Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

"Traveler, hurry and follow..."

From Paimon's perspective, Luminous was completely trapped inside by the Hilichurls.

After saying that, she tried to break free from Qin Ye's restraints.

"Are you going back now and causing her trouble?"

Paimon completely ignored the other party's warning and quickly escaped from Qin Ye's grasp.

"Tsk tsk tsk, although I don't know your true identity, we've really been through thick and thin together."

Qin Ye also intentionally loosened his grip, and while Ying and Paimon were preoccupied with their own affairs, he stood silently watching the battle, showing no intention of making a move.

The Abyss Mage instantly appeared behind the man, intending to defeat him in one strike.

However, as the snap of the fingers rang out, the elemental shield instantly frosted over, completely sealing it off and preventing it from advancing an inch.

"The ability to choose opponents still needs improvement."

He strode towards a nearby fruit tree to hide himself more concealed.

Upon seeing Paimon return, Ying roared angrily, "What are you doing back here?"

The tornado blew the Hilichurls away, and including the enemies that had just been destroyed by the Bouncing Bomb, the grunts had basically disappeared completely.

She intended to eliminate the enemies layer by layer, then rush out through the gap to escape, but unexpectedly, Paimon flew back to her side.

"Traveler, it's alright, I can fly to the sky..."

A pale hand hurled Paimon away, and the incoming thunderous fist struck the Sword of No Edge squarely.

Her slender body traced an arc in the air before landing on the ground.

As King Qiuqiu drew ever closer, the impact on Ying's body left her feeling disoriented and unable to control her actions.

The fist magnified in her vision, causing her to move her body repeatedly without any effect.

"Hehe!"

The strings were plucked, and a gentle breeze carried the firefly into the sky, causing the attack to miss completely.

A green figure appeared in the distance: "Hurry up, everyone..."

The word "escape" remained stuck in his throat.

A howling wind suddenly rose, engulfing the fire elementals in the camp's torches and creating a massive firestorm that completely engulfed the Hilichurl's body.

Qin Ye clenched his right fist, and a gust of wind formed a brutal claw, tearing the Qiuqiu King's body to shreds in one strike.

The battle ended completely in the blink of an eye.

"Oh!" The man ran out from behind the tree and came straight to Wendy's side, spinning 720 degrees and raising his right arm high: "My God, such elemental power, it's just like the legendary wind god Barbatos who blew away the ice and snow of Mondstadt, restoring its freedom!"

"..."

Watching the exaggerated performance that was so overtly suggestive, I suddenly couldn't chuckle anymore.

Chapter 156 The Kind "Fool"

"Did he hide away to become an adventurer? That bastard."

The woman sat on the soft sofa in her residence, her movements somewhat casual, one arm resting on the armrest, her body sinking into the back of the sofa.

She stared intently at the ceiling, organizing the intelligence she had just gathered.

'While gathering intelligence, I unexpectedly ran into an old friend, probably sent by Dionysus. I'll go keep him company.'

Arecino's words echoed in my mind: "[Servant]."

One has to admire the Fool's resourcefulness; the ability to plan everything and find a way to turn the tide at any moment...

If she could do that, she would surely be making action plans or taking action every day.

Although the process of scheming and calculating from all sides can be very stressful, the sense of accomplishment from having everything under control and finally achieving the desired result can be one of the driving forces that propel people forward.

Whenever I have a moment of free time, I can't help but think, what if she had possessed that wisdom to scheme and calculate everything...

Will the outcome of this tragedy change completely?

The emptiness and overflowing hatred in her heart, the envy and jealousy, and countless completely opposite emotions filled her mind, shaping Rosalyn into who she is today.

Even if the heart of the wind god is taken away, so what? Will the century-long hatred finally come to an end?

the answer is negative.

But the Fool will not...

He is the only one who, despite being a mortal, can see through the clown's and even the Queen's intentions.

Rather, she now wants to see for herself what kind of drama that person will bring.

"[Madam] Your Excellency."

Rosalyn slowly lowered her raised leg and gradually raised the arm that had been resting on her eyes, looking at the Fools' intelligence agent kneeling in front of her.

"What? Any new intelligence this time?"

"No...it was actually Lord Fool's adjutant who requested an audience with you."

"adjutant..."

Rosalyn fell into deep thought, muttering softly to herself, as if recalling that familiar face.

Oh, it's that little girl.

When I was studying, I was someone who could write notes that were longer than the original book.

Did she say why she came here?

If she requested the meeting, it was highly likely at the behest of Dionysus.

What are you planning to do now?

Unfortunately, the clown also granted him considerable power in the letter.

Hey...

"It seems that another executive officer wishes to see you in person."

"in addition?"

Rosalyn's gaze was deep as she stood up.

The Fool came to see me in person?

No, the intelligence report just now said that he was wandering around Mondstadt.

Who could it be? Arecino didn't explain it to me clearly either.

Datalia?

No, although he and Dionysus had a good relationship, he didn't have the guts to put on such a grand show.

Then there's only one possibility...

It is a [young girl].

She didn't say who she was, yet she wanted me to personally greet her; she really dared to do something like that.

"Hehe, your accommodation is quite nice. Qin once told me that he was worried you might have suffered some injustice in Mondstadt. Now it seems you've had a very comfortable year-long diplomatic career?"

The petite girl walked straight into the villa, looked around to sense her surroundings, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Columbia...don't joke with me like that. If Dionysus had cared about me even a little bit during the winter solstice, the wind god would probably have personally delivered the Heart of God to me tomorrow."

[The Fool] If someone cares about others, it's not just as simple as the sun rising in the west. If he cares about you, he might treat you to a meal and then try to extract a house from you.

"Then you have a huge misunderstanding about him. He is the kindest man in the world. It is precisely because he is too kind that he has to become cold."

Columbia smiled and turned to Tatiana: "Aren't you right?"

"You are absolutely right."

"..."

Rosalyn gave an awkward smile.

What do these two want to talk to me about? Are they trying to proselytize?

“Don’t worry.” Columbia casually sat down on the sofa and gave the [Lady] a friendly smile. “I just came to chat with you.”

-

Qin Ye and his group are on their way back to Mondstadt.

"So Wendy, you're a bard?" Paimon's tone was full of envy. "Travelers and I love listening to stories."

"Really? As a bard, what I like most are travelers like you, who are the protagonists of their own stories and enjoy listening to my stories. You are the perfect friends."

Wendy walked at the front with Ying, smiling, her eyes glancing back every now and then.

Qin Ye placed his hands behind his head, appearing quite relaxed, showing no signs of having survived a close call.

"Although Wendy, you are the owner of the Eye of God... we have never seen anyone as powerful as you. When Qin Ye said you were like the Wind God, I almost believed him."

"Haha..." Wendy could only laugh awkwardly, gently pluck the strings, and clear her throat.

"How can I, a bard, be compared to the Wind God? I merely travel frequently throughout Teyvat and thus know more. As for strength... perhaps it's due to the critical situation?"

He ultimately chose not to expose Qin Ye's true colors, and made up a plausible excuse, gritting his teeth and admitting that what he had just done was his own performance.

After all, if there are any problems in the future, I'll need the Traveler and Qin Ye's help.

But how can we turn the tide and take the initiative?

"Speaking of Qin Ye, is it really okay for us to go back the way we came? Didn't you say you wanted to explore the area around Falling Star Valley?" Paimon asked, as she felt the exploration was rather haphazard.

"You're not tired, but Yingdu is. Why don't you go back and rest for a while, and we can talk about it another day?"

Paimon turned to look at the silent girl, his eyes filled with concern: "Traveler, are you alright?"

"Yes, it's just that, as Qin Ye said, I am indeed a bit tired."

After all, encountering a group of Hilichurls in Mondstadt right now is indeed a bit of a challenge for Luna at her current level.

Qin Ye pondered to himself.
