What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

"Why don't you ask Kun...Ruota's opinion first?" Ying interrupted as they watched the two people discussing how to deal with Ruota's problem without paying attention to who was around.

"Brother Ruotuo, do you have any suggestions or opinions?" Since Ying said so, Zhong Ling naturally had to ask.

"No." However, Ruota did not have any objection.

If given the chance, he certainly didn't want to become a beast that only knew how to destroy, and he didn't want to be hostile to the place he once protected.

"Since there isn't one, let's conduct the experiment according to the method we discussed before. Brother Ruotu, you will have to stay in the ball for a while." Zhong Ling pointed to the sphere in his hand.

"Next, Brother Ruota, please activate the [Sleepwalking in Various Realms] yourself." If someone else were to activate it, it would require a more complicated process, but if you activate it yourself, you can activate it anytime and anywhere.

"I understand." Ruota nodded, and just as he was about to activate the [Sleepwalking in Various Realms], he suddenly stopped. "Naga, be normal."

"Ah?" Zhong Ling tilted her head. "What are you talking about?"

"...Nothing." Ruota stared at Zhong Ling, shook his head after a few seconds, and at the same time activated the [Sleepwalking Method].

The incandescent light spread out from Kunjun's body and transformed into a very small Rādhāra.

"The sky shakes and all things change; the mountains and seas take shape." Zhong Ling held the sphere in his hand and chanted its activation words.

Five hundred years ago, at the most critical moment, Ruota used the power of his good thoughts and sent his good thoughts from the 'Fulong Tree' to the 'White Dragon Gorge', thereby awakening the will of Naga, giving Naga a chance to breathe so that she could seal herself.

Otherwise, with her strength, Liyue might have been destroyed by her before Morax could return to Liyue.

After all, a flood without any preparation can really swallow up everything.

'Buzz~'

The sphere emitted rays of light, indicating that it had been activated.

"Stars rise in the wasteland, shining like the blazing sun." The little shadow of Ruo Tuo said the second half of the sentence, and then sank into the sphere.

"Seal!" A fairy talisman was printed on the sphere, which could prevent the will of Ruota without a body from being worn away to the greatest extent.

"Okay, that's it." Zhong Ling put the ball into her sleeve. "Next, we just need to carve out Brother Ruo Tuo's body and we can wake him up."

"As for materials, since he has always been nurtured by the earth veins of 'White Dragon Gorge', the best material for casting his body is water element. But Brother Ruo Tuo is a rock dragon... let's go buy the 'Dragon Suppression Stone' on the market. After all, it was obtained by killing the Eight Qios. It is a 'Dragon Suppression Stone' produced by the collision of water element and rock element. Both its properties and strength are just right."

Ruota's will is too weak, so it is impossible to create a strong body for him.

However, the body made with the 'Dragon-Suppressing Stone' is strong enough.

"Well, since you proposed it, then you make the decision."

"Speaking of which, have you ever thought about this question?" Ying, who was watching, suddenly spoke up. "Why did Ruotu's evil thoughts condense into a little girl?"

"Because he doesn't have enough strength, he can only appear as a young child, right?" Zhong Ling said after thinking for a moment.

But if you think about it carefully, although Ajiu's power is only one-tenth of Ruota's, it is still pretty good. It is a bit strange that he can only appear in his childhood.

"I know this. You see, the power of evil thoughts is so black, and good thoughts are white, which corresponds exactly to yin and yang. In Liyue, yin generally refers to females, so evil thoughts appear in the form of Ajiu!" Paimon raised his hand and shouted.

"However, good and evil are subjective. Linglong said that the most important trigger for Ruotu's madness, in addition to the [wear and tear] imposed by [laws of nature], was the attack on the earth veins by humans during over-exploitation." Ying explained his opinion. "From this perspective, Ruotu is just fighting back."

"Hmm..." Paimon scratched his hair.

"So, what do you think, Ying?" Zhongli asked with a chuckle.

"I think... [Emperor Rock King] once appeared in the form of a woman in order to experience the life of a mortal woman?" Ying raised an eyebrow at Zhongli, but did not get an answer from Zhongli. "Then, does Ruotu's appearance in the form of Ajiu mean..."

"Yes, indeed." Zhong Ling understood what Ying meant. "Theoretically, elemental life has no gender distinction. Just like me, if it is really necessary, I can also transform into a male... But in the end, everything has 'instinct'."

"It was because I followed my instincts in the beginning that I took on the form of a woman."

"Maybe Brother Ruo Tuo also wants to experience it, or maybe he has such an instinct?"

It wasn’t that Zhong Ling was playing a prank, she was thinking very seriously.

Good and evil are merely subjective judgments and cannot be regarded as attribute judgments.

The Ruota in Kunjun is just a possession, so he is a male.

And Ajiu is completely formed by the power of Ruota, so she possesses the will of Ruota.

That being the case...

"Brother, I think Ying is right." Zhong Ling said to Zhong Li after thinking seriously.

"...It's up to you to decide." Zhongli said after a little thought.

Just as Zhong Ling just said, elemental life itself has no gender.

But when she transformed, she instinctively chose female, so she had a female posture.

Since Ajiu appears, it means that Ruota instinctively chose a female.

"Yeah, that makes sense." Zhongli nodded slightly. "Ying is indeed thoughtful."

"Then, the next thing is to deal with the aftermath." Zhong Ling looked at the miners lying in all directions. "Send them all to that camp. This time, Ying's commission is now complete."

"I felt like I was just following along." Ying felt like she didn't contribute at all. "Except for making a constructive suggestion at the end."

"That's enough." Zhong Ling put her arms around Ying's shoulders and gently pressed her cheek against Ying's. "If it weren't for Ying, we would never have thought that Brother Ruo Tuo had such an instinct."

"Linglong and Zhongli seemed to think my proposal was... okay?" Ying's proposal to make Ruotu's body into a girl was purely a joke.

I didn't expect that after I casually said this, my wife and brother-in-law would start to justify themselves and make everything seem reasonable.

She just wanted to be criticized.

C.77 Stinky Sister

"Is this how you siblings usually get along?" Ying, who was lying on the bed with his arms around his wife's waist, suddenly said. "It's not like he can keep his expression steady like usual."

“It’s pretty cute.”

Thinking of the cute sound Zhong Ling made when she was patted by Ruota under the 'Fulong Tree', and the way Zhong Ling put the blame on Zhongli without hesitation, Ying felt that he had discovered another side of his wife.

I didn't expect that she also had a side as a 'sister'.

She's the kind of sister who thinks, "My brother did all the bad things and I'm the good kid."

Normally when you look at her and Zhongli... although it is certain that they are siblings, there is no 'sister-like' factor about Zhongling at all.

Both of them were extremely calm, looked old-fashioned, and not cute at all.

"After all, I was young and could do whatever I wanted. Besides, my mentality was still in the process of transformation at that time." Zhong Ling twisted her body and turned around to speak face to face with Ying.

During the Demon War, Zhong Ling was the notorious [Naga Dragon King], not the later [Cangming Yuanjun].

Although she has a bad reputation, in front of her relatives and friends, she is not the lawless little Naga, but she still has some bad and crazy personality.

He's the kind of guy who, after doing something bad, would act cute and coquettishly to get away with it.

After all, Zhong Ling holds the highest status among the immortals, [Yuan Jun], but theoretically speaking, she is among the younger ones.

She won't cause trouble for those who can beat her, such as Morax and Ruoda. Why would she go looking for trouble?

And those who can't beat her...can't beat her.

"Is that so..." Looking at Zhong Ling's smooth forehead, Ying suddenly reached out and patted it.

"Oh! Ying, what are you doing?" Zhong Ling touched his forehead.

"Well, nothing... I just think you're cute."

"..."

"Don't look at me like that..." Stared at by Zhong Ling with a death gaze, Ying looked away guiltily. "By the way, aren't you going to put something on your forehead?"

“For example, that flower ornament.” Although I’m used to it, after all, a beautiful woman is still a beauty no matter what hairstyle she has.

Some beauties are stunningly beautiful even with bald heads.

But Ying felt that Zhong Ling could really make flower ornaments, and they would definitely look great.

"Let's talk about it later." Zhong Ling secretly wrote down Ying's thoughts.

----

'Dragon Stone'

It is a kind of ore used for forging. It is an elemental crystal produced by the collision of rock elements and other elements in the battle between upper-level demons.

It contains two kinds of demon-level power. If the blacksmith's craftsmanship is excellent, the weapon made with the "Dragon-Suppressing Stone" is strong enough to be used as an heirloom. (Four stars)

If it is used in conjunction with some materials, it can even reproduce part of the power of the two opposing sides, which is the level of a divine weapon.

Especially in this era, apart from the evil god who has gone to the "Dark Sea", the only rock-attributed demon god in the entire Teyvat is Morax, and now, Morax has also "returned to heaven".

This means that the 'Dragon Suppression Stone' will never appear again.

Thinking of the "high price" she had spent, Zhong Ling wanted to call Zhong Li out for some practice. After all, if they had a fight, the collision of their forces would also form a "Dragon Suppressing Stone".

Fortunately, since it has been determined that the body made for Ruota is in the form of a girl of about ten years old, the amount of "Dragon-Suppressing Stones" required will naturally not be that much.

Just be a little bigger than Paimon, and set the height at 1.2 meters.

The hair color is a gradient of black brown and Danxia orange, just copy Zhongli's hair color.

"Hmm...not bad." Zhongli looked at the design Zhong Ling gave him and nodded with satisfaction. "However, do we need to add horns and a tail?"

"Even Ganyu usually claims that his horn is just an ornament. Although Ruota has been out of the world for too long and not many people can recognize his features, it's not that no one recognizes him."

"Can't it be automatically scaled? Although it can be hidden, it cannot be absent." Although Zhong Ling usually does not show her horns, not showing them does not mean that she can do without them.

That is one of the symbols of the dragon's dignity!

Zhong Ling couldn't even imagine herself without horns...Oh, then she would be a Chilong.

If a dragon like Rādhāra didn't have horns, it would look like a crocodile.

No, I don’t know if it’s because she has been sealed for too long. The last time she went to deliver wedding invitations, if it wasn’t for the fact that the meeting was so sad, she almost laughed when she saw the round figure of [Rada Dragon King].

It's actually similar to the round image I drew when I had evil intentions...

Well, how to say it?

Zhong Ling really likes the round Ganyu, how cute is she?

Although she is slim and beautiful now, but... as a parent, when I see Ganyu like that, I always feel like this child is not full.

Ugh...

In short, with his chubby appearance now, if he didn’t have horns, he would probably be called a giant toad or turtle, right?

"That's true." Zhongli, who also has horns, can understand what Zhong Ling means.

Although it may be a bit troublesome, it is not difficult to make it scalable.

"Why do I feel that I am even busier after retiring from the throne?" Rock Emperor, who only had to work one day in previous years, suddenly found that he had a lot of things to do recently.

Help recast the weapons of my brother-in-law, carve a new body for Ruotu, and prepare a wedding for my sister...

There are quite a lot of things.

"That's all because of your serious procrastination problem, brother." Zhong Ling said with her arms crossed. "If you were just a little more diligent, it would be solved quickly."

"This is different. To create the best weapon, you need the right time and place, and the materials also need to blend in with each other. I'm waiting for the right opportunity. You can't be impatient for this kind of thing." Zhongli comforted calmly.

"Let's talk about reason and geographical advantages. As the [Emperor of Rock], you can create the most suitable terrain at any time."

Before, I thought Zhongli was a procrastinator, and since Ying wasn't in a hurry, I just didn't urge him. But Zhong Ling found that Zhongli's procrastination was too serious, so she had to use her "sister's dignity".

"As for the weather, as long as I am here, I can create all kinds of weather except sunny days. Don't tell me that I need natural weather. I am a part of nature."

Zhong Ling controls the four elements of wind, water, ice and thunder. He can control any kind of weather at any time except sunny days.

"Give me an excuse."

"..." Zhongli shook his head, speechless.

"Really? You can complete things you promised to others so quickly and actively, but why do you procrastinate when it comes to your sister?" Zhong Ling crossed her arms and said confidently. "Well, sometimes I am stubborn... No, this is called not forgetting my original intention. It's quite interesting to remember my original intention occasionally."

"..." I only say one sentence, and you can say ten.

Well, judging from the situation, if we don’t start working now, I’m afraid he’ll go crazy.

C.78 Is your brain broken?

Facts have proven that no matter if it is a human or a god, if they are pushed into a corner, they can do anything...

Well, except for math problems.
