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

Chapter 107: The Trace of the Gentle Breeze

Ying stared blankly at Wu Qiu, who was smiling, and finally curled her lips into a smile as she reached out and took the iron rod.

"Yes, leave it to me. You can leave everything to me."

Ying's tone was very gentle, and the two of them seemed to live in their own world, completely ignoring everyone present and the charging Wind Demon Dragon.

"Great, he really is a kept man..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Qiu's body went limp and he collapsed. He didn't faint, but he simply had no strength left in his body.

Ying caught Wu Qiu and squatted down to let him sit on the ground to rest. But at that moment, a dark figure appeared in front of them.

"careful!"

Hearing the shouts of the crowd, Paimon, who had been all smiles, realized that Stormterror had arrived in front of them and was charging at them with its mouth wide open.

"Wow!!!"

With a scream, Paimon could only cover his face with his hands. Then, a deafening boom followed, and dust billowed up.

Everyone rushed forward, but when the dust settled, the scene before them stunned them.

Ying raised her left hand, and a shield formed from the flowing blue light that held off Stormterror. Yes, Ying held off Stormterror with just one hand.

Furthermore, Ying didn't take a single step back, nor did she even look at the Wind Demon Dragon so close to her. She bent over, her right arm cradling Wu Qiu's head, letting him rest on her shoulder.

She gently covered Wu Qiu's ears with her shoulder and palms. Only when the smoke cleared, the Wind Demon Dragon fell silent, and the surroundings became quiet did she slowly open her hands.

She moved closer to Wu Qiu, whispered in his ear, and said with that familiar smile that Wu Qiu knew well, "It's all over now, you should get some rest."

Wu Qiu nodded, and then his consciousness blurred. He was very confident that he could contend with Stormterror using Wendy's power, and Luminous would only be better than him.

Therefore, Wu Qiu felt no psychological pressure and fell asleep peacefully and with a sense of security.

After laying Wu Qiu down and handing him over to Paimon for care, Ying slowly stood up. Her smile remained unchanged; even facing the Wind Demon Dragon, she continued to smile.

Because she was genuinely happy. Looking at the Wind Demon Dragon in front of her, Ying raised her right hand and slowly put a finger to her lips.

"Shh-"

A burst of energy shot out from his left hand. A silent force surged forth, making no sound, yet the Wind Demon Dragon was sent flying.

It crashed to the ground with a loud thud, but the sound couldn't reach Wu Qiu's ears. It could be said that Ying's actions proved that she possessed far greater mastery of the Wind God's power than Wu Qiu.

Lifting her foot, Ying slowly stepped forward. Her power was unleashed without reservation, her aura directly overwhelming the Wind Demon Dragon.

"The wind is picking up."

Jean stretched out her hand, feeling the wind blowing. Klee, however, asked curiously, "Wind? Hasn't it been windy all along? It's so windy."

“No.” Abedo stepped forward, also extending a hand to close his eyes, then opening them again. “The gentle breeze is so tender, but what lies hidden beneath this tenderness?”

"A gentle breeze?"

Klee didn't understand, and neither did anyone else. But they all sensed something strange, because amidst the fierce gales of the Stormterror, a gentle breeze had appeared.

The gentle breeze was weak, yet it lingered and persisted even in the midst of a fierce storm. No one knew why, but it revealed a truth to everyone.

Even a gentle breeze can leave a mark.

The iron rod in Ying's hand trembled, trembled slightly, and finally, with a crisp sound, a crack appeared on it.

The crack was small, so small that no one would notice it, but as the trembling increased, the crack continued to spread all over its body, and finally, with a bang! it exploded in Ying's hand.

After the explosion came a dazzling blue light, and as the light faded, a knife appeared in Ying's hand.

It was a knife, a blue knife. The whole knife was like a blue gemstone, transparent yet so dazzling.

Strangely enough, it is larger than a typical one-handed sword when it is described as a one-handed sword, and much smaller when it is described as a two-handed sword.

To be precise, this was a longsword that had been stretched beyond its normal size. There were marks on the blade, as if it were about to shatter.

But the mark was strange; it didn't look like the marks of shattering, nor like knife or sword marks. Instead, the mark gave off a gentle feeling, yet it possessed a sharp edge within its gentleness.

Within the marks, one could see streaks of blue silk. This gave the knife the appearance of being torn apart by some force, yet perfectly rejoined.

The source of these marks was an inconspicuous pebble embedded in the hilt and guard. To this longsword, so perfectly crafted as a work of art, the pebble seemed rather jarring.

But all the energy and traces were linked to the rubble, which also revealed that the most mysterious and terrifying aspect of this knife lay there.

Holding the knife in front of her, Ying gently stroked the blade. Looking at the shooting star pendant on it, her heart skipped a beat.

Thinking back to the days when I placed the meteor pendant in Wu Qiu's hand, he must have been very sad.

"The gentle breeze leaves its mark... the wind's trace..."

"The scars left by the gentle breeze?"

Ying murmured a few words, then turned to look at Wu Qiu, a smile still on her lips. "Then, in the future, I will continue to protect you with this Wind Trace. The gentle breeze will only brush against your face, tearing apart the darkness before you, leaving warm scars."

After saying that, she suddenly gripped Fenghen tightly, her smile vanished, her eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she transformed into a blur as she rushed out.

The Wind Demon Dragon had already gotten up. When it saw the charging Ying, it unleashed hundreds of dragon breaths without hesitation.

Ying was incredibly fast, dodging two dragon breaths, but the third was already upon her. She drew her own wind and took the hit head-on.

With a bang, the dragon's breath exploded, transforming into swirling vortexes that dispersed in all directions. But then, the wind-marked area glowed with azure light, and a whirlwind appeared, absorbing the dispersed power.

Ying was slightly taken aback, then she understood what was going on.

"Is that so?" Thinking this, Ying stopped dodging and raised her hand to face the incoming attack.

With a single strike, the dragon's breath dissipated, transforming into power that was absorbed by the wind trail. At the same time, the wind trail's power noticeably increased, and the more it absorbed, the greater its power grew.

Finally, Luminous approached Stormterror. Stormterror stopped releasing its dragon breath and instead met Luminous's wind trail head-on with its physical body.

Just as the two sides were about to clash, at this final moment, Ying closed her eyes, her power suddenly increased, and the wind element surrounding her changed from cyan to blue.

The familiar power, the familiar moves. All the blue wind surged from Ying's body, flowing like water towards her wrists and the wind marks.

"Spirit Wind - Broken Dance".

The same move, but its power is completely different now. Ying has not only improved a lot in strength, but also has the support of Fenghen.

Of course, the most important factor was the power of the Wind God. With the Wind God's power, the power of this attack became unimaginably terrifying.

In the sky, Ying's figure was enveloped by a gentle blue breeze. Yes, a gentle breeze, unlike the storm-like aura of the Stormterror.

But when this attack erupted, Ying's already incredibly fast speed increased more than tenfold. It left a long blue streak, instantly sweeping past the Wind Demon Dragon's body.

The wind stopped. In that instant, the whole world fell silent; the raging wind ceased instantly, and the rolling dark clouds in the sky quieted down.

"Roar!!!!!!"

A spray of blood splattered into the sky. This roar was one of agony; it was the first time the Wind Demon Dragon had let out a painful howl. And as it cried out, a soft ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell upon it.

Where the sunlight shone, a very obvious wound appeared on the side of the Stormterror's neck.

It wasn't a fatal wound, but it truly injured this demigod-level powerhouse. And because of this attack, the Wind Demon Dragon seemed to regain some of its crazed rationality.

He looked around, then at the fallen Ying, and finally turned and took off.

Chapter 108: The Loser

The scourge of dragons is over, at least temporarily. Stormterror has fled, but the damage he inflicted on Mondstadt was devastating.

But none of this mattered to Wu Qiu anymore, because now he was sitting on a rock, staring blankly at the stars in the sky.

Yes, he returned to the Fallen Star Plain from his dreams once again. Here, Wu Qiu could quietly contemplate many things, but at the same time, he also felt a strange loneliness.

The stars kept him company, but he had no one to talk to. At first it was alright, but after a while, Wu Qiu couldn't take it anymore.

"Sigh~" Wu Qiu sighed and lay down on the grass, looking at the starry sky and said, "When will I wake up? And wasn't I asleep? Why am I here?"

Wu Qiu was complaining. He remembered that he was asleep, so why was he here? This didn't make sense, it wasn't scientific, and it wasn't even fantastical.

"Any sleep that you don't consciously want will come here, that's normal."

Suddenly, a voice rang out. Wu Qiu sat bolt upright, looking around. "Who's there? Who's there! Come out!"

"Let me tell you, I've trained. I can go toe-to-toe with Stormterror. Hiding won't help. I can see you! Come out!"

"I'm right behind you, just turn around and you'll see me." The voice rang out again, and Wu Qiu felt it was somewhat familiar. But now was not the time to think about that; the voice was indeed right behind him.

With a sudden turn, Wu Qiu assumed a fighting stance. Although it wasn't very useful, he couldn't lack the necessary imposing presence.

However, when Wu Qiu saw the Hilichurl standing in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, it's you! What brings you here..."

"Wait! How the hell did you get in here?!"

Wu Qiu's emotions, which she had just calmed down, surged again. She looked at Liu standing in front of her with a terrified expression. But she quickly recovered and revealed a cunning smile.

"I know, you're not Ryu. You must be some kind of monster who can probe my memories, become someone important to me, and then bewitch me."

"Hmph! You can't fool me, and your abilities are clearly inadequate. This Hilichurl means nothing to me. If you're going to transform, transform into Luminosity, and preferably, without clothes..."

"Ahem! Anyway, I'm going to give you a chance. You can transform into that kind of Sister Ying. Maybe I'll fall for it."

Do you know what it means to use the most righteous tone to say the most vulgar things? Wu Qiulai will tell you, this is it.

Liu, looking at Wu Qiu's serious but obviously perverted behavior, immediately darkened her face behind the mask.

In a flash, she disappeared from her spot, and by the time Wu Qiu reacted, Liu was already in front of him.

"Hey! Want to fight? Then do it! Don't think I'm easy to bully, let me tell you..."

A minute later, Wu Qiu, who had been slammed around eight times in the air, squatted on the ground and looked at Liu with a big smile, saying, "Um, is it really you? You didn't even tell me you were coming, it was quite sudden."

Liu sat down next to Wu Qiu and looked at him as she spoke, "Anyone who is chosen can come here. I just haven't been here for a long time."

After saying that, he looked at Wu Qiu, his eyes seeming to say, "You actually dare to come here."

"Wait, what's with that look? Is it so unfair that I was chosen?"

Ryu nodded decisively, "Of course, I always thought it was that girl, who knew it would be you."

"I! Fine, you're right, whatever you say. But what are you doing here now? Arguing with me? And can you tell me what's going on here?"

Wu Qiu spoke with a mixture of helplessness, curiosity, and accusation. Liu didn't answer immediately, remaining silent for a while before finally saying, "What about the things I entrusted to you for safekeeping?"

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

"Uh……"

"Um, this, that's all."
