Original God: Start with Qiuqiu, become stronger with food and beauties

Chapter 168 What are you pretending to be?

Afterwards... Wendy and Ying went to a secluded place in Mondstadt as usual, waiting for the lady's sneak attack. Oh, and there was also King Hao.

Ying looked at the person in front of her with a confident look and said, "You are Barbatos, the God of Wind, right?"

Paimon scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Huh?"

However, Ying said confidently: "Even though you changed your clothes, I still recognized you."

Hearing this, Wendy showed a sly smile, crossed her arms, and responded nonchalantly: "Who knows, what does Barbatos's actions have to do with me, Wendy?"

Seeing this scene, Prince Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity, and sighed inwardly, "This scene seems familiar! What's the relationship between arresting Lu Xun and Zou Shuren?"

Paimon tilted his head and asked in confusion, "So you are really Barbatos?" His round eyes were full of confusion and curiosity, as if he wanted to find the exact answer from Wendy's expression.

When Wendy heard Paimon's question, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a sly smile, and she said softly, "Hey?" There was a bit of playfulness and mystery in her tone, making it difficult to understand.

Paimon was furious when she heard Wendy's response. Her cheeks puffed up like a red balloon. She put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Hey, what's that? That's such a perfunctory answer! Ugh... I'm going to give you an unpleasant nickname. Um... From now on, I'll call you a singing street singer!" She stamped her foot to show her displeasure.

When Wendy heard the nickname, instead of getting angry, she burst into laughter. "Singer? That's an interesting name."

Paimon crossed his arms over his chest and snorted, "Who told you not to answer my questions properly?"

The traveler watched the two of them and couldn't help laughing.

Wendy stopped laughing and looked at the traveler. "Don't just watch, traveler, say something too."

The traveler shook his head. "I said, 'Singer, please explain to me clearly whether you are Barbatos or not.'"

Wendy blinked and said, "Oh, since Paimon wants to know so much, I'll tell you. Yes, I am Barbatos."

Paimon's eyes widened, "Really? How do you prove it?"

Wendy gently waved the piano in her hand. A breeze blew, and the surrounding flowers and plants swayed with it. "Is this proof?"

Paimon was still a little skeptical, "This...this is not enough."

Wendy smiled helplessly, "Then I'll think of a solution."

Just then, a clear bird song was heard in the sky, and a beautiful bird landed on Wendy's shoulder.

Wendy smiled and said, "This is my friend. He can testify for me."

Paimon looked at the flying bird and muttered, "Okay, I'll trust you this time."

King Hao: "If that's not enough, it can serve as evidence." Then he casually took out an origami bird.

Paimon looked at it curiously: "Is this made of paper?"

Origami Bird: "Of course this bird is made of chirps!"

Paimon: "Woooaaaaa! The handicraft can talk!"

Ying: "If dragons can transform into human form, what's wrong with talking handicrafts?"

Origami Bird: "This bird is not handmade. I was born in Dream Town. Clock Boy can prove it!"

King Hao said confidently, "If that's not enough, it can serve as evidence." After that, he calmly took out an origami bird from his pocket.

Paimon's eyes widened, and he looked at it curiously. He tilted his head and asked, "Is this made of paper?"

When the origami bird heard Paimon's question, it shook its body and answered in a clear voice, "Of course this bird is made of chirps!"

Paimon jumped at the sudden sound, covered his mouth with his hands, and shouted in horror: "Wow! The handicraft can talk!"

Ying appeared very calm. She folded her arms across her chest and said calmly, "Even dragons can transform into human form, so what's wrong with a talking handicraft?"

When the origami bird heard this, it flapped its wings in anger and shouted angrily, "I'm not a handmade bird. I was born in Dream Town, and the Clock Boy can prove it!"

Paimon still looked incredulous. He leaned in to examine the origami bird carefully without blinking, muttering to himself, "Is it really that magical? How is this possible?"

Seeing Paimon's expression, King Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud. He patiently explained, "What's so surprising about this? The world is so vast, and there are all kinds of wonderful things. What's a talking origami bird?"

Ying also nodded slightly and agreed, "Indeed, we have encountered so many unimaginable things along the way. This is just one of them."

The origami bird, still puffed up, raised its head proudly and emphasized again, "Of course, don't underestimate me! I'm from Dream Town, I'm not just some ordinary handicraft!"

Paimon put her hands on her hips, looked at Wendy angrily and said, "Okay, so what are we doing here? Aren't we going to drink? Just remember to buy me a glass of juice." Her little face was full of anticipation, and her eyes were staring at Wendy.

Wendy scratched her head, an awkward smile on her face, and chuckled, "Hehe, no problem, no problem..."

Ying stood aside, helplessly watching Paimeng, thinking to herself: This guy is really shameless in eating and drinking for free. However, it was Paimeng's innocent look that added a lot of joy to everyone's journey.

Ying shook her head slightly and said to Wendy with a smile, "Wendy, don't spoil her too much."

Wendy shrugged and replied nonchalantly, "It's okay. It's just a glass of juice. As long as it makes everyone happy, that's all I need."

Paimon jumped up excitedly when he heard this: "Great! Let's go!"

The corners of King Hao's mouth rose slightly, but in the dark, two dark shadows were slowly approaching, bringing with them a gloomy atmosphere.

Wendy seemed to have noticed nothing and was still at ease, but King Hao keenly felt that something was wrong with him. It seemed that there was something hidden under that seemingly relaxed expression.

"Be careful!" Ying reacted quickly, unleashing the Wind Vortex Sword. Its powerful force deflected the debt collector, who had suddenly appeared, and she chased after him without hesitation. Meanwhile, the "lady" and the Ying magicians came from the other side and surrounded everyone.

King Hao frowned slightly and said, "Drunkard, you're so arrogant! Is it worth it for the Fatui to personally deal with you? Did you steal the wine cellar of the Kingdom of Winter?"

Wendy scratched her head with an innocent look on her face: "Uh... I don't think I've ever done anything like this?"

The "lady" turned to look at King Hao and said in a cold tone, "Mr. Wang Tianba, please step aside when the Fatui are doing business."

Paimeng looked confused and asked doubtfully, "Wang Tianba? Isn't he King Hao?"

After hearing what Paimon said, the "lady" thought for a moment and looked shocked: "King Hao... Could it be that——"

King Hao looked at Paimeng helplessly, sighed, and said, "As expected of the Mouth of God, I can't hide it any longer. Wang Tianba is my alias when I'm carrying out certain operations."

Paimon was confused for a moment, his little head full of question marks. Ying was also confused about everything that was happening, her eyes full of puzzlement.

He turned to the "lady" and said calmly: "Well, but Miss Rosalyn, this time I just plan to watch the show. The Wang Tianba standing here is not King Hao."

Rosaline nodded slightly, no longer paying attention to King Hao, and continued to look at Wendy. Her eyes turned cold, and she raised her hand and cast a spell to freeze Wendy's legs as she was about to run away.

Paimon shouted anxiously, "Huh? What's going on?

Rosalyn pinched Wendy's cheek and said viciously, "Look, look, the little hamster that's been fooling around outside has finally decided to go home. Has it found a new owner? The flour sack at home isn't enough for you anymore? Are you craving the cheese outside?"

Wendy retorted, "You said more like a rat."

"Shut up, I didn't tell you to talk." Rosalyn yelled.

At this moment, a cunning look flashed in Wendy's eyes. He secretly mobilized the elemental power of wind and struggled hard. The powerful wind force instantly broke through the frozen restraints of the "lady".

Wendy said with a grin, "Oh, don't underestimate me."

Rosalyn's face darkened, and she suddenly appeared in front of Wendy, knocked him away, pierced his chest with her hand, and took out the Heart of God.

"Wendy!" Paimon screamed in horror, his voice filled with fear and anger.

Ying's eyes instantly became fierce. She gripped the sword tightly, emitting a strong aura. "How dare you!"

King Hao was also shocked and angry, "Rosalin, you're going too far!"

Wendy fell to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes remained firm.

Rosaline held the Heart of God with a smug smile on her face. "This is what happens when you go against the Fatui."

"You will pay for this!" Ying roared and rushed towards Rosaline.

Prince Hao followed closely behind, "We can't let her leave like this!"

The traveler was firmly held by the debt collector and could not move.

Seeing this, King Hao planned to stop it, but before he could do anything, he was slapped hard by the luminescence sorcerer next to him, and he was slammed into the wall.

[Equipped with a blood pack in the mouth]

King Hao in Paimeng's eyes: Before he passed out, King Hao held on to the last bit of consciousness and shouted to his panicked self: "Paimeng, go get some help!"

Paimon's face was full of panic, tears welling up in his eyes. He turned around and fled without hesitation, shouting as he flew, "I'll go find help right away!" Then he flew desperately towards the direction of the Knights.

Paimon flew to Wendy and cried anxiously, "Wendy, you must hold on!" Then he quickly flew into Mondstadt.

Wendy smiled weakly, "Don't worry, I won't fall down so easily..."

Rosaline: ??? Although I didn't understand what happened, I thought it was better to retreat. Then the traveler was knocked unconscious.

The luminous sorcerer who had just fought King Hao stared at his hand in a daze (? x ?) What just happened? He quickly moved and slapped the man into the wall. What happened, Fatty?

After sensing that the halo had passed and Paimon had flown away, King Hao stood up and kicked Wendy in the ass: "Alright, stop pretending. It's just taking out the Heart of God. Nothing will happen at all. Everyone here understands. Those who don't understand are already dizzy."

King Hao raised an eyebrow and said to Rosaline in a frivolous tone, "Well, Madam Executive, let's go talk somewhere else."

Wendy still looked nonchalant and out of tune, humming an unknown tune and staggering back and forth.

The other Fatui soldiers opened their eyes wide, their faces filled with shock. They stared blankly at the scene before them, having never expected that things would develop in such an unexpected direction.

Rosalyn raised her chin slightly and said firmly, "Let me make it clear first. I will never return the Heart of God to you. This is an established fact. There is no room for negotiation."

Wendy crossed her arms over her chest, shrugged nonchalantly, and said lightly, "It doesn't matter. It's troublesome to keep the things. It's not of much use to me anyway, so I might as well give it to you and save you some trouble."

King Hao curled his lips and said nonchalantly, "Oh, stop talking nonsense and get going! Don't waste time here. It will be hard to say when the Knights arrive."

Rosaline snorted coldly, and with full of arrogance, she took the lead and walked away.

King Hao followed closely behind, his steps steady and firm.

Wendy still followed with her nonchalant look, not hurriedly.

Leaving behind a group of fool soldiers standing there, looking at each other, with faces full of confusion and helplessness, but they also followed.

……

"Also, you should have heard of my true identity. I am the Resurrected Demon God, Qiu. I am one of the capable generals under Morax and have the status of an immortal. Before you execute the contract with the Emperor, I intend to fight for some rights and interests for the God of Wind." King Hao looked at Rosaline and said.

Rosalyn frowned slightly and said, "Tell me first. If it's too much, I won't agree to it."

King Hao crossed his arms and said confidently, "The Heart of God is our bargaining chip. No matter how much you refuse, you will have to accept it. We don't mind taking it back."

Wendy looked puzzled and shouted, "Huh? Is it necessary to take that stinky thing back?"

King Hao glared at Wendy and said sternly, "Shut up first and let me speak."

Wendy shrank her neck and replied obediently, "Oh."

King Hao looked at Rosaline and said slowly, "Northland Bank will reimburse Wendy's alcohol expenses. In this way, the Wind God's Heart will truly belong to you."

Rosalyn's face was thoughtful as she muttered to herself, "No matter how you look at it, they're losing. Is such a contract necessary? But... if that's the case, shirking it would be ungrateful." She nodded. "Deal."

Wendy was overjoyed and cheered.

King Hao's expression was serious as he said solemnly, "The rest of those who have broken their promises will be punished by eating rocks."
