After subduing the two giant dragons.
Their placement became a significant issue.
The ordinary Villagers clearly couldn't accept living under the same roof as legendary dragons, and the proud dragon race didn't want to openly display caretaker behavior.
Therefore, after much consideration, Jack ultimately placed the dragon's lair within the mountain range further behind the Linjian Cabin.
That location was deep in the mountains, with a beautiful and quiet environment.
Even if occasional dragon roars echoed, they wouldn't scare the residents within Entara's territory.
Thus, after organizing all the miscellaneous tasks.
The time had already reached evening.
Jack timed his return home, pushing open the front door.
A group of beautiful young women... and married women immediately stopped, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at him.
Stepping at a steady pace, Jack walked towards Keqing and the others, speaking of the results of his solo venture today as he walked.
"Today, I encountered two dragons nearing Phase 5. After subduing them, I placed them in the back mountains. If we need mounts or bodyguards to go to Teyvat in the future, we can have them... Hmm? What's going on? The atmosphere feels a bit off?"
Jack stopped, observing the situation.
The dozen or so girls, whether cute, charming, or valiant, were completely in three different worlds.
Keqing, Lisa, and the others were in the first world, all wearing smiles that Jack was very familiar with.
Klee and Diona were in another world, their cheeks puffed out, looking like two cats about to be kicked out of the house.
Paimon, on the other hand, stood alone in her own world, her eyes gradually turning into the shape of world coins, looking as if she had been bribed.
Something's up!
Could this be what Keqing and the others had been plotting earlier?
Jack suppressed his curiosity and watched Keqing walk towards him.
Keqing came to his side, helped him straighten his collar, and then smiled.
"My dear, welcome home. Would you like to eat first, or take a bath first?"
"Can we do both?"
Keqing smiled and said, "No! There are children here."
"Right."
Jack gave an embarrassed smile.
Then, with Keqing's assistance, he opened his arms and took off his coat.
He walked to the sofa, looked at Klee, who was pouting, and pinched her chubby cheeks.
"What's wrong? Who made our little princess unhappy?"
"╭(╯^╰)╮!"
Klee turned her head away.
The little one is throwing a tantrum?
Jack picked her up and placed her on his lap, then, as if by magic, pulled out a red block.
"TNT!"
Klee suddenly looked happily at the item in his hand.
"Thank you, Papa!"
Klee accepted the explosive material, which could only be issued in limited quantities each month, and happily swung her short legs.
Diona looked on with a sour expression: Traitor! What about our agreement to protest together?
...
After dinner, the Goddess Alliance began their first collective activity, dragging Jack into a unique marathon race.
On the track.
Jack casually chose a recliner and sat down. The back of the recliner was adjustable and could be raised or lowered at any time.
However, with two clicks.
Two iron shackles sprang from the armrests of the recliner, directly locking his wrists.
Jack's mouth twitched.
"What's with this chair? If I can't move, how am I supposed to run?"
Ganyu stepped forward and said, "Well, these are some clever mechanisms I learned how to make from Liu Yun True Monarch."
"Who asked you about that..."
Jack was suddenly choked up.
It was rare for Ganyu to evade the question like this.
However, he considered his own strength extraordinary and didn't care about these details, speaking directly.
"Alright, whatever. Running doesn't require hands. Just bring out whatever tricks you have as soon as possible."
Everyone exchanged glances.
Acting Grand Master Jean stepped out from the ranks.
She displayed a paper marked with the number 1 in her hand; clearly, she was the first player to participate.
...
Since it was a marathon, spectators were naturally indispensable.
Lumine stood to the side, cheering on Acting Grand Master Jean.
"Acting Grand Master Jean, you can do it! Defeat the Demon King Jack! The future belongs to our Goddess Alliance!"
But not everyone was interested.
For example, Eula, blushing, averted her gaze and said to the remaining sisters.
"Ahem, I'm ranked 7th, so it's still early for me. Does anyone want to play a few rounds of Ludo first?"
"Me, me!"
Mona raised her hand: "My luck is too bad; I drew the 9th spot. If the ones before me run even a little slowly, I'll probably have to wait until after midnight."
"Relax, Amber, who's 10th, hasn't said anything."
Lisa, who was 3rd, comforted Mona.
However, Amber, standing nearby, was so aggrieved she was almost in tears.
Suddenly.
A tag marked with the 2nd position was handed to Amber.
"Eh?"
Amber looked curiously at the white-haired beauty in front of her.
"Here, take it. I don't care what position I am. My stamina is very good, and if I'm the last leg, I can be relatively more unrestrained."
Shen He's icy tone, yet she spoke words full of friendly warmth.
Amber felt as if the white-haired girl in front of her was an angel radiating light.
"Thank you, Miss Shen He, but it's okay, I don't mind!"
Amber declined Shen He's kind offer.
Everyone here was a sister.
The order was drawn by lot.
How could I be so rude as to exchange places with someone and get special treatment?
Shen He tilted her head.
She couldn't quite understand this emotion of wanting something but not going for it.
Wouldn't it be better to express your thoughts directly if you have them?
Unable to figure it out, she also sat to the side, watching the show with Lumine.
Waiting for her turn to arrive.
...
Jean was the first runner in this marathon relay race.
She persisted for about 40 minutes and completed the entire course.
Excluding warm-up time, she successfully ran 3 laps, while Jack only ran 1 lap.
The inexperienced Acting Grand Master Jean was completely at a disadvantage.
Without waiting for Jack to rest.
The second leg of the relay was taken over by Shen He.
Facing her sweat-soaked partner.
Shen He never knew what mercy was, going all out from the start.
She led the entire race for a full hour and a half as the dominant runner.
With her almost immortal-like strength and stamina, she ran a full 5 laps.
Meanwhile, Jack ran 8 laps.
Shen He, a complete victory!
Meeting the admiring gazes of her sisters, Shen He walked to the side and meditated.
She began to digest the Aralia Element Power within her body, which could enhance her strength, and at the same time, calm the somewhat uncontrollable violent emotions.
The third runner was Lisa.
Stamina was never the witch's strong suit.
Therefore, she resorted to cheating.
While running herself, she also released slight electric currents to attack her partner, causing a Superconduct reaction with his grass element.
Ultimately, she defeated Jack, who ran 3 laps, with a slight advantage of 2 laps.
The entire process only took a little over twenty minutes.
The fourth runner, Keqing, had the best synergy with Jack.
The two ran neck and neck, almost always reaching the finish line simultaneously; in half an hour, they both ran 3 laps.
The fifth runner, Ningguang, seemed to have gotten hooked on competing with Keqing.
With her powerful self-control and learning ability, she also reached the finish line simultaneously, taking almost the same amount of time as Keqing to run, but she ran a full 4 laps.
...
"Stop!!"
Jack spread his fingers, blocking Lumine, who was eagerly rushing towards his face.
"Can you let me rest for a bit?"
Although the consumption of energy and stamina could be replenished with Aralia Element Power.
Jack's satiety level had already dropped to 0.
Even if his recovery ability was abnormal, the health drain from the hunger debuff didn't reduce his HP.
But this empty stomach feeling was really unpleasant.
So he requested a halftime truce.
"No way~"
Lumine wagged her index finger.
"Once this match starts, it can't stop, you weakling? Husband~~"
