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

But those traces remain. They will disappear, albeit slowly, and are difficult to detect with the naked eye. This is enough for Wu Qiu to know that Ying must have suffered greatly during the onslaught of the poisonous wind.

"Just a heads up, we weren't on that dragon's back when she carried you."

Wu Xiang Feng Zai suddenly appeared and said something, then immediately shrank back, probably afraid of getting beaten up.

Chapter 146: Mondstadt Chapter - End

Wu Qiu didn't say much; he knew it would be useless to say anything now. He couldn't offer any compensation anyway, and saying anything would only add to the sadness.

Since that's the case, why not pretend to believe Ying's lie and make amends later when there's a chance?

"Alright, can we return the Sky Harp? After all, even the captain needs to borrow time."

Suddenly, Barbara's voice rang out. Wu Qiu and the others then came to their senses, and Wendy immediately stepped forward and returned the Sky Harp to Barbara.

This time, the Sky Harp wasn't damaged, so Barbara happily accepted it. She smiled and said a few words before leaving, clearly eager to return the Sky Harp.

"Then let's leave too."

After Paimon finished speaking, the group followed him out. Qin didn't come along, but Wu Qiu suddenly seemed to remember something.

"I feel like I've forgotten something..."

"That's right!" Wu Qiu suddenly remembered. "At this moment, isn't the Executor of the Fatui going to show up and steal the Heart of God?"

Wu Qiu instinctively tried to stop Wendy, but quickly stopped himself. He learned from the system that Wendy's strength had almost dropped below level 80 because he had given up his rule over Mondstadt.

But that's a level 80 god! And what about the lady? From the plot, we know that whether it's the lady, the young master, or the other executives, their strength is not weak, but it's definitely not too strong. They're around level 50, and the strongest of them are probably only level 60. That's about the highest level that humans can reach through cultivation. It's not the limit, but it's definitely the peak.

However, because the Executors have been granted power by the Ice Queen, their strength far surpasses that of ordinary people. Therefore, they may all possess level 60 or 70 power, with the strongest among them possibly having power levels comparable to Dvalin or Xiao.

That's impressive, but that's the problem. Xiao and Dvalin reached their levels through their own talent and training, and in certain situations, killing a god wouldn't be impossible for them.

The Fatui Enforcers' power doesn't come from themselves, but from the Ice Queen. According to the system, aside from Zhongli and Venti, the other five gods are all below level 85.

Now think about it, a god below level 85 shares a portion of their power with their subordinates. Then, those subordinates, using only level 70 power, defeat a wind god who is currently at peak level 85 or higher and has level 80 power. Is that plausible? Is it even possible? Isn't that utter nonsense?

Logically, even if all eleven of the Executors attacked together, they wouldn't be enough to stop Wendy from taking a single breath. But the storyline character knocked Wendy down with a single punch. Does that really make sense?

Thinking it over, Wu Qiu and the others walked out of the cathedral. Outside, Wendy walked ahead, looking quite happy, while Wu Qiu looked around warily.

Sure enough, the temperature around them dropped significantly in no time. A noticeable disturbance came from behind, and Wu Qiu turned around abruptly.

Two figures had already arrived behind them, lunging forward to attack. In the distance, Wu Qiu spotted a familiar figure: the Executor of the Fools.

It has to be said, she's truly a beauty, and it's no wonder she's so popular in Genshin Impact. However, compared to the game, the lady is less alluring and more aloof.

"careful!"

Ying's voice rang in Wu Qiu's ears. Then, with a swift movement, she appeared beside Wu Qiu, drawing her Wind Trace sword and blocking the two attackers.

With a single hand flip, a burst of wind elemental energy exploded in front of him. The impact sent the two charging figures flying.

At the same time, the woman appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye. A gust of wind she created blew Paimon away, and her fist was imbued with the power of ice element.

Wu Qiu had anticipated this situation, but he hadn't expected the lady to react so quickly. Fortunately, he was prepared. With the round shield conjured by Wu Xiang Feng Zai covering it, Wu Qiu unleashed the strongest defense he could muster.

He casually pulled Ying forward, took a step in front of her, and raised his round shield. Having done this, the lady was already in front of him, her fist already slamming down.

With a loud bang, the Condensed Flower Shield shattered. Wu Xiang Feng Zai was quite capable, as the shield wasn't broken, but Wu Qiu's strength was limited. The round shield struck his chest, sending both of them flying.

With two loud crashes, the two slammed into the cathedral wall. Ying was unharmed, only shaken, but Wu Qiu was in serious trouble, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Although it wasn't too serious, it was definitely not pleasant. The worst off was Wu Xiang Feng Zi, who, after being hit, went straight back into Wu Qiu's shoulder, clearly temporarily rendered useless.

"Xiao Qiuzi, are you alright?"

Ying looked at Wu Qiu, who was kneeling on one knee and coughing, and asked worriedly. Wu Qiu shook his head to indicate that he was fine, then looked up and saw the lady knock Wendy down with a single punch and take away the Heart of God.

"Holy crap! He really went down with just one punch."

"I never expected that the Wind God, one of the Seven Gods, would only have so little power left. It's truly disappointing."

The woman's slightly mocking tone came through. Then, with a kick, Wendy rolled over and passed out.

She turned her head and walked away with elegant steps. She walked very slowly, but she disappeared in no time, along with her subordinates.

Looking at Wendy again at this moment, we saw that he had secretly peeked out with one eye, and only after seeing that the lady had left did he sit up, clutching his chest and complaining, "Wow, that was really ruthless."

Wu Qiu and Ying went up to her and asked, "Wendy, what happened to you? How did you get knocked down by just one punch?"

Wu Qiu asked with a hint of sarcasm. Wendy smiled slightly and said, "Hehe."

Wu Qiu fell silent. It was clear that although it appeared to be a theft, Wendy had deliberately given away the Heart of God. But why? He really didn't understand.

"Are your injuries alright? Do you need to go in for treatment?"

Wendy spoke up, but Wu Qiu shook his head, "No need, let's go quickly."

Following Wendy, they arrived at the large tree where the wind rose. There, Wendy answered some of Ying's questions.

For example, the Fools, the Executor, the Lady, and Dvalin.

"Traveler, your search for the Seven Archons will be a difficult journey. Although I do not know which of the Seven Archons you are looking for, you can go to Liyue, which is closer to Mondstadt, and is the territory of the Geo Archon."

“Unlike me, the Geo Archon personally governs the entire Liyue region. He descends only once a year to issue divine decrees guiding Liyue’s direction for the coming year.”

"Now that I think about it, the annual ceremony to invite the immortals is about to begin. If I miss it, I'll have to wait another whole year."

After Wendy finished speaking, Paimon exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! Why are you only saying this now? It's so important!"

To everyone's surprise, Wendy smiled slightly again and said, "Hehe."

"Hey, it's happening again! Ugh! I'm so angry!"

Paimon stamped his foot, but Wu Qiu wasn't worried at all. Wu Qiu knew very well what would happen at this year's Immortal Invocation Ceremony. So there was no need to worry about not seeing Old Master Zhong, after all, he had retired.

However, the battle against the demon god Oser requires careful consideration. After all, he is a true demon god, and Oser's combat power is likely above level 85. Although only a portion of his power has been unleashed, its destructive force is definitely higher than that of Tivalin.

Chapter 147: Heading to Riyue

In Mondstadt, on this day, Wu Qiu and his companions left without telling anyone. They were heading to Liyue to catch the Summoning Ceremony, otherwise they would miss seeing the Geo Archon.

Although Wu Qiu knew that even if they didn't go now, they would still see him, since the Rock King Emperor would put on a show. At this time, he would be using the alias Zhongli, and as long as they went to find Zhongli, they would be able to see him.

But after thinking it over, Wu Qiu still felt it was better to go sooner rather than later. After all, Li Yue was still quite far away, and it would definitely be several months before they got there.

The three carried a small amount of food on their journey. They were used to hunting for food in the wild, so they didn't bring much.

However, just as they had walked a short distance, roughly out of Mondstadt's field of vision, a sudden hurricane swept across the sky.

Wu Qiu and the other two looked up and saw a huge figure.

"Tvalin?"

Wu Qiu felt something was off. Meanwhile, Tvalin quickly landed in front of the group, looked at Wu Qiu, and said, "I'll give you a ride."

These words made Wu Qiu's eyes light up. Without hesitation, he ran up to Tvalin's drooping wings.

"Quick, quick, Sister Ying, come on up! Let's ride the dragon! That'll be so impressive!"

Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance, then without hesitation, they stepped onto the platform. Once seated, Dvalin took to the air, carrying them towards Liyue.

Tvalin was incredibly fast; in no time, they had already flown over the Dragon Ridge Mountains. Continuing on, they could see some villages, but further on, the landscape became quite desolate.

The more remote the place, the fewer people live there, and the more desolate it appears. Wu Qiu had already witnessed this in both his own and others' lives.

In about half a day, Dvalin flew the distance that would have taken them months to cover. It wasn't until the surrounding environment changed noticeably, from grass to rock, that they finally left Mondstadt and arrived in Liyue.

"I can only take you this far. You'll have to walk on your own from here on out."

Wu Qiu expressed his understanding. After all, Dvalin is a follower of the Anemo Archon, and his sudden appearance in the Geo Archon's territory would cause unnecessary trouble.

After saying goodbye to Dvarin, the three continued their journey, following the path Dvarin had indicated, and continued forward.

Unlike Mondstadt, Liyue lacks greenery, with boulders and weeds everywhere. While it doesn't look desolate, it definitely doesn't have the same appeal as Mondstadt.

"Wow! Is this Liyue? It looks a bit desolate."

Paimon looked around. Wu Qiu shook his head. "Although it's desolate, the people of Liyue live quite well. After all, the Geo Archon is the oldest god, and Mora was created by him."

"Besides, with the largest port, their lives are much better than those of the people in Mondstadt next door."

"You even know this?" Ying looked at Wu Qiu in surprise. Wu Qiu tilted his head back. "Of course, but..."

"However?" The two looked at Wu Qiu together. Wu Qiu stammered, "It's just..."

"What is it?" The two were even more confused. At this moment, Wuxiang Fengzai suddenly appeared. "Oh dear, the road forks ahead. He doesn't know which way to go to Liyue."

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

"You don't know?" Ying looked at Wu Qiu in surprise, her eyes seeming to say, "You know about Liyue's financial situation, but you don't know which way to go to Liyue?"

"Don't look at me like that. I just know about it, I've never been there," Wu Qiu said, feeling a little wronged. Then she looked at Paimon, "Hey, Paimon, aren't you the guide? Which way?"

Paimon shook his head. "I don't know. I don't even know where Tvalin took us, how could I possibly know where to go next?"

"Oh right! Which direction did Dvalin point to just now?" Ying suddenly thought of something. Although it was a fork in the road, as long as she knew which direction Dvalin had pointed to, she could just take the road that was slightly off-center.

"I forgot..."

Wu Qiu spoke. Then all three fell silent.

"Hey! Sister Ying, don't hit me! You can't just blame me! You guys didn't do anything wrong either, ah!!!!!!!!!!"

A few minutes later, Wu Qiu rubbed his ears, which were red from being pinched, and his scalp, which was numb from being pulled. He looked at the two women in front of him, his eyes filled with tears of grievance.

"Hmph! It's all Xiao Qiu's fault, she made us get lost."

Paimon put his hands on his hips. Wu Qiu muttered under his breath, "And you're one to talk, you guys didn't remember the way either."

But he dared not say it out loud, or he would definitely get beaten up.

"Alright, stop arguing. Let's think about how to get to Liyue. We can't just stay here forever."

Ying spoke up to stop the two from arguing. Paimon nodded, "Yeah, yeah, and it's so hot here, I'm dying of thirst."

As she spoke, she flew to Wu Qiu's side and said, "Little Qiu, give me some water."

Wu Qiu subconsciously reached for the bag at his waist. But when he reached out, he didn't feel anything.

Wu Qiuxin's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly remembered that she had been too excited on the dragon's back, so she tied the bag to a scale on the back of Tvalin.

In an instant, Wu Qiu broke out in a cold sweat. His expression froze instantly, and he stiffly turned his head to look at the oblivious Paimon and Ying. "Um, I think I left the bag with Dvalin."

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

"No, um, don't hit me, let's talk this out, I..."
