I'm in Genshin Impact, and I started by teaming up with Luna.

Seeing Wu Qiu's subtle movements, Ying was afraid he would ruin things and whispered a reminder. Wu Qiu, however, smiled slightly at her, giving her a reassuring look.

Ying wanted to say something more, but just then a whooshing sound suddenly came. Before anyone could react, Wu Qiu moved.

He shoved Wendy aside, steadied himself, and raised his shield. The next second, there was a loud bang! The ice flowers exploded, and Wu Qiu was sent flying.

"Xiao Qiuzi!"

Ying screamed and sped over, catching Wu Qiu in her arms. Wu Qiu was unharmed, but Wu Xiang Feng Zai was in trouble.

The attack was so sudden that he didn't even have time to react. The shock gave him a concussion and almost gave him a heart attack.

Looking up at the sky, the abyss mage was also dumbfounded, thinking, "That's not right. According to the plot, no, according to my calculations, that man shouldn't be able to react unless he knew in advance."

"Quickly, Wendy, continue. We must eliminate Dvalin's hatred."

Wu Qiu, supported by Ying, shouted. Wendy also stood up and was about to continue playing, but at that moment, the Abyss Mage also moved.

He went to Dvalin's ear and whispered something in it. Wu Qiu didn't know what he said, but he saw that Dvalin was completely deaf to Wendy's voice or the piano music, and his eyes had turned bloodshot.

A sense of foreboding washed over Wu Qiu, and he abruptly raised his hand, sending out a piece of Xuanbing brick that he had hidden away long ago. It flew out with incredible speed, turning into a blur and striking the Abyss Mage directly in the face.

With a loud bang, the Abyss Mage screamed and flew a long distance away. Wu Qiu's attack hadn't injured him, but it had repelled him.

But at this moment, Dvalin was clearly completely out of control. His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared out a dragon's roar at Wendy.

"Barbatos! Are you here to hunt me down too?!"

"Tvalin! No..."

Before Wendy could finish speaking, Dvalin turned to fly away. At that moment, Wu Qiu stepped forward, looked back at Dvalin who was about to disappear into the distance, and called out, "Wendy! Don't hesitate!!"

Wendy struggled with his thoughts for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, and a divine light burst forth from his body.

The next second, the wind god power hidden in Wu Qiu and Ying suddenly erupted, and Wu Qiu immediately felt that he had infinite power.

With a swift movement, dozens of ice chains flew out, binding Dvalin instantly. With a sudden tug, Wu Qiu unleashed his divine power, pulling Dvalin back.

Boom! With a deafening crash, Tvalin slammed into Star-Picking Cliff. The entire cliff shook violently, forcing everyone to struggle to maintain their balance.

Wu Qiu sat down on the ground and controlled the void to create ice locks that frantically surrounded Tvalin, binding him directly to the Star-Picking Cliff.

Then, the Wind Spirit transformed into a large lock and placed it directly around Dvalin's neck. With the power of the Wind God, the Wind Spirit locked Dvalin's dragon head to the ground.

Behind them, the purple poisonous stinger was clearly visible. Wu Qiu felt distressed just looking at it, and at the same time, he felt sorry for Dvalin's ordeal.

Seeing Dvalin bound, Ying rushed forward. He also saw the poisoned stinger and the knife mark he had left on Dvalin's neck.

I'm sorry.

Silently apologizing, Ying once again unleashed her Wind Trace and charged forward. Jean and Diluc were also about to go and help, but upon seeing the Abyss Mage and his group of minions appear, they exchanged a glance and then rushed forward simultaneously.

"Hurry up, you guys! I can't hold on much longer!!!"

"Me too!!!!!"

These two shouts came from Wu Qiu and Wu Xiang Feng Zai. No wonder they couldn't keep going after only a short while; the Wind Demon Dragon was simply too powerful.

The Wind Demon Dragon struggled frantically, each strike possessing the force of an earthquake. The entire Star-Picking Cliff trembled, and boulders continued to fall into the sea from above.

Blue wind surged wildly around Ying's body. Wind marks lashed out, repeatedly striking the poisonous thorns and leaving wounds on them.

"roar!!!!!!!!!!!"

Dvalin's roar was deafening, shaking everyone's eardrums. Yet, upon hearing it, everyone's heart trembled.

He was once the Guardian of the Four Winds, the Guardian of Mondstadt, and a companion of Barbatos. But now, he is to be attacked by the very kingdom he once protected and the companion he once trusted most. Who can understand such sorrow?

Wu Qiu never felt that Tvalin was evil. Even though he killed many people, even though he caused a disaster, even though he almost killed Ying.

Wu Qiu could not forgive Feng Molong for almost killing Ying, but he also could not bring himself to hate him.

"Tvalin, Tvalin, I'm sorry, I can only be your enemy."

Silently chanting in his heart, Wu Qiu raised his right hand, and blue light flashed wildly on it. The ice lock that was about to be broken tightened again, and the damaged parts were repaired.

"Roar!!!!"

Just then, another roar was heard, and with a sudden flash of Dvalin's wings, a powerful force was instantly applied to Star-Picking Cliff.

Boom! With a deafening roar, Star-Picking Cliff shattered completely. All the boulders and soil plummeted into the sea, along with the people atop it.

Jean and Diluc steadied themselves using the falling boulder, then deployed their Wind Wings and slid down. Luminous also retreated from Stormterror's side at that instant, to guard against a counterattack.

"Xiao Qiuzi!"

Just as Ying caught Paimon and Wuxiang Fengzai who were almost blown away, she saw Wu Qiu falling. She was about to go forward when she saw Wu Qiu land on Fengmolong by sheer coincidence.

"Xiao Qiuzi! No!!!"

Ying tried to rush up to save Wu Qiu, but it was too late. The Wind Demon Dragon flapped its wings and took to the air, flying away into the distance.

Under Ying's gaze, Wu Qiu moved further and further away from her. At this moment, Ying felt a little dazed; she seemed to have lost consciousness, yet also felt she hadn't.

"So familiar." A scene from the past resurfaced in Ying's blank mind. Before her eyes, her brother was taken away. That time, she felt so powerless, so helpless, that sense of loss...

Gritting her teeth, Ying regained her senses. Watching the Wind Demon Dragon about to fly away, Ying's power surged dramatically.

First, she tossed Paimon the Unseen Wind Boy onto a nearby cliff, then turned to look at the Wind Demon Dragon. Her wind wings unfurled, and the power of the Wind God surged forth, propelling her into the sky like a cannonball.

"Hey, don't go..."

Paimon's attempt to stop Luminosity was suicidal. But before she could finish speaking, Luminosity had already charged out and caught up with Stormterror at an incredible speed.

"Give me back Xiao Qiuzi!!!"

Ying's voice rang out in the sky. But then the Wind Demon Dragon suddenly turned around, its claws clashing with Ying's wind trail.

With a loud bang, an energy ring exploded in the sky. Immediately afterward, Ying's figure transformed into a streak of light and plummeted down, crashing into the ground and creating a huge crater.

Chapter 140: Dvalin's Pain

Where am I?

Feeling the wind rushing around him and watching the white clouds rushing by, Wu Qiu slowly opened his eyes. He was a little dazed, his mind a mess, unsure of his situation.

"Oh right, Sister Ying! Sister Ying was calling me just now, I..."

Standing up, Wu Qiu looked around and realized that he was actually on the huge back of the Tvalin, flying rapidly through the air. He had no idea how far away he was from the Star-Picking Cliff.

"What...am I doing?"

Wu Qiu stared blankly at all of this, especially at the huge poisonous stinger that was not far from him and was constantly emitting an ominous aura.

......................................................

On the other side, there's the Star-Picking Cliff.

"Wake up, wake up, please wake up!"

Paimon flew into the huge pit and looked at Ying, who was half buried in the ground. He shook her body and shouted continuously.

Ying stared at the sky, her eyes somewhat vacant, as if she had fainted, but then again, she didn't seem to. For a long time, it was unclear how long Paimon swayed, until a green figure appeared, at which point Ying finally stirred.

Slowly and casually, as if unaffected, Ying sat up. However, the instant she stood up, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, indicating that she was injured, and seriously so.

Ignoring all of this, Luminous stood up, her body unsteady, but she still staggered forward. Ignoring Paimon and Windfury who were concerned beside her, Luminous finally stood in front of Wendy.

"Xiao Qiuzi has been taken away."

With just one sentence, Wendy sensed all the discontent in Ying's heart. He remained silent, for he didn't know what to say.

“I will help you and do these things because I never thought that Xiao Qiuzi would be involved. Even if he were involved, he would hide at the back. At least he would be safe until I stand here.”

"But now he's been taken away, and you, as the Wind God, why haven't you made a move from beginning to end?"

Jean and Diluc arrived at this moment, and both froze upon seeing the confrontation between the two. They had both guessed that Venti was the Wind God, and that Luminous's impolite behavior was clearly something that should be reprimanded by the people of Mondstadt.

But as Ying said, why hasn't Venti intervened? Not just this time, but the same thing happened when Stormterror attacked Mondstadt.

Wendy remained silent, and for a moment the air seemed to freeze. Just as the tension reached its peak, Wendy finally spoke.

"sorry."

It was just an apology and a slightly bowed head. But upon hearing this, Ying smiled.

Looking at Wendy, Ying gave a bitter smile. It seemed to be a mixture of helplessness, anger, and disappointment.

In the end, Ying didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

"Don't be impulsive, we can discuss the next steps."

Qin wanted to stop Ying because she could clearly sense that Ying's emotions were somewhat unstable.

Upon hearing her voice, Ying didn't even turn her head before saying, "No, we can't wait. Xiao Qiuzi is very timid; he'll be terrified if he faces the Wind Demon Dragon on his own."

It's important to note here that Luminous is no longer referring to Dvalin, but rather Stormterror. Clearly, at this moment, Luminous is treating Dvalin as... cough cough! as an enemy.

After saying all this, Ying turned her head slightly and said, "This time, my battle is not for Mondstadt, not for you, and not for the Knights, but for one person."

................................................

"Is this Dvalin's pain?"

Wu Qiu stared at the enormous poisonous thorn before him. He could easily hear Dvalin's mournful cry in the wind—a weeping from the depths of his heart, the deepest sorrow.

Although the thing looked dangerous, Wu Qiu still stepped forward and touched the huge poisonous thorn, hoping that this would lessen his pain.

But it was all in vain. The enormous poisonous stinger seemed to pierce through Dvalin, causing him to struggle in agony.

In that instant, Wu Qiu seemed to see Dvalin's pain. From the moment he became a Guardian of the Four Winds, from the purest and simplest desire in his heart to protect Mondstadt, Dvalin had dedicated everything to Mondstadt.

How much he loved Mondstadt, loved everything there, and how much he trusted his companion Barbatos.

But when he fought the dragon in the sky and, despite being severely wounded, still drank poisonous blood to protect Mondstadt, why did no one express gratitude for everything he did?

When he awoke from his slumber, he found that everything he had once protected had abandoned him. People began to fear him, ostracize him, and even hate him.

The poisonous blood flowed into his heart, causing him excruciating pain and fueling an uncontrollable hatred for Mondstadt. This was perhaps the greatest pain and the greatest tragedy.

Dvalin's ruthlessness wasn't innate; even though Mondstadt abandoned him, he still loved Mondstadt. However, the poison flowing into his heart made him unable to control his emotions.

The final trigger that caused all of this to erupt was that, during his most helpless time, no one came to accept him.

After witnessing all of this, Wu Qiu suddenly found his eyes were wet. Unlike Wendy's story, the scenes just now seemed to unfold before Wu Qiu's eyes, allowing him to truly feel Dvalin's inner world.

Looking down, although there were significant differences, Wu Qiu knew they had arrived at the Wind Dragon Ruins. Sensing the constant howling winds and the numerous wind barriers, this was undoubtedly the Wind Dragon Ruins.

Dan Wuqiu no longer cared about that; the giant poisonous spike in front of him had already been riddled with holes by Ying. And since he still possessed some of the Wind God's power, he could try to break the poisonous spike.
