But she was tricked by Dolly with just a few words. It would be nice if she was given something practical, but the canned knowledge she bought was useless. Damn it, she couldn't think about it anymore. If she continued, her breasts would swell with anger.

After glaring at Dolly who was smiling, Ying angrily stopped thinking about the Moras who were cheated by Dolly. After all, she was not a stingy person. Although Dolly was a profiteer, Dolly's things were indeed clearly marked with prices. Although they were a bit expensive, she was not a bad person.

So, considering that Dolly was treating her today, Ying decided to forgive Dolly for the time being. As long as Dolly didn't continue to cheat her in the future, she wouldn't mind being friends with Dolly. After all, having such a friend would make it much easier for her to explore Xumi in the future. "By the way, Ying, have you heard of the name of the Great Kind Tree King?"

Ever since he saw Ying, the traveler from another world, the Dragon King Ruota has been urging Ruojin to ask Ying if she had heard of the name of the Great Compassion Tree King. However, because Ying's eyes had obviously become dangerous after seeing Dolly just now, Ruojin did not ask Ying at the first time. Now that he found that Ying's expression had become natural, Ruojin asked Ying finally.

"Great Kind Tree King! Ruo Jin, where did you hear this name?!"

When Ying heard Ruojin say the four words "Great Compassion Tree King", her eyes suddenly widened as if she had heard something incredible, because according to the Great Compassion Tree King, she and her two outsiders should be the only ones in the entire continent of Teyvat who would not forget the Great Compassion Tree King. Why did Ruojin still know the name of the Great Compassion Tree King?
Could it be that her brother found Ruojin and wanted to drag her to the abyss? That doesn't make sense. Zhongli has been in the Hall of Rebirth recently. With the Rock King Emperor around, her brother shouldn't be so bold. But if it wasn't her brother, who could it be?

For a moment, Ying thought of many possibilities, but then denied them in her heart. After all, Zhongli was right next to Ruojin, and he would definitely be able to detect anything. So Ying couldn't understand why Ruojin knew the name of the Great Compassion Tree King.

"Well, it was Boss Ruota who said that. I just wanted to ask you if you knew it."

Ruojin waved his hand casually. Although the tone of his answer was a bit casual, it was not difficult for Ruojin to tell from Ying's performance just now that Ying really knew the name of the Great Compassion Tree King. This made Ruojin a little surprised. Could it be that what Boss Ruota said was true, and the Great Compassion Tree King really existed?

"Did Senior Ruotu Dragon King say that? Ruojin, I will tell you about this matter tonight."

After hearing what Ruojin said that King Ruota told him, Ying decided to tell Ruojin the truth after hesitating for a while. Even though Ruojin might not believe the truth, Ying did not want to lie to Ruojin, who had accompanied her to travel around the four countries.

"Row."

From Ying's expression, one could vaguely sense that this matter might not be simple. Ruojin nodded and agreed without asking any further questions. The Ruota Dragon King in Ruojin's body did not say anything either. Although the Ruota Dragon King did not like to use his brain much, this matter was so abnormal that the Ruota Dragon King rarely calmed down and thought about it.

Hu Tao, who was listening in confusion, saw that Ruo Jin and Ying both looked like it was inconvenient to talk here, so she started to liven up the atmosphere. With Hu Tao, an expert in livening up the atmosphere, the atmosphere at the table soon became lively.

"Speaking of which, Ying, are you going to go back to Liyue with us in a few days? I see you've been quite busy in Xumi recently."

As they ate and talked, they somehow ended up discussing the issue of leaving Xumi. When Ruojin asked Ying whether she wanted to go back to Liyue with them, Paimeng answered before Ying could reply.

"Of course I have to go back with you. Liyue's Moon Festival is coming soon. I heard from Nashida that Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Xumi will send people to Liyue to participate in the cooking competition held by the Seven Stars during the Moon Festival. If there is such a good thing, we will definitely go back to Liyue."
