What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

"Let's go." Zhong Ling came out of her memories. She did not choose to turn into mist and fly away, but took a step forward.

Although flying past is fast, some things may be overlooked.

Zhong Ling must figure out some things, both for herself and for Tevarin and Mond.

----

"Wow...what a big tree..." The blonde girl sighed as she looked at the giant tree from afar.

"Hey, that's the 'Wind Rising Land', one of Mondstadt's most famous attractions~" A magical white-haired fairy floated beside the blonde girl. "Legend has it that this is the place where Vanessa of Mondstadt ascended to become a god."

"'The Wind Rises'?" The girl pinched her chin.

"Hey? Traveler, look, is there a person over there?" The little fairy set up a tent in his eye sockets with his hands.

"There is indeed someone." The girl nodded. She also saw it.

And with her eyesight, she can see even more clearly.

Although I couldn't see her face, I could see that she was a woman with frosty hair.

"Maybe they are here to visit as well. Let's go over there too." The little fairy said, pointing at the big tree.

"Yeah." The girl nodded slightly and walked towards the big tree.

The closer you get, the more you can feel a friendly atmosphere.

It's like the spring breeze gently caressing your cheek, making you unconsciously feel warm and relaxed.

"Eh? That person left?" The little fairy looked around but did not see the figure just now.

Although there was no intention to communicate with him, the little fairy was still a little curious because the person who was there just now suddenly disappeared.

"No, she's still here." The girl narrowed her eyes and looked up.

Sure enough, she saw the woman on the top of the huge oak tree.

I could only vaguely see it before, but now I see it when I look carefully.

The other person doesn’t look very old, probably about eighteen or nineteen years old.

At first glance, her clothes seemed very light and flowing, but upon closer inspection, one could see that they were made up of many layers of thin clothing.

"First meeting, love, single recommendation, marriage." Looking at Zhong Ling sitting on the treetop, the girl inexplicably thought of a world in which some people would say such things to virtual characters.

"Traveler, what rude words are you saying!" The fairy stomped the air with its little feet a few times, showing that it was angry or impatient.

"?!" The girl blinked blankly at the eager fairy. "Huh? I told you?!"

"..." Hearing the words of the blonde girl, Zhong Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, pushed herself up with her hands and floated in front of the girl.

"Ahaha...don't listen to her nonsense...she..." The little fairy waved her hands nervously and stood in front of Zhong Ling.

"She just hit her head! She's a little bit unconscious. Yes, that's it." In order to increase her credibility, the little fairy nodded seriously.

Although he didn't know who the other person was, the little fairy could feel that this woman was not so easy to mess with.

"Do you know me?" Zhong Ling was not angry. While sitting on the tree, she was observing the girl.

But what Zhong Ling didn't expect was that the first thing the girl said when she saw her was to propose to her.

This is really ridiculous.

"I don't know her." The girl shook her head, giving Zhong Ling a feeling of 'ah, this kid doesn't seem to be very smart'.

In fact, the girl knew very well that if it were an ordinary person, such an abrupt proposal would definitely be disliked.

But the girl is confident that she won’t. After all, who can resist such a lovely girl like us!

Besides, the other party is also a woman, so my "marriage declaration" will definitely be regarded as a joke by her, right?

If I do this, at most I will be seen as a fool who likes to joke but doesn't know how to judge the limits.

As for why we do this, it’s actually just to get closer to each other.

The girl could feel that this woman in front of her, who looked not very old, was definitely not a simple person.

And Paimon just said that 'Wind Rising Land' is the place where someone named Vanessa ascended to become a god.

Then for Mond, 'The Land Where the Wind Rises' must have some symbolic meaning.

The girl felt that, except for "outsiders" like herself, everyone on the continent of Teyvat should have more or less some understanding of the "Wind Rises Place".

As long as people know that 'Vanessa ascended to become a god here', it would be impossible for ordinary people to climb this big tree.

And she dared to sit on the treetop so casually, and she is not an ordinary person...

Combining the above reasons, the girl boldly guessed that she might have some connection with the [God of Wind].

"Speaking like this to a stranger... Is this the style of you 'outsiders'?"

A.5 This child is not very smart

"W...what?!" The girl widened her eyes, and panic appeared on her slightly immature face.

"You are not from Teyvat, are you?" Zhong Ling said with a smile. "No need to be so surprised."

"You have the breath of wind on you, but you don't have the 'Eye of God', and you can't be the [God of Wind]. If you are a creature created by elements, your strength is a little bit weaker."

"To sum up, if you are from Teyvat, then you can only be the Abyss."

"No, no, no, the traveler is not a member of the 'Abyss Cult'!" the fairy shouted loudly. "She can use the wind element because she touched the 'Seven Days Statue'!"

"..." In Zhong Lingxing's blue eyes, a vertical pupil shrank into a thin line.

The 'Seven Days Statue' naturally does not have the 'Eye of God' and the 'Heart of God', but the 'Seven Days Statue' does have elemental power.

That is through special means, guiding the elemental power of the earth veins into the 'Seven Days Statue'.

In fact, it is of little use. Its greatest use is to ensure that the "Seven Days Statue" will not be weathered or damaged by natural climate.

In other words, the elemental force inside the 'Seven Heavens Statue' is essentially the elemental force of the earth veins.

The only thing that can use the elemental power of the earth veins, besides elemental creations like Zhong Ling, is the [Abyss].

In today's Teyvat, there are only five beings that can utilize elemental forces.

One is the owner of the "Eye of God", that is, the [Genshin].

The second is the owner of the "Heart of God", that is, the [Seven Rulers of the Earthly Realm].

The third is the things created by elements, such as 'Wind Crystal Butterfly', 'Slime', 'Formless Element', 'Elemental Dragon', etc...

The fourth is the 'Demon'. Although the existence of the 'Demon' is similar to that of elemental creation, there are still some differences.

The fifth is the 'Abyss'. Only that group of guys can use the elemental power of the earth veins directly without going through the 'Eye of God'.

This little guy has the air of wind, but she's certainly no Barbatos.

As for the creatures created by elements... very few can transform into human form. If they can, then their strength must be extremely strong.

The strength of this girl... Although I haven't seen her power, but from the feeling... she is not very strong.

It does not have the 'Eye of God', nor is it an elemental creation in human form, nor is it the [Seven Rulers of the World].

Could it be that... this little guy is... the 'Abyss'?

The girl who was stared at by Zhong Ling blinked in confusion.

She could feel Zhong Ling's aura, but she did not feel Zhong Ling's murderous intent.

In other words, she was just scaring herself.

"Actually, I think..." The girl scratched her hair and smiled a bit silly. "The elemental power in the 'Seven Days Statue' is like a key, which is used to unlock the blocked power in my body, allowing me to use some of my previous power."

"The power that was sealed?" Zhong Ling saw that the girl did not respond to his aura, so he withdrew his aura. "You were sealed?"

"Well, no wonder... The power of someone who can cross the stars should not be so weak."

Zhong Ling was certain that she was an 'outsider', and if she wanted to travel through the world, the power required could not be so weak.

If it was sealed, then it would be easy to explain.

As for who sealed her, Zhong Ling had some rough guesses.

"Since you are an outsider, I will forgive your rudeness." In fact, Zhong Ling had no intention of pursuing the girl's rudeness.

For outsiders, what they just said might be the habit of expressing love in that world.

Although in Teyvat, proposing to a stranger as soon as you meet him/her is considered very rude.

But for outsiders, the meaning of meeting and proposing is probably to give compliments.

"However, you must also remember that in Teyvat, proposing to someone in person is very rude." Zhong Ling said with a little seriousness.

"Oh, I won't do it again next time. I've remembered it, hehe..." The girl scratched her cheek embarrassedly.

"Traveler..." Although he had spent a short time with the Traveler, Paimon still knew him roughly. This Traveler was not as stupid as he had just appeared.

Rather, if it is true as the girl said, she has crossed many worlds.

So, no matter how you think about it, such a person can't be simple, right?

"Well, my name is Ying." The girl seemed to be confused for a while, and finally found a topic.

"Ying?" Zhong Ling looked at Ying and nodded after a moment. "It's a very cute name. My name is Zhong Ling, which means 'Zhong Ling Yu Xiu'. I am from Liyue."

"Paimon's name is Paimon!" Seeing the two people start to introduce themselves, the little fairy Paimon quickly raised his hand to introduce himself to avoid being ignored by the two.

"Yeah, she is Paimon, the best reserve food." Ying nodded quickly.

"No!! Paimon is not a food reserve. Paimon is the best guide and best partner for travelers!" Paimon shouted angrily, stomping his feet.

But the way he stomps his feet...is really cute.

"He actually said that he is the best partner. Paimon must have a lot of collagen on his face, right?" Ying said jokingly with narrowed eyes.

"Hey!" Paimon, who was called shameless by Ying, shouted.

"You two have a really good relationship." Zhong Ling said with her hands in her sleeves. "Ying, since you are an 'outsider', why did you come to Mondstadt? To travel?"

"It's like this, the Traveler just woke up from the seal two months ago, and is looking for his lost relatives." Paimon directly revealed all of Ying's family background.

"Yes, that's right." Ying didn't feel anything was wrong at all, and nodded seriously to indicate that Paimon was right.

"...I really don't think he's that smart." Zhong Ling laughed in her heart. "Lost relatives...Do you have any special means to find him?"

Zhong Ling’s words made Ying look surprised, while Paimeng was a little dazed.

"Oh, right, if the traveler has a way to contact his brother, then I am useless, right?!" Paimon thought in panic.

"Oh, yes, there is a special method to find my brother's whereabouts... Well, no..." Ying's eyes suddenly lit up, her expression full of surprise, but then her eyes dimmed.

It was obvious that she had no way to contact her brother or find his whereabouts.

"So, are you planning to search among the seven countries like looking for a needle in a haystack?" Seeing Ying's suddenly lost expression, Zhong Ling understood.

"perhaps..."

"Is that so..."

Ying and Paimeng each finished explaining their plans.

"That's really a long way off." Zhong Ling shook her head.

After all, Teyvat is quite big, and it doesn't just have seven countries.

In addition to the continent, there are other places, such as underground, the Dark Sea, the Silent Sea, etc.

It would be too difficult if we just search aimlessly like this.

"So, we want to meet the Wind God of Mondstadt. If he is a god, he should be able to find a way, right?" Paimon explained the purpose of bringing Ying to Mondstadt.

"Well... indeed, if it is the power of the [Seven Rulers of the World], it can indeed search for targets in a large area." This is not a difficult task.

[Wind God] can communicate with the wind in Mondstadt.

[Geo God] can communicate with the land of Liyue.

By analogy, the [Seven Rulers of the World] can search for a target on a large scale in their own areas.

After all, the Seven Earthly Rulers have the responsibility of supervision in addition to management.

"However, Mondstadt's Wind God Barbatos has not appeared for a thousand years. After all, Mondstadt is a free country." Zhong Ling smiled and gave Paimon and Ying a heavy blow.

"what?!"
