"Okay."
Seeing that Su Han had said that, Qin's pretty face immediately turned red. Although they hadn't gone all the way yet, they had already hugged and slept together. How was their relationship any different from that of real lovers?
While Paimon and Ying were still away, the two finally embraced.
Qin nestled against Su Han's chest, listening to his strong, powerful heartbeat, and murmured, "Now I finally understand why women need a partner."
"Huh? What?"
"The feeling of being protected can really be addictive."
The two chatted sweet nothings, and the atmosphere grew increasingly pleasant. However, after only fifteen minutes, Qin got dressed and left because she didn't want anyone to discover their relationship.
Su Han stayed in the ward for the rest of the morning, during which many people came to visit him.
Around noon, the head of the hall came to bring him food.
"I heard from Shen He that your comic sold to Inazuma, is that true?"
Su Han raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and asked, "What, you're not planning to open a branch in Inazuma, are you?"
"So what? Inazuma is very close to us. I've been gathering a lot of information at the tavern lately. I heard there's a lot of war going on there. Wouldn't we make a fortune if we went?"
"I say, Master, you should calm down. You can go to any other country, but not Inazuma."
"why?"
Hu Tao was very puzzled, while Paimon and Yingmei next to her also cast curious glances. Although they had never been to other countries, they were travelers who would set foot there sooner or later, and knowing some information in advance would always be helpful.
Su Han put down his teacup and said earnestly, "Inazuma is currently in a closed-off state. The outer coast is protected by terrifying thunderstorms, while the interior is under the Eye Hunt Order. In addition, there is constant warfare. Even if you make money there, it will be swallowed up by those two powerful families."
"Oh? So Inazuma's environment is that bad? I wouldn't dare go there. But... are your manga okay there?"
"You don't need to worry about that. The thunderstorm barrier actually has loopholes, which is why the Hokuto can reach Inazuma. Besides, the comics are cheap and can relieve people's tension. I think they should be able to sell well."
Su Han strongly suspected that the Beidou route was provided by that scoundrel fox. Otherwise, with the country in a closed-off state and various shortages of supplies, Inazuma would have collapsed long ago!
Another point is that during the storyline, the island's coast turns a blind eye to Hokuto's ship, which is enough to prove that something is fishy.
Hearing this, Hu Tao fell into thought. After a long while, she looked up and said, "But I've still decided to find some time to go and take a look. At least it'll broaden my horizons. If all else fails, I'll just follow Sister Beidou wherever she goes."
It's difficult for a person to grow if they're always stuck in one place.
Before coming to Mondstadt, she never imagined that the local customs and culture would be like this. Moreover, she could boast about her battle with the Wind Dragon to Xingqiu and Chongyun in the future. No matter how she thought about it, she felt like she had made a great deal.
Seeing that Hu Tao wanted to go to Mondstadt, Paimon quickly said, "Why don't we wait and go together? Ying and I were also planning to go back there."
"Oh? Really? That's wonderful! But once you get to Liyue, you'll have to stay there for a while, since that's my home, hehe."
Upon hearing that she had a playmate, Hu Tao laughed even more heartily.
Paimon and Ying also thought it would be nice to have another companion, so they started discussing when to go to Inazuma.
In order not to disturb Su Han, they even went outside to discuss the matter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the group left, a figure appeared at the window. Shen He's eyes turned cold, and a long spear instantly appeared in her hand. Without thinking, she thrust it forward, but the other party easily dodged it.
Wendy jumped lightly out the window and said with great dissatisfaction, "Hey, is this how you treat your guests? I even brought a gift."
Upon hearing this, Shen He put away his spear and said coldly, "I'm sorry, I thought you were an enemy."
"Hehe, there's no need for that. Even if you try your best, you can't hurt me. Su Han, there's something I want to talk to you about."
"About Rosalyn?"
"clever."
Wendy placed the wine jar he was carrying on the table and then explained his purpose. It turned out that he had noticed yesterday that Rosalyn's rejection of him was not as severe as before, so he was wondering if they could resolve the issue peacefully.
"You know my power has never really recovered to its peak, so taking action would be very troublesome. So, can you give me an idea? Just something to keep the Fatui quiet for two years."
He has witnessed the changes in Mondstadt and believes that with two years, Mondstadt can definitely be built up to the point where it is fearless against the Fools. Moreover, Mondstadt is in dire need of rebuilding and he is willing to pay any price.
Su Han smirked, thinking to himself: You can only fool Rosalina with this, who else would believe you?
However, this matter should be over by now. Since Wendy has taken the initiative to show up, why not let him act as a peacemaker?
Su Han thought for a moment and said, "I have no problem helping you, but I have two conditions."

Chapter 118 The Witch Who Flickers Like a Candle in the Wind, Please Give Me Three Years (
(Second update)
Upon hearing that Su Han was willing to help, Wendy immediately said, "Tell me your conditions."
"First, you must help Mondstadt smooth out the road leading to Dadaupa Valley. Don't tell me you can't do it! If you want Mondstadt to rise, you have to build roads."
When Wendy heard Su Han ask him to do some work, he was filled with despair. He just wanted to slack off and had no desire to work at all.
Before the Wind God could even begin to bargain, Su Han said directly, "You already know about my relationship with Qin. I can't just watch my woman suffer. If you're not willing, then we can forget about it. At worst, I'll just take Qin to Liyue by force."
"Hey, hey, hey, that's going too far! I agree, okay?!"
Seeing that Su Han wanted to take the harp away, Wendy became furious. The city had finally produced a powerful heir. If he were taken away, Mondstadt would not only fail to rise to power, but might even be completely occupied by the Fatui in a few days.
At that time, forget about slacking off; you'll probably have to stay in the city every day.
Although Wendy was irresponsible, he didn't want to see the Fatui riding on the heads of the Mondstadt people, defecating and urinating on them, or even enslaving them.
Su Han nodded slightly and said, "Since you are willing to handle the first problem, let's talk about the second one. You have to hand over the Heart of God to me, and you can't interfere with how it's handled."
What do you need that for?
Wendy was very curious because he knew that Su Han would never want to inherit the godhood himself. If that were the case, he would be more than happy to hand it over to him now!
Su Han smiled upon hearing this and said, "If I said I would make a deal with Rosalin using this, would you believe me?"
"So that's how it is! So her purpose in coming here was for my Heart of God. No wonder she was inciting the people to seize power. Here, take the stuff. Now it's up to you! Don't let me down. Also, when do you plan to return to Liyue? Do you want me to send you back?"
After all, he picked the person up right under that old man's nose. If he didn't personally send him back, Venti was afraid he would get hit by a rock spear the first thing he did when he went to Liyue.
Watching Wendy toss the Heart of God to him like it was trash, Su Han was speechless. He even wondered if Wendy had planned this all along.
But since things had come to this, Su Han was too lazy to say anything more, so he replied, "Probably tomorrow or the day after. The development plans for Mondstadt are already complete. I'm a little worried about not being able to go back to Liyue for so long."
"Okay, then just call me when you leave. I have some other things to do today, so I'll be going now."
As she spoke, Wendy vanished in a wisp of breeze.
At this moment, Shen He said, "This person is very strong, but it seems that he has been hiding his strength all along."
"After all, she's the Wind God of Mondstadt, so it's normal for her to be strong. Alright, next we need to deal with Rosalind. Shen He, could you pass on a message for me? I'd like to meet her at the Frutwood Lake tonight."
"No problem. Do you need me to come along?"
"No need, I can go by myself. It's all the same – I'll use the jade bamboo flute anyway."
In fact, Su Han's injuries have recovered to about 80%, but he was too tired recently, so he pretended to be seriously injured. Otherwise, with the Star Shift technique, he would have been fine long ago.
under night.
Fruit Wine Lake is very quiet; apart from the occasional chirping of insects and croaking of frogs, there are no other sounds.
Su Han waited for a short while before he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Rosalyn seemed to have dressed up carefully today. Her originally golden curly hair was now perfectly straightened, and her black tulle dress had been replaced with a pure white long dress. If Su Han didn't know her, he would have thought she was a nun from a church.
Seeing Su Han captivated by her beauty, Rosalina smiled brightly, feeling that her efforts in dressing up had not been in vain.
How's this outfit?
"It's beautiful, but also very classic. Did you wear it before?"
"You're really clever. It wasn't for nothing that I rummaged through all the drawers to find this. By the way, you didn't just want to meet me, did you? Has the comic been updated?"
Rosalyn naturally didn't think Su Han would pursue her romantically. Although there was a hint of ambiguity between them, her heart remained as firm as stone, and she knew he was aware of it.
Su Han shook his head slightly and said, "I've come to discuss a business deal with you."
Rosalyn smiled upon hearing this: "Business? Are you short of money? I just gave you two hundred million Mora, isn't that enough?"
"No, I'm not referring to that business. I'm talking about the Fools."
"Fools?"
"Yes, I want the Fatui to evacuate Mondstadt and hand over the list of spies within the city!"
"What's the price?"
Rosalind's voice suddenly turned cold. Was he being too wishful thinking, trying to get the Fools to retreat? Did he think that just because he had softened his attitude towards Mondstadt, he would start to take advantage of her?
But the witch was quickly stunned, because the price Su Han offered was something she hadn't expected.
An object emitting a pale green light appeared between the two.
Rosalyn sensed the immense power hidden within and exclaimed in utter shock, "The Heart of the Wind God... Where did you get it from?"
She had been plotting in Mondstadt for so long just to get this thing, but she never expected that Su Han would actually deliver it to her.
It was like a dream.
Su Han smiled upon hearing this and said, "How about this price? Although I helped the Knights, I didn't forget to help you. With this, you can report back to the Empress. So, can you agree to my request?"
How did you know about our mission?
"I naturally have my own intelligence channels. Whether you suspect me of having ulterior motives or using you, I just don't want you to continue living in hatred. Let it go, Rosalyn."
"Let go? Ha, how easy is that? I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm already a candle in the wind. Even if I continue to live in hatred, I can't hold on for long. The suppression of the Evil Eye is gradually collapsing. Three years is the limit."
In the past, if someone had advised her to let go of her hatred, Rosalind's first reaction would have been to meddle and then kill the person. But when Su Han took out the Wind God's Heart, the witch was truly moved.
Although it's unclear how Su Han managed to do it, obtaining the Heart of God from a deity must have been no simple feat. Otherwise, why would she have gone to such lengths to seize power? It's all for this thing right in front of her.
Su Han's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she asked happily, "You agreed?"
"Well, I couldn't refuse the offer you made. I'll have someone send the list over when I get back. Consider this a favor I owe you."
Rosalind put away the Heart of God and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Su Han quickly said, "Please live well, and don't act impulsively, okay? Three years. Give me three years and I'll find a way to solve your health problems!"
"Ha, is a bad woman like me worth your desperate struggle?"
