Genshin Impact: I, the Winter Prince, reign supreme.

Today she experienced the greatest grievance of her life. Even so, after reflecting on her relationship with such an important person as Su Yu, she realized that she could no longer confront him in the same reckless way as before, nor could she provoke him with overly harsh words.

For the first time in her life, little Cleo learned to reflect and how to respect the strong.

“Your Highness, it’s Sister Amber. I’ll go and fetch her.”

Su Yu thought she would scream and beg Amber for help again, but her behavior was unexpected.

Today's lesson has helped Klee grow.

"Your schoolbag, and the Eye of God."

Su Yu nodded slightly, then returned the "stolen" item to her.

Suddenly, Su Yu frowned deeply.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Razer grab his arm and bite through his skin with a sharp set of teeth.

But after becoming comparable to a god, Su Yu's blood was no longer red, but transformed into dark gold, also known as golden blood.

The situation before him was beyond Razer's comprehension. He hurriedly released Su Yu, did several backflips to retreat in front of Andrius, spread his arms, and firmly protected the remnant soul of the Wolf King behind him.

Andrius felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but he sternly reprimanded him.

"Leize, you mustn't be rude! Quickly apologize to His Highness the Prince!"

Lei Ze remained unmoved, staring intently at Su Yu.

He knew nothing about what happened while he was in a coma, so subconsciously he still harbored great hostility towards Su Yu.

"It's alright, I forgive his sins this time."

Su Yu did not pursue Lei Ze's responsibility.

In winter, let alone close-range attacks, anyone who dares to speak disrespectfully to Prince Zhidong will be severely punished.

"The pride inherent in wolves makes them never easily bow to others. Razer, I look forward to the day when you reappear before me, and you can still hold your head high as you do today."

Just then, Klee and Amber returned.

"Your Highness, you are injured!"

Amber was extremely anxious.

The attack on the Prince of Winter in Mondstadt will surely throw Mondstadt into chaos by his fanatical followers, and could even escalate into a diplomatic incident.

In addition, having experienced close contact with Su Yu through flying on a dragon, she herself also had feelings for Su Yu, so she was more anxious than anyone else when she saw Su Yu injured.

Amber decided to take Su Yu back to Mondstadt for emergency treatment.

"It's nothing, Miss Amber, there's no need to worry so much."

"You are now a distinguished guest of Mondstadt. As a guest, you must follow the host's instructions."

Amber put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest as she spoke.

Then, without waiting for Su Yu's consent, she took his other arm, spread out the Wings of Wind, and glided into the sky.

Chapter 26 Curse

"I'll head back now, Lord Wolf King."

Klee no longer calls Andrius by his first name, but instead uses a respectful title.

"Oh, by the way, please don't tell anyone about what happened to Klee today, it's my secret."

Looking back on my past self, I realize that being arrogant and domineering because of my family background and youth is wrong.

Andrius said with relief, "Klee has finally grown up."

"Raize, I'll come see you again next time."

After Klee left, a dense pack of wolves emerged one after another from the bushes surrounding Wolf Territory.

They had been lurking all around, waiting for Razer's command to launch an attack on the invading forces.

"Blood, golden yellow..."

Razer was still feeling uneasy.

“Child, Lord Barbatos’ blood is also golden. Although Prince Winter is not one of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World, he possesses strength comparable to the Seven Gods.”

"God, you've been bitten by me..."

"You want to ask why you were able to bite a god? Logically speaking, a god's body is even more robust than a demon god's, but this prince of winter seems unwilling to use divine power to protect himself, perhaps as a way to avoid wear and tear."

Andrius, too, could not understand, but was deeply moved.

"Putting aside his title of Prince of Winter, he's old enough to be your and Klee's older brother. Such a young deity is a first in Teyvat's history."

"Perhaps he really can help the Ice Queen fulfill her long-cherished wish to defy the laws of nature. However, I probably won't live to see that day come. The future world belongs to you young people."

Andrius took out the wisp of lightning elemental insight and told Razer about its origin, while also instructing him: "Child, my remnant soul power is weakening every day. Before I completely disappear from this world, you must refine it."

"This is an immense opportunity and good fortune bestowed upon you by Prince Zhidong. Seize this chance, understand?"

With tears in his eyes, Razer embraced Andrius's neck.

"I will protect Lupika!"

……

Mondstadt, the capital city.

Amber descended from the sky with Su Yu, startling a flock of white doves on the bridge across the river.

"We're finally back. Your Highness, let's go to the West Wind Church first."

So, Su Yu, a grown man, was dragged to the church by Amber.

The Church of the West Winds is the largest and oldest church in Mondstadt.

After bringing the person there, Amber went to find the pastor.

Su Yu sat on a church chair for a short rest, taking the opportunity to sense the location of the Sky Harp.

Unfortunately, nothing was gained.

That guy Barbatos, he even hid his weapons.

Is the prince of Zhidong a bandit, that you are so wary of him?

With that thought in mind, Amber led a priest out of the inner room.

She wore a pastor's gown, with a church Bible slung across her waist, adorned with a water elemental eye.

Two long, beige-brown ponytails were coiled into spirals and hung naturally on either side of her half-exposed shoulders; she wore traditional white stockings in the priest's style and high-heeled leather shoes.

She always has a sweet smile on her face, giving people a vibrant and energetic girlish feeling.

The sound was so pleasant and melodious—

"Barbara, make your dazzling entrance! Leave the healing to me, you won't be disappointed!"

The newcomer was none other than Barbara, the priestess of the Knights of Favonius.

"This is the prince from Zhidong."

Amber introduced her to him.

"Although the Fools have a bad reputation in Mondstadt, and the arrival of the Winter Solstice Mission has kept my sister busy for several days and nights without rest, I will not be prejudiced against anyone from Winter Solstice. Since they are here for treatment, they are patients, and I will treat them all equally."

Barbara's older sister is Qin; they are sisters.

The elder sister is the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, while the younger sister Barbara, who is not good at swordsmanship, eventually chose to work in logistics, and the position of Prayer Priest best suited her wishes.

“Miss Barbara, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Barbara smiled and bowed, then bent down to clean Su Yu's wounds.

The moment she lifted Su Yu's sleeve, she took two steps back and almost screamed.

Amber, who was helping out, also looked at Su Yu's exposed arm with an incredulous expression.

Back in Wolf's Lair, Amber hadn't been able to see Su Yu's arm because of his sleeve; now, she finally saw it—

His entire arm was covered in sores, as if it had been scorched by a fire.

Skin is wrinkled, cracked, dry, and twisted.

But if that were all, it wouldn't have surprised Barbara, who had seen many patients.

Within the meridians of Su Yu's arm, a dark, decaying aura flowed, eerie and terrifying.

"My God... this is the power of a curse!"

There was a second half to her sentence, but Barbara couldn't bring herself to say it.

It's a medical miracle that Prince Zhidong has survived this long, burdened with such a heavy curse. She could deduce that not only were Prince Zhidong's arms tainted by the curse, but his entire body was probably filled with its power.

One of the Knights of Favonius was a brave member who, while on a mission, accidentally became tainted with a curse the size of a fingernail. He was eventually tormented by the power of the curse and committed suicide by biting his tongue.

The excruciating pain and mental torment were enough to crush anyone's will.

Amber disagreed with her, saying, "Prince Winter purified the curse within Dvalin, so he should be able to purify the curse within himself as well."

Therefore, she believed it was not a curse, but perhaps some other kind of force.

"It is indeed a curse. However, it is not an ordinary curse, but a curse of the natural order."

Su Yu did not want to recall the hunt three years ago, when Heaven had cast the most vicious curse on him. Later, with the help of the system, he managed to suppress the curse's worsening and barely escape with his life.

Only those who possess power comparable to the laws of nature can completely eliminate this curse.

Su Yu is not yet at that level; he can only endure the torment of being pierced by a thousand arrows and the pain of being shattered to pieces every day.

I gave a simple explanation to satisfy the two girls' curiosity.

But after he finished explaining, the two women's feelings became complicated.

The principles of Heaven are supreme and seemingly ethereal, yet they are within reach.

Because the seven rulers of the mortal world are agents of the principles of Heaven.

The seven kingdoms of Teyvat represent the celestial divisions.

The people of the seven kingdoms could even be said to be subjects of the laws of nature.
