Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

This is Emerald Light, not Lord Barbatos.

This is Emerald Light, not Lord Barbatos.

Barbara kept reminding herself that this way she could be more 'disrespectful' when looking at the painting, without it being considered disrespectful to the gods.

Then, the painting of 'Wendy' drunk, wearing white stockings and barefoot was painted by Abedo into a portrait of Emerald Light and displayed at the festival for people to admire.

This is disrespectful to the gods! Sister Xifeng must be fainting. This painting hasn't even been put up in the church yet, why is it being put up in Inazuma first?!

Wendy said, "It's really good. It not only has a very Inazuma style, but it also fits modern aesthetics. Especially the me on the canvas, even when I'm asleep, I look very elegant."

Sisters of the West Wind: Lord Barbatos is truly magnanimous; even when he is fast asleep, he remains so elegant!

Wendy was quite satisfied, but the average reader didn't see where the 'charming' aspect came from.

Isn't he completely drunk? He's drooling, where's his elegance?

Or is there another interpretation of the word 'debonair' that we are unaware of?

Almighty Rock King, please tell us about this dashing man!

It's incredibly embarrassing to be drunk, slumped over a table, drooling – someone with a bit of self-respect would find it unacceptable.

But Wendy didn't care; he had no idol image to maintain. This wasn't because he wasn't using his own body, but because the other person had given him alcohol.

If you still have complaints after you've already drunk the wine, then you're being very inconsiderate. How can you continue to change wines in the future?

Between image and wine, wine is clearly more important.

However, this is Wendy's idea in the story, which is slightly different from the real Wendy.

The difference in opinion stems from an information gap. In the story, not many people know that Wendy is the Wind Goddess, but in reality, everyone knows because of Lin Qiu.

So Wendy wasn't very satisfied. It wasn't that he felt ashamed of the painting; he was unhappy that everyone saw that he was drunk.

I'm the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, how could I drink too much? How am I supposed to brag to my drinking buddies after this?

Chapter 781 The Old Man of Aoi

Paimon: "Hey, busker, don't get too cocky. You're just a model; the person in the painting isn't you."

Wendy nodded. Yes, it was Cuiguang who was drunk, not me. I wasn't drunk.

What? He was passed out drunk in the warehouse earlier? That was all part of the plan!

Paimon and Wendy were bickering. Abedo wasn't dwelling on the painting; he was already thinking about his next one—who should he use as a model?

Wendy offered a small suggestion on this issue.

Wendy said, "Abedo, how about we wait a bit before painting this? You might see something similar later."

Wendy spoke with great certainty, as if he knew something. Was it the wind that told him more? Or could he also foresee the future?

This has raised questions among readers, who are recalling Wendy's past actions, especially her words on the island. Could Wendy be a prophet as well?

Is this what Mondstadt people mean by 'being at the mercy of the wind'?

The Mondstadt people couldn't help but smile at their gods' behavior; this was the happiest episode they'd seen since reading the prophecy book recently.

People from other countries suddenly realized that the 'wind' really does guide people; they had thought the wind only carried the smell of alcohol and that the 'warm breeze would make tourists drunk'.

Wendy's words are clearly noteworthy, and Paimon in the story also pays attention to what Wendy says.

However, her concern wasn't about how Wendy knew, but rather what "something similar" meant.

[Abedo explained: "It should refer to other slips of paper with the story of the Five Song Immortals written on them. Because the records say that there are a total of four stories of the Five Song Immortals, but only one has appeared so far."]

So that's how it is. There are five Heavenly Kings and four Song Immortals. That makes sense.

It seems there won't be a traveler's mold. There are five people, and you are not one of them.

No, it's not the Traveler, but 'Kurosu'. There's no record of Kurosu in the Five Immortals' stories.

This, in turn, aroused Aberdo's intense curiosity about the Black Lord.

Wendy said, "I'm actually curious about some of the things you're interested in too. But there's an old saying in Mondstadt: 'The wind brings the seeds of stories, and time makes them sprout.'"

"Now, let's wait patiently together."

In the illustration, Wendy playfully winks, which is Lin Qiu adding some drama for Wendy.

But the readers didn't find it strange at all; it was exactly the kind of expression Wendy would make.

Not only was it not strange, but it also made the Mondstadt nuns so happy that they couldn't bear to turn the page.

The others turned the page, and it was now the next day. According to the reception schedule that Ayato had given to the travelers, the next fleet to arrive should be from Liyue.

Xingqiu was on this ship. After disembarking, he sat on a wooden crate and fell asleep. He looked very tired and sleepy.

Seeing that Xingqiu had indeed arrived made it clear that the opportunity for Wendy and Xingqiu to meet in the previous New Year's story must have been this time.

I knew Xingqiu would come, but I didn't expect Wendy to come too. His appearance was a bit unexpected.

No, it doesn't seem that unexpected. It doesn't feel strange to see him anywhere. The last time we had this feeling was with the Fools and the Treasure Thieves.

Returning to the story, Xingqiu in the book is much more organized. Knowing that he needs to get an invitation before going to the island, he searches in his bag but finds only a piece of paper.

Five Songs of Fairy Appearance - The Old Man of Sunflower

In youth, he wore a black crown and stood in the imperial court; in old age, he dwelt in the shadows of pines and the dim moonlight.

(He served as an official in the imperial court when he was young, and now he watches the moon alone in his old age.)

The act of disobedience was not of their own volition; their lives were threatened, and they were truly coerced.

(It's not that I wanted to do bad things, I was just forced into it)

Hasty steps in search of old works, frantically hiding tattered manuscripts in my bosom.

(I secretly searched for a poem I wrote before, keeping it hidden in my heart.)

The reason for this is unknown, only because the secret guest is eccentric.

(I don't know why he did that; that person was pretty strange.)

I still remember this poem, recalling the red people; thus I know how painful it is to be adrift in sorrow.

(I only remember that this poem was about the Red People, ah~ Red People, where are you, ah~ Red People)

Following Wendy, Xingqiu also found a poem like this in his bag, which sparked a lot of thoughts among everyone.

First of all, I'm wondering, who on earth is so powerful? It's one thing for Wendy to be drunk, but Xingqiu was asleep and came with someone else, didn't anyone see that?

Who could possibly meet the criteria to be around these two and do something underhanded?

The person who was present both times... seems to be a traveler; she was there each time.

It's fortunate that the book is written from the traveler's perspective, knowing that even the traveler himself was confused, otherwise people would have started to doubt the traveler.

Secondly, seeing this, I realized that 'Aoi no Okina' was probably modeled after Yukiaki.

Readers are complaining: Doesn't this feel like an official decision? The question is, who decided this?

Finally, there's one more thing: this poem seems to have exposed the person who stole the book, hasn't it? Isn't it Kui Zhi Weng?

Since the old man of Aoi is Xingqiu, doesn't that mean the person who stole the book is Xingqiu? The detective game ends here.

But this doesn't make sense. Why would he steal his own book? And didn't he just arrive today? How could he steal a book?

The poem describes how the old man who stole the sunflower also stole his own work, so it seems plausible that Xingqiu stole his own book, since someone threatened him with their life.

The problem is, how is Xingqiu, who only arrived today, going to steal the book?

Everyone recalled Aberdo's reasoning and analysis: there was more than one culprit!

Readers can stop reading and analyze at their own pace, so they came up with all sorts of possibilities in a short period of time.

But the traveler and Paimon in the story didn't have much time to think about these things. Xingqiu asked them if they had found similar notes before.

The two answered Xingqiu's question naturally:

"That's right, this is part of the same series as the stories we got before, even the handwriting is exactly the same!"

They didn't notice Xingqiu's question, but this sentence caught Xingqiu's attention. What story did they get from the "incident" they encountered before?

Paimon panicked. The editor-in-chief of Yaedo had told them not to tell Mr. Zhenyu about the lost book, for fear of upsetting him.

In order to keep it from Xingqiu, Paimon started to use her clever little brain.

Paimon said, "It's in the port's warehouse... warehouse... warehouse... 'Tibetan Poetry Competition'!"

In the illustration, the traveler's mouth gapes into a huge "O" when he hears Paimon's words, big enough to fit a Sunset Fruit inside.

The implication was clearly: Couldn't you at least come up with something more plausible?

Paimon added further details: "We have a friend who's painting portraits of the Five Song Fairies for the Rongcai Festival on an island, but the stories of the Five Song Fairies are hidden in all sorts of places!"

"As long as you can find these stories and give them to him, there's a chance you could be a model for one of his paintings!"

Upon hearing Paimon's words, Xingqiu immediately grasped the key point.

Paimon and the Traveler felt their lies were about to be exposed, and so did the readers.

This is Xingqiu, the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. How could he be so easily fooled?

Chapter 782 Is Xingqiu a prisoner?

Let alone the traveler in the story, even Yingmei in real life was a little nervous.

There's no way around it; the book is written primarily from her perspective, so the sense of immersion is incredibly strong.

[Xingqiu: "Wait, what you just said..."]

In the illustration, Xingqiu frowns, clearly having discovered something.

The second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, who was not easily deceived, was completely fooled. He never thought that the traveler would lie to him, so his focus was not on whether Paimon was lying.

Xingqiu said, "...Could it be that I'll get to see Teacher Bai'e?"

Xingqiu did discover a blind spot, but it seemed to be different from what everyone had expected.

Perhaps Teacher Bai'e is more important to Xing Qiulai.

Xingqiu, who is your favorite? I like Teacher Bai'er more than books!

Xingqiu and Bai'e have been working together for some time, but they have never actually met in person. They are more like online friends. Now that they have the opportunity to meet in person, Xingqiu naturally takes it very seriously.

His attendance at the Rongcai Festival was largely due to the fact that Professor Shirokawa would be attending.

Xingqiu continued, "To be honest, this book I wrote went unnoticed in Liyue, but it's quite popular in Inazuma, partly thanks to the exquisite illustrations by Teacher Bai'e."

Some people from Liyue have read Xingqiu's book, but to be honest, they can't understand it.

Lin Qiu could understand it; it was science fiction, which was indeed a bit ahead of its time in Teyvat.

Xingqiu was still praising how amazing Abedo was, complimenting him for being able to draw even his wildly imaginative ideas.

Many of Aberdo's ideas even coincided with his own.

No communication is needed; just by looking at the story, Professor Abedo can perfectly replicate the author's inner thoughts. It's too perfect.

This is why Lin Qiu insisted on collaborating with Abedo; as long as you give him the story, he will perfectly recreate it for you.

It's even better at chatting with GPT than DeepSeek; the perfect tool.

Abedo felt honored by Xingqiu's repeated enthusiasm and praise in the book.

In reality, Abedo didn't show any extra expression; he simply returned Xingqiu's glance.

He also held up a sign with an emoji drawn by Lin Qiu for him. It was a chibi version of Abedo smiling and holding a flower, and it was called 'Giving Flowers'.

Xingqiu didn't notice; he was still reading, thanks to his good reading habits.

Aberdo changed his name to a different one. The picture on it was still a chibi version of himself, but his eyes had become dead fish eyes and his mouth was gone, making him look helpless. The name on the sign was 'Cold'.

Xingqiu still didn't see it, but Lin Qiu next to him helped reply with an emoji, a Q version emoji based on Xingqiu, showing Xingqiu sitting on a slime reading a book.

Lin Qiu previously drew some emojis for Abedo in the book, and everyone loved them.

After that, the task of drawing illustrations was handed over to Abedo, and Lin Qiu began to seriously create emojis for everyone.
