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

Wouldn't that be even better!

He strode directly up to Wu Di, grasped his hand, and spoke in a very serious tone.

"I believe you."

Then she took the opportunity to touch his hand, and it really felt amazing! Barbara gave him a thumbs up.

"Um, thank you?"

In short, after learning that Wu Di was a boy, Ying and Lisa became even more unrestrained, Jean became even more reserved, Diluc and Kaeya went into a frenzy, and Venti drank even more happily.

Under Noelle's care, the adorable Klee and Paimon ate even more happily, while Amber and Barbara's joy deepened.

Therefore, everyone has a bright future.

Wu Di could only maintain an awkward yet polite smile in response to this result, after all, he had forgotten to tell Qin and the others.

However, the banquet was still a great success, and everyone went home satisfied.

Chapter 26 Rumors and Gossip

After the banquet, Barbara and Wu Di returned to the church, said goodnight to each other, and then lay down in bed.

He placed the jelly on his chest, gently stroking it, and then slowly opened his mouth, his tone filled with longing for the future.

"Jelly, do you think I've found my home in this world?"

"I'm not sure, it should be 'gu'."

"Hehe, is that so?"

Wu Di chuckled softly. He felt a warm glow inside. How long had it been since he had felt this fulfilling?

He didn't know; all he knew was that he seemed to have found his place in this world.

Thinking this, Wu Di, with a faint smile on his face, slowly drifted off to sleep...

—Distance *&#￥% days

Two days have passed since the banquet ended, but these two days have not been easy for the people of Mondstadt.

Because small-scale monster sieges occurred for two consecutive days, although the number was only fifty or sixty, they were easily dealt with by the members of the Knights.

However, the people of Mondstadt have already noticed that something is wrong with their bodies; they are deeply weak and exhausted.

They asked other people and found that the basic symptoms were all similar, only varying in degree.

This made them wonder if something had happened in Mondstadt that caused them to become like this.

Meanwhile, within Mondstadt, some unpleasant rumors were circulating about Wu Di.

——Cat Tail Tavern

Have you heard?

A man was quietly asking his companions questions.

"What did you hear?"

"?"

The man's two companions stared at him blankly, taking a sip of their drinks in the process.

"It's about our situation, and the recent frequent monster sieges."

"what happened?"

"Didn't the Knights already take care of the second one? What do you have to worry about?"

That's not the point!

The man waved his hand, then lowered his head and said softly.

"I'm referring to the culprits that caused this."

"?!"

"What do you know? Tell me about it?"

The man's two companions immediately became interested. When they saw the man press his hand down, the two companions instantly understood.

Then she lowered her body and put her ear close to the man, only to hear him speak mysteriously.

"Recently, didn't a super beautiful young lady from some unknown family come to the city?"

"what happened?"

"Don't interrupt! Look, ever since he came, strange things have started happening in the city, and then there was the monster attack."

"I heard from others that it's because he's cursed!"

"Huh? Really?"

"Oh my, I heard this from someone else, and once you connect the dots, you'll find it's really suspicious."

“Look, she looks like a rich young lady, but she doesn’t have a single servant by her side. And since she came here, all these strange things have happened. It’s hard not to suspect that she is cursed.”

The man's two companions fell into thought. Although there was some truth to it, it was too far-fetched. At this moment, one of the companions spoke up.

"Wake up! Don't target others just because they're a little special. Besides, there are a lot of new faces in Mondstadt lately, and you're not targeting them either? I think you're just hating someone because you love them!"

"Haha, that's right, I don't think that's enough evidence."

Seeing that neither of his two companions trusted him, the man became anxious and quickly spoke up.

"Hey, hey, don't you believe me? It won't be long before something bad happens."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

The man was furious when his two companions started giving him perfunctory answers.

—A Gift from Angels

Have you heard?

"..."

—The Deer Hunter

"What happened during this period was because..."

"..."

These rumors began to spread throughout Mondstadt. Although most people expressed disbelief, the seeds of doubt had already been sown in their hearts, and they only needed a little "nourishment" to take root and sprout.

In the end, these rumors finally reached Qin's ears, causing her to frown.

"That's how it is, Commander Qin. I'm quite certain that someone is stirring things up behind the scenes."

As a regular at the tavern, these rumors naturally reached Kaiya's ears. He "friendly"ly joined their conversation and obtained any information he could.

"Thank you for your report, Kaya, it's very important."

Qin rubbed her hair helplessly. She was already overwhelmed with work because of the black energy and the investigation of the monster siege, and now these things had to come up.

Qin just hoped that these things hadn't reached Wu Di's ears yet, otherwise the hard-won foundation of friendship would be destroyed in an instant.

"Kaiya, then I'll leave this matter to you."

"Of course, that's one of my strengths."

"Okay, then you can go ahead and get busy."

"Then I'll take my leave."

Looking at the closed door, Qin sighed, glanced out the window—what a turbulent time—and then continued to bury herself in her work.

-

Barbara hasn't taken Wu Di out these past two days either; the two of them have been practicing controlling the water element next to the church.

Barbara is learning very quickly. The fish swimming in her hand is already half the size of the one in Wu Di's hand, and it can swim naturally. I believe that soon she will be able to try other shapes of water flow.

This made Barbara even happier. Of course, what made the girl happiest was Wu Di's encouragement and praise, which always gave her a lot of motivation.

"Alright, that's enough practice for today."

Barbara glanced at the sky; it was already dusk. She knew she needed to balance practice with rest.

"Okay, that's enough for today. This is your reward."

"Goo?"

Wu Di handed the jelly in his arms to Barbara.

"Yay! It's jelly, let me touch it."

Barbara excitedly took the jelly and started kneading it. The wonderful texture made the girl unable to stop for a moment, and an expression of enjoyment appeared on her face.

Just then, Wu Di suddenly turned around and looked to the side, because the wind told him that someone was spying on him.

"Who is it?!"

Wu Di's exclamation made Barbara look over as well. A moment later, a man came up the stairs and stood in front of the two of them, his face full of embarrassment at being discovered.

"Mr. Albert?"

Clearly, Barbara knew this man because he was her biggest fan. She always saw him whenever she sang, and over time she learned his name from the nun.

"Haha, sorry, I originally came to help with the cleaning, but I found you were busy, so I planned to clean up after you left."

Although Albert was awkwardly scratching the back of his head, his eyes remained fixed on the jelly in Barbara's arms the whole time.

The rumors circulating in Mondstadt kept replaying in my mind.

The monsters attacked the city because of this very beautiful person in front of me...

Chapter 27 Okay, okay, I won't leave.

Barbara noticed Albert's gaze and realized that although the jelly was very cute and felt nice to the touch, in the eyes of ordinary people, it was an elemental creature that could easily kill them—a wind slime.

Barbara quickly put the jelly behind her back and said with a smile.
