The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 44: Bennett's bad luck today

Under Lei Ze's leadership, the fifty hook-hook fruits commissioned by Barbara were quickly picked. Ruo Jin also picked a few fuller hook-hook fruits and planned to go back to Xiang Ling to study and see if he could make a new dish out of them.

Originally, Ruo Jin wanted to pick a few more, but after he took a bite and found that the taste of the hook-hook fruit was really not that good, in order to prevent Xiang Ling from making dishes of the level of Qingxin Fried Slime Gel again, Ruo Jin decisively gave up the idea of ​​picking more. Every time Xiang Ling made a new dish and couldn't find anyone to try it, Ruo Jin was the first person Xiang Ling thought of.

The key point is that Ruo Jin has no way to refuse Xiangling. Anyone who is looked at with pity by his sworn sister will feel soft-hearted, but the next few days after feeling soft-hearted may not be easy.

If he were to suffer from diarrhea, one could imagine what would happen to other people. At first, the Dragon King Ruotu made fun of him, but after it happened several times in a row, the Dragon King Ruotu was puzzled. He even suspected that Xiangling was the reincarnation of a demon god who could make elixirs. The effect of the medicine was too strong.

They also pulled out a few hook-hook fruit seedlings for Xiangling. Ruo Jin and his companions said goodbye to Lei Ze and prepared to return to Mondstadt to deliver the commission. What was surprising during this period was that the picking process went surprisingly smoothly and Bennett was not even injured.

"Brother Lei Ze, see you later. Klee will help you fry wild boars next time."

"Raze, I'll be leaving first. Next time, we'll go explore the ruins together. It is said that the Adventurer's Association has discovered several more ruins."

Klee, Bennett and Razor said goodbye to each other. Maybe it was because Bennett had a smooth morning, but his bad luck seemed to get worse right after they said goodbye.

The branch was fine when Ruo Jin and Klee passed by it in the previous second, but in the next second when Bennett walked here, the big branch broke with a snap without any warning, and hit Bennett's arm hard, causing Bennett's arm to swell up instantly.

"Ah, it hurts."

Seeing that the big branch was about to hit Bennett's feet again, Ruojin was quick enough to kick the branch away, thus avoiding Bennett's secondary injury.

"Bennett, are you okay?"

"Brother Ruojin, I'm fine. I'll go find Miss Barbara for treatment when we get back to Mondstadt."

Ruojin, who had never studied medicine, couldn't tell whether Bennett had any broken bones. But based on Ruojin's previous experience of falling from the mountain, even someone like him with an extremely high recovery speed would have to rest for a few days if his body was swollen like this. Bennett would probably have to recuperate for a while.

However, Bennett's strong character is still worthy of praise. Seeing Bennett covering his arm, enduring the pain and saying that it was okay, not only Ruo Jin, but even the Dragon King Ruota began to admire this young man named Bennett.

"Bennett, your injury is getting more and more swollen the longer you wait. Razor, I'm going to take Klee and Bennett back to Mondstadt first."

"Be careful on the road, monster."

Lei Ze's calm tone revealed worry, and at the same time he felt a little guilty. If he had reacted immediately, his best friend would not have been injured. Perhaps after dealing with the foreign wolves, he should go to the "King" to ask about how to become stronger.

After taking a look at the sizes of Bennett and Klee, and considering that it might not be convenient to carry one on his back or hold the other in his arms, Ruojin simply held one in each arm. After Bennett and Klee were firmly held, Ruojin's immortal power flowed, and with a leap, a small hole was left on the ground, and Ruojin shot out like an arrow.

Don't ask him why he didn't jump high and fly with the Wind Wings. For some reason, Ruo Jin just couldn't learn the Wind Wings no matter how hard he practiced. He broke at least 800 of them when he practiced the Wind Wings in Liyue.

Ruo Jin was puzzled by this for a long time. He asked himself, since he was not a stupid person, why couldn't he learn to control the Wings of Wind to fly in the air? When he used the Wings of Wind, he could not control his balance as soon as he opened them and fell down.

"Wow, Klee is flying! Can you go faster, brother Ruojin? Faster."

Feeling the flowers, plants and trees around her rapidly retreating backwards, Keli did not feel any fear or terror. Instead, she found the feeling of moving quickly in the air very exciting and shouted at Ruojin to go faster.

Following the principle that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, Ruo Jin found the direction of Mondstadt and plunged into the woods without caring whether it was dangerous or not. During this time, he accidentally knocked a pot from the Hillilk camp away, and the food cooked in the pot spilled all over Bennett's pants.

On the road, they happened to fly over a few Wind Crystal Butterflies. With a flick of Klee's short legs, a Wind Crystal Butterfly that didn't know what was going on was forced to hitch a ride with Ruo Jin.

While Klee was having fun, Bennett, who had his arm stuck, was not feeling well. Apart from his wet pants, when Ruo Jin flew over the Wind Crystal Butterfly just now, he happened to open his mouth to breathe deeply, and accidentally swallowed a Wind Crystal Butterfly into his stomach. As a result, Bennett's stomach was very uncomfortable. He felt as if there was a flow of air churning in his stomach.

"People in the sky, please show me your pilot's license!"

After entering Mondstadt and jumping a few times on the roof, Ruo Jin heard a Knight of Favonius on the ground shouting at him. Looking at the Knight of Favonius's appearance, Ruo Jin felt that the Knight of Favonius was definitely preparing to talk to him about a pilot's license.

However, because the situation was rather urgent and he did not have a pilot's license, Ruo Jin glanced at the knight chasing him on the street and chose to ignore him. He rushed towards the location of the Cathedral of West Wind that Klee pointed out.

The sudden increase in speed soon left the Knight of Favonius behind. After chasing for a while, the Knight of Favonius found that he could not catch up, so he simply stopped because it was time for him to get off work. The rest of the work would be left to the Knight of Favonius who would take over.

Inside the Cathedral of West Wind, it was the first time for Ruo Jin to come to the Cathedral of West Wind, and he was deeply shocked by the solemnity inside the Cathedral of West Wind. If the architecture of the Jade Pavilion emphasized luxury, then the Cathedral of West Wind before him directly placed the Mond people's faith in Barbatos in front of everyone.

Inside the Cathedral of West Wind, the stone pillars supporting the church are made of the finest marble produced in Liyue, the seats throughout the church are made of precious wood from Xumi, and the various decorations are extremely exquisite. The cost of building such a church would probably not be much lower than that of the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Although he was shocked, Ruo Jin did not forget the purpose of coming here. Just when he put Keli down and was about to find a nun to ask where Barbara was, Keli shouted out before him.

"Sister Barbara, come and see Brother Bennett."

Klee's clear voice echoed in the West Wind Cathedral. In an instant, the eyes of all the nuns in the church were focused on Klee and Ruo Jin behind her.

Being stared at by a group of nuns with curious eyes, Klee was fine but Ruojin was a little nervous. After all, the Cathedral of the West Wind was a place to pray for the protection of the wind god. If someone made a loud noise in such a place, Liyue would call it disrespectful to the immortal master. Fortunately, Barbara heard Klee's voice and hurriedly ran out of the ward inside the Cathedral of the West Wind. After seeing Bennett lying on the ground, she asked Ruojin to help carry Bennett to the ward, which made Ruojin leave the sight of these nuns.

"Did Bennett eat something poisonous? Klee and this gentleman, do you remember what the food you ate looked like? Just give a general description."

After checking Bennett's symptoms, it was found that Barbara was indeed a very gentle and kind girl, just as Bennett described. However, Ruo Jin felt that this girl seemed a little stupid. Bennett's arm was clearly injured, so why did he ask about what he had eaten?

When Ruo Jin was about to tell Barbara that Bennett's injury was in his arm, he accidentally glanced at Bennett. This glance made Ruo Jin stunned. Bennett's stomach had bulged out without him knowing.

"Shit, Keli, you don't feel uncomfortable in your stomach, do you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, Keli thinks the hook fruit is delicious."

Keli rubbed her belly, looking a little cute. Ruojin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Keli was okay. As for himself, Ruojin felt his body and didn't find anything abnormal.

Ruojin told Barbara what he had eaten at noon. When Barbara heard that Ruojin and Kelly had eaten what Bennett had eaten, she fell into deep thought. Now she ruled out food poisoning, so why did Bennett's stomach look like this?

"Jin boy, have the girl next to you use a ball of water element on that boy's mouth."

"I don't know what that kid ate. There's a ball of wind element in his stomach. It will be fine if it disperses."

Seeing that everyone didn't know what to do and didn't want to see Bennett, this strong young man, go to see Barbatos like this, after the Dragon King Ruotu sensed Bennett's symptoms, he directly told Ruojin the solution.

Although Ruo Jin felt that this method was a bit outrageous, out of trust in King Ruota, he still told Barbara what King Ruota said. Upon hearing this method, Barbara was a little hesitant. This was the first time she had heard of such a treatment method, and it was too strange.

"Barbara, if you don't do something, maybe our church will hold a funeral for him today."

"If you can't do it, I can use ice element instead."

The cold voice interrupted Barbara's thoughts. Hearing the familiar voice in her ear saying that she would do it for her, Barbara hurriedly stood in front of Bennett.

"Sister Rosalia, the ice element will freeze Bennett's throat! Also, why are you here, Sister Rosalia?"

"It doesn't matter why I'm here. What matters is that I think staying alive should be the priority over having a frostbitten throat."

Rosalia, who was lying on the hospital bed in the corner, saw the scene clearly. Seeing Bennett's belly getting bigger, the ice element in Rosalia's hand began to condense.

Seeing that Rosalia didn't seem to be joking, Barbara gritted her teeth, condensed a ball of water element and stuffed it into Bennett's mouth. Seeing Barbara take action, Rosalia dispersed the ice element in her hand out of boredom. It seemed that the fun was over. However, this Liyue man seemed a little dangerous. Hmm, maybe she needed to investigate this guy.

She glanced at Ruojin. Having grown up in a treasure-stealing group, Rosalia had a keen sense of danger. For some reason, she could always smell danger from Ruojin when she was observing him.
Sensing it carefully, Rosaria felt that this danger was no less than the danger she had smelled from Grand Commander Falga when she was young. She was sure that this Liyue man must be hiding a secret.

On the other side, under Barbara's nervous gaze, Bennett's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened and his face became puffed up. Realizing that Bennett might want to spit out something, Ruo Jin covered Kelly's eyes immediately.

Facts proved that Ruo Jin's intuition was indeed correct. A ball of wind element mixed with water element was spit out from the body of Bennett, the owner of the Fire Attribute God's Eye, and went straight to Rosalia who was slacking off in the corner.

Rosalia raised her eyebrows and threw a ball of ice element over. The three elements quickly intertwined together, and the various elements reacted with different colors. This suddenly gave Klee some new ideas. Maybe she could make a colorful bouncing bomb.

"Well, Miss Barbara, I may need treatment. I feel unwell all over."

The diffusion reaction plus the freezing reaction made Albert, who was pretending to be sick in the ward so as to be alone with Barbara, miserable. Now, although he didn't have any illness originally, now at least he can't escape frostbite.

"Yes, Mr. Albert, I will treat you right away."

Finding Albert in the center of three elemental reactions, Barbara hurriedly began to treat Albert. Ruo Jin narrowed her eyes. This girl named Rosalia didn't look like a nun at all. The location where the ice element exploded just now seemed like she did it on purpose.

"May the Wind God Basbatto fool you, this stranger from Liyue, are you interested in having a drink together tonight?"

Picking up the bottle of wine on the hospital bed and taking a sip, Rosalia invited Ruojin, because she saw that Klee was following Ruojin, which meant that Qin, the acting leader, recognized Ruojin, so she chose to treat Ruojin to a drink as a way to get to know him.

What the hell is Basbatos? Isn't it Barbatos? You are a nun who even remembered the name of God wrong. Ruo Jin was also a little interested in Rosalia, the maverick nun with dead fish eyes. After thinking about it, he nodded and accepted Rosalia's invitation because he had nothing to do in the evening.

"Well, Miss Barbara, Bennett's arm is also injured. Don't forget to treat Bennett."

Ruo Jin discovered that when Barbara was treating the frostbitten Albert, Rosalia held a knife in her hand and never took her eyes off Albert. Although she didn't know the reason, Ruo Jin still reminded Barbara to prevent Bennett's arm injury from getting worse.

"Hey, your arm is injured too? I'll help Bennett treat it right away."
