In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

Rhodes didn't hear anything serious in his words; instead, he seemed rather gloating.

Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?

Rod asked, pursing his lips.

Wendy was beaten up by Zhongli.

He mentioned this matter.

Moreover, he shamelessly wrote about this incident in his poems and sang it everywhere.

More than that.

He wrote all his dark history—stealing the Ice God's scepter, imitating the Rock God's signature, drinking all of the Fire God's wine cellar—into his poems, and even sang them himself under his own statue.

For this matter.

The nuns of the Church of the West Wind approached him many times, wanting him to stop singing these songs.

However, Wendy never paid any attention to these gossips and continued to tirelessly recount her embarrassing past.

Mondstadt is a land of freedom.

This freedom includes freedom of speech.

So even if the nuns were furious, aside from polite advice, they couldn't use any harsher measures to stop Wendy from reciting those 'blasphemous' verses.

In the end, they simply avoided Wendy whenever they encountered her busking, even if she sang beautifully, they were afraid they wouldn't be able to control their anger and beat her up.

Believers beating up their own gods is a great source of amusement.

When a god beats up another god, that's the funniest of all.

Rod guesses.

I reckon only Wendy, that mischievous guy, gets beaten up by other gods all the time, and he's probably the only one who would shamelessly spread his history of getting beaten up everywhere, even the reasons behind it.

"hey-hey--"

When Rhodes asked if she was afraid of getting beaten up, Wendy smiled slyly: "There are only the two of us left of our old friends. Even if he gets angry, he won't hit me like he used to."

Only two of my old friends are left.

Rhodes had been listening to this with a smile, but after hearing it, he fell silent.

The original seven Teyvat gods had an excellent relationship.

Since the Anemo Archon first visited the Geo Archon, the seven Archons have often gathered in Liyue.

As mentioned before, Wendy often gets beaten up.

Most of those were just playful arguments between friends; no one would actually get angry at Wendy's pranks.

Times have changed.

Five of his former friends have fallen, and most of the seven gods have been succeeded by second-generation gods whom they were not familiar with. The close ties that were once so close have also been severed.

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

Seeing that Rhodes remained silent, Wendy suggested, "Grandpa's been busy these past few days, so I'll take you to visit those immortals while we have this time."

"Fairy?"

Rhodes tilted his head: "You're very familiar with them?"

"Is it weird?"

Wendy tilted her head back and replied, "In Teyvat, there's no one I don't know."

"Uh"

What a confident and assertive answer! Rod was speechless for a moment.

Wendy has the personality of a Teyvat street hustler, and you can see him everywhere.

For example, the birthday of the Flower Goddess of Mount Sumeru.

This festival was held during the grand banquet where the gods gathered on the birthday of the Great Tree King. Wendy, who was then the god of wind, played music to celebrate the birthday of the Great Tree King while drunk. Afterwards, the Great Tree King sang, and the goddess of flowers danced. Even the gods present were so enchanted that they could not forget it for a long time.

The birthday of the Flower Goddess was passed down after this grand divine feast.

Look at it this way.

Wendy was already very close to Zhongli, so it was normal for her to be familiar with those immortals as well.

then.

Wendy was there, reminiscing about the past with great enthusiasm.

"You're too young to have experienced what we went through back then."

"That story begins with the gathering of the Seven Gods."

"It's called a gathering of gods, but no one comes alone. Everyone brings their favorite family members or subordinates to Liyue."

Speaking of it.

Rhodes interrupted him, saying, "Can I ask you someone? Who did you bring? Dvalin? What's his size?"

Rod reached out and measured it.

Even if you know it's a gathering of gods.

With Tvarin, a guy whose size is comparable to a mountain, isn't Wendy afraid of causing panic among the people?

"Didn't you know that Dvalin can transform into human form?"

Wendy looked at Rhodes with a strange expression: "When we came here, he was in dragon form and flew with me. When we arrived, he turned into human form and went to the banquet with us."

"That's okay, just continue."

After confronting Dvalin in his dragon form, Rhode forgot that dragons, as advanced elemental creatures, could change their form at will.

"Hey, can the Dragon King Nagata also transform into human form?"

Rod stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Yes, the old man always brings that Dragon King with him to every banquet."

Venti seemed to see through Rhodes' thoughts and said with a smile, "As this is Liyue's home turf, the immortals are all here to entertain us with the old man."

"Oh."

"what?"

Rhodes blinked: "You were just talking about the Dragon King Rota?"

"Yes, but that person doesn't have a very good temper."

Wendy shrugged: "At first, the old man would bring him every time, but then he kept getting into fights with other people, so the old man stopped bringing him."

She has a bad temper.

Rhodes guessed the reason.

It's the same old story of wear and tear.

Talk about it.

Rhodes never understood why the Dragon King Ruoduo was so severely damaged, since all immortal beings should be subject to the wear and tear of time.

If I remember correctly.

Not long after the war between the demons and gods ended, the Dragon King Ruoduo was deeply afflicted by the wear and tear, and had to retreat into the Abyss of Layered Rocks to recuperate. Later, he even had to rely on Zhongli, who was also suffering from wear and tear, to help him resist it.

But in the end, he was tormented to the point of completely losing his mind, breaking the contract he made with Zhongli, and brazenly attacking Liyue, which ultimately triggered the great war between immortals and demons that shook the entire Liyue.

Wendy said she had a bad temper.

It's likely that the Dragon King Ruotu was already suffering from wear and tear at that time, and Zhongli bringing him to the Seven Gods Banquet was probably also to help him relax.

However, the result was not as expected.

The joyous atmosphere of the Seven Gods' Banquet did not slow down the wear and tear on King Ratna, and conflicts still occurred from time to time.

"Fate is cruel."

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but sigh.

"Who says it isn't?"

Wendy echoed, then continued the previous topic: "That's when I met the immortals. It was so lively back then. There was delicious food, good wine, good music, and dancing. When the mood struck, people would even wrestle, while others cheered on their favorite side. The loser would either have to drink a penalty cup or do something else."

"hiss--"

"Once, I won a drinking contest with that shadow warrior, and as punishment, I made her make a dessert. As a result, almost all the gods present couldn't get home."

Mention this.

Wendy still looked shaken.

"Eh?"

"Tell me more about it."

Rhodes became interested.

Shadow Warrior.

There was only one person with that name at the gathering of the Seven Gods.

That person really can't cook.

Just didn't expect it.

She actually has such a dark history.

And the person who created this embarrassing history was actually Wendy.

Then I thought about how Wendy, who always had a thicker skin than a city wall, hadn't written this incident into her dark history.

This is interesting.

What kind of dessert could it be that almost prevented the Seven Gods at their peak from returning home, and even Wendy was reluctant to mention it?

"Forget it, let's not talk about it."

Wendy's face still turned pale when she recalled that time: "It was terrifying, even more terrifying than when I faced the Storm Demon during the Demon God War."
