Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

"You bastard! I'm out there working so hard to repair the world barrier, and you're here having a good time drinking? Don't you have any conscience at all?"

Su Feng, who suddenly appeared in front of Wendy, began to berate the heartless guy for his terrible behavior.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Successful Reproduction, Photos Left Behind

"Um... that... there's no need for that, I didn't mean to!"

When Wendy saw Su Feng, who had suddenly appeared in front of her with a blank expression, and Ying, who had already picked up the phonograph and started to secretly laugh, her face fell. Ying, the only one who seemed to be somewhat serious, simply glanced at Wendy after seeing this scene and then left without hesitation.

She needs to go find her older sister first.

After all, with two large islands, Heguan and Qinglai Island, waiting to be redeveloped, the time would likely be delayed considerably if the relevant supplies and personnel were not prepared in advance.

Inazuma desperately needs to recover, and the two large islands that have been cleared of all obstacles are a godsend—the large group of nobles and bureaucrats who were captured by Shin now have a place to go.

After all, these two places have been uninhabited for a long time, so they can be considered new places. The initial clearing will naturally consume a lot of manpower. Rather than cutting down those useless guys all at once, it is better to make use of them and send them to these two places.

Even if it dies, it can still add some fertilizer to the new island.

So she needed to quickly discuss this matter with her older sister. As for Wendy...

Anyway, this is an internal matter of Mondstadt, how can a goddess like Inazuma interfere?

However, if Venti wants to see a completely different view of Inazuma and Mondstadt from the castle tower, Shadow would be happy to oblige, even if the time spent enjoying the scenery makes the castle tower less of an eyesore.

This can be considered Inazuma's support for his colleagues!

Moreover, the photo-taking device that the traveler has seems quite nice. I wonder if I can ask for a photo or two later to keep as a souvenir?

With this in mind, Shadow left decisively, leaving Wendy with no hope whatsoever.

......

When Shadow, the only hope she could have, left without a second thought, Wendy knew she was doomed.

Wendy, who had previously removed his remote sensing ability when Su Feng began repairing the World Barrier out of concern that he might notice, is now truly regretting it.

Sure enough, Su Feng would do something unexpected without you even noticing.

The fact that they were able to complete the repair of the world barrier at a speed far exceeding his expectations, and then seize him directly, clearly indicates that they have mastered some new ability.

The thin layer of black mist surrounding him that sent chills down his spine was clearly a manifestation of Su Feng's new ability.

So, the powers wielded by Herrschers are a bit too overpowered, right? Is this level of test really something that ordinary people can overcome?

Wendy asked the same question as Ying, but unfortunately he didn't dare to openly complain to Su Feng that the world was bugged.

He didn't even bother to complain; instead, he couldn't help but smile ingratiatingly at the expressionless Su Feng in front of him.

He was still being held in Su Feng's hands. The Lord of Thousand Winds, who had been invincible when facing the gods, could only rely on his skillful flattery and eloquence when facing the cage that bound him.

“Great and benevolent servant of the wind, what do you need to command this bard? If you need anything, this humble bard will do his utmost.”

It can only be said that Wendy's speed in yielding after being taken advantage of exceeded Su Feng's expectations. It's just a pity that even now, this guy has no intention of being obedient.

It's obvious he doesn't intend to tell the truth.

Therefore, Su Feng did not intend to fall for his act and instead prepared to communicate in a more direct way.

"You better tell me the truth, or I'll hang you up right now!"

With a wave of his hand, Su Feng conjured a long rope made of pure wind element from the air. As he swung the rope, he looked at Wendy with ill intent, as if he wished he could hang Wendy up right now.

"Wow! Don't just start a fight without warning! Even if you want to teach me a lesson, ask me a question first!"

"Even if I want to confess, you have to let me know what I'm going to confess. You can't expect me to start by talking about forging the Rock God's signature, can you?"

Seemingly startled, Wendy started spouting nonsense, while Ying and Paimon, who were watching the drama unfold, exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing this—was the first piece of gossip this heavyweight?

Wait, the important thing is that Wendy seems to be completely unharmed after forging Zhongli's signature, right?

The seemingly rigid Zhongli didn't teach this guy a lesson? This is enough to trigger a battle of gods, isn't it?

It has to be said that Wendy's method of changing the subject was indeed very clever. Ying and Paimon almost subconsciously shifted their attention to the fact that Wendy had forged Zhongli's signature. Unfortunately, Su Feng was completely unmoved by this.

"Humph!"

"I think you're really stubborn and won't admit defeat until you're faced with the ultimate goal!"

"Don't worry, even if Inazuma's medical industry isn't very advanced, it doesn't matter. I will personally take you to Bubu's Lodge in Liyue. If Bubu's Lodge can't save you, I'll take you to the Hall of Rebirth. If you really feel that the Hall of Rebirth is not suitable for your status, that's fine too."

"I suppose Zhongli Keqing wouldn't mind taking on this job."

"Even though that boatman just left Heguan, it shouldn't be a problem to ask him to come down again. A soul-ferrying boat that hasn't appeared in the mortal world for a long time should be considered overkill for a 'bard', right?"

When Su Feng said this, he emphasized the words "bard poet" very much.

Wendy, who was being directly threatened, gave a sheepish smile, but her eyes kept darting around, and she didn't look like she was going to confess honestly.

"..."

"Fine! You're so stubborn, aren't you!"

Su Feng, amused by Wendy's appearance, couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile. Since Wendy seemed prepared to be hung up and whipped, why should he be so polite?

It would be terrible to disappoint one's own god. As a member of the family, one should at least try to understand the good intentions of one's own god!

With this 'idea' in mind, Su Feng simply swung the long rope in his hand, and then the long rope, which was made entirely of wind element, skillfully tied Wendy back into a caterpillar, and then directly hung the guy on the roof beam.

"Crack!"

Just as Wendy was waiting with a look of utter despair for her to be hoisted to the designated position, Ying, who had been waiting for this scene for quite some time, pressed the shutter at just the right moment.

Yes, everything is just right.

.

Chapter Sixty-Seven Wendy: Help me, help me!

After giving Wendy one last souvenir, Ying decisively left with Paimon as well—although it was unclear what Su Feng would talk to Wendy about next, it was obviously going to involve their private conversations.

Even though she was a little curious, Ying wouldn't make things difficult for her friend, so she decided to leave first—but perhaps she could come back and take a few more photos after Su Feng finished dealing with things here?

At worst, we can just give Wendy a bigger share!

"Ying, don't go! Help me! Help me!"

Seeing that Ying had also left him so decisively, Wendy became really anxious. Hanging from the rafters, he began to wriggle like a caterpillar and tried to hold Ying back. Unfortunately, upon hearing Wendy's call, both Ying and Paimon quickened their pace and left.

Paimon even thoughtfully closed the door when he left.

Yes, that's really thoughtful.

Su Feng nodded in satisfaction at Paimon's actions, but Wendy was stunned and stood there dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.

You bastard Paimon, how could you do such a vicious thing?!

Wendy couldn't help but think of this, but unfortunately, he didn't even have the chance to express his protest now.

Because Su Feng had already appeared before him with a rather terrifying smile.

"Um... I think you can put me down first, and we can talk about your questions slowly!"

"I will definitely tell the truth."

When Wendy looked into Su Feng's piercing eyes, she couldn't help but stammer, and even her tightly bound body seemed to tremble.

He looked as if the thing standing in front of him was some kind of demon that could devour him.

"If you had told even a single truth, I would never have done this now."

Unfortunately, Su Feng wasn't buying Wendy's skillful act of feigning helplessness at all.

"Wow! That's a bit hurtful. I've never lied!"

"At most, it's just that I didn't finish what I said!"

Wendy was quite dissatisfied with Su Feng's accusations, and even gave a righteous rebuttal, saying that she could not be considered to be lying.

At most, it's just deception!

"!"

Wendy's self-righteous demeanor left Su Feng completely dumbfounded, but when he came to his senses, his fingers were trembling with anger.

"Do you have any shame at all???"

"You're quite proud of yourself?"

"Is this something a worldly ruler should say?"

Even though he thought he knew Wendy quite well, Su Feng was still completely dumbfounded by Wendy this time.

"Of course it is! The old man even goes shopping without money!"

Perhaps because Su Feng seemed genuinely angry, Wendy could only silently repeat those words to herself.

Even though he was somewhat resentful, Su Feng seemed to be already quite angry with him, so he didn't want to add fuel to the fire. Therefore, he couldn't help but put on a flattering smile.

"Why don't you put me down first? I promise I'll answer your questions honestly this time."

Wendy felt she could still salvage the situation; all she had to do was answer the questions honestly, no big deal!

"Hmph! You think you can just sit still? I don't believe Zhongli will ever pay for things normally again!"

Unfortunately, Su Feng didn't trust Wendy's attempts to please him at all; he had finally seen through Wendy's true nature.

Su Feng was even certain that Wendy would honestly answer his questions, but as long as he didn't ask, the guy definitely wouldn't tell.

It can only be said that Wendy truly deserves to be called the best bard in the world; his eloquence is unmatched by ordinary people.

"You'd better keep me hanging for now. If I get a satisfactory answer, I'll naturally let you go."

"Now... first explain to me why you came to Inazuma—I need to know your true purpose!"

Su Feng asked his question with a cold face, but Wendy, who did not expect Su Feng to try to expose all her secrets right away, immediately made a bitter face.

"The first thing I did upon arriving here was to check if things had stabilized on the Inazuma side. After all, those evil gods did cause quite a stir before, and at the beginning, the entire Teyvat lost its sense of Inazuma."

"So making sure that nothing uncontrollable happens on Inazuma's side is my top priority."

"In fact, my most important task in this world is to identify where an uncontrollable problem occurs, gather the specific details as soon as possible, and determine how to deal with it."

Under Su Feng's piercing gaze, Wendy finally obediently confessed her mission.
