Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

Anna left Mondstadt in a sickly state, but she herself piloted the Windwing, driving the gale to fly back to Mondstadt.

So when Anna's brother Anthony saw his sister who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, he was completely dumbfounded.

His sister, who used to be so sickly that he worried even a gust of wind could cause her illness, was cured after she went out for a while, and the illness that had baffled many doctors was cured.

Moreover, she received the blessing of the spring spirit and a God's Eye after the trip.

Is the world really this absurd now?

Is it too late for him to pray to the spring spirits now?

Anthony was completely dizzy. If it weren't for Anna's lively and energetic presence in front of him, he would have thought he was dreaming.

But regardless, this is a good thing.

So even though he was still a little dazed, Anthony quickly smiled. After excitedly gesturing for a while, he finally came to his senses and invited the three people who had taken Anna to Springvale to have a good meal together to express his gratitude.

So, after hearing Anna describe a series of delicious foods, Paimon was naturally tempted and immediately pulled Ying along to follow Anna. Su Feng, of course, had no intention of participating in such a gathering, and besides, he was more interested in causing trouble for Wendy.

Then Su Feng found Wendy chugging alcohol right next to Diluc.

This Mondstadt wind god maintained his carefree and indifferent demeanor as always, which was infuriating to look at.

Even Diluc thought this guy was really an eyesore, so he simply kicked him to the second floor.

He himself was down below drinking with Kaeya, Yura, and Rosalia—in fact, Diluc was more like keeping an eye on these drunkards to prevent them from drinking too much.

Of course, we'll also take this opportunity to mess with Kaeya to show his 'care' for his younger brother.

Su Feng paid little attention to the few drunkards downstairs. As soon as he arrived at the scene, he went straight for the biggest drunkard in all of Mondstadt.

"Just how much have you been hiding from me?"

Su Feng didn't think that worldly drinks could get Wendy drunk, so he immediately started questioning Wendy, who looked dizzy from drinking too much, with an unfriendly expression.

To increase his persuasiveness, Su Feng even summoned a gust of wind to surround the two of them.

If Wendy's answer satisfies Su Feng, then this wind will at most serve as a barrier to prevent others from eavesdropping on their conversation. But if Wendy's answer does not satisfy him...

Wendy knew from Su Feng's unfriendly expression that it was definitely not going to be a good outcome.

"Wow! Don't be angry!!!"

"If you want to know something, just ask!"

"I will definitely answer you properly."

Startled by Su Feng's menacing appearance, Wendy hurriedly offered to confess, but begged Su Feng not to lay a hand on her.

"So you're admitting that you deliberately sent me along to witness this?"

Wendy's cowardice came faster than anyone imagined, leaving Su Feng, who had prepared a dozen ways to deal with it, almost unable to react in time.

Fortunately, although it was a bit of a headache, Su Feng still planned to figure out his own problem first before slowly dealing with this guy.

"Hey!"

However, when faced with the first question Su Feng asked, Wendy simply showed an expression that wanted to brush it off. Upon seeing the guy's fawning expression, Su Feng felt his blood rush to his head.

I knew it was my fault for thinking this guy would honestly answer the questions.

"bass!"

"Snapped!"

Faced with this guy who showed no remorse and even dared to defy the odds, Su Feng didn't hesitate to restrain him. He summoned a gentle breeze, which transformed into a wind whip in his hand, and then lashed it out in the air with a piercing sound.

Furthermore, while issuing the threat, Su Feng somehow pulled out a recording camera, set it up beside him, and aimed it precisely at Wendy, whose face had clearly turned pale.

"Mondstadt's most revered Aeolus, I think you should perhaps consider your current situation. You wouldn't want your embarrassing photos to be circulated all over Teyvat, would you?"

"Others might not care too much about a photo of a lowly bard being taught a lesson, but I think the Geo Archon of Liyue would definitely pay a high price to get a unique copy from me, right?"

"At least for Zhongli Keqing, this is definitely a photo worth collecting and appreciating, isn't it?"

Su Feng's words were utterly threatening, and Wendy was completely stunned after seeing this.

"Okay, okay, I'll answer your questions seriously and I won't try to fool you anymore."

Under Su Feng's undisguised threats, even Wendy could only sit obediently and wait for interrogation—after all, Su Feng could really do what he threatened.

Although she didn't care too much about her reputation, Wendy really didn't want to be whipped for nothing and have her picture taken.

Moreover, if the old man really knew about this, he would probably laugh at him for thousands of years.

"It comes down to the first question: did you deliberately send me to contact Anna?"

Although Su Feng already had a definite answer to this question, he still asked it again.

"Yes, I've found that perhaps because you're not bound by the rule of 'lovers' and have a complete sense of self from birth, you actually have a rather indifferent attitude towards everything in the outside world."

"Actually, when I first met you, I really thought about solving all the problems once and for all, but I soon realized that this idea was unrealistic - even when I first met you, I didn't have that ability."

Wendy readily admitted to the matter, even directly acknowledging that she had considered eliminating Su Feng from the very beginning, but unfortunately, she realized at that time that she simply couldn't do it, and that it might even bring a complete disaster to the entire Teyvat.

That's why when Venti first met Su Feng, she chose to share her power with him as the foundation for his continued existence in Teyvat, both to appease and to monitor him.

Wendy now acknowledges all of these ideas without missing a single one, and Su Feng doesn't find anything wrong with it—he knew about these little things from the beginning, back when everyone was basically out in the open and everyone knew what everyone was planning.

The problem Wendy mentioned still exists even for Su Feng now.

His connection with Teyvat is still weak. Su Feng certainly won't actively destroy Teyvat now, but if this world were to collapse like this, how many regrets would it leave in Su Feng's heart?

This is a question that even Su Feng himself probably doesn't know the answer to.

"But now it seems you've changed your mind? If you want me to be more integrated into this world, there's no need for Anna to gain the Eye of God in front of me."

Venti's desire to integrate into Teyvat—or at least not to be like the Abyss, directly shoveling the last shovelful of dirt onto an already crumbling Teyvat—is no secret. Even Zhongli, who met Su Feng after bringing him to Liyue, quite agreed with this.

Su Feng was aware of this as well, but he didn't care much about the thoughts of the two gods, either at the beginning or now.

Whether he can develop a deeper relationship with Teyvat is entirely up to him. Whether it's Wendy or Zhongli, they can only show him the side that is more likely to benefit Teyvat.

In the end, only he himself can make the decision, and only he can make it.

But now Wendy seems to have a different idea. Obtaining the Eye of God and even the 'blessing' of the Water Sprite are not exactly good things. Isn't Wendy afraid of angering Su Feng and causing him to turn the entire Sky Isle upside down?

and many more!

Could this guy be...?

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Su Feng looked at Wendy and suddenly thought of another question.

However, he temporarily suppressed his doubts and decided to ask the question last.

By the time……

Chapter 63 Wendy: It's over, this time I'm really going to get hung up and whipped.

"So, the second question is—to what extent have the humans of Teyvat been exploited?"

Su Feng quickly steered the conversation in another direction. In fact, at first, Su Feng didn't care much about the plight of the mortals in Teyvat.

After all, Teyvat itself is already a world that's practically buried up to the eyebrows. If the world is going to end, you can imagine how terrible it must be for the mortals living in it. Moreover, the mortals of Teyvat don't seem to be going through the apocalypse right now.

But after experiencing two large-scale disasters in Mondstadt and Liyue, and witnessing firsthand the pure desires and consciousness displayed by mortals, even the originally cold and desolate wind gradually began to change.

If Su Feng had been born just moments before, he wouldn't have made any move when Lotia bestowed her 'blessing' upon Anna.

At that time, he was merely curious about the skills displayed by the Pure Water Fairy.

But now Su Feng would choose to take action to ascertain Anna's condition, and might even choose to suspend the blessing of the pure water to ensure that Anna's 'love' would not be taken away by the pure water at some point in the future.

This in itself indicates that Su Feng has already undergone a certain degree of change, and at least so far, Su Feng has not shown any resistance to this change.

"Gods harvest faith, the Eye of God steals wishes, ley lines take away souls and memories, pure water strips away true love..."

"In my opinion, all of humanity has been exploited to the point of being worthless except for that cheap body. Such a distorted way of treating people makes me start to doubt whether the so-called 'lover' is a huge misunderstanding due to the difference in species between the two people."

To be honest, the way Sky Island was used by humans was indeed 'efficient'.

Just as Su Feng said, now everything except the cheap bodies of ordinary people, which can be mass-produced with a little skill, has been fully utilized.

Even the Herrschers, who are 'tools for the destruction of civilizations', felt that this was going too far.

In particular, how can Sky Island still claim to be a 'lover' under such circumstances?

This logic is somewhat flawed.

"Cough cough!"

Wendy, who hadn't expected Su Feng to ask such a question, coughed violently.

When Wendy heard this question, he also had extremely complex emotions. This seemingly unreliable bard opened his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something but was speechless. He clenched his fists countless times but then let them open. In the end, he could only lower his head and truly express his unwillingness and helplessness.

Su Feng had never seen Wendy like this before; the inner struggle she was displaying made Su Feng frown.

He realized that his question seemed to have really hit Wendy where it hurt.

"That's a good question, but unfortunately I'm afraid I can't answer it directly."

In the end, Wendy still refused to answer the question directly. It was clear that even he was still bound by his own limitations. The question had obviously touched on some very important secrets of Teyvat, secrets that were so important that Wendy simply could not reveal them.

"All I can say is that we are all quite dissatisfied with this, but no one can come up with a better solution."

"It's easy to oppose everything that exists, but if after overthrowing everything we can't come up with a solution, what other outcome can we expect but to drag everyone into an endless abyss?"

"We can't expect all the other problems to just disappear after we overthrow the one on Sky Island, can we?"

Wendy's words were filled with bitterness. The logic of 'lovers' is a rule written into the deepest level of the existence of demons. Perhaps different demons have different understandings of this, but the existing seven gods have a real idea of ​​'lovers' that can be understood and accepted by mortals.

But it is precisely because of this that Wendy and Zhongli are willing to helplessly accept such cruel and uncompromising exploitation of mortals... Su Feng frowned as he figured out what was hidden in this situation. He realized that things might be much worse than he had imagined.

After all, the price that ordinary people pay for a mere few decades of unstable and stable life is absolutely disproportionate, and the implications behind it are truly profound and terrifying.

However, Su Feng did not dwell on this matter, because he believed that he would know all the secrets one day. As long as he stayed in Teyvat and continued to grow, many things would eventually be impossible to bypass him, and at that time, these secrets would no longer be secrets to him.

"So, one last question: do you want me to replace you as the Wind God? I have a feeling you just want to dump everything on me."

"Or do you simply want me to take the place of the one in the sky who can completely save the dying Teyvat?"

After figuring things out, Su Feng decisively shifted the topic to the last question he had just thought of.

"!!!"

Wendy, who had been looking serious, froze on the spot after hearing the question.
