Chapter 510
"It's Wendy!"
The God of Wind puffed out its cheeks unhappily, just like a grumpy little squirrel.
Qin wiped away her sweat and smiled helplessly.
"Wendy, do you have any advice for me?"
"Yes! It looks better if you stick your butt out a little higher, just like that Keqing from Hengxing of Jade. I heard she has a very famous 'Butt-Slanting Sword Technique'!"
"Keqing uses the Cloud-Recruiting Sword Style, not some kind of 'Fart-Slanting Sword'... Pfft!"
Qin recalled a sparring match she had with Keqing before Ke Qing left. To be fair, there was indeed a certain stance where she shifted and gathered strength, her buttocks quite angled.
After laughing, Qin quickly composed herself. As the acting head of the delegation, it was truly inappropriate to laugh at foreign friends behind their backs. She said seriously:
"Lady Wendy, please watch your words. This is very impolite."
"You were the one laughing, I wasn't."
"Uh... please keep this a secret."
"Tsk tsk tsk! I'll have to think carefully about what conditions I should ask you for."
The God of Wind smiled, raised an eyebrow, and darted his eyes around, speaking in a mischievous tone.
Qin chuckled, a mix of amusement and exasperation. Without realizing it, she had lost the reverence she once felt for Wendy when facing a deity. Respect remained in her heart, but often, she had unconsciously come to see Wendy as a lively, clingy, and adorable friend.
"Lady Wendy, Big Sister, dinner's ready!"
"Dinner's ready!"
Two little heads peeked out from the doorway. One was Barbara, and the other was Anqi, whom Wendy had carried over like a doll last night.
The two sisters also welcomed the child who was suspected of being abducted by the God of Wind.
To be precise, Anqi seemed to get along well with everyone, even the Demon God, the Dragon, and the God of Wind.
The only two exceptions are Kaeya and Rosaliya.
According to Anqi's original words, which circulated within the Knights:
"Because it smells familiar, it's best to stay away from it if you don't have to."
Most of the Knights nodded silently upon hearing this. To be fair, both of them did give the impression that their backgrounds weren't exactly clean.
Rosaliya turned and left indifferently upon hearing this. She just habitually carried extra lollipops with her, and would casually offer Anqi a couple if they occasionally met.
Upon hearing this, Kaeya simply smiled—and then, with a mischievous grin, he would approach Anqi, pat her head with a smile, and present her with a small cake, all while the girl stared at him with her expressionless, dead-fish eyes.
From this perspective, Anqi does get along well with everyone, even these two.
"You guys are so slow! Wendy is a goddess, so I won't say anything about her. But you're human, Master Jean. If you don't eat well, you'll get stomach problems sooner or later, don't you understand?"
The white mascot, who came over early in the morning to freeload a meal, stood with its hands on its hips, displaying an arrogant demeanor befitting a host or elder.
"That's right!"
The Blond Traveler, also trying to freeload, nodded vigorously. "Boss An isn't even enthusiastic about breakfast; he clearly has something wrong with his head."
Qin smiled good-naturedly.
"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
She sat down and looked around, then suddenly paused, stunned.
What a lively scene!
I don't know when it started, but the memories of casually eating some bread or not eating at all have gradually become blurred.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, thank you Barbara and Anqi for breakfast."
"I'm glad my sister and Wendy like it. Oh, and Paimon and the Traveler too, I hope you like it."
Barbara flashed a smile sweeter than a candy flower.
The priestess always treated everyone equally. She was kind to everyone except for blasphemers who disrespected the God of Wind, such as a certain perpetually erring bard.
Breakfast was a lively affair.
Ying is usually aloof and taciturn with strangers, giving off an unapproachable vibe. However, once she gets to know them, especially in front of her cute female friends, she becomes arrogant and loves to show off.
"That day, dark clouds loomed, and an evil aura enveloped the area. The Abyss Order's massive army attacked! I wielded a sword and spear in one hand, and with lightning speed, I slaughtered my way from Wolvendom to the Wind Dragon's Nest without even blinking! Impressive, right?"
Wow! Ying, you're amazing! But aren't your eyes dry?
"Paimon, I said I kill without blinking an eye, and you ask me if my eyes are dry?"
"But it's a long way from King of Wolves's place to Dvalin's house. If it doesn't blink for a moment, it'll definitely dry out, right?"
Paimon forgot that he was the person involved and pressed for answers.
Ying ignored the mindless emergency food and continued to solemnly recount her experiences of outwitting and defeating the Abyss Order, even portraying the Dragon of the East Wind and the God of Wind as supporting characters.
"Ying is amazing!"
Wendy's eyes lit up as she listened, and she kept clapping, which greatly satisfied Ying's vanity.
Barbara was amused and laughed frequently.
Qin smiled and shook her head, treating the chattering like a side dish, enjoying it immensely. Suddenly, she remembered something and said:
"Lady Wendy, the Fatui' diplomatic ambassador [La Signora] has awakened. Would you like to..."
Jean scratched her face, looking helplessly at Wendy. It wasn't that she was demanding anything of her own god; even if the Fatui had made contributions, they didn't have that right. It was just that, as the acting leader, she still had to convey the Fatui's request.
Ying also looked at Wendy with curiosity.
To be fair, they had been comrades-in-arms before. Besides, it was her own brother who knocked Rosalyn unconscious, so Ying was still very concerned about Rosalyn's fate.
Wendy clapped her hands and said:
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
"Then I will go and proclaim the divine oracle to the Fatui, and tell them to prepare for an audience."
"No need for that. I'll just go see her after I finish eating."
Wendy really doesn't care.
All she wants is Barbatos's Heart of God. It's not in her hands anyway, so why should she care?
So, after Wendy finished breakfast, she touched the priest's rosy cheeks and then vanished like the wind.
