Everything is stable in the Plane of Euthymia, but not in Mondstadt.
At Jiang Xiaofeng's behest, Spider Woman dispatched a large number of people to build her statue in the wild, just like on the island.
This is not an excessive request; after all, it's just building a statue, which doesn't take much effort.
Moreover, although Jiang Xiaofeng's method of acquiring Mondstadt City was not entirely honorable, the sparrows in Mondstadt City have fared much better.
The most obvious benefit is that passing caravans will no longer be robbed by Hilichurl or Treasure Hoarders.
Jiang Xiaofeng released a large number of monsters on the outskirts of Mondstadt and gave a strict order: all roaming monsters in the wild must be driven to uninhabited areas and not allowed to come out and disturb people.
Furthermore, you must not harm anyone.
To prevent the Treasure Hoarders from Treasure Hoarders, Jiang Xiaofeng specifically instructed intelligent monsters such as librarians or Dancer to keep an eye on them.
If you don't actively cause trouble, then neither of you will be bothered.
But if you provoke them, kill them on sight, without hesitation.
After all, human life is the least valuable thing.
Even those Hilichurl, if Jiang Xiaofeng is in a good mood one day, he might just turn them back into humans!
Treasure Hoarders... Ha, treasure-hunting? What treasure did you steal?
In short, while the people of Mondstadt didn't respect Jiang Xiaofeng as much as they did Venti, they also wouldn't rebel against Jiang Xiaofeng rule.
After all, Mondstadt was currently under the management of the Spider Woman, and Jiang Xiaofeng had sent monsters to guard Mondstadt at all times.
The lives of ordinary people were not affected, and some even made a living by possessing inferior versions of the Void Eye.
When the Spider Woman was looking for people to build the statue, some commoners came forward to volunteer, but Spider Woman rejected them all.
The monsters' hands, in some ways, were much more steady than those of the civilians.
The monsters covered a vast area, and the statues of the King quickly filled Mondstadt.
Mondstadt's life would have continued peacefully until...
"Your Majesty, there is something I need to report to you."
Jiang Xiaofeng was eating Tricolor Dango when he suddenly heard the Spider Woman contacting him.
"Something happened in Mondstadt?"
"It's a big deal, it's about you."
Jiang Xiaofeng finished the Tricolor Dango without making a sound, and under the pretext of buying dumplings, he left Plane of Euthymia.
Jiang Xiaofeng instantly arrived in Mondstadt, in Spider Woman's office.
Jiang Xiaofeng looked around; there were quite a few people.
Qin was the first to stand up. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand. "I don't do these formalities. Just give me a heads-up next time."
Qin: "..."
Others who were planning to follow suit. "..."
The Spider Woman coughed and handed Jiang Xiaofeng a document.
"Your Majesty, you should take a look at this yourself."
Jiang Xiaofeng took the document without a care, glanced at it, and then paused.
"He's a madman!"
"The king of Mondstadt is a tyrant!"
"We'll skin you alive!"
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
"What a courageous declaration."
"Have you found out who did it?"
Jiang Xiaofeng closed the file and placed it on the table.
Amber, who was standing nearby, quietly raised her hand. "Um... I might know who wrote one of them..."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "Is it a group of people causing trouble together?"
Amber nodded. "Lately, Timmie has been running back to town crying, saying his pigeons are always getting scared away or trampled to death..."
Jiang Xiaofeng raised his hand to stop Amber from speaking.
"I'll go check it out myself."
Jiang Xiaofeng arrived near the temple Mondstadt City.
"It looks like a statue from around here."
Jiang Xiaofeng walked to his own statue.
"No wonder people can come here to write bad things. The statues in Mondstadt City are watched, but the statues outside are left unattended..."
Jiang Xiaofeng pressed his hand on the ground, reading the memories of the Ley Line.
At the same time, time around them slowly rewinds.
Soon, the stone statue was restored to its original state, free of any negative inscriptions, and Jiang Xiaofeng also found the culprit behind the incident.
A bunch of silly kids.
He had thought someone was actually going to rebel against him and was trying to intimidate him here.
Jiang Xiaofeng quickly identified the children, along with their families.
Jiang Xiaofeng gently blew a breath, and those who were targeted instantly turned into ashes.
Some of them were playing or shopping on the street when people nearby saw them suddenly turn to ashes. They were terrified and were about to notify the Knights of Favonius.
However, these people were quickly calmed down.
As if unaware of who had just disappeared, they continued with their business.
The ashes vanished with the wind, leaving no trace.
"Done."
Jiang Xiaofeng returned to his office and said to Spider Woman, "If anything like this happens again, don't come to me. Just know that if they dare to write it, they should be prepared to die. You can't stop them from doing that."
The Spider Woman nodded.
Qin: "..."
She suddenly felt that it was best not to tell the Spider Woman about the King, because she would immediately inform Jiang Xiaofeng.
The original Vision holders among the Knights of Favonius were still with Jean, so Jean received the information a little faster than Spider Woman.
Qin felt that if something like this happened again, she would better stop it, otherwise Jiang Xiaofeng would find out and kill someone again...
Fortunately, everyone here has the Eye of the Void, and Noel and Amberissa are still with me...
Qin was trying to comfort herself when she saw Jiang Xiaofeng throw out a bunch of armor and weapons, and then take out an Void Eye and toss it to the Spider Woman.
"Find someone to test these things. You should know how to operate them, Spider Woman."
"These are all inside the Void Eye; you can use them as you see fit."
Jiang Xiaofeng glanced at Qin indifferently, then turned and disappeared.
The Spider Woman rose from her seat, brandishing a white longsword.
Qin didn't notice the glance Jiang Xiaofeng gave her, but Amber did.
Jean was looking at the sword in the Spider Woman's hand. "Isn't that the Teyvat Dull Blade?"
The Spider Woman looked at the sword in her hand and swung it forward once.
A burst of white light erupted from the sword's edge, slicing the object in front of it in two.
Qin: "!"
The Spider Woman picked up a bow and arrow again.
"This is from Teyvat... um..."
Qin dared not speak freely.
The Spider Woman opened the window and shot an arrow outside.
The arrow flew directly into the distance.
Qin initially thought the arrow was nothing special and breathed a sigh of relief, only to see the Spider Woman suddenly turn the arrow around and accelerate it!
"When!"
Ordinary arrows easily pierced through the Knights of Favonius' thick wall and embedded themselves directly in the swords and shields hanging on the wall.
Qin: "!!!"
"Let's go outside and do the experiment."
"Girls and boys, come out here."
Next, under Jean's questioning gaze, Noelle picked up the greatsword and swung it like a one-handed sword, cleaving the road in two.
Lisa just picked up a book to join in the fun, but as soon as she touched it, Lisa expression changed.
"This is the Electro!"
Lisa's eyes glowed purple, and the entire sky turned a deep purple.
This wasn't the kind of scene Lisa usually creates; it genuinely affected the sky.
The residents of Mondstadt City looked at the sky and whispered among themselves.
Qin wanted to stop Lisa immediately, but she overheard Lisa whispering to her.
"Should we take this opportunity to kill them?"
Qin the Big Eye in disbelief.
Because the "they" Lisa was referring to were Jiang Xiaofeng's people.
