Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

"Fine, if you want to come with me, then come along. It's not like I'll skimp on your drink."

It took Su Feng a lot of effort to regain his composure, and then he decisively chose to ignore the guy.

"Actually, I am quite interested in Haiqi Island, especially the so-called Yuanxia Palace beneath Haiqi Island."

After careful consideration, Su Feng directly expressed his thoughts.

He didn't intend to hide anything from Makoto, since he would still be operating in Inazuma's territory. In order not to violate any taboos and cause trouble for Makoto, Su Feng naturally had to inform him of his itinerary.

"Yuanxia Palace?"

Upon hearing Su Feng's next destination, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. She glanced at Wendy discreetly, and only after confirming that Wendy didn't seem to have explicitly expressed any objection did she reluctantly nod.

"Although I don't know exactly what you're looking for, Inatsume won't hinder your journey in any way."

"However, although the island of Umijima above Fuchishita Palace is nominally a vassal of Inazuma, ... and Inazuma is still in chaos, so your trip to Fuchishita Palace may have to wait a while."

It was a bit awkward to talk about Haigi Island, since from a certain perspective, it could be considered a family scandal.

“That’s no problem. I’ll wait until Inazuma has quelled the current disaster before heading to Fuchishita Palace.”

"Besides, I have a friend on Haiqi Island now, so it shouldn't be a problem to ask her to put in a good word for me."

Su Feng was still somewhat confident when he mentioned this matter—in fact, he was more confident in Ying, since Su Feng had never seen anyone who could genuinely dislike Ying after spending some time with her.

Ying seems to possess some kind of mysterious magic that allows her to become friends with the vast majority of people.

Therefore, Su Feng did indeed have some other methods regarding the matter of Haiqi Island.

"I'm sorry, but the relationship between Umijima and Inazuma is already quite bad, so it's really not appropriate for Narukami to issue orders directly right now."

As she spoke, a bitter expression appeared on her face. Of course, she knew that Inazuma had a lot of problems, but sometimes problems couldn't be solved just by discovering them.

Moreover, they really lost five hundred years. Although the Divine Sakura bought Inazuma some time, Inazuma, who lost Narukami for five hundred years, was not just five hundred years behind in many things.

"So governing the mortal realm is indeed not an easy job, and you're taking it way too seriously. You're nothing like some people who don't care about anything except covering up for Mondstadt."

Since we're talking about work, it's inevitable that we'll have to diss a certain Wind God. Even though Su Feng knows very well that Wendy is actually very hardworking, no one else knows that!

Do you really think everyone can understand what the high winds that have surrounded Mondstadt for thousands of years are all about?

If that were the case, then the entire Teyvat wouldn't think Wendy is a slacker.

"Wow, how can this be applied to me? I've already started drinking properly!"

"That's going too far!"

After being repeatedly criticized, Wendy finally couldn't hold back and protested again, but unfortunately, neither Su Feng nor Zhen ignored his protest for the time being.

Compared to Wendy's behavior, she is definitely a top ten employee – after all, she has just come out of the ICU and has already started to reconsider her work. If she is not a top ten employee, then who is?

"So before you're all ready, I'll go check out Qinglai Island and Heguan. There seem to be some interesting things going on there."

Since we can't go to Haiqi Island for the time being, it would be a good choice to visit Heguan, which is shrouded in mist, and Qinglai Island, which is full of thunderstorms. After all, these two places seem to be hiding some unknown secrets.

Of course, more importantly, both places are practically deserted dead zones for Inazuma, so even if Su Feng went there and destroyed the island, the losses would not be significant.

"Of course, no problem. If needed, I will arrange for someone to send over the information about these two locations. I hope it will be of some help then."

This time, they readily agreed to Su Feng's request and even prepared to send over relevant information, since it would still be extremely difficult for Inazuma to develop these two places given his current strength.

Moreover, she didn't think Su Feng would really dismantle the two islands. If Su Feng solved the problems in the process of exploring, he might be able to save Inazuma a lot of effort and resources.

This is a deal that you absolutely won't lose money on.

Chapter 39 Wendy: How about I teach you a few moves?

Of course, the conversation about Su Feng's upcoming schedule was just to pass the time.

After all, Inazuma is not very stable right now, especially since he just dealt with such a big incident. Although Su Feng only acted as a henchman and a ruthless energy provider from beginning to end, he still felt a little tired.

Since someone in Inazuma was finally going to reimburse his alcohol consumption, Su Feng naturally decided to relax and have some fun without any hesitation.

So after chatting for a while, Shin, who had finally stabilized her newly reconstructed body, quickly decided not to continue wasting time with them. After all, Inazuma had many things to deal with everywhere. In addition to dealing with the problems caused by this disaster, she also had to clean up the mess left by her younger sister.

I'm afraid I'll be busy from now on.

However, Wendy and Su Feng, who were simply abandoned by their owners under the cherry blossom tree, didn't care at all about being temporarily abandoned.

After all, unlimited bottles of fine wine are more appealing, aren't they?

Since Zhen had temporarily left, Su Feng and Wendy immediately became much more unrestrained—after all, their master was no longer there, so they naturally didn't need to be careful about anything.

In the end, as long as you don't demolish someone else's house, it's fine.

"Don't you have any thoughts about Raiden really being resurrected?"

After they actually left, Su Feng continued drinking with Wendy while seriously asking this question.

At this moment, he looked very seriously at Wendy's still smiling face, as if he could see something from Wendy's expression.

Unfortunately, that's impossible.

"Why wouldn't I welcome a true resurrection? Her reappearance is not only a great help to Inazuma, but also quite good news for the whole of Teyvat."

"The future of Teyvat needs more power, and Raiden is definitely a reliable ally."

"At least in my view, there is no reason to object."

Faced with Su Feng's questioning, Wendy simply shrugged and stated his thoughts directly—he knew, of course, that Su Feng waited until Zhen left before asking him in order to get an accurate answer, so Wendy had no intention of hiding anything.

"But I always feel like you're hiding something, and I always feel like you're not so... surprised" about the real resurrection.

"You really do have a lot of secrets."

Su Feng took another swig of wine, feeling a little annoyed, but he didn't intend to force Wendy to say anything.

Anyway, even if we hang this guy up and whip him, we probably still won't be able to get any useful information out of him.

“I can admit that I’m not surprised that he’s really resurrected, but I can’t tell you why I’m not surprised yet, my friend.”

"But you should know that I have no ill intentions towards you. No matter what, we will always be the best of friends, and I will never betray you."

Wendy made this promise as if she knew what Su Feng was worried about, but Su Feng rolled her eyes at her after hearing it.

"What do you think you can do to me right now?"

Su Feng spoke these words without any mercy. Perhaps Wendy does have some background, and may even possess some unimaginable power, but it is clear that at least now he is unlikely to be able to do anything to Su Feng on his own.

Especially since Wendy's current power has been almost completely overshadowed by Su Feng, it would be very difficult for him to do anything he wanted.

"My friend, don't be too complacent. You must know that although your strength is indeed great, sometimes strength alone cannot bring you absolute victory!"

"You should know that even the Goddess of March, who once mastered the power of the endless light realm and unimaginable mysteries and laws, was gone forever in the catastrophe that overturned the heavens and earth. Compared to those three goddesses who once hung high in the sky, you are at least much worse in terms of skill."

Wendy playfully pointed out Su Feng's current shortcomings—although Su Feng's strength has been continuously improved by mastering multiple Herrscher cores, he is still too young and his skills in using power are terrible.

Most of the time, all Su Feng had to do was to use the most basic instincts carried in the Herrscher core to drive the various powers belonging to the Herrscher, and then simply crush his opponents with absolute power.

This method is extremely effective in many situations—after all, not everyone can be like a Herrscher who has an endless supply of power to squander as long as they don't exhaust themselves in one go. The fact that he can injure people with his own power alone is enough for Su Feng to defeat the vast majority of his opponents.

However, simply relying on overwhelming force is not a long-term solution. This weakness will be magnified when Su Feng encounters an opponent that is difficult to defeat in a short time. At that time, Su Feng can only rely on a long period of time to wear down his enemy.

This was already evident when facing Mana this time. However, Mana at most possessed extremely strong immortality due to the filth, but his attack methods were not particularly outstanding.

He is indeed difficult to deal with, but as long as Su Feng is careful enough, he won't mess things up with him.

However, no one can expect Su Feng to only ever encounter opponents of Mana's caliber.

If Su Feng faces other enemies in the future, he will likely be in trouble.

"Hmm! Looks like I'll have to find some time to teach you a lesson. I'll definitely hang you up and whip you again when I do!"

Su Feng was aware of his shortcomings, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was too young, and besides, the power boost from a Herrscher core was far greater for him than honing his skills.

In this situation, he would naturally pursue complete mastery of the power of the end first, since at least for now, he can directly crush them with absolute power most of the time.

But faced with Wendy's mockery, Su Feng decisively chose to first retaliate with anger.

"But you'll suffer if you keep going like this~ I'll teach you some tricks when we have time later, and then you'll know what I really mean."

Wendy didn't seem to care much about Su Feng's anger; he continued chugging his drink while saying those words. If Su Feng hadn't known that this guy was unlikely to lie about such things, he might have mistaken him for a conman trying to scam drinks.

"You bastard... Fine, then I'll see what you can teach me. But if you don't satisfy me, I won't give you any wine!"

Su Feng didn't refuse Wendy's offer, after all, Wendy was going to help him, and he also wanted to see what kind of skills Wendy was prepared to impress him.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down!"

Wendy was very confident about this.

Chapter Forty: Showing Off a Little, Threats, and Counter-Threats

Since I'm going to show off my skills to Su Feng, I naturally have to bring out some of my best tricks. Otherwise, what if Su Feng thinks I'm just fooling him again?

Of course, Wendy did this mainly because he knew that his credibility with Su Feng was really bad. He couldn't convince Su Feng with just empty words, so he had to show Su Feng some skills.

So Wendy decisively waved, and then a wisp of breeze appeared in front of the two of them, swirling along a mysterious trajectory.

"?"

Upon seeing this pure wind element, Su Feng became somewhat curious—although the wind was quite pure, it was nothing more than that to Su Feng. If needed, he could easily create an even purer wind himself, but he also knew that Wendy's so-called "showing off his skills" was definitely not that simple.

After all, pure wind elemental, while precious, is not particularly powerful. You should know that the wind elemental in the Free Turquoise is not necessarily much weaker than the wind elemental that Venti is summoning right now.

Then, filled with curiosity, Su Feng witnessed a scene that left him speechless.

This wisp of wind flowed continuously between the two of them, and then, along with the flow of the wind, some unexpected changes gradually occurred right before Su Feng's eyes.

Matter is being carried by the wind, flying and merging into it.

It was clearly just a wisp of pure wind, but soon water, fire, lightning, ice, grass, and even the most stubborn rock element began to dance and pulsate with the wind.

Pure elements, separated and processed from all things in the mortal world, have been added to the ball of the wind. These elements, which should not have been under Wendy's control, are now cheering and dancing with his baton.

But this was not the end. Soon after the elements began to revel, the world began to change because of this little ball. The union and transformation between the elements contained the secrets of Teyvat, and now these secrets were in Venti's hands and changed according to his will.

Space is breaking down, time is being disturbed, and even the world itself is beginning to collapse.

Su Feng keenly sensed the enormous changes within this small space, and these changes were soon revealed to him in a more explicit way.

The world was torn open, and then the material world instinctively began to collapse and try to repair the hole. This is the instinct of the world.

This is a very clever method—if this wisp of wind element is amplified to a certain extent, even gods will be swept up in the world's restoration project and forced to become its resources. At the very least, it can directly throw the opponent out of the world.
