Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

In the icy cold, the redness at the corners of his eyes intensified, yet the ice firmly sealed him away, and he could not break free at all.

He watched helplessly as Kong was restrained by the debt collector, watched as the other party easily swatted away Wendy's counterattack like swatting a mosquito, and watched as she trampled this god under her feet.

The woman pinched Wendy's face, scrutinizing her as if she were a stray cat on the street. A mocking smile played on her lips, ridiculing the frailty of this deity.

"Having given up the power of the god who rules Mondstadt, is this all the strength left?"

Wendy struggled to lift her head, and retorted sarcastically, "You mock my capital... is it power borrowed from my master?"

"Smooth-talking!"

The woman's expression turned cold. She threw Wendy to the ground like trash, her pale, icy fingers piercing his heart and tearing out the radiant heart of a god.

She pointed the Heart of God toward the sky, and in the light, the Heart of God was crystal clear.

"This is the Heart of God? It's nowhere near as magnificent as my treasured chess set." Her tone was somewhat disdainful.

Wendy, whose heart had been ripped out, lay on the ground panting heavily, and even in this moment, he didn't hold back in his retort.

"That probably means your taste is really bad..."

The woman glanced at the disheveled god and kicked him against the wall.

"Let's go..." Without looking at them again, the woman turned and left with her entourage.

After an unknown amount of time, the ice slowly melted, and Jiang Bai, who had broken free of the ice, stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

A sharp pain shot through his calf, and he, who was not very sensitive to pain, couldn't help but let out a cry of pain from the bottom of his heart.

After exchanging blows with the lady, his most serious injury was actually the one he inflicted himself while trying to break the ice.

The pain had been completely suppressed by adrenaline at the time, but now it all came rushing out at once, and Jiang Bai could barely stand up.

"Are you alright?" Wendy tried to help him up.

Compared to Jiang Bai, Feng Shen, who had been humiliated and had his heart ripped out, seemed to be in much better shape.

Chapter 231 Jiang Bai is going to die

Jiang Bai was very annoyed. "Do I look like I'm fine?"

Wendy helped him sit down against the wall, her voice tinged with regret, "Their target is me, you didn't have to work so hard..."

"Aren't you going to fight back and just watch your heart get ripped out? If I'd known you wouldn't die after your heart was ripped out, I would have just stood there and watched... By the way, what did they take? I heard that woman say it was the 'Heart of God,' right? What will happen to you after you lose the Heart of God?"

Jiang Bai rolled his eyes. Although he was very unhappy, he was still a little worried.

Although this wind god is idle and doesn't do anything productive, putting aside his divine status, he's actually a pretty good friend.

"To me, the Heart of God is just a tool to connect to Sky Island, so losing it won't be a big deal..." Wendy's eyes were somewhat unfocused.

Jiang Bai: "..."

Jiang Bai almost fainted because he couldn't catch his breath.

That's it? That's it?

He risked his life to rush in, only to find that the victim had only had a communicator stolen?

And he acted like he didn't care at all!

Seeing that Jiang Bai was showing signs of anger, Wendy quickly added.

"It's not that it's unimportant. The Heart of God is also a source of my power, and losing the Heart of God means losing divine power. But as you know, I have no intention of ruling Mondstadt, so losing divine power isn't a big deal for me..."

Although Wendy said that, Jiang Bai had already seen through the truth. In the end, to Wendy, it was just something that was dispensable.

He couldn't help but say sarcastically, "That's true, after all, it's a god whose divine power is so weak that it can't even find its own followers..."

Wendy could only laugh awkwardly and change the subject, "You sit down first, I'll go check on Kong."

Kong fainted earlier and hasn't woken up yet.

Jiang Bai leaned against the wall and slowly straightened his legs. Even with such a slow movement, he still grimaced in pain.

He was certain that his leg bone was fractured.

I don't know if Pastor Barbara can cure him directly. If she can't, he'll have to use a wheelchair.

Hopefully, the head of the hall will be kinder to him after seeing his pitiful state in the wheelchair...

Paimon, who had been blown away, arrived late. "I saw those people leave. How are you all doing?"

"I'm dying..." Jiang Bai said in a low voice.

This was truly an unexpected disaster for him.

"Huh?" Looking at Jiang Bai, who was pale and looked like he had no will to live, Paimon leaned back in surprise.

"Hold on, I'm going to find Commander Qin right now!" she said as she hurriedly flew towards the church.

Jean was completely oblivious to what was happening outside and was still chatting with Barbara.

Although they are sisters, their parents divorced and they lived with their father and mother respectively. They did not spend much time together, and although they cared for each other, they inevitably became estranged.

It was also a rare opportunity for Qin to spend time alone with Barbara.

"Commander Qin! Something terrible has happened!" Paimon rushed in and came to an abrupt stop in mid-air.

"what happened?"

"Jiang Bai is going to die!" Paimon said anxiously, as if it were the truth.

"What!" Qin and Barbara both paled.

He was fine just a moment ago, how come he's going to die in a little while?

"What exactly happened?" The two walked quickly out of the church, asking as they went.

"We had just left the church when a few people appeared and knocked me flying with a thud. Kong was also knocked unconscious. They also took something from Wendy. Jiang Bai fought with them and got beaten up badly..."

Paimon quickly recounted what had happened. Although she had been knocked away, she had seen exactly what had occurred.

Paimon's words struck Jean like a bolt of lightning.

She instantly recalled Wendy's worries when they went to find the Sky Harp. At that time, Wendy said that someone was after the Anemo Archon, but because of the Anemo Archon's towering image in their minds, they did not think that the Anemo Archon would be in any danger.

But now she suddenly realizes that's not the case!

The current Anemo is no longer the powerful god who founded Mondstadt. Because he no longer wants to rule the free Mondstadt, his power has become very weak. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to save Dvalin!

This, in turn, provides an opportunity for those with ulterior motives.

"It happened!"

She regretted her carelessness in her heart, and her figure, like a blur, darted out of the church.

Wendy placed the still unconscious Kong and Jiang Bai together; the two wounded men leaned against the wall, looking utterly miserable.

Qin's gaze swept over Kong and Jiang Bai, and seeing that Wendy was alright, though she looked a little weak, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you alright?" she asked instinctively, using a respectful form of address.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury." Wendy shook her head, indicating that she didn't need to worry about it.

"But they were the ones who were injured by the Fools while trying to help me."

"The Fools!" Jean's gaze suddenly sharpened. "What have they done! They actually attacked you right in front of the church! Are they trying to start a war?!"

“They just took something unimportant…” Wendy quickly waved her hand. “They probably don’t want to cause a diplomatic incident; no one else saw it besides us…”

If this is confirmed, and relations between Mondstadt and Winter, his two allies, deteriorate or even go to war, then he will be a sinner!

He merely sent out the Heart of God; it's not that serious, really not!

Qin frowned, but remained silent.

Without evidence, it would be difficult for the Knights to bring charges against them.

But this matter cannot be left unresolved!

Barbara quickly ran over to treat Jiang Bai, who was clearly badly injured. A blue healing aura condensed in her hand and slowly merged into Jiang Bai's body.

Jiang Bai felt much better; the damage from the ice was rapidly subsiding, and even the pain in his legs had lessened considerably.

However, a bone fracture like this cannot be completely healed by water-based healing methods alone. A splint is needed to allow the bone to heal slowly. The specific healing time depends on the extent of the fracture and the body's natural healing abilities.

Seeing that Jiang Bai's complexion had improved considerably, Barbara, who had thought he was really going to die after hearing Paimon's words, breathed a long sigh of relief.

She treated Kong without stopping, and after a while, Kong slowly woke up.

He shook his groggy head and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wendy standing in front of him.

Wendy is alright, which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

After treating two people in a row, Barbara's forehead broke out in a few beads of sweat.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and a blue halo appeared in her hand. She took Wendy's hand and said, "You're also badly injured. Let me heal you."

The gentle healing energy was flowing, but it had no effect on Wendy's injuries.

Barbara refused to believe it and increased the amount of treatment, but no matter what methods she used, there was no effect whatsoever.

"Strange, why isn't it working at all?"

“My body is a bit special, it’s not your fault.” Wendy withdrew her hand, rejecting Barbara’s futile efforts.

Chapter 232 Could Zhongli be an executor of the Fools?

"I'll go to the [Symbol of the Mondstadt Heroes] first; only there can my injuries be healed..."

Barbara was very worried, "But..."

Qin shook her head, "Let him go..."

Seeing Wendy trying to run away, Jiang Bai grabbed his clothes and stared at him intently.

"I have broken my leg!"

Jiang Bai repeated it again:

"I have broken my leg!!"

His leg was broken because of this guy, don't even think about abandoning him!

Wendy felt extremely guilty under his gaze, and he slowly squatted down. "Then... shall I carry you with me?"

Jiang Bai is probably the first person to have Feng Shen carry him.

Under Qin's strange gaze, Jiang Bai leaned against the wall to stand up and slowly moved onto Wendy's back.

Wendy carried Jiang Bai, who was a head taller than him, through Mondstadt, attracting many surprised glances along the way.

The Mondstadt people did not know his identity. His small stature and the tall Jiang Bai on his back made him look very out of place.

Fortunately, Wendy is still a god after all, and there was no problem with her not being able to carry her.

Kong Xiang followed behind them like a guardian deity, keeping a close eye on Jiang Bai, ready to lend a hand at any time to prevent him from falling off Wendy's back and getting injured again.

Paimon crossed his arms and floated next to Jiang Bai, saying, "You're the only one who can be carried on the back of the Wind God while handing out flyers."

"I didn't ask him to do that; he offered to carry me himself." Jiang Bai swatted her away like he was swatting a mosquito.

Although it feels strange to be carried, especially by a man.

But considering that the person carrying him was a god, this strange feeling was nothing.

After all, being carried by the wind god is something you can brag about for a lifetime.

He tugged at Wendy's braid. "Hey poet, I paid such a high price to save you, aren't you going to offer any compensation?"

"Um... how about I give you a freshly picked apple?"

"Don't you have anything like Mora?" Jiang Bai expressed his disdain for the god's poverty.

"Do I look like I have Mora?" Wendy wanted to shrug, but if she did, Jiang Bai would fall right down.

"Don't you have anything like Dvalin's feathers?" Jiang Bai persisted. After all, he was a god; surely he had some good stuff!

“Uh…no…” Wendy’s forehead was covered in sweat.

He was just a poor bard who needed to sing to earn a living and drink!
