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

(The Hilichurl says, "Nigeg Ludayo!")

After wandering around, Wu Di discovered the remains of many huge stone pillars. He went up to examine them closely and found obvious signs of human intervention.

To Wu Di's surprise, there were traces of human life on the top of the snow mountain, and it even looked like a palace.

(This world is truly amazing.)

Wu Di sighed inwardly, then continued to wander around. He didn't know how much time had passed when he was about to leave and head to the cave where Du Lin was to check on the situation.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard in the sky, and Dulin made a dazzling appearance.

"Aha! I've found you!"

A powerful female voice pierced the sky and descended from above, arriving in front of Wu Di.

Before Wu Di could react, a tiny creature, no bigger than a basketball, flew in front of him and tentatively spoke.

"Are you Dulin?"

"What's with that doubt in your tone? I am Dulin!"

Wu Di sized up Xiao Long, who had his arms crossed, and then drew his own conclusion.

"It's so tiny."

"what?"

"Isn't that right? I originally thought you would be at least dozens of times bigger than you are now."

Du Lin felt extremely embarrassed by Wu Di's matter-of-fact tone.

"Um, well, there's a reason for this."

"Because I was resurrected ahead of schedule, I consumed a lot of energy, which is why my body shape has become like this."

"But don't take advantage of my inability to see clearly what I'm capable of. Just give me enough time to recover!"

"A body size of several hundred meters is absolutely no problem."

As Dulin finished speaking, he proudly raised his head, as if he could already see his domineering appearance after he recovered.

"how long it takes?"

"Well, according to normal time, it would take at least several decades to get back to my former appearance..."

"If we can find a place where enough elements can gather, this time can be shortened considerably."

When Dulin answered, her eyes darted around, and she looked incredibly embarrassed, as if she wasn't very confident and needed time to recover.

"That……."

"Wow! Stop asking, stop asking! I can't take it anymore!"

"Hmph! Hmph!"

Dulin let out a desperate wail. Every word the man in front of him spoke was like a sharp blade, piercing his weak spot and causing him unbearable pain.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore. So, what are your plans for the future?"

After hearing that Wu Di would not ask any more questions, Du Lin stopped wailing and began to think.

Now that my biggest wish has been fulfilled, I feel somewhat bored. Should I run freely? Sing freely? But with my current abilities, I'm afraid I'd be caught as soon as I got out.

Thinking of this, Dulin looked at Wu Di. As an elemental being, she was naturally very sensitive to elemental fluctuations.

For example, Wu Di is currently surrounded by an astonishing amount of elemental energy, but it is well hidden, unlike the Seed of Ice of the Form, which only gathers one type of element.

The amount of elements around him has now reached a delicate balance.

Chapter 36 Return to the End, What's Wrong With You?

As long as Dulin stays by Wu Di's side, he will be able to recover in a faster time.

Moreover, Dulin discovered that Wu Di already had two elemental beings by his side, so adding himself as well wouldn't be unreasonable, right?

Once Dulin understood, he announced it loudly and directly.

"I've made up my mind! I'm going to stay by your side!"

"Ok?"

Dulin's decision surprised Wu Di. He had expected her to say something like, "I'm finally back to life! I'm going to go out and have fun right now! Go eat delicious food!"

"Oh, don't be surprised. Your existence is like the best habitat for us elemental creatures."

"As long as I stay by your side, the element content will increase rapidly, which is completely beneficial and harmless."

Hearing Dulin's explanation reminded Wu Di that the Rubik's Cube had also told him that staying by his side would be very beneficial for it.

"alright."

Thinking that it would be impolite to refuse since things had come to this point, Wu Di agreed to Du Lin's idea.

"Great!"

Du Lin was overjoyed at Wu Di's agreement and immediately started dancing with excitement.

To be fair, seeing the little dragon dancing around in front of him made Wu Di feel a little amused, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha."

The arrival of new partners has strengthened Wu Di's team, as seen in the "friendly" exchange between Jelly and Dulin.

"Haha, so you're Jelly, right? Stick with me, I'll protect you."

"Don't grumble."

"Oh, if you join now, you can be the second-in-command. But once I'm back to my old self, you'll be begging me, and I won't give you that position anymore."

"Don't grumble."

"You! Never mind (o_ _)ノ."

It made him suddenly realize that it wasn't so bad to have something lively like this.

The snow mountain has been explored, the novelty has worn off, and two more companions have been added. So where to go next? Wu Di looked at Jelly and asked.

"Jelly, besides snow-capped mountains, are there any other interesting places?"

"Gurgle~".

"Would you like to visit this world's largest port, little Digu?"

"The largest port? Wouldn't that be crowded with people?"

Wu Di was somewhat inclined to refuse, because he didn't really want to see anyone lately; whenever he did, those malicious words would pop into his mind.

"We don't need to go in."

"Only from the outside can you see the entire port without having to go inside."

"Ok."

Wu Di thought for a moment. Since they didn't need to enter the town and could just watch from the outside, that would be fine. Having figured it out, Wu Di nodded.

"Then let's go check out the world's largest port!"

Liyue - Mt. Aozang

"So you came all this way to find me just to ask me to do something for you?"

"That's strange. This seems to be the first time you've come to ask me for a favor."

"Who has such great influence to invite the Wind God?"

Zhongli took a sip of tea and looked at Wendy with curiosity. Wendy, in response to Zhongli's curiosity, rubbed her hands together somewhat shyly.

"Oh dear, it's because something happened and I ended up owing someone a favor."

"Right now, he's traveling to Liyue, so he came to you to ask you to take good care of him for me."

"Of course! I certainly won't let you do this for nothing. This bottle of fine vintage wine will be my reward."

Wendy reluctantly took out her prized possession and handed it to Zhongli. Zhongli took it, opened the lid, and took a light sniff.

"Hmm, the aroma is rich and fragrant; it's a good bottle of wine."

"If that's the case, then I'll help you."

"Then it's settled! His name is Wu Di. I have some things to attend to, so I'll be going now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wendy disappeared from his seat. Before disappearing, he glanced longingly at the wine bottle in Zhongli's hand, afraid that if he didn't leave soon, he wouldn't want to leave at all.

It hurts, it hurts too much.

"The contract is complete."

—Liyue—Stonegate

With Diluc's help, Luminous and Paimon accepted a caravan quest to Liyue. Luminous joined the caravan as a guard, so they didn't have to travel on foot.

"We've arrived at Shimen!"

After a long day's journey, Ying and Paimon finally arrived at the border of Liyue. However, according to the caravan leader, once they reached Stonegate, there were still two days' journey left. Of course, this was under normal circumstances.

If nothing unexpected happens today, we should be able to reach Wangshu Inn before sunset, and then we can have a good meal.

Ying glanced at Paimon, who was sleeping beside her, and then looked outside again. After all, as a guard, she had to ensure the safety of the caravan.

"Sigh, waiting is indeed the most agonizing thing."

A sigh dissipated into the sky with the wind.

—Liyue—Gui Li Plain

A day has passed since Wu Di left the snow mountain, and as Jelly reminded him, it was already dusk.

Since it's already dusk, let's stop and rest. Suddenly, a question popped into Wu Di's mind. He turned to look at Du Lin beside him and asked.

"Dulin, are you hungry?"

"Me? Of course I'm not hungry. Have you ever seen an elemental creature get hungry? That's ridiculous."

"So elemental creatures don't need to eat?"

"Well, you can't say that. For example, when I'm craving something, I just want to eat it."
