What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

It was also because of Ruota's final voice that awakened her reason, enabling her to fight against the violence in her consciousness, and finally seal herself in "White Dragon Gorge" without making a big mistake.

"Ah..." Zhong Ling's fingertips touched Ying's soft lips.

Although it feels soft, it seems to be lacking water, so you can feel a little dry.

"Ugh!" Zhong Ling pulled back her hand as if she had received an electric shock, grabbed the fingers of her right hand with her left hand, and looked towards Ying in panic.

She hadn't woken up yet, which made Zhong Ling feel relieved.

"Alas..." Zhong Ling walked to the balcony, hoping to use the night breeze to calm herself down a little.

Standing on the balcony, Zhong Ling looked at the bright moon in the night sky, her eyes filled with confusion.

Suddenly, Zhong Ling reached out and touched his sleeve, then slowly pulled out a sword from his sleeve.

The dark scabbard encloses the dazzling bright yellow blade.

It is obvious that this sword does not belong to Zhong Ling, or the power of this sword is not compatible with Zhong Ling.

Touching the scabbard, Zhong Ling drew out the sword, and you can see it if you look closely.

The blade of this sword is not sharpened, it is a sword without an edge... No, it just has no edge.

There are two characters engraved on the front and back of the sword's hilt, which are generally unrecognizable to those who are not ancient people or historians.

Looking at the bright yellow sword blade, Zhong Ling touched her forehead, and then a bright yellow pendant suddenly appeared in her hand.

Zhong Ling held the pendant and pointed it at the light source in the sky. There was actually a word engraved inside the bright pendant.

"How should I put it... When you saw this, maybe you had already let it go?"

She threaded the pendant's chain into the sword's pommel.

The unsharpened sword edge began to deform, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a sword that could cut through gold and jade.

The six instruments of Yuanjun are: zither, chess, pen, scroll, seal, and sword.

Everyone in Liyue knows that the 'Six Yuanjun Weapons' are extremely powerful.

But only the immortals knew that the first five of the so-called "Six Instruments of Yuanjun" were just toys for her and her friends to entertain themselves.

However, the 'sword' among the six weapons is indeed extremely powerful.

"Finally, I have to accept this fact." Zhong Ling stroked the indestructible blade, but it did not hurt her at all.

Because the power of this sword comes from...her.

The words "return" and "end" are engraved on the front and back of the sword's hilt.

She closed her eyes and recalled some of the things that happened.

It was a day five hundred years ago. Naga was wandering in the mortal world under the name of Zhong Ling. She suddenly found her brother Morax sitting in a teahouse with a small cup of tea and looking into the distance.

The storyteller on the stage was passionately telling the story of the expedition of [Gro King]. It was a classic of Liyue that had lasted for thousands of years, a story that had been compiled countless times and was also the Naga's favorite story.

At least, it is much more pleasant to the ear than "The Dragon's Eye" and "The Dragon Comes Out of the Abyss", which sound very annoying.

Although she knew that her brother was like her and often wandered around the world, Naga always felt that Morax was just a piece of stone.

I have no idea what feelings are. It was like this 4,200 years ago, and it is still like this now.

Naga will never forget the time when she awakened her intelligence and transformed into a human form. She looked curiously at this guy who suddenly appeared, and this guy took out a spear and scared her to tears.

"I want to buy some osmanthus flowers and carry some wine, but it's a pity that we are old friends... when will we meet again..." Just as Naga was about to go up to say hello, she suddenly heard Morax's words.

She stopped and looked at the man's back in a daze.

It seemed that at that moment, she finally understood something.

Brother Ruota once said, 'Rocks have hearts.'

The Naga at that time didn't seem to understand this.

Although in the eyes of the immortals, [Cangming Yuanjun] is the sister of [Yanwang Emperor].

But her relationship with Morax was not very good...or rather, it was after that incident that the relationship between her and Morax began to become strained.

And at that moment, she suddenly understood.

The devil has great love for the world, but this does not mean that the devil will not have feelings for individuals other than humans.

Perhaps, Morax was immersed in memories of the past and he did not notice the arrival of Naga.

After swallowing the tea, Morax walked away.

Inexplicably, Naga read a feeling called 'loneliness' from his back.

"Wait... go see my brother after we return to Liyue..." Zhong Ling stroked the pendant on the sword head and looked at the character.

The pendant was given to her by Gui Zhong. Gui Zhong is very smart...her eyes seem to be able to see the future.

She seemed to know that she would die, and she also knew what Zhong Ling would do at the moment of her death.

When the pendant is combined with the sword, Guizhong's last words will be revealed.

Dust gathered in front of Zhong Ling's eyes.

'Fate comes and goes, flowers bloom and fall, and return to dust'

'The dead are gone, the living are like this'

"Really..." Zhong Ling looked at the words in front of her and sighed. "No thoughts at all."

Zhong Ling blew away the dust.

The dispersed dust turned into three characters again and were embedded in the sword guard and pendant.

"It's a pity that the old friend...can't come back..."

This sword is called

'It's hard to return'

A.47 Green Dragon

"Miss Zhong Ling, are you here?" Ying rubbed his eyes and walked to the balcony in a daze.

"Hmm? Ying?" Zhong Ling turned around holding the sword. "Are you awake?"

"Uh..." In just a moment, all of Ying's confusion and sleepiness disappeared completely.

The moonlight shone on Zhong Ling's back. Zhong Ling, who was slightly taller than Ying, was backlit, so his face was pitch black. Only the sword in his hand flashed with its sharpness that could cut through gold and jade.

"Ms. Zhong...Ms. Zhong Ling?" Ying swallowed. "I...I will take responsibility!"

"?" Zhong Ling tilted her head in confusion. "Strange? Shouldn't I be the one saying this?"

"But fortunately, since Ying has spoken, we can avoid the embarrassment of finding this topic."

Zhong Ling secretly rejoiced and took a step forward.

"Wow, don't kill me!" Ying curled up into a ball, holding her head.

"This..." Zhong Ling looked at Ying who was curled up in a ball, and then looked at the long sword in his hand. "Ying, you are joking. How could I possibly attack you?"

The dark scabbard turned into dust and entangled the sword blade, enveloping "Never Returning", and Zhong Ling then put it back into her sleeve.

"Huh... I was so scared..." Ying glanced at Zhong Ling quietly, then breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought... cough."

"What did you think?" Zhong Ling pulled Ying up. "Did you think I would kill you?"

"Ahaha..." Ying laughed twice to get away with it.

"..." Zhong Ling looked at Ying and sighed after a moment. "Although I am glad that Ying can eliminate the awkwardness between us in this way, some problems still need to be solved."

"Um...were we discovered?" Ying scratched her hair.

How could Ying be scared by such a simple thing? Although the scene just now was a classic murder scene from Ying's perspective.

The invisible face and the murder weapon that will soon be stained with blood.

Although the scene is indeed terrifying, even if you can't see the face, you can still feel Zhong Ling's aura.

So Ying wasn't scared, she was just interrupting on purpose.

"Ying." Seeing that Ying seemed to be about to run away, Zhong Ling grabbed her hand. "Listen to me."

"Um, you...just tell me." Her little thoughts were seen through, so Ying had no choice but to obey.

"Ying, I don't know what you are thinking now, but things have already happened and must be resolved." Zhong Ling looked at Ying seriously and said.

"Well...Miss Zhong Ling...actually...actually in our world, it's very common for girls to hug and kiss each other." Ying felt that developing a relationship in Teyvat was not something unacceptable.

But it was obvious that Zhong Ling had no romantic feelings for her.

If it was just a sense of responsibility that drove her to do this, Ying would think there was no need.

Although it was a forced kiss, it’s true...but...but just...just treat it as artificial respiration! Yes, just treat it as artificial respiration!

We are saving lives anyway! A kiss in an emergency doesn't count!

"Ying...have you ever kissed someone else?" There was no special tone, Zhong Ling asked calmly.

After all, she and Ying didn't have any real feelings for each other, and she couldn't get emotional over something like this.

No matter what, even if Ying had any past with others, that was still the past.

She must keep a normal mind when communicating with Ying.

"Wow?! How horrible! " It would be fine if Zhong Ling had a special tone, but such a steady tone... gave Ying a feeling that the woman in front of him had turned evil.

"No! No!" It wasn't that she lied to save her life; Ying was telling the truth.

However, her first reaction was actually to agree, so that Zhong Ling could be relieved of the burden of responsibility.

But now, for the sake of your own safety...I'd better tell the truth.

If I were to be stabbed by Zhong Ling for such a small matter, wouldn't it be too hasty of a death? !

"Why did Ying specifically mention this?" Zhong Ling sighed inwardly. "Sure enough...you want to reject me..."

"That's right."

Zhong Ling felt that it was normal for Ying to reject her.

Zhong Ling is an elemental dragon, and it doesn’t matter to her whether her partner is a man or a woman.

But Ying is different, Ying is a human female.

Heaven and Earth, Sun and Moon, Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang

It is normal if Ying likes a man.

"Ying..." Zhong Ling stared into Ying's eyes. "Do you like me...even a little bit?"

Even though she had lived for four thousand seven hundred years, this was the first time she had confessed her love.

No experience whatsoever.

After all, in this kind of situation, it doesn't mean that just having enough theoretical experience will really come in handy in actual combat.

"..." Ying widened her eyes, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

To say no... let's be honest, super beauty, rich woman, gentle lady, goddess... with a series of attributes added together, the initial favorability is UP↑UP↑UP↑, how could there be no favorability?

But if I say yes... I have feelings for him, but it's not love at all, and I'm an outsider from another world...

"If not...it doesn't matter..." Seeing that Ying seemed to be in trouble, Zhong Ling sighed and let go of Ying's wrist.

Love is something that cannot be forced.

Zhong Ling was also very clear that she just had a little affection for Ying, it had nothing to do with love, it was just a sense of responsibility.

But if Ying likes her a little bit, then she will also try hard to like Ying.

Since Ying is in trouble, she should just relax a little and not force her... Zhong Ling doesn't want to do that.

"Yes! Of course!" Seeing Zhong Ling let go of his hand with a gloomy expression, Ying felt that her instinct was working faster than her brain for a moment.

By the time her brain reacted, her body had already grabbed Zhong Ling's hand and finished speaking.

"This is terrible!!!" In Ying's mind, the little self was rolling on the ground holding his head. "What am I doing!!!"

"Ying, don't force yourself. I'm fine." Looking at Ying's changing expression, Zhong Ling knew that she must have spoken without thinking it through.

So she wanted to give Ying a chance to regret, and also give herself a chance to regret.
