Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

Hearing Paimon's sentiments, Ying thought it wasn't a bad thing. After all, Xin Hai had said that the 'Three Realms Road Festival' wasn't just a simple festival of eating and drinking. Moreover, Haiqi Island hadn't held the 'Three Realms Road Festival' for a long time, and some related ancient books had even been lost. If that were the case, Xin Hai wouldn't have bothered to call Ying over out of concern for potential problems.

However, before Ying could be happy for long, she saw two people who shouldn't have been there. With their appearance, Ying began to consider how to take back what she had just said.

Because what she saw was Wendy, who was rushing down from the sky with a happy face. After seeing Wendy, who shouldn't have been there in the first place, Ying's gaze almost subconsciously swept towards the sky, and then she saw Su Feng, who was following not far behind Wendy with a strange expression.

It was only after seeing Su Feng that Ying had such terrible thoughts. This was not because Ying looked down on her friend, but because it was an undeniable reality—after all, Su Feng had already appeared, could things really continue peacefully here?

Or, to put it another way, when Su Feng arrives at a certain place, everything will be peaceful and nothing will happen.

This guy will cause big problems wherever he goes, okay?

Chapter Fifteen: No food left!

"Ahem, Wendy, Su Feng, what brings you here? Is something going wrong here too? Or is there a problem with this Three Realms Road Sacrifice?"

In fact, Ying wasn't the only one who saw Su Feng as a disaster warning device. Paimon, who had already become familiar with Wendy and Su Feng, instinctively asked the same question upon seeing them. However, Paimon quickly realized what he had said and immediately covered his mouth.

After all, it's one thing to say certain things in private, but it's a bit awkward to say them in front of someone.

Upon hearing Paimon's words, Su Feng was both angry and amused, but fortunately, he didn't do anything to this outspoken guy.

"You... never mind, we came here because Wendy said that Fuchishita Palace is very important to me, so I came."

"As for what will happen here, I'm not entirely sure, since I don't know much about Yuanxia Palace."

"If you have any questions, just ask Wendy!"

Faced with Ying's doubts, Su Feng simply shrugged and said not to bother him.

After all, he was just someone who had been tricked into coming here. If there were any problems, he should just ask Wendy. However, after hearing Su Feng's words, Ying glanced at Wendy and then decisively chose to avoid the topic.

Regardless of what happens next, the fact that Su Feng and Wendy have arrived means that there shouldn't be any problems that can't be solved.

And how about getting the answer out of Wendy?

Forget it, even Ying has no expectations for this, after all, Wendy is a master at pretending to be confused.

Ying didn't think she could get any useful information out of Wendy.

"Hey, actually, there's no need for everyone to worry so much. This problem shouldn't be too serious."

Faced with everyone's gaze, Wendy once again pretended to be deaf and dumb. Clearly, expecting him to tell everyone what was going to happen before it occurred was just wishful thinking.

"How about we have a meal together first? But since not much food can be grown on Haizhi Island, there aren't many things to eat~"

Regardless of what happens next, since we've all met, let's have a little get-together and have some fun first.

More importantly, Ying felt that if she didn't have a good meal now, she might not be able to eat well for a while, so she planned to indulge herself one last time—of course, considering the situation on Haizhi Island and the number of people on the island, how much she could eat in this meal was also something to consider.

Most likely, all that's left to fill their stomachs are various kinds of sea fish and seaweed, right?

This was Ying's only worry.

......

In fact, Ying's worries were unnecessary, because she soon discovered that due to the large number of people participating in the 'Three Realms Road Festival' in a short period of time, the entire Sea Spirit Island was almost overloaded.

So Ying encountered a small problem—Haiji Island already had few restaurants and such due to a lack of resources, and now it suddenly had to accommodate so many people, so anyone can imagine what the situation was like.

Want something nice to eat?

Forget about it! You won't even get to eat a small fish!

Even though Ying had already built up a high reputation on Haizhi Island, with everyone having very little food left, she could only manage to get a few small, still-living fish by using her reputation.

"..."

"So if we want to get some food, are we supposed to go out into the sea to catch fish ourselves?"

Wendy was stunned when he saw the few small fish that Ying was holding in her hand, which were barely enough for one person to eat. He had originally wanted to ask if he could get some wine, but now, let alone wine, he would probably have to make his own way to get something to fill his stomach.

liqueur?

What are you thinking!

"I'm sorry, but there's really not much food left on Haizhi Island right now. And I've seen that even the beach is full of all sorts of people fishing... Xinhai said that he has already pleaded with Narukami Island to urgently send some supplies over, but even so, we'll have to wait until tomorrow, and they will most likely still choose to implement a rationing system."

Seeing Wendy's almost desperate expression, Ying looked even more embarrassed.

I was just saying I was going to treat people, but now I can't even let my friends have a meal. That's a bit awkward.

"This is not a problem. Eating and drinking are meaningless to us anyway, so there is no need for us to worry too much about it."

Compared to Wendy's face full of despair, Su Feng didn't care too much. Just as he said, eating and drinking were meaningless to them, who had long since transcended ordinary people. But if Ying and Paimon didn't eat, they would faint from hunger.

So let's prioritize their own meals first.

"But......"

While that's true, it's not something Ying would do to let her friend go hungry while she's full. Fortunately, she didn't hesitate for long because a certain tengu quickly solved her problem.

"Your Excellency Barbatos, Lord Su Feng, and General invite you."

"Furthermore, Ying, the General also requests that you accompany him to the audience."

As Kujo Sara descended from the sky amidst thunder, she quickly folded her wings and extended an invitation to everyone present. Unexpectedly, Narukami invited her, and Ying and Paimon looked at each other in surprise, while Wendy and Su Feng seemed unsurprised.

That's normal. After all, they flew here openly and legitimately. It would be strange if Zhen and Ying didn't sense it.

But judging from this situation, Shin and Kage have also come to Haigi Island?

"General Thunder has come to Haiqi Island too? Why didn't anyone know?"

Paimon finally asked the question, and Kujo Sara answered without hesitation.

"Because the sacred land of Haiqi Island is spreading at an unimaginable speed, Haiqi Island has chosen to hold the 'Three Realms Road Festival' and begged the General to bestow divine grace. Thus, the General ordered a group of warriors to come and help Haiqi Island hold the 'Three Realms Road Festival' while also making an incognito visit to Haiqi Island to prepare to suppress everything if necessary."

Kujo Sara explained it very clearly, and after hearing this answer, Su Feng also understood why Shin and Kage had secretly come to Umijima Island.

It seems they also have some concerns about the Abyss Palace beneath Haigi Island; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent samurai along with their own presence.

I just don't know what the current situation is with Yuanxia Palace.

However, let's go meet with Shin and Kage first. After all, they've already extended an invitation, and they can't be too impolite, since this is their territory after all.

Chapter Sixteen: Ornamental Fish Shivering

As the supreme being of Inazuma, Narukami could never be underestimated by anyone.

Although Umijima has historically been hostile to the Shogunate for many years, even so, these Orochi worshippers know very well that Narukami, who can cut Orochi's neck with a single stroke, is definitely not someone they, as small Karami, can mess with.

Especially the power that Narukami displayed when facing the filth and calamity, as well as the demons that were enough to instantly engulf the entire island of Haigi, made these country folk, who rarely saw gods take action, realize what true gods and calamities really looked like, and what they, as weak mortals, would be like when faced with calamities without the protection of gods.

So even though he was trembling with fear when facing the gods, he was still overjoyed when he learned that Narukami was going to personally oversee the island of Haigi!

Of course, the poor ornamental fish felt like it was going crazy when it saw the two Narukami. Although the rumors about the existence of shadow warriors among the Narukami had been circulating, seeing two Narukami was really too frightening for the island of Umigi, which had once stirred up a rebellion.

Shinkai is really afraid that one of the Naruto gods will suddenly remember what Haigi Island did in the past and then say that if he wants to solve the problem of Haigi Island becoming a sacred land, holding the 'Three Realms Road Festival' step by step is too annoying. If he really wants to eliminate the future troubles, it would be easier to just cut the entire Haigi Island in half with one stroke.

Fortunately, this didn't actually happen, and soon Xin Hai discovered that although both Narutos looked very imposing, they were actually quite easy to talk to if you paid attention—of course, this was also related to Xin Hai not intending to do anything reckless.

Although she is the leader of Haiji Island, as the leader of a group of arrogant and ignorant people, Xin Hai is a rare person who knows exactly what she should do, so she did not show any disrespect to Narukami.

After all, theoretically, Haigi Island has not yet been forgiven by Narukami. If Narukami were to remember that they were still a group of rebels and prepare to wipe them out on the spot, Haigi Island would have no power to resist at all.

So even though spending time with the two Narutos recently had almost driven her to the brink of a nervous breakdown, she still persevered.

But today, she was truly numb, and she almost broke down.

Mondstadt's Anemo Archon and another powerful figure worthy of Narukami's serious attention and heartfelt gratitude arrived at the Coral Palace under Kujo Sara's guidance. When they revealed that they had come for the Fuchishita Palace, their hearts naturally went blank.

So what exactly happened on Haiqi Island that made so many powerful beings at the god level gather here?

Should she first beg Lord Narukami to evacuate the ordinary people on Haigi Island? And if a fight really breaks out, can the entire Haigi Island still exist?

Thinking of this, Xin Hai couldn't help but look at Ying, who had followed her in. She looked at her friend with pleading eyes, hoping to get some useful information from her.

Unfortunately, Ying could only shake her head helplessly, as she knew nothing about the Abyss Palace. However, she was well aware of Xin Hai's worries, especially after the two Narukami had come here, which confirmed that the situation on Haiqi Island was probably not good.

Xin Hai's thoughts and actions did not attract the attention of the gods. The first thing Wendy saw after arriving in the main hall was the wine offered in front of the true god—which was in line with his personality.

"It's a pleasure to meet you here. I wonder if there's anything I can do to help this time?"

Putting Wendy aside, the person who was happiest after seeing Su Feng was naturally Ying.

Having not seen Su Feng for some time, she seemed eager to try things out after seeing him again, though it was unclear what she was planning to do.

"I don't know about that. I was brought here by Wendy. He said I couldn't miss the opportunity to visit Haiqi Island, so I came along. As for what happened here, I have no idea. You arrived before us. Have you discovered anything during this time?"

Su Feng also greeted Ying and explained why he was there.

"Hmm... Aside from the light energy seeping out from beneath the entire Sea God Island and rising at an extremely rapid pace, I haven't noticed much else. After all, the seal leading to the Abyss Palace hasn't been opened yet, so I don't know the specifics."

"But after all, it involves the power of the Light Realm, and Zhen seems very uneasy. She must know something, but she didn't tell me. However, since Zhen wanted to come over, I followed her."

Shadow could only shake her head helplessly at this matter. Although she and her sister had also come down from the heavens, it was clear that compared to Shin, Shadow was completely ignorant of many things.

After all, she's someone whose mind is mostly filled with martial arts, fighting, and sweets. It's not normal to expect her to remember too much. Since her older sister is coming, she'll come along. If anything happens, she'll just rush up and wield her sword immediately.

"If you need any help, just tell me. I may not be able to help much with other things, but if it's a fight, I'll be there for you."

Ying was well aware that she couldn't provide Su Feng with much useful information, so she took on the task of handling the battle without hesitation. Upon hearing Ying's promise, Su Feng smiled.

"Although I don't know what might happen next, I also know that it's unrealistic to expect to resolve the problem here quietly. There will definitely be a time when we need your help."

Su Feng was quite confident about this point, not only because others regarded him as a guiding light to disaster, but also because Su Feng himself felt that he would definitely not be able to settle down anywhere.

After all, there's nothing that can be done about it. If there were no problem, why would the one who controls fate have summoned him here?

So in the end, a fight is inevitable.

"I will prepare well and I definitely won't hold you back."

Ying solemnly made a promise that she would never forget the help and kindness Su Feng had given her, especially now that she could enjoy time with her sister, all thanks to Su Feng's help. This alone was enough for Ying to pay the price of her life to repay this kindness.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you!"

Faced with Ying's promise, Su Feng naturally had no reason to refuse.

Chapter Seventeen Orobas

After exchanging a few words with Ying, Su Feng looked back at Zhen, who was sitting in the main seat. She had managed to get rid of Wendy with the wine in front of her, which finally made things quiet around her.
