Chapter 382 The Center of the Earth

Although she was very angry, Nashida soon discovered to her dismay that Liu Bai was indeed older than her, even in her girlish form.

After being depressed for a while, Nashida rubbed Liu Bai hard. She knew that Liu Bai would not always maintain this form. If she didn't touch him a few more times, there would be no chance in the future.

Usually it was Liu Bai who touched her, but now it was the other way around and it was quite fun...

Not long after, Liu Bai sat on the cloth spread on the ground during the picnic in dishevel, grabbing her clothes with both hands, with a pitiful expression, as if she had been violated.

If Ying or anyone else at the port saw her like this, they would probably be shocked.

"Okay, okay, don't feel wronged. I left some grilled oysters for you. I put the minced garlic in it as you asked. Come and try it."

Looking at the pitiful Liu Bai, Nashida had to compensate her with food.

"Hey, speaking of food, girl, I just slid an Osel's neck, roast it for me when you have time~"

When he heard Nashida mention food, Liu Bai immediately took out the head of Osser, which had been shrunk to the size of a duck's neck, from the small white house, with most of its long neck on it.

"Okay, I'll make it for you when I'm free, but I won't eat it."

Nashida nodded in agreement and added.

Although Osel has no human form and basically does not communicate with humans, it is, after all, a demon god like herself and an existence at the same level of life, so Nashida cannot bring herself to eat it.

Asking her to eat Osel's flesh is like asking a human to grab a monkey and gnaw on it.

Although humans do not eat monkeys, they would not feel uncomfortable if cheetahs and tigers in the wild took away monkeys, so she did not stop Liu Bai from eating them.

"Yeah, girl, you're so nice~"

Liu Bai happily put away Osel's head and then touched Nashida's hair.

"Of course I'm fine. If these oysters aren't enough, I'll grill some more meat for you. Um... there's only a little left and I'll finish it."

Nashida put her hands on her hips, looking a little proud, and then explained to Liu Bai.

They came here to barbecue before Ying entered the Golden House. Now several hours have passed and the food they brought has been almost eaten.

"Brother Zhongli hasn't come back yet, so let's continue eating."

Liu Bai nodded.

……

Although Zhongli wanted to solve the problem quickly and go back to check the impact of Osel's fall, he couldn't defeat Ruoli in a short time because of her resistance.

Although Ruoli had been sealed for a long time and her strength had been severely worn down, she was the Ruota Dragon King after all.

"Die, Morax!"

Although she looked like a human with dragon horns and a dragon tail, Ruoli roared and attacked like a wild beast, using the hardest crown of the Dragon King on her head to push towards Zhongli.

"..."

Facing Ruoli's impact, Zhongli did not dodge, but instead spread out his hands in a martial arts-like stance, with his arms covered with thick rock elemental force. He then crossed his hands and pushed them forward, grabbing Ruoli's horns and taking her impact head-on.

boom--!

A roar like thunder hitting a drum exploded when the two collided, and although it was in the air, it caused the earth to shake.

Zhongli, who took the hit head-on, was forced to move back hundreds of meters in mid-air, but his hand was always holding Ruoli's horn.

"call……"

"Why don't you use your real body to fight me?"

Although he was pushed back, Zhongli just let out a breath and spoke, then twisted his hands hard.

Ruoli, who was caught by the horns, had no foothold in the air. As Zhongli twisted his crossed hands hard, her whole body immediately spun at high speed in the air.

boom--

The next moment, Ruoli, who was spinning at high speed, was pulled down from the air by a dragon's tail and smashed into the ground.

And around her were countless rock ridges that had previously been used to suppress the rock dragon lizards.

Ruoli quickly climbed out of the hole she had dug, holding her head with her hands as she staggered to her feet. The clothes she was wearing, which Zhongli had bought for her with the money from the Northland Bank while in Liyue Harbor, were already tattered.

Looking at the formation gradually emerging on the surrounding rock ridges, Ruoli bared his teeth, whipped the ground hard with his tail, and tore the clothes on his chest with his hands.

But after a while, she slumped down again in frustration.

"I can't change back..."

Ruoli lowered her body and looked at her hands in confusion.

A year passed before she realized that she could not actively transform from a human to the appearance of King Rudra.

In her weak human state, the power she could exert was very limited, and she couldn't even destroy the entire Jueyunjian like she did in Jueyunjian.

"I understand now. It's that damn ball. It's still harming me!"

Thinking of this, Ruoli said angrily.

Seeing that the formation around her was about to take shape, Ruoli had no choice but to raise her tail, half-kneel down and put one hand on the ground.

Many cracks appeared on the ground, and a large amount of elemental power like magma emerged from the cracks and was absorbed by her with Ruoli as the center.

"Morax, don't even think about sealing me again..."

After absorbing the element of fire, Ruoli's body began to have lines as if magma was flowing. Her clothes were also ignited due to the high temperature, causing her petite body to be engulfed in flames. Even though she was roasted by the flames, her body was still as white as jade.

"what have you done?"

Zhongli glanced at the ground that seemed to be wrong and frowned.

"I created a channel for the energy of the earth's core. Under the pressure of the rock and soil, this place will soon become the largest crater in Teyvat."

Ruoli responded with a sneer, and the Fulong tree-shaped tail on her body also caught fire.

"You are crazy... But with your current strength, I'm afraid you can't do this."

As Zhongli spoke, he raised his hand and pressed down. The sealing formation formed by the rock ridges instantly pressed Ruoli to the ground and prevented her from continuing to mobilize the elements of the earth veins.

"Crazy... I've been crazy since the ley lines were destroyed by humans..."

"Look at other countries. When the consequences of the damage to the earth veins come, no one can escape..."

"Just watch..."

Ruoli, who was pressed to the ground, sneered and then closed her eyes.

And just as she closed her eyes, wisps of white mist overflowed from her body and gathered into her shape.

"Have I become like this too?"

The "Ruoli" made of white mist looked down at herself and said with a little surprise.

"Are you... Ruotu's good thoughts?"

Seeing her appear, Zhongli quickly thought of something.

He had also dealt with Ruota's kindness a thousand years ago. It was precisely because of Ruota's kindness that he was able to successfully seal her under the Fulong Tree a thousand years ago.

"I once thought so, but my current experience forces me to correct you, Morax."

"I don't distinguish between good and evil with her. The correct term should be extreme and rational."

"She lost her rational self due to wear and tear. She can still communicate normally, but she will think and do everything in an extreme direction, which eventually led to such consequences."

"And I was also worn out to the point of losing my memories of the past, but rationality calmed me down. I guess things are not as extreme as she thinks. Since I can be with you, it proves that I also love the humans on this land."

Ruoli, who was known as "Good Intentions", interrupted Zhongli and corrected him.

……

ps: I'm convinced. The part about the preview redemption code was reviewed, so I deleted it.
