“I’m sorry, but I can’t stand seeing my friends being bullied. ‘Madam’…”

After speaking, his right hand emitted a faint purple light, with twinkling stars on it, and the light condensed into a sword.

"Hmph, you wait and see."

The woman was startled by the power. In fact, she didn't feel the power was terrifying, but it's normal to be afraid of unfamiliar things. After all, the unknown is scary. Moreover, the weapon formed from "elemental power" (Honkai energy) is much more powerful than her. After a brief thought, she decided to leave. Before leaving, she didn't forget to say something sarcastic, looking at Venti next to her who had been using wind elemental power for "half a day" and still hadn't broken free from the ice that had frozen him.

"Is this all the power the god who gave up ruling Mondstadt has left?"

"Oh? You mock me for having power borrowed from my master?"

Wendy scoffed.

"Grumpy."

The lady kicked Wendy, sending her rolling twice on the ground. Juexi frowned at this sight. How dare the "lady" do this in front of her? Just as Juexi was about to lash out, she saw the "lady" order her subordinates to release Yingmei.

"let's go."

Jue Xi immediately took the traveler and Wendy to the church for treatment...

"Juexi, why did you let them go!"

Paimon asked angrily, "I'm not seriously injured."

“Little Paimon, if we don’t give them face, it will escalate into a diplomatic crisis between Mondstadt and Winterbreak. Besides, I’m an outsider and shouldn’t get too involved. Just scare them a little to stop them from going too far. And that ‘lady’ from earlier was quite formidable.”

"Thank you so much, my dear friend, although I know they couldn't have come just to bully a poor bard like me."

Wendy's words told Juexi that He had deliberately let them pass just now, and also revealed to Juexi that He knew the purpose of the Fools' trip.

Jue Xi didn't know why Wendy was explaining things to her, well... maybe she sensed that she looked down on Him?

"It's nothing, Wendy. It's just a small favor for me, I was just helping you out."

Jue Xi continued speaking to herself.

"Then, Juexi, could you come for a walk with me?"

Wendy has extended another invitation to you.

"Paimon, Yingmei hasn't woken up yet. You stay here and take care of her. I'll go out with Wendy to clear her head."

Hearing Wendy speak so earnestly, a tone she had changed from before, Juexi naturally agreed.

"No, although we don't know why he woke up so early, he still needs to be treated and examined."

Barbara immediately spoke up, but the band leader held her back.

"Let Him go."

"Then Juexi and I will be leaving. Thank you, Miss Barbara and Director Qin."

Chapter 28 Heart-to-Heart Talk Under the Tree

Jue Xi and Wendy arrived at the Land of the Rising Wind.

Wendy, unlike her usual carefree self, spoke with a look of enjoyment on her face.

"The breeze through the trees is lovely, and it has a scent I like."

"So, Wendy, you really intend to hand over the Heart of God if I'm not around?"

Wendy smiled and said to Juexi.

"Isn't it because of you~ Juexi, my dear friend, oh wait, how did you know about the 'Heart of God'? This is not a topic that can be discussed with ordinary people."

She accidentally blurted out her true feelings. Before He could even have his heart ripped out, she had already asked the question herself... Jue Xi thought to herself, but hadn't spoken yet.

Wendy said playfully.

"However, if it's you, it's okay to tell you secretly~ Juexi, do you know the Empress of the Winter Kingdom?"

"I know a little, but not much."

"One of the Seven Gods, the 'Ice Queen' who sits in the Winter Palace, is the sole object of loyalty for all the Fatui Executors. Although the relationships between the Seven Gods are not all harmonious, I never expected that she would actually be plotting to seize the 'Heart of God' from the other gods."

"Wait, I know all that. I also know that the 'Heart of God' doesn't seem to be particularly important to you, it's just that it's no longer connected to Sky Island." (Similar to the relationship between the Herrscher and the Honkai consciousness, losing the Heart of God is like unilaterally cutting off the telephone line.)

Wendy said in surprise.

"Hmm, Juexi, how do you know so much? You're really something."

Jue Xi directly exposed Wendy's true colors.

"Don't think I didn't see through you. You were trying to deliberately send the Heart of God away just now, weren't you?"

Wendy did not give a direct answer.

"Hey~"

There was nothing left to say.

"Hey, what are you 'hehe' about? Give me your 'Heart of God' and I'll buy you a drink."

Wendy suddenly said with a serious expression.

"Juexi, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Jue Xi asked tentatively, wondering if Wendy hadn't intentionally given away the Heart of God.

"Those two meals?"

"You're so accurate with God!"

Wendy immediately agreed happily, stretched out her hand, and a "Heart of God" appeared on it. She then threw the pale green chess piece at Juexi.

"You little brat, what if I'm a bad guy? And this is the 'Heart of God.' Poor Fools, why did they go through so much trouble if they had known it was so simple?"

Jue Xi silently accepted the "Heart of God" and said.

"I still trust you, Juexi. Besides, this is a special treatment only you receive. I wouldn't so easily hand over the Fools' words to them. It's because I like you."

Wendy put her hands on your shoulders, looked into Juexi's eyes, and smiled as she spoke.

"Hey, I don't like boys, Wendy."

Juexi quickly retreated, and Wendy mocked her.

"Hahaha, Juexi, you were so funny just now. And if it were the Fools, it would be enough to keep me drinking for at least seven days."

Juexi said angrily after being teased by Wendy.

"Hey, you'll still get paid in the end, just with a little more bar, you drunkard!"

"Haha, alright, Juexi, you can go first. When the travelers wake up, Barbara should tell them I'm here. I still have some things to say to them later. You have your own things to do, right?"

"Tch, I'm off then. Wendy, don't forget to come to the tavern tonight."

After saying that, Juexi left without looking back.

Wendy watched the departing figure until it completely disappeared, her previous frivolous expression vanishing, and she began to seriously mutter to herself.

"There's a powerful, unfathomable force emanating from him, but he's a good person."

Then, as if remembering something, she said it happily.

"However, the gender of a wind spirit can be changed, and besides, I am the Wind God, as Juexi knows..."

Meanwhile, Jue Xi arrived at the Goethe Hotel and found the "Lady's" room. The plot had to proceed as normal, but she couldn't let the Heart of God be given away for free; she had to get something out of it. Hehehe, with her own little scheme in mind, Jue Xi knocked on the "Lady's" door…

Chapter 29 The Witch's Redemption?

There was no sound in the room. Juexi knocked on the door and spoke first.

"Is anyone here? Your 'Heart of God' has arrived."

The woman was startled upon hearing this. Was he the same person from this morning? She had thought her plan to retrieve the "Heart of God" from Mondstadt was going to fail. What was this man up to?

"Hey, if you don't open the door, I'm leaving."

Jue Xi said impatiently.

The lady quickly realized what was happening and opened the door.

"Want the 'Heart of God'? You'll have to trade something for it."

Jue Xi took out the Heart of God and played with it in her hand in front of the "lady," and the "lady" looked at Jue Xi and asked a question.

"Oh? Then what do you want?"

After hearing Juexi's words, the woman felt reassured. As long as the man wanted what he wanted, that was fine; the only concern was that he might not want it.

“I want Mora. From now on, all my expenses will be reimbursed by the Northern Bank of the Fools. In return, I can also do some ‘small things’ for you Fools, but it depends on my mood.”

Jue Xi said in a vulgar way that he could be called the number one fighter in Teyvat, but he lacked money and status. As long as he got involved with the Fatui Enforcers, he could do whatever he wanted. Although he could sweep through the Enforcers, he was not a demon, so he would avoid fighting if he could.

"Oh?"

How could the lady not have noticed that Juexi emphasized "trivial matter"? It seems this person is not simple; he knows a lot.

“Mu Juexi, if you want Mora, you should talk to the ‘rich man’ instead of me.”

The woman said.

“I have no connection with him, and firstly, the executor who came to Mondstadt to retrieve the Heart of God was you, ‘Madam,’ and you failed in your mission, so what am I supposed to talk to him about? Secondly, I don’t want to talk to that man; I feel you are simpler to deal with.”

Jue Xi didn't explicitly say that the woman was stupid, but that she was simply stubborn and self-willed.

"I understand, Mu Juexi, you want to be my gigolo?"

The woman said with a smile.

Seeing that the lady dared to joke about her, Juexi decided to teach her a lesson and spoke up.

"So, Rosalyn, five hundred years after your old lover Rustan died, your intelligence has vanished along with him, hasn't it? You old woman!"

"Shut up!"

The woman immediately flew into a rage and unleashed a burst of scorching flames.

"Well done."

This is what Jue Xi has been waiting for.

The flames struck her body, but caused no harm. A moment later, the woman collapsed to the ground, limp and weak.

"You...what did you do to me..."
