The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 380 Walnut on the Voyage

“Ahhhhhhh, Ah Jin, this deck is too countered by Ying’s new strategy. I’ve lost the whole day. Please let me build another deck~”

On the second day of the sea voyage, amidst the wailing of Hu Tao, Ruo Jin, who was playing chess with Zhongli, first felt his back sink. Then, Hu Tao, who was holding the Seven Saints Summoning Cards in her hand, moved her little head from Ruo Jin's back to Ruo Jin's face. Feeling Hu Tao's flattery, Ruo Jin sighed helplessly.

In fact, he put away the other cards for a reason. On the first day of sailing on the sea, which was yesterday, Hu Tao and Ying played Seven Summonings until midnight. If Ruo Jin hadn't dragged Hu Tao to sleep, Ruo Jin felt that Hu Tao and Ying could play all night long.

In order to build a deck that would ensure a win against Ying, Hu Tao was secretly fiddling with the cards while he was holding Hu Tao to sleep. At first, Ruo Jin, who was holding Hu Tao to sleep, did not take it seriously. It was not until the next morning, which was this morning, when he saw the dark circles under Hu Tao's eyes and the Seven Saints Summoning Cards in her hand, that Ruo Jin realized the seriousness of the matter.

In order to prevent Hu Tao from staying up all night thinking about the Seven Summoning Cards, Ruo Jin had to resort to the last resort to confiscate Hu Tao's cards. Otherwise, Ruo Jin was actually very tolerant towards Hu Tao.

Hu Tao also knew that it was wrong for her to stay up late to work on the deck last night, so even though she had lost the whole day, she still didn't go to find Ruo Jin. Until just now, when Ying threw six dice of different elements and still beat her, Hu Tao felt it was a shame and couldn't hold on any longer. Thinking of Ying's arrogant look after he beat her, Hu Tao said to Ruo Jin in a coquettish tone.

"Ajin, Ajin, my good Ajin, just take out the other cards. I've been losing all day. If I keep losing, you, the owner of the card, will be embarrassed, right?"

"And think about it, Ah Jin. I have lost so many games, and I lost in front of a Sumeru person like Senuo. If I don't win back, it will be a great loss of face for me, the 77th generation head of the Wangsheng Hall."

Hu Tao put her arms around Ruo Jin's neck, put her pink lips next to Ruo Jin's ear, and her warm breath fanned Ruo Jin's face, which made Ruo Jin completely lose the desire to play chess with Zhongli.

Sensing Ruojin's distraction, a gleam of light flashed in Hu Tao's unique plum blossom pupils, and then she slid down Ruojin's body directly from Ruojin's back into Ruojin's arms.

He did not expect Hu Tao to do this suddenly. Feeling the weight of Hu Tao's body leaning in his arms, Ruo Jin could only hug Hu Tao's body with both hands in a hurry. This made Hu Tao be directly held in Ruo Jin's arms. In the eyes of other people on the Death Star, it was as if Ruo Jin was holding Hu Tao in a princess hug. The posture was very ambiguous.

This made many girls who had never been in love, led by Mona, cover their eyes with their hands. The girlish modesty was clearly revealed at this moment, but if the gaps between their fingers were not so big, then the girlish modesty might have been displayed more vividly.

"Ajin, okay Ajin, just promise me~ I promise you that I will never stay up late to play cards again."

Being hugged by Hu Tao and acted like a spoiled child, even though Ruo Jin had made up his mind before that he would not give the card to Hu Tao no matter what she said, he was gradually losing himself now.

So, under Hu Tao's repeated calls of "Okay, Ah Jin", Ruo Jin in a daze gave all the Seven Saints Summoning Cards that he had confiscated to Hu Tao. When he saw that his goal was achieved, Hu Tao smacked Ruo Jin on the face and then immediately shouted to Ying.

"Traveler, come on, let's continue. I don't believe I can't defeat you!"

Looking at Hu Tao's hurried back, Ruo Jin slowly came back to his senses, but when he came back to his senses, Hu Tao had already pulled Ying to start a new round of game.

As the saying goes, "Watching a game of chess without saying a word", even if Ruo Jin felt a little regretful for giving the cards to Hu Tao, he would not interrupt Hu Tao's interest at this time. As long as Hu Tao did not stay up late or play all night, he could let her play. Looking at Hu Tao fighting fiercely with Ying on the card table, Ruo Jin could only comfort himself in this way. "It seems that this Master Hu really has caught up with Ah Jin. Tsk, I am still single, but now Master Hu is one step ahead of me."

"But I see that Hall Master Hu and Ruo Jin have such a good relationship now. I'm afraid my little sister Xiangling will be overshadowed by Hall Master Hu."

Although she is called the uncrowned Dragon King by the outside world, Beidou is still a woman after all, and women naturally like to discuss gossip the most. Beidou, who has nothing to do, has already started talking about gossip to Mona beside her.

"Sister Beidou, you are right. Hall Master Hu and Ruo Jin have been alone together for such a long time. I am afraid Xiangling is really one step behind Hall Master Hu."

Mona looked at Hu Tao and couldn't help feeling difficult for Xiang Ling. Judging from the current situation, Xiang Ling might not be as simple as just one step. Given the relationship between Ruo Jin and Hu Tao, Mona would not find it surprising even if the two got married tomorrow.

"Alas, I feel so sorry for my little sister Xiangling. I will have to have a good talk with her after returning to Liyue Harbor."

Since Xiangling had always been interested in exotic ingredients, she would sometimes entrust Beidou to collect some ingredients. After hearing that Xiangling cooked delicious food, Beidou never asked for Xiangling's Mora. Every time she got some ingredients, she would ask Xiangling to treat her to a free meal at Wanmin Hall.

In addition, Xiangling is Ruojin's sworn sister. With Ruojin as the relationship, Beidou will naturally not let Xiangling suffer any loss. The ingredients he brings for Xiangling are often far superior to the meals in Wanmin Hall. As a result, Beidou naturally becomes familiar with Xiangling.

Beidou naturally doesn't dislike Xiangling, a lively and cheerful little cook who can cook delicious food. Therefore, in the relationship between Xiangling and Ruojin, Beidou doesn't want to see Xiangling lag too far behind Hutao, even though Beidou also likes this little girl Hutao very much.

"Master, do you think Amber will participate in this cooking competition?"

It has been a while since I last saw Amber. Cole really hopes to see Amber in Liyue this time. It is this hope that makes Cole speak more gently and yearningly than ever before.

"According to the news received by Little Auspicious Grass King, I think it should be possible to see him."

As Cole's teacher, Tinari thought about it and told Cole his guess. After all, Tinari knew everything that happened to Cole, so he told Cole the news in advance to make him happy. Tinari thought it should be no problem.

"Oh, really? That's great! I can see Amber again. I, I'm going to prepare a gift for Amber!"

The fact was just as Tinari expected. After hearing what Tinari said, Cole suddenly became excited. Then, as if he thought of something important, he turned around and rushed into her room and began to rummage through her luggage. While rummaging through the luggage, Cole couldn't help laughing and looked extremely happy.
