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

The key question is: "In the future you envision, do you see my failure?"

What is the ending of this storyline? They defeat Stormterror, the Dragon Plague ends, and Dvalin is saved from his suffering.

This is a good thing; the ending is beautiful. But why did I have to stop Ying? If I was truly so confident in the future I knew, then why did I have to stop her?

Or perhaps, deep down, you've never truly believed everything you know, or even felt that what you know is necessarily correct—after all, this isn't a game.

For a long time, Wu Qiu didn't move. Ying finally gently pushed Wu Qiu's hand away, took off the meteor pendant from her neck and put it in Wu Qiu's hand. "Little Qiu, you should rest well first. I won't come to see you for the next few days."

He turned and left without a second thought, not even glancing back once.

Looking at Ying's back and feeling the pendant in his hand, Wu Qiu suddenly felt very heavy and unfamiliar.

Wu Qiu knew Ying was angry, really angry. Whether it was because of Kong or Wu Qiu's irresponsible words, this time, Wu Qiu had truly angered Ying.

"I……"

Wu Qiu wanted to speak, but he didn't, because he was afraid—afraid that if he spoke, Ying wouldn't even turn her head. Wu Qiu didn't know if he could accept Ying's cold treatment of him, after all, Ying was now arguably the most important person in his heart.

"Hey~ hey..."

Paimon was caught in the middle, at a loss. He looked at Ying and then turned to look at Wu Qiu, not knowing what to do.

Finally, she flew to Wu Qiu's side and said, "Little Qiu, don't be sad. Sister Ying was actually very worried about you when you were unconscious."

"Don't worry, Sister Ying will calm down in a little while. She'll definitely come to see you then."

Wu Qiu nodded and grasped the pendant in her hand. "Okay, I understand. You go too. Sister Ying is almost gone."

Although Wu Qiu said this, the low spirits in her words were hard to hide. Paimon also knew it was time to leave, so she turned back as she flew and said, "Little Qiu, you should rest well. I'll bring Sister Ying over."

He left after saying that. Wu Qiu stared blankly at the doorway. After a long while, he sighed and sat on the bed.

"My time travel was a complete failure. Not only did it cause trouble, it also made people angry."

Perhaps, when Wu Qiu first crossed over, that cliff was another path for him. If he had jumped down then, things might have been much better; at least he wouldn't have caused trouble.

"By the way, there are many novel protagonists like me, so what do they do at this time?"

Wu Qiu couldn't help but think of it, then suddenly slapped his forehead, "I'm so stupid, I definitely have to go with them and turn the tide!"

"Sitting here is a waste of time anyway. Ying has already run out. If I continue to be lazy, I'll definitely get scolded."

Wu Qiu jumped to the door, opened it, and rushed out. Then, he saw someone extend a fist and, bang!, smash it into Wu Qiu's chest.

"Fuck me..."

Wu Qiu cursed, then took three steps back, almost kneeling down and vomiting.

"Ah! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to."

A very pleasant, gentle voice, tinged with a hint of panic, came from behind. Wu Qiu looked up and saw a beautiful face with short, light blue hair.

She was dressed in knight's armor, but also as a maid. That's right, I'm sure you all guessed it, it's Noelle.

Yes, Noelle's hair is light blue, a very, very light blue, almost white.

"Are you... are you alright?" Noelle asked anxiously, standing in front of Wu Qiu with her arms crossed.

"Cough cough!" Wu Qiu coughed twice, sounding unwell. Noelle quickly stepped forward to help Wu Qiu up. "I was just about to knock on the door, and then... I didn't expect you to open it suddenly..."

Noelle's voice trailed off towards the end. Wu Qiu quickly waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's just that you knocked a little too hard, cough cough!"

Noelle's move just now was no joke; if she had knocked on a door, it would have left a hole.

"I can usually control my powers, but you startled me when you opened the door just now..."

As she spoke, she seemed to realize she had said something wrong, saying, "I didn't mean to blame you, please don't misunderstand."

Wu Qiu waved his hand again, "No, no, but Noelle, come to me..."

Wu Qiu suddenly stopped and looked at Noel. "You wouldn't happen to be someone sent by the Knights of Favonius to take care of me, would you?"

Noelle nodded. "Noelle, a novice knight of the Knights of Favonius, extends her sincere greetings to you."

As she spoke, Noelle squatted down slightly, pinched the hem of her skirt between two fingers of her hands, and bowed slightly to Wu Qiu.

Wu Qiu asked curiously, "I see everyone else bowing like a knight, why are you bowing like a maid, Noelle?"

Upon hearing Wu Qiu's words, Noelle crossed her arms again, lowered her head, and whispered, "I... I'm not a knight yet. I'm currently a maid in the Knights of Favonius."

Wu Qiu was taken aback. He really hadn't expected that the Knights of the West couldn't perform knightly etiquette if they weren't knights.

As if sensing Wu Qiu's thoughts, Noelle spoke up, "There is no such rule. It's just that I am not qualified to be a knight, so I haven't performed the knightly etiquette."

“However!” she said, suddenly looking up at Wu Qiu. “Although I am not yet a valiant knight, rest assured, I will protect you. You can leave everything to me.”

Wu Qiu was startled by her sudden burst of energy, but secretly delighted. Noelle, that very reassuring maid from Mondstadt, also known as the human Gundam.

However, Wu Qiu still couldn't resist asking, "Um, Noelle, can I use your shield?"

Noelle tilted her head, a question mark slowly appearing on her face. Wu Qiu then explained, "You can create a shield handle while fighting? Can that shield protect me?"

Noelle finally understood, smiled happily, and nodded, "No problem."

As she spoke, she raised one hand to her chest, and then streams of rock element clearly gathered, slowly covering Noelle's armored hand with rock element.

As Noelle clenched her fist, a beam of rock elemental light emanated, followed by a transparent shield surrounding the two of them.

Wu Qiu's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Noelle's shoulder, exclaiming, "Noelle, you're amazing!!!!"

There was a swaying and shaking. Noelle felt a little dizzy from the shaking, but she also felt a little embarrassed by Wu Qiu's praise.

"Really? That's great."

Noelle covered her face, which made Wu Qiu very happy. You have to know that Noelle's shield is very thick. Apart from the duration, Noelle's shield can completely rival Zhongli's shield.

Of course, that's in a game; it's definitely impossible here.

"Big brother! I heard you woke up, so I came to see you!"

Suddenly, the door opened, and a fiery red figure rushed in. Wu Qiu let out a howl and jumped into Noelle's arms.

"Protect me! Protect me! Someone is trying to harm me!"

While being carried in a princess carry by Noelle, Wu Qiu grabbed Noelle's neck and yelled.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: I'm Going to the Temple of the Four Winds

"Does big brother dislike Klee?"

Seeing Wu Qiu's strong reaction, Ke Li spoke up, somewhat sadly. Wu Qiu felt a tingling, numb sensation in his heart; it was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

Finally, Wu Qiu got down from Noelle's arms and looked at Klee cautiously, asking, "Um, Klee, you didn't bring any bombs, did you?"

"Of course I brought it!" Klee turned around, revealing her backpack behind her, and shook it. "It's full of Klee's treasures."

Wu Qiu was sweating profusely and hurriedly asked, "Ke, Ke Li, what brings you here?"

"Of course, it's to take care of you." Klee revealed her innocent smile. "I heard that Noelle came to take care of you, so I came to help too."

Wu Qiu took a step back and said to Noelle beside him, "Could you help me? I'm a little dizzy."

"If you keep sneaking around like this, Commander Qin will put you in solitary confinement again." Wu Qiu used his final trump card: Commander Qin.

But to her surprise, Klee shook her head and said, "Um—I've already asked for leave, and Jean has approved it."

"puff!"

Wu Qiu coughed up blood. Looking at the little devil in front of him, Wu Qiu strongly suspected that Qin knew he had exposed his past and was using this method to kill him to silence him.

"Big brother, I brought you a gift!"

As she spoke, Keli took off her backpack and began rummaging through it. Wu Qiu took three steps back, shouting, "Again!"

Klee rummaged around for a while, then took out a small backpack. The backpack was small and felt strange, because it was made of wood.

Seeing that it wasn't a bomb, Wu Qiu was relieved. Taking the backpack, Wu Qiu asked, "What's this?"

As he spoke, Wu Qiu tugged on the string next to his backpack. The next second, a gust of wind blew past him from behind, and Wu Qiu felt something being lifted onto his back.

"This is... the Wings of Wind!"

Wu Qiu's eyes lit up immediately. Ke Li nodded as well, "Yes, so big brother knew? That's right, it's Wind Wings."

"So that means I can fly?" Wu Qiu was even more excited. Ke Li nodded. "Yes, but..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wu Qiu turned and ran towards the window, saying, "Hey, I'll give it a try."

Without another word, he leaped out. Noelle and Klee hadn't even reacted yet; by the time they did, Wu Qiu was already gone.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

Noelle tried to pull Wu Qiu away, but Wu Qiu had already jumped out. Facing the gentle breeze, he darted outside like a little bird yearning for freedom.

As soon as he stepped out, Wu Qiu felt a tightness behind him, and then he slowly slid down.

Wu Qiu was delighted, but then he lost his balance and tumbled through the air. He was flying around wildly.

"Ahhhhhh!!!! Help! This thing is broken!!"

Fortunately, this was the second floor. After a few spins, Wu Qiu fell and ended up hanging from a tree. He successfully proved to himself with this failed flight that the Wind Wings were really sturdy; they hadn't broken even after all that.

Noelle and the others, having just left the inn, leaped up into the tree and lowered Wu Qiu down. Klee also rushed forward, "Big brother, are you alright? The Wind Wings are very difficult to control; it takes a long time to master them."

Wu Qiu scratched his head. "Sorry, I got too excited."

After saying that, Wu Qiu looked around in confusion. "What's going on? Why are there so few people on the street?"

Wu Qiu was puzzled because there were so few people on Mondstadt Street now. When they first arrived, there were many people.

"Because there have been rumors lately that Stormterror is going to attack Mondstadt, people are now afraid to go out on the streets."

Noelle answered. Wu Qiu was quite surprised; he hadn't expected them to have realized it.

"By the way, has the Knights of the Four Winds gone to check on the abandoned Temple of the Four Winds?" Wu Qiu thought of what he had said to Amber.

Klee shook her head. "Amber mentioned it, but it wasn't adopted because there was no basis for it. Besides, the people of Mondstadt are very scared now, and the Knights of Favonius no longer have the manpower to investigate the Temple of the Four Winds."

Wu Qiu could understand; he genuinely hadn't expected Dvalin's dragon scourge to have such a significant impact on Mondstadt. But thinking about it, it made sense—Dvalin's strength was truly terrifying.

Wu Qiu fell into deep thought at this moment. If Stormterror really attacked Mondstadt and used the power left behind by the Temple of the Four Winds to create a storm, would it really only cause Mondstadt some minor damage?

To be honest, Wu Qiu didn't want to get involved, but it was clearly impossible now. Ying had already gotten involved, and Wu Qiu couldn't just watch her get caught up in something.

Turning back, Wu Qiu looked at Klee and Noelle and asked, "I need to go to the Temple of the Four Winds. Can you help me?"

Knowing full well that he was not capable enough, Wu Qiu wisely refrained from acting impulsively and instead sought help from the only person he could turn to.
