Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

After listening, Zhongli smiled and chimed in, "From a generally rational perspective, cooking is indeed a troublesome thing."

As he spoke, he smiled and looked at Gu Jing: "My friend, you look joyful and walk with a light step. Is there something good to tell you about?"

Gu Jing smiled and nodded: "That's really great news for the two of you."

"Oh?"

They exchanged a glance, neither Wendy nor Zhongli able to guess what Gu Jing was saying.

On the contrary, Alicia and Hua immediately felt a vibration in the copy of the diary within their consciousness. As the pages that had been turning on their own stopped, a quest was displayed on one of the pages: [Rescue the Dragon King Ruotu...]

******

Under the Crouching Dragon Tree at the South Heavenly Gate—

Upon entering the secret realm through the spatial gate, Zhongli saw the colossal Ruotu Dragon King, as large as a mountain. He was filled with nostalgia, but before he could speak, a wisp of black smoke suddenly appeared, transforming into a little girl who blocked their path.

Looking at Zhongli, she let out a strange laugh with great excitement: "Morax, you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, which makes it easier for me to avenge the seal!"

Zhongli remained noncommittal: "I see. This little girl is a manifestation of your power. But Ruo Tuo Dragon King, this is not what we intended. Moreover, I have come here today to rescue you. So, could you give me some time?"

"No need to say more!"

Enraged, the Dragon King Ratna shattered the seal and roared, "Morax! Today, I will settle all old scores!"

(cfag) The enormous sound seemed to penetrate eardrums, not only creating a huge airwave but also causing a strong vibration.

Gu Jing calmly raised his palm, and a golden-green spherical barrier appeared just in time, blocking out all abnormalities.

Even when the Dragon King Ruotu immediately slapped down, the golden-green spherical barrier did not produce any ripples.

This rock-solid sense of security relieved Hua, who was still somewhat panicked. She adjusted her red-rimmed glasses and secretly glanced at Gu Jing.

She noticed that Gu Jing was also smiling at her, and blushed as she said "thank you," the shy girl flustered.

Watching the Dragon King Ruotu continuously strike the golden-green barrier, the highly skilled and daring Alicia couldn't hide her excitement.

She lightly brushed a strand of hair aside, and a pink crystal bow appeared in her hand: "So—are we going to defeat this Dragon King Ruotu next?"

Gu Jing, who was being stared at, smiled and nodded: "That is indeed a valid interpretation."

"Furthermore, as you can see."

"The Dragon King Ruoduo is also a friend of Old Zhong."

"He is currently somewhat delirious due to some special reasons."

"All we need to do is subdue Him."

"I will heal Him."

Upon hearing this, Alicia understood what he meant; all she needed to do was to think of this Dragon King Ruoduo as a mental patient.

But then Gu Jing looked at Zhong Li with a wicked grin: "After all these years without lifting a finger, your old bones shouldn't be rusty, right?"

"of course."

Zhongli, who was being stared at, smiled and nodded. With a wave of his hand, the uniquely shaped Piercing Rainbow Spear appeared in his hand.

Gu Jing's question clearly indicated that he wanted Zhong Li to be the main force, but Zhong Li had the same idea. After all, Ruo Tuo was his friend, and others would not be as discreet as he was. Thinking of this, he decisively launched a Heavenly Movement and started the team fight!

******

In less than twenty minutes—

After being intermittently hit by dozens of Heavenly Phenomena, and then struck by countless arrows from Wendy and Alicia, and then relentlessly attacked by Paimon, who seized every opportunity, the Dragon King Rota, unable to withstand the onslaught, finally collapsed.

The current Ruoduo is not the same as before. Having been sealed for so long, the power he possessed has been worn away to almost nothing.

This secret realm is full of traces of battle, but how to put it... Yingmei's Desolate Star and Zhongli's summoned rock pillar, Gu Jing looks at this thing as if it is Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon!

Looking at Hua beside him, the bespectacled girl who met his gaze couldn't help but lower her eyes: "Um... I'm sorry."

Being unable to help at all was secondary; the feeling of being a complete burden also hurt the girl's pride.

Seeing this, Gu Jing couldn't help but give her a gentle pat on the head: "There's no need to apologize to me, and you don't have to apologize to me. Usually when I hear someone apologize to me, I can't help but wonder if this guy took advantage of me?"

"But you are clearly not in that category."

"However... I do think you do need to master a sufficiently powerful force."

"Some things don't necessarily need to be used."

"But it's essential."

"And there's a saying that goes like this."

"You are caught off guard when you first encounter a disaster brought by fate."

"Therefore, they suffered a crushing defeat in the face of fate."

"But the second time..."

Gu Jing's dark eyes met her bewildered blue eyes through his glasses, and he gently pressed down on her thin shoulders.

He finished speaking to her with a meaningful smile:

"But the second time."

"You already wield the sword!"

******

Unfortunately, although the gray-haired girl seemed thoughtful after hearing this, she clearly couldn't grasp the deeper meaning of the words, which, frankly speaking, stemmed from her lack of life experience.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gu Jing approached the subdued Dragon King Ruoduo and used his Abundant Authority to heal the wear and tear caused by years of suffering.

Soon after, the Dragon King Ruoduo, whose eyes were bloodshot, regained his senses and, upon seeing the figures of the crowd, recalled the battle that had just taken place.

His eyes, wide as saucers, stared at Zhongli: "Mora...x? I remember...I remember everything!"

"The heavens move, all things manifest; mountains and seas take shape..."

"A star rises from the barren land, shining as brightly as the sun!"

Upon hearing this, and sensing the rationality in His words, everyone present smiled.

The rescue operation was a complete success, but it wasn't over yet. After perfectly rescuing Ruoduo, Gu Jing led everyone back to Liyue Harbor and then restored Guoba to its original state.

Now, Zhongli and Wendy, their eyes lighting up, immediately understood why Gu Jing had said earlier that this was a great thing for them!

But how can this immense kindness be repaid?

Chapter 145 Beware of the Collapse! Alicia's Double Death!

That evening, after having dinner back at Chengehu, Gu Jing arranged a relatively large room for the beautiful girls and older sisters from the pre-collapse civilization. The room had bunk beds and could accommodate 10 of them.

Before leaving, Gu Jing was teased by Alicia with a mischievous smile: "Wow~ you actually arranged so many beautiful girls in one room."

"Gu Jing probably won't launch a surprise attack in the middle of the night, right?"

As she said this, Alicia winked playfully, and the atmosphere in the room became somewhat subtle.

Standing at the door, Gu Jing responded with interest: "It depends. After all, I never hide my love for beautiful girls."

"It's like I specially gathered everyone into my world."

"Although everyone is indeed capable of changing the future course of the world."

"But why aren't there any boys?"

"This is enough to prove that I am a normal man."

"certainly--".

"I personally don't like being forced."

"As you can see."

"I have not only my beloved wives by my side."

"I also have friends."

Upon hearing this, and seeing Gu Jing's amused yet somewhat serious expression, Eden and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Gu Jing's implication was clear: unless both parties were mutually attracted, he would not make a move against them.

But how can I put it? He already has so many wonderful wives, yet he's still not satisfied and wants even more!

Even if such a scumbag is powerful and handsome, surely no one would be blind enough to fall for him?

But then Alicia looked at Gu Jing with shining eyes: "You might not believe it, but I also really love beautiful girls! This world is simply a dream paradise for me! We're totally kindred spirits!"

"So--"

With a drawn-out tone, Gu Jing smiled and said goodbye: "Get some rest."

"Ok!"

******

After watching Gu Jing's departing figure disappear around the corner of the corridor, Alicia, in a cheerful mood, closed the door.

Turning around, she met Mebius's scrutinizing gaze: "Tell me honestly, Alicia! You wouldn't happen to have a crush on him, would you?"

"Oh, this question is so embarrassing!"

“My dear Dr. Möbius”

I refuse to answer.

"And compared to my personal matters."

"We seem to still know each other's names, don't we?"

"How about we introduce ourselves together?"

Smiling, Alicia changed the subject and, demonstrating her excellent organizational skills, began by introducing herself, starting with her own identity.

Before long, everyone present knew each other's names and identities; no one was unfamiliar with the world-famous superstar Eden.

Alicia, who comes from the Fire Moth, and Mebius, who also comes from the Fire Moth, are a combatant and an authority in the field of biology.

Upon hearing the name "Moth of Fire," Velvet's eyes sparkled. She claimed to be a magician who traveled the world performing magic tricks.
