"How was I supposed to know this was a side effect..."
After saying that, his hand fell limp, and he completely fainted.
Gu Qian's mask tilted slightly: "This way of speaking... doesn't it sound familiar?"
Qingyu suddenly slapped his thigh: "Holy crap! Isn't that Bai Lu's classic verbal tic from 'Starry Sky Railway'?!"
His mask almost fell off because of his excitement.
"What on earth did that bastard Er Kang add to the potion?!"
Zhang Chu silently took off his mask, wiped it, and then silently put it back on.
Then he swung the thunder hammer—
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After three muffled thuds, the unconscious Er Kang was perfectly folded into a "Z" shape and thoughtfully stuffed into a crevice in the rock.
Little Ruo Tuo's eyes lit up: "This is fun! I want to play too!"
He then reached for Zhang Chu's hammer.
The three of them retreated in unison.
His personality has completely changed!
At that moment, a prescription slip suddenly floated out from the gap in Er Kang's folded body.
Qingyu used a twig to lift it up and take a look:
[Anti-wear agent formulation]
Basic materials: Glass bag x3, Tranquility x2
Special additive: Scale powder stolen from a certain white-haired dragon girl (Note: She chased me for eight blocks!).
Side effects: May cause...
(The following words were obscured by bloodstains)
The trio gasped in unison.
------
When the four of them, accompanied by a little brown-haired dragon girl, swaggered into Tiger-Eating Rock, the entire Liyue Harbor seemed to be put on pause.
The teacup in Zhongli's hand suddenly fell to the ground and shattered into eight pieces, splashing scalding tea everywhere.
D'Artagnan's tongue got tied in knots.
The old woman selling candied hawthorns trembled, and the entire candied hawthorn stick scattered all over the ground with a "crash".
The hawthorn at the very top hit Xiao Ruotuo squarely on the head, leaving a sugary strand stuck in her hair.
Little Ruotuo happily grabbed the sugar strands and stuffed them into his mouth, while his dragon tail slapped the ground joyfully.
The entire Liyue Harbor seemed to be frozen in time:
Ningguang, who was doing the accounting, broke the calligraphy brush in her hand;
Ke Qing stumbled and landed hard on her bottom in a flowerpot at the entrance of the Rebirth Hall;
The spears of the Thousand Rock Army fell to the ground with a clang.
The workers who were moving the goods loosened the rope, and the entire box of porcelain fell in slow motion...
"The Emperor has a daughter?!"
The silence was broken by a fishmonger's exclamation.
"Holy crap! Isn't that the Imperial Prince?!"
A scream came from Wanmintang, and Guoba was so startled that it spat out a string of sparks.
Qingyu's mask cracked open with a "snap": "Wait! Don't misunderstand! She is the Dragon King Ruotu! We just helped her heal the damage!"
The air froze for three seconds.
"Oh, she's not the Emperor's daughter..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's the Dragon King Ratna..."
Someone instinctively chimed in.
Immediately, the entire dock erupted in chaos:
"The Dragon King Nagata?!"
"The one that was carved by the Emperor himself?"
"From the legend of 'dotting the eyes of a dragon'?"
"Someone who fought in the Demon God War with the Emperor?!"
All eyes darted back and forth between the little girl munching on candy and the group of four behind her.
"and many more……"
The young female attendant at the funeral parlor timidly raised her hand.
"King Ruoduo...shouldn't it be..."
She made a huge gesture.
Hundreds of gazes shot towards the four of them.
Erkang's water-walking knight mask began to drip water. He silently moved his feet and hid his massive body behind Gu Qian.
Little Ruo Tuo suddenly sneezed, and with a "whoosh," a small flame burst forth, burning the roadside sign to ashes.
"Ah ha ha……"
Qingyu chuckled dryly and stepped back.
"Side effects... they're all side effects..."
"Sigh, feeling a bit tired..."
In the teahouse in the distance, Zhongli's hand, which was supporting his forehead, trembled slightly, and the teacup in his other hand had been crushed into powder at some point.
"Guest Elder! What's wrong?"
Hu Tao hopped over and followed Zhong Li's gaze.
"Wow! What an adorable little dragon girl! How about we consider our family package at the Rebirth Hall...?"
The teapot in Zhongli's hand also broke.
On the other side, Ying and Paimon stood on the roof, staring blankly at the magnificent scene before them.
"I thought they'd do something outrageous when they got back..."
Ying's ahoge (cowlick) had stood up like an exclamation mark.
"But I never expected it to be so explosive as to completely reshape Liyue's worldview..."
"Should we...pretend we don't know them?"
Paimon's little hands gripped Ying's clothes tightly, his voice trembling.
Ying slowly turned her head to look at the stunned ushers beside her; they were the people sent by Liyue to welcome them.
"At this moment..."
Ying's ahoge (cowlick) drooped limply.
"Are you kidding me?"
Chapter 23 "Morax": I died, oh dear, I'm alive again.
In the past few days, after experiencing the "Dragon King Loli Rampage Incident", the "Jade Pavilion Graffiti Contest" and the "Golden House Team Building Disaster", the Immortal Invocation Ceremony is finally about to begin.
In a corner of the Wanmintang service area, four Hilichurls were whispering and plotting in Hilichurl.
"Morax will fake his death soon."
Qingyu lowered his voice and said, "A shed skin will fall onto the offering table. What should we do?"
Erkang's mask suddenly lit up with an evil expression: "Of course, we'll ruin Zhongli's entire plan!"
He slammed his hand on the table in excitement, causing the bowls and chopsticks on the next table to clang loudly.
"Isn't that just a molting skin? Let's make it look real!"
"Do you think the Thousand Rock Army is a pushover?"
Zhang Chu complained, "To cause trouble right under so many people's noses..."
The three of them fell into deep thought at the same time.
At this moment, Gu Qian's Thunder King mask suddenly lit up with a light bulb, and he took out a stone with a simple picture of a rat drawn on it from behind his back.
"A rat charm?!"
The three of them spoke in unison, almost falling off their stools.
This is one of the twelve talismans from "Jackie Chan Adventures," possessing the power to transform stillness into movement.
"Hey hey hey-"
The four Hilichurls simultaneously let out villainous laughter, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped ten degrees.
The guests at the next table shuddered. One businessman, who was eating boiled fish, was so startled that he choked on a fish bone.
"When the skin peels off..."
Qingyu made a gesture to activate the talisman.
"We will then……"
Er Kang imitates the movements of a dragon awakening.
"Let Zhongli..."
