The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

This is meat he roasted over a low flame until it was slightly rotten—purely natural and pollution-free. Freshly roasted and shaped, it tastes absolutely delicious!

Then he saw everyone shake their heads in unison.

"What...what kind of meat is this?" Xiangling was bolder than the others. She picked up the sapling she had just thrown away and poked at the meaty lump in the pot whose origin was unknown.

The lump of meat looked normal, its color and smell were normal. But when Xiangling thought about the bizarre scenes she had just witnessed, she couldn't help but steal a glance at Yu Jin.

What a strange guy! I must never mess with him again! Xiangling warned herself in her heart.

"What kind of meat? You can have whatever kind of meat you want!" Yu Jin looked at his "masterpiece" with great joy.

Because the presentation of this dish was just too good, the best I've ever made!

Moreover, what Ember said was true; the First Flame divided everything, and this lump of flesh could indeed be transformed into anything—provided it wasn't cooked.

"How about it? Want to try some?" Yu Jin asked impatiently, watching Xiang Ling keep poking at it.

"Uh..." Xiangling looked at the shallow cut she had made on the meatball, and the texture inside was not the texture of any kind of meat she remembered.

Recalling the noise Yu Jin made while "cooking," Xiang Ling shuddered and shook her head, saying, "Thank you... thank you for your kindness, but I'll pass."

Now Xiangling finally understands why everyone avoids her new dish like the plague.

"Sigh, alright." Yu Jin sighed and lowered his head, and then everyone felt a blur before their eyes.

When they came to their senses, the big pot and the meatballs had all vanished.

"Wow...that's amazing!" Xiangling covered her mouth in surprise when she saw Yu Jin's move.

If I had that ability, I could cook anytime, anywhere.

“Of course, Mr. Ember is a renowned adventurer in Mondstadt!” Duraf said proudly after hearing Xiangling’s words.

"Dad, we're getting off topic. What about the forest?" Diona reminded him as soon as she saw Duraf trying to explain Ember's deeds to Xiangling.

"Oh? Right, right, right!" Dulaf realized, almost forgetting the important matter. He cleared his throat and asked Xiangling:

"Xiangling, you said you're willing to promote meat in Qingquan Town to make up for your mistake of burning down the forest?"

"I'm willing," Xiangling nodded and said.

"You won't put in any weird or strange things?" Dulaf asked Xiangling, as if to confirm.

"No... I won't!" Xiangling hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

"Good, good! Next, we should discuss with the wolves how to draw the boundaries, right?" Yu Jin clapped his hands.

It would be wonderful if everyone could take responsibility for their mistakes like Xiangling.

"Distance from wolves?" Xiangling was immediately filled with questions after hearing Yu Jin's words.

Do we really need to draw a line between humans and wolves?

Seeing Xiangling's state, Yu Jin repeated what Dulav had said.

"Wow! It's that serious? I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" Upon hearing how serious the matter was, Xiangling immediately felt guilty and apologized again.

I never imagined that a single fire caused by Guoba would lead to such a huge problem.

"Alright, it's nothing. This isn't our main hunting ground, and the person was just frightened. The loss is acceptable," Dulaf said, waving his hand dismissively.

The actual loss wasn't as minor as he claimed. However, considering Xiangling's proactive approach in taking responsibility for her mistake and the fact that she's just a young girl, this matter can be let go.

"By the way, what's with this little guy behind you?" Yu Jin looked at Guoba, who was bowing and apologizing along with Xiang Ling, and found it quite amusing.

He hadn't expected the demon to be so adorable after the demon's power dissipated; it was somewhat beyond his expectations. Diona, standing next to him, had her eyes shining.

"It?" Xiangling ran up from the ground, rubbed her cheek against Guoba, and said, "It's Guoba, my good friend!"

After hearing Xiangling's words, Guoba touched Xiangling's face with its hand. To it, Xiangling was also a good friend.

This is not just due to Xiangling's personality. Much of it is due to her dedication to food.

Perhaps only Xiangling, who harbors the idea of ​​making delicious food that more people can enjoy, could have Maxius, the god of the hearth, follow her around.

Even if there are many things it can't remember.

"Guoba? Is it a raccoon?" Diona couldn't contain herself any longer when she saw Guoba. Her tail wagged wildly, showing her excitement.

"I don't know, Guoba is Guoba. Say hello! Guoba!" Xiangling knew what Diona was thinking just by looking at her.

Xiangling put Guoba down, and then Guoba smiled and waved to Diona.

"Hello, Guoba, I'm Diona!" Diona smiled broadly as she looked at Guoba waving at her.

What an adorable little guy! Just as cute as the kittens at the Cat Tail Tavern!

"Ha ha!"

"Hey, your mouth is stretched all the way to your ears."

Yu Jin looked at Dulav, who was also laughing, and gave him a reminder.

"Don't worry about it, Mr. Ember. It's rare to see Diona so happy."

"Isn't it because you drink every day?"

"Hey, you can't say that. Diona is also studying bartending, which means she approves of my hobby."

……

After a period of rest, the group finally set off again. After all, they were facing wolves, and although they knew that wolves were more intelligent than ordinary wolves, it was always better to be cautious.

Despite the trees in front of him being burned, Dulaf, as the hunter leader of Springvale, easily discerned the direction from here.

Soon, led by Dulaf, a patch of green appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Everyone, stop!" Dulaf stopped advancing. This was definitely wolf territory, and it wouldn't be good if they were misunderstood.

He took out a stack of herbs from the leather pouch at his waist, lit them, and a peculiar aroma wafted out and drifted into the dense forest.

"This is a scent that wolves like, but it shouldn't be found in the jungle. If they smell it, they'll know someone is coming."

Dulaf explained to the people behind him.

Sure enough, not long after the herbs had started burning, incessant wolf howls echoed through the dense forest.

Then the dense bushes in front of them began to sway. Dozens of green beams pierced through the bushes—the eyes of wolves hidden in the shadows.

"Phew—if I weren't forced to, I really wouldn't want to face these wolves." Dulaf took a few deep breaths. Even with his extensive experience, I couldn't help but feel nervous surrounded by the wolves.

"Mr. Ember, are you ready?" Dulaf asked Ember, turning to look at the pack of wolves emerging from the bushes.

"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" Yu Jin patted his breastplate, looking very confident.

Then, Ember strode forward and walked over with an arrogant expression.

Wolves? If it were Dog Embers, he'd probably tremble in fear, but wolves? They'd definitely be in for a world of hurt!

"Is this alright?" Xiangling looked at Yu Jin's retreating figure and ran to Du Lafu's side to whisper.

These wolves are indeed different from wild beasts; their bright, intelligent eyes clearly indicate that they are discussing something.

"Ouch——"

Ember let out a wolf howl. Ying said it was a ghostly howl, but he didn't believe it; whether it was a wolf howl or not, they'd have to let the wolf hear it to tell.

"Well……"

Upon hearing the eerie howl of the embers, the wolves in the pack exchanged bewildered glances and began to whisper among themselves.

Is this person out of their mind?

What did he say?

Is he speaking?

……

A series of wolf howls, incomprehensible to humans, echoed through the pack. However, after much discussion, they still couldn't figure out what Ember was doing.

"Where's Razer? He looks a lot like a human. Go find him." A somewhat aged-looking white wolf growled softly, and then the pack fell silent.

"Here he comes!" A wolf howl that sounded unusual came, and then a boy appeared in front of Ember.

Chapter 225 The Boy Raised by Wolves

2023-10-11

Yu Jin looked at the boy in front of him and stroked his chin.

His short, messy, gray hair, wild red eyes, and scars were everywhere. Though he was human, his wildness was no less than that of any wolf behind him.

“I know! You’re a caveman!” Ember exclaimed, pointing at Raize.

Then he started looking around at Razer. How rare! He never imagined Mondstadt would have cavemen!

"..."

"..."

"..."

“I am Razer,” Razer said haltingly, looking at Ember who was circling around him.

"Hello, primitive man Razer, I am modern man Ember." Ember grasped Razer's scarred hand and shook it vigorously.

Xiangling, who was not far away, saw Yu Jin warmly shaking hands with Lei Ze and suddenly felt that the scene looked familiar.

Isn't this exactly the scene from when she first met Yu Jin? Xiang Ling realized, so Yu Jin treats every stranger like this?

“Primitive man, no. I am, wolf…” Razer paused for a moment, recalling the fiery red figure and his master who had always taught him so diligently, and then said, “Also, human.”

“I didn’t expect the legend to be true.”

"I told you so, but you didn't believe me."

"I never imagined that the wolves of Benlang Territory were so intelligent?"

……

Seeing Razer stammering as he spoke to Ember, the hunters behind Dulaf began to whisper among themselves.

They looked at Razer with surprise or curiosity, wanting to see what was different about this legendary "wolf child".

A legend has long circulated in Qingquan Town that deep within Benlang Territory, there lives a child raised by wolves.
