“Knight Amber, if you are injured, we will send you to Miss Barbara. Don’t blame us.”

"Fire arrows!"

With a whistle from Hopkins, a dense barrage of arrows rained down on the wolf on the ground, and a greedy smile crept across Hopkins' face.

"Sir Amber, let me teach you a lesson: when Mora speaks, even the truth must remain silent!"

(Hopkins is a fake seller. I bought a bottle of holy water from him when I first started playing Genshin Impact, but it was completely useless. What a rip-off!)

Chapter 88 Two Principles

At that moment, Amber felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. An inexplicable chill swept over her entire body. The dark side of this world had finally revealed itself to this innocent young girl, and the greed of human nature was slowly unfolding before her. Looking at the arrows flying everywhere, Amber was stunned for a moment. She felt that her knightly spirit of so many years was about to collapse.

"How could this be?"

Amber forgot to resist. Ying, Su Bai, and Razer were not the kind of people who would sit and wait for death. Ying raised her hands above her head, and wind element kept gathering in her palms. Soon, a ball of wind element appeared in her palms.

A bolt of lightning flashed, and Razer, wielding his lightning element, hurled it into the air. Luminous, in conjunction with Razer's lightning, successfully unleashed a wave of diffusion, with the lightning and wind elements knocking down many arrows from the sky.

Su Bai wasn't idle either. He casually drew a few talismans and threw them into the air. The lightning element, enhanced by immortal power, directly shattered the remaining arrows in the sky into several pieces. The destroyed arrows fell helplessly to the ground. Only then did the hunters realize how foolish their actions had been. However, there was no medicine for regret on the continent of Teyvat.

"Hopkins, right?"

“What you just said does make some sense, but you seem to have forgotten that this is Teyvat.”

A fruit knife silently appeared in Su Bai's hand. The white-glowing blade made Hopkins take a few steps back in fear. However, for the sake of those golden Mora, Hopkins said, his voice filled with bravado but not genuine fear.

"What do you mean by this? Do you want to be our enemy?"

"Hehe, it seems that your comfortable life in Mondstadt has made you forget the most primitive and basic law of survival in Teyvat. Well, since I have some time today, let me help you remember what the law of the jungle really means."

As they were talking, Su Bai stopped Luminous and Razor, who were about to teach the hunters a lesson. If it came down to it, Su Bai, an immortal who didn't have much interaction with Mondstadt, was obviously more suitable than Luminous and Razor.

"It's been a while since I've had any exercise, so you can just watch from the sidelines."

The blade, crackling with lightning, looked like a ball of lightning held in Su Bai's hand from afar. The Eye of God hanging at his waist shone with a purple light. Hopkins finally panicked. He hadn't expected that the people present all had the Eye of God, even the child raised by wolves.

"Amber, Amber, what are you standing there for? Come and protect me! Can't you see someone's going to hit us?"

"Let me tell you, if I get even the slightest injury, I will definitely file a complaint against you with the management of your Knights of Favonius."

"No matter how much Mora I spend, I will make sure you get fired from the Knights!"

As Su Bai drew closer, Hopkins's mental defenses, which were only effective against the Knights, began to crumble. Amber wanted to stop him but was stopped by Ying. Seeing Amber's puzzled look, Ying shook her head and said softly...

"I trust Su Bai; he knows how to act."

"But... okay."

Amber wanted to say something more, but thinking about Hopkins' behavior just now, she also felt that Hopkins had gone too far, and perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to let Su Bai teach him a lesson.

"Mr. Hopkins, you don't think Mora is omnipotent, do you?"

Su Bai walked up to Hopkins and looked directly into his eyes. Su Bai could see clearly the evasiveness, resentment, and fear in Hopkins' eyes. Su Bai patted Hopkins' face.

"Since you've taught Amber a lesson, and I'm always grateful, I'll teach you two lessons today."

谷鶔

“I remember that Amber and Jean had a very good relationship. The relationship you found with Mora is probably not very reliable.”

"The first principle is..."

The lightning element in Su Bai's hand surged instantly, and the tingling, slightly painful sensation caused Hopkins to collapse to the ground and faint after only a few seconds.

"When power rises, even Mora must remain silent."

Because Amber, the Knight of Favonius, was in front of him, Su Bai did not kill Hopkins. He did not want to create a rift between himself and Amber because of a scumbag.

After dealing with Hopkins, the mastermind, Su Bai looked at the hunters behind Hopkins. These fools, blinded by Mora, didn't infuriate Su Bai as much as Hopkins, but they weren't much better.

As for the second reason...

"That is, in the face of absolute power, neither Mora, power, nor truth can remain silent. The law of the jungle is the rule that has evolved in Teyvat over thousands of years."

A flash of white light, and the hunters felt their bodies go limp and then they were dizzy and passed out. Su Bai had shown mercy to these hunters; the fruit knife in his hand did not inflict any wounds on them. He had simply used the fruit knife's excellent conductivity to knock them all out.

"All done? Hey? Diluc? Yura? When did you two get here?"

"Why are you looking at me like that? If you want an autograph, I have a pen and paper here."

Su Bai clapped his hands lightly and turned around to greet everyone, only to find that Yura and Diluc were standing behind Razer at some point. However, his friends seemed to be looking at him in a strange way.

"Uh, I didn't expect Su Bai to be so eloquent. Has Su Bai been through a lot?"

"Haha, no, it's just that I read a lot of different kinds of books. The saying 'There are houses of gold and beauties in books' is not just empty talk."

Faced with Paimon's question, Su Bai laughed heartily. As a popular place for novels, Inazuma had read a lot of novels about Yae no Kyouji's younger brother during his years in Inazuma, including light novels about YY (fantasy/fantasy).

The book "My Fox Fairy Boyfriend" was so explicit that Su Bai secretly kept the manuscript after refusing to accept it. However, no matter how he looked at it, the handwriting on the manuscript seemed somewhat familiar.

"Huh? You can make money by reading books? That's amazing."

"It's just a metaphor. Paimon, you really should read more books. Hmm, I've decided to deduct a portion of your food allowance to buy you books."

"Huh? How could this be!"

Paimon's exclamation did not change Ying's mind. Ying rubbed her forehead. She had always felt that Paimon was not very smart, but she did not expect her to be so stupid. She really did not know what to say. Perhaps she should listen to Su Bai's suggestion and let Paimon read some books.

"Yura, Diluc, you two also received news of the wolf attack on Springvale from Wolfrune? It's just a misunderstanding."

"Wolves attacking Springvale? That's not why I came. I'm worried that Amber might come looking for Amber."

Yura pulled Amber aside and carefully examined her for any wounds. Diluc, who was standing nearby, did not answer Su Bai's question; his eyes remained fixed on the center of the open space.

Chapter 89 The Trial of the North Wind King Wolf (1)

Following Diluc's gaze, Su Bai saw a rusty giant sword stuck in the open ground. He instinctively used his divine power to sense it, and a fierce aura mixed with killing intent and an indomitable spirit rushed towards him.

Su Bai was startled by the sudden aura, but then he laughed. Goodness, it has quite a temper. This is the first time he has seen such a temperamental weapon. Even the Hu Tao's staff doesn't have such a temper.

"Hey Diluc, why don't you go up and try pulling it out? This sword is probably unclaimed in the middle of nowhere. If you pull it out, it'll be yours."

Knowing full well that this sword was no ordinary item, Diluc was tempted by Su Bai's words, but he wasn't stupid. Having personally witnessed the legendary Wolf King of the North in the Wind Dragon Ruins, he didn't believe that this sword in the Wolf King's territory was unclaimed. What if this sword belonged to the Wolf King? He would be doomed.

“What this foxy boy said isn’t wrong, you red-haired brat. If you can pull out this sword, it’s yours.”

A deep voice came from inside a large door, and the vast area was instantly shrouded in mist. Apart from Razor and Diluc, who had met Boreas once before, everyone else raised their weapons and looked warily toward the door.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a giant wave filled with wind and ice elements slowly emerged from the mist. With a wolf howl, the mist dissipated, and the majestic King Wolf of the North Wind appeared before everyone.

"Ying, Ying, what a huge wolf! It must be as big as twenty Paimons. It looks really powerful."

"Lord Barbatos, what I see! The giant wolf from the story actually exists!"

Amber rubbed her eyes. The appearance of Boreas had a significant impact on the young scout knight's innocent mind. As a member of the Lawrence family, Yura knew that Andreus's existence was recorded in her family's records, so although she was surprised, she was not as shocked as Amber.

"Are you the ones who came here to undergo the trial? Your strength is quite respectable."

Boreas glanced at everyone, and when he saw the three fox tails behind Su Bai, his gaze paused slightly. So this was the younger of that fox? He wondered how this poor little guy had been bullied by Dvalin.

"Trial? Is that greatsword also a reward for the trial?"

Diluc's eyes lit up. As expected of the Wolf King of the North Wind, he was indeed generous. Boreas nodded. This greatsword had been with him for a long time. If this red-haired boy could take the sword away, that would be his skill.

"Not only that greatsword, but my followers and my people have brought me many treasures over the millennia. If you can pass my trial, I can give you some treasures."

Boreas's words instantly broadened the scope of the discussion. Except for Su Bai, everyone present started breathing heavily, especially Paimon. Her eyes were now filled with the symbol of Mora. A thousand years of accumulation—how much Mora must that be? If they won, she and Ying might never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.

"How about it, want to give it a try?"

Having not fought humans for a long time, Boreas became somewhat interested after sensing Diluc and Yura's strength. The potential of these two little ones should be no less than that of Falgar. With proper guidance, their future achievements would certainly not be low.

"Alright, then I'll trouble Senior Wang Lang."

A rare hint of excitement appeared on Diluc's face. Boreas glanced at Diluc and slammed him down next to the greatsword with a claw.

"Your trial is to draw this sword. By the way, the name of this sword is Wolf's End. You should have heard of it."

Ignoring the disheveled Diluc, Boreas turned his gaze back to Yura. He could teach this little one who could control ice elements, since he could also use ice elements, so he had a good initial impression of Yura who could control ice elements.

Gu Ju

"Since Senior Wang Lang has said so, I'll give it a try too."

Yura slowly walked towards Boreas, holding the sacrificial greatsword. Paimon looked at Yura and then at Luminous. She tugged at Luminous's hand and said worriedly.

"Ying, you'd better not go. We'll just watch."

"Hey, little Paimon, don't you want those particularly valuable things that King Wolf has in his collection?"

"Uh, no, no, Ying's safety is more important. Paimon thinks that big wolf is really powerful."

Paimon didn't listen to Su Bai's urging. She could tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal every day. If something happened to Ying, she would be the one who went hungry.

Unaware of the truth, Ying was deeply moved. She hadn't expected her emergency food supplies to have some conscience. She decided that when she got back, she would throw away the stewing spice packet she bought from Sarah under the bed.

Amber's young heart has been hurt multiple times today, and she is not ready to accept the trial at all. She still cannot accept the fact that the wolf king in the story actually exists.

Meanwhile, in Liyue Harbor, Zhongli carried the Rota Dragon King on his shoulder as they walked down the street. The Rota Dragon King was wriggling restlessly on Zhongli's shoulder.

"Zhongli, you bastard, let me go! Why does your candied hawthorn have eight fruits on it while mine only has seven?!"

"I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced! I want to have a serious talk with that candied hawthorn seller!"

Inside Liyue Harbor, many pedestrians stopped to observe Zhongli. No one would have imagined that Zhongli, a cultured and refined man, would be carrying a little girl on his back while walking down the street. For a time, discussions arose one after another.

"Auntie, do you think the little girl Mr. Zhongli is carrying is his daughter? I was even thinking of introducing him to someone."

“His second aunt, I think they look alike. Look how similar their clothes are. And I’ve seen Mr. Zhongli carrying this little girl on the street many times.”

"Yes, yes, Aunt Zhang is right. That child looks just like Zhongli. What a pity. I was thinking of introducing Mr. Zhongli to the girls as my trump card."

Several professional matchmakers were filled with regret, bowing their heads and stamping their feet. If they had known that Mr. Zhongli already had a child, they should have introduced the young girl to him sooner. After all, Mr. Zhongli's generosity was well-known throughout Liyue Harbor. If the matchmaking had gone well, the benefits would have been immense.

"Alright, Ruoduo, stop arguing. Can't I just give you my candied hawthorn?"

Zhongli's head was throbbing from Ruo Tuo Longwang's nagging. He said that Hu Tao couldn't be allowed to teach Ruo Tuo. He didn't know what was wrong with A Ping. After taking care of Ruo Tuo for two days, she came to him to complain bitterly. No matter what he said, she didn't want to teach Ruo Tuo anymore.

"That's even more unacceptable. You, as my brother, have been wronged. I must seek justice."

"Only I can scam you. If anyone else tries to scam you, that's just provoking me."

When Zhongli heard Ruo Tuo's first sentence, he was somewhat moved and silently thought that all these years of brotherhood had not been in vain. When he heard the second half of the sentence, Zhongli only thought about finding a private school to enroll Ruo Tuo in. He didn't care how much Mora it cost; his main goal was to give Ruo Tuo a complete childhood.
