What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle~" Paimon made an onomatopoeia of his stomach growling to express that he was hungry. "Traveler~"

Paimon made a funny expression.

The meaning was very clear, she wanted to eat delicious food now, and she wanted Ying to cook it.

"Tell me what you want to eat!" Ying said in a very 'domineering' manner.

"Oh! That's great!" Paimon clapped his hands happily, and without any embarrassment, he announced the dishes he wanted to eat. "I want to eat 'Crab roe tofu', 'Golden shrimp balls', 'Matsutake stuffed meat rolls', 'Squirrel fish'..."

Paimeng listed dozens of Liyue’s famous dishes like a treasure trove.

"I want to eat all of these!" Paimon simply said 'I want to eat' instead of 'I want to eat'.

"You wish." Ying was smiling at first, but as Paimon continued talking, her smile became more and more stiff. "Just four dishes and one soup, no more."

"Wow, why is this happening!" Paimon shouted and puffed up his cheeks.

However, she soon discovered that Ying's will could not be shaken.

"Okay then..." Paimon said aggrievedly that he wanted to eat four dishes and one soup, and then looked at Zhong Ling expectantly, hoping that she could make some supplements.

"Well, four dishes and one soup are enough." Zhong Ling smiled and nodded. "Make a little more."

"No problem." I naturally agreed to my wife's request~

"Woo, different treatment." Paimon rolled his eyes at Ying.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Linglong is my wife~" Ying said proudly.

This was the first time Ying said "Linglong is my wife" out loud. Before, he had only thought about it secretly in his heart.

"And you are my emergency food." Yingyin laughed.

"Don't eat me!"

C.28 There is also a wedding invitation

"Tonight, go sleep at Linglong's side~" Ying washed herself until she looked rosy and fair in the room, put on her pajamas, and walked out of the room with a bath towel on her head.

Her target location was naturally the door opposite.

"Linglong hasn't turned off the lights yet. From this position... is she in front of the desk?" Ying walked to the door and found that the lights in Zhong Ling's room were on, but not in the bedroom.

However, this doesn't matter to Ying.

After all, a night attack was impossible, and any movement she made could wake Zhong Ling up.

The only difference is whether Zhong Ling wants to wake up or not.

"Linglong, aren't you going to turn off the lights?" Ying quietly pushed open the door and poked his head out to look at the beauty in the room.

Zhong Ling was only wearing a light blue pajamas and a simple white gauze dress on her shoulders that couldn't even keep her warm.

Her frosty long hair was casually draped over her body, highlighting a laziness and casualness that was completely different from her usual self.

She was sitting at the desk, holding a brush of unknown material in her hand, and under the brush was a familiar piece of red cardboard.

"I'll go to sleep soon." Hearing Ying's voice, Zhong Ling raised her head and smiled slightly.

"Hehe~" Ying grinned wickedly, without opening the door, she crawled in through the gap in the door that was only as wide as her head like a cat, and then closed the door quietly.

"What are you doing?" Zhong Ling asked with a smile, looking at Ying's funny look. "Like a thief."

That cautious look is exactly like a thief, right?

"I'm a flower thief!" Ying, who had closed the door, made the gesture of wolf claws that adults use to scare children with her hands, and shouted at Zhong Ling.

Well, these words plus the wolf claw gesture...he is a pervert!

"Hehe~ beauty~" Ying deliberately showed a classic obscene smile and rubbed her hands quickly twice. "Why are you not sleeping so late~ are you waiting for me?"

Ying even twitched his eyebrows twice, portraying the image of a gangster to the fullest.

Zhong Ling didn't know where she learned it from.

"Yes." Zhong Ling nodded openly. "If you don't come over again, I'll go to sleep."

"Are you really waiting for me?" Ying instantly restrained her perverted appearance and moved closer to Zhong Ling. "What are you writing?"

Ying looked at the red cardboard on the table curiously.

Still the familiar layout and familiar font.

'Marriage Certificate'

The same gold powder was used to write these two big words brightly on the cardboard.

"Can Ying use a brush?" Zhong Ling asked, turning her head.

"Of course!" Ying puffed out her chest proudly. "But why write one more?"

The Invitees field is empty.

"Actually, I forgot to ask." Zhong Ling's face was filled with apology.

"Eh? What's the matter?" Ying asked, blinking.

"What's Ying's brother's name?" Zhong Ling asked embarrassedly. They have been together for so long, but she still doesn't know Ying's brother's name.

Neither Mondstadt nor Liyue mentioned the name in the missing person notices they issued.

Ying never mentioned her brother's name.

"My brother..." Just as Ying was about to say her brother's name, she suddenly realized who the latest wedding invitation in front of Zhong Ling was for. "My brother... His name is Kong."

"Kong...well, it sounds like they are indeed brother and sister." Zhong Ling nodded with a smile.

One is called Kong, the other is called Ying...

"Since Ying can write, let Ying write her name lightly." Zhong Ling stood up, gave her seat to Ying, and handed over the pen in her hand.

"..." Ying held the pen and looked at the wedding invitation in front of her. "Humph, I won't write it... Anyway... Anyway, I can't find him..."

Ying's voice was muffled, and she obviously felt aggrieved.

The two of them were getting married, and all of Zhong Ling's relatives and friends would come, but on his side, even his own brother couldn't be found.

Of course, she didn't blame Zhong Ling for inviting so many people. It was just that when she saw Zhong Ling chatting with those immortals, the sense of harmony that was inadvertently revealed made Ying feel out of place.

When she looked at Paimon, she suddenly reacted.

Even Paimon is from Teyvat, but he is from outside the world.

In the entire Teyvat, only Sora is like her.

Ying suddenly felt a sense of loneliness. Looking back, she couldn't even see the way she came from.

"Ying..." Zhong Ling called Ying's name softly. She reached out and held Ying's hand that was holding the pen.

She guided Ying's hand and started writing.

A scribbled word "empty" was written on the invitee's column.

After writing the words, Zhong Ling looked at Ying.

Star blue eyes met those amber eyes.

"You still have me, let's go find him together." Zhong Ling said softly to Ying.

"Linglong!" Ying called out softly and hugged Zhong Ling with both hands.

Yes, Kong is still alive, and they will meet one day.

And the woman in her arms will become her wife and her new family member after a period of time.

She is not alone.

"Okay, don't be sad." Zhong Ling lowered her head slightly and rubbed her chin against the top of Ying's head who was hugging her tightly.

She could feel a faint warmth coming from her chest.

Not only that, she could also feel the ink from the brush in Ying's hand spreading on her back.

"Linglong is really..." Ying said dully, burying her head in Zhong Ling's chest. "Too considerate."

"Because Ying needs my understanding now." Zhong Ling stroked Ying's hair.

"Yeah." Ying didn't know how to respond, so she could only nod. "I've finished writing, it's time for us to go to bed."

"Okay~ But Ying, can you let me go first?"

"I don't want to let go." Having said that, Ying still let go of her hand.

At this moment, Ying suddenly realized that he was holding a brush in his hand, the bristles on the tip of which were in a mess.

Only then did she recall the scene when she hugged Zhong Ling just now.

She no longer dared to imagine it.

The back of Zhong Ling's light blue pajamas and pure white gauze looked like after he had been wildly using the brush. It was a horrible sight.

"It's just clothes." Looking at Ying's cowardly look, Zhong Ling couldn't help but laugh.

"It looks very expensive." Although his wife is a super rich woman, expensive is still expensive.

"It's not expensive." Zhong Ling shook her head. "I knitted it myself, so there's no labor cost."

Yes, that’s right. Zhong Ling weaves it herself and there is no labor cost.

But but...

This was woven by [Cangming Yuanjun]!

"Linglong knitted it herself..." Ying looked at Zhong Ling's clothes, her lips moved a little, and then she said "anxious".

"Can I pay with my flesh?"

C.29 There is a Dragon in Liyue

"Towards the stars and the abyss, welcome to the Adventurer's Guild." Catherine's gentle voice sounded, which was her unchanging greeting.

"Good morning, Katherine." Paimon waved his little hands and shouted.

"Good morning, traveler, little Paimon." Catherine nodded with a friendly smile.

"I heard that you were looking for me. What happened?" Originally, Ying was planning to deliver wedding invitations with Zhong Ling today, but unexpectedly she met a member of the Adventurer's Association on the way. The member told Ying that Catherine was looking for her.

Originally, Zhong Ling also said she wanted to come, but after hearing Ying say that delivering the wedding invitations was more important, they went their separate ways.

"Huh? Miss Zhong Ling isn't here?" Catherine asked with some confusion.

"Linglong had something to do, so she didn't come."

"In that case, things might become a little difficult." Unlike others, Catherine had witnessed the battle between the 'Qun Yu Pavilion' and the [Demon of the Whirlpool].

So Catherine knew Zhong Ling's strength.

"Hmm? Linglong isn't a member of the Adventurer's Association." Ying tilted her head. "What's going on?"

"It is precisely because Miss Zhong Ling is not a member of the Adventurer's Association that I hope you, the traveler, can discuss this with Miss Zhong Ling." Catherine said with some distress. "Some serious things have happened recently."

"Tell me about it. If it's really necessary, I'll go find Linglong to explain it."

"Well, here's what happened," Catherine told her story.

"Recently, some adventurers reported that they had found traces of dragons near 'Tianqiu Valley' and 'Nantianmen'." Catherine told Ying directly the purpose of her visit this time.

"Dragon?!" Paimon's eyes widened in shock.

"Are there still dragons in Liyue?!" Ying asked in shock.

It’s not like they haven’t seen a dragon before. Ying even slept with a dragon in her arms yesterday.

However, apart from Zhong Ling, they have never seen any other dragons...oh, or rather, they have never seen any other Liyue dragons.

"Oh, sorry, I was wrong." Catherine apologized quickly. "It's like this, the one that the adventurers call a 'dragon' is not an elemental dragon of the level of [Yuan Jun]."

"To be precise, it should be called a dragon lizard."

"Dragon Lizard..." Ying had heard of the name.

The [Return Machine] arranged on the 'Tianheng Ancient City Wall' was originally a fairy mechanism used to defend against rock dragon lizards and other large monsters.

According to Zhong Ling, the Rock Dragon Lizard is a very powerful monster and was originally the enemy of the "People of Tianheng".
