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

A gasp came from beside Wu Di's legs. He looked down and was surprised to see the little red creature.

Klee stared in astonishment at the incredibly beautiful "big sister" in front of her.

The little guy said he had never seen such a good-looking person before, and even made a sound in surprise.

"Big sister, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen."

Keli stretched out her hands, gesturing to express her shock and surprise at the adorable little one.

Barbara and Qin couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Although it was a heartfelt compliment, the term "big sister" left Wu Di feeling somewhat helpless.

He crouched down to be at eye level with Claire and spoke in a friendly manner.

“I’m happy about Klee’s praise, but I’m the older brother, not the older sister.”

"Huh? Are you the older brother?"

Keli's cute little face was full of doubt. The little girl looked at Wu Di, who was ridiculously good-looking, with a puzzled look in her eyes.

Then I simply gave up thinking about it.

The little guy reached out his little hand, grabbed Wu Di's hand, and said with a bright smile.

"Big brother, let's go play together with Klee!"

"And Barbara too."

It was only then that Keli noticed Barbara next to Wu Di. Seeing Barbara's "friendly" gaze, she quickly invited her over as well.

"Okay, Claire, is that alright, Jean?"

Barbara looked at Qin, seeking her opinion.

"Yes, things have been a bit turbulent lately, so I'm relieved that you have time to look after Klee."

Qin nodded in agreement, as she had been extremely busy dealing with the gathering of dark energy and demons lately.

If someone keeps an eye on Klee and doesn't let her fry fish or anything like that, she'll be able to focus more on those things.

Because Wu Di hadn't seen Ke Li in the past few days, and that was the reason.

The fish of Guojiu Lake are well-qualified to say this.

The waters of the Fruit Wine Lake, Klee's tears~.

"Yay! Klee, let's go!"

Hearing Qin agree, Keli was overjoyed and immediately pulled Wu Di outside.

I don't know where the little guy got such strength, he just pulled him away.

Goodbye, Commander Qin.

Goodbye, Barbara.

Barbara said goodbye and turned to leave, but she heard the word "sister" clearly, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

Feeling much better, she jogged over to Wu Di and Ke Li, who had already walked away.

"Wait for me!"

Watching the three walk away, Qin's previously relaxed expression turned serious again.

The exploration of the dark energy is progressing too slowly; now is not the time to relax.

Then he went back to his office and continued his work.

-

As he walked back onto the street, those suspicious and fearful gazes returned to Wu Di, leaving him feeling lost and uneasy.

Barbara naturally sensed this and suggested going out of town to explore the surrounding area, to which Claire readily agreed.

Just as they stepped out of the city gate, they ran into Ying and Paimon, who seemed to be strolling around as well.

After all, the commissions for exterminating monsters were so plentiful that they wouldn't have to worry about money for a long time.

Ying saw Wu Di and his group, greeted them, and then moved close to Wu Di.

I took his hand directly, felt the texture of his hand, and sighed inwardly.

It's so great that we're all girls; we can get up close and personal without any inhibitions.

Yes, at this time Ying did not know Wu Di's true gender and still regarded him as a girl.

Ying met Wu Di through Amber's introduction. When Ying first saw Wu Di, she was amazed by his beauty.

She felt that her lesbian—no, her beauty—had activated her "concubine radar."

Ying approached Wu Di with an air of familiarity, took his hand, and then asked him about his well-being, while secretly stroking Wu Di's hand in the process.

Seeing Ying's fickle nature, Amber was furious, but she didn't tell Ying the truth about Wu Di.

Wu Di assumed that Amber had already told Ying about his situation, so he didn't explain it himself.

However, Ying's outgoing nature initially made Wu Di feel very awkward, but he gradually got used to it.

Paimon stated that although they had only spent a short time together, she had already seen through Ying's true nature.

She's the kind of person who likes to get close to pretty girls, while maintaining a subtle distance from men.

Barbara felt a subtle feeling welling up inside her as she watched Ying so naturally take her place.

She was the one who arrived first!

It's supposed to be a movie for four people, so why am I the only one without a seat?

Paimon, standing to the side: ?

In short, the group has grown in size, which makes Klee very happy. The more people there are, the more lively it is, and the happier she is!

She wanted to praise her fish-frying tips to everyone right then and there, but then she suddenly remembered something Kaeya had told her.

Under the threat of being locked up again, he put away the bouncing bomb in his hand.

Chapter 24 Xiao Di! I want to learn!

The joyful time will eventually come to an end, and everyone will go home after dusk.

Wu Di and Barbara returned to the West Wind Cathedral. After a simple meal and shower, they went to bed early because someone was waiting for them.

As Wu Di slowly drifted into sleep, he found himself back in that solemn, luxurious, yet dilapidated and lifeless palace.

Wu Di found himself returning here from time to time, and the little girl whose face he couldn't see was always waiting for him.

He would also share funny stories with the little girl, and seeing her laugh out loud, he couldn't help but laugh along with her.

For some reason, Wu Di felt that he could speak freely in front of little girls, such as when he made new friends.

He would tell her about the new foods he ate. Although Wu Di couldn't see the little girl's face clearly, he felt that she was smiling.

Sometimes Wu Di couldn't tell if he was in a dream or in reality, because when he was here, he could clearly feel the touch when he touched other objects.

However, Wu Di didn't think much of it. Sometimes he would chat with the little girl about interesting things, and sometimes he would take the little girl to explore the palace.

To be honest, Wu Di thought the palace was huge and incredibly complex. Sometimes he would even get lost and have to ask the little girl to lead him out.

Near the end of each session, the two would go to the windowsill to look at the scenery outside, and then Wu Di would fall into a deep sleep, while the little girl would whisper something in his ear.

See you next time.

And there were also some mutterings to himself.

"It'll be over soon, and I'll be able to come back to you..."

When I woke up again, it was the next day.

—On the day of the banquet

Just as he got up, he heard a knock on the door, and then Barbara pushed the door open and entered. Wu Di sensed that she was very happy and couldn't help but ask her questions out of curiosity.

"Barbara, has something good happened?"

"Hmm? Yes~, there's a surprise for you, Xiaodi~."

Barbara's words were full of mystery, and her tone was like that of an adult preparing a surprise for a child.

"Oh, then I'll wait and see?"

"Mmm! Xiao Di, look forward to tonight!"

Barbara patted her still-developing chest, with an expression that said, "I promise you'll be very surprised."

Before Wu Di woke up, Qin came to see Barbara and asked her to tell Wu Di that a surprise was waiting for him.

After all, it's better to tell the person directly than to keep it from them and then give them a surprise.

There's a surprise waiting for him tonight; he should look forward to it.

Sometimes, the anticipation process can be very exciting and joyful.

Because family and friends are paying attention to me and caring about me.

But in the past 18 years, Wu Di has rarely had any expectations, because in the end, very few of them have come true.

But things are different now. Wu Di could feel the enthusiasm in Barbara's words, and he couldn't help but start to look forward to it as well.

Because of the strange atmosphere around her when she went out shopping recently, Barbara didn't want to take Wu Di out to experience those people's stares anymore.

Barbara couldn't understand why there was so much malice towards someone who had only been there for a short time.

So Barbara suggested that Wu Di teach her how to use the water element outside the church, and Wu Di readily agreed.

The two arrived outside the church and heard that some people had been loitering there recently, but Ying had chased them away.

At the start of the lesson, Wu Di briefly explained his feelings about using elements, such as the element of water, from gentle streams to raging waves.

Wu Di paid great attention to the feeling of water flowing, and while explaining, he also demonstrated it himself.

A stream of water, transformed into a fish, flowed freely in his hand, as if it were real.

Barbara watched intently, then tried reaching out to touch the fish that had been formed from water.

It's very moist; it's truly made entirely of water.
