"Huh? Miyashiro, what are you holding in your arms? Why does it look a bit like a..."
Miyashiro quickly stepped forward and covered Ningguang's small mouth, stopping him from saying the name of that race, which might have caused Azhdaha to go berserk.
Unfortunately, although Miyashiro stopped Ningguang, he couldn't stop the blunt and outspoken Keqing nearby.
Keqing said in surprise, "Miyashiro, where did you pick up this puppy? Hey, it's actually a bit ugly."
Miyashiro felt a sense of foreboding upon hearing this. Sure enough, the next moment, Azhdaha in Miyashiro's arms felt deeply insulted. He was a dignified Geo Dragon King, yet he had been called a dog and even told he was ugly; this was simply too much bullying for a dragon.
Azhdaha opened his mouth wide and barked aggressively at Keqing. Fearing that he might start speaking human language the next moment, Miyashiro quickly pressed his mouth shut. Azhdaha flailed wildly in Miyashiro's arms, creating an awkward scene.
It had taken a lot of persuasion to get Azhdaha to transform into his current super-miniature form. However, looks really are related to size. If one had a mountain-like physique, even if one looked like Peppa Pig, one would still exude dominance. But if one shrank to the size of a Paw Patrol character, one could only say this little thing looked quite exquisite.
That was how Azhdaha was now; his miniature form combined with his ugly-cute appearance gave him a French Bulldog vibe. However, Ningguang, whose standards were exceptionally high, immediately sensed that the little creature in Miyashiro's arms was no ordinary being.
After finally calming Azhdaha down, Miyashiro smiled at Ningguang and said, "Since Ningguang hasn't been able to leave the Jade Chamber lately, I thought I'd find something to keep you entertained. I just happened to buy it. The seller said its name is Tuotuo. It doesn't shed, doesn't need to be walked, uses the toilet on its own, likes to sleep, has a good temperament, and is easy to take care of. As for food, it's not picky; just feed it whatever you usually eat."
Keqing looked at the puppy in front of him suspiciously and said, "A good temperament? The way it looked just now didn't seem like it had a good temperament at all. It won't bite people, will it?"
Miyashiro rolled his eyes and said, "It understands human nature. It was angry because you said it was ugly. If someone said you were ugly, wouldn't you be angry?"
Upon hearing this, Keqing was instantly furious and said, "I am naturally beautiful. Who would be so blind as to call me ugly?"
Miyashiro shrugged and said, "See, you get angry too, so why can't Tuotuo be angry? Among his species, he is considered a handsome fellow."
Keqing's first reaction was that it actually made some sense, but he quickly realized that Miyashiro was comparing him to a dog. How could he be compared to a dog?
Keqing didn't want to argue with Miyashiro. After a cold snort, he claimed to be busy with work, told Miyashiro to fulfill his duties as a husband, and hurried away.
Miyashiro put Tuotuo down, letting it familiarize itself with the environment, leaving only Miyashiro and Ningguang.
At this moment, Ningguang finally asked, "Alright, can you tell me the true identity of that Tuotuo now?"
Miyashiro smiled and said, "Oh? You figured it out?"
Ningguang retorted, "You are the Inazuma Regent, one of the top powerhouses in Teyvat. How could you possibly do something meaningless?"
Miyashiro: "Fine, I admit it. That is a bodyguard I found for you. You don't need to take too much care of it on a daily basis, just make sure its meals are well served. The Uchiha Clan's bloodline is now famous, and since you refuse to accompany me to Inazuma, I had to ask a friend in Liyue for help just in case."
Ningguang frowned and said, "A friend in Liyue? Is it some Adeptus? Although my strength is not as great as yours, aren't you being too cautious? I possess Adeptus-level combat power myself, plus the Jade Chamber as a lethal weapon, and the status of the Liyue Qixing. Who would dare to harm me in Liyue Harbor? Liyue is now ruled by humans, and yet I, the Tianquan, require an Adeptus to guard me? Don't you think that's absurd?"
Miyashiro sighed, "One must always be on guard. I'm not worried about combat power below Adeptus-level; what I worry about is God-level combat power attacking you. Although your Jade Chamber possesses a God-level strike, the wind-up time is too long. You don't need to worry; it is not an Adeptus of Liyue, so the situation you mentioned doesn't apply. If you won't accept protection from a Liyue Adeptus, can you accept protection from your husband?"
Hearing this, Ningguang finally softened his expression and said, "That's more like it. However, is there anyone in Liyue today who possesses combat power capable of rivaling a God?"
Thinking of this, Ningguang suddenly had a disrespectful guess. He looked at Tuotuo, who was sniffing around, and his eyes became increasingly complex.
Family, who understands? Lord Rex Lapis, revered by thousands, is suspected to have turned into my dog. What should I do?
It was not strange that Ningguang could think of this. Miyashiro had just said it was a friend in Liyue and possessed God-level combat power. In Ningguang's impression, only Lord Rex Lapis could satisfy these two conditions. However, with the status of the old Lord, how could he possibly do such a thing? Could it be that there are other reclusive powerhouses in Liyue?
Ningguang felt that he would have to check some records later. Could it be that besides Lord Rex Lapis, there were other reclusive powerhouses in Liyue?
Ningguang: "What level have you actually reached now? How much more are you hiding from me?"
Miyashiro smirked, "These are all Inazuma secrets. As long as you obediently return to Inazuma with me, I can tell you everything."
Ningguang rolled his eyes at Miyashiro with a charming look and smiled, "Look at you. When I've had enough of being one of the Qixing, I'll go live the life of a little woman with you. By the way, take me out for a stroll. In order to hide the secret of my pregnancy, I haven't left the Jade Chamber since I started showing. Even the most beautiful scenery becomes boring if you see it every day. I never thought that the Jade Chamber, which once made me so proud, would one day become a cage that imprisons me. How ironic."
Miyashiro heard this and said with some heartache, "Sure, is there anywhere you want to go?"
Ningguang thought for a moment, "Liyue Harbor and Wangsheng Inn are definitely out; the foot traffic is too high, and it's easy to be recognized by the public. As for Jueyun Karst, with those three Adepti there, you certainly wouldn't want to take me there. Since that's the case, let's go for a stroll in Lisha."
Miyashiro: "Alright, let's go to Lisha."
After saying this, Miyashiro wrapped his arms around Ningguang's soft, warm body. The space behind him instantly twisted, and the next moment, the two figures disappeared from the Jade Chamber.
Meanwhile, Azhdaha, who witnessed everything from the side, turned a blind eye. Following the scent, he walked straight towards the kitchen inside the Jade Chamber.
