Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

The operation to repair the world barrier went smoothly, but it took a long time.

After Ying helped all the souls in He Guan who still clung to the mortal world to fulfill their obsessions and witnessed the boatmen using the Soul-Crossing Boat to take away all the souls, Su Feng had not yet completed the repair of the world barrier.

So when Ying returned to the island where the Golden King Beast was located, the first thing she saw was Ying meditating next to a large water droplet that had grown from the ground.

"Is this still not sorted out?"

After seeing that Ying had opened her eyes, Ying asked curiously.

"Yes, although we have the help of the authority held by that pure water spirit, repairing the world barrier is not a simple matter. However, I can feel that the world barrier is recovering at a steady pace. At least for now, this operation seems to be going smoothly."

"However, at this rate, it will probably still take several more days to completely repair this weak point."

Without the necessary means, the Shadow could only determine whether Su Feng's actions were going smoothly by sensing the state of the nearby world barrier, but at least for now, it seemed there were no major problems.

"As expected, gods and such may seem very impressive, but they must also be very tired. The idea of ​​working continuously for many days or even longer doesn't seem like something we could do."

After hearing Shadow's explanation, Paimon simply shrugged at Firefly, indicating that the work of a god is indeed not something an ordinary person can do.

Although there were times when Ying would continuously track a prey or opponent for a long period of time during her adventures, those jobs were at least just hard work of traveling, and there were even times to rest.

Repairing the world's barriers... no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a job that involves rest!

Working for such a long time all at once sounds exhausting.

Furthermore, considering the three realms they are currently experiencing—being a god generally seems quite easy, but when something really happens, it can be a devastating event that can completely shatter a person!

Moreover, at that time, the gods would be the first to rush to the scene.

It's true, no one has it easy in this world!

Paimon couldn't help but sigh, while Ying looked at Paimon with dead fish eyes, who seemed to have grasped some profound truth about life—where did she get the confidence and courage to sympathize with the gods?

Is this emergency food about to expire? Should I eat it before it expires?

......

Wow!

Just as Ying was pondering whether to teach Paimon a lesson so she would know that gods, creatures that usually seem very kind but can be terrifying at crucial moments, are not to be trifled with, a melodious sound of flowing water suddenly rang in everyone's ears. When everyone turned their attention to it, they were surprised to find Su Feng gradually emerging from the water sphere.

"?"

Ying, who had just sensed that the world barrier was still half-finished, was completely stunned when she saw Su Feng suddenly appear beside her. Subconsciously thinking that something had gone wrong, she instinctively sensed the world barrier around her and was surprised to find that the world barrier had been completely repaired at some point!

How is this going?

How did it accelerate so quickly all of a sudden?

Ying was shocked when she realized that the barrier to the world had indeed been repaired to the point where it was almost indistinguishable from other places. She stared in disbelief at Su Feng, who had emerged from the water sphere, her bright purple pupils seemingly trying to figure out what Su Feng had done this time.

However, out of respect for a powerful figure who was stronger than himself and had been kind to him and the entire Inazuma clan, the taciturn Kage swallowed his doubts again.

"Phew~ Not bad. I won't hang Wendy up this time when I get back... Oh well, let's see if he behaves himself first. If he doesn't, he still needs to be hung up!"

Having just returned to Teyvat from the outer reaches of the world, Su Feng took a deep breath of the elemental-rich air around him and muttered something under his breath. Although his voice wasn't loud, there wasn't a single ordinary person around, so everyone heard what he said.

Upon hearing that Su Feng was planning to hang Wendy up again, Ying and Paimon exchanged bewildered glances, but soon these two mischievous friends revealed excited expressions on their faces.

Based on their understanding of Wendy, were they expecting him to be honest?

How can you expect something that doesn't even exist? So, it's highly likely that Wendy is going to get a beating this time!

Thinking of this, Ying wished she could take out her camera right now and check it carefully. She wanted to find the best angle to help Wendy capture a beautiful memory. Anyway, Su Feng would definitely protect her, and Wendy's threat would probably be useless when facing Su Feng.

"Is everything here done?"

Compared to the two travelers who were preparing to see Wendy make a fool of herself, Shadow didn't really care about Su Feng's idea of ​​teaching his colleague a lesson—if it weren't for the fact that Wendy was so good at running, Shadow would often really want to take the initiative and slash at him first.

After all, even among the Seven Gods, Wendy is definitely the most hated type. If it weren't for his incredible speed, he would probably have been taught a lesson by the other six Gods long ago.

Therefore, Ying actually agreed with Su Feng's idea, but compared to such trivial matters, she cared more about Inazuma's comfort.

"Yes, this is all taken care of—and only here, you know what I mean."

As Su Feng gradually withdrew his power from the earth's veins, he gave Ying an affirmative answer, and Ying naturally understood what Su Feng meant.

After all, anyone with relevant knowledge would know that Teyvat is riddled with holes, so Shadow could understand that Su Feng would at most only slightly repair the breaches.

However, this is enough for Shadow, since as long as the Abyss doesn't suddenly emerge from here for a period of time afterward, it's fine.

As for the gaps in other places—there are naturally preparations in other places. The reason why this gap is important is that it has been discovered by the Abyss and has not been noticed or dealt with before.

"Thank you so much, you've saved Inazuma once again."

After Yandora reappeared with an even more powerful body of pure water and sang obsequiously in Su Feng's ear for a while before merging back into Su Feng's body, Ying expressed her gratitude once again.

"You're welcome, because I received more."

Su Feng ignored Ying's thanks. He gently raised his palm towards the sun, and between his fingers, a thin wisp of black mist was swirling.

The black mist was so thin, yet so conspicuous.

Su Feng was extremely satisfied with this.

Although they did not completely obtain another Herrscher Core, they did gain some of its power, and this black mist symbolizes... symbolizes death!

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Bard is About to Experience a Scene Recreation

This is the power of the Herald of Death!

After deeply engaging with, memorizing, and attempting to understand the power wielded by pure water, Su Feng unexpectedly obtained a portion of the power belonging to the Herrscher of Death.

Decomposition and reconstruction... The authority of water and the authority of the Herrscher of Death coincided unexpectedly to a large extent. Although Su Feng did not completely obtain the core of the Herrscher of Death because the authority held by Yandora was too small, he was able to establish a certain degree of connection and use a part of its power.

This was the biggest surprise for Su Feng.

Although the Herrscher of Death does not truly control life and death, and even the Reconstruction ability will only be used in a mess without sufficient knowledge and blueprint, it is still an extremely powerful force for Su Feng.

Previously, Su Feng was able to easily repair the world barrier here after obtaining the blueprint provided by Yandora, only after he had been able to use this power to a certain extent.

It must be said that the incomplete Herrscher of Death's power is far more powerful in this respect than the insignificant water power that Yandora possesses.

"A very powerful force!"

Although it was just a wisp of black mist swirling around Su Feng's fingers, Ying still keenly sensed a terrifying danger threatening her from it.

This is a power powerful enough to kill oneself in an instant, even if it seems weak now.

A martial artist's intuition made Ying instantly certain of this, but she quickly suppressed her instinctive vigilance.

Although this power is strong and dangerous, the person who wields it does not need to be wary of her.

Meanwhile, Ying noticed the black mist between Su Feng's fingers and her body instinctively began to sound an alarm. The fear that she might die if she touched even a little bit of it made her body tense up.

Ying also spent a lot of effort to barely suppress her instinct to run away.

Perhaps noticing the immense pressure his Herrscher of Death powers were putting on his companions, Su Feng quickly retracted the thin black mist. Once the mist disappeared, both Shadow and Fire couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"This power is far too dangerous. Is there really anyone who can deal with this level of ability?"

Even the celestial being Ying, who traverses the vast cosmos, couldn't help but wonder if such power was truly something mortals could contend with.

Considering Su Feng's other powers—just how many terrifying demons and monsters in the world can withstand this level of test?

In any case, Ying would never want to encounter such a world if she could, even though she is quite confident in her own power.

"Who knows? Anyway, I do have that power."

"Let's go back to Inazuma Castle now. I also have some things I want to ask Wendy."

Su Feng could understand the absurdity of the powers wielded by the Lawbreakers, but sometimes even more absurd things happened.

Human potential is always astonishing.

However, now is not the time to talk about such things. Now that the problem at Heguan has been resolved, there is no need for them to stay here any longer.

When Su Feng mentioned Wendy, Ying immediately put aside her previous doubts and fears, and couldn't help but reveal a sly smile. She was quite looking forward to what might happen next.

I wonder how Wendy plans to shirk responsibility or run away this time—but Ying thinks it won't be easy for Wendy to escape even if she wants to.

But in any case, there shouldn't be any problem with having some fun.

With this cheerful thought in mind, Ying decisively followed Su Feng and prepared to return to Daozu City.

......

"Ha! It's really nice to drink some wine from other countries occasionally. Inazuma sake does taste different from dandelion wine or apple cider."

After putting down his wine glass with a hearty sigh and letting out a long breath of alcohol, Wendy uttered this sentiment: ever since he handed Su Feng over to Ying, Su Feng had been staying in the castle tower like a lazy bum, while Zhen, who had been dealing with all sorts of messy government affairs, was quite resentful about the sudden appearance of this drunkard in his household.

It's one thing to drink with her, but to not even bring her along!

Unfortunately, I really couldn't find the time to teach this guy a lesson during this period. Moreover, I knew that if Wendy wanted to slip away, even she wouldn't stay. So in the end, I could only let my subordinates prepare a lot of sake to get this guy drunk and put an end to it.

Although she knew that getting Wendy drunk was probably out of the question.

Wendy could certainly sense that Shin disliked him, but it didn't bother him. Besides, Shin didn't just kick him out, but also provided unlimited sake, which was already quite a good deal for him.

Even just for that reason alone, Wendy would loudly praise it as truly great.

Moreover, although Su Feng was partly to blame for all of this, Su Feng was still his subordinate—even if it was just a subordinate in name only, he was still a subordinate, and as the Wind God, he still had some face.

Thinking of this, Wendy laughed even more heartily, but at this moment he also began to think about whether he should slip away while drinking heavily.

After all, Su Feng should be almost done with his problem. If he doesn't slip away now, he might not be able to escape later. If he could, Wendy wouldn't really want to relive the feeling of being hung up again.

Although he, as the Wind God, generally doesn't have much face, that doesn't mean he's truly indifferent to losing face.

If this happens too often, he'll occasionally feel a little embarrassed.

"Hmm, I guess I should just drink this one and run!"

After thinking it over, Wendy decided it would be better to run away now, but after glancing at the large amount of sake left beside him, he couldn't help but struggle again.

His financial situation isn't usually that good, so he doesn't often have the chance to drink so recklessly. If he doesn't drink his fill this time, he doesn't know when he'll have another chance like this.

He didn't think he'd have that kind of opportunity in Mondstadt or Liyue—no one in Mondstadt worshipped him as the Anemo Archon, and he wouldn't accept such offerings, while in Liyue...

Come on, if that street hustler continues to squander money so recklessly, he'll be lucky to pay off his debts with his salary before his master is buried. You know, there's no one in Liyue willing to pay his bills these days.

Therefore, Wendy was quite conflicted about giving up this opportunity to drink without restraint.

Fortunately, he won't have to worry about it for long.

The next moment, a cage made of a thin layer of black mist trapped the freedom-loving Lord of a Thousand Winds firmly in place.
