"Wendy! You bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

Before he could explain to Luminous, the single-minded Luminous grabbed her bladeless sword and charged forward. Wendy was her friend, and she was determined to take back Wendy's Heart of God.

Watching Ying rush forward only to be knocked unconscious by the lady with a karate chop, Su Bai rubbed his forehead. Ying really needs to change her personality, or she'll definitely suffer in the future.

"Now only you, the fox spirit of Liyue, are left. How about trying to snatch this Heart of God from my hand?"

Under the giant umbrella, the lady casually played with the Heart of God, which contained the element of wind. Although it was somewhat ugly, that did not diminish her curiosity about it.

The Heart of God is nothing more than a chess piece containing the element of wind. I really don't understand why Her Majesty the Queen would spend so much time and energy collecting such a thing.

The lightning mage holding the umbrella behind the lady had a bitter expression on his face. He looked at Su Bai with pleading eyes, "Please, buddy, say something! Whether I fight with the lady or I back down, just let me rest for a while. I really can't hold this umbrella any longer."

I wonder where the debt collector who usually holds the umbrella for the lady is. Such a big umbrella is too big for her, a thin lightning mage, to hold for very long.

However, this lightning mage dared not lower the umbrella. The person before her had accidentally tilted the umbrella, letting the sunlight shine on the lady, and that poor fellow was instantly frozen into an ice cube.

Faced with the pleading look in the eyes of the Thunderfire Sorcerer, Su Bai was initially puzzled. His mind told him that he did not know this Thunderfire Sorcerer. After all, all Thunderfire Sorcerers dressed the same. Even if they had met once before, Su Bai would not recognize them. Moreover, for some reason, he always felt that these green-haired Thunderfire Sorcerers looked a lot like Sugar.

Chapter 82 Flowers Watered with Blood

"Hey, I have a question. You're bullying Paimon like this, aren't you worried that after you die, Paimon will go crazy stealing your offerings from your grave? That little guy holds a grudge."

Su Bai pointed to Paimon, who was still in the ice. The lady laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and her proud pair of slimes on her chest shook incessantly.

"Haha, I didn't expect the immortals of Liyue to have such a sense of humor. Me, die? I won't die until I've accomplished my great task for Her Majesty the Queen!"

"That's hard to say. You might get struck by lightning one day."

Su Bai's words made the woman laugh even louder, and the Mondstadt people around were all attracted by the woman's laughter. Several little girls looked at the trembling slime on the woman's chest, lowered their heads and quickly left. These little girls couldn't understand why she was so big when she was clearly a human!

The remaining LSPs were so captivated by the beautiful scenery that they couldn't look away. If it weren't for the woman's notorious ruthlessness, many of them would probably have approached her to chat.

Su Bai didn't feel anything for the lady. The liquid fire flowing inside her was enough to turn him into a roasted fox. He didn't have any masochistic tendencies. But to be fair, the lady did look like a beautiful flower at that moment.

"Unfortunately, even the most beautiful flowers, watered with blood, still have a fishy smell."

With a slight sigh, Su Bai put away his distracting thoughts. Although he didn't know why Barbatos would allow the lady to slap him, he knew that Barbatos must have some serious illness to do so. If the lady dared to yell at that old woman Ying, she would definitely be met with an unexpected stab.

"Since this matter is between you and Barbatos, I, as an outsider, will not interfere. But can you tell me what you need the Heart of God for? Do you want to become the next Wind God?"

Su Bai was somewhat curious as to why the lady was speaking so frankly to Wendy. After all, a god is not called a god because he has a divine heart; a god becomes a god because of his own inherent strength.

This can be seen from the old woman Shadow and Sister Goddess. Even though Sister Goddess has the Heart of God, her strength is still far inferior to that old woman Shadow.

"Ha, the Wind God? I have no interest in that position. I am only loyal to Her Majesty the Empress."

When the lady spoke of her queen, a hint of fervor shone in her eyes. She was overjoyed to finally have an ageless appearance.

"As for what we need the Heart of God for, you will naturally find out when the time comes, hahahaha."

The woman laughed and left. The sorcerer Lei Ying breathed a long sigh of relief. Just hang in there a little longer, and she'll be able to rest soon. Su Bai, on the other hand, was completely baffled. Good heavens, this was really inexplicable.

"As expected, the Riddler is the most annoying guy ever. He should get out of Teyvat!"

At first, Su Bai was a little worried about his Rock King Emperor because of the lady's words, but then he thought, how could Barbatos, this lazy guy, compare to his Rock King Emperor? The Rock King Emperor is a God of War. He can wipe out a few Fatui Enforcers with a flick of his wrist. Why would he be afraid of a mere lady?

"Wendy? Ying? What happened here, Su Bai?"

Jean ran out of the Cathedral of the Winds of Favonius and was stunned when she saw Luminous and Wendy lying on the ground. Goodness, should she shout "Anemo Archon assassinated!" and seal off the scene?

"Oh, I don't know what happened either. When I arrived, these two people were already lying on the ground."

Sue continued to lie through her teeth without batting an eye. If Jean found out that Barbatos's Heart of God had been stolen by the Lady, Jean probably wouldn't let the Lady leave Mondstadt so easily, and Barbatos's plans would probably fall through.

Hearing that Su Bai didn't know what had happened either, Jean hurriedly helped Ying and Wendy run to the Cathedral of the West to find Barbara for treatment. Su Bai looked at Paimon in the ice block at his feet. Well, little Paimon was ignored again.

"Poor little Paimon has been forgotten again. I'm going to find Bennett anyway, so I'll have him use fire to thaw you out."

Su Bai picked up the ice block and walked into the West Wind Cathedral. Inside the cathedral, Barbara was treating Ying and Wendy, but Wendy 'woke up' after only a few treatments.

After finding out what had happened, Qin immediately rushed to the Knights' headquarters. She wanted to check the information she had gathered about the Fools over the past few days. Since the lady dared to openly attack the Wind God, the Fools might be planning something big.

“Bennett, you can’t play with fire indoors anymore. It’s very dangerous. If I hadn’t been here today, the entire West Wind Cathedral would have been burned down by the two of you.”

"Hehe, okay, okay, I promise I won't play with fire in the ward next time."

Inside the ward, Barbara was lecturing Bennett with a stern face. It was unclear whether Bennett's bad luck had struck again, but a gust of wind blew into the ward through the window, causing the flame Bennett was using to thaw Paimon's to veer off course and set the blanket next to him on fire.

If Barbara hadn't arrived in time, Paimon, who had just been frozen, would probably have experienced the agony of being roasted alive again. After lecturing Bennett for a while, Barbara left the ward to take care of the unconscious Ying. Seeing Barbara leave, Paimon breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

"It's unbelievable that Barbara, who usually seems so gentle and weak, can be so dignified."

"Yes, yes, I've had so many wounds treated by Miss Barbara, but this is the first time I've ever seen her with such a stern face."

"By the way, little guy, did you also accidentally wander into the cave of the Frozen Tree and get frozen, just like me?"

Bennett gave Paimon a knowing look. Paimon scratched his head. Ice Tree? That thing is just food for Xiangling's people. When did Ice Tree start freezing people? This guy is so lame.

"Oh, I forgot you don't know each other yet. Let me introduce you."

"Paymon, the young man who saved you is called Bennett. He's a very strong and warm-hearted person, and also Rizer's best friend. Rizer packed some food from the banquet last night just for him."

“Bennett, this little guy that looks delicious is called Paimon. He’s an emergency food for a friend of mine.”

"Hey! Paimon isn't for eating!"

Su Bai ignored Paimon's resistance, and while wiping the water off Paimon with a towel, he introduced the two of them. Bennett chuckled and lowered his head shyly. He didn't expect that Razer would still be thinking of him while eating out. He was truly his good brother.

"By the way, hasn't Lei Ze brought you food yet? I remember he said last night that he would heat up the food for you for breakfast."

"Huh? No, maybe something happened on the way that delayed them."

Su Bai narrowed his eyes slightly. This didn't seem like Razer's style. However, Bennett's words made some sense. Perhaps they had encountered some trouble on the way. Maybe they should wait and see.

Chapter 83 Beast Realm Hounds

"Rayze must have run into some trouble since he hasn't come for so long. I need to go find him!"

Despite Barbara's strict prohibition against Bennett leaving the hospital, Bennett, who had paced around the ward countless times, finally couldn't help but worry about Rizer. Stealing a glance at Barbara bustling around in the church, he made up his mind to go find Rizer.

"Bennett, don't wander off. Barbara won't let you out."

“Last time you ran out before your injury had healed, and you got injured again in less than half a day. This time, no matter what you say, Barbara won’t let you go out.”

Su Bai lay on the bed casually flipping through the doctrines of the West Wind Cathedral. Rather than doctrines, it was more like a collection of stories about Barbatos, a lazy bum. It contained many stories that Su Bai had never heard before. Although these stories were interesting, their authenticity was questionable.

Just like the story recorded above, the great Barbatos encountered an apple orchard that had been blown down by a storm while traveling in Mondstadt. The fruit growers were weeping on the ground. The kind-hearted Barbatos could not bear to see his people so sad, so he transformed into a merchant and bought all the apples. Ah, praise be to the great Barbatos.

Su Bai almost burst out laughing when he saw this story. Putting aside whether Barbatos would actually do it, even if Barbatos wanted to, he wouldn't have that many Mora. After all, Wendy is a well-known pauper and drunkard in Mondstadt.

"Brother Su Bai, please keep an eye on Barbara for me. I'm climbing out the window, but I can't let Barbara find out."

Bennett looked around and finally chose to leave through the window, the least likely place to be discovered. It was Bennett's first time climbing out of a window, and he mentally cheered himself up.

He clumsily approached the window, looked around to make sure no one was nearby, then closed his eyes, pushed off with both hands, and flipped out. Seeing Bennett's perfect window-flipping technique, Su Bai gave him a thumbs up. When he was a kid, his technique for sneaking into the kitchen through the window to steal tricolor dumplings was nowhere near as perfect as Bennett's.

To Bennett and Suebeth's utter surprise, some rude person threw a piece of fruit peel out the window.

As Bennett stepped down from the height, before he could even open his eyes, he felt his foot slip and he rolled on the ground like a gourd. The open space of the West Wind Cathedral, which Barbara had cleared clean, had now become an accomplice. At this moment, all Bennett wanted to say to Barbara was that sometimes being too conscientious was not a good thing.

Bennett, rolling around, reached out to press the ground to stop himself, but Barbara had swept the open space too clean, and Bennett's body just wouldn't stop. Helpless, Bennett could only let his body roll around on the ground.

Su Bai didn't know Bennett had fallen at first. He was still leisurely flipping through Barbatos's good deeds on the bed. Since the ward was on the first floor, Su Bai didn't believe that someone could get injured by jumping out of a first-floor window. But Bennett completely changed Su Bai's understanding.

With a series of painful screams, Bennett tumbled down the steps in front of the Cathedral of the West and onto the statue of the wind god in front of the square. With a crisp sound, Bennett's lower leg was unsurprisingly broken.

Hearing the commotion, people hurriedly took Bennett into the West Wind Cathedral. As Su Bai expected, Bennett received another severe scolding.

Barbara had originally intended to remind Su Bai that he had seen Bennett, but after seeing Su Bai holding the doctrine of the West Wind Cathedral, Barbara immediately praised Su Bai's love of learning and mentioned that if Su Bai had any questions, he could ask her.

On the hospital bed, Bennett wrapped Barbara up in bandages, turning her into a bandaged man. Barbara's fractured leg was also fixed to the bed with a cast. With only his eyes showing, Bennett cast a look at Su Bai, indicating that he needed help.

"Alright, alright, I'll go find Raize and see what happened. He lives in Wolf's Territory, right?"

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Brother Su Bai, hehe."

Su Bai looked at Bennett, whose whole body was wrapped in bandages, and shook his head to indicate that he didn't need to be so polite. If he had known that Bennett was injured like this, he would have stopped Bennett from the beginning.

"I hope Razer will recognize you when he sees you again. Bennett, take good care of your injury. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to see Razer by tomorrow at the latest."

Within the Wolf Territory, towering trees blocked out most of the sunlight, while sparse, dappled optical fibers shone through the branches, making the territory appear exceptionally eerie. The pervasive smell of blood in the forest further amplified the sinister atmosphere of the surrounding environment.

"What happened here? Why does the smell of blood permeate the air?"

Bloodstains, scratches, wolf fur, broken teeth—the signs of battle were everywhere, all indicating that a major battle had taken place here not long ago. Su Bai sniffed the air, and if he wasn't mistaken, the smell was that of fresh wolf blood. It seemed that one of the participants in this battle was the wolf pack that had adopted Raize.

"But who could be the enemy? There are no other creature footprints around here."

Su Bai crouched down and carefully examined the traces nearby. The more he observed, the more he felt something was wrong. Apart from the wolf's footprints, there were no other creatures' footprints nearby. But logically speaking, the chances of a united animal like a wolf fighting each other were almost zero. This discovery made Su Bai fall into deep thought.

Just as Su Bai was deep in thought, a whooshing sound whistled past his ear. Su Bai subconsciously lowered his head, and when he came to his senses, a few white hairs quietly fell from his head.

"Which scoundrel attacked me???"

Since the third tail, symbolizing the wind element, grew out, Su Bai, although not yet proficient in controlling the wind element, has an innate ability to perceive the surrounding environment. However, he is now unable to sense any movement around him, which is quite intriguing.

Hey~

A strange cry rang out above Su Bai's head. Su Bai looked up and was startled. Wasn't this the Beast Realm Hunting Dog mentioned in the Inazuma History Book? How could it be here? And what about those Beast Realm cubs following behind it? Did they bring their whole family on a trip to Wolf Territory?

"I never imagined that the Beast Hounds actually float in the air. No wonder the depiction of this thing in the history books looked so strange to me. It turns out that this thing doesn't run on the ground."

Wait a minute, looking at the Beast Realm Hound floating in the air, Su Bai had some speculations in his mind. If the Beast Realm Hound was an enemy of the wolves in the Wolf Territory, then it would explain why there were only wolf footprints on the ground. Moreover, the environment of the Wolf Territory was dark, which was not only suitable for wolves to live in, but also suitable for Beast Realm Hounds to live in. It would make sense if the two sides fought for territory.

(Thank you so much for the donations, brothers! I'm so grateful! (I'm stunned!))

Chapter 84 The Prey

"Look at me like that, do you think I'm prey?"

Seeing the Beast Hound's eyes, which were almost as bright as Paimon's when it saw something delicious, Su Bai sneered. Sure enough, these brainless monsters only follow their inner desires and cannot judge the difference between friend and foe.

"Given your intelligence, you don't seem like the kind of dogs who would think of something like fighting for territory. It seems there's either a mastermind behind this or some clever dog directing things."

While analyzing the situation, Su Bai took out a fruit knife, with lightning element wrapped around it. It was the first time he had ever seen a Beast Realm Hound, and to prevent the clothes that Sister Shenzi had made for him from being torn, he decided to be serious.

"The Inazuma History Book records that the hunting dogs of the Beast Realm are elusive and difficult to stop bleeding from scratches inflicted by their claws. Many shogunate soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but bled to death after winning battles. It seems I need to be more careful. I don't want to end up with a fox skin."
