Holy Lord from Teyvat

Chapter 25 Why are you a man?

[Host contacts Wendy/Barbatos, triggering a lottery draw. Do you want to draw now? ]

"smoke."

[Congratulations on obtaining the item card: A trace of Xiaofeng's magic]

[Item Card: A trace of Xiaofeng's evil spirit (will turn people into demons)]

Zheng Tian was walking on the road, taking a look at the new things he had won from the lottery triggered by Wendy, but he did not feel too excited.

Not to mention that he didn't know how to store these demonic energies, just the look on the devil dragon's face after obtaining the eight demonic energies was enough to make him think twice.

Knights Headquarters, Library.

This place has closed early.

Now, besides Zheng Tian, Kaia and Noelle, only Qin and Lisa are present.

Qin: "Zheng Tian, thank you for your hard work."

Zheng Tian: "It's okay, I'm actually quite relaxed. By the way, how many people have come from Liyue?"

Everyone has become very familiar with each other, even Qin no longer calls him "sir", but calls him by his name.

Qin: "There are not many people. Together with the Qianyan Army and the people from Bubulu, there are less than 200. Maybe one, they don't know the truth, and two, there is the Wind Demon Dragon causing trouble, so it is not advisable to make any big moves."

Lisa put down the documents in her hand and said, "However, many people may come here in the future, not just from Liyue."

Zheng Tian: "It doesn't matter. I can heal them with just a touch."

Qin looked worried: "But, won't this be too much of a drain on you?"

Zheng Tian shook his head: "This is not a big expense for me, otherwise I would not have agreed to this matter. What we really need to worry about is that someone will take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, or that some bad guys will sneak in."

Kaia: "Indeed, I feel that some guys in the dark are very active recently."

Qin looked at Zheng Tian and said, "Don't worry, just leave these matters to the Knights of Favonius."

Zheng Tian looked at Qin: "Don't worry, the enemy can't hurt me. If we really meet them, they will probably worry about their own safety. As for you, you have been so busy recently, don't get tired."

Jean: "Don't worry, I'm fine. If I can't handle this alone, how can I protect the whole of Mondstadt like Lady Vanessa?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin saw that except for Noelle, the other three all looked helpless.

Zheng Tian: "If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. You and Noelle should both take care of your rest. Besides, as the leader... Never mind, I'm not in a position to say it, so I won't say it."

And it's probably no use saying it.

"I have to go now. Goodbye."

Without waiting for Qin and Noelle to reply, Zheng Tian summoned two ninjas and had them pull him back through the shadows.

Watching Zheng Tian slowly sink into the shadows, the four of them said goodbye.

"Please take a good rest too."

"Don't forget to come and study magic with your sister."

"Mr. Zheng Tian, you can always ask me for help if you need it."

"I'll go to your restaurant for a drink later."

Using the shadow ninja's teleportation ability, Zheng Tian secretly returned home, then packed up and went to the restaurant.

"The lady has been quiet for so long, and I don't know what she's thinking about. How about I go check it out myself sometime?"

Using the monkey charm's ability to transform into an animal to sneak in openly is definitely much more secretive.

"No, the lady is not an ordinary woman. If she were a cat or something, she might be kicked away. Would she be beaten or would she resist? If she were a small flying insect, she might be killed with a small flame."

Zheng Tian walked slowly to the restaurant while thinking about the infiltration plan he had come up with on the spur of the moment.

……

"Poet, are you waiting here?"

Zheng Tian opened the door and asked Wendy who was obviously waiting on the side.

Wendy nodded repeatedly: "Yeah."

Zheng Tian didn't say anything, he just opened the door and went in. Wendy followed closely behind him, with no one else around.

It's only 6:30 now, and restaurants usually open before 7:00, and the TV doesn't turn on until 7:30. So those who are watching TV series don't need to reserve a seat too early.

In order to prevent children and teenagers from becoming addicted to watching Monkey King, the old version of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is broadcast in the evening.

Those who only want to watch Journey to the West don’t have to squeeze in time to watch it at night, which can avoid crowds to a certain extent.

Wendy found a seat and sat down, observing the interior of the restaurant with interest.

"Boss, you are not from here, right? These things are obviously not from here, where are you from?"

Zheng Tian took out the newspaper and sat in his usual place: "I am indeed not a local, but if you ask someone on the street, you will probably know that I am from another world."

Wendy: "It's a different world. It's really interesting."

Keep pretending, you already know 80% or even 100% of it.

Asking a ninja to get a cup of hot tea, Zheng Tian looked at the newspaper and said, "Looking at your clothes, you are also from Mond, right? Did you just come back from abroad?"

Wendy: "Yeah, I've been away from here for a long, long time. Boss, what do you have here? Any wine?"

Zheng Tian: "Wine? Yes, there is, but there is not much wine here. If you want to get drunk, you have to go to the pub."

Wendy: "It's okay, let me get to the bar."

Zheng Tian: "Did you bring Mora?"

Wendy stood up and approached, looking flattering. "Boss, I was the champion of Mondstadt's Favorite Bard for three consecutive years. Tell me, can I use my performance to pay for the wine? Don't worry, even if you are not satisfied, I can pay the bill with the money I earn later."

Zheng Tian turned his head and looked at Wendy's face. He stared at her for a long time, which made Wendy feel a little uncomfortable before he spoke: "Hey~ Why are you a man?"

Wendy was stunned for a moment, then her face was filled with horror. She covered her chest and said, "This is unbelievable! This is unbelievable! I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, boss. Let me make it clear first, I sell my art but not my body."

Zheng Tian: "Are you a man or a woman?"

Wendy: "Of course it's a man."

Zheng Tian: "Then what are you worried about?"

Wendy: "But if I were a woman, would you ask me to sell my body?"

Zheng Tian: “I didn’t say that.”

Wendy: "Your pitying look clearly shows that you have some regrets about me being a man! Who knows what you are thinking?"

Zheng Tian: "Are you still drinking?"

Wendy's expression changed instantly, and she said seriously, "Drink! A glass of dandelion wine."

Zheng Tian: "...give him a glass of dandelion wine."

Ninja brought Wendy a glass of dandelion wine.

Wendy glanced at the ninja soldier, then took the wine, smelled it, and then looked intoxicated.

"Hmm~ It's this smell, so charming."

Zheng Tian glanced at Wendy's expression and wondered if she had just woken up today.

Ignoring Wendy's reaction to drinking, Zheng Tian continued reading the newspaper.

When Wendy finished her glass of dandelion wine and was about to order another one, Zheng Tian's familiar voice came from outside the restaurant.

"Zheng Tian! Are you back?"

It's Amber, but she doesn't seem to watch Romance of the Three Kingdoms. She only comes to watch Journey to the West in the morning during holidays.

Amber walked into the restaurant, glanced at Wendy, and then walked straight towards Zheng Tian.

"Um, can you come over here for a moment? I have something to tell you."

Zheng Tian put down the newspaper: "Okay."

Wendy quickly said, "Boss, can you give me another glass of wine?"

Zheng Tian: "Give him another glass."

……

Amber took Zheng Tian to a secluded corner and looked around.

Zheng Tian: "What's wrong with you? You're sneaking around."

Amber came closer to Zheng Tian and whispered, "Zheng Tian, actually, you are Gauss, right?"

Zheng Tian nodded and admitted: "I was wondering how you could not have guessed it, I didn't expect you to come and ask me now."

Due to Zheng Tian's previous performance in using talismans and magic power, some people suspected that Zheng Tian and the "Mond Miracle Doctor" were the same person.

But some people said that Zheng Tian made a big splash, while the identity of "Monde Miracle Doctor" was kept very secret, and even his voice seemed to be concealed, and the styles of the two sides had a strong conflict. So people overturned this idea.

But Amber was different. She knew all too well how weird her new friend was.

Amber blushed a little and said a little embarrassedly: "This time is different from before. You have been keeping it a secret. There must be a reason. So, I shouldn't ask."

Zheng Tian: "It's okay, there aren't that many reasons. Let me tell you this, I don't want the restaurant to become an alternative medical clinic with so many customers seeking medical treatment."

Amber understood instantly, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is. Um, Zheng Tian, I actually want to ask you a favor."

Zheng Tian: "Do you want me to heal someone?"

Amber: "Yes, I have a friend who has a serious problem. I want to ask her, can you help her?"

Zheng Tian: "Is it Ke Lai?"

Amber: "You knew?!"

Zheng Tian nodded, his expression serious: "Qin and Lisa mentioned Cole to me. The combination of Demon Scale Disease and Demon God Residue is a very tricky situation."

Seeing Zheng Tian's reaction, Amber felt a little uneasy: "Then can you save her?"

Zheng Tian shook his head: "I don't know. In fact, even you don't know how special the Demon Scale Disease is, and the Demon God Residue is not Cole's own disease, and it even has spirituality. According to my understanding, no matter which one, I can't guarantee a cure."

The power of the horse charm can be said to be maxed out in terms of healing abilities, but while its resistance to magic that affects the body is not non-existent, it is limited.

To sum it up: it can heal physical injuries and maintain normal functioning of the body, but has low resistance to magic that does not harm the body.

Therefore, Zheng Tian estimated that for patients with demonic scale disease, at most he could cure the physical damage caused by the demonic scale disease, but could not cure the demonic scale disease completely.

And the demon residue is not a simple disease or poison. Zheng Tian felt that the horse talisman's ability could only heal the other party's physical injuries.

Amber was crestfallen and felt very uncomfortable: "Even you can't help Cole?"

Zheng Tian hurriedly comforted her: "It's just my estimation. I think it's best to wait until we meet in person. And although I'm not sure I can cure all of her illnesses, I'm pretty sure I can alleviate her symptoms."

Amber became happy again: "Really? Thank you, Zheng Tian."

Zheng Tian: "You're welcome. By the way, have you contacted her? If her situation is not urgent, let her wait until the matter of Feng Mo Long is resolved before coming back."

Amber: "I haven't contacted her yet. After all, her condition is too grim. Didn't you also say that you were not sure you could cure her?"

At this point, the smile on Amber's face turned into worry again: "By the way, Zheng Tian, what about you? You also feel that Cole's matter is difficult, so how will it affect you?"

Amber knew very well that Zheng Tian's method of treating everyone was his special ability, not formal medical skills. Who knew if this would cause huge consumption or even backlash?

Zheng Tian: “No.”

Amber was still worried: "Really?"

Zheng Tian: "Don't worry, I won't die like this anyway."

Amber: "Pfft! What are you talking about? Don't say that again."

Zheng Tian: "Okay, okay. I'm just telling the truth."

Even if this body can't be used anymore, I can still use the Holy Lord's body.

Amber: “I can’t say that.”

Zheng Tian raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Have you eaten yet? Do you want to come to my place for a meal?"

Amber: "I've eaten, and I haven't turned in the task yet."

Zheng Tian: "Are you so busy today?"

Amber: "Yes, the monsters outside the city are becoming more and more active."

The two talked for a while, and then Amber left.

Looking at Amber's departing back, Zheng Tian sighed: "Actually, Amber is quite serious about her work."

……

At half past seven, quite a few people had already arrived at the restaurant.

But unlike usual times, the guests who were watching the drama did not urge Zheng Tian to turn on the TV.

Wendy plucked the strings of the piano, and under his exquisite skills, beautiful sounds came out, which was intoxicating.

But bards do more than just play the harp.

He began to sing a ballad. The content of the poem was how Vanessa, the founder of the Knights of Favonius, led people to raise the banner of resistance against oppression a thousand years ago and eventually led the people of Mond into a new era.

The tune matched the melody of the piano very well. Although Zheng Tian didn't understand the ins and outs of it, he still thought it sounded nice.

As for the profound ones, he didn't understand, and neither did many people present. But everyone got a history lesson and listened to a wonderful musical performance.

It is worth mentioning that Wendy emphasized in the last poem that the people of Mond need to be wary of and hostile not to a certain bloodline, but to the expanding desires and corrupt human hearts. Lawrence, who once resisted the tyrant, can become a new tyrant belonging to mankind, but who can be sure that there will not be other tyrants?

After the performance, Wendy came out of her previous state and said, "Everyone, are you satisfied with my performance?"

clap clap clap...

Applause broke out, and someone took out some Mora and gave it to Wendy.

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

Kaiya looked at Wendy, clapped his hands, and said to Zheng Tian, "This bard is pretty good. Is he your new resident singer?"

Zheng Tian also clapped his hands and replied, "No, I came here to see my restaurant and have a drink."

Kaia: "I think you'd better keep him."

Zheng Tian: "Leave him here. Do you mean to give this bard to..."

Kaiya nodded repeatedly, and then saw Zheng Tian stretched out his palm and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Kaia: "..."

"Boss, how is it? Are you satisfied with my performance?"

Zheng Tian: “Very good.”
