Chapter 35 - Chapter 35 Shadow of the Fire Dragon

Subsequently, Jack, the lord of Entara, led the West Wind Knight delegation to visit the sugarcane cultivation base, the Moo Moo Ranch breeding base, and other places.

Both sides fully exchanged opinions and signed a strategic cooperation agreement on future agricultural and livestock product trade between Mondstadt and Entara.

Jack, the lord of Entara, stated:

"Our country's agricultural products, fruits, and meat products are abundant in quantity and variety. After cooking, they can even embody the most authentic taste of nature. We are deeply honored to reach a cooperation agreement on food supply with your esteemed country… This project, as the first cooperation between our two nations, lays the foundation for mutual trust. In the future, we will work hand in hand to cooperate and support each other in broader fields. We both have a bright future."

...

"See, isn't it much better written this way?"

Jack handed the notebook to Jean.

Jean looked left, then right.

Then she looked at him in confusion: "I understand all these Teyvat common terms, but why do they seem a bit unfamiliar when put together?"

"After all, it's an official document between two nations, so it has to be a bit more formal."

"Alright, Jean, go back and ask Kaeya for his opinion. He's quite good at these things anyway." Lisa seemed to be in a very good mood, perhaps because the feeling of being "watched" by her god's eye had disappeared after leaving Teyvat.

"By the way, dear, do you still have spare rooms in your big villa?"

"There are quite a few, what's wrong?"

"You know perfectly well."

Lisa gave him a charming eye roll: "Don't come for a night raid on big sister tonight, oh. Of course, if you do come, big sister won't refuse."

Underestimating me?

Jack wrapped his arm around Lisa: "Rather than a night raid, I prefer daytime indulgence~"

Saying that, he was about to lean down and kiss her.

Lisa's expression panicked, and she quickly moved away, her pretty face turning from pale to rosy.

Amber and Eula exchanged glances, trembling.

Even Lisa, with her incredibly high attack power, was defeated; it's hard to imagine that if they had gone, they would have easily been completely subdued by this man.

"Alright, ladies, the tour is over, and you all know my world is in a state of disrepair. Now, do you want to return to the Knights of Favonius or are you planning to spend the night here with me?"

Speaking of spending the night.

Jack opened his arms, giving the impression that he was going to sleep with everyone.

"Ahem, I think I'll go back first. The Knights of Favonius still has a lot of work to do."

The innocent Acting Grand Master Jean couldn't accept a multi-person activity for now, so she immediately found an excuse to escape.

"I, I also... haven't finished patrolling some areas. Acting Grand Master Jean, I'll go back with you."

Amber, who was as innocent as Acting Grand Master Jean, quickly joined the escape team.

"There's nothing I can do with you. Amber, I'll accompany you this time."

Eula would not admit she was running away, so she directly used her good friend Amber as a shield.

Then Jack's gaze shifted to Lisa.

"I want to stay... There are many things in this world that I'm very interested in, and I no longer feel like my knowledge is being 'polluted'."

"Good! Seeing how shy and cute you all are, I suppose you can't accept a kiss goodbye yet. How about we end with a hug?"

Jack smiled and stepped forward to hug Acting Grand Master Jean, Eula, and Amber one by one.

Just like his innocent eyes, there was no trace of impurity, only a hug filled with care and affection.

...

Soon after, the Teyvat delegation reluctantly returned to the Knights of Favonius, with only Lisa and Klee remaining in Jack's world.

"I underestimated you a bit. You gained the favor of four beautiful maidens, yet you managed to maintain your composure. It seems my choice was correct."

Lisa leaned into Jack's arms, greedily absorbing the warmth she had longed for day and night.

Jack looked at the Teyvat Gate in front of him and chuckled, "Physical pleasure is but fleeting. Human mating activities typically last only a few minutes, ten minutes at most. Love, at its core, is merely a self-hypnotic illusion driven by biological instinct."

"But humans are thinking reeds; spiritual satisfaction and pleasure are far more lasting and memorable than physical ones."

"Oh, do you mean you're a sage who advocates spiritual union?"

Jack chuckled, then kissed Lisa on the forehead: "I want it all!"

...

"Lumie, did you hear something?"

"Hmm, it sounds like a beast's roar. Is it a dragon? But it's much deeper than the three at home."

"Indeed, I think we might have encountered a big one."

Keqing and Lumine exchanged glances, then both became vigilant.

"What, what! Why didn't I hear anything?"

"It's enough that the two of us heard it. Paimon, come down quickly. If we really fight a giant dragon, we might not be able to look after you."

"Huh? No, no... no! Lumine, you must protect me!"

Paimon quickly lowered her altitude, pulling Lumine's hair, her small face worried as she looked around.

Lumine impatiently swatted away her small hand pulling her hair: "You'll pull it all out! Don't worry, by the sound of it, that big guy is still far away. You can find a place to hide when it gets closer."

"Besides, we might not even fight the dragon. After all, Jack said that before he collects enough marble and aquamarine to develop Starshine Magic, we should try to avoid fighting giant dragons. Even seemingly hard diamond armor can only ensure escape in front of a giant dragon."

"I don't like hearing that. After all, I've traveled through four nations. Wind Demon Dragon, Fatui Executive, Osial, Raiden Shogun, Aralia Dragon Apep (cells of)... What kind of storms hasn't I, the Traveler, seen? A mere giant dragon is nothing to worry about."

Keqing didn't argue, but secretly prepared to rescue her.

The discussion ended.

Lumine comforted Paimon, who always messed up at critical moments.

Then, with Keqing, she slowly explored in the direction of the sound.

After walking for more than ten minutes.

The sound came from diagonally above.

"Such a high mountain. Is that where the giant dragon nests?"

"Hmm, should we climb up?"

Lumine seemed eager to try.

"Don't rush yet. I'll find a place to set up a Teleport Waypoint. If we really can't win, we'll have a retreat."

Keqing's personality was more steady, knowing the importance of a retreat, unlike Lumine who always rushed in the story.

Lumine was also someone who listened to advice.

So, they circled around the area again.

Finally, they chose a place far from the dragon's nest, on the back of a mountain, and placed the Waypoint.

"Let's go! Today, I shall meet the so-called giant dragon!"

Lumine was full of spirit, pointing her sword towards the dragon's nest.

An hour later.

Lumine felt she still had the advantage!

Two hours later.

Lumine exclaimed she couldn't take it anymore!

Two hours and 10 minutes later.

This idiotic dungeon is impossible to beat without a healer!

...

"Husband, save me! Your lovely wife was bullied by a big lizard!"

As soon as she returned to Linjian Cabin and found Jack, Lumine, with feigned tears, threw herself into his arms, constantly acting spoiled and playful.
