Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

It is precisely because of these physiological and cognitive differences that subtle differences arise in their thinking.

"Okay, okay, this is my fault. I forgot you're from out of the world."

"Ahem, let's not talk about this anymore."

"I have just instructed the Traveler to prepare to head to Liyue. After all, there's not much time left until Liyue's annual Summoning Ceremony, and it would be troublesome if we missed it this year."

Wendy raised his hand slightly, a little embarrassed. He quickly decided to put the matter aside for the time being and start discussing the issue of Luminosity again. Su Feng nodded in agreement. Although he didn't know what Wendy had done wrong, it was obviously not important to him since he wasn't a demon god.

"So you're just going to let Ying leave like this? You really don't want to leave her in Mondstadt?"

After returning to Ying's side, Su Feng asked her this question with a hint of teasing, but Wendy didn't seem to care at all.

“I really wanted her to stay, but it’s obviously impossible. She has her own journey and mission, and even if I wanted to keep her, I couldn’t.”

"In that case, why not leave a good impression?"

Wendy didn't hide his thoughts. He knew, of course, that Luminous was the most important thing in Teyvat right now, but some things had to be continued, otherwise the worst possible outcome would be inevitable.

"Okay, that's a perfectly valid reason."

After receiving an answer that was not unexpected, Su Feng couldn't help but shake his head, but he didn't intend to say anything more.

After all, Wendy herself didn't have a choice, so she shouldn't dwell on it.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Everyone's mind is different.

"Speaking of which, it seems you want me to have more contact with that traveler? Aren't you afraid I'll cause even bigger trouble?"

“I might not bring any good to Teyvat—don’t forget my birth; if I really cause trouble, the whole of Teyvat might really be gone.”

Su Feng asked the question casually and with a hint of joking, while also pointing out the danger he felt towards Teyvat—Su Feng had felt quite comfortable during his time with Wendy, so he didn't mind talking a little deeper.

However, there was indeed a joking element to this statement, since he had completely mastered his Herrscher core and, theoretically, there was no possibility of him being controlled by the 'Cocoon' again in the future.

Of course, the reason why Wendy can make such jokes is that although he seems carefree, he is actually very meticulous. He won't do things two-faced. As long as you don't cause any harm to Mondstadt, you can be completely at ease with him.

So it's better to talk about these things openly now.

"Of course I remember that, but I believe in you now."

"Besides, if you leave Mondstadt, others will naturally be watching you, and then I'll be free of worry, right? Anyway, this concerns the entire Teyvat, so I can't be the only one living in fear, can I?"

Good things should be shared!

However, to Su Feng's surprise, Wendy also expressed his thoughts in a slightly joking tone—he wanted to get rid of Su Feng, who could be considered a burden, so that all the gods would have a headache.

Moreover, he now has full confidence in whether Su Feng can control himself. After all, he had seen Su Feng's series of actions just now, and he did not think that Su Feng went to great lengths to generate the power of the light realm in order to make himself more dangerous when he lost control.

Of course, it's quite amusing to see how disheveled other gods look when they're having a headache.

"..."

"You're lucky you ran fast to survive this long!"

What Wendy said could not possibly be all the reasons, but it was definitely part of the reasons he made this decision.

However, even if this reason only accounts for a small part, it is enough to make people feel numb. He has now begun to wonder what serious illness Ishtar had back then that could turn Wendy, who is theoretically a fragment of her, into the way she is now.

As expected, Wendy was born to get beaten up.

"Fine, I don't care what you're thinking anymore. I have my own plans, but are you really not going to do anything about it?"

As he said this, Su Feng looked towards Mondstadt, whose outline he could barely make out in the distance.

Although the snow-capped mountains are still quite a distance from Mondstadt, it is not difficult for someone of Su Feng's level to sense what is happening in the city.

That's why Su Feng asked Wendy that question, since the Lawrence family in the city is no ordinary person.

I really don't know where these guys got the courage to do this—they even wanted to bring Mondstadt under Winter's protection while simultaneously gaining autonomy.

Are these guys brainless? They actually think they can get the support and protection of the Winter Queen for free? What do they take the gods for? What gave these idiots the delusion that they can negotiate and fight with the gods?

It's likely that the Fools, having just submitted to the Winter Lords, did so at their queen's behest by hanging all these former nobles from the streetlights!

Regardless, this blatant attempt to gain control of the mortal realm for free is certainly courageous, but it's just too foolish, so foolish that it's almost unbearable to watch.

"..."

Do you think I need to care about those clowns?

"I am merely using them to remind the people of Mondstadt that freedom requires strength and comes at a price."

Wendy didn't care about such a trivial matter—to the gods, a minor coup among mortals was indeed a small matter.

After all, since the Demon God War, Teyvat has mostly been a place where gods came first, followed by people and kingdoms.

For the gods, erasing a kingdom is far too easy.

Moreover, spending more time looking at these nobles who only leave behind a lot of laughs will only make your brain grow thinner, just like theirs.

"Fine, it's your problem anyway, I won't interfere."

Su Feng also didn't think it was a very important matter. Just like Wendy said, this level of rebellion could be easily suppressed by the gods. In the end, it would only add a bit of a joke and would have no value at all.

This is simply because Wendy doesn't like to interfere with Mondstadt; otherwise, how could these nobles have any room to cause trouble?

Of course, he also had reason to suspect that Wendy was simply afraid of trouble, which was why he left the Mondstadt people to handle the matter themselves.

But this is indeed something Venti is capable of doing, so should we do something to get back at this guy who always likes to act inhumanely for the sake of the people of Mondstadt?

Thinking about this, Su Feng thoughtfully sized up Wendy, and Wendy couldn't help but shiver after feeling Su Feng's malicious gaze.

'Is Su Feng trying to trick me again?'

With his extensive experience of being beaten, Venti didn't need to observe carefully to guess what Su Feng was up to. However, he was also quite confident—as an Anemo Archon who liked to make up all sorts of stories and had managed to survive to this day, Venti was no ordinary runner.

Ordinary demons wouldn't even be able to touch his shadow.

Of course, Wendy was also quite interested in this kind of chase game, especially the way the other person looked frustrated but helpless. He thought it would be a memorable experience to see that expression on Su Feng's face.

However, such a thing is just wishful thinking when facing Su Feng, since Su Feng is not someone to be trifled with.

Thinking of this, Wendy couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment. Su Feng, who also controlled the wind and was even more powerful than Wendy in this aspect, was someone even more difficult to deal with than the old man next door. After all, as long as the old man next door was careful about the rock spears falling from the sky, he would basically be fine, but Su Feng could really catch up with him and beat him up.

"You'd better be careful these days. This isn't the time for Mondstadt to be cheerful again - at least wait until this wave of pain is over before trying to use joy to fade the scars of the past."

Although Su Feng didn't know what Wendy was thinking, he figured it was probably something like celebrating the holiday to ease the somewhat sad atmosphere. So Su Feng gave him a gentle reminder not to go too far.

The reason they make mortals suffer is so that they can grow. If they just wanted to drown the people of Mondstadt in false dreams and pleasures, they wouldn't need to go to such lengths.

Of course, if Su Feng knew that Wendy was currently regretting not being able to see his vulnerable side, he would probably immediately pack this clueless guy into a can and send him to Sky Island so that Tianli could try to rework him.

"Don't worry, I'm not so clueless about the atmosphere."

"Poetry that drifts with the wind will naturally soothe people's pain, but it will also keep courage and resistance in people's hearts. The spirit of fighting and sacrificing for freedom has never faded from the hearts of the Mondstadt people."

Su Feng's reminder was met with Wendy's matter-of-fact reply. He knew very well when to bring the people of Mondstadt wine and poetry, and when to let them remember the suffering and pain.

After all, this is Teyvat, where danger and disaster have never left this world of pain and sorrow. Even though the heavenly messenger still descended to earth and brought endless prosperity and joy, the era only lasted for a hundred years of harvest. He was just a wind god, so how could he protect the Mondstadt people forever so they could enjoy poetry and wine?

Everything has a beginning, and everything has an end. All he could do was give the Mondstadt people a little more room to struggle when facing the end.

However, she didn't need to let Su Feng know what she was thinking, because she would get beaten up for it.

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Seed of Power

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. Let's think about how to get rid of these two not-so-friendly guests."

Wendy, whose thoughts had wandered, gathered her scattered ideas and lazily looked in a certain direction. The two who had realized that their hiding place was useless and wanted to see if they could overhear any useful information had no choice but to leave their hiding place.

"The wind god and his retinue... I really don't know what to say."

"It can only be said that you are indeed one of the two gods of wind and rock that have remained unchanged until now. Your strength and power are indeed beyond the imagination of us mortals."

When the Doctor and his skirmishers approached the two, he first remarked that Wendy had indeed been hiding his true strength, and the power wielded by Su Feng beside Wendy was also beyond his imagination.

So, is the length of time a deity exists inherently part of their power?

"Alright, put away this meaningless praise. In the end, I am just a wisp of wind among thousands of winds. In the distant past, I was not even a demon god. My own strength is not that great. I don't deserve your praise."

"In comparison, I'm more interested in what you're really up to. After all, there shouldn't be anything in Mondstadt that's worth your attention right now, right?"

Wendy didn't take the doctor's words to heart at all.

If it weren't for the fact that the Doctor still possesses the power of the Winter Queen, and if Mondstadt weren't currently unsuitable for a major conflict with the Winter Queen, Venti would definitely not mind completely eliminating the Doctor, who had caused quite a bit of trouble in Mondstadt in the past.

The so-called slice is indeed quite difficult for other people or Daedric Princes to deal with, but if Venti really wanted to take action, he could completely wipe the other party off the face of the earth.

After all, the wind is everywhere, but unfortunately the doctor himself never realized this.

It's just that Wendy can't and doesn't want to do that for the time being. Otherwise, even if the Doctor believes that his strength is close to that of a god, he could really fight against the ancient wind god.

To a deity, memory, emotion, and existence are simply another form of power reserve. Just how terrifying must the power Wendy has accumulated and transformed over her long existence be...?

In any case, a mere PhD is probably no match for them.

"..."

"How much do you know about astrology? If possible, I hope to learn more from you. Of course, I am willing to pay the corresponding price for this knowledge, since knowledge is never free."

The Doctor naturally noticed the disgust and impatience in Wendy's words, but he himself didn't care about Wendy's attitude towards him.

He himself did not like these gods who had existed for a long time, but he had to admit that as one of the oldest gods, the Anemo Archon knew the most secrets and knowledge in the entire Teyvat.

Moreover, the Destiny Star has already been dealt with by Mondstadt. Now, the only people on Earth who know anything about the Destiny Star are probably Su Feng and Wendy, who personally dealt with it.

"If you want to acquire knowledge, you should go to the god of wisdom, right? After all, I'm just an ordinary street singer, and so-called knowledge has nothing to do with my alcohol-filled brain."

Wendy's expression didn't change at all, even though the Doctor wanted to pry some secrets out of him right away. He calmly deflected the question.

It seems they don't want to reveal any relevant knowledge to the PhD student.

That makes sense, though. Given the Doctor's personality and abilities, if he knew some crucial information, he might actually be able to replicate Destiny Star directly on Earth.

Those guys in the heavens were already inhuman enough in order to resist the abyss and external enemies. It would be terrible if there were another guy on earth who dared to be as inhuman as the heavens.

Teyvat is bad enough, and Wendy doesn't want to make the world any worse if she could.

Actually, Wendy is a pretty good actress, but what's most infuriating about her is that she never hides her true intentions when she's being evasive. For example, the Doctor easily saw that Wendy didn't want him to know this kind of knowledge.

If it were anyone else who dared to do this, the professor would probably have invited them to his lab bench to have a more detailed explanation of what they didn't know. Unfortunately, it was Wendy who was doing this so blatantly in front of him.

After comparing the strengths of both sides, the Doctor had no choice but to swallow his pride and give up on the questions related to the Destiny Star.
