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

Wu Qiu grabbed his wrist first, then spun around and struck him on the neck with an elbow.

This interrupted Feng Shan Jueyun's attack, and he was sent flying again. When he stood up, he felt dizzy.

However, he still refused to admit defeat, leaping into the air and launching a kick. But Wu Qiu grabbed his ankle, twisted it upwards, and then delivered a punch to his abdomen, sending him crashing to the ground unconscious.

Looking at the towering peaks and clouds lying at his feet, Wu Qiu remained calm. A gentle breeze stirred, ruffling his short hair, but it couldn't move his still, emotionless eyes.

"Little, Little Akiko is so handsome."

Paimon couldn't help but admire Wu Qiu's demeanor. Ying, however, frowned deeply. "Something's not right. Xiao Qiu usually plays dirty tricks, how could he possibly have such high combat power? Besides, he's acting too strangely right now."

"Wow! What is Xiao Qiuzi going to do!"

Suddenly, Paimon called out. Ying looked over and saw that Wu Qiu had raised his fist, and the gauntlet had transformed into a sword.

Her pupils contracted, and Ying quickly stepped forward, "Little Qiu Zi!"

One sentence stopped Wu Qiu. Wu Qiu stopped what he was doing, turned around slightly, and looked at Ying who was walking forward.

When Ying looked into Wu Qiu's eyes and met his gaze, her heart sank for some reason. The Wu Qiu she knew now felt so unfamiliar; he didn't seem like a person at all.

Ying stopped and stood five meters away from Wu Qiu. "Little Qiu, what are you doing? Are you going to kill him?"

Wu Qiu remained silent, simply watching Ying. Ying's unease grew stronger, and she slowly placed her right hand behind her back, summoning Fenghen.

"Xiao Qiuzi, you've already won. That's enough. Stop."

Ying spoke cautiously, bracing herself for Wu Qiu to suddenly attack. Although she didn't know why he had become like this, she was certain that Wu Qiu was not normal.

However, to Ying's surprise, Wu Qiu withdrew his raised hand, and the sword reverted to the Formless Wind Sword. Wu Qiu then turned to face Ying and said, "Hmm."

He answered Ying with a single word, but it was so cold that Ying couldn't accept it. This wasn't Wu Qiu's voice.

If Ying hadn't been watching the whole thing, she would have definitely thought that Wu Qiu was an imposter. But the truth was no; she saw everything, and Wu Qiu never left her sight.

To Ying's relief, Wu Qiu seemed to listen to her. That was enough; she needed to keep him in check first, then figure out a solution.

At this moment, the Unseen Wind also slowly flew over, as if it hadn't woken up yet. Paimon put his hands on his hips and whispered, "Hey, didn't you even try to stop it?"

At this moment, Wu Xiang Feng Zai seemed to finally realize, "Something's wrong! Be careful! Something's not right with him!"

"I... I was completely unable to resist just now. It was clearly an equal contract, I should have been able to resist. But just now I was completely unable to resist."

Hearing this, the others looked at Wu Qiu with complicated expressions. Wu Qiu, however, remained standing there indifferently, like a piece of wood.

However, a hint of emotion finally appeared in Wu Qiu's eyes. The next second, Wu Qiu's body trembled, and he raised a hand to slap his forehead, "Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! How could this be?"

Wu Qiu was completely dumbfounded. Just now, he had focused all his energy on one side, but instead of the side with more water taking control as he had hoped, the other side had firmly grasped the initiative.

Without Wu Qiu's interference, the other half of her consciousness fully blossomed, and as you have seen, she became like a robot, with a personality completely opposite to Wu Qiu's.

Previously, because of mutual influence, nothing was apparent; it was merely a matter of different ways of doing things. But now that the influence has disappeared, the true nature of the other half has been fully revealed.

Wu Qiu didn't want things to go on like that, so he frantically tried to balance things out, which is how things were restored to their original state.

Chapter 152: Well-reasoned

What exactly is hidden inside my body?

Wu Qiu looked at his hands, reflecting on everything that had just happened. He admitted that Feng Shan Jueyun was very strong, and even with Wu Xiang Feng Zai by his side, it would be difficult for him to defeat him.

He also admitted that the complete crushing defeat, both in combat and mentally, he felt incredibly satisfied. Wu Qiu longed for that, because it would make him stronger and more like a perfect, powerful individual.

However, Wu Qiu also hated that side of himself. Although Wu Qiu wasn't a saint, killing people at the drop of a hat was definitely not something he wanted to do.

"And," Wu Qiu thought, looking up at Ying.

"I don't want Sister Ying to draw her sword against me again."

This was the last thing Wu Qiu wanted to see. He could understand, because just now, he hadn't acted like a human being at all.

That's not just aloofness; it's disdain for the world, indifference to everything, the deepest indifference in one's heart, devoid of even the slightest emotion.

"Sister Ying, I..."

Wu Qiu felt she needed to explain. But Ying shook her head, "No need to explain anything, it's good that you're alright."

As Ying spoke, she visibly relaxed. She had witnessed Wu Qiu's behavior just now. Although it was strange, at least the Wu Qiu she knew, the unreliable one, was back.

Compared to the powerful and aloof Wu Qiu, the unreliable, timid Wu Qiu with a bunch of bad habits in front of her made Ying feel more at ease.

"I……"

Wu Qiu wanted to say something more, but Ying interrupted him again, "This is definitely not what you wanted to see, and you must feel very guilty."

He patted Wu Qiu on the shoulder as he spoke, "It's my fault too. I said I would protect you, but this still happened. Don't worry, I won't let you fight anymore, so don't feel pressured."

"Thank you..."

Finally, Wu Qiu expressed all his feelings with a simple "thank you." He was truly grateful to Ying for her understanding and for believing in him.

"Speaking of which, the merchants over there have all run away, and we've been left here again."

Paimon looked into the distance, and Wu Qiu and Ying also turned to look. Well, the merchant had disappeared; only some messy footprints remained on the road.

"Now, we don't know where to go again."

Paimon lowered his head. Wu Qiu smiled knowingly, "It's alright, following their marks will definitely get us to Liyue, and besides..."

As he spoke, Wu Qiu looked at Feng Shan Jueyun lying behind him and said, "We have a new guide now."

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

"Hmm—hmm? I, I'm..."

Half an hour later, Feng Shan Jueyun woke up groggily. His first feeling upon waking was dizziness and a slight soreness in his body.

But soon he realized something was wrong, because he found himself tied to a stone pillar. The rope was made of the formless wind spirit, so he couldn't break free.

Wu Qiu grinned mischievously, and together with Wu Xiang Feng Zai, who only had one crystal core left on his shoulder, they chuckled.

"Hey kid, you're awake? I thought you were pretty good at showing off earlier. Come on, show off again."

Looking at Wu Qiu, who was smugly showing off in front of him, Feng Shan Jueyun decisively asked, "Who are you?"

"Hey! Are you pretending to have amnesia with me? It's no use talking to you. We were just having a big fight, and I knocked you down with two punches, have you forgotten?"

Fengshan Jueyun looked at Wu Qiu carefully, then shook his head decisively, "It can't be you. That guy isn't as shameless as you."

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

Can I say he's insulting me? No, it also sounds like he's praising me... I'm totally confused.

"Never mind all that. I just want to ask you, we finally managed to get a ride. You came and caused all this trouble, and now the car's gone and we're out of food. What are we going to do?"

Wu Qiu asked him. But to his surprise, the guy tilted his head back and said with a heroic attitude of going to his death, "I, Fengshan Jueyun, have been away from Liyue for so long, but I never thought that I would fall into the hands of you treacherous, despicable, shameless, shameless, inhuman, and beastly bandits today."

"Come on, kill me! In my next life, I, Fengshan Jueyun, will still be a hero!"

"…………You said it yourself, so don't blame me."

After saying that, Wu Qiu picked up a stick from the side, opened his mouth, breathed "whoosh!" at the tip of the stick, and then plunged it between Feng Shan Jueyun's legs.

"Hey! Hey hey hey! I was wrong! I'll take you to Liyue, I'll give you food!"

Upon seeing this, Feng Shan Jueyun felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly cried out. Hearing this, Wu Qiu stopped what he was doing, turned around, casually threw away the stick, and then spread his hands towards Ying and the others behind him, saying, "Take care of it."

Ying and Paimon were speechless. Ying stepped forward and looked at Fengshan Jueyun, "You said it yourself, you can't go back on your word."

Feng Shan Jueyun nodded through gritted teeth, tears streaming down his face. He looked at Wu Qiu with an expression that seemed to say, "How could there be such an evil person in this world?"

"Let it go."

Ying turned to Wuxiang Fengzai and spoke. Wuxiang Fengzai casually withdrew his power, and the ropes binding Fengshan Jueyun disappeared.

Upon landing, seeing Ying with her back to him, Fengshan Jueyun's eyes flashed with a cunning glint. He reached out to grab her, intending to take her hostage.

But just as his hand was about to grab Ying's neck, Ying immediately dodged to the side. Then, without even looking, she reached back with her left hand and grabbed his ear.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! I made a mistake! I made a mistake! Don't twist it! Don't turn it! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

A piercing scream filled Fengshan Jueyun with utter despair as he was dragged forward like a chick being led.

With a forceful jerk, Feng Shan Jueyun staggered forward. Covering his ears, he looked at Ying and said, "Big sister, are we really that powerful?"

Paimon put his hands on his hips and said, "Of course, so don't resist. Just keep your promise."

Fengshan Jueyun looked around unwillingly, and after realizing that there was absolutely no way he could escape, he sighed, "Fine, I admit defeat. I'll take you to Liyue."

"There's still food!"

Paimon crossed his arms and emphasized. Fengshan Jueyun waved his hand, "Don't worry, don't worry, I know. After all, I don't want to starve to death myself."

As he spoke, the guy pulled out a box and several large packages from behind a big rock next to him. "Hey, they're full of food."

Ying stepped forward, about to open it, but Wu Qiu stopped her, saying, "Sister Ying, be careful."

As he spoke, Wu Qiu asked Feng Shan Jueyun to open the package. Feng Shan Jueyun reluctantly stepped forward, opened the package, and revealed that it was full of food.

"It really is food, but do you bring this much food when you travel?"

Paimon was surprised, but Fengshan Jueyun waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, of course not. I don't carry food when I travel. These are all for those merchants."

As he spoke, he scratched his head and said, "Well, actually, I originally wanted to borrow some food."

"It was theft, wasn't it? →_→"

Paimon bluntly exposed him. Fengshan Jueyun smiled awkwardly and remained silent.

"Then why didn't you run away after stealing it, and instead fought with us?"

Ying asked curiously. Fengshan Jueyun coughed and said, "Actually, I wanted to leave at first, but seeing that there weren't many of you, I had the idea of ​​punishing evil and upholding justice. After all, we've cultivated our strength, and it wouldn't be right if we didn't show off."

Ying and Paimon were speechless, but Wu Qiu's eyes lit up.

"That makes sense, that makes sense."

Chapter 153: The Scoundrel Among Parasites

The Stone Gate marks the border of Liyue. It's the only road from Mondstadt to Liyue; if you don't go here, you'll have to use other means to sneak in.

Now, Wu Qiu and the others stared in astonishment at the wooden tower built on the cliff face and the massive canyon gate.

"Is this the Stone Gate? It's so magnificent, completely different from the one in the game. This place is practically an iron wall."

There were quite a few people coming and going, and Wu Qiu and his friends just stood there, staring blankly at the crowd. Occasionally, someone would pass by and mutter, "Country bumpkin," before turning away.

"Don't be surprised. This is the border of Liyue, heavily guarded by the Thousand Rock Army. It's not surprising to see such a formation. And this isn't even the most magnificent one. Liyue has even stricter control over the seas, after all, it's the largest port."
