Chapter 52: Failed Operation
In response to Diluk's words of thanks, Gao Muming had a fawning smile on his face and rubbed his hands constantly, trying to please him in a very servile manner.
"You're welcome. You're my big customer. If possible, I hope we can settle the bill as soon as possible. After all, my status is very important. What do you think?"
Diluk still half-closed his eyes and agreed in a very calm tone.
"I will arrange for Adeline to collect as much of your reward as possible and give it to you."
When Gao Muming heard Diluk say that he would pay the reward as soon as possible, the smile on his face became even more flattering.
"Then thank you for being such a great customer. You are so generous. If you have such good things in the future, you only need to let me know and prepare the reward. No matter where I am, I will definitely rush over to get the job done for you."
Even though he was talking to Diluk, Akira Takagi's eyes never left Ying's face. When he saw Ying's slightly embarrassed expression and the grateful look she gave Diluk, Akira Takagi's guess from two days ago was confirmed.
"Adeline said she was short of money. It must be Ying's fault."
Thinking back to the past two days together, Gao Muming's lips couldn't help but slightly rise up, thinking silently in his heart.
"It's a real pleasure to meet someone like you in this strange world who is compatible with you."
Paimeng, who was sitting across Ying from Gao Muming, looked at Gao Muming's slightly exaggerated behavior and couldn't help but lean over to complain to Ying in a low voice.
"I always feel that Gao Muming's expression and actions are so fake. His attitude is much different when he is alone with us. Is this really the difference between paying and not paying? What do you think..."
Before Ying could respond to Paimon's words, Gao Muming approached Paimon with a gloomy face, exuding a cold feeling, and at the same time, he stroked his neck in the air with his fingers.
"Little Paimon, don't talk nonsense, otherwise, hahahaha."
Paimon, who was suddenly threatened by Gao Muming, cried out "Eh" and threw himself into Ying's arms.
While Ying was comforting Paimon softly, she was staring at Gao Muming with her golden pupils that were slightly angry.
"Really? Don't scare Paimon."
Because they were too close, a faint fragrance lingered at the tip of Gao Muming's nose. He subconsciously shrugged his nose and realized what the smell was. Gao Muming's ears turned red and he sat back in his seat.
"I'm sorry, little Paimon, I didn't mean it. Let me give you my dessert as my apology."
As Gao Muming said this, he pushed the dessert in front of him towards Paimon. Hearing that there was something delicious, Paimon raised his head from Ying's arms and turned his head away with a proud look on his face, but his eyes never left the dessert that Gao Muming pushed over to him.
"Hugh~Hugh, you're trying to bribe me with dessert."
Seeing that Paimon seemed to want to but not want to forgive Gao Muming so easily, Ying spoke with a smile on her face.
"Please forgive him this time for my sake. I'll help you teach him a lesson next time."
Seeing Ying offering the step, Paimeng consciously followed it down.
"For Ying's sake, I forgive you. It's definitely not because of the dessert!"
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Lord Paimon."
With Takagi Akira's jokes, the atmosphere, which was originally a little tense due to the refusal to help, became relaxed.
After the pleasant meal, Gao Muming, led by Adeline, came to the guest room of Chenxi Winery.
"This is the room prepared for guests. If you need anything else, please let me know."
Adeline reached out and opened the door with a formal smile on her face.
The spacious room, exquisite furniture, and soft lighting set off the beautiful paintings on the wall, giving people a very warm feeling.
As a member of a treasure-hunting group that often roams in wild ruins and secret areas, Gao Muming rarely has the opportunity to live in such a comfortable and warm room.
“This room is amazing.”
"It looks like the guests are very satisfied, so I will leave first."
Adeline leaned forward and was about to leave.
After watching Adeline leave, Gao Muming walked into the room, and his hand unconsciously ran across the desk as he passed by.
The soft pillows, pleasant-smelling incense, and such a comfortable and relaxing environment made Gao Muming, who had not had a good rest for two days, feel sleepy. After tidying up a little, Gao Muming buried his head in the soft pillow and fell into a sweet dream accompanied by the fragrance of detergent.
The next day, when Gao Muming was awakened from his sleep by hunger, it was already noon.
Gao Muming sat on the bed, stretched, and shook his head lazily.
"I slept so well. The rooms at the Chateau Dawn are so comfortable. How long has it been since I last relaxed like this? I didn't even wake up once. Even in the hotel in Mondstadt, I didn't sleep well. I would always wake up in the middle of the night because of the slightest noise."
Takagi Akira stood up while recalling the last time he was so lazy and relaxed.
Then Gao Muming realized that he had never been so relaxed since he traveled through time.
"It's really strange that as a member of the treasure-stealing group, I would be so lax. Is it because of the presence of Ying, a "kindred spirit", that I subconsciously let down my guard?"
"Although I once fantasized about traveling to the second dimension, gaining all kinds of abilities to kill people and having many wives and concubines, but after actually traveling there, the feeling of alienation from the world and loneliness is indescribable. So after meeting Ying, a "kindred spirit" who does not belong to the continent of Teyvat, I became a little unlike myself."
"Perhaps this feeling is the reason why I in the Zongman world jump out of the chat group. Compared with us in other worlds, he in this world is now in a situation where his home country can no longer accommodate his body and his new country can no longer accommodate his soul."
Gao Muming rubbed his hair in annoyance.
"I'm actually so sentimental now. I haven't had this much leisure time in the past ten years. It's true that people can't be too idle. Once they are idle, they tend to have wild thoughts. I have to find something to do."
"Yes, I got it. According to the plot, the barrier of the Wind Dragon Ruins will soon be unlocked. After all, it is an ancient city before Mondstadt was founded. No matter how much such a large city is excavated, there must be treasures left. Even if there are only a few remnants left, they will be priceless antiques after thousands of years."
"Let's go back to Mondstadt and meet up with Lao Wan and the others first. While the Tevarin team is breaking the barrier, follow them in as the first wave and search the Wind Dragon ruins thoroughly."
Thinking of this, Gao Muming walked to the door. As his hand rested on the door handle, the lazy atmosphere on Gao Muming disappeared.
When Gao Muming opened the door and walked into the living room, he saw Adeline cleaning there.
"Guest, you are awake."
Seeing Gao Muming walk into the living room, Adeline stopped what she was doing, walked lightly to Gao Muming's side, still with that formal smile on her face.
"According to Master Diluk's instructions, I have already prepared your reward."
Adeline said as she looked at the clock beside her to check the time.
"It's lunch time now. Do you want to eat first or collect your payment first?"
Before Gao Muming could answer, his hungry stomach started growling.
"It looks like it's been confirmed."
The smile on Adeline's face was no longer formal but had a lively feel.
"Please wait a moment. I will prepare lunch for you."
"sorry to bother you."
When Gao Muming finished all the food on the table and patted his belly in satisfaction, Adeline walked up to Gao Muming with a bulging bag in her hand.
"This is the reward that Master Diluk agreed to pay you. You can count it."
"You are so polite. You even asked me whether to count or not. I believe that Chenxi Winery will not deduct my payment."
Gao Mu smiled obviously, but even though he said that, he took the bag of Mora with one hand, and secretly weighed it twice. He easily determined the weight of Mora, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
After hearing what Gao Muming said, Adeline's eyes towards Gao Muming and his treasure-stealing group became softer.
"Thank you very much for your trust."
"In that case, it's time for me to leave."
As Gao Muming spoke, he walked towards the door. Just after taking two steps, Gao Muming suddenly remembered that the treasures he had been searching for so hard were still in Ying's space.
Facing Adeline's somewhat puzzled look, Gao Muming stopped and turned to look at Adeline.
"Miss Adeline, I have something to trouble you with. Please pass on a message for me. When Ying and the others come back, please tell Ying that I will be waiting for her in Mondstadt."
"Okay, I understand. I'll let Miss Ying know when she comes back."
"Thank you, Miss Adeline."
Just as Gao Muming left the Dawn Winery and headed for Mondstadt, Ying and his group marched quickly and arrived at the Star-Picking Cliff very quickly.
Just like in the plot, Wendy plucked the strings of the Skyharp and sang poems to lure Tevarin out.
But what is different from the original plot is that Gao Muming and Ying encountered the Abyss Mage and guessed that the Abyss Mage would act together with Tevarin. So after discussion, when Wendy played the piano, Ying and the other two surrounded Wendy to prevent the Abyss Mage from attacking her.
As Wendy's poem was carried by the wind, Tevarin appeared above the Star-Picking Cliff with the wind just as Wendy said.
In order to resist the frenzied wind elements that came with Tevarin's arrival, Ying and the other two subconsciously used elemental power to resist.
Looking at Wendy who was being protected, Tevarin carefully raised his position.
"Why are you calling me again? I've already said before that we have nothing to talk about anymore."
As he spoke, Tevarin's eyes swept over Ying and the others.
"How pathetic! Barbatos, the great wind god, disappeared for so long, and when he reappeared, he was reduced to this state, needing human protection before he dared to face me. Or did you bring them here to hunt me?"
Tevarin's tone changed from disdain at the beginning to anger, and the wind element in his body became more violent.
Seeing this, Wendy looked anxious and shouted loudly.
"No, it's not, Tevarin, I found a way to cleanse the poisonous blood from your body."
"You~found a way to remove the poisonous blood?"
Hearing the doubt in Tevarin's words, Wendy quickly pointed at Ying beside her and continued.
"Yes, she can cleanse the poisonous blood from your body."
"she?"
After hearing Wendy's words, Tevarin stared at Ying for a while.
At this moment, a sneer came from behind Tevarin, and then an abyss wizard appeared in front of everyone.
"You have been deceived, my poor dragon. Do you think a human being can remove poisonous blood that even the wind god cannot remove?"
Under the gaze of everyone, the Abyss Mage floated up and down beside Tevarin's head, muttering non-stop in a somewhat disembodied voice.
"Isn't it obvious? You can't do it. What she can't do, no one can do. Otherwise, why would you endure 500 years of pain?"
"The ability to cleanse the poisonous blood in your body is just a cover, an excuse, an excuse to let you drop from the sky. He has already made up his mind to trick you to the ground and then kill you. Look, the guys around him are the executioners used to do it."
Seeing that Tevarin's temperament became even more violent because of the words of the Abyss Mage, Wendy, who looked anxious, could not help but push everyone away and take a few steps forward.
"No, it's not like that. She can really cleanse the poisonous blood from your body. Trust me, Tevarin."
Hearing Wendy's words, Tevarin roared angrily, and along with Tevarin's anger, a gust of wind swept towards everyone.
"Trust you? I endured all these years just because I believed in you, but how did you repay my Barbatos? You disappeared for so many years, Barbatos, you! You betrayed my trust in you!"
Looking at the people who were in a very miserable state in the huge wind caused by Tevarin's anger, the Abyss Mage laughed and his tone became excited.
"Yes, yes, yes! My poor dragon, that's it. Let those who betrayed your trust see your power."
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly critical, Wendy played the Sky Harp in her hand and used the power of the wind element in the Sky Harp to form a wind field around everyone, protecting them.
"What a troublesome fellow."
As the Abyss Mage spoke, he summoned several ice arrows to shoot at Venti. Diluk immediately came to Venti's side and blocked all the ice arrows with a greatsword attached with fire elements.
Although he wanted to order Tevarin to attack directly, looking at the blood relatives of His Royal Highness the Prince below, the Abyss Mage was unable to issue the order for Tevarin to attack.
As Wendy played the Sky Harp again, Tevarin's anger began to subside. The Abyss Mage, who felt Tevarin's change, saw that he could not bypass the protection of the three people and attack Wendy directly. Although he was confident in the curse on Tevarin, in order to avoid accidents, he decided to take Tevarin away first.
"My poor dragon, it is useless to listen to their lies. It is just a waste of your time. We should leave now. Go, my poor dragon, and go to the people who are truly worthy of our service. As for you, just stay here and lament your powerlessness."
I, the Abyss Mage, flashed behind Tevarin. Under Wendy's unwilling look, Tevarin flapped his wings violently and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
