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

She gave a weak laugh, and the light in her eyes disappeared.

Just then, a noise came from outside the window, as if something had fallen.

But it quickly disappears, making people think it's an illusion.

(Rosalia: Slippery, slippery!)

Barbara gently patted her face to quickly regain her composure.

The unhappiness that a lively and lovely girl encounters comes quickly and goes quickly.

"Can I call you Xiao Di?"

"Well, yes."

Faced with the request from the now lively girl, Wu Di nodded, a smile curving his lips that momentarily stunned Barbara.

Then Barbara took Wu Di's hand again, because it really felt good to touch.

Sometimes, when someone is good-looking enough, just looking at them is a pleasure, let alone getting to know them up close.

Barbara was staring intently at his face the whole time, and then she noticed that Wu Di's eyes were closed.

"Xiaodi, what happened to your eyes?"

"Hmm? Eyes? Actually, it's nothing, just blindness."

Wu Di stated the sad truth in a very calm tone, but he himself felt nothing about it.

It's just a matter of losing his sight, but to be able to start a new life is so worthwhile, especially since Wu Di's vision isn't completely gone now.

But for Barbara, who had never experienced much human suffering and had always been well protected, this was a different story.

This answer made her feel uncomfortable and guilty, and she asked herself why she brought up the topic.

"I'm sorry, Xiaodi, I shouldn't have brought this up."

"Huh? Why should I apologize?"

As the girl's interactions increased, Wu Di gradually adapted, and his tone of voice became more normal.

However, Wu Di felt a warmth in his heart at Barbara's guilt.

Seeing the somewhat sad girl, Wu Di was reminded of the time when his mother was still by his side.

When I'm unhappy or sad, I make comforting gestures.

Wu Di subconsciously reached out his other hand and placed it on Barbara's head, gently rubbing it and softly comforting her.

"You are a kind-hearted and good girl."

“My blindness is just a small price I have to pay, and I think it’s worth it. You don’t need to feel too bad for me.”

"And I'm not completely blind now. I can still see a little bit. You see, my hand can touch your head directly, which is good proof."

The gentle pat on the head and the tender words instantly soothed Barbara's distress.

Moreover, this gentle touch reminded her of when her mother would lull her to sleep when she was a child—the same warmth and the same sense of security.

"Mother......."

Barbara accidentally whispered it out loud, then immediately realized that she had called the person she had only met a few times "mother."

It made her incredibly shy, her face flushed, and her eyes sparkled, making her look even more adorable.

However, she didn't immediately leave Wu Di's palm. Instead, she was both shy and enjoying his caress, but the caressing time ended quickly.

Wu Di realized that his behavior seemed too offensive to a girl he had just met.

The fact that she made such an intimate gesture as patting his head made him quickly withdraw his hand.

"I'm sorry, I was too offensive."

"Yeah, it's nothing."

The departure of the warm feeling made Barbara feel a little reluctant for a moment, but she shook her head to indicate that she did not feel offended.

Realizing her earlier thoughts, the girl lowered her head shyly again, not daring to look directly at Wu Di's face.

Then Barbara finally saw the jelly in Wu Di's arms, and for a moment the two of them looked at each other again.

(Why is there a type of wind slime?)

"Hello, my name is Jelly Gu."

The jelly-like creature extended its tentacles in a friendly gesture and waved to express its goodwill.

(The slime spoke!)

Barbara was quite certain that she had not seen the Wind Slime when she was checking the situation with Wu Di.

But the key point is not these things, but rather...

Why can slimes talk?

This thing, which was beyond her worldview, left Barbara stunned for a moment. She pointed blankly at the jelly and asked.

"Xiao Di, what's going on with this wind slime?"

You mean jelly...?

Wu Di gave a brief introduction to Jelly, saying that it was a very good and important companion on the journey, which made Jelly very happy (?????).

Barbara, who was listening nearby, began to feel a little envious. Then Wu Di handed the jelly in his arms to Barbara.

"You can hug it and touch it; it feels really nice."

"Really? I'll give it a try."

Barbara took the jelly from Wu Di's hand, gently kneaded it, and found that it had a particularly bouncy texture that made her love it.

After all, Barbara had no chance to get close to the slimes, because she would be attacked as soon as she got close to these elemental creatures, let alone touch them.

Jelly was especially happy about this (*≧▽≦), because it felt like a massage, and it was very comfortable.

Barbara was captivated by the unique feel of the touch and couldn't tear herself away. Wu Di, standing to the side, didn't say anything more and waited quietly.

Just then, a knock came at the door, which brought Barbara back to her senses. She turned around and said loudly.

"Please come in."

Upon hearing this, the door slowly opened, and the person who entered was...

Chapter 11 A Good Choice

The door slowly opened, and a familiar figure walked in.

"Sister, Commander Keqin, what brings you here?"

The person who arrived was Qin, who had just returned from outside. She and Kaiya had gone to the place where the tornado had occurred.

Although things have calmed down, the surrounding area is still barren, with uprooted grass and bare ground.

The lingering elements around them, which hadn't completely dissipated, were telling Jean and Kaeya something.

The tornado that just occurred here was not an illusion.

The two then searched the surrounding area and found nothing unusual except for some footprints and hoofprints.

Kaeya noticed the direction of the footprints; it was a small path, but the destination was Mondstadt. He knew this perfectly well and then told Jyn.

The two then hurried back to Mondstadt, and just as they were about to return, they encountered Yura's party, who had not been outside the city gates for long.

Qin felt a little confused, but then she suddenly remembered the mission that Yura's team had received to clear out monsters.

One of the mission locations was in the direction of Eagle Beach, and perhaps those footprints and hoofprints were left by Yura's team.

Qin quickly rode her horse to Yura's side and asked her questions.

Seeing the zither so anxious and serious, Yura asked about the zither.

He said everything he knew, and recounted the entire story.

Having figured out Wu Di's current location, Qin only had one name left in her mind.

Barbara, her sister.

Jean once again hurriedly rode her horse to Mondstadt, leaving behind only the bewildered crowd and Kaeya, who arrived late.

There's nothing that can be done; sometimes the difference between horses is just that obvious. Kaya was left far behind by Jean.

Kaiya, who arrived late, didn't explain much, but simply told everyone loudly that the person they had brought back was a very distinguished guest.

Never offend them if you see them again; always maintain a respectful attitude. After saying this, he chased after them.

The riddle-maker's words left Yura and her teammates completely bewildered, but they still remembered what Kaeya had said.

Yura hadn't expected that person to be so distinguished; judging from his demeanor and appearance, he seemed extraordinary.

(I really want to see him again.)

Yura thought to herself, then called to her teammates and headed to the location where they needed to clear out the monsters.

-

Qin dismounted at the city gate and left the task of taking the horse back to the stable to Lawrence, who was on duty.

Seeing the flustered Qin, Lawrence didn't say much. He knew that the leader of the troupe must have her reasons for doing this.

Then he said goodbye to his classmates and left with his horse.

Qin ran all the way to the West Wind Cathedral, a move that drew everyone's attention.

But she didn't care about any of that. She just wanted to know how Barbara was doing and whether she had accidentally offended that demon.

She ignored Amber who greeted her, as well as Luminous and Paimon who were with Amber.

They all looked at Qin running away with suspicion, but seeing how urgent her figure was, they decided not to disturb her any longer and planned to ask her what had happened later.

Fortunately, Qin exercises regularly and has the added benefit of the Eye of God, which allows her to maintain her running posture throughout the entire process.

They quickly arrived at the West Wind Cathedral, went straight to a nun, and anxiously asked her about Barbara's location.

Seeing how urgent the leader of the troupe was, the nun didn't say much. She led the way to Wu Di's room and then left, leaving Qin alone standing in front of the door.

Just as Qin was about to open the door, she suddenly remembered something and began to check her appearance and attire through the reflection in the glass.
