"Help! Help! Help, Master Jean! Master Jean, help!! Your Mondstadt priests are killing people!!!"
Chapter 66: Klee's Gift
Wu Qiu's screams were truly terrifying. Even the usually calm and composed head of the ensemble was startled.
Rosalia picked up the bandages and quickly wrapped Wu Qiu up like a mummy. Then she turned and left, leaving behind the words, "All done."
When Qin came to Wu Qiu's side, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him, seeing that he had given up hope for life and seemed like he might die at any moment.
I wondered what could have happened to make someone so desperate about the world.
"Greetings, I am Jean, the current acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. I am deeply sorry for what happened to your friend."
As she spoke, Qin glanced once more at Wu Qiu, who was lying on the table like a mummy, unable to move.
However, strangely enough, Ying and Paimon didn't say anything, they just stared at the lyre. Paimon even rested his chin on his hand, scrutinizing the lyre from head to toe.
"She's very pretty, very polite, and has a great figure. But it's normal that Akiko would mention her."
After speaking, he glanced at Wu Qiu with a look that suggested he was a pervert. Qin, on the other hand, was taken aback. Although Paimon's voice was soft, it was definitely loud enough for everyone present to hear.
Before Qin could speak, Ying put her hands on her hips and smiled, asking, "Does Commander Qin like mushroom pizza?"
Qin was taken aback again, but still answered, "Yes, I prefer mushroom pizza."
"Because it can refresh you?"
Ying pressed further. Qin nodded. "Yes, because the Knights are quite busy. But how did you know all this?"
Ying and Paimon nodded thoughtfully, then turned to look at Wu Qiu together.
"It seems that it wasn't just bragging; Xiao Qiuzi did her homework after all."
Ying nudged Wu Qiu with her finger and said, "Little Qiu, you're pretty good at this, you have great taste."
"I..." Wu Qiu was almost in tears. Seeing the growing confusion on Qin's face, Wu Qiu was afraid that the two of them would let something slip. If Qin knew, it might not be a big deal, after all, Qin was still very gentle.
But if word got out, he'd be hunted down by the entire Mondstadt. So, Wu Qiu frantically winked at them, telling them to be careful.
But it was clear that Luminous and Paimon completely ignored Wu Qiu. Seeing Klee hiding behind Luminous, Paimon's eyes lit up. "Wow! This must be Klee, right?"
Jean looked at Klee as well, then nodded. "Yes, this is our Knights of the Spark."
As she spoke, Qin addressed Klee, "Klee."
Klee understood immediately and quickly walked over to Ying. "Sister, Klee didn't mean it. Klee knows she was wrong. Klee shouldn't have thrown the bombs around."
It has to be said that Klee is truly adorable. When Wu Qiu saw Klee, all the resentment in his heart vanished.
If Little Ke Li were to act cute and charming towards him, then Wu Qiu's ordeal of being bombed wouldn't have been for nothing...
"Wait...wasn't I the one who got blown up? Why is Ying getting this treatment?"
I'm fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking!
Wu Qiu hurriedly tried to get up, wanting to assert his presence. But the moment he moved, his entire body felt as if it had been electrocuted, and he suddenly lost all strength, unable to get up at all.
"Little Cleo, don't blame yourself. This is his retribution."
As she spoke, Ying turned and glanced at Wu Qiu. Wu Qiu immediately felt hurt. "Sister Ying, you don't love me anymore!"
Paimon chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, this is his just desserts. Who told Akiko to talk about Klee and Jean..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Qiu jumped up and slapped Paimon across the wall, sending him flying.
That burst of speed and power was the pinnacle of his career, leaving everyone stunned.
"Xiao Qiuzi, are you alright?"
Ying asked, somewhat dazed. Wu Qiu stood up and clenched his fist. "It's alright, I've already..."
Before he could say anything, his body went limp and he collapsed.
When Wu Qiu woke up again, he found himself in a hotel. There were many people surrounding him.
Both Luminous and Klee are there. Amber is gone; she probably left after getting a new quest.
Seeing Wu Qiu awaken, Ying quickly asked, "Little Qiu, how are you feeling?"
Wu Qiu took a deep breath. "I feel fine."
Then, looking at Paimon, who was gritting her teeth and wishing she could kill her, Wu Qiu said, "It would be better if I didn't see her."
Seeing that Wu Qiu could still joke around, Ying was completely relieved. At the same time, at Qin's prompting, Ke Li brought a box to Wu Qiu.
With her head down and ears drooping, she said, "Big brother, I'm sorry. This is a gift for you. Please don't hate Klee."
Wu Qiu's heart melted instantly. She took the box and said with a smile, "Hehehe... I don't hate her, I don't hate her. How could I hate Kelin? Kelin is so well-behaved."
As she spoke, she casually opened the gift. Actually, it's very impolite to open a gift given to you in front of someone else.
Wu Qiu knew this, but these were all subconscious actions. Wu Qiu had long been captivated by Ke Li's adorable appearance and voice; what did the gift matter?
Even if what's lying inside right now is a divine eye, Wu Qiu could pick it up and chew it up like a cookie on the spot.
In no time, Wu Qiu opened the box and took out a round, red object.
"Ah, let me see what Klee gave me..."
Wu Qiu was stunned for a moment, and cold sweat poured down his back.
"This...this looks so much like the bomb from Klee's Legendary Quest!"
Wu Qiu suddenly remembered that Ke Li's treasures were all bombs. So, when she gave things away, were she giving away bombs too?
Suddenly, the bomb in front of him moved. Wu Qiu's heart tightened, her vision blurred, and she fainted again.
This time, Wu Qiu slept for a long time. In his dream, he dreamt that he was repeatedly blown up by Ke Li, and the scene was horrific.
When Wu Qiu woke up again, he didn't know how much time had passed. The first thing Wu Qiu saw when he opened his eyes was Ying's profile and Paimon.
They were chatting away, completely oblivious to Wu Qiu's worries. Wu Qiu stood up, feeling a slight ache in her body, but strangely, most of her injuries no longer hurt.
Seeing Wu Qiu get up, Ying exclaimed with delight, "Little Qiu, you're awake!"
Wu Qiu rubbed his forehead. "How long have I been asleep?"
"It's been three days. You can see your injuries are almost healed. Although Sister Rosalia is fierce, I have to say her treatment of you is excellent."
Sure enough, Wu Qiu then discovered that most of the bandages on his body had been removed, and the wounds from the explosion had almost completely healed.
At this rate, it'll probably be completely scar-free in a few days. Wu Qiu loves that; Teyvat's medical expertise is truly impressive, managing to prevent scarring from such an injury.
"By the way, has anything major happened these past few days?"
Wu Qiu spoke. Ying shook her head, "No, what could be wrong?"
"It seems Dvalin hasn't attacked Mondstadt yet. If that's the case, there's still some time before the Stormterror storyline begins. Should I take Luminosity and run away first?"
This is a problem. Wu Qiu looked up, wanting to ask Ying for her opinion. But before he could speak, he saw Ying coming over carrying a round, red thing.
"Xiao Qiuzi, this..."
"Ah ...
"And, moreover, can you please stop taking me with you every time you try to commit suicide? This isn't the first time, is it?"
Ying put her hands on her hips, glared at Wu Qiu, and then threw the bomb into Wu Qiu's arms. Wu Qiu felt as if he had been punched in the chest, and almost suffocated.
"Cough cough!" Then, realizing what had happened, she looked at the bomb in horror, and nearly fainted again.
Paimon grabbed Wu Qiu's head from behind, and Ying stepped forward and pinched Wu Qiu's philtrum hard.
"Hey! Xiao Qiuzi, don't faint, don't faint, this bomb isn't dangerous."
Wu Qiu trembled, his face turning green as he looked at Ying. After a long while, he finally gasped, "It hurts!!!"
When Ying let go, Wu Qiu felt as if his teeth had almost been knocked out.
"This thing is a bomb, that's true, but Klee said that as long as the fire element inside isn't activated by a switch, it won't explode."
After saying that, Ying picked up the bomb and tapped it. Surprisingly, the bomb was soft, just like a rubber ball; no wonder it moved back then.
"Are you really alright?" Wu Qiu still couldn't quite believe it. Ying took out a small yellow doll-like object, about the size of her palm.
"Look, if you just crush this, the fire element inside will also explode. Otherwise, no matter what you do, it won't explode."
"Remote-controlled bombs! Teyvat has these things now? Is it that high-tech?" Wu Qiu was surprised, but quickly understood.
After all, this is Teyvat, where technology isn't that backward, and there's also elemental power, so it's not surprising that they've come up with some modern gadgets.
Chapter Sixty-Seven: Maid Knight
However, Wu Qiu dared not see Ke Li again, no matter how cute she was. Compared to life, what did cuteness matter?
As they were thinking, Ying and Paimon stood up and made to leave. Ying said as she walked, "Akiko, we can't take care of you anymore. Someone from the Knights will come to take care of you soon."
"Hey! Where are you guys going?" Wu Qiu asked hurriedly. Paimon turned around and said, "The Mondstadt scourge is very serious recently. We've seen Stormterror and had contact with him."
"Furthermore, Sister Ying is also very strong in combat, and the Knights have already asked us for help. Since we have to stay in Mondstadt for a while and search for clues about Sister Ying's brother, we certainly can't just sit idly by."
Wu Qiu jumped up immediately, sprang to Ying's side, and grabbed her wrist. "No, I don't agree! You've seen how strong Dvalin, no, Stormterror, is."
“My two ancestors, let’s not meddle in other people’s business, okay? Believe me, no one here knows Kong’s whereabouts, not even the wind god Barbatos.”
“We don’t need to get involved at all; it’s too dangerous. How about this, we’re leaving now, is that alright with you…”
How do you know you didn't?
Suddenly, Ying interrupted Wu Qiu. Wu Qiu was taken aback, looking at Ying with some confusion, "Huh?"
"Xiao Qiuzi, how do you know there's absolutely no clue about my brother here?"
Ying spoke again. Wu Qiu was speechless, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "I... Oh, Sister Ying, you should have noticed that I have a language-like ability. To be precise, I know what will happen next."
"And I can tell you, here in Mondstadt! Nobody knows where Hollow is, there's not a single clue!"
Wu Qiu spoke with absolute certainty. After speaking, he looked at Ying with sincere eyes and said, "Sister Ying, believe me, we are not saviors, there is no need for us to do anything for others."
"You still have the strength to fight in Hidden Stone City, but here in Mondstadt, you have no chance of winning against Stormterror."
Wu Qiu tried to persuade her earnestly, but Ying just looked at Wu Qiu and finally said something.
"Why are you so sure that the future you know is correct? And in the future you see, do you see my failure?"
These few words completely stunned Wu Qiu. "Yes, is everything I know necessarily true?"
"Where does my confidence come from? That game? Is this a game world? And the killers of ten thousand demons, Cang Yu, and Liu, they didn't even appear in the game, and..."
