The Homeless Man of Teyvat

Chen Tianfeng returned the boat and led Ying and Paimon towards the only hotel on the island.

The island in the middle of the lake is not big, and there are only a few buildings. Apart from the statue of the Seven Heavenly Gods in the center, the most eye-catching ones are the attic for viewing the lake and the hotel for travelers to rest.

It was mid-afternoon, the sun was shining lazily on the island, and the spring-colored willow branches were swaying in the wind, making people feel a little tired.

Chen Tianfeng glanced at the tourists in groups of three and three, and after a brief silence, he had a deeper understanding of the freedom of the Mondlanders - during the dragon disaster, people came to Xingluo Lake to play.

This is just like a fisherman who insists on fishing in heavy rain, but I don’t know if the former is the same as the latter. He only has one fixed day of fishing time every month...it’s so pitiful.

Chen Tianfeng shook his head and recovered his thoughts: "Stop here for a day, and when there are fewer people at night, we will go to the statue."

"Well, it's up to you."

Ying nodded, then hesitated: "Tian Feng, what you said... well, you can get the power to guide the elements by touching the statue, is it true?"

"Of course, I generally don't lie... I generally don't lie to my friends." Chen Tianfeng paused, his expression as usual.

"...It always feels even less believable."

Ying sighed, but did not object. Give it a try, it will be great if you succeed, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t, it’s just one more trip.

"Paimon also feels suspicious." The little mascot floated beside Ying. "I have never heard that you can gain elemental power by touching the statue. Tianfeng, it is wrong to lie to people."

"You don't understand the things about travelers from another world. It's normal that you haven't heard of them."

Chen Tianfeng casually said something perfunctory, stopped, looked at the viewing loft, and raised his chin slightly: "Would you like to sit up there and drink a pot of tea? The view on the top floor is very good, and you can also ask the waiter to order dishes in the restaurant and bring them to you. Of course, this If you grow somewhere, don’t expect too much about the taste of the food.”

Hmm, I don’t know if there is anything like [Xingluo Lake Vinegar Fish] here.

Ying raised her head and glanced at the pastoral-style attic, thought for a while, and said: "Forget it, drinking tea in a place like this must be very expensive, right?"

"Why are you so frugal? It's quite easy to make money in Teyvat."

Chen Tianfeng pointed to the two-story building adjacent to the restaurant in the distance and said, "Did you see that there? In the wilds of Teyvat continent, there are always various projection monsters, so there are many adventurers on the road. Many times, these adventurers may not have much Mora on them, and some of them are produced by ley lines.”

"So, in many places, this kind of [acquisition house] will be opened to provide services specifically for adventurers, allowing them to exchange part of their leyline output for mola. Of course, the price will be slightly lower than the market price."

Chen Tianfeng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If we sell the earth vein products we harvested along the way, we can live a prosperous life on the island for a month and a half, don't worry."

"Then we can't replace everything. If we replace more, we will be grateful." Ying warned: "It will be enough for our expenses on the island."

"I know, I know, wait for me, I'll be back soon."

Chen Tianfeng responded, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, turned around and walked towards the acquisition house. He came out after a while and walked towards the viewing loft with Ying and Paimon.

A waiter in front of the attic door raised his eyes to look at the three of them, his eyes lit up, he came forward with a smile on his face, and bowed slightly: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Chen Tianfeng?"

"…I am."

Chen Tianfeng was stunned for a moment, and something bad suddenly arose in his heart.

"As expected, it's Mr. Chen." The waiter's smile became even brighter. "Your friend has booked a private room for you on the top floor. Would you like to go over now?"

"Wow~ Tianfeng, you also have friends here." Paimon couldn't help but marvel, "You even booked a private room, you are such a generous friend!"

Yingye cast a surprised look, then froze for a moment, noticing that something seemed wrong with Chen Tianfeng's expression.

Instead of the expected joy of meeting old friends, there was a subtle feeling of disgust that was too complicated to describe.

"This friend you are talking about, is he wearing green?"

The corners of Chen Tianfeng's eyes twitched and he asked, "You look young, but you still call yourself a bard?"

"Yes, it's the same as you described." The waiter nodded at first, then realized something was wrong and carefully asked: "Mr. Chen, aren't you friends?"

"No, it's a friend. Take us to... wait."

Chen Tianfeng suddenly thought of something, looked at the slightly nervous waiter, and frowned slightly: "How did he describe us?"

Since the waiter recognized them at a glance, Wendy naturally described their characteristics to him in detail.

"Your friend said that you always carry a knife and have a gauntlet on your left arm, which is very easy to recognize. There is a blond girl beside you, and a little guy who can fly."

"Thank you for informing me. Please lead the way."

"Mr. Chen, you're welcome."

Ying and Paimon looked at each other and realized that they had known Chen Tianfeng not long ago and had never met Chen Tianfeng's other friends. So how did this friend who called himself a bard know about them?

The two of them couldn't figure it out and followed Chen Tianfeng, full of curiosity.

"This is it, Mr. Chen."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. There is a bell in the private room. If you have any instructions, just ring it."

The waiter bowed slightly to the three of them and turned to leave.

Chen Tianfeng opened the door and immediately saw a familiar figure standing in front of the window with his back to them admiring the scenery - it was Wendy.

Very good, a God-given opportunity!

Chen Tianfeng was about to raise his hands in salute and shouted "Please return to the God of Wind" as planned, but a sudden gust of wind suddenly blew up in the private room.

"Lord Fengshen! You are finally back!"

"..."

Damn you! Wendy! !

Chen Tianfeng's eyes widened, and he was caught off guard as he watched Wendy quickly turn around, with no false surprise on his face. Then without any hesitation, he bowed to him and even half-knelt, his voice full of sincerity and expectation: "Lord Fengshen! Mondstadt needs you! Please lead us to defeat the dragon disaster!"

Ying and Paimon's eyes widened, and their gazes turned between the two of them several times, their big eyes full of disbelief.

Chen Tianfeng is actually the God of Wind? !

"...Do you want to listen to what you are saying!" Chen Tianfeng's expression almost collapsed. He never expected that Wendy would make this move.

Oh shit! What he said were all my words! !

"Hey~"

Wendy Shiran stood up with a smile on her face: "Long time no see, there must be some wonderful opening remarks, right?"

"This excitement is a bit too much!" Chen Tianfeng scolded with a dark face: "Can you do something serious? Barbatos!"

"Oh, don't worry about these little things."

Wendy waved her hand, looking like "You are really making a fuss", which successfully raised Chen Tianfeng's blood pressure. He smiled, his jewel-like eyes reflecting Chen Tianfeng's figure: "Anyway, welcome back, Xiao Tianfeng."
