Chapter 80 Two Travelers

Liyue, Aozang Mountain.

Zhongli paused as he picked up the teacup, then turned his head to look in a certain direction of Mondstadt with a rare look of astonishment.

Is that drunken poet so free?
Zhongli searched for the right adjective in his mind, and in the end he could only sigh at the freedom of the God of Wind. He sent such a special being like Chen Tianfeng to the traveler. Only he could do such a wonderful and interesting thing.

"Emperor?"

The immortal sitting opposite him looked puzzled and whispered, "What are you thinking about?"

"Well, that's a very interesting thing."

Zhongli came back to his senses and looked at the Master Liuyun Jiefeng in front of him, who was dressed in palace clothes. He chuckled and said, "It may give many people a headache, change the plans that have already been set, and even make them angry about it, but I have to say that this is indeed an interesting thing."

"Well, shouldn't this be a bad thing?" True Lord Liuyun wondered.

According to the Emperor, this incident was most likely a sudden change that caught most people off guard, or even caused serious losses, right?

But the Emperor used the word "interesting" to describe it, why?
“Because of change.”

"Variety?"

"The originally planned future has changed, which will certainly make some things unpredictable and add many variables out of thin air, but such a changeable future is real enough, isn't it?"

Zhongli took a sip of tea, with a smile in his golden eyes: "But I didn't expect that the first person to take this step would be the one who was most afraid of trouble."

True Lord Liuyun listened in silence. Even though he didn't quite understand, it didn't matter. The Emperor always had his reasons.

……

Wendy, damn it!
This was Chen Tianfeng’s last words before he lost consciousness. Then everything went dark before his eyes, and he vaguely felt that he had bumped into something, and then he fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Tianfeng gradually regained consciousness and heard faint sounds of conversation beside his ears.

"You mean, you couldn't fly and fell into the river because you were too hungry?"

"Yes, that's right. But I didn't expect that I would be so miserable and almost get hit by that guy falling from the sky! It's so abominable!"

"Well, that's not the case. If it weren't for him, I might not have found you in the river."

".That makes sense. Okay, I forgive him."

"Huh? He seems to be awake?"

The footsteps are getting closer.

Chen Tianfeng opened his eyes, covered his head and let out a "hiss".

Wendy was so cruel that he swung the harp and hit him on the head - this bastard must have done it on purpose!

How could there not be a gentler way to make the God of Wind fall into a deep sleep?

As he was thinking, he saw a pair of white and gold boots appear in front of him. He raised his head, and his gaze gradually moved upwards, finally stopping on the delicate face that was familiar yet unfamiliar.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

The girl looked concerned, bent her waist slightly, thought for a moment, and held out three fingers: "Can you see how many fingers these are?"

".Three."

Chen Tianfeng blinked, stood up, and said half helplessly and half sincerely: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. And... Thank you."

Although it was Wendy's arrangement, Ying did pull him out of the river when he was unconscious, so she should be thanked.

"You're welcome. My name is Ying, and I'm a traveler. What's you?"

The blonde girl's eyes curved into a gentle smile.

"Chen Tianfeng, I'm also a traveler, nice to meet you."

Chen Tianfeng replied.

"Hmm, happy? How happy?"

A small humanoid UFO that was ignored by the side folded its arms and glanced at Chen Tianfeng, with an expression as if Chen Tianfeng owed her millions of Mora. "Who is this?"

Chen Tianfeng pretended to be puzzled, looked at Yingmei, and made a reasonable guess: "Your pet?"

"You are the pet! Damn you! I am Paimon! Paimon!"

Paimeng stamped his feet in the air angrily and stared at Chen Tianfeng angrily: "You fell from the sky!"

"Fall down" Chen Tianfeng thought for a few seconds, then suddenly said: "Oh, it was you I bumped into."

Then he looked Paimeng up and down and asked hesitantly, "Are you okay?"

The little mascot is so weak and small. If he were hit head-on, something might happen to him.

"Well"

Paimon looked at him and saw that he seemed to really care about him, so his attitude softened and his tone was no longer hostile: "It's okay, I wasn't hit directly, I was just thrown up by the splashing waves."

"I see. But I should have hit something. If it wasn't you, who could it be?"

Chen Tianfeng frowned and suddenly smelled an aroma mixed with a slight burnt smell.

"Ah, my fish soup!"

Ying let out a small exclamation and quickly turned and ran towards the simply built stove. Chen Tianfeng and Paimeng looked at each other and followed.

"It's okay, it's okay, there's still hope."

Ying checked it, breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest lightly, raised her eyes and looked at Chen Tianfeng, with a smile in her golden eyes: "What you hit was a fish, would you like a bowl?"

Chen Tianfeng was stunned, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded with a smile: "Well, thank you."

After a simple but delicious dinner, Chen Tianfeng stood up naturally and cleaned up the pots and pans with Ying. Then he sat down by the campfire and looked at the river not far away, which was shimmering in the moonlight.

“What a beautiful view.”

Ying held her chin up, the star-studded river surface reflected in her eyes.

"It's beautiful, but is it a bad idea to camp here?" Chen Tianfeng glanced around: "It seems to be a little closer to the river bank."

"Don't worry, I've surveyed it. This is not a drinking spot for animals, nor is it the corner where the river turns. The terrain is high and the ground is flat and solid. It's a good place to camp." Ying explained seriously, and there seemed to be a convincing magic in her words.

"I see, I've learned a lot."

Chen Tianfeng nodded and looked at Ying with emotion in his eyes.

In the game, the Traveler is kindhearted, cute, but often taciturn, and it is Paimon who speaks for her most of the time. Therefore, Paimon is awarded the title of "Mouth of God".

I didn't expect that in real life, Ying's words are not as rare as in the game. Well, in this case, will [God's Mouth] Paimon be out of work?

“Chen, Chen Tianfeng, you said you are also a traveler?”

Ying looked at Chen Tianfeng, full of curiosity: "Why did you become a traveler?"

"Maybe it's because we have left our hometown. Once we leave our hometown, we are all travelers." Chen Tianfeng said some nonsense.

"Then why did you leave your hometown?" Ying asked.

"Because of an accident."

"Accident?"

"Well, anyway, when I came to my senses, it was already difficult to return to my hometown, so I just became a traveler."

"That's it"

The girl pursed her lips, her eyes flickered slightly, and changed the subject: "By the way, Chen Tianfeng, why did you, uh, fall from the sky?"

"That's a long story."
