Jiang Xiaofeng casually watched the fervent shouts of the common people below, and with a wave of his hand, Anna came to his side.
Anna squeezed slightly closer to Jiang Xiaofeng and whispered, "Have these guys been brainwashed by you? How can they be so crazy?"
Jiang Xiaofeng shrugged.
"Who knows, maybe it's sarcasm?"
"It doesn't matter, this isn't the kingdom it used to be."
No one can truly defy me.
Anna nodded and leaned against Jiang Xiaofeng's chest.
"You've been gone for so long. The Collector even came looking for you, saying there was progress in the fusion of the Void creatures and the androids, but you weren't there..."
" Yima and Nuoma went to Liyue to play. I heard from the Spider Woman that Ningguang from Liyue invited them over."
"Hey, wait a minute, don't get angry. That's not what I meant. I'm just visiting. After all, Mondstadt has a new king, and merchants aren't very reliable. Besides, Yima and Nuoma were the Spider Woman who issued the documents..."
"You don't need to worry about the two of them. I sent two Speed Demon to protect them, and Nuoma's armor is always with her. There's nothing to fear."
Jiang Xiaofeng listened to Anna's murmurs in his arms, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
"Everything's fine. Has anything else major happened?"
Anna shook her head.
"You've only been gone for six months, what major thing could have happened?"
"Oh, the special androids created by Albedo and the Collector went mad and fled into the snowy mountains, so let's count that."
"Um..."
Jiang Xiaofeng stroked his chin.
"Tell the guards who are searching to keep an eye on their comrades. If they notice anything amiss, notify me."
"They probably can't handle that kind of thing."
Before leaving, Jiang Xiaofeng gave the Collector many good things: a Void creature, a crystal containing the White Lady, a large number of amulets, the Radiance slime, and the physical body of the Godseeker.
With this huge collection of items, the Collector has been researching the creation of androids, but Jiang Xiaofeng doesn't know the specifics of how it's progressed...
Jiang Xiaofeng had his arm around Anna.
"Hehe, I won't be hunting in other worlds for a while. I'll stay in Teyvat and keep you guys company."
Anna nodded and nestled in Jiang Xiaofeng's arms.
Looking at the civilians below, Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't help but wonder if he was the one who had gathered them here...
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore."
Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand, and several black star-shaped coins appeared in everyone's hands.
"This thing can revive on the spot, without having to return to the seats in the square."
Yes, seats.
Using seats as a respawn point makes perfect sense, right?
Long live the King!
Jiang Xiaofeng ignored the cheers of the common people and left with Anna.
Ying also had three resurrection coins in her hand.
"What is this? I don't think I've ever seen it before..."
Ying frowned, deep in thought.
"Wait, I forgot why I came here!"
Ying was jolted awake, her mind reeling from the frenzy of those around her, making her forget her original purpose for coming.
Ying came here to meet the new king of Mondstadt and ask him if he knew the whereabouts of the strange the King.
"Okay, we'll just have to wait until next time."
Ying left the square in frustration.
She casually put the resurrection coin into her pocket.
Where did Jiang Xiaofeng go?
After Jiang Xiaofeng escorted Anna back to the Void Church and settled her in, he arrived at the Angel's Share.
Venti was completely drunk and slumped over the table.
He was still shouting, "Another cup!"
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head, grabbed Venti by the back of the neck, and teleported her to Starsnatch Cliff.
"Puff!"
Endora appeared and spat out a large clump of bubbles.
"Uh, who?"
Venti snapped back to reality and nervously looked around.
"Oh, it's you."
Venti breathed a sigh of relief and lay down directly on the soft grass.
Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand, creating a throne, and sat down. "The grass isn't prickly."
Venti: "..."
Venti jumped up immediately. "You have something to sit on, so make some room for me!"
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Xiaofeng conjured a chair behind Venti.
Venti sat down comfortably.
"Phew, that feels much better..."
Jiang Xiaofeng stroked his chin, observing Venti's languid state, deep in thought.
How about trying Venti?
Ugh, never mind.
I already have a female Venti as part of my collection.
Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand, and a figure that looked about 70-80% like Venti appeared in front of Venti.
"!"
Venti grabbed the armrest of the chair and stared intently at the figure.
As the Void Power dissipated, the figure staggered.
"My lord, please save Mondstadt!"
The figure knelt down as soon as it saw Jiang Xiaofeng.
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
Venti: "..."
Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand. " Venti, keep an eye on your friend."
"Or show him Mondstadt as it is now."
"Don't bother me."
As he spoke, Jiang Xiaofeng pulled out another female Venti.
"?"
Venti had just helped her friend up when she saw a girl who looked almost exactly like her and her friend...?
Venti, or rather, let's just call her Wendy.
The moment Wendy saw Venti, she sensed the connection between the wind spirits.
Venti possesses the authority of the Anemo Archon, while Wendy herself was strengthened by Jiang Xiaofeng injecting a large amount of Void Power into her.
Therefore, the exchange of glances between the two was evenly matched.
Jiang Xiaofeng kicked Venti: "Why are you glaring at her? The person you're supporting is her friend. I'm too lazy to resurrect someone from your timeline."
Venti: "This timeline?"
Wendy: "My friend?"
Nameless Friend: "Where am I?"
"..."
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Xiaofeng summoned Raiden Makoto, Raiden Ei, Morax, Decarabian.
"This is my timeline. Come out and see the world today."
"After all, I completely destroyed your timeline."
The twin Electro Archon vanished without a word.
Morax nodded to Jiang Xiaofeng, then turned and left.
Decarabian looked at Venti and said, "You're actually the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt...?"
"Get out of here!"
Jiang Xiaofeng kicked him. "What the hell are you dawdling for? If you don't want to go for a walk, just say so, or I'll lock you up!"
As expected, Decarabian also left immediately.
In the end, only Venti, Wendy, and their Nameless Friend remained.
" Wendy, you said you would swear allegiance to me, right?"
"Do you choose to follow me, or be wiped out along with your friends?!"
Make your choice!
Jiang Xiaofeng instinctively tossed out a cane.
Wendy slowly picked up the cane.
Hahahaha!
"Then there's only one answer!"
Wendy's face showed signs of distress.
"I pledge my allegiance to you!"
The Nameless Friend was shocked and quickly grabbed Wendy's shoulder. " Venti, don't do this for me!"
Wendy shook her head. "You can only survive if I pledge allegiance to him."
Jiang Xiaofeng watched the interaction between the two, stroking his chin.
Did I say I was going to kill you?
