Although he didn't know what the name meant, it didn't stop him from thinking about it.

Lei Ze knew that he was not smart, but ever since then he had been confused and unable to understand.

Am I a wolf or a human...?

From his reflection in the river, it could be seen that he looked nothing like his family members.

They can't stand on two feet like me, nor can they use their iron claws and fangs, and they have warm and thick fur on their bodies.

Although life with them was wonderful, he sometimes felt very uncomfortable and thought that he had to figure out this problem...

He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the breeze blowing across his face. They brought the scent of prey and had their own emotions. Lei Ze could accurately sense what they wanted to convey.

This breeze brought the sweet fragrance of ripening flowers and grasses, which he would pick regularly and store away.

If a family member is injured, chew the grass and apply it to the wound, and the wolf will slowly heal.

He cherishes his family very much, and although he is still young, he already understands what death is...

It was a cold and dead silence that took away all heat and made it impossible to swallow even the food in front of you.

Raize hated that feeling.

Just like the smell of sadness that comes with the wind...

Wait, he tilted his head in surprise and looked at the clear sky above his head. Perhaps most people could not perceive the shadow passing through the sky, but he saw it clearly.

That was a "human" like him.

However, humans cannot fly, Lei Ze is well aware of this. Even if he climbs up a very tall tree and flaps his arms like the small flying and singing creatures in the sky, he cannot fly.

But the girl flying in the sky, with a sweet smell on her body, had the scent of a late-life wolf.

He could smell it...

Is she injured?

Lei Ze didn't smell any blood, so it wasn't an external injury, but rather an "illness"?

He stood up and went into the woods to look for his treasure. From the outside, it was a wooden box so rough that it would prick your hands if you opened it.

But Lei Ze treasures it very much. As long as he covers it with something and hides it, he won't find that his things are missing when he comes back.

Lei Ze put all the important things in here, such as the picked flowers and plants, iron claws, and... the fallen teeth of his family members.

He quickly searched for herbs that could cure the disease, then started running again, following the scent.

During this process, his family members also followed him, and the wolves have been with him since he was a child.

However, this feeling is not only about caring, but also about some kind of restraint on freedom.

The wolf pack would not go to unfamiliar territory without permission, let alone leave the Wolf Territory, but that girl... needed his help.

But she is not my friend, should I still step forward even so?

Lei Ze was in hesitation.

And the other side.

Starting from the Dawn Winery and walking towards the top of the map, you need to pass through the Wolf Territory to reach Mingguan Gorge.

There was a whole wine lake and a large beach over there, and the scenery was pretty good. The only place that could replace it was the one next to the Whispering Forest.

But it was too far away, almost requiring a flight over the entire city of Mondstadt.

In order to avoid adding unnecessary workload to the knights defending the city, she chose this side.

Crossing this distance can be regarded as her longest journey so far. If she were to walk on her own two legs, she would probably break her legs.

Youya was thinking to herself amusement, but she did not forget to chat with Sister Eula, otherwise the flight would have been quite boring.

After the initial novelty, you will soon get bored of the unchanging scenery, so when passing through the Wolf Territory just now, Youya deliberately lowered her altitude.

Curiously observing this area covered with dense woods, I saw not only many wild animals, but also wolves that I had seen in movies and TV shows before.

Their howling almost gave Youya goosebumps.

It must be said that although from an aesthetic point of view, she likes the "cool" appearance of wolves, and has compared herself to being as confident as a wolf, but close contact with wild wolves...

Let’s just forget it!

She increased her flight altitude, and her cute, flustered look was seen by Eula.

"Is Youya afraid of wolves?"

"...I'm not afraid of them. If I can keep a safe distance, I still admire them. But if I get too close, I'll feel insecure..."

Especially since this pair of useless legs would definitely make her fail in her escape, she absolutely did not want to be approached by the wolf!

I have seen this before on the animal channel, and the bloody scenes of how wolves hunt are still vivid in my mind.

"That really can't be helped... But don't worry, I will protect Yuya!"

Eula is not really afraid of wolves, or to some extent, because hunting wild wolves was one of her previous assignments.

The big forest where Lawrence used to live was not only populated by wild boars, there were also predators like wolves. Even now, you can occasionally see them on the outskirts.

These creatures are very cunning and will choose the right time to sneak into the base. For example, a chicken farm that failed to breed successfully was emptied by them.

It can be said that this is the type of enemy that requires caution.

"Sister Eula really never lets go of her love for expression."

Youya answered her in a slightly teasing tone.

"Hmm... am I saying this deliberately?!"

Eula suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"But you only do this in front of me, right? Hehe, it does make me feel a lot more at ease when I have my sister protecting me... ah, here we are!"

Youya controlled the broom to lower its altitude and passed through the sea. The wind pressure airflow at the tail end pushed the water away, leaving a straight line. The girls' hanging feet were able to touch the lake surface.

Although Youya was still unaware of this, she felt a sense of joy and relaxation from her heart.

Free and unrestrained, flying in the wind, the Fruit Wine Lake that they had talked about many times in the past touched them in this way, making both girls squint their eyes, feeling the comfort of being connected with the heaven and earth.

Just like a bird flying freely in the sky and the sea, the atmosphere brings a soft touch, and the breeze blowing across your face brings a refreshing feeling to your skin, eliminating the summer heat.

This feeling never gets boring no matter how many times it happens.

Then the broom rose straight up, shoulder to shoulder with the flowing clouds. The girls could see the vast ocean very clearly. The calm lake surface reflected the blue sky like a mirror, and the waves were sparkling.

They kept flying and roaming until their bodies were filled with the scent of the wind, and the golden sunlight covered the girls with a soft veil.

What finally appeared before them was the pure white sand beach with all the filth washed away by the waves.

Chapter 87: Conch, Beach, Listening

Dusk, on the beach.

Youya was wearing a light white breathable dress, the hem of her skirt was blown up by the breeze, and the outline of her body underneath was vaguely visible through the afterglow of the evening, and her exposed shoulders were as smooth and white as milk.

The wavy hair was gently blown by the wind, and it seemed that even the tips of the hair were stained with a hint of warm color at this moment, and the delicate and lovely face had a peaceful smile.

The exposed smooth calves have soft curves, the arches of the feet are graceful and attractive, the toes are delicate and clean, and the nails are like petals of light cherry blossoms, stained with a little white sand.

She looked at her sister Eula, who was standing on the beach in front of her, letting the sea water wash over her ankles, and bending down to pick up a white shell.

Those eyes that always looked sharp and valiant now lost all their guard, leaving only lively joy.

She showed her harvest to Youya and smiled generously.

"Youya, look! This shell is very beautiful! Do you want to take it home and make it into a wall hanging?"

"Ah, in that case, I'll have to find one for Amber as well. I wonder if there are any more conches on this beach?"

Youya, who was skilled in dealing with her sister, answered softly, with a hint of doting in her eyes.

This made Youla feel a little embarrassed and annoyed, but she didn't want to nag her, so she just turned around and went to find the conch for her.

But she did not expect a huge wave to hit her calves. Her defenseless body trembled due to the strong force of the wave and she almost screamed.

However, the cute panic expression on his face as he waved his hands to try to keep his balance was completely seen by Youya.

This made Youya look at Youla with a more "loving" gaze, making her so shy that she wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it like a crab.

(Although Sister Eula does have a very mature side, she still has a childish side in some casual occasions...)

As she thought so, she turned her head slightly and looked at the purple and red area that looked like a burning flame.

"It's so beautiful... I wish I had a drawing board to draw it on."

Youya once studied painting for a while. Although she was not as good as any professional art school students, she was still quite good.

However, after he became seriously ill, he never held a pen again, and now he is probably only able to write at a mediocre level.

"——Yuya!"

Not far away, Sister Eula called her name, then ran towards her, holding high a white and blue conch in her hand.

The shell is so perfectly shaped that one can't help but look inside to see if there are any "residents" who haven't left yet.

"Oh, I found it after all. Sister Eula is amazing!"

She praised Sister Eula, then shamelessly reached out for it, and the other party handed it to her without hesitation.

Then he sat down next to her, shoulder to shoulder. The thin clothes could not prevent the transfer of body temperature. It could even be said that the warmth was more obvious because of sitting here and feeling the sea breeze.

The two of them enjoyed the warmth together and also brewed each other's emotions. They had already prepared a speech in their minds, but when the moment really arrived, they didn't know where to start.

Finally, it was Eula who spoke first—

"Youya, I have something to ask you..."

"Hmm? Are you asking me who I like the most? It must be Sister Eula!"

The girl's deliberately elongated nasal tone sounded doting and playful, making Eula want to pounce on her and tickle her, so that the younger sister could recognize her "status" instead of teasing her older sister like this.

It's just that this heart-pounding feeling of being acknowledged as someone's favorite...

Sure enough, I still feel secretly happy.

But if I let Youya fool me at this time, there will never be such a good opportunity next time.

Therefore, Eula pretended to be embarrassed and glared at her sister, but within two seconds, she lost her temper.

"...Really? Stop teasing me all the time."

She really couldn't pretend in front of her overly weak and adorable sister.

"I just think Sister Eula is so cute when she's shy, so I couldn't help but want to take a closer look!"

She was still so frank in expressing her feelings.

To be honest, Eula envied her very much, and was also happy that her sister was able to come out of the gloom of the past.

But... no matter what, they probably can't avoid that topic.

When I thought of that incident, the smile on my face gradually faded, and was replaced by a bitter feeling.

Noticing the change in her expression, her sister stopped acting funny and looked towards the bright red sun in the distance, which was about to completely sink beneath the sparkling sea, taking away the last of the afterglow.

Youya asked in a voice as thin as a mosquito's.

"Sister Eula, you want to ask me about my legs, right?"

"Um……"

As expected, my thoughts were guessed.

Eula stared at her sister's profile with some difficulty, she still couldn't see any changes and her expression was as gentle as ever.

In fact, after escaping from Lawrenceburg, Eula had always wanted to ask about this matter. She didn't believe a word of what Wes said about recovery.

But her sister's healthy appearance afterwards made her believe that perhaps the girl named Barbara had indeed cured her sister's stubborn illness with the miracle called the Eye of God.

If the cure can be sustained, or if it really doesn't work, then we can leave Mondstadt and look for treatment in other countries. We must not give up this possibility.

She wanted to believe this...

But after these two flying experiences, she deeply understood one thing.

If even the Eye of God cannot restore Youya's health, then my sister's legs may never be able to stand up on their own again.

The miracle that God's Eye bestows upon mankind is to help them escape from despair and usher in a reversal in their life path, rather than the power to cure all diseases.
