Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

Qin, sitting opposite Su Zhe, was not so happy. Looking at the mess on the table and the ever-increasing menu, her heart was bleeding.

How much more do we have to eat?!

She really wanted to ask Su Zhe if he was really human, but when she thought of his identity as the Wind God's Messenger, she held back.

"Qin, don't just look, eat up, don't be shy."

"This wild mushroom and chicken skewers are pretty good, come on, have a taste."

Su Zhe used his greasy hands to hand over the chicken skewers.

"Ha...no, thank you, I'm not hungry."

Qin leaned back tactically, revealing an awkward yet polite smile.

"Su Zhe, you seem to be really... really hungry."

"Of course! You don't know how far I ran today, from over there to over there, 'so' far, you know? I'm exhausted." Su Zhe ate heartily. "If I hadn't been rushing to Mondstadt, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry."

"You wouldn't believe it, but my friend Kyogre is quite impatient. He kept saying that Mondstadt was in dire straits, that the girls of Mondstadt... cough cough, that the people of Mondstadt were suffering from the dragon plague, and that I had to come over right away. As a result, I haven't had a single hot meal along the way."

That's right, the ocean is full of cold, lifeless fish, fish, fish, fish.

When it comes to deliciousness, human food is definitely the best.

The portions were a bit small, each serving was just "a little bit". Fortunately, after transforming into human form, my energy consumption decreased significantly, and my appetite also decreased. Otherwise, if it were Kyogre, the entire Deer Hunter Restaurant wouldn't be enough for him to devour in one bite.

Even so, it still frightened Qin quite a bit; she had never seen anyone eat so much.

After finishing their meal, Qin used trembling hands to take out Mora and pay the bill.

She could almost see the Gunnhild family's wealth being devoured, a truly terrifying prospect.

"Su Zhe, it's so late. Let me take you to the Knights' headquarters first and have them arrange a room for you."

Su Zhe is the messenger of the Wind God, so she has to take good care of him both emotionally and logically.

However, Su Zhe rejected the suggestion.

"I'll pass on going to the Knights. I have some things to take care of. I'll go after I'm done with that."

He had just received some information and wanted to take advantage of the darkness to find out more about it.

As for accommodation, Kyogre has a ton of Mora to his name, enough to buy a hotel without any problem. Why would he have to worry about not having a place to stay?

"Oh well."

Watching Su Zhe wave goodbye and walk into the night, Qin stood there for a while before heading towards the Knights' encampment.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance, I saw a large group of people gathered there, discussing excitedly.

She then discovered that most of the people who had gone to the three major temples had returned, and it seemed to be good news.

"Reporting to Captain Qin, the temples of the West Wind Eagle and the South Wind Lion have been captured. Now only the North Wind Wolf remains. Miss Lisa and Captain Kaeya are over there. After receiving news of the monster siege, they immediately sent the Travelers back with us."

As soon as the knight finished his report, a voice came from inside.

"Hey~ Commander Qin, we're back!"

Two figures, one tall and one short, emerged from the building. Paimon floated in the air, waving cheerfully at Jean.

"Huh? Why isn't that blue-haired messenger with you? Aren't you two a couple?"

Qin: "???"

Paimon's words caused Jean's thoughts to pause briefly.

"Lovers?! Paimon, where did you hear that from?"

"That's what everyone says."

Paimon tilted his little head. "Isn't that right? Isn't that right?"

"Everyone?"

"On our way back, after we entered the city, we heard them talking about how a great envoy had come to the city and that he had a very good relationship with you, Commander Qin. They even saw you two having dinner together!"

Qin: "..."

She knew about the commotion the Wind God's messenger had caused in Mondstadt, but since it was a good thing, she didn't try to stop it.

"What...does this have to do with us being a couple?"

"Probably... no, hehe~" Paimon grinned sheepishly. "But everyone says so, Traveler, don't you think so? You heard it too, right?"

Beside him, the blonde girl nodded.

"Ok!"

"Wait... Phew~ I don't care what you heard, it's all nonsense. He was asked by Kyogre to come and help. As for the Wind God's Messenger, I only found out about it today."

Are she and Su Zhe a couple?

Qin didn't know how this kind of thing spread, but it just felt very outrageous.

How could such a thing be possible?

She and Su Zhe had only just met.

How can you tell that she and Su Zhe are a couple?

Could this be the mysterious ability to 'pass it down'?

"Kyogre? Oh! You know the sea monster from the Cider Lake that was circulating in Mondstadt a while ago, right?"

Paimon remembered that Jean had asked her and Ying about it, and she casually said "delicious," which made Yura and Amber very emotional.

"Yes, that's him. Su Zhe and Georka are friends."

As she was saying this, Qin suddenly noticed that Paimon and Ying were whispering to each other.

"What's wrong?" she asked, puzzled. "Is there a problem now?"

"Hehe~ No, it's just..."

Paimon blinked, put his hands behind his back, and swayed in the air.

"We were thinking, since the Wind God's messenger is so familiar with Kyogre, he must be very rich."

Qin: "?"

Where did this strange logic come from?

"Think about it, isn't there a lot of treasure in the ocean? There are also many ancient ruins that we can't retrieve, but it should be easy for that Kyogre, right?"

"..."

"Traveler, traveler, when you meet the Wind God's Messenger... no, no, when you meet the Messenger himself, you'd better perform well!"

Ying raised his hand and showed off his biceps.

"Leave it to me!"

"..."

Qin was speechless. Come on, you are heroes who repelled the dragon, can't you be serious for once?

For some reason, she always felt that Ying, this seemingly simple and kind girl, sometimes had very strange ideas, and Paimon was the same. The two of them together were a perfect match.

Shaking her head, Qin didn't continue the conversation between Su Zhe and Geoka, but instead asked about the temple.

Because of concerns about a monster siege, Lisa sent them back first, and considering that Dvalin might reappear, they needed the great hero Lumin to keep watch.

"Regarding the temple incident, were you all injured?"

Paimon, hands on his hips, said arrogantly, "Of course it's fine! The Traveler and I defeated all the monsters in the temple!"

Ying: →_→

What do you mean "you were with me"? You were the one watching the whole thing, okay?

Hey! Paimon! Why are you just watching?

"That's good. You must be tired too. Go and rest first. We can talk about the rest after Kaiya and the others come back."

"In that case, let's go and rest first. Hehe~ I hope that envoy will return soon. Hearing everyone say that, I really want to see him soon!"

After calling the returning knights to rest, Qin glanced back at the outside of the camp, thought of that figure, shook her head secretly, and turned to go inside.

...

The city of Mondstadt at night is usually a lively place filled with laughter and joy.

But because of the dragon's calamity, most people are staying at home, except for the place called 'Angel's Gift,' which is still lit up and from it comes the chanting of the resident poet, telling stories of distant lands.

Unable to go on adventures, the adventurers gathered here to drink and chat out of boredom. The young man pushed open the door, walked to the counter, and stretched out his hands, displaying the Mora in them side by side.

One, two, three... cautiously.

"Bartender, give me a pot of dandelion wine," the young man said boldly.

"Why is it you again?"

"Hehe~ So can I have some dandelion wine today?"

"No, our boss said that minors can only drink beverages. Here, this is our 'apple wine,' it tastes just as good."

"No! I want to drink! And I'm an adult now!"

The playful scene had become a daily occurrence at this tavern, and the staff were long used to the self-proclaimed 'very old' boy. Perhaps he looked like an adult when telling stories in the square, but right now...

Well, for Mond, who pursues freedom, he's not actually that strict about this aspect.

After all, sometimes gender isn't an issue, right?

But at least that's the rule of the tavern. No one dares to disobey the owner. Even if a member of the Knights comes, they'll likely get a cold shoulder.

After making a fuss for a while, the boy sighed and walked away with the apple sauce.

Actually, it wasn't that he didn't have any wine to drink, but the wine from Dawn Winery was very famous even in Teyvat, so he had always wanted to try it.

Unfortunately, the owner of Château de la Dawn, Diluc, was too demanding, and no matter what he said, the other party refused to sell him the wine.

There are indeed many wines on the 'black market' that are said to have come from Dawn Winery, but the market is a mixed bag, with most being low-quality fake wines that are passed off as high-quality ones, and they are also expensive.

Of course, he is a god after all, money is not a problem for him. Well, the main thing is that he doesn't want to do that kind of thing. A god should naturally go through the proper channels, right?
