Chapter 738 Zhongli (11)
"——Morax!"
A small yellow and black ball, like a swift stone, rushed straight into Zhongli's chest.
Zhongli was stunned for a moment and stopped at the door of his residence in disbelief.
"Ruota...?"
The Rādhāra Dragon King shrunk to the size of a palm, spun in the air, and landed steadily in Zhongli's outstretched palm.
"Hello again, Morax."
The voice of the Dragon King Rudra was as mature as before, and it seemed that there was no other change except that his body size had shrunk.
Zhongli wanted to ask why, but before he could say anything, he figured it out.
"This is the surprise..." she said.
A faint smile appeared on Zhongli's face.
"Long time no see, Ruota."
"——Welcome back."

Wangshu Inn.
"My dear, your pickled pork with preserved vegetables is here. Please enjoy it."
"Thank you."
"Vegetarian abalone, stir-fried shrimp, pickled pork with preserved vegetables, almond tofu." Xiao Ai rested her chin on the table with both hands, her short legs swinging under the table, "Today's meal is very vegetarian."
"If you want something spicy, you can go find Xiangling."
Yun Ci picked up the soup spoon and scooped a bowl of pickled pork with preserved vegetables for herself, then raised her eyes to look at Xiao Ai: "Do you want to eat it?"
"……eat!"
Eat first and then talk.
but--
"I thought my sister would rest in Liyue Harbor for a few days before leaving."
"I'm curious about Nata's plants."
Xiao Ai slurped up a mouthful of hot soup and jokingly said, "Don't you know how to accept other people's gratitude?"
Yun Ci didn't even raise her eyelids: "What don't I know? When someone says 'thank you', I just say 'you're welcome'. How simple is that."
Xiao Ai hummed twice meaningfully and continued eating without saying anything else.
Their next stop is Nata. After some teasing, Xiao Ai begins to look forward to going to Nata to touch the dragon.
But before the two of them set off, an unexpected figure appeared in the direction they were heading.
"Zhongli?"
The man stood at the edge of the road with his hands behind his back: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Don't we want to travel together?"
A fat little dragon squatted on his shoulder, raised its left front paw and waved at Yun Ci: "Benefactor, we meet again."
Xiao Ai smiled and glanced at Yun Ci, then trotted over to Zhong Li's legs: "Brother Zhong Li, let me hug Xiao Long too."
"You little kid, I am much older than you. If I have to call you, I should call the big dragon."
Xiao Ai touched Xiao Ruo Tuo's head and said, "You are not older than me."
"Hmm?" Ruo Tuo shook his head, looked at Yun Ci and understood, "It is possible."
That’s all.
Just let Xiaolong be Xiaolong.
the other side.
Yunci and Zhongli stood face to face.
Zhongli noticed Yunci's slight embarrassment and said considerately, "Are you not leaving?"
"Let's go." Yun Ci walked side by side with Zhong Li, "Let's go."
But before she took half a step, Yun Ci suddenly remembered something.
"I sensed that there is a young man guarding Wangshu Inn." Yun Ci smiled and said, "I wonder if I can meet him?"
"You mean, Xiao?"
"This is my second gift to Mr. Zhongli."
Zhongli understood.
"This is for you..."
Yun Ci spread her hands and pointed at Ruo Tuo Dragon King: "Just look at it and you will know that it has no effect on me."
Zhongli then called back Xiao who had just left not long ago.
This place is not far from Wangshu Inn, so Xiao appeared very quickly.
Xiao glanced at Yun Ci and just nodded slightly at Zhongli as a greeting.
"What's next?"
"It's very simple." Yun Ci stood in front of Xiao and said with a smile, "Please don't move."
Yun Ci's movements were swift and light. Xiao only felt a light tap on his forehead for an instant, and then his whole body felt relaxed.
Zhongli could see that the moment the green light entered Xiao’s forehead, the karma that was entangled in his body was purified.
"This is..." Xiao looked at his hands, "Karma..."
"Don't worry, I just purified your karma. It didn't affect your strength."
She is a professional when it comes to purification.
It's just a pity that when she arrived, the other Yakshas had already...
"Thank you, sir."
"You thanked me too early. I just purified the karma you accumulated in the past, but these...will reappear as you exorcise demons in the future." Yun Ci looked at Zhongli and said, "This is it for now. Before a complete solution is found, I will come to Wangshu Inn every once in a while. If you need to clear your karma, you can show up."
In case Xiao didn't want to trouble others, Yun Ci added: "Your Emperor has already paid you."
Xiao looked at Zhongli, and Zhongli nodded in agreement.
Xiao then said, "Yes."
"Okay, I've finished what I needed to do." Yun Ci looked at Zhong Li, "Do you have anything to say?"
Zhongli looked at Xiao and simply said, "Go ahead."
"Yes."
Xiao's figure disappeared instantly.
Now that they have done what they need to do, it's time for them to set off.
With the addition of the Rādhaka Dragon King on this trip, the excitement doubled compared to when there were only three of them.
He originally wanted to chat more with his old friend Zhongli, but after a few days he became fixated on Xiaoai's head, chattering with her about the plants around them.
Although the topic is a bit meaningless, they are happy.
"what is this?"
“Dried seaweed.”
"what about this?"
“Bean sprouts.”
"this--"
"Potato flour."
"I know this, Jueyun Pepper!"
"so smart."
Being praised, Ruota raised his little head proudly, and gave a blank look to Zhongli who was unable to help.
Zhongli sat aside drinking tea and didn't even look at him.
"If we go further, we will reach the territory of Xumi."
"Yes, we took a boat last time, and this time we finally got to experience the feeling of going over the mountains."
Yun Ci also didn't understand why Xiao Ai liked this.
If this happened in the world she lived in before, it could be considered as "smuggling".
But fortunately, not there.
Yunci picked up a piece of almost-cooked beef and fed it to Ruo Tuo's mouth: "Try it and see how it tastes."
Ruo Ta swallowed the beef in one gulp: "Delicious!"
Ok?
Why did he feel like someone was staring at him dangerously from behind?
Ruota shook his body and turned around to meet Zhongli's meaningful gaze.
"Ruota, if you think carefully, you and I are almost the same age, why do you look like a child now?"
When Ruo Tuo heard this, he realized that his old friend, who had become a little... weird since they started traveling together, had started acting weird again.
If you want to pick a fight on purpose, he can accompany you for a while, but it's tiring to keep talking like this every day.
Ruota is a bit lazy.
Therefore, he just glanced at Zhongli and said perfunctorily: "Really? Really?"
Then he turned around and stared at the rice that was about to come out of the pot.
He has never eaten this noodle dish called "spicy and spicy".
Zhongli: "..."
