What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

C.40 I am your wife

"The reward for defeating the Rock Dragon Lizard is really high." Ying held a check written by Catherine to her.

This is the reward for this commission. Although Ying did not really find out anything, he did kill four rock dragon lizards at that.

Although three of them were slaughtered by their own wives, but the wife and the husband are one body, so it is okay to round it off and say that they were slaughtered by themselves.

The price of a rock dragon lizard is 300,000 Mora, and the total price of four of them is 1.2 million. Ying suddenly feels like he has made a fortune.

But after thinking about it, the price of a rock dragon lizard is not even as expensive as a talisman that my wife owns...suddenly I feel that the rock dragon lizard is a bit cheap?

"Alas... If my fiancée is too strong, I always feel a little..." Ying looked at the check in her hand and sighed deeply.

Excluding the three rock dragon lizards killed by Zhong Ling, Ying killed one himself.

And he almost lost his life.

"Traveler doesn't want to travel with Linglong anymore?" Paimon looked at Ying in shock.

"Paimon, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ying asked, tilting her head. "My stomach isn't feeling well, you know."

"Traveler..." Paimon was quite curious. Why could a person be so despicable?

Just as Ying and Paimon were about to leave, Catherine, who had just handed them the check and said goodbye, left her "territory" and ran over.

"Traveler, please wait a moment!" Catherine quickly came to Ying.

"Miss Catherine? What happened?" Ying looked at Catherine in confusion.

"Towards the stars... No, it's this kind of traveler." Catherine said her catchphrase subconsciously, but she immediately reacted. "Catherine from Mondstadt just sent me a message. I have something to tell you."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Ying had known Catherine for such a long time, but this was the first time she saw Catherine leave her own 'territory' and come to find her. Could something big have happened?

"That's right." Catherine resumed her usual standing position, folding her hands on her belly. "You posted a missing person notice in both Mondstadt and Liyue, and the missing person notice described a boy with 'blonde hair, wearing exotic clothes, very conspicuous', right?"

"Ah?" Ying was stunned for a moment. "Ah! Yes, that's my brother, what's wrong?"

After Ying asked this question, her eyes widened.

Thinking of what Catherine just said...

Could it be that Sora was discovered when he appeared in Mondstadt, so Catherine in Mondstadt has sent the message? !

"It's like this. Catherine from Mondstadt just reported that she saw a blond man in Mondstadt wearing exotic clothes. He was very conspicuous."

"!!!" Ying didn't know what expression or action to make for a moment. "Okay... I get it. Thank you, Catherine."

"You are too polite, traveler." Catherine bowed respectfully. "I have delivered the message. I will return to my post first."

"Okay, okay." Ying nodded quickly and watched Catherine go back.

----

"What?!" Zhong Ling looked at Ying in front of her with wide eyes. "Ying, you said...you found your brother?"

"Catherine from Mondstadt sent a message saying that she saw a man who matched my description... I'm not sure if it's him, but..."

"Then let's rush over there." Zhong Ling said without hesitation.

"Yeah!" Ying nodded vigorously, but then a look of worry appeared in her eyes.

She suddenly remembered something.

She and Kong both came from outside this world. If she found Kong, she might have to leave this world and go to the next one.

If she leaves...

"Shh." Just when Ying didn't know what to do, she suddenly saw Zhong Ling's finger touching her lips, making a soft shushing sound.

"..." Ying seemed to know what Zhong Ling meant. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

Looking at Ying's appearance, Zhong Ling reached into her sleeve and took out a piece of paper.

"Liyue is a country of contracts." Zhong Ling looked at the document in his hand. "A contract is not just a piece of paper."

"You must keep your word and do what you say. You value your promise more than life and death."

Zhong Ling turned the document in her hand over and presented it to Ying.

In the name column of the document, the name Zhong Ling was clearly written.

"Linglong..." Ying suddenly felt that she couldn't utter a single word of her usual sweet talk, and her throat felt dry and sour.

The 'Marriage Registration Declaration' was the 'contract' that he had obtained from the 'General Affairs Department' more than a month ago to propose to Zhong Ling.

A contract is a piece of paper, but it is more than a promise.

"Since we have both signed, this means that this [Contract] has come into effect." Zhong Ling put the [Contract] back into her sleeve. "From the date of signing, I will be your wife."

Ying rarely saw Zhong Ling's expression so serious and earnest.

'I am your wife'

These words echoed in Ying's mind.

It is extremely rare for Zhong Ling to say such words. After all, Zhong Ling does not seem to have the experience or talent to say sweet words.

And such serious words surpass everything.

"Yeah!" Ying nodded vigorously and reached out to hold Zhong Ling's hand.

No matter what, she didn't want to let go of this hand, let alone the owner of this hand.

Moreover, everything is still speculation now, and we don’t even know whether the person who appeared in Mondstadt is Sora or not.

----

The distance between Mondstadt and Liyue seemed to be infinitely shortened.

In just a blink of an eye, the three of them arrived in Mond.

"I've always found it strange. Why is one of Mond's teleportation anchors on the clock tower?" Paimon looked around.

They were actually on the first floor, although even if this teleportation anchor point was randomly long, it shouldn't be transferred to any bell tower.

"These are not the main points. The main point is to find 'Catherine' and see the person in strange clothes."

Ying's appearance still attracted some people's attention.

After all, she only stayed in Mond for a month, and during this time, Ying was a kind-hearted person who was generous and charitable.

If you need anything, I will do my best to complete it.

Just like another Noelle, so reliable.

However, seeing Ying in a hurry, those who had been helped by Ying were a little confused, but they did not go up to disturb Ying.

After coming down from the teleportation anchor point, Ying pulled Zhong Ling, with little Paimeng floating beside them.

They rushed to Catherine with great momentum.

C.41 Dainsleb

"Towards the stars..."

"There's no need to say so much when greeting, Catherine!" This was the first time that Ying interrupted Catherine.

Ying also knew that Catherine was not that simple, and her catchphrase was probably a setting.

So Ying usually waits for Catherine to finish her catchphrase before talking to her.

But this time she couldn't wait.

"Catherine, where is the blond man in exotic clothing you mentioned?" Ying asked hurriedly.

In fact, Ying herself did not expect that her luck would be so good. In just three months, she had found her brother's trace.

"I don't know his name because he rejected the invitation from the Adventurer's Guild. But he doesn't look like a native of Mondstadt, and his clothes are unusual, so I notified Catherine in Liyue Harbor and told you about the situation." Catherine first gave a brief account.

"Thank you so much, Catherine." Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know if the other party was Kong, at least she had a clue to describe the approach. "So, where is he now?"

"If the traveler wants to find him, he might be in Angel's Gift now." Catherine told Ying what she knew. "But I can't be sure. After all, we can't keep an eye on that gentleman."

"It's okay, I'll go over and take a look." Ying quickly shook her head. "Linglong, Paimeng, let's go over and take a look."

"Yeah." Zhong Ling nodded slightly.

----

"Most people don't drink at this time, right?" Standing at the door of 'Angel's Gift', Zhong Ling looked up at the sky.

Who's going to a bar in the middle of the day?

"Hmm..." Ying looked at the 'Angel's Gift' and fell into silence for a moment.

After all, in Ying's understanding, her brother doesn't drink.

It has nothing to do with age. Although Kong looks young and seems to be a minor, there are still ways for him to buy alcohol.

Sora simply doesn't like drinking.

In fact, Ying didn't like it very much either, but she was more curious about the taste of various wines.

Ying and Kong's attitude towards alcohol is "You can drink to your heart's content, but you can't become addicted to it."

"Never mind, let's go in and take a look first." Ying shook her head. She had been separated from Kong for who knows how long, and she had no idea whether Kong had changed in any way.

What if Kong learns bad things and becomes addicted to drinking?

So let’s go in and take a look first.

They pushed the door open while chatting.

I saw a green bard standing at the door of the tavern.

"Wendy!" As soon as I entered the door, I saw a bard who was never doing his job.

"Huh? Was it the wind that brought you here?" Wendy fiddled with the lyre in her hand.

"It's a spring breeze that's enough to warm the cold winter." Zhong Ling said with a chuckle.

"Oh?" Wendy looked at Zhong Ling, then at Ying. "It seems that a breeze that hasn't blown for thousands of years has finally arrived."

"Hehe." Zhong Ling laughed softly, then snapped her fingers, and without anyone around noticing, a golden light flashed by.

And the 'end point' of this stream of light is Wendy's palm.

Wendy didn't look directly at what was in his hand, but he roughly guessed it.

"Be on time." Zhong Ling gave a random reminder.

"I understand. I'll definitely go if nothing goes wrong." Wendy nodded quickly.

If the dragon's request is normal, it would be better to satisfy her.

As for the reason...well, this dragon is too powerful.

Wendy is still a little bit unsure of her own strength, and there is no way she can win.

Not to mention now, even the [Wind God] can't beat her.

[Seven Ruling Powers of the Earth·God of Wind]...This name is indeed very famous.

But in fact, because Barbatos did not manage the country, the power he could get from the 'Heart of the Wind God' was very little.

Since the bonus from the 'Heart of the Wind God' is almost non-existent, he can only rely on his own strength.

But let’s not talk about his own strength...

We won’t discuss for now how powerful the wind elf is.

The only real power he could bring to bear was the part he got from Diocletian.

But if this dragon really fought, let alone a part of Diocletian's authority and divine power, even if the entire Diocletian came, he could at most fight her to a draw.

"Yeah." Zhong Ling nodded with satisfaction.

"But, you came to Mond this time just to give me this?" Wendy asked, shaking her head.

If you're here to deliver wedding invitations, there shouldn't be any need for you to come together, right?

"Not really." Zhong Ling shook her head, then glanced at Ying who was scanning the guests in Angel's Gift. "Did you see a blond man who was dressed differently from the average person?"

"...Ah~" Wendy was silent for a moment and then suddenly nodded, pouting her lips to indicate the other person's location. "Hey, isn't it over there?"
