Wendy's large eyes didn't seem fake, but the young lady simply shook her head and said, "I'm tired, please go back."
“You really want to escape, don’t you? To marry someone you don’t even know.” Wendy’s words struck a nerve with the young lady. Her shoulders trembled, and tears streamed down her cheeks. Then, the young lady slowly told a story.
Their first meeting in their youth was a fleeting glimpse that ignited a beautiful longing in the heart of a naive young girl. Afterward, she and her beloved maintained contact through letters, believing they would grow old together. However, due to their different backgrounds, they lost all contact, leaving only the thick walls and the girl's endless longing.
“Yes, yes, it’s a very good story. It could be written into a bard’s tale and sung.” Wendy closed her eyes and nodded twice. “Please don’t laugh at me.” The young lady’s mood was still low. Wendy said, “It’s alright. If you really want to escape, I will help you. Yes, a free soul should not be confined to a small cage.”
"Really?" The young lady's eyes suddenly lit up, sparkling. Wendy's ears twitched, and she said, "Oh dear, your servants are here. Haha, if you're really determined, tell the wind in a day, and I'll come then." As soon as she finished speaking, Wendy turned into the wind and left. The next second, the servants rushed into the young lady's courtyard.
"Miss, were you just talking to a strange man?" It was the same head maid again. Her sharp gaze swept over every corner, and then with a gesture, more servants entered the young lady's room to search it thoroughly.
"What right do you have to interfere with my mutterings to myself?" The young lady raised an eyebrow, but the maids remained unmoved. After searching unsuccessfully, the servants finally withdrew. Looking at the mess in her boudoir, the young lady's resolve hardened even more.
With 300 psionic energy in hand, bringing his total to over 400 psionic energy, Venti was in high spirits. He had already visited the Guest Tavern; Flying City was so large that there couldn't possibly be only one tavern.
Following the aroma, Wendy found a restaurant related to wine. There weren't many people inside, perhaps because it wasn't mealtime yet. Wendy secretly memorized the name of the restaurant, planning to eat there next time she had a meal. Enjoying delicious food and fine wine is one of life's great pleasures.
After wandering around the city for a while, Wendy unknowingly stumbled into a very dilapidated alley. The people inside were emaciated and malnourished, their clothes were tattered, and their eyes had lost all hope. When they saw Wendy, it was like hunters seeing their prey. In an instant, a large crowd surrounded Wendy. The smell was foul, and their eyes were full of madness.
Terrified, Wendy immediately cast a wind shield around herself, but these people were relentless and wouldn't give up until they got something off Wendy.
"Fly!" With no other option, Wendy could only activate the wind field on the spot, blasting the crowd away and turning into a gentle breeze as she moved away from the place.
"Phew, that scared me to death. These people look so desperate." Wendy returned to the street, patting her chest to catch her breath.
The wealth gap in Tengfei City is extremely severe. People with superpowers can live a good life, while ordinary people without superpowers can only live their whole lives in filthy places, with little chance of ever turning their lives around.
It seems to be from the old noble era of Mondstadt, but it has nothing to do with Venti. This is about national destiny, not Mondstadt itself. Let the Lord of Ascendant handle these messes.
After wandering around the streets, ordering some dishes and a few bottles of expensive wine at a restaurant, and indulging in a feast, Wendy felt like she had forgotten something.
"Hey, another one, burp~ another one~" Another day has passed in a daze.
So when Tinari found Wendy, Wendy was already asleep.
"That drunkard..." Tinari had completely forgotten that Wendy was the Wind God. He and Seno had worked themselves to the bone on quests, and what did they get in return? Wendy was just eating and drinking psionic energy like a thrifty parent raising a son who eats and drinks for free.
A peculiar metaphor?
In short, Wendy was packaged up by the Tinari group and thrown to Feng Aofei.
"So, he just dumped it on me?" Feng Aofei pointed at Wendy, whose face was flushed and who seemed to still be drooling, and looked at Tinari in shock. "I can't stand him anymore." Tinari felt uncomfortable just thinking about having to bring a drunk Wendy home from the tavern or restaurant every time, and about Seno's death stare.
“It just so happens that Seno and I are both busy with commissions these days, and there’s no one to keep an eye on him. I’m worried that Wendy might get himself into trouble while drinking. I’ll have to trouble you.” After saying that, Tinari left without any hesitation.
Looking at the unconscious Wendy, Feng Aofei suddenly had some unspeakable thoughts pop into her mind.
"Shanshan, are all my clothes still here?" Feng Aofei called out loudly. Shanshan nodded, and then, seeing the princess's expression, she immediately understood what the princess was thinking. "Your Highness, is there any purpose in doing this?" Shanshan didn't quite understand, but she was sure that her princess had a reason for doing this.
"Ugh... I'm drunk again..." Wendy woke up and felt something was wrong.
"Huh? This outfit?" Wendy woke up to find her clothes completely changed. This pink princess dress? These black stockings? And Feng Aofei's strange smile beside her...
"How did I end up in your house?!" Wendy was dumbfounded. After Feng Aofei explained what had happened, she saw Wendy's utterly hopeless expression.
"Tinari, you betrayed me." All the words in Wendy's heart boiled down to these six words, leaving her with nothing but pain.
Drinking can lead to trouble.
"Oh! I just remembered I haven't taken care of something." Wendy slapped her forehead. She hadn't dealt with the matter of that wealthy family's young lady yet. Although she had promised to help her escape, a whole day had passed. Would she leave the other party with the impression that she was unpunctual?
Without hesitation, Wendy approached the young lady, completely oblivious to the fact that she was wearing a pink princess dress, black stockings, and black high heels.
"I thought you'd forgotten about it." The young lady covered her mouth with her long sleeve, her smile captivating. "Sorry, drinking led to trouble." Wendy scratched her head sheepishly. "Is this outfit also a result of drinking?" The young lady poked at the puffy hem of the princess dress, full of curiosity.
"This..." Wendy blushed. Who would have thought that Feng Aofei had such a hobby!
(I don't even know what I'm writing anymore.)
I want to offer a knife (with earnest eyes).
I pulled the wrong character on the 17th pull of the featured banner! My Xiao is definitely in the bag!
