Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

"In that distant era, fairies were called "angels" by humans, and the best among them... were probably "messengers of God."

Zhongli's tone was calm, but his heart was already filled with turbulent waves.

Those fairies who love humans were cursed because of "loving humans" and became unconscious bodies, but Chang Ming... seems to be an exception among exceptions.

He is called a fairy because his race is that, but he does not have a single bit of fairy power in him. This may be the key to his avoiding the curse.

The seal on his body should come from the ruling of death, but why did He do this? What benefits would it bring to Him?

Countless questions lingered in the mind of this most senior of the "Seven Rulers of the Earthly World". His golden eyes looked quietly at Chang Ming in front of him, and then he sighed and put his hands behind his back.

"We can only wait until he wakes up and ask him..."

Wendy shrugged without comment, then turned her gaze to the wings behind Chang Ming, feeling a little curious for a moment.

"So... can his wings let him fly? If so... should I give him a little more blessing from the wind?"

“Cough cough...cough cough cough——”

As if in response to Wendy's words, Chang Ming coughed twice intermittently, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the blue ocean, he let out a long sigh, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

He had just prepared for the worst - he, Zhongli and Venti had to deal with a violent planet-eating whale.

But it seems now...the ceremony was actually successful without his leadership?

Should we say that he was lucky? Or...the abyss forces were obedient enough?

Chang Ming didn’t know.

"How does it feel?"

Zhongli asked in a gentle voice.

"I don't feel anything at the moment, it's just..."

As Chang Ming spoke, he slowly raised his right hand, looked at the mark left on his palm, and a strange look appeared on his face.

"I did get some power from the Reign of Death, but... I still don't know how to use this power——"

Before Chang Ming could finish his words, a piercing pain followed his consciousness from afar, and countless complex marks and energy circuits unreasonably rushed into his consciousness at this moment.

Not only that, but I also felt waves of burning pain and a foreign body sensation in the back of my head and back, as if something had grown out of nowhere.

The biological self-protection mechanism made Chang Ming curl up subconsciously. He frowned and wished he could curl himself up into a ball.

"Chang Ming?! How are you? Are you okay?"

Wendy looked at the angel who had returned to the world with some worry, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

Zhongli frowned as he looked at Chang Ming who was in great pain, a look of confusion appearing on his face.

After all, the era in which the fairies lived was earlier than their own, and even gods of their seniority didn't know what to do.

Just when Wendy wanted to use the wind element to help Chang Ming relieve the pain, the wings that had been quietly staying behind him suddenly spread out and then wrapped Chang Ming in them.

Looking at the black "egg" in front of her, a hint of surprise flashed across Wendy's eyes.

But what surprised him was not that this wing actually had this function, but——

"I really didn't expect the wings would be so big when spread out..."

Zhongli shook his head helplessly, then looked towards the golden palace in the distance, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Could this be a coincidence?

The Abyss Cult is thinking about a machine to defy fate, Xumi's World Tree is moving, Fontaine breaks the cycle of fate, and a relic used by a demon to defy fate is revived at this moment...

And the rise of Chang Ming, an alien who transformed from a native life form into an adventurous being, is all this really a coincidence?

Or...is this another big chess game on Sky Island?

He raised his head slightly, and his golden eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the deep Old Sea and look directly at the floating island in the sky.

"What are you... planning?"

......

As time passed, the wings wrapped around Chang Ming's body slowly dispersed, and Chang Ming's consciousness, which had been a little confused due to the severe pain, gradually returned to normal.

Feeling the additional knowledge for controlling power in his mind, Chang Ming felt a little emotional.

"As expected... the saying that knowledge is power is universal in every world. It is useless to have a power system without a plan to drive the power..."

Chang Ming let out a long sigh, then turned his head slightly and looked at the pair of huge black wings behind him, with a look of understanding on his face.

"So this is the symbol of the 'God's Messenger'... It has a pair of wings that can fly, and even its ear feathers are a circle larger than those of normal fairies..."

Chang Ming muttered quietly while trying to fold his wings, then he slowly stood up from the ground.

"Wendy, and Mr. Zhong, thank you——"

Before he could even finish saying "thank you", he saw Wendy, who was looking expectant, and Zhongli, who was looking interested.

——As if she was curious about him in some other way.

"Can I touch it?"

As Wendy spoke, she tentatively reached out to Chang Ming's earlobes, not considering his thoughts at all.

We are planning to get started right away. Does it matter whether he agrees or not?

The corners of Chang Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and then he nodded gently.

It is worth mentioning that the huge wings can be folded, but the ear feathers cannot, as if they must show his identity as a fairy.

Ha, if he had another ring on or behind his head, he could cosplay another form of Fufu.

Chang Ming shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and Wendy in front of him seemed to have misunderstood something. A look of pity and regret appeared on the face of the woman in the painting who insisted on being a man.

"No...Okay..."

He dropped his hands in disappointment, which made Chang Ming feel a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Obviously, someone came from afar to help you, and after helping you, he just wanted to touch your earlobes, but you refused to let him touch them.

This is really...hard to evaluate.

Looking at Wendy who was pretending to be lost and Chang Ming who was somewhat at a loss, Zhongli shook his head with a smile and then said:

"Since Mr. Chang Ming is fine now, let's get back to the other matter."

As Zhongli spoke, he pointed to the golden palace in the distance and said softly:

"Mr. Whale, the traveler, and Paimon are heading in the direction of the palace, saying they want to settle accounts with a "demon."

"If my guess is correct, this is what Mr. Chang Ming is here to do, right?"
