The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 8 Conversation in the Angel's Gift
In Angel's Gift, because the big boss Diluk ordered that the tavern would be closed tonight, the usually bustling tavern now seemed particularly deserted. Even the bartender Charles, who was almost always by the side, did not appear behind the bar today.

"It seems that we are back early. Would you like a glass of cider? This is the latest brew and it tastes pretty good."

After Diluk put away the Sky Harp, he asked everyone to sit down around the bar. He casually took out a bottle of cider and poured a glass for everyone. The clear cider turned a soft light yellow under the light, and the smell of ripe apples emanating from the glass showed the preciousness of this bottle of wine without a doubt.

"Diluk is so generous. If we sell this kind of fine wine in Liyue, we won't be able to get it without tens of thousands of Mora."

Ruojin drank the cider in the cup in one gulp. The taste and feeling of this cider was no worse than the good wine he had drunk in Liyue. Diluk poured Ruojin another glass nonchalantly, and also poured a glass of grape juice for Ying and Paimon.

"Master Diluk, why is it that he can drink alcohol if it is forbidden, but the Traveler and I can only drink grape juice?"

"Mond has a rule that minors are not allowed to drink alcohol. I see that you two are not old enough to drink yet. Grape juice is very suitable for you."

Diluk said in a calm tone the words that Paimon least wanted to hear, but because Diluk didn't look easy to mess with, Paimon could only compromise timidly.

"Eh? Is there such a rule? Okay..."

As he spoke, Diluk poured himself another glass of grape juice, completely ignoring the regret on Paimon's face. Wine is not a good thing for children.

Ying looked at the grape juice in the glass and then at the wine not far away. Ying, who hadn't tasted wine for a long time, really wanted to drink some. However, her words that she was an adult didn't seem convincing.

“Well, actually, I’m an adult.”

After hesitating for a while, Ying weakly said the fact that she was an adult. Although grape juice tasted good, she still wanted to try cider.

Ok?
Ying's words attracted the attention of Ruojin and Diluk. In their eyes, Ying's girlish appearance made it hard to tell that she was already an adult. Only Ruota in Ruojin's body noticed something wrong.

"Jin boy, why do I feel that this little girl named Ying seems to be much older than you, but her knowledge seems to be inconsistent with her age, which is really strange."

Ruota muttered something in Ruojin's mind. Could it be that there was something wrong with his perception again? That shouldn't be the case. There shouldn't be any mistakes at such a close distance.

"Actually, I am from another world. My brother and I..."

After getting a preliminary understanding of Ruojin and Diluk's personalities, Ying told them her story. After listening to Ying's story, Ruojin felt that the world seemed to have changed and became somewhat unrecognizable to him.

He used to think that visitors from another world were all made up by bards to trick children, but now he was told that it was all true. Ruo Jin found it a little hard to accept for a while. It was as if he had listened to a story and the protagonist of the story suddenly popped up one day.

"Well, this shouldn't be hard to accept, right? Rujin, why are you looking at me like that?"

"No, Ying, you and your brother really came from another world, and your brother was captured by a strange god?"

Facing Ruojin's disbelief, Ying nodded in confirmation. The part of memory she had lost was mainly about Teyvat five hundred years ago, but there was no problem with her previous memories of traveling to other worlds and her brother being captured by a strange god.
At the same time, Ying was also a little confused. Why was Ruo Jin so surprised? When Captain Qin and the other Mondstadt people knew that she was a traveler from another world, they didn't react so much. "In our Liyue, although there are some stories about visitors from another world, those stories are just rumors. I have never heard of anyone who has actually seen a visitor from another world."

"And if you hadn't told me you were from another world, I would have thought you were from Mond."

Ruo Jin looked at Ying's golden hair. In his impression, only people from Mondstadt had hair of this color. Diluk nodded in agreement.

"If I hadn't investigated this traveler before, I would have thought she was a Mondstadt person. However, Mondstadt is a free country, and some travelers from other worlds do like to stay here. We Mondstadt people are not too surprised by these foreign guests."

"Liyue, on the other hand, seems to be paying special attention to this kind of travelers from another world."

Diluk pointed out something to Ruojin, but Ruojin shrugged indifferently. Given the temperament of the immortals in Liyue, they would definitely take some measures to restrain or monitor these visitors from another world whose origins were unknown and whether they were harmful to Liyue.

Even if the immortals did not take any measures, the Seven Stars of Liyue would always keep an eye on those travelers from other worlds. Ruo Jin would not underestimate the power in the hands of the Seven Stars. If the Seven Stars wanted to investigate or monitor someone, they would be able to tell clearly if that person went to the toilet for one minute longer than usual.

"After hearing what Master Diluk said, I feel like Liyue is in danger."

Paimon secretly drank all the grape juice in Ying's cup, wiped his mouth and scratched his head timidly. Ying was not worried at all. After all, she was just going to look for her brother and she was not doing anything bad. Even though Liyue was not as free as Mondstadt, she did not think there was anything wrong with it.

“Even if it’s dangerous, I’m going to Liyue to look for clues about my brother. Maybe the Rock God will know something.”

"Well, okay, okay, then I have no choice but to go with you. Besides, now we know a Liyue person. If we go to Liyue, you should protect us, right?"

Paimeng diligently took out an apple from her small space and handed it to Ruojin. Ruojin took a bite of the apple, patted his chest and promised generously.

"Don't worry, Paimon. For the sake of this apple, if you encounter any problems in Liyue that you can't resolve, just mention my name. If you still can't resolve it, come to me and I will help you resolve it."

"Really? That's great! From now on, we'll be as close as apples to apples. Ruojin, you must take good care of us when the time comes."

Paimon, who was infected by Ruojin's words, chuckled. The not-so-smart little Paimon had already begun to imagine her walking sideways in Liyue. Ying glanced at Paimon who was lost in fantasy. The alone Ying cast a tentative look at Ruojin.

"If you're worried about causing trouble for him, then there's no need to worry."

"If Ruojin's power in Liyue is transferred to Mondstadt, his status would be equivalent to that of Jean's younger brother, and he would also have Lisa as his teacher. In addition, Kaeya has always wanted him to inherit the position of cavalry captain."

"Since he said so, congratulations, Traveler. Your journey in Liyue should be much smoother."

Diluk's words made Ying open her mouth in surprise. It was the first time that Ying felt that Paimon's emergency food had other uses besides eating. Perhaps she could increase Paimon's food allowance a little in the future?
While thinking about how much to increase Paimon's food allowance, Ying subconsciously picked up the cup and wanted to drink a sip of grape juice, but what she ate was only a ball of air. Seeing Paimon constantly rubbing her belly with his hands, Ying thought that raising the food allowance would have to wait until next life. Emergency food should be thinner to taste better.
