Wendy scratched her head: "Okay, I'm really tired. I'll get some rest when I get back, and then I'll get some serious work done."
As for how long I need to rest, that's my business.
"Lord Wendy..."
Qin's eyes lit up, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope.
But Diluc secretly shook his head.
Qin is still young, and with the added filter of a believer in the gods, she can't see through Barbatos's perfunctory attitude.
"...Can Ying hold on? I feel like she's drenched in sweat."
A somewhat weak voice rang out, and everyone looked over, their gazes turning somewhat strange.
Jiang Ning was carried over by Shen He in a princess carry.
And this height actually looks quite harmonious.
Jiang Ning also felt a little embarrassed, but his senior sister just wouldn't let go, and even insisted on holding him tightly.
"Senior sister, you must be tired too. Just put me down."
Jiang Ning practically begged him.
"Do not……"
Shen He shook his head.
Jiang Ning silently covered her face.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it... pfft."
Qin couldn't resist.
"Sorry... pfft."
"Does nobody care about travelers?"
Paimon stomped his foot in mid-air, somewhat indignant.
"I'm so sorry... but now we can only rely on the travelers. Jiang Ning has been injured in the bombing."
Qin said.
Ying also said, "It's okay, I can still manage."
Jiang Ning said apologetically, "I'm sorry, in the heat of the moment, I used too much rock element to withstand the explosion, so I really don't have any strength left."
【Host, go absorb it! You absorb and then purify, so absorb it.】
The system said.
"Shut up. If I don't pretend to be this weak, how will I extort money from you later?"
Jiang Ning felt contempt.
"Learn more."
Finally, Ying couldn't hold on any longer; she slumped and was about to fall to the ground.
Qin reacted quickly and caught Ying.
Jiang Ning coughed twice, feigning nonchalance, and then said:
"Senior sister, let me do it. Put me next to Dvalin."
“But…” Shen He was a hundred times unwilling.
"It's okay, trust me."
Jiang Ning secretly squeezed Shen He's hand. Shen He was taken aback at first, then seemed to realize something.
Junior brother, although you are weak, you are definitely not as bad as you are now... So, I should listen to you and not ruin things for you.
So, without saying a word, Shen He escorted Jiang Ning to Tvalin's side.
Jiang Ning then began to absorb it.
The power of the abyss was automatically purified and then transformed into pure energy.
Although it's impossible to acquire the characteristics of the Abyss, it's still possible to absorb some energy to nourish oneself and make oneself stronger.
"Your absorption and conversion efficiency is not good. You've absorbed so much and only become a little bit stronger."
Jiang Ning was dissatisfied.
"How would I know?" the system said.
"Forget it, it's better than nothing."
Diluc and the others stood guard on the sidelines while resting.
Although the battle just now didn't last long, the sheer intensity of the attack, aimed at containing a Dvalin at his peak, left everyone somewhat exhausted.
Just when everyone thought the matter was about to end, a contemptuous and arrogant voice rang out.
"who?"
Qin immediately became alert.
“Executor of the Fools, madam, brings greetings from the Queen of Winter, Barbatos.”
Although she offered greetings, the woman's expression was disdainful, and her tone was mocking, as if she were a cat toying with a mouse.
"What brings you here, executor of the Fools?"
Jean and Diluc discreetly shielded Jiang Ning and Wendy behind them, and Jean asked warily.
"Nothing, I just want to borrow something from Barbatos."
"That's what the woman said."
At this moment, she was fearless, with several Firefly Sorcerers behind her and elite members of the Fatui, such as Thunder Hammer and Wind Fist, around her. The rest of the Fatui had all retreated to a distance to prepare for her rescue.
And they were all in the border area; in Mondstadt, only Winterfell's official diplomats were present.
Therefore, the lady stopped pretending and directly stole your Heart of God in front of your Knights of Favonius, and then left.
As for starting a war, to be honest, after these few days of investigation, the lady doesn't think this acting leader has the guts to do so.
"Borrow what?" Qin squinted her eyes.
“The Heart of God of Barbatos,” the woman said.
"what?!"
Qin was both surprised and angry.
"It seems that the leader of the ensemble is a bit agitated. This is a matter between me and Barbatos. Let's talk about it."
The woman snapped her fingers, and then the group of Fatui members behind her, including the Lightning Flame Sorcerer, began to attack, entangled Diluc and Jean.
Although their strength was no match for Diluc and Jean, they were outnumbered and exhausted from the previous battle, leaving them unable to escape for the time being.
"Paimon, you hide, I'm coming too!"
Although Ying felt completely drained, she gritted her teeth, picked up the Wufeng sword, and charged forward.
Paimon, looking worried, huddled close to Shen He and shouted:
Be careful!
The lady, on the other hand, gracefully walked over to Wendy's side with cat-like steps.
She grabbed Wendy's chin, her face contorted with disgust:
"The mighty Wind God, in Mondstadt, is all he does is act like a little mouse, constantly stealing wine?"
A flicker of guilt crossed Wendy's eyes as she whispered, "Rosalind..."
"Don't call me by that name!"
The woman seemed to have her wounds reopened, and she became furious, raising her hand to slap Wendy across the face.
"Lord Barbatos! You bastard!"
Qin was furious, but unfortunately, Qin was not Zhao Zilong and had no way to trigger the passive skill.
Shen He, standing to the side, wore an unfriendly expression. Wendy was his junior brother's friend, which meant she was also his friend...
Having just gripped the amulet tightly, the woman took a few deep breaths to calm herself before saying:
"Are you sure you want to make a move? I can let you go, but if you do, I don't know if the little boy behind you will get caught in the crossfire."
Shen He's face was ashen. He struggled to remember it, but ultimately chose to remain aloof and observe.
"You, you wicked woman!"
Paimon mustered his courage, peeked out from behind Shen He, and roared angrily.
"Oh? A tiny cricket like you dares to talk to me like that?"
A dangerous glint flashed in the woman's eyes.
Wendy said, "Wait, I can give you the Heart of God, but you can't lay a hand on them."
The woman narrowed her eyes, then suddenly rushed toward Wendy. As she passed by Wendy, she slipped a hand into Wendy's chest and removed a chess piece that glowed with a bluish light.
"Well!"
Wendy looked pained and collapsed to her knees, gasping for breath.
"Barbatos!" Tvalin was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
"Lord Barbatos!" Jean exclaimed angrily.
Diluc's face darkened, and he swung his greatsword even faster.
Ying's expression changed: "Wendy!"
"This is the Heart of God? It's not even as magnificent as my collection."
The woman examined the Heart of God in her hand and said.
