Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

It's truly irresistible.

[If Sister Victoria hadn't come to them personally...]

Today's work will likely be delayed.

Next, of course, is to eat.

Then save Dvalin.

[Also, let me replenish my stock of stockings.]

Everyone: Wow~ So quickly exhausted? (Tactical lean back.jpg)

But don't say I didn't warn you beforehand.

[Resolve the Tvalin issue.]

I'm about to head to Liyue.

Friends in Liyue, please prepare yourselves.

Ningguang and the other members of Liyue covered their mouths and chuckled: What kind of mental preparation? Are you prepared to be kicked out?

Ten minutes later—

Halfway through his meal at the Deer Hunter Restaurant, Yingmei and Paimon appeared before Gu Jing. They looked travel-worn, clearly having completed some tasks that morning and now coming here specifically to freeload a meal.

Gu Jing readily agreed, and then witnessed Paimon showcasing his skill of cooking a whole Sweet Flower Chicken in three minutes, leaving the viewers of the live stream stunned.

I took out a tissue and wiped the oil off her mouth.

Gu Jing voiced what everyone was thinking: "Your body is almost the same as Sweet Flower Chicken, how did you manage to eat it?"

Paimon, feeling very well taken care of, smiled happily: "Hehe~ I ate it all like that, the sweet flower-stuffed chicken was so delicious! Thank you, Gu Jing!"

Gu Jing smiled slightly upon hearing this: "No need to be so polite with me. After all, I see this world from Yingmei's perspective. In a sense, you are also my emergency food and my best partner."

"Humph~"

With an annoyed nasal tone, Paimon crossed her arms and turned her head away: "Although Paimon also thinks Gu Jing is her best friend, I've said it many times, Paimon is not emergency food. Besides, I... I'm not talking to you if I get angry."

While seemingly threatening, the little guy was also secretly squinting his eyes to observe Gu Jing's reaction.

Seeing this, Yingmei smiled and chimed in, "Gu Jing, I think Paimon is right. At the very least, we should have a sense of awe for food."

"That's right, that's right!"

Paimon fell for it immediately, but quickly realized what was going on. His smile vanished instantly, and he stomped his foot in anger: "Damn it! Who's the food? That damned Firefly!!!"

Gu Jing chuckled and added, "Speaking of which, Yingmei caught Paimon from the water. I think she must be a special kind of fish."

Yingmei immediately smiled and agreed, "Very likely, but she doesn't have fins or gills, so how do you explain that?"

"Hey!!!"

"You two, don't ignore me!"

"And don't discuss such impolite issues in front of me!"

Paimon was furious. They exchanged a glance, and the two scoundrels knew when to stop.

PS: The picture shows Paimon.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Unattainable Love! What Kind of Professional Good Samaritan?

As expected, when Gu Jing and the others found Wendy, he was still fast asleep at Angel's Gift, clearly having drunk quite a bit last night.

Gu Jing didn't use violence to wake him up. Instead, he asked Diluc, who was acting as the bartender, to order a drink and place it in front of him.

The guy woke up quickly after smelling the aroma of the wine, downed it in one gulp, and was still not satisfied: "Another one!"

Everyone: "..." 6!

[Wind Dragon Ruins]

Without any hesitation, Gu Jing, now in work mode, found Wendy and went straight to the Wind Dragon Ruins through the portal.

At this time, the Wind Dragon Ruins had been occupied by hordes of monsters. Monsters were everywhere, in the rift valleys, on the plains, and on the broken walls.

Just as Wendy was about to fire a vortex arrow to gather the monsters, Gu Jing stopped him: "No need for that, I can handle it."

With a wave of his hand, hundreds of humanoid demonic armors materialized around him.

Rushing towards the Wind Dragon Ruins for a carpet-bombing attack, neither Hilichurls nor Abyss Mages could resist the steel torrent of humanoid demon armor. The seals on the three light-guiding mechanisms were also directly released by them.

However, sharp-eyed people also noticed that several abyss mages at the rear of the monster army retreated when they saw that things were not going well.

"Oh, this..."

Venti, who hadn't contributed any damage, was completely numb: "I have no problem going straight into the final battle, but I feel like I'm not involved at all..."

Paimon, hands on his hips, had the air of someone who'd been there all along: "It was the same when I was working with Ying. She did all the work, and I just stayed on the sidelines cheering her on. It was very safe. It's even safer with Gu Jing!"

"Besides, isn't your drunken poet habit a favorite pastime of slacking off?"

"Isn't it better that I don't have to do anything?"

Wendy: "..." This is truly... speechless.jpg

"Pfft~ This Wendy is really pathetic to be rendered speechless by Paimon."

"But this tower on the ruins..."

Unable to suppress a laugh, Gu Jing looked at Wendy with a deep gaze and said, "I've always had a question: more than 2600 years ago, you were just a weak wind elemental spirit. How did you manage to defeat Mikalabian?"

Upon hearing this, Wendy's expression turned serious, but she quickly smiled and winked at him: "That's underestimating me. Although I was no match for Him back then, I am a gust of wind that can bring change and hope."

Gu Jing smiled and nodded after listening: "That's hard to refute."

[Regarding the Lone King in the Tower:]

At that time, the land of Mondstadt was covered in snow.

[He enveloped and sheltered Old Mond with a hurricane, and the people of that time called Him the King of Gods.]

However, the fierce wind could never comprehend the softness of mortal flesh and blood.

[Just as his words were full of love for people, he was surrounded only by a chilling wind.]

Seeing his people unable to straighten themselves in the endless gale, he interpreted their suffering as an expression of reverence and boundless obedience to his king.

Times have changed, and those who were once kept in captivity are now yearning for freedom.

The lonely king in the tower cannot see this longing.

Until the very last moment of life.

He believed that all his ministers loved him.

Just as he loved them.

The ruins of the tower, devoid of any demonic resentment, are the best proof.

[After all, it is common knowledge that the death of a demon god usually leaves behind their resentment on the earth, but this tower ruin remains completely untouched.]

So, this tyrant really offered no resistance, didn't he?

Not only did it offer no resistance, but it also gathered up all the dying energy tides.

[The Demon God's lover is clearly not just a figure of speech.]

But for each other...

This is all a kind of 'love that cannot be reached' (love that cannot be conveyed to the other person).

[And it was precisely because of the precedent of His direct failure.]

Wendy would be the one to establish a kingdom without a king.

However, it's somewhat heartless to say.

The Tornado Demon God who has already died was not a pretty girl.

While I do have some feelings about this, they are only that his way of loving his partner is easily misunderstood, and that he doesn't understand people's hearts.

After expressing my feelings, I lost all interest in him.

As the old man said, it's not a good thing to focus on a god who has died.

My addition is: learn from the lessons and draw lessons from them; that's enough.

After all, we live in the present.

Everyone agreed: Indeed!

[Cough cough...]

[It could also be in the groin area.]

Everyone: "..." As expected of you! (A mix of laughter and tears.jpg)

******

Amidst laughter and conversation, Gu Jing and his group arrived at the top floor of the tower ruins, where Wendy, a person who values ​​rituals, smiled and began to play the zither.

"After a fierce battle, the epic tale of heroes has finally entered the final stage."

"We will be able to save the children who are cursed by the abyss soon."

"Before that, I would also like to ask the two heroes on behalf of Mondstadt."

What are your thoughts on this matter?

His interruption startled Yingmei and Paimon, while Gu Jing, who was at work, remained calm throughout.

The outspoken Paimon excitedly replied, "It's probably because there's a very generous reward for completing the mission. Leader Jean said she'd give us a million Mora as a reward! That much Mora could buy so many Sweet Flower Chickens!"

As she spoke, she drooled, a sight that made everyone chuckle.

Wendy smiled and nodded: "It is indeed a generous reward. It would be even better if someone would buy me drinks afterward."

"And the travelers?"
