In Wu Qiu's heart, a hatred that was both ethereal and seemingly real arose. Wu Qiu knew that this was the influence of the demonic dragon on him, so he wanted to break free and tell himself that this hatred was ethereal and intangible.
Despite being abandoned, she had teachers and friends from the orphanage, who gave her a childhood filled with memories.
He was bullied at school, but the school taught him the knowledge he should have learned. Society was unjust, yet it was precisely this kind of society that gave this good-for-nothing a chance to eke out a living, to just wait and wait to die.
Although in this world, I am ridiculed, ignored by everyone, and considered a piece of trash at first glance. But...
As he spoke, Wu Qiu knelt on the ground in pain. At this moment, one of his eyes had turned completely black, making it look as if it were not a human eye.
Hatred gleamed in his eyes; Wu Qiu's resentment was almost unbearable. But Wu Qiu still held onto one last belief, a belief that would keep him going.
"But in this world, there is one person who will never despise herself and will always protect herself."
Clutching her right arm, Wu Qiu spoke again: "There's another person, she, who gives me the feeling of being family. With them around, how can I possibly hate them?"
Meanwhile, on the other side, on Dvalin's back, Wu Qiu lay motionless, one hand outstretched, absorbing the power of the poisonous stinger. His eyes were vacant, as if he were unconscious or not.
Tvalin watched all of this. He knew what Wu Qiu was going through. He had been through it himself, and he knew that kind of pain very well.
But at the same time, he was also very clear that he couldn't disturb Wu Qiu at this time, otherwise things would only get more complicated.
"Ok!"
Just then, Dvalin sensed something. Then, that familiar voice came down—the sound of the Sky Harp.
Upon hearing this sound, Tewara raised his head, then leaped into the air, carrying Wu Qiu as they rushed out of the bottom of the Wind Dragon Ruins.
Outside, Ying and her group at the top had already arrived. Thanks to the connection between Wu Xiang Feng Zai and Wu Qiu, they had successfully reached this place.
And they were all prepared to slay Stormterror. However, they had serious doubts. Could Wendy's music summon Stormterror once more?
The answer was clearly yes. Shortly after the music began, Dvalin's enormous body appeared.
In that instant, Ying had already pulled out Fenghen. "Xiao Qiuzi is over there! What did you do to him?"
Ying learned from Wu Xiang Feng that Wu Qiu was in a very bad situation. Therefore, Ying was very anxious and seemed ready to take action.
Dvalin glanced at Ying, then at his back, and found that the poisonous sting had completely disappeared, along with the impure power within him. Only Wu Qiu remained unconscious, his expression completely that of a demented, vegetative state patient.
He was lifted up by the wind and carefully placed in front of Ying.
"Xiao Qiuzi!"
Ying wanted to step forward when she saw this, but Wendy stopped her, saying, "Don't go over there."
Looking at the black aura around Wu Qiu and the black hurricane constantly swirling around his shoulders, Wendy frowned deeply.
"You absorbed the power of the filthy blood with your own body? I don't know how you did it, but it's too reckless and too amazing."
......................................................
"what!!!!!!!"
In the darkness, Wu Qiu roared madly, then bit his lip, bit his tongue, and pinched his inner thigh. Basically, he'd do anything that could energize him.
However, as the black mist thickened, Wu Qiu felt his consciousness fading. At the same time, his struggling body stopped, and he knelt there like a log.
"Is it over?"
Wu Qiu was unwilling, but he was helpless. However, at that moment, he suddenly felt his hand being grabbed.
A soft, cool hand. Looking up, Wu Qiu's eyes were completely black; he stared blankly at the woman who had appeared before him.
The woman radiated a blue light, with faint patterns shimmering on her body. Although her face was obscured, she was undoubtedly a beautiful woman.
But none of that mattered anymore; Wu Qiu had no idea what he was doing. He just felt like he was being pulled along, but he didn't know where he was going.
However, Wu Qiu felt that his heart was not so painful anymore. Moreover, during his continuous journey, Wu Qiu found that his consciousness had returned to some extent. It was as if the woman in front of him was pulling him out of this endless darkness.
Finally, as his consciousness returned somewhat, Wu Qiu's weak voice rang out, "Shuangxue, is that you?"
Raising his other hand, Wu Qiu seemed to be reaching out to touch her face, or perhaps to embrace her. In this dark space, Wu Qiu needed someone to lean on, someone who could help him overcome his fear of darkness.
However, the woman in front of him did not approach. She simply stopped and released Wu Qiu's hand. "The one who led you out of the darkness and guided you on your path should not be me. Let the person most important to you guide you on the road ahead."
With a smile, a gentle and ethereal voice rang out. After speaking, Frost and Snow's body gradually dissipated, finally disappearing from the spot.
"No, don't go!"
Wu Qiu rushed forward, but missed. His eyes trembled as he was once again enveloped by darkness.
He didn't know what to do until the next moment, when a hand was reached out to Wu Qiu.
Startled for a moment, Wu Qiu looked up. Then, he saw the woman in front of him. All the hatred, fear, and confusion in his heart vanished, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Sister Ying."
Chapter 145: Returning the Qin
Blue sky and white clouds, a gentle breeze blowing. Wu Qiu felt an itch on his face, but compared to the pain he had just experienced, he felt much better now.
Slowly, Wu Qiu opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Ying's beautiful, large eyes, and the white clouds that flashed by.
"Where is this?"
Wu Qiu tried to get up, but found that his arm was sore and he lost his balance and fell down.
"Don't move."
Ying helped Wu Qiu sit up. Wu Qiu looked at his right arm and exclaimed, "Good heavens, it just flew out!"
The arm was completely purplish-black, covered with white frosty vines and thin purple veins, making Wu Qiu's scalp tingle.
"Oh no, oh no, am I crippled?"
Wu Qiu raised his hands in disbelief, but quickly realized that his arm still had feeling. He shook it, and although it ached, he could still feel it.
"Don't worry, it looks a bit messy, but it's all right now. This arm of yours is like Dvalin's stinger—dangerous, but it can also give you strength."
Wendy's voice rang out. Only then did Wu Qiu realize that they were in the sky, on Dvalin's back, and flying towards Mondstadt.
Is it over?
When Wu Qiu saw that the poisonous spikes on Dvalin's back were gone, he felt a huge sense of relief. Judging from the current situation, it was probably all over; the Dragon Disaster was finally over.
Although the process and experience were completely different, the ending was good. And as for myself, although this arm has become very unsightly, it is at least normal now.
and……
Wu Qiu raised a hand, and an ice spike appeared out of thin air. "Alright, the Ice Forging of All Things can be used."
But then, Wu Qiu noticed a black light rising from the blue light flashing on his shoulder. He then saw the ice spike slowly turn black, its interior enveloped by streams of black energy.
"This is...poison? So that's how it is?"
Wu Qiu understood now, he understood Wendy's words. Although his arm had become unsightly, it had at the same time given Wu Qiu the power of poisonous blood.
Once the detection is activated, detailed information about the poison will appear.
"The deadly poison evolved from the blood of the Demon Dragon is different from the blood of the Demon Dragon. The blood of the Demon Dragon can incite hatred in people, causing them to burn their own lives in hatred. This poison, however, has lost the ability to incite hatred, but it can turn into poisonous flames that burn the lives of others."
"Poisonous flames?" Wu Qiu was taken aback. Looking at the air currents within the ice spikes, he asked, "Is this fire?"
As Wu Qiu pried open the ice spike, a black flame rose up the next second, and the airflow instantly ignited and swept around.
"Holy crap! Is it really that awesome?"
Wu Qiu was surprised, and Paimon next to him exclaimed in even greater surprise, "Whoa! The ice cube is on fire!"
He was about to approach when Wu Qiu stopped him, saying, "It's poisonous. Touching it will instantly burn your life. If you want to die, then go ahead and touch it."
"How terrifying! I'm not touching it." Paimon took several steps back. Wu Xiang Feng Zai was even more relieved, "Luckily it's on my left arm, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go home."
He then warned Wu Qiu, "Let me tell you, you absolutely mustn't do anything reckless again. And if you do, don't put anything on my left arm. This is my territory."
Wu Qiu ignored him. At that moment, Mond arrived, of course, they went to a distance, just in case someone saw them.
After dismounting from the dragon's back, Wendy looked at Dvalin. "Dvalin, even now you still uphold the duty of the Guardians of the Four Winds. However, I will not impose my understanding of freedom on you. Go and pursue the freedom you desire."
Dvarin looked at Wendy, and then glanced at Wu Qiu one last time. He didn't say a word, but Wu Qiu felt his gratitude.
Finally, Dvalin left, and the matter in Mondstadt was almost over. It was at this moment that Wu Qiu secretly took Ying's hand for the first time.
Ying turned her head and saw Wu Qiu smiling at her. She whispered, "Thank you."
Ying replied with a smile, "I swore when I got the Wind Trace that I would protect you forever."
Wu Qiu didn't speak again, but he couldn't forget the light Ying brought him in that dark world, the light that gave him the courage to walk out of the darkness.
Whether it's Shuangxue or Ying, they are both the most important people in Wu Qiu's heart. However, for Ying, Wu Qiu feels respect, admiration, and reverence, but for Shuangxue, Wu Qiu feels only regret.
He didn't know what kind of existence Shuangxue was now, but if he could, Wu Qiu really wished he could turn back into that useless person so that Shuangxue could truly come back to life.
Soon, they arrived in Mondstadt. The first thing Wu Qiu and his group did was go to the cathedral and return the Sky Harp. Even the Harp Master had a limited time to borrow the harp.
However, when they arrived at the cathedral, the first thing they did was not to return the violin, but to find bandages and wrap Wu Qiu's entire arm tightly.
Before long, Wu Qiu's arm was wrapped in bandages. Although it looked like an injury, it had to be said that it gave him a different kind of coolness, and with this look, Wu Qiu no longer resembled the hooligan or loser he used to be.
Diluc went back, and after everything was done, Jean arrived with someone. Wu Qiu had seen that person before and was quite familiar with him, but had never had the chance to get to know him.
"This is Barbara, the pastor in charge of retrieving the Sky Harp from the church."
Qin introduced. Wu Qiu immediately rushed forward, "I know, I know, Mondstadt's national idol, I've heard of him before."
"No, you are the true heroes of Mondstadt. You even resolved the dragon plague this time. Otherwise, if we had really sent troops to subdue the dragons, who knows what the outcome would have been."
Barbara blushed slightly. Wu Qiu, however, didn't seem to mind. "That's nothing, Miss Barbara. Are you free later? I was thinking... oh! oh! oh!"
Ying, along with Paimon, went up and pulled Wu Qiu back. Pinch his ear and said, "Little Qiu, you really haven't changed at all. You go after any girl who's easy to talk to. You're really working yourself to the bone for your harem."
Paimon nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, she should be taught a lesson. Ying-jie held you while you were unconscious to comfort you, and even got injured by the black wind in the process. And here you are..."
"Paimon!"
Ying gave Paimon a look. Paimon immediately realized he had let something slip.
Wu Qiu was stunned. "Fainted? Scratched? Hold him!!!"
"Ying hugged me? That's very rare, no... How could I faint at such a happy moment, no..."
"Sister Ying is injured!" Wu Qiu grasped the key point and looked up at Ying. Ying pushed him away, "Don't look at me like that. I did that so you wouldn't fall off the dragon's back."
"And I wasn't hurt either. Look, I'm fine, aren't I?"
From the outside, Ying appeared to be completely unharmed. However, when Wu Qiu began his investigation, he found obvious marks on Ying's neck, cheek, arm, and body.
These marks weren't wounds, but traces left by the poisonous wind. However, the poison has all disappeared, and Ying is indeed alright now.
