Genshin Impact: I'm the Group Owner in Teyvat

The Paimons were dumbfounded.

"You guys!!! That's outrageous!!!"

"Making fun out of other people's unhappiness~!! You guys~!!!"

Several photos were quickly taken, and Paimon pouted angrily, turning his head away from Chu Luo and the others.

"Okay, okay, let's stop laughing..."

Yingmei patted Paimon's little feet, suppressing a laugh: "If you feel tired, just lean on my shoulder and take a nap. I'll give you a day off today, okay?"

"That's more like it~"

Little Paimon has a good personality and an even better temper; he calmed down after a little comforting.

However, just as she was about to lean on Yingmei's shoulder, she suddenly realized that she couldn't get down no matter what she did.

"Waaaaah~ This is so awful, do I have to fly to get through this?!"

……

[Xingqiu: This is terrifying! A punishment I didn't even realize I was being punished! [horrified]]

[Chongyun: If a girl wearing a skirt were punished like this, she would explode! [Thoughtful]]

[Xiaogong: You're right [scary][scary]]

[Ayaka Kamisato: Luckily I didn't answer first, or I would have been so embarrassed [blushing][blushing]]

[Yanfei: It doesn't seem that exaggerated. Didn't you guys notice that Paimon is upside down, but nothing else is affected? [Hmph]]

[Xingqiu: That's true, if a normal person bows their head, their crown will fall off [hehe]]

[Yun Jin: What a terrifying method! That space seems to be sealed off. [Speculation][Speculation]]

……

"Is this the temple of the North Wind Wolf?"

Yingmei looked at the dilapidated temple gate in front of her, which was piled with rubble and dirt, and overgrown with weeds.

It looks like it's been abandoned for a long time.

"Yes, no one has been here for a long time."

Kaiya explained, "Since the death of the North Wind King Wolf, the powerful figure who accompanied him has also disappeared. People don't even know his name, so the commemorative value of him has been greatly diminished."

"As time passed, Lord Barbatos disappeared for a long time, and the name of the North Wind Wolf remained only in legends, rarely mentioned again..."

Kaiya gave a brief account of the history, and everyone listened attentively.

Chu Luo didn't speak; he was analyzing Kaiya's words.

Logically speaking, the remnant soul of the North Wind Wolf should be in the Wolf Marching Territory, which is a training ground.

However, according to Kaiya's account, they do not seem to have this place.

Has it not appeared yet?

But now is not the time to think about these things.

Not far in front of the temple, the group sensed a strong demonic aura, accompanied by a chill.

"I can feel it, it's down there!"

"Let's go take a look!"

"Hey, someone's fighting!"

Who is she?

Bonus chapter delivered!

Chapter 20 New Topic: The Frozen Tree Research Project

Beneath the temple of the North Wind Wolf, there used to be a hollowed-out cave.

But now, the sounds of fighting are coming from below.

A chilling aura emanated from the flowers, making the two fiery blossoms on them look wilted. Chu Luo patted them twice and then put them away.

"Flameflower stamen, good stuff. Diluc might use it to brew wine."

Seeing Chu Luo's actions, Kaiya's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile.

Morning Light Winery is also constantly pushing boundaries, striving to produce even better products that are not limited to dandelion wine. Currently, it is in the research and development stage, and it is not letting go of any strange materials.

But the focus now is on what's below.

Kaiya looked over, and the smile on her face froze instantly. She said incredulously, "It's her?"

Who is she?

Klee watched the battle below with a cute expression, her little face once again showing curiosity.

He was a very strange adult.

Why is she only wearing a skirt in such a cold place?

And so much of it is showing...aren't you cold?

"This person seems to be from the Kingdom of Zhidong, isn't he?"

Noelle thought for a moment and then asked curiously, "A couple of days ago, Captain Jean said that an executor of the Fools from the Kingdom of Winterfell might have arrived in Mondstadt, but hasn't officially shown herself yet. Is she the one they were talking about?"

The person fighting below is a woman, the eighth seat of the Fatui Executive, and she is very strong.

Few people knew that she had come to Mondstadt.

Qin had learned of the executive's arrival from clues, but she had never seen the lady make a public appearance before, and she never expected her to appear here.

"Her codename is Lady, the eighth seat of the Eleven Executive Officers of the Fools, she should be quite powerful."

"Kaya said in a deep voice."

Chu Luo raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised.

The lady actually came here and even started doing the tasks posted in the group. Is the reward really that tempting?

But upon closer inspection, it makes sense.

The lady is looking for Barbatos, intending to give him a "black tiger heart-stealing" (a metaphor for a dangerous attack), but Barbatos hasn't appeared yet.

It just so happens that the secret technique for condensing the soul that I mentioned a couple of days ago was obtained by the lady, and it seems that she has gained a great deal from it.

Between the laid-back Barbatos and the hardworking lady, it's obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.

"Boss, is there any explanation for this?"

Kaiya looked away from Chu Luo, a little anxious.

The Fools are extremely assertive and make no attempt to conceal their aggression, which is more than enough for the free Mondstadt people.

If this Fool's Enforcer were to gain further benefits and increase his power, wouldn't Mondstadt be at an even greater disadvantage in diplomacy?

When it comes to temperament, Mondstadters have it, and so do the Knights of Favonius.

But you have to prove yourself with your abilities, right?

The Grand Master led the elites to distant lands, and even took the Bishop of Favonius with him. Mondstadt is now internally weak, and its strength is truly difficult to assess.

What do you mean?

Chu Luo looked at Kaiya with a puzzled expression.

"It's about this woman... Boss, look, this woman is an executor of the Fatui. She's always been at odds with us. How about... we deduct her reward?"

Kaiya rubbed his hands together, looking expectant, and offered his enthusiastic advice.

"Then ask the system, I have no solution~"

Chu Luo spread his hands and said very seriously, "As the group owner, it is necessary to guarantee the basic rights of every group member. Do you want to see me kicked out of the group and then you become the group owner?"

This cavalry captain is just dreaming.

They have a lot of crooked and unorthodox ideas, but they don't follow the right path.

If I had that kind of power, I'd just imprison this woman and give her a taste of both ice and fire.

"Hey, no, no, boss, that's just what I was thinking..."

Kaiya looked embarrassed, scratched his head, and chuckled.

"Can we go down and take a look?"

Noelle suggested, "This monster is huge, and since there are people fighting it, we can familiarize ourselves with its attack patterns, making the challenge easier later."

"Noelle's right~ Klee wants to go down and check~"

"Let's go down then, Paimon, hold on tight, don't fall!"

"How can I possibly fall down when I'm already like this?!"

The group unfolded their wings of wind and arrived at the spacious entrance below.

The cave was filled with azure ice crystals, and a strange blue creature, over ten meters tall, grotesquely swayed its branches and stamens, exhaling chilling air that sent shivers down one's spine.

"This is a freeze-dried tree."

Chu Luo explained.

"Wasn't this species extinct? How come one of them suddenly appeared?"

Kaiya looked puzzled.

The Knights of Favonius' library contains records of this monster. Many years ago, there was also an Ice Tree, but it seems to have been killed by a stranger.

"This should be another frozen tree."

The erudite Noelle thought for a moment and then revealed her knowledge: "Given the right opportunity and trigger, plants can undergo mutations. That's how the Deception Flower came about, and the Artificial Freeze Tree is another example."

Chulo nodded; Noel was basically right.

He didn't investigate further.

At that moment, the woman was engrossed in playing with the frozen tree, while several others watched attentively.
