Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 29 The commission that came after me?
"Your Highness, you are here?"

A middle-aged man of medium build and a very shrewd look walked out of the open door of the hotel. He greeted Xue Qinghe respectfully and welcomed them in.

"Your Highness, what would you like to eat today?"

Several people were quickly taken to a luxurious private room and sat down. After the man poured tea for each of them, he bowed and asked.

"Manager Mu, please serve all the signature dishes. I brought my friends here today to try the cooking here. Don't let me down."

Xue Qinghe thought about it and decided that since it was the first time he invited Kong and the others to dinner, it naturally had to be grand.

"Okay, I'll arrange it myself. If you or your guests have any further instructions, please let the maid at the door tell me."

Manager Mu nodded, walked out of the private room and closed the door.

"Qinghe, order everything. It's very expensive, right?"

When Paimeng saw Manager Mu go out, he flew to Xue Qinghe and whispered.

"It's okay, you can eat as much as you want, don't be afraid."

Xue Qinghe waved his hand confidently. It was just a meal. How much could a small creature like Paimeng eat?
"Hey, good!"

When Paimeng saw that this man was really rich, he immediately shouted happily.

"By the way, Paimon, I don't have anything else to do right now. Can you tell me a little about your journey?"

"Hey? Sure."

Since he was free anyway, Paimeng took out a pair of glasses from somewhere and put them on his face, looking like a teacher teaching a class.

Except for Kong, Xue Qinghe and Yu Keke left their seats and stood close to Paimeng, both pairs of eyes filled with curiosity about their journey.

"Hmm~ Where should I start? Let me think... Let's start from where the wind rises..."

Paimon recalled and told the story of his journey with the traveler.

"At that time, Mondstadt was ruled by the Lone King of the Tower, and all the people had lost their freedom...

At this moment, the wind god Barbatos stood up and led the people of Mond to overthrow the brutal rule of the old nobles, granting freedom to all Mond citizens...

Since then, in order to better venerate the wind god Barbatos, people have specially built a huge stone statue in Mondstadt that looks exactly like him to commemorate him.

"Barbatos, the God of Wind..."

Xue Qinghe murmured in his heart, while his eyes kept glancing towards the sky outside.

Why does the story Paimon tells sound so much like what he did at the auction house?
With this association, he felt extremely terrified.

Both seem to have the same approach to things.

All of this is to help the people overthrow those inequalities and fight for their freedom.

It’s just that the Barbatos that Paimon mentioned was leading the people of a country, while he was leading the slaves here.

Could it be that he is actually the Wind God that Paimon mentioned? Under his rule, the country has regained its freedom and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. That's why he takes Paimon on tours and continues to help those in need...

Xue Qinghe felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary, and hurriedly covered his mouth, fearing that he would lose control and ask.

If this is true, then there must be a deeper meaning behind his hiding his original identity.

You shouldn't ask too many questions, so as not to destroy the hidden secrets.

"Wow, Lord Barbatos is just like my brother, he's doing this for the people..."

Yu Keke didn’t think too much in her little head. Things like soul power level and gods were not clearly defined in her little head.

She only knew that Barbatos, like her brother, was someone who helped the poor. "What else?"

Seeing that Paimeng had finished drinking the tea in front of him, Xue Qinghe immediately picked up the teapot and refilled her cup, then asked.

"Hehe~ What I'm going to talk about next is a big one, a very big and brutal one..."

Paimeng raised his little hand and gestured, Xue Qinghe listened very carefully, and Yu Keke was a little afraid of the brutal big guy that Paimeng was talking about.

"It wasn't originally evil. It was one of the Four Guardians of the Winds that protected Mondstadt. However, it was corrupted by the abominable Abyss, becoming extremely poisonous and its temperament changed drastically..."

"After a fierce battle, we and the Wind God controlled it together. Then the Traveler sucked out the poison containing the power of the Abyss from Tevarin's body..."

"Later, Tevarin returned to normal and quietly protected the land out of sight..."

Tevalin?
Is this big guy that Paimeng is talking about a soul beast?
Could it be that in other countries, gods and soul beasts can cooperate peacefully, and soul beasts are willing to be the gods' followers?
Xue Qinghe listened and thought, and suddenly realized something, and asked:
"Hey, Paimon, that abyssal toxin can affect Tevarin. What will happen if the Traveler absorbs it? Will he be in trouble?"

Xue Qinghe looked nervous when he said this.

He believed that the Traveler and the Wind God were actually the same person, but Paimon deliberately said they were two people at Sora's instruction.

Otherwise, why would the injured Guardian of the Four Winds, Tevalin, the follower of the Wind God, allow travelers to touch it...

"Of course the Traveler is fine. The toxins from the Abyssal Power have no effect on him. He's very strong."

After Paimon finished speaking, he straightened his body proudly and said, "If the Traveler is strong, then Paimon is strong!"

"Wow, brother is so awesome..."

Yu Keke stole a glance at the dazed Kong, and her admiration for him grew even stronger.

"..."

The power of the abyss, which can corrode the soul beasts of the gods, has no effect on him at all. Doesn't this further prove that he is the God of Wind...

Xue Qinghe once again confirmed the theory in his mind.

Now he has only one question, that is, the little Paimon who is telling him stories, she is a traveler's companion, so who is her true identity?

This harmless-looking girl in front of me is definitely not her true face.

"Huh? This guest is..."

At this moment, Manager Mu's puzzled voice came from outside the door, attracting the attention of several people.

With a creak, the door of the private room opened, and Manager Mu poked his head in and asked doubtfully:

"Your Highness, is this Poison Douluo Monarch also your guest?"

Anyone who can get the position of manager of the Spirit Hall's affiliated industries must be a smart person.
They have carefully studied all the prominent figures in Tiandou City.

The person standing outside the door right now is Dugu Bo, who is known as Poison Douluo!

“…” Xue Qinghe looked confused.

“…” Dugu Bo looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"...Old man, please come in and talk."

Sora, who had been sitting there drinking tea and listening to Paimon's story, suddenly spoke up.

In his elemental vision, the blue light spot on Yu Keke's head had disappeared, and instead the person who came in at this time had a blue light spot on his head.

What's going on? I've been working as a laborer in Teyvat for so long, and this is the first time I've seen a commission chasing me...
