The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 189 Walnut's Action

The sun rises as usual on a new day. Today, Hu Tao got up early on purpose, went to the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror and yawned lazily. Hu Tao casually wiped her fair and smooth face with cold water.

The cold water splashed on her face gradually turned into a few drops of water while washing away her sleepiness. Perhaps the skin on Walnut's face was too smooth, and these few drops of water playfully slipped through the collar into the inside of Walnut's "plain".

A slight chill passed through the skin on her chest and reached her brain. The sudden stimulation made Hu Tao's body tremble. The last trace of sleepiness disappeared from her body along with the few drops of water absorbed by her clothes.

She wiped her face hastily with Ruojin's towel, stretched her gradually awakening body, and shouted out the words Ying had taught her with full energy, the words that were said to keep people busy all day long.

"Well, today is also a day full of hope!"

Looking at Hu Tao's rather fair and tender little face filled with youthful vitality, Ying, who considered herself to be a young and beautiful girl like Hu Tao, touched her own face while chewing the fisherman's toast in her mouth. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect or because she had been too busy with commissions recently and had not had enough rest, but Ying felt that her skin had become much worse than before.

Alas, although the girl's skin is always smooth and tender, necessary maintenance is still needed. It seems that after returning to Liyue after the Wine Festival, she will need to find Miss Ying'er to inquire about skin care cosmetics. She doesn't want to change from an 18-year-old beautiful girl to a 19-year-old beautiful girl.

While lamenting Hu Tao's youthful beauty and her own deteriorating skin, Ying was also a little curious. Why did Hu Tao get up so early? Hu Tao had clearly said yesterday that she wanted to have a good time in Mondstadt with Ruo Jin and Klee today. How come today, when Ruo Jin and Klee haven't even gotten up yet, Hu Tao looks like she's just finished washing up and is about to go out? Is Hu Tao going to issue some commission?
That's not right. If Walnut really wants to issue a commission, why not just come to her, Ying? Although she made an appointment with the mysterious guy named Dainsleb in the Angel's Gift yesterday to go out together today, if Walnut gives the commission to her, she will definitely complete it. There is no need to go out so early to the Adventurer's Guild. So Ying asked with doubts and kindness.

"Good morning, Kurumi. What brings you out so early? I can help you if you need any."

"Ying, Paimon, good morning. I slept so well last night that I couldn't fall asleep this morning, so I wanted to go to Mondstadt's Cathedral of West Winds to take a look. Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon."

Walnut blinked and snatched a bite of fisherman's toast from Paimon's hand. Amid Paimon's dissatisfied voice, Walnut quickly left home.

Looking at Hu Tao's back, Ying felt that things might not be as simple as Hu Tao said. After thinking for a while, she really couldn't figure out why Hu Tao was going to West Wind Cathedral. Ying simply stopped thinking about it. There would be no danger in West Wind Cathedral anyway, so Hu Tao could go. She should think about what the guy named Dainsleb said yesterday.

In Ying's opinion, a guy who has lived for a long time and looks very mysterious and is also a riddle man must have some secrets hidden behind him, just like Dr. Kelsey whom she met in Rhodes Island before, who fits this characteristic very well.

If the mobile emoticon named Fahualin had not accidentally let it slip when he wanted her blood during the physical examination, Ying would never have imagined that Kelsey's age was actually over four digits.

As for the mysterious man named Dainsreb whom she met yesterday, although Ying was not sure about how long he lived, it seemed that Dainsreb was mysterious and a riddle man. In order to find out the secrets behind Dainsreb and what Dainsreb meant by yesterday's words, Ying chose to go out exploring with Dainsreb on the eve of the Wine Festival, a day full of high-paying commissions.

She hoped that Dainsreb was not a madman who wanted to overthrow the current Seven Kingdoms. Recalling Dainsreb's disgust towards the current Seven Gods in the Angel's Gift yesterday, Ying felt that her originally planned journey seemed to have a little disturbance.

Looking at Paimeng who was trying to snatch the fisherman's toast from her hand, with a hint of stupidity in his clear eyes, Ying sighed helplessly. If she had time, she might go and ask Zhongli to learn some swordsmanship from him.

As the journey progresses, the enemies she faces will certainly become stronger and stronger. If she does not learn some sword skills and relies solely on elemental power to fight, it will be a question whether she can protect Paimon during the journey.

While Ying and Paimon were fighting over the fisherman's toast, Hu Tao, who had already ordered two servings of Bolognese noodles for Ying and Paimon at the Deer Hunter Restaurant and would be delivered to Ruojin's house soon, had arrived at the Cathedral of West Wind.

There were not many people in the church. Apart from a few Mond people praying here, there were only a few nuns maintaining order. Among these nuns, the one with the water-attributed Eye of God on her body attracted Walnut's attention.

From a man nearby who was looking at the nun with extremely fiery eyes, Walnut learned that the nun's name was Barbara, and she was a kind-hearted nun with a very good temper. The man's introduction made Walnut suddenly perk up. Isn't this the perfect nun in her plan?

So Walnut immediately took a few steps forward and came in front of Barbara. Barbara, who had just finished praying, was about to sneak to a deserted place to drink a sip of spicy drink, but Walnut suddenly appeared in front of her and scared Barbara.

Seeing that the girl in front of her was not from Mondstadt due to her clothes, Barbara suddenly felt curious about her. This curiosity was not only because the girl had a pair of unique plum blossom eyes, but also because this was one of the few foreigners that Barbara had seen inside West Wind Cathedral so early in her long time as a nun.

"How can I help you?"

A gentle voice came out of Barbara's throat. As a nun, she would treat everyone seriously, regardless of whether they were from Mond or not. There would be no difference, except for those annoying Faints.

Barbara took a look at the Fatui who appeared inside the Cathedral of Favonius early in the morning and felt that her good mood of the day had disappeared a lot. These Fatui stayed in the Cathedral of Favonius all day long. Barbara and other nuns had reported this to the Knights of Favonius more than once, but the Knights of Favonius could not do anything about these Fatui. After all, Mond's laws did not forbid Fatui to stay in the Cathedral of Favonius.

"Hehe, it's nothing, Miss Nun. I just want to ask if Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, needs to reserve a ceremony to send the immortals? We are having an event at the Hall of Rebirth. If you reserve today, you can get a 30% discount~"
