He had already gone blind as soon as he arrived in Genshin Impact.

This allowed her to finally let go of the last burden in her heart.

It's good that you're back safe and sound. It's good that you're back.

Jean breathed a sigh of relief and then began to think about who exactly was targeting Mondstadt.

After all, this monster was clearly being directed by someone behind the scenes, but the other party probably didn't expect that they had the ability to flip the table so easily.

The eerie black aura spreading throughout Mondstadt is another issue that needs to be considered.

However, the key point is that Wu Di helped with all of this, and Qin expressed her deepest gratitude to Wu Di once again.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door opened, and there stood Kaeya and Diluc.

"Captain Qin, we're back~".

"Jin, what happened in Mondstadt while we were out?"

Compared to Kaeya's roundabout approach, Diluc was more direct; he asked about Jean's situation as soon as he entered.

Without hesitation, Qin recounted the entire incident in detail, including the black energy, and also praised Kaiya's plan.

"I knew it. Look, even the Wind God didn't say anything, which means he agrees."

Kaiya became smug and went straight to a chair, crossed his legs, and acted as arrogantly as could be.

Diluc ignored Kaeya's antics and remained very serious.

"Any leads yet?"

"Not yet, but we've already sent people to investigate."

Qin shook her head. She had just sent someone to investigate not long ago, and estimated it would take some time.

"Is that so? Alas, these are turbulent times."

Diluc sighed, looking somewhat helpless. At that moment, Kaeya stood up again.

"In that case, why don't we throw a banquet?"

"Hmm? A banquet?"

Jean was puzzled by Kaiya's suggestion. What time of day is it? Why hold a banquet?

"Yes, you see, we're completely clueless right now, and we can't keep our nerves on edge forever, so we need to relax for a moment, otherwise it's easy for a person to break down."

"And this is a good opportunity to thank that person and get closer to him and Mondstadt. This way, we can show our sincerity and also give ourselves a moment of rest."

"It's a win-win situation!"

Qin was touched by Kaiya's words and, since she was wondering how to express her gratitude to Wu Di, she could take this opportunity to do so.

Then he looked at Diluc, wondering what his opinion was.

"Senior, what do you think?"

“I don’t care. He protected Mondstadt, and I will naturally remember that kindness.”

“Then I will provide the venue and food.”

Diluc crossed his arms and gave his answer: he didn't like owing favors to others.

"Hey! I've been waiting for you to say that. Let's set a time, how about the night after tomorrow? That way we'll have more time to prepare."

"Invite more people then, let's make it lively."

Kaiya had a smug look on his face, a look of pleasure on his face. After all, who doesn't like getting something for free?

"Okay, the day after tomorrow night."

Qin nodded, and then the two put aside their playful mood and began to talk, after all, the crisis was not completely over.

-

After the crisis was over, Barbara grabbed Wu Di and hurried towards the West Wind Cathedral.

The girl couldn't wait to ask Wu Di how he was able to do that.

Throughout the entire conversation, Wu Di kept saying, "Slow down, don't rush, watch out for people, and be careful where you step." He was somewhat helpless in the face of the girl's growing curiosity.

Finally, the two returned to their room. Barbara sat directly on her bed and patted the bed next to her, inviting Wu Di to sit down.

There was no other way, so Wu Di had to sit down, but before that, he took the jelly that he had been hiding on his shoulder and put it in his hand.

Thanks to Barbara's explanation, Wu Di understood that a talking monster is either a demon god.

They are either the offspring of gods, or they are of a special race, such as the demon race of Inazuma.

Apart from that, other monsters are unable to speak, let alone slimes made entirely of elements, which are unheard of.

Therefore, in order to avoid attracting attention, Wu Di could only tell Jelly not to talk when she was outside.

At the time, the jelly claimed that it could change size.

It has a normal shape normally, but when it's outside, it turns into the size of a ping-pong ball.

To be honest, the smaller jelly is even cuter.

When going out, she would sit on Wu Di's shoulder and hide herself by covering her hair.

His hair is now naturally straight because Barbara thinks it looks better that way, so Wu Di goes along with it.

In Wu Di's hands, the jelly returned to its original size. Upon seeing this, Barbara immediately reached out her hand.

He took the jelly, put it in his arms and rubbed it, after all, the jelly felt really great.

But none of this could stop the girl's curiosity; her bling-bling eyes stared straight at Wu Di.

"Xiao Di, I didn't know you were so amazing! I've only ever seen such a huge tornado in books, I never thought I'd actually see one in person."

"Such a huge tornado suddenly sucked all the Hilichurls in and wiped them all out."

"You're really amazing! How did you do that?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, he spoke with great emotion to express his inner shock, and he looked extremely cute.

Wu Di smiled, waved his hand, and spoke.

"No, no, it's just a feeling."

"Feel?"

"Yes, I felt I could use this power, and then I used it."

"Really? Xiao Di, you are really amazing. Not only are you stunningly beautiful, but you also have a great personality and incredible strength."

"Compared to that, I'm rather insignificant..."

Barbara felt a little disappointed for some reason. Although the time they spent together was short, the girl genuinely considered Wu Di her best friend.

Moreover, I've now discovered how outstanding my good friends are, and this comparison has created a sense of gap within me, leaving me feeling empty and somewhat uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Wu Di extended his hand and said with a smile.

"But we're still best friends. We can improve together. For example, I can teach you how to control the water element."

"And you yourself are a beloved idol, Barbara."

"Have more confidence in yourself."

Barbara listened to Wu Di's heartfelt words in a daze, and for a moment she felt her eyes well up with tears. For the first time, she felt so happy to be recognized.

Overjoyed, she reached out and grasped Wu Di's hand, a genuine smile spreading across her face as she spoke through tears.

"Yes! We are the very best of friends!"

Chapter 23 The Waters of the Fruit Wine Lake, Klee's Tears~

—The day before the banquet

As usual, Barbara took Wu Di out for a walk, helping him get used to life in Mondstadt.

As a good-looking duo, they attract attention wherever they go.

But today was different; Wu Di could sense the change in the way people were looking at him.

It's not like before, "What is this? It's beautiful, let me take another look."

There was more suspicion and malice in the surrounding gazes; the atmosphere was now extremely strange.

This left Wu Di feeling lost, because he could sense that those gazes were mainly focused on him.

This puzzled Wu Di. Where did this unprovoked malice come from?

As she walked, Barbara sensed the strange atmosphere and looked around.

Noticing those gazes, the girl frowned slightly.

"Xiao Di, let's go find Xiao Ke Li to play. She should be out by now."

"Oh, alright."

Wu Di had wanted to leave the street for a long time; the malicious and suspicious gazes were making him feel irritable.

Then, following Barbara's lead, they arrived at the Knights' Building.

As soon as the door opened, a lively voice was heard, and a fiery red figure rushed towards Wu Di.

"Da da da~, ouch."

When Wu Di saw that a child had bumped into him and looked like she was about to fall flat on her backside, he reached out and helped her up.

“Claire, slow down. Oh, it’s Lord Wu Di and Barbara.”

Good morning.

Good morning, Commander Qin.

Good morning~.

Qin followed Keli and jogged over. Then she saw Wu Di and Barbara and greeted them in a friendly manner.

"Wow!"
