"Hey! Knight of Honor, you're awake?"

Barbara stood beside the hospital bed, examining Ying's injuries.

Ying rubbed the back of her head and sat up. Although she had recovered from her injuries with Senzu Beans, the feeling of taking an elbow strike was really unpleasant.

"Wendy, is he alright?!"

“Just now, a beautiful older sister fed you two beans, and your injuries miraculously healed by more than half. The poet woke up first. I originally wanted him to recuperate in the church for a while, but he said, ‘This kind of treatment cannot heal my injuries.’ Then he left the church.”

"Where did he go?"

"The symbol of Mondstadt's heroes," that's what he said. I wanted to stop him, but Jean... Master Jean said, "Let him go." How strange...

Although Li fed Wendy a Senzu Bean every day, the effect was not very good.

Dvalin's numerous injuries were completely healed after eating the Senzu Beans. Why couldn't Wendy be healed after eating them?

Could it be because Senzu Beans can't heal souls, and when Wendy's heart was ripped out by the Black Tiger, the Lady took the Heart of God from his soul?

Or is it that Venti didn't eat the Senzu Bean in his original form, as a wind sprite, which is why he can't fully recover?

Or perhaps it's a product of the Dragon Ball world, and its effects would be less pronounced in other worlds?

Li Tiantian didn't have to think for long before the system gave her a reply.

"All of these factors are involved. The reason Dvalin was able to recover so well is because Wendy gave it the power of the Anemo Familiar, which, combined with the effects of the Negative Status Purifier and Senzu Bean, prevented the poison blood from affecting Dvalin and leaving any aftereffects."

After Ying set off for the place where the wind begins, Li Tiantian transformed back into Huiyuan's appearance.

"The Dvalin matter is resolved. It's time to return to Liyue. Let's go to the inn to find Sun Wu and the others first."

......

Strange... why is the door locked?

Huiyuan knocked on the door, but there was no response, so she simply kicked the door open.

Upon entering the room, they found two people on the floor; the two were Sun Wu and Chen Ping'an.

Huiyuan hurriedly went up to check his breathing.

"Thank goodness, I'm still alive."

After giving the two the magic beans, Huiyuan examined the scene and found a piece of paper under Sun Wu's body.

The note read: "Alina is with me. Before sunset, bring the kittens to Dadaupa Valley and spare her life."

The handwriting was very messy, but at least you could still make out what it meant.

"Alina is...Lina's mother. Did the Doctor kidnap her? Has the worst thing still happened?"

Alina just mentioned, "The military court process is very complicated, and it takes at least a year for the punishment to be handed down. But if the interception of the goods displeases the executive officer, it might be dealt with earlier."

The former is more likely, because the doctor has many slices, and it's possible that because he doesn't have the same power as the original, he can't kill other high-ranking officials' subordinates without cause.

But this doctor was incredibly reckless. He completely disregarded military regulations and kidnapped Alina.

Huiyuan opened the cat breeding panel and checked Lina's family status panel.

"Sister Tongzi."

"Received. I've already instructed the maid robot to prepare the cats mentally."

Sun Wu then got up from the ground and shook his head.

"Uh... Mr. Huiyuan? Oh, right... Just now, the Fools barged in out of nowhere, saying they were looking for you. I told them you weren't here, and they knocked me and Chen Ping'an unconscious."

"I understand. Take Chen Ping'an to see a doctor, I'll handle it."

Without pausing for a moment, Huiyuan immediately used the Heart of the Wind God, transforming into a gust of wind and taking flight.

"Host, please do not underestimate the enemy; be careful of traps."

Huiyuan desperately wanted to call for help, but the Knights of Fatalis were probably too busy investigating the attack on Venti. Venti was injured, and Luminous was likely searching for the missing Paimon and Venti in the Windrise. As for Diluc... the sun was setting, and there wasn't time to look for him.

I'll have to face the doctor all by myself.

Taking a deep breath, and not caring about attracting attention, Hunyuan flew towards Dadaupa Valley at top speed. The speed was so fast that the sound of passenger planes flying overhead could be heard.

...

Inside a cave filled with experimental equipment, Alina's hands and feet were bound with ropes, and the evil eye she usually wore had been removed. The ropes binding her hands suspended Alina in the air, below which lay a liquid emitting poisonous gas.

The doctor's slice emitted a frenzied sound.

"Hahahahaha—!!! The Dawn General of Liyue... assisted the Anemo Archon in saving Stormterror, and can instantly change his form, yet he is merely a mortal. If only we could dissect him..."

The doctor has many slices of his body, which enable remote, mind-to-mind communication without geographical limitations.

The sounds of other doctors' slices echoed in the mind of this deranged doctor.

The old man's voice: "Your plan is full of loopholes. I really don't know where you get your confidence from."

A young and arrogant voice said, "Your talent is limited to this. You actually want to dissect such good experimental material."

The mad doctor was enraged by the dissection.

"Shut up, I'll prove to you that I'm the most talented one."

A boy's voice entered the mind of the mad doctor.

"He's emotionally unstable, his plans are poorly made, and he so easily violated the rules by kidnapping his own people. Let me tell you straight, you can't possibly lose to him."

There were even female voices coming from inside.

"Hmph, even the smallest slice among us is smarter than you."

The mad scientist ignored the voices, and the other slices stopped talking as well.

He glanced at his pocket watch and pressed a button on the control panel.

"They're just envious that I found good experimental material. No matter how strong this general is, he's still just a mortal."

After the mechanism was activated, the two people positioned at the cave entrance reacted.

But the two people's eyes were very unfocused, giving them an almost inhuman appearance. They seemed like manipulated robots, their movements somewhat stiff.

This mad scientist's slice, even though much dumber than the others, is still one of the scientist's slices. No matter how stupid he is, he wouldn't do anything without a chance of winning; he's just too reckless and impatient.

The sky had been dyed fiery red by the setting sun.

Huiyuan was even more anxious than the Doctor, constantly searching the sky for any trace of the Fools on the ground.

I activated combat assists beforehand and switched to Li Tiantian's skin. Using elemental vision to survey the ground, I finally spotted a purple area.

Upon landing, it created a large crater in the ground.

After quickly identifying the two gatekeepers dressed as Fools, they cautiously probed them following the system's prompts.

The two lifeless Fools, a man and a woman, had purple skin and many parts of their bodies had been modified into mechanical structures.

The two people were saying the same thing at the same time, a strange sound coming from a man and a woman, triggering the uncanny valley effect.

"Where is the person I want?"

It was obvious that the Doctor had used some means to control these two Fool soldiers.

Lina's father is a Winterborn with Mondstadt orc blood.

Lina's mother chose to obey orders over her child because she was a native of Winterfell. Her faith in the Queen outweighed her own life.
