My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

"Mondstadt is the land of wind, so since it's the land of wind... let's choose a color scheme that's not too far off from the wind god's style~"

As for having a unique flavor... System, you're not qualified to judge me on Sword Art Online.

Meanwhile, in reality, Ms. Xia Qing, who was wearing the ink vortex that had formed beside her to block her attack, was slightly startled.

Unexpectedly, there are people hidden in Mondstadt who possess the power bestowed upon them by Her Majesty the Empress, yet have no prior knowledge of them.

Tsk, as expected, no country should be underestimated. Now it seems the situation is getting a bit troublesome.

As the woman thought this, Xia Qing waved his right hand, and ink condensed into a gray-white beast-shaped guardian beside him. The woman then thought for a moment and said:

"With your strength, it would be a waste for you to serve Mondstadt. Her Majesty the Queen to whom we, the Fools, are now recruiting all who are capable."

A talent like yours would certainly deserve a place among us, the Fools. We offer generous benefits, and if you were willing to join, this monthly income shouldn't be a problem.

After saying this, the woman slowly raised her index finger. Looking at the woman, Xia Qing pondered for a moment and said in an uncertain tone, "A monthly salary of one hundred million?"

?

Good heavens, you're the insatiable wolf from the Wolfrune Territory outside Mondstadt?

A monthly salary of 100 million... Even an executive's salary isn't as outrageous as yours.

Seeing the look on Ms. Xia Qing's face, as if she were looking at a wolf that could never be satisfied, I thought, "Are you dreaming? Do you really think you can have anything in your dreams?"

Such greedy words... If you're a member of the Fools, this month's salary will at most give you a sweet flower-stuffed chicken.

No, forget about the sweet flower stuffed chicken. At most, I'll give you a sweet flower to show you what the consequences of greed are.

Seeing the lady's expression, Xia Qing slightly raised his right hand. "What if the negotiations break down now? Even though Mora is offered a monthly salary of 100 million, I might not necessarily go."

But as the right hand rose and the beast shape formed from ink charged towards the lady, the lady at that moment slightly raised her right hand, and frost flowed from her hand.

Chapter 551: My Wife is Actually Me?

The biting cold wind transformed into a pale stream of air that flowed continuously, making it quite conspicuous compared to the surrounding air.

Looking at the stranger standing not far from her, she said in an icy tone, "Do you dare to defy me, who possesses the power of the Ice God?"

I'll give you one last chance. Swear allegiance to me, and I might consider sparing your life.

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing feigned a fearful expression towards the Ice God's power: "Only... as long as I swear allegiance to you, and serve... the Fools..."

"Would you really... spare my life?"

Seeing Xia Qing's performance, the lady smiled with satisfaction, realizing that her own power had made her so fearful.

Ha, there are at least 13 Fatui members who are at the same level or even stronger than him, and they are no match for this person who can recruit people.

The fact that they possess so many powerful individuals means that the Fatui are the number one power on the Teyvat continent!

In reality, the people present weren't that important to her. After a moment's thought, the woman said with certainty:

"Ha ha, that's right, I can agree to your request. It's a deal: your loyalty in exchange for your life."

"Come on, now it's time to show your first worth. Kill Diluc for me."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing's expression suddenly changed, and she said in an icy tone, "But I refuse!"

"what?"

The lady paused slightly upon hearing this, while Xia Qing, who decisively declined the invitation, said firmly:

"My favorite thing to do is to say NO to those who think they are better than me!"

Just then, the system's voice suddenly sounded in response to Xia Qing's words: "Host, your identity is Qing, not Xi."

Hearing her words, Xia Qing thought for a moment and muttered to herself, "Never mind, it doesn't matter. Just pretend nothing happened."

As she finished speaking, Xia Qing looked at the woman not far away, her ten fingers spread wide, ink swirling around her fingertips. Facing the woman who was now her enemy, Xia Qing spoke calmly:

"My name is Xi, my age... Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten?"

I've long forgotten about that; it's not important anyway.

"Yes, I live in the hotel area in southern Mondstadt, and I'm unmarried."

Looking at Xi, who was slowly introducing herself in this strange sentence structure, the woman's voice, which had been frozen in place and could have easily taken the "Heart of God" from Diluc, was somewhat puzzled: "What are you talking about?"

Xia Qing continued her self-introduction at her own unhurried pace, leaving the system momentarily speechless. Well, it seems the host has given up and is now even referring to herself as Xi.

The state of mental connection does not mean that the light system can perceive Xia Qing's thoughts. The instant he perceived the system's thoughts, Xia Qing silently thought to himself:

"Actually, my name under this identity is Qingxi. Hmm, if that's the case, we can consider changing it. My real name under this identity is Qingxi!"

Xia Qing then gave this newly created identity a brand new name, and upon hearing the name, the system casually remarked:

"You've just added a modified reference name to the original name, Xi... Xi, host, do you really like this character?"

Actually, I'm quite curious about the physical structure of the host's previous race.

The system suddenly blocked the mind link, speaking in a tone like a mischievous friend. Xia Qing thought for a moment and replied:

"If I were to say I like this character, then my current behavior..."

Good grief, if you like her, you become her. Other transmigrators go to the real person to confess their feelings, but for me it's just imitating the real person.

This... my wife is actually myself?!

Just as Xia Qing was thinking of this, the system continued, seemingly having discovered something interesting, and said:

"Host, wait for me! Since you like it so much, I'll go make you a body for Xi right now, and while I'm at it, I'll also get myself a body for Nian. Then we can experiment with some fun things, shall we?"

Since you really like Yu's appearance, then please try out the body I'll make for you tonight! So please, let's try something fun together tonight!

After saying that, the system disappeared. The two were actually communicating very quickly. Xia Qing was startled when she received the answer from the system.

Okay, it's so astringent.

System, I didn't expect you to have this kind of taste.

Using other women's bodies to stage a lesbian romance...

What? I like this too?

Great!

Xia Qing shook her head abruptly. Wait, what am I thinking? I should block out these strange emotions in my body first.

I wouldn't mind if the system insisted on it, but now is definitely not the time to think about these things.

After ending the communication between the system and Xia Qing, Xia Qing turned his gaze back to the lady. Looking at the lady not far away, Xia Qing slowly uttered his final lines.

After hearing his words, the woman sneered: "The reason you didn't choose to run away from me, the executor of the Fools, is actually for the sake of a peaceful sleep?"

What a ridiculous reason! Are you really that confident? Oh well, now I will grant you a truly peaceful sleep, an eternal sleep called death.

As soon as she finished speaking, the lady made a decisive move, while Xia Qing, whose ink had already been fully formed, controlled the ink to fight against her.

Ink and frost each occupy half the space here, and both forces, no less powerful than their opponents, are now seeking the key to victory.

Diluc was still standing there quietly watching, not because he had chosen to betray, but because he was simply unable to act.

The previous battle at the Wind Dragon Ruins had depleted a significant amount of the power within the tome within his body, and Diluc couldn't be certain that his current attempt to break free would be futile.

Instead of trying to break free now, it's better to wait until the crucial moment to make a choice. Maybe you can even deliver a fatal blow to that lady through a sneak attack.

What I seek is not a battle for absolute justice, but to transform myself to drive away the darkness and proclaim the hope of dawn.

Therefore, Diluc wouldn't mind using some sneak attacks or similar methods. As Diluc watched quietly, the battle on the scene was nearing its end.

"Mondstadt is indeed full of hidden talents. I was careless this time and didn't use Flash."

Barbatos, you're lucky this time. A powerful figure capable of challenging me just happened to pass by.

But you won't be so lucky next time. When that time comes, I'll come back and take your Eye of God again.

"I felt like I had suffered internal injuries after being accidentally hit by the ink halo," the woman said. After saying that, she immediately began to retreat without saying another word.

Chapter 552: Everyone in Mondstadt knows the lady was brutally beaten by the Wind God.jpg

After pretending to ponder for a moment, Xia Qing looked at the fleeing woman who had released frost in an attempt to stop her and muttered to himself:

"I'm not very good at chasing. Although the ink beasts I've summoned are not weak in battle, their movement speed is relatively slow compared to ordinary people."

Even if they could catch up, the chase would likely have taken enough time for the executor to escape to a densely populated area. And if they could actually defeat the Fatui executor in a crowded place…

"Forget it, it's better to give up the pursuit and silence them. Completely provoking the Fatui is definitely not a wise choice."

After muttering something to himself, Xia Qing glanced at Diluc, whose body was frozen in place, and gently waved his hand, his dark ink transforming into threads that connected with Diluc.

The frozen Diluc felt the chill within his body being drawn away. Looking at the stranger who possessed the power to resist the woman, Diluc took a breath and said:

"Thank you for your help, but... who exactly are you, possessing enough power to contend with an executive officer?"

As the dark side of Mondstadt, Diluc harbored some wariness towards this stranger he had never met before.

"I am just a passing genius physicist. In fact, you don't need to be wary of my existence at all. What bad intentions could a scholar like me, who is dedicated to seeking the truth, have?"

Besides, I'm just a scientist; I don't have your kind of power. I was only able to resist the lady because of them."

After saying this, Xia Qing touched the ink beasts she had created with her power of combination, which actually had no independent intelligence.

Using the title of a genius physicist, posing as a scholar, and uttering lines from a certain "poor" scientist, Xia Qing felt that he had a lot of "Xi" elements in him.

"Scholars, none of us possess such power..."

Hearing Xia Qing's words, Diluc's mood was somewhat complicated. He easily dispelled the frost that had frozen him, and even the power of the Fatui Enforcers was considered weak.

While Diluc silently shielded Venti from disaster, Venti herself, feeling that today was just another ordinary day, was leisurely strolling down the streets of Mondstadt with an apple in her hand.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared at the edge of her field of vision, and Wendy felt a little puzzled upon seeing that figure.

Hey, isn't that the Fatui Enforcer I met at Dvalin's place before?

How come you look like you've been beaten up after just a few days?

Seeing the somewhat disheveled lady clutching her lower abdomen, Wendy thought that if she passed by the Knights of Favonius later, she could tell them about this.

Wendy had a rare urge to do something serious, so the standard for this "serious thing" seemed a bit low.

The lady was unaware that Mondstadt's true Anemo Archon was about to transform into his avatar to report the true Anemo Archon and tell Mondstadt about his current situation.

Somewhat disheveled, she continued walking towards the outskirts of the city. After walking for a while, she glanced at the surrounding alleys and decided to enter one of them to rest for a bit.
