What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

"I'm not that thirsty, huh~~" Although she said that, Ying still came over, opened her mouth and took in the middle fingers of Zhong Ling's hands holding the water.

"You..." The water in her hand was not just clear water, but contained healing power.

She let Ying drink it in order to treat her internal injuries.

Unexpectedly, this guy would tease me even when drinking water.

Her fingertips felt the wet and warm touch of Ying's mouth, and what made her even more shy was that her fingers were being swept back and forth by a soft object.

"..." Zhong Ling slightly changed her gesture. In a place that Paimeng couldn't understand, Zhong Ling's middle finger and ring finger opened at the same time and lifted up Ying's mouth.

At the same time, water containing healing effects was directly poured down Ying's throat.

...

......

"Ugh...I feel like I don't need to drink any water all day." Ying touched her full stomach.

Although this water is indeed very comfortable to drink.

The internal organs that had been hit by the rock dragon lizard before could feel the pain. When the water flowed into the body, every time it passed through a place, that organ would be relieved from the pain.

but...

It was just a little teasing of my wife! Was it necessary to be forced into this state? !

C.35 Monsters are also living things

"Ying and little Paimeng, why did you two come to 'Nantianmen'?" This is not a good place.

Although Naga and Ruota had a fierce fight in the 'Rock Abyss'.

The two of them directly plowed the surface of the 'Stratified Abyss' and changed the topography of the 'Stratified Abyss'.

It can be said that the current 'Stratified Chasm' was completely different from the original 'Stratified Chasm' before the earthquake.

If the power of the earthquake had not been that strong, perhaps we could still see the sword mountain where Ruota defeated the Naga.

Although after thousands of years of weathering, Jianshan Mountain no longer has the majestic height that it once reached into the sky, it is still shocking.

Afterwards, Ruota and Morax fought all the way from the 'Layered Abyss' to the 'Southern Gate of Heaven'.

Originally, there was no 'Tianqiu Valley' on the land of Liyue. The deep valley hundreds of meters high was actually blasted out by the two of them.

"We received a commission from the Adventurers' Association. Catherine said that traces of a 'dragon' appeared near 'Tianqiu Valley' and 'Nantianmen'." Paimon explained quickly.

"Traces of 'dragons'?" Zhong Ling tilted her head slightly, then revealed a look of understanding. "Indeed, I saw quite a few young rock dragon lizards and rock dragon lizards on the way here."

"A lot?!" Ying's eyes widened. "Are there a lot of monsters of this level?"

According to statistics, there are only five or six Rockhelm Kings in the entire Liyue, and there are actually "quite a few" Rockdrakes whose strength is no less than that of Rockhelm Kings?

"After all, they are monsters. Monsters usually have elemental powers that are too vast for humans to reach." Zhong Ling said, spreading his hands. "Most monsters will not further develop the way they use their elemental powers like humans do."

This is a matter of course. The elemental power of monsters is much stronger than that of humans, especially those created by elements.

When humans release elemental power, they also have to consider how long their elemental power can last.

And monsters... who cares about this?

Even if she was a Naga in her early years, she wouldn't care about these things.

After all, it is possible to defeat a powerful opponent with force, and Naga does have this power.

This catastrophic level of attack is absolutely beyond the reach of human beings.

Even the followers of the devil are the same.

The demon's followers, except for a very small number of outliers like Tevarin who possess demon-level combat power, are generally at the immortal level.

But to the highest-level demons and elemental dragons, immortals are no different from mortals.

Xiao, who was almost killed on the spot after being hit by Naga's claw, should be very clear about this.

If there is a real difference, a mortal would definitely die if struck by one claw, while an immortal would probably be seriously injured and on the verge of death.

"I clearly feel the gap between humans and monsters." Ying sighed. "It's really unfair that such a strong monster can be mass-produced."

Even with her martial arts skills, when facing three rock dragon lizards, if she was not careful even for a moment, she would be besieged and killed, not to mention those mortals who had only lived for less than a hundred years.

"Isn't that unfair..." Zhong Ling smiled and shook her head. "Ying, you have to understand."

"It may take three to five hundred years for a monster to grow to the level of a lord like a Rock Dragon Lizard or a Hill Rock Helmet King. You have also seen many Hillmen, and none of them have been able to grow to the level of a Hill King."

"And the geniuses among humans, such as the people we all know, such as Jean, Diluk, and Keqing..."

"Each of them has the power to kill a rock dragon lizard by themselves, and their combined ages may not even be a fraction of the age of a rock dragon lizard."

"How can this be fair to the monsters?"

"Yeah... that's right." Ying nodded slightly. "Come to think of it, I've never thought about this before..."

In Ying's original world, there were actually monsters similar to monsters, monsters that possessed power that was absolutely invincible to mortals.

When she was first seen, she and her brother Kong were running for their lives, and they almost died at the hands of those monsters several times.

The time required for those monsters to be born is so short that they can spread throughout an entire city overnight.

Therefore, in Ying's opinion, monsters and the like grow faster than weeds.

But after hearing what Zhong Ling said, she suddenly realized that the monsters in Teyvat are "creatures", even those created by elements can be called creatures.

And the monster she had seen was not even alive.

"But, Ying, don't feel any guilt or sympathy." Zhong Ling stretched out her hands and grabbed Ying's hands, holding her hands together. "Just kill the monsters that attack you. They have lived long enough."

"Ah, this..." Hearing Zhong Ling's words, Ying's eyes were dead. "You said such terrible words with such a gentle voice and sweet smile, Linglong, your personality...ah? "

Ying originally wanted to say, "Wife, your character has collapsed!"

But if you think about it carefully...it seems that my wife is not a good person.

Although she did give people a gentle and virtuous feeling when we first met, and it was indeed the same when we interacted with each other on a daily basis.

But according to her peers, she has a very bad temper and is very aggressive.

She never missed anything related to the 'naughty child', including causing trouble, climbing up roofs and catching birds and chickens.

Now it is not a bear anymore, but it is obvious that it is evil, such as the down pillow, the fat rock dragon portrait, etc...

However, she is highly regarded among the younger generation, especially Ganyu, the [Seven-Star Secretary] who works at Yuehai Pavilion.

After all, Ganyu was raised by Naga.

"Well, Linglong's character is still intact."

Being gentle, virtuous, beautiful and dignified has become her habit, but at the innermost layer of her habit, she also has her own nature.

And now, she only slightly exposed her true nature.

But! This is a good thing for Ying.

How can a wife who follows the rules and treats you with respect be as lovely as a wife who has similar values ​​to you?

Moreover, this also means that your wife will show her most original self in front of you.

Showing your true self to your loved one is a sign of trust.

"Well, Linglong is so cute." Ying blurted out this rather abrupt sentence without any context.

"Ah? Why...why are you suddenly saying this?" Zhong Ling asked in surprise after hearing what Ying said.

"Nothing, I just think Linglong is cute." Ying waved her hand. "Paimon, what do you think?"

"Paimon doesn't want to comment on these!" Paimon, who suddenly had dog food in front of him, said he didn't want to eat it.

C.36 Folk Stories

"Okay, let's get down to business." Zhong Ling rolled her eyes at Ying.

I don't know when it started, but this guy can always make fun of me no matter what.

If it happens too many times, you will get used to it... although I'm not used to Ying's teasing yet.

“Since Ying and Paimon are here to investigate the matter of the Rock Dragon Lizard, let me tell you what I know.” From a certain perspective, Zhong Ling is the one who knows everything in the current Liyue land.

Morax has already given away the 'Heart of God' and has deliberately become a mortal.

Although Zhongli can break his seal and become Morax in an instant, when sealed, Zhongli is indeed a mortal... although he has many more special features than ordinary mortals.

For example, not afraid of cold or heat.

But in the final analysis, even Morax could not know everything that happened on the land of Liyue like [Geolord, one of the Seven Rulings of the World].

But she is different, she has not become a mortal, she is still the 'Essence of Water'.

Except for some powerful prohibitions and secret places, as long as Zhong Ling is willing to know other places, she will definitely be able to get feedback from "water".

However, Zhong Ling would not tell Ying everything she knew at once. After all, that would be too boring.

"Yeah." Ying was waiting for Zhong Ling's information seriously, just like a primary school student with his eyes wide open during class.

Of course, elementary school students would not use such ambiguous strength to rub the teacher's hand.

"According to documentary records." What Zhong Ling wanted to say was not from the perspective of a 'witness', but from the perspective of documents and other materials that could be found.

After all, it is impossible for mortals to be "witnesses" to this kind of history that spans more than a thousand years.

So, now Zhong Ling is just an archaeologist.

"About a thousand years ago, an event occurred that shocked all the immortals in Liyue. That was the destruction of Tianqiu Valley."

"At that time, [Emperor Rock] left Liyue for some important matter and headed elsewhere."

"According to the records, on the day when 'Tianqiu Valley' was destroyed, someone saw [Cangming Yuanjun] fighting with the dark and ominous creature in 'Chenyan Abyss'."

"Then [Rada Dragon King] also joined the battle. However, since that day, [Rada Dragon King] has never appeared in the world again."

"Later, someone compiled a book about this world based on this document."

"According to a folk tale, when the Emperor left, an evil god who once fought with the Emperor for the throne returned."

"Yuan Jun met the enemy in the 'layered rock abyss'. The battle between the two caused the stars to sink and the earth to shake, and the universe to turn upside down."

"However, the power of the evil god is several times greater than when he was defeated and fled in the past. Even [Yuan Jun] cannot defeat the evil god."

"Seeing that [Yuan Jun] was defeated, [Ruo Tuo Dragon King] came to help."

"The Dragon King fought with the evil god all the way to the South Gate of Heaven, and finally contained his evil flames."

"However, the evil god was cunning and used treacherous methods to secretly harm the Dragon King, causing him to be seriously injured."

"Knowing that the [Emperor] was entangled in something and could not return, and that he himself was already seriously injured, the [Dragon King] used all his strength to tear the earth into a chasm and trapped the evil god in it, and then suppressed it with his body."

"The sacred tree at the South Gate of Heaven today was transformed by the Dragon King."

"That's the end of the story."

This is not the entire story, but a condensed version by Zhong Ling, but the story has not changed much.

"Hiss..." After listening to Zhong Ling's story, Ying took a breath of cold air. "My queen, wonders can ruin a country."

"Ah?" Zhong Ling tilted her head, not understanding what Ying meant.

"I've discovered that there are wonders like this everywhere in Liyue." Ying counted the miracles of Liyue one by one, counting them out to Zhong Ling. "The 'Qingce Mountain' transformed by the Chi, the 'Guyun Pavilion' transformed by the Yanqiang, the 'Jiu Shi Jing Shi' that pacified the evil spirits, and the 'Hongming Sword Tomb' formed by the suppression of the 'Demon God of the Whirlpool' not long ago. Is there still a tree there?"

"Well... this is normal, right? The whole Mondstadt was blown up by Barbatos, and when we go to Inazuma, we will be able to see the power of the Thunder God."

Zhong Ling was referring to the 'Thinkless Blade', which was the mark left when Baalzebub slashed the 'Sea God' Orobas, the faith of 'Sea God Island', with one sword.

With just one move, an entire island was cut in half. This was because Baalzebul's power was extremely concentrated. If the power contained in this move was spread out, the entire island would be destroyed.

"...That's true." Ying shook her head. "Then...I remember my wife said that."

"As [Lord Rādhāra] fell into deep sleep, his followers also followed him into the earth."

"This group refers to the Rock Dragon Lizards, and now, the Rock Dragon Lizards have appeared again... Could it be that the [Ruota Dragon King] has awakened?"

"Isn't it because you scared him awake?" Ying smiled teasingly and tickled Zhong Ling's waist. "After all, you are notorious among your friends."

"That [Rādhāra Dragon King] might have sensed your presence, so he was frightened awake."

"Of course it's not me." Zhong Ling slapped Ying's hand away in anger. "I can't figure out why the Rock Dragon Lizard would appear at this time."
