Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

It's just a thank-you gift anyway, might as well take it.

While controlling the ritual, Su Zhe absorbed the power of the wind.

Rumble rumble rumble~~

A fierce wind swept across the entire city of Mondstadt, then surged upwards, and the storm, formed from black power, was visibly receding!

Swish!

The power of the wind emitted a dazzling white light, dispersing the dark clouds surrounding Mondstadt.

As the bright sunlight streamed into Mondstadt, the faces of the people beamed with excitement.

"The wind has stopped! The wind has stopped!"

"May the Aeolus protect Mondstadt!"

"Protect Mondstadt!!"

Cheers erupted from within the city.

"Could he really be the messenger of the wind god?"

"How could this be false? If the envoy hadn't requested the Wind God's intervention, how could those storms have stopped?"

"Those guys deserve to die! They actually dared to offend the messenger of the Wind God!"

Nothing is more convincing than seeing is believing. Hearing the discussions among the crowd, the tension on Qin's face gradually eased.

“Su Zhe…”

She watched the man's retreating figure and whispered his name.

Perhaps, starting today, Mondstadt will undergo a real change.

...

The ceremony to quell the storm ended quickly, and the topic of the 'messenger of the wind god' instantly swept across the entire city of Mondstadt.

Defeating monsters, standing up for the knights, and calming the chaotic storm—these stories spread throughout the streets and alleys.

"Pass down the word, the envoy has arrived!"

"Pass down the word: the envoy, along with the leader of the Qin Guild, has driven back the horde of monsters!"

"Pass it on: the envoy and Commander Qin are friends!"

"Pass it on: the envoy and Commander Qin are a couple!"

The wind brought all sorts of topics, like the stories of bards, sometimes full of laughter, sometimes shocking, but in any case, the oppressive atmosphere in Mondstadt slowly became more lively.

Su Zhe didn't seem to care much about these topics.

Anyway, his mission is just to solve the dragon scourge, so now he can just sit back and wait for the travelers to come and then latch onto his coattails.

When it's all over, I'll dive into the sea and go back to my hometown.

In this way, not only did they gain a favor from the Wind God for free, but they also acquired the power of wind. It was an absolute steal!

"I didn't expect that guy to actually succeed. It seems that the Wind God has chosen an envoy to take action."

"What can we do then? If the Wind God doesn't appear, Lady's plan can't be implemented."

"How about we send those guys to scout out the situation first? Anyway, with the Wind God's messenger appearing and him standing on that woman's side, it's not good for them either."

In an alley, two members of the Fools, who were watching the whole thing, were talking to each other.

The appearance of a Wind God Messenger is not good news for the Fools.

The lady's plan was to use the Dvalin incident to lure out the Anemo Archon, so she naturally hoped that Mondstadt would be in chaos as much as possible. That's why she spared no expense in stirring up public opinion and sending people to do things secretly.

But if a messenger of the wind god were to appear at this moment, their plan might fall through.

"Forget it, the Knights' inspection department is sensitive to the whole time. We can't have too much contact with him. Let's not rush things and wait for the lady to return."

"Alright."

After the two finished talking, they were about to leave when they turned around and saw someone jump out from not far behind them.

"W-What are you doing here!?"

When they saw Su Zhe's face clearly, they were immediately startled.

Now, Su Zhe's blue hair has become the most eye-catching symbol in the entire Mondstadt city.

But shouldn't the other person be over in the square right now?

"Don't be nervous, I'm a good person."

Su Zhe looked at them with a kind smile on his face.

But that smile, no matter how you look at it, sends chills down your spine.

"W-Don't come any closer! We're from the Fatui, members of the diplomatic mission visiting Mondstadt! If anything happens to us... Aaaaaah!!!"

The pitiful cries echoed through the secluded alley.

...

"Commander Qin, these are the ones who caused trouble just now. They must be severely punished!"

"Yes, as soon as they saw you enter the city, they started inciting people to come over. It seems they've been up to no good for a long time!"

"They have offended you, they have offended Your Excellency, and they must not be forgiven!"

In the square, the ceremony to sweep away the storm had ended. Including the young man who had been kicked by Su Zhe, the troublemakers were pushed over by the surrounding crowd and knelt down in front of Qin.

If Jean were merely acting leader, this certainly wouldn't have happened, since the Knights' reputation had been plummeting due to the Dragon Plague.

But things are different now. The Wind God's messenger has appeared and said so many good things about Qin. Even the Wind God himself has praised Qin, so who would dare to say a bad word about her?

Qin herself felt somewhat surreal. So the Wind God was watching her?

However, the situation is still good overall. If the Wind God truly trusts her, then what she needs to do now is not just be happy, but find a way to resolve the Mondstadt problem as soon as possible.

As for these troublemakers, Qin naturally knew what was going on.

After all, this wasn't the first or second time this had happened. Although she didn't have concrete evidence, it wasn't hard to guess who those guys were behind the scenes were.

However, the current situation is not suitable for openly provoking conflict between Mondstadt and Winterhold.

She summoned the Knights and temporarily took these people to the prison, intending to settle accounts once the dragon disaster issue was resolved.

"Phew~ thank goodness he succeeded."

After everything was taken care of, Yura came over and said with some relief.

"If we fail, those guys will definitely use this as an excuse to cause trouble. Not only will Su Zhe suffer, but the Knights will also be affected."

"Perhaps, but I also felt a certain gaze upon me, which is why I chose to believe him."

As Qin spoke, she picked up the Eye of God that was hanging on her body.

The light emanating from it was even more dazzling than before.

And it seems that a force of wind has been added to her body.

Perhaps this is proof that she is being watched by the gods, even though she already possessed the eye of God long ago.

The Wind God is watching Mondstadt, watching them.

"In short, I'm not 100% sure, and there's an element of gambling involved. But if we continue to handle things the way we used to during this special period, we'll never get out of this predicament."

A knowing smile gradually appeared on Qin's face. "Yura, thank you for worrying about me."

Yura panicked: "Who, who's worried!? Humph! I'm just concerned about Mondstadt. If you fall, there will be no one to lead the Knights to protect Mondstadt right now... And don't forget the feud between Gunnhildr and Lawrence!"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, so your concern, Yura, comes from the bottom of your heart."

"Are you teasing me? How dare you! I'll remember this grudge!"

Yura stopped in Bengbu, pretending to be angry as she turned to leave, but on the way she ran into Su Zhe who happened to be walking from this side.

"Miss Yura, what's wrong...?"

Yura paused, snorted, and walked even faster.

Su Zhe: "?"

Wait, what did I do to offend you?

Women are all unreasonable. Su Zhe shrugged and walked towards Qin, who was standing alone under the statue of the wind god.

“Su Zhe, thank you.” Qin bowed to him again. “Also, I would like to ask if there is anything else the Wind God asked you to bring? I mean, about Dvalin.”

"Not yet, but don't worry, the problem will be solved eventually."

"That's true... By the way, where did you go just now?"

"Oh, I chatted with two friends. They're both very kind-hearted. They insisted on talking to me after they found out I was in Mondstadt."

Su Zhe smiled slightly.

Actually, he noticed those two guys as soon as he entered the city. It seems that the Fatui have a more extensive presence in Mondstadt than he imagined.

However, Su Zhe did not intend to explain matters concerning the Knights' internal affairs to Qin now, as the latter already carried a heavy burden.

"Let's not talk about that. I'm a little hungry now, do you think..."

Qin then realized that because of what had just happened, she had promised to treat Su Zhe to a meal, but she hadn't been able to keep her promise yet.

"Let's skip the Knights of Favonius at this hour. I'll take you to the Deer Hunter's Restaurant instead. They have the most delicious food in all of Mondstadt."

The Deer Hunter's Restaurant in Mondstadt is quite famous, not only for its wide variety of delicious dishes but also for its reasonable prices, making it a popular dining spot for many members of the Knights of Favonius.

However, this "not expensive" is relative. Even if the unit price is not expensive, it may not be so if you accumulate a lot of them.

Qin initially thought it was just a meal, nothing serious, but...

"Boss! Another serving of Sweet Flower-Stuffed Chicken, please!"

Su Zhe ate with his mouth full of oil, completely lacking any gentlemanly demeanor. After finishing the chicken leg, he raised his hand and shouted loudly.

"Add more sweet flowers, I want it sweeter!"

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

Sarah's face lit up with a smile.
