Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Star Picking Cliff.

"Seeing Ying arrive," Diluc said.

"Now everyone is here."

Paimon looked around at the scenery and sighed.

"This place has such beautiful scenery."

Wendy said proudly, "Doesn't this fit the theme of 'A Fateful Reunion' perfectly? Well then, let's get started."

After Jean and Diluc finished their morale-boosting words, Venti said, "Alright, alright, everyone, spread out a bit. The finest bard in the world is about to begin strumming his lyre."

A familiar and ancient melody began to play, and the earth started to tremble. Dvalin leaped up from the cliff face. His massive body created a huge wind that almost made everyone lose their footing, but Wendy stood motionless in front of him.

Dvalin hovered steadily in the air and said to Wendy, "It's you. At this point... there's nothing more to talk about..."

"Really? Or must I be seeing things? Your eyes seem to be recalling this piece of music..."

Dvalin let out a dragon's roar, which only Wendy could understand.

Qin pondered for a moment and said, "They really can communicate."

While the others were distracted, an ice bullet was fired at the Sky Harp. Only Huiyuan, with her combat assist function activated, did not let her guard down at all.

Realizing she wasn't fast enough, Huiyuan switched to Litiantian's skin without hesitation, but it still wasn't enough to block the attack.

"Ah, Wendy!"

Paimon shouted worriedly, and then everyone rushed forward to protect Wendy behind them.

"As long as the Sky Harp wasn't hit, that's good," Huiyuan thought to herself, but when she looked back, the Sky Harp was still broken. An Abyss Mage appeared from behind Dvalin and began to bewitch him.

"Don't be fooled by him, poor dragon. He abandoned you long ago, hahahaha."

After taking the ice bullet head-on, Wendy was clearly in pain, and Huiyuan handed him a Senzu Bean.

Seeing everyone protecting Wendy behind them, the abyss mage sneered again.

"Look, now he's going to deceive you again."

Dvalin pondered for a moment and then uttered four words.

"Barbatos..."

The Abyss Mage uses the power of the Abyss to corrupt Dvalin's spirit.

"Hate! Be angry! You have become an enemy of Mondstadt, there is no turning back!"

Dvalin exuded the aura of a dragon and roared loudly.

"Barbatos...were these people...with you... here to hunt me down?!"

The enormous roar made it impossible for everyone to look up.

"That's not the case..."

Before Venti could even endure the excruciating pain and try to communicate with Dvalin again, the absence of the Sky Harp rendered Dvalin completely unable to hear what he was saying due to the corruption of the Abyss. The scene before him had also been altered; he now saw a group of people pointing swords at him.

"This dragon should go and serve its true master... Hahahaha, you can stay here and lament your powerlessness!"

Dvalin was controlled by the abyss mage and flew away.

Huiyuan desperately wanted to catch up. But Dvalin could fly, and the difference in their skill in manipulating wind elements, along with their speed, made it impossible for Huiyuan to get close to Dvalin.

Although Huiyuan really wanted to imitate the elemental combat skills of the skirmishers and fly using wind elemental power, how could such a skill be imitated so easily?

Wendy lowered her head with a worried look, gazing in the direction Dvalin had flown away.

After Wendy ate the Senzu Bean given to him by Hunyuan, his injuries were instantly healed.

Jean said worriedly, "Lord Wendy, please take good care of yourself."

Wendy replied with a smile.

"Haha... Actually, you didn't just guess that identity now, did you, Qin? Anyway, thank you for continuing to call me by that name."

Diluc's first concern was the Skyward Harp, and he asked Venti, "How is the Skyward Harp? Can it still be played?... Or, can it be repaired with Dragon's Tear?"

"Hmm... if it's this bad... there might not be any way to fix it."

Ying became worried about Tvalin's safety.

"Tvalin's situation is very dangerous..."

Diluc: "But first the culprits must be made to pay the price. If the source of corruption cannot be defeated, the suffering of Dvalin cannot be alleviated."

“Then, I will summon scout knights to track them down.”

Just as Jean was about to stop the reconnaissance mission, Diluc stopped her, saying, "No need. Not long ago, I personally killed one of its kind in the temple ruins guarded by the Four Winds. If you want to track down those monsters, you can use my intelligence network and methods."

Huiyuan forgot to deactivate Litiantian's form and accidentally uttered in a soft, sweet voice, "Then I'll leave it to Lord Diluc."

Paimon sighed.

"Lord Diluc...although he hates the Knights of Favonius, he will protect Mondstadt in his own way."

Diluc gave a haughty "Hmph," and said, "I want them to understand that no matter how lawless the Abyss Order may be, there are some things that cannot be done in Mondstadt."

Huiyuan was slightly angry and made a vow. However, her sweet, girlish voice made the statement sound a bit cutesy.

"How dare they bewitch Dvalin! I'll remember this grudge!"

Paimon feigned surprise, as if to say, "Huiyuan has this side to her?!"

Huiyuan looked completely bewildered.

"Paimon, why are you looking at me like that?"

Qin couldn't bear to look at it and turned her head away.

Ying put her hands on her hips and said, "Sure enough, Huiyuan looks even cuter like this."

Huiyuan looked at her own body.

Oh no, I forgot to switch forms! Did they think all those domineering words I said just now were just cutesy talk?

Wendy said, "Alright, alright, let's wait for Lord Diluc's news. We'll meet at Dawn Winery in two days."

Inside the Angel's Gift, Wendy and Huiyuan sat in a corner on the second floor.

"Waaah, Sister Tiantian, please let me have just one more drink~"

"No, and I'm no longer in Li Tiantian's form. Call me Huiyuan."

"Then, Brother Huiyuan~"

"How many cups of dandelion wine have you drunk? No matter how much you drink, it's impossible to drink dozens of cups without getting drunk, right?"

"Oh dear, I was just worried about Tvalin. Please let me have another drink~"

After storing the gourd containing the dandelion wine into her spatial storage, Huiyuan ruthlessly pushed away Wendy, who was reeking of alcohol.

"Get out of here, get out of here! I spent a long time making this thing, there's no way I'm giving you another one. Give up. Unless..."

"unless?"

Wendy's eyes lit up, and she almost pressed her face against Huiyuan's.

Pushing Wendy's face away, Huiyuan said, "Unless... you let me play with the Heart of God for a while."

Wendy said two words without hesitation.

"make a deal."

Huiyuan wanted to see the Heart of the Wind God because of a system requirement. Among the rewards for the previously released stage missions was a reward called "Heart of the Wind God (System-Made)," but the system had never seen the Heart of the Wind God before, so Huiyuan needed to take the Heart of the Wind God and analyze it before it could be created.

Wendy took out the Heart of God, and Huiyuan gave Wendy the gourd of wine.

Wendy was drinking gourds made with wind god wine one minute and gourds made with dandelion wine the next, and her eating habits were so bad that Huiyuan couldn't bear to watch.

"Is it really that sad? Dvalin isn't dead yet."

"Waaaaah, Dvalin doesn't want me anymore."

The system's voice announced: "Analysis of the Heart of the Wind God is complete."

After returning the Heart of God to Wendy, Huiyuan said helplessly to Wendy, "Don't worry, Dvalin will definitely return to normal."

"Swear! Swear in the name of the Emperor that you will help Dvalin return to normal."

Seeing Wendy's drunken outburst, he reluctantly made a vow.

"Alright, I swear, on the honor of the Rock King, I will help you restore Dvalin to normal."

After hearing Huiyuan's vow, Wendy felt relieved and fell asleep instantly.

"It's great to be young, just fall asleep."
