The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 56: Lively at Home

"We are back~"

"Ying, Paimon, you're back. How was your day? Has Tevarin gone home?"

Paimon's voice rang out in the living room. Ruojin, who was sitting at the table, put down the information sent by Ke's family, stretched lazily, and then asked about Tevarin's condition slowly. Hearing Ruojin's question, Paimon waved his hand with a frustrated look on his face.

"Hey, don't mention it. We have been waiting at the ruins of the wind dragon for a whole day. Tevarin has been wandering around the ruins of the flying dragon and just won't come down."

"That street singer was the same. He said that playing a song would attract Tevarin, but Tevarin sprayed a breath of wind element at us, and all the windmill chrysanthemums I just picked were blown to pieces! That can be sold for a lot of Mora."

"Haha, it looks like Paimon's Mora Bag didn't yield much today."

Ruo Jin had heard Ying talk about Paimeng's money-grubber behavior many times. Ying had even mentioned his heroic deeds of having a half-hour war of words with vendors on the street for a few Moras (with Ying's support) repeatedly at the dinner table. Little Paimeng, who had wasted a whole day and gained nothing, was probably going to be depressed all night.

"Hehe, if you guessed wrong, we did get quite a lot today. There are many treasure chests in the Wind Dragon Ruins, and Captain Qin and Master Diluk helped us kill many monsters."

"They worked hard but didn't ask for the treasure chest. The singing man didn't help but took away half of the Mora in the treasure chest. It pissed me off."

When talking about today's income, Paimon was showing off at first, but when she mentioned Wendy, her smile disappeared immediately. At that time, Wendy asked for half of it with confidence. If she could beat Wendy, she, Paimon, would let Wendy know that she, Paimon, was not someone to be trifled with.

Paimon picked up the dessert that Xiangling had made with Cecilia flowers on the table and took a big bite, as if the dessert was Wendy. While chewing the dessert, she found a comfortable position and threw herself directly onto the sofa.

The soft sofa supported Paimeng's body, and the snacks made by Xiangling tasted sweet in his mouth. This wonderful feeling made Paimeng feel that all the fatigue of the whole day had dissipated.

Seeing that the sofa was getting more and more dented day by day, Ying seriously suspected that Paimon was secretly eating delicious food behind her back. If he continued to gain weight at this rate, Paimon would sooner or later become a little fat boy. Should she control Paimon's diet?

But Ying couldn't think of any good way to help Paimeng lose weight. She knew how delicious Xiangling's food was. Even she, who always paid attention to her body management, would eat more every time. What's more, Paimeng was a guy who could be seduced away with just some delicious food.

"Ying, I always feel like you're thinking about something bad."

"I am not, I am not, don't talk nonsense."

Ying denied it directly. She would never admit to such a thing, otherwise the emergency food would be in trouble again. Seeing Ying's serious look, Paimeng scratched his head. Could it be that the chill just now was because he didn't eat a few bites of food at lunch today? Well, it seems he has to make up for it in the evening.

Speaking of food, why can't I smell the smell of food today? Paimon flew up from the sofa and glanced at the kitchen. Seeing that the kitchen was empty, Paimon felt a little strange. This time was exactly the time when Xiangling usually cooked. Why was Xiangling not in the kitchen?

"Paimon, you won't be able to enjoy Xiangling's cooking tonight."

After putting away the information on the table, Ruo Jin saw Paimon flying around the living room looking for Xiangling. He suddenly wanted to tease Paimon. When he heard Ruo Jin say that he would not be able to eat the food cooked by Xiangling in the evening, a look of loss appeared on Paimon's face.

"Has Xiangling returned to Liyue? That's such a pity. Ying can only cook a few dishes. She will definitely get tired of them after a few days."

"Ruojin, once we have dealt with Tevarin, you should take us to Liyue immediately."

Paimon's complaints made Ying's fair face slightly red, but when she saw Paimon's plump body, Ying was furious. Why can she only cook those few dishes? Others don't understand, but Paimon doesn't understand it either. If it wasn't for earning money to support her, wouldn't she have the time to learn how to cook?
And what do you mean she can only cook those few dishes? When she traveled in other worlds, she was considered a chef, not to mention the dishes made by her cooking master, Big Sister Kaslana.

Her homemade braised Originium worms and fried sea urchin legs alone are the pinnacle of the culinary world. If these raw materials were available in Teyvat, with her cooking skills alone, opening a restaurant and making a fortune would be the minimum standard.

"Brother Jin, I think I heard Paimon's voice. Is Ying back?"

At the stairs, Xiangling poked her head out to look down, and when she found that Ying had returned, she took Klee's hand and ran downstairs. When Paimon heard Xiangling's voice, they looked at Ruojin with wide eyes, as if asking, "Didn't Xiangling return to Liyue?"

"I never said Xiangling returned to Liyue. I just said that you won't be able to enjoy Xiangling's cooking tonight."

Ruojin shrugged with a smile. Teasing Paimon was really a wonderful thing, especially seeing Paimon stomping his feet in the air in anger but no one could do anything about him, it made people want to bully him.

"Paimon, Eula is treating us tonight, and Jin plans to take us with him, so it's a good opportunity to introduce you to Eula."

Seeing that Ruojin was teasing Paimeng again, Xiangling suppressed her laughter and explained. Only then did Paimeng understand what Ruojin meant and that he was teasing her again.

"If I ban you, you'll get a flying kick from Paimon!"

"Paimon's flying kick, what a powerful stunt, look at my apple attack!"

"Brother Ruojin, Paimon and Klee want to play too. Look at Klee's bouncing mushrooms!"

Seeing Ruojin and Paimon playing, Klee took out a mushroom from her schoolbag and joined Ruojin and Paimon's "battle". For a moment, the whole living room became lively.

At her age, Klee is very lively and active. Other people might think it childish to play with Klee, but Paimon is just right. Of course, to ensure safety, Ruojin put a thin shield on both Paimon and Klee.

Taking the mushroom off his head, Ying held his forehead and sighed. He would have to clean it up later. The same goes for Ruojin. He had to find a suitable place to play with Klee and Paimon. There were so many tables, chairs and benches in the living room. It would be bad if they bumped into anything.

"Ying, don't worry about them. Come with me. I have some clothes for you to try and see if you can wear them. If you can, I'll give them to you. Keli, be careful not to fall."

Xiangling was obviously used to the "liveliness" at home. After giving some instructions to Keli, she took Ying and prepared to go upstairs to try on clothes.

"Don't worry, Sister Xiangling. Oh, you damn little Paimeng, you actually attacked me by surprise."

"Brother Jin, don't just watch the fun, pay attention to Paimon and Klee."

After provoking the "fight" between Paimon and Klee, Ruojin retreated and hid aside to watch the show. Xiangling was worried and gave Ruojin another instruction before pulling Ying upstairs.

(Happy Lantern Festival everyone, remember to eat Yuanxiao~)
