Genshin Impact, the spear remains.

"I, I... I just came to check on the things I put on the tree before. I put a few leaves here before, but today I found that they've all disappeared. It's really strange."

The last time Wendy came here, she saw the wind elemental leaves on the trees, but they're gone now. It's strange that something so almost invisible could just disappear.

However, this also gave him an excuse to get away with it.

Following Wendy's finger, Paimon looked up but didn't see anything.

but...

"Aren't leaves all over big trees?"

Looking at the lush green leaves, Paimon stared speechlessly at Wendy.

If she heard correctly, Wendy did say "leaves," right?

"Oh dear, of course you can't tell if you look at it like that. Those are leaves that I've processed, they have a very artistic feel to them, and they even have wind elemental power on them."

Well, having been influenced by the wind god statue, in a sense, he has also been involved.

Hearing that the leaves were imbued with wind elemental power, Ying quickly opened her elemental vision to look up at the tree, but there were only ordinary leaves dancing in the wind, and she couldn't see anything special about them.

The girl shook her head, her short golden hair fluttering around her ears.

"Ah, the wind elemental leaves you mentioned seem to be the ones I picked when I came here before."

After collecting enough chrysanthemums to meet his quota, Bai Qiyun didn't pick any more and instead walked directly towards the group.

Since he won't need the windmill chrysanthemums anyway, it's better to maintain sustainable development.

"Huh? Did you pick them?"

Upon hearing this, Wendy turned around in surprise, but soon he couldn't help but feel a surge of secret joy.

Now he finally had a chance to play a trick on the other party, since Bai Qiyun had just stunned him.

You see, in Mondstadt, he's the one who fools... oh, no, I mean, he's the one who gets others to understand him; he's never the one being fooled.

You know, the last time he was tricked was when—

Let's not talk about this anymore.

The bard shook his head, clearing his mind of all sorts of random thoughts.

The next second, a malicious expression crept onto Wendy's face.

Of course, this is something only those who know him well can see.

"According to Mondstadt's laws, what is the fine for taking someone else's belongings without permission, beautiful Lady Knight of Honor?"

As the Anemo Archon who rules Mondstadt, he never imagined that one day he would have to use Mondstadt's laws to get revenge.

The world is truly a strange place.

"Forehead...."

However, he overlooked one point: how could a traveler from out of town possibly memorize such a thick book of rules and regulations as Mondstadt?

Asking her to repeat the relevant laws is really asking too much of her.

Ying awkwardly turned her gaze to Bai Qiyun, whose troubled look made him shake his head.

However, as an acquaintance, Bai Qiyun decided not to embarrass Ying.

"Taking someone else's belongings without permission shall be punished according to the value of the items themselves, and in addition to the value of the items, a fine of five thousand moras shall also be paid."

Bai Qiyun mumbled a long string of words, whether true or false, it sounded like the truth.

"Hey, young man, could you please pay this honorary knight's fine first? You can also give me the principal directly while you're at it."

Wendy was overjoyed at the thought of soon receiving thousands of Mora.

That's a lot of cider! And it'll make this guy lose a good amount of money, hehe.

Looking at Wendy's beaming face, Bai Qiyun knew exactly what she was thinking.

He had already guessed what was going on based on the bard's malicious expression.

You think you can fool him now? No way.

Bai Qiyun deliberately circled Wendy twice, then pondered for a moment.

"However, there is another provision in the Mondstadt Ordinance: in unattended and unclaimed areas, items that have not been claimed by others within six hours are considered unclaimed items."

The boy seemed to have seen through the bard's little scheme.

"I was on a mission with Bennett from the Adventurers' Guild that day. I had been here for quite a while and didn't see you there, so according to the law, it was normal for me to take the leaves and I did not violate any regulations."

"Unclaimed? Doesn't anyone govern this area?"

Realizing things were going badly, Wendy quickly changed the subject, trying to steer the conversation in a different direction.

However, his plan may have backfired.

"Of course not. The big trees in this place where the wind rises are naturally public areas. How could there be a lord to govern them?"

To increase his persuasiveness, Bai Qiyun leaned against the tree trunk and stretched out his arms freely, and even so, no one came out to stop him.

"Oh? Then how about Barbatos, the god of wind? Look, there's a statue of the god of wind here."

The bard dragged Bai Qiyun to the statue, and a gentle breeze ruffled the boy's clothes, as if the god had truly seen him through the statue.

In Ying's vision, the breeze appeared out of nowhere and disappeared just as suddenly, leaving her completely baffled.

However, Bai Qiyun didn't care about that. He waved his hand, and the breeze disappeared instantly.

Just kidding, he worships the rock god, not the wind god.

He could see the Rock God every year at the invocation ceremony, not to mention the so-called Wind God.

"Oh? Then have the Wind God come and talk to me in person. If he shows up, I'll obediently pay the fine."

"I...."

Speechless after Bai Qiyun's words, Wendy was momentarily speechless.

Although he didn't want to do it, Wendy decided to scare the guy in front of him because of his arrogant and fearless attitude.

The bard adjusted his mindset, making himself, who was already like a charlatan, even more of a charlatan.

"Since you've put it that way, then I must reveal my identity. Rejoice, believer, for before you stands Barbatos, the god of wind!"

A gentle breeze carrying elemental energy swirled around Venti, and the once peaceful grass now hummed softly as the wind elemental energy emanating from him filled the air.

I must say, it really does have a bit of the feel of the Wind God.

But given his previous experience, Bai Qiyun wouldn't believe it.

The boy looked at Wendy's unlit Divine Eye and scoffed at him.

Although we don't know what methods this bard used, calling him a wind god is truly laughable; what kind of god is that down on his luck?

"God of Wind? If you're the God of Wind, then I'm the Demon God. Alright, alright, burying wine underground isn't anything shameful. There's no need to lie."

Perhaps feeling that what the other person said made sense, the wind elemental force around Venti gradually subsided.

With someone stopping, the wind-swept land returned to its previous calm.
