The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 378 The eve of sailing
"Ranger Tinari is Miss Cole's master, and Miss Cole is Miss Nilu's assistant who is going to Liyue to participate in the cooking competition. I can understand him following us to Liyue Harbor."

"But why did you, Grand Disciplinary Officer Seino, also follow us on the Death Star to Liyue Harbor? Could it be that Mr. Seino, as the Grand Disciplinary Officer, took a day off at this time when Xumi is in need of people?"

On the Death Star, Dolly, who had bought a lot of Xumi specialties and planned to take them to Liyue Harbor to sell, saw the great disciplinarian Seno on the Death Star and couldn't help but feel curious about why Seno appeared here.

Of course, after the void terminal was banned by the Little Auspicious Grass King, Dolly no longer engaged in the illegal business of selling canned knowledge, so she is not worried about being caught by Seno now.

But Dolly still has a lot of other gray industry chains in her hands, so Dolly is curious about why the great disciplinary officer Seno appears on Death Star. She is more worried that Seno is targeting her and is trying to find evidence of her crimes and confiscate her assets.

Ever since King Little Auspicious Grass regained his freedom, under his management, many sages of the previous Court of Deputies were thrown into prison for various crimes, and the Great Sage was even killed by the Traveler with a single blow.

The properties of these sages were confiscated by Seno and the disciplinary officers and used to develop the Xumi economy. According to the information from Dolly's spies, the Mora found in the homes of these sages was enough to cover the tax revenue of Xumi for decades. When Seno, the great disciplinary officer, saw this number, he was so shocked that he was speechless, which made Dolly regret it secretly.

If she had known that the properties of those sages would be confiscated, she would have sent people to "borrow some" from those sages' homes in advance. After all, she had made a lot of arrangements over the years in order to successfully obtain the canned knowledge. Now that the void terminals have been banned, it would not be excessive for her to take back the Mora that she had arranged for all these years and get some interest at the same time.

Unfortunately, by the time she thought of this, Seno had already asked the disciplinary officers to seal off the residences and families of those sages. Otherwise, Dolly would have to show what professionalism is.

Ahem, I've gone off topic, but after this incident, the wealthy people in Xumi were filled with fear of Senuo, fearing that Senuo would bring disciplinary officers to surround their homes one day. Not only that, some wealthy businessmen who had previously been courteous to the sages were even more worried, fearing that the little auspicious grass king would investigate them.

Although Dolly was confident that her previous actions would not leave any traces, if she was really targeted by Seno, the gray industrial chain under her might lose a large amount of Mora.

"The purpose of my trip is to assist the people from Liyue in clearing the passage near the Stratum Abyss that can lead directly to Xumi. As for the cooking competition, that is the responsibility of Tinari."

Seno glanced at Dolly who had a fake smile on her face. These days, with the various policies issued by the little auspicious grass king, Seno, as a high-ranking disciplinarian, has seen this kind of smile many times. If it were anyone else, Seno would have ignored them, but Dolly was different.

According to Lord Little Jixiang Grass King's investigation, Dolly not only did not evade taxes, but also provided a well-paid part-time job for his disciplinary officers. This made Seno have a very good impression of Dolly and made Seno want to make friends with Dolly, so after stating his purpose, Seno continued.

"If you're bored, I can tell you a joke about Liyue."

"A joke about Liyue?"

When Dolly heard Seno mention Liyue, the destination they were about to go to, and knew that Seno liked to tell jokes, she had originally intended to get along well with Seno and listened to him, but now that she heard about Liyue, Dolly became interested and nodded.

"Do you know why Liyue has always advocated that pedestrians keep to the right when walking on the road?"

"Um, well, is it because you're worried about pedestrians getting into a collision and then getting into a fight?"

Stunned by Seno's question, Dolly thought for a moment and then said the answer she thought was a little uncertain. This was the most reliable answer she could think of. "No, it's because of the blessing of the Rock King (right)"

"..."

"Isn't it funny? Then let me tell you another one. Do you know why we can't shake hands with the immortals of Liyue?"

Seeing that not only was there no genuine smile on Dolly's face, but even the fake smile on her face was frozen, Seno was ready to say something else to ease the atmosphere.

"Uh, because that would be disrespectful to the Immortal Master?"

Since Dolly had dealt with many merchants from Liyue during his business, he naturally knew the various rules and laws of Liyue. When he saw the crime of disrespecting the immortal master, Dolly even went out of his way to learn about the immortals of Liyue. However, since most of the immortals came and went without a trace, Dolly never got any information and the matter ended up being left unresolved.

What really made her understand about immortals was when Ningguang told her when they were working together to sell dolls. So when Dolly heard Seno mention the immortals in Liyue, who thought she knew more about immortals than Seno, also gave her answer.

"No, you're wrong. We can't hold it because of the cactus."

"..."

"Nilu, do you feel a little cold around you? Do you Xumi people like to hear this kind of joke?"

Hu Tao, who had been obsessed with the Seven Saints Summons for the past three days, shuddered in her arms after hearing the jokes told by Seno. At the same time, she expressed her doubts about the Xumi people's understanding of the word "joke". In Hu Tao's impression, jokes are meant to make people laugh, so why do the jokes told by Seno make people feel so cold? Is this the unique understanding of the word "joke" by the Kingdom of Wisdom?

"Seno, you have successfully made the image of us Xumi people abstract."

Tinari held his forehead with one hand, his tone full of helplessness. His best friend was good in every way except that he could not recognize how ridiculous his jokes were. He really inherited his teacher's habit of telling ridiculous jokes perfectly.

"Don't you think this is funny? Then I'm going to pull out my best joke."

Hearing his best friend Tinari say this about him, Seno felt a little unconvinced, so he started to prepare to tell his best joke to amuse Tinari and the others. Unfortunately, Tinari stopped Seno before he could finish his speech.

"Stop, stop, stop. Senuo, come with me to check if there is anything you forgot to bring. If you keep talking, the image of us Xumi people will really become abstract in the eyes of foreigners."

After taking a look at the sailors who came over to join in the fun, Tinari pulled Seno to check the luggage so that the image of the Xumi people would not be spread as the sailors traveled to various countries.
