Choosing between alcohol and Zhongli is Wendy's biggest headache.
Without wine, he had no freedom; without Zhongli's shield, he had no sense of security.
Although the wine was delicious, Morax's reputation was undeniable; after all, he had been beaten by Morax countless times, making him unmatched in his escape speed.
"Forget it, let's discuss the candidates instead." Faced with alcohol and Morax, Wendy shamelessly... gave up on Morax.
After discussing many people, Wendy suddenly thought of Xiao and asked, "How about we bring Xiao over?"
After thinking about it for a while, Wan Ye felt that it wasn't impossible, but there was one problem.
When Xiao activates the Demon-Slaying Dance, he will lose his own health. Generally speaking, Wan Ye will always see Xiao accompanying Zhong Li, as well as Coral Palace Heart Sea from Sea Island, and finally himself or Venti.
But there's no one here who can sustain the journey. Wan Ye voiced his doubts, and Wendy chuckled, "Who said there aren't any?" Her gaze simultaneously turned to Xing Qiu.
Wan Ye also looked at Xing Qiu.
Xingqiu was reading a novel when he suddenly felt a chill and saw Wanye and Wendy looking at him with ill intent.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wendy is not doing her job properly, but Wan Ye, why are you like this too?" Xing Qiu was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly. Wendy couldn't hold back and burst into laughter without any restraint. Wan Ye also chuckled.
"I just thought it was fun to see the same bewildered expression on different people's faces. I'm sorry." Wan Ye said apologetically, but the lingering smile in his eyes betrayed him.
"Are you sure you want to summon Xiao the Sage?" Wan Ye asked, composed himself. Wendy nodded and replied, "Xiao said before that if possible, he also wants to see this so-called battlefield of national destiny, so it's better to summon him."
"Summon, Teyvat, Xiao." Wendy crushed the token in his hand while silently chanting the name of the target. Everyone felt a cold wind and heard that icy voice: "If you encounter the dangers of a lost wilderness, or the dangers of bandits on the road." "Who is it?" As a girl, Zhen Nan was the most timid. Upon hearing this voice, she couldn't help but hug Jiang Yin, who was closest to her, and buried her head in Jiang Yin's arms, refusing to let go.
"The dangers of water, fire, and weapons; the dangers of ghosts, gods, medicine, and poison; the dangers of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects; the dangers of enemies and wicked people." Jiang Yin was actually terrified inside, but he still had to maintain his composure as a man. However, his legs were trembling, and he could only pray that he would survive.
“Then call my name, Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal, Xiao, heed my summons and come to protect me.”
Xiao, wearing a Nuo mask, suddenly appeared behind Jiang Yin and Zhen Nan. Zhen Nan looked up for some reason, saw Xiao wearing the Nuo mask, screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
“Mortals? I thought you were the only ones here.” Xiao’s gaze lingered on Jiang Yin and Zhen Nan for only a moment before turning to Wendy, Wan Ye, and Xing Qiu standing to the side.
"Hi, Immortal Xiao, long time no see." Wendy greeted him with a grin, Wan Ye nodded in return, Xiao nodded slightly, and Xing Qiu also gave a formal greeting. Xiao began to survey his surroundings, frowning slightly, but said nothing.
“There seems to be a different atmosphere here,” Xiao said. Wendy nodded. “It’s different now. It’s in the second phase. Let me explain in detail.”
"So that's how it is." Xiao put one hand on his hip and the other on his chin, seemingly deep in thought. After a while, Xiao suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, vanishing without a trace.
Jiang Yin had just recovered, but he was still in a daze. Wendy sensed the wind and said, "He went to scout the surrounding area. It's alright, don't worry too much about him. You all rest first, I'm not sleepy yet." "Yes, yes, Lord Wind God." Jiang Yin's dazed brain finally turned on after hearing Wendy's voice, and he quickly replied.
"No need to call me Lord Wind God, I prefer you to call me Wendy." Wendy stretched and stood up. It was already late at night, and apart from the occasional clanging of weapons, it was quite quiet outside. However, Wan Ye's expression was not good, so Wendy played a soothing and gentle tune. Wan Ye gradually drifted off to sleep, a smile appearing on his lips.
In the middle of the night, Xiao sat quietly with his eyes closed on a big tree. He felt a familiar wind direction around him, but he ignored it. Before long, a furry head fell onto his lap. Xiao opened his eyes and looked speechlessly at this wind god who was not doing his job.
"Do you mind if I lie down for a while?" Wendy opened her eyes, her excessively beautiful eyes smiling as she looked at Xiao. Xiao closed her eyes and said, "You've already lay down, what can I say?" "Your personality is similar to the old man's, but you're not very good at refusing others. I think Grandpa Zhong also hopes that you can refuse more decisively. After all, there are many rules and regulations in the mortal world, and as an immortal, you must feel uncomfortable in some ways."
"Mm." Xiao's reply was as crisp and decisive as ever, and the two of them remained in this position until daylight.
"I slept very well, thank you, Immortal." When the sunlight fell on Wendy's face, she sat up, rubbed her cheek against Xiao's face, and then disappeared in a flash. Xiao touched his cheek, and after a while, uttered, "Disrespectful to Immortal Master."
Some netizens stayed up all night watching the live stream and then photoshopped pink bubbles onto the screen, instantly creating a strong sense of CP (couple) vibes.
"So sweet, so incredibly sweet! I'm dying of envy!"
"Oh my god, is Xiao the Sage really that doting? Does a boyfriend like Xiao exist?!"
"Xiao, my little Xiao, hehe, my little Xiao~"
"Upstairs, that's my Xiao Bao!"
Another Waterloo-like defeat has begun in the live stream. Venti didn't watch and Xiao didn't know either. Venti was venturing into the Tower of Trials, and after sitting quietly for a while, Xiao decided to go for a walk.
Walking slowly through the forest, Xiao suddenly felt that he hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time. The forest here was similar to the forest in Teyvat, but usually the birds and beasts in the forest would scatter quickly after sensing his karma. In his memory, the forest was quiet, with only the wind blowing and the rustling sound he could hear.
But here, birds and beasts don't flee because of karma. The wind blows merrily, the air is fresh, and Xiao only feels his eyelids getting a little heavy, as if he can have a sweet dream here.
However, the next second, Xiao's face turned cold. He heard very light footsteps behind him!
(I'll rewrite this when I have a bank card; I feel like I've gone a bit too far with my own thoughts, sob sob.)
