The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 48 Ying's Tired Day

As night fell, affected by the dragon plague, most shops in Mondstadt closed early. On such an uncertain night, no one would joke with their own life, and staying at home was undoubtedly the safer choice.

It was also for this reason that Rosalia, who walked in the dark night, simply gave herself a holiday and spent the whole night in the Cat's Tail Tavern studying a new card game with Diona. After obtaining Ruojin's consent, Diona also added Ruojin to the cards.

"We are back~"

Click, the door was opened gently, and Ying walked in with Paimeng. They were already familiar with each other, so Ying and Paimeng did not exchange pleasantries and just sat down on the sofa.

Wearing new clothes, Klee had already washed her hands and sat on a stool to prepare for dinner. Seeing that Paimon's white clothes had turned gray, Klee, who wanted to go out and play with Paimon, asked curiously.

"Sister Traveler, why did you play hide-and-seek with Paimon today? Why is Paimon so dirty?"

"Little Keri, it's a good thing you didn't go out with us today. I don't know why, but there are suddenly more Fatui in Mondstadt recently. The key is that those Fatui seem to be very familiar with Mondstadt. We went out to do a commission and ended up encountering several Fatui hiding in the dark and attacking us."

"One of the bad guys holding a musket didn't have time to input the elements, so he threw the musket out. I was hit to the ground without paying attention. I was so angry!"

Paimon took her chopsticks and poked the rice in front of her fiercely to vent her dissatisfaction, as if she was treating the rice in front of her as the bad guy who attacked her today and wanted to poke it to death with chopsticks.

Ying smiled slightly at the side. When Paimon was not hit by the fire element shot out by the musket but was hit by the thrown musket instead, not only was she stunned, but even the Fatui at the side were obviously stunned. They didn't expect Paimon to be so stupid.

"It seems that your commission today is a bit difficult. Little Paimon, you didn't even go to the kitchen to steal food."

Ruojin came out of the kitchen carrying a large plate of boiled fish. Seeing Paimon sitting obediently on the stool and not flying into the kitchen to steal food as usual, Ruojin couldn't help but teasing Paimon.

"Ying, you're not hurt, are you?"

"I'm not injured, but I'm just too tired today. I don't know what those Fatui are planning recently. I saw a lot of Fatui transporting something along the way."

"But because there were so many of them, I couldn't get close to observe."

Ying hammered her somewhat stiff arm. She had to hold her weapon and stay alert all the time along the way. This 'beautiful 18-year-old girl' was almost exhausted.

She also felt that it was time to change her weapons. Not to mention giving her all the elemental weapons of the Fatui, at least a sharper sword would be nice. It was difficult to chop down the Hilichurls with a blunt sword, and it was even a question whether she could injure Tevarin tomorrow.

"The Fatui? I seemed to have heard recently when I was chatting with the nuns that the Fatui had some legal right to recruit soldiers in Mondstadt. Could this be the reason?"

Ruo Jin pondered for a moment and realized that there were indeed fewer Fatui in Mondstadt recently. During the day, Rosalia even complained to him that if the Fatui could maintain this state, her workload would be reduced by more than half.

"I don't know about that, but the most important thing now is to deal with Tevarin." "We need to rest early today. Tomorrow will be another tiring day. Come, Klee, have some fish."

Ying, who had gradually adapted to the life of an adventurer, picked up a piece of boneless fish with chopsticks and put it into Klee's bowl. After receiving a sweet thank you from Klee, Ying felt that a lot of fatigue in her body had disappeared.

As expected, little loli and the like can make people relax the most, well, except for emergency food. Looking at Paimon who was eating hard, Ying added silently in her heart.

Ruo Jin touched his chin. When he was drinking with Rosalia these past two days, Rosalia shared some information with him. Regarding the news about the Fatui, except that the eighth executive officer of the Fatui arrived in Mondstadt, there seemed to be nothing else worthy of attention.

"Keli, as agreed, Sister Xiangling will play with you tomorrow. Your Honor Knight sister and I have important things to do. If everything goes well, I'll be able to take you out shopping when we get back in the evening."

"Okay, Sister Xiangling said she will teach Klee how to make delicious grilled fish tomorrow."

After thinking for a while but still unable to figure it out, Ruojin simply stopped thinking about it. He rubbed Klee's little head and gave her a few instructions. Klee nodded obediently. After eating the meals made by Xiangling for so many days, Klee really wanted to learn from Xiangling how to make better grilled fish. It would be even better if she could learn how to make crab dishes without shells.

"Little Keri, do you want to learn how to grill fish? No problem. I'll teach you tomorrow. I promise it will be delicious."

Xiangling came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of golden shrimp balls. This was the Liyue specialty that she promised Paimeng in the morning. However, Paimeng's state was a little strange. It was obviously the meal time that excited her the most, but Paimeng squinted his eyes and put his chopsticks against her little fat face. She didn't know what he was thinking.

Xiangling leaned over to observe Paimeng, but she lightly touched the chopsticks in Paimeng's hand. With a thud, Paimeng fell directly into the bowl of rice in front of her.

"Hey, hey, Paimon, don't scare me."

Seeing Paimeng fall down like this, Xiangling hurriedly picked up Paimeng. Before Ruo Jin had time to go forward to check, he heard a snoring sound coming from Xiangling's arms.

"Hmm? Ying, why is this bed so hard? Did you change the mattress?"

Paimon muttered to himself in a daze in his sleep. It was these casual words that made Xiangling's face almost red. Her arms were hard? You have never been hugged by Hu Tao. Hu Tao's arms are hard. She obviously has soft places. She had specially compared them when she took a bath with Hu Tao before.

"Ahem, Xiangling, Paimeng is confused from sleep, don't bother with her."

Seeing Xiangling's restlessness, Ying, as the best companion of emergency food, also gritted her teeth and comforted Xiangling in order to prevent tomorrow's breakfast from being fried, stir-fried, deep-fried or stewed emergency food.

"Brother Ruojin, Sister Xiangling, Sister Traveler, Keli is full and is going to sleep first. I really hope tomorrow will come soon."

Without noticing that the atmosphere was wrong, Klee walked briskly up the stairs and returned to her room. Brother Kaiya had told her that if she wanted tomorrow to come sooner, she should go to bed early, so that when she got up next time, it would be tomorrow.
