The Homeless Man of Teyvat

Time always flies very fast, and before you know it, it’s already half of the night.

Ying Xiaoxiao yawned, said good night to Chen Tianfeng, rubbed her eyes, got into the tent, and lay down next to Paimeng. The sleeping little mascot seemed to have noticed something, and unconsciously leaned into Ying's fragrant and soft arms, hugging her tightly. From the looks of it, he knew that she would fall asleep with sweet dreams tonight.

Chen Tianfeng added two pieces of firewood, glanced at the tent with the curtain door closed, hesitated for a moment, stood up and walked towards the river. After a while, he returned to the campfire, holding a bug about two knuckles long in his hand.

He found a stone, stretched out his left index finger, and pressed the struggling insect on the stone. He held the dagger in his right hand, took a breath, and the blade passed through the gap specially left in the arm armor, and made a slash on his left wrist!

Blood spilled out and stained the blade.

Chen Tianfeng held the dagger upright and stared at the blood falling from the tip and hitting the insect again.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

The insect was safe and sound, its struggle undiminished.

Chen Tianfeng pursed his lips and casually wiped away the blood on the dagger. No longer imposing any restrictions, he made another cut on his healed left wrist and dripped blood on the struggling insect again.

The effect this time was immediate. The healthy and energetic bugs disappeared in an instant. The blood fell quietly onto the stone, and the stone also quietly changed, and a faint sense of death permeated the air.

——It’s as if the stone was “killed” by blood.

Chen Tianfeng's face twitched, and he carefully dealt with the bugs, stones, and remaining blood stains, then sat back down by the campfire and sighed, with a rather complicated expression.

The good news: He can finally control the toxicity in his blood and doesn't have to worry about irreparable damage caused by inadvertently spilled blood.

The bad news: His blood is becoming more "toxic", and the more "non-toxic" blood there is, the more "toxic" the remaining blood becomes.

I don't know if there is a bug, but I deliberately release some non-toxic blood every once in a while, doubling the toxicity of the blood in my body... There is no clue from instinct.

Chen Tianfeng thought about it and decided that it would be better not to take the risk. If he finally releases the terrifying poison even when he takes a breath, he may be treated like the Dragon King Ruotuo or Osel.

Ruotuo Dragon King, an ancient dragon with a long life like a mountain, is a creature created by the crystallization of elements, carrying the power and memories of the earth.

During the Demon God War, Morax discovered the stone dragon buried deep underground. He was deeply aware of the pain of the ancient rock elemental creature being unable to see, so he brought it back to the surface and put a finishing touch on it.

This is the origin of the Ruotuo Dragon King. It stands side by side with the emperor, follows behind him, fights with the emperor, achieves great fame, and makes numerous military exploits.

Unfortunately, things did not go as expected. After the war, Ruotuo Dragon King lost his mind due to [wear and tear] and fell into madness. He was finally subdued by the emperor and sealed under the Fulong tree at Nantianmen.

As for Osel, he was the [Demon of the Whirlpool] who attacked Liyue Port during the Demon War. He was defeated by Emperor Yan and sealed under Guyun.

——It is said that Guyun Pavilion was transformed by the huge rock spear dropped by the Rock King during the war.

"Eh…"

Chen Tianfeng sighed, and actually somewhat understood what he guessed Zhongli and Wendy would do. If such a terrifying poison appeared in his home, his first thought would be to send this plague god away as soon as possible, right?

No, if it can be killed without leaving any hidden dangers, it is naturally better to kill it... So the two of them are still merciful... Or will there be a big poisonous outbreak after my death?

So what am I now? Humanoid self-propelled nuclear bomb?

Chen Tianfeng grinned, stopped thinking about this, and began to experiment with the next instinctive skill.

He raised his right index finger, and the gray-white [Qi] appeared. Then he pointed at a stone next to him, and the gray-white light beam flew out silently and quickly, hitting the stone at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye.

Completely silently, the stone turned gray-white in the blink of an eye, and then turned into a pile of broken sand. Even the small piece of withered grass next to the stone was instantly shattered and fell into a silent death.

Chen Tianfeng looked at his index finger, and then at the astonishing results. For the first time, he didn't feel that the instinct that kept shouting about hunger was noisy, and even felt a little pleasant.

It's good to be hungry, just eat when you're hungry. Isn't it just energy? It's easy to handle. Not to mention other things, there are seven [Wuxian] alone in the Teyvat continent!

Oh shit! I eat eat eat eat! ! Eat the whole damn thing! ! !

Chen Tianfeng grinned. Whether it was an illusion or not, there seemed to be a grey-white ferocious hungry beast behind him, its greedy eyes scanning everything that could be devoured.

…

Mondstadt, the wind rises from the ground.

It is said to be the place where Vanessa, the symbol of Mondstadt's hero and [Lion's Fang Knight], ascended to Sky Island - under a huge oak tree.

The best bard in the world gently plucked the strings, and the soft sound of the piano spread into the wind, making the night gentle.

Suddenly, the flowing wind stopped for a moment, and the sound of the piano also stopped at this time.

Wendy put away the harp and looked at the blond figure who suddenly appeared, with a surprised and smiling tone: "Oh, long time no see, my friend. Why did you suddenly think of coming to see me? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"Barbatos..."

The elder brother of the twins, now the prince of the Abyss Order, Kong, with a cold face, seemed to want to punch the bard in front of him in the face: "You are still so shameless!"

"Where do you begin with this, my friend?"

Wendy's jewel-like eyes were full of innocence: "Did I secretly do something to make you angry? If you are dissatisfied, you can tell me directly and I will change it, okay?"

"..."

Kong took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and looked at Wendy: "I will give up the plan, stop playing with Tevarin's ideas, and let him leave my sister."

"Tevarin? My poor family member has just woken up. Did it offend you? Oh, don't worry, I will warn it and not let it cause trouble for you." Wendy's expression was sincere.

"I will return your Seven Heavens statue and choose other gods' statues to complete the plan."

"It's just a statue of the Seven Heavenly Gods. If you like it, I can give you two more. You're welcome, my friend."

"...I promise you that the Abyss Order will not carry out any plans harmful to Mondstadt in Mondstadt from now on."

"My friend, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Barbatos!!"

"I am here, my friend."

"Don't go too far!" Kong said angrily: "What on earth are you going to do before you agree to let that terrifying monster leave my sister?"

"You are angry, my friend. Because the existence of Xiao Tianfeng threatens the safety of your sister, because you feel that your family has been calculated..."

Wendy shook her head and looked at Sora with calm eyes: "But, my friend. When you decided to attack Tevalin, did you consider that it is also my family?"

“…”

Sora fell silent, had he considered it?

Of course, he not only considered it, but also struggled, but in order to fight against the laws of nature, he had to control all the forces he could control and do his best without allowing any relaxation.

Admittedly, this approach was sorry for his former friends, but he had no choice.

"I..." He opened his mouth and finally sighed: "Sorry, Wendy."
