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

Chapter 163 Conspiracy

Paimon said in horror, "The 'Strange Bird' repeatedly stole the underwear of young girls? He even put dirty things on their beds... How can such a disgusting person exist in the world? I'm done, I think my mind is going to be in chaos... Traveler... What do those words mean?"

Ying's face was filled with disgust. She gripped the hilt of her sword tightly and gritted her teeth as she said, "I think I should have used my sword more instead of my feet. That way, he might have had a chance to become a 'no bird'."

In the void, King Hao looked at the two of them with a playful expression, chuckling secretly: "Tongzi, I think Yingmei's muteness can be cured."

At this moment, the system suddenly appeared, and asked with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction:

"What have you done to the plot? Don't you have any sense? I enjoyed it, but you've already deleted Tevarin's crisis. What's next? Just relying on a perverted "strange bird" isn't enough to give her a higher status."

King Hao raised an eyebrow and replied confidently, "So, the Abyss has already set its sights on the Snow Mountain. Besides, aren't you all-seeing and all-knowing?"

"Unless all restrictions are lifted, I haven't reached that level yet. Do you think I'm a top-tier system? Even if I were, would it be your turn?"

Prince Hao smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "Sister Ying doesn't look very old, but she's actually quite attractive. I really want to make friends with her and get to know her better. I think Kong won't mind."

[Of course, with two people with similar fates, both surrounded by various beauties, their relationship would have been ruined long ago. Even NPCs were within their prey range. If that person hadn't asked them to deliver the message, there would probably have been new sparks.]

King Hao looked at their backs and said, "They have completed their mission. It's time for me to return to the tavern."

At this moment, Wendy saw Hao Wang sitting at the bar with a dazed look in his eyes, motionless. She gently shook his shoulder and asked doubtfully, "This shouldn't be the case? You're drunk so quickly?"

King Hao slowly came back to his senses, waved his hand and explained, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just meditating. You don't know, when I drink, inspiration often comes to me suddenly, and when I have an inspiration, I can't help but be in a daze, immersed in my own thoughts, and then I become like this."

Wendy blinked and replied, "I see." But she thought to herself: This guy clearly used the magic of the spirit world to escape and wander off, yet he still found such an excuse. But there's no need to call him out on it. His little tricks couldn't be hidden from me. But the old demon still exists, revived and subdued by Morax. This old man is incredibly lucky.

At that moment, a golden figure flashed by and quickly returned to the tavern. It was Ying, the traveler who had just returned from her mission. She approached King Hao, her eyes gleaming with excitement as she said, "The monsters have been cleared out, thanks to your intelligence."

Paimon followed behind Ying and added proudly, "Hey, we even saved other adventurers along the way." Then, Paimon asked curiously, "But what exactly are those ominous auras? They feel terrifying."

Hearing this question, King Hao was silent for a moment before slowly uttering a word: "Abyss."

"Redress? Grudge?" Paimon's eyes widened in surprise, as if realizing something. "Pfft, I was kidding. You just said... 'abyss'? That doesn't sound like a good thing."

King Hao explained solemnly, "It's a place filled with darkness and evil, harbouring countless dangerous monsters and mysterious beings. These ominous auras may have emanated from the abyss."

Paimon shuddered after hearing this. Imagining that place filled with darkness and evil power, a chill ran through his heart: "That's something very bad."

Ying frowned and said thoughtfully, "It seems that we have to be careful in dealing with these threats from the abyss in the future."

King Hao nodded in agreement. "Yes, the power of the abyss is extremely strong. We must remain vigilant at all times." He then looked at Ying with a firm gaze and said, "But I believe that with brave adventurers like you, we will be able to protect the peace of Teyvat."

Ying responded with a smile, "Don't worry, we will try our best." Then she and Paimon left the tavern.

Serius nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done! Our Adventurer's Guild needs capable adventurers like you!"

Paimon laughed proudly: "Hehe, of course, I told you a long time ago that the Traveler is very powerful. One person can beat ten people!"

Ying added confidently, "Even if there are a thousand, it's a piece of cake for me."

Paimon's mouth opened in surprise. "Wow, so powerful! But that's not surprising. After all, the Traveler might even be able to defeat a dragon. What else can't she do?"

Ying smiled faintly, her eyes revealing determination and confidence. She was filled with anticipation and confidence for the adventure ahead. No matter what challenge she faced, she believed she had the strength to handle it. After all, she had fought a god, and while she hadn't won, she could still subdue a dragon.

Paimon asked curiously, "By the way, do you know how to meet Barbatos, the God of Wind?"

Ying looked at Paimon and nodded to Serius.

Serius replied, "Barbatos? What are you looking for him for? A free god won't stay in one place for long. A few years ago, he even took the grass god Sumeru all over Teyvat. Who knows where he is now? But I heard that if you place dandelion wine at the Seven Heavens Statue and pray, there's a high chance you can summon him."

Paimon said in surprise: "Is this true?"

Paimon scratched his head, looking puzzled: "Should we give it a try?"

Ying pondered for a moment and said, "You can give it a try, but don't hold your hopes too high."

Paimon said excitedly, "Then let's go quickly. Maybe we can really see Barbatos, the God of Wind!"

So Ying and Paimeng brought a bottle of dandelion wine to the statue of the Seven Heavens. Paimeng carefully placed the wine in front of the statue, then clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly.

After a long while, there was still no movement around. Paimon said with some disappointment, "It seems this method doesn't work."

Ying comforted him, "Maybe we just need to wait a little longer."

Just then, a breeze blew, rustling the leaves. A playful voice came over: "Hey, who is calling me?"

Paimon turned around in surprise, only to find no one behind him. "Who's talking?"

The voice sounded again: "Look up."

There was a young man in green clothes and a Cecilia flower on his head sitting on the branch, looking at them with a smile.

Paimon shouted in surprise, "Are you Barbatos, the god of wind?"

The young man jumped down from the tree and said with a smile, "That's me. I didn't expect you to summon me in this way."

Paimon looked skeptical: "Aren't you the bard who was drinking with the boss?"

Wendy smiled awkwardly: "Oh, it was just a little accident."

Paimon put his hands on his hips, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Humph, how can it be such a coincidence? I don't believe you are the wind god Barbatos!"

Yingye looked at him scrutinizingly: "It's really hard to believe."

Wendy shrugged helplessly: "I really am the God of Wind. If you don't believe me, I will show you my magical powers." As he spoke, he waved his hand lightly, and a soft breeze blew around him instantly, carrying a faint fragrance of flowers.

Paimon opened his mouth in surprise: "This... is this really the power of the God of Wind?"

Ying remained vigilant: "This isn't enough to prove it completely. Besides, anyone who can use the wind element to this degree can do it, right?"

Paimon thought deeply and came to a conclusion: "You are not pretending to be the wind god Barbatos just for this bottle of wine, are you? You are really an alcoholic."

Wendy: "Hey?"

Paimon: "Hey, what is that?"

Wendy said with a grin, "Hey, that's right, little Paimon, you're really funny."

Paimon said angrily, "Don't play dumb. Tell me clearly, are you Barbatos, the God of Wind?"

Wendy crossed her arms, looking confident: "If I weren't that person, how would I know this secret that only the Wind God knows?"

Paimon tilted his head and thought about it, still not quite convinced: "Then you have to prove it again."

Wendy rolled her eyes and gave a sly smile, "Then I'll tell you an ancient legend that only the Wind God knows."

Paimon crossed his arms and looked at him suspiciously: "Don't try to lie to me again, I don't believe you."

Wendy raised the corner of her mouth and said mysteriously, "About the location of the treasure in the snow mountain."

A hint of curiosity flashed in the traveler's eyes, and he silently picked up the bottle in his hand and handed it to him.

Paimon's eyes widened with a surprised expression on his face, and then he said a little embarrassedly: "I admit that I spoke a little loudly just now."

……

"Click——"

With a resounding sound, a giant nail slowly floated above the snow-capped mountains. The nail, emitting a mysterious glow, stood out against the backdrop of the white snow.

Paimon's eyes widened, his mouth hanging open as he exclaimed, "Wow...it was so easy to do, it felt like a dream. This is all thanks to the strategy guide provided by Wendy. He's amazing!"

The traveler nodded slightly in agreement, then walked forward and opened the treasure chests one by one with skillful and steady movements.

I saw various colors of light flashing in the treasure chest, the dazzling gems were as dazzling as stars, the precious weapons emitted a cold light, and there were some ancient scrolls that seemed to carry unknown secrets.

Paimon jumped up and down excitedly, waving his hands. "Traveler, we've really gained a lot this time! Wendy's strategy is so useful! I wonder how he came up with such a brilliant idea."

The traveler smiled at Paimon, his eyes full of tenderness. He carefully put the treasure into his backpack and said, "Well, Wendy was indeed a great help. Without his guidance, we would have had to go through a lot more trouble."

Paimon nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course. Wendy is indeed a bard, knowledgeable, smart and resourceful. If I have any more problems in the future, I really hope to get his help again."

Ying pondered: "Could he have any clues about Barbatos, the God of Wind?"

Paimon: "Maybe?"

In a cave somewhere...

The Fatui groveled before a tall woman.

A cold female voice said, "After using the gadgets provided by the Doctor, remember to run away and don't let anyone catch you."

Fatui advance team: "As you command, Madam."

After saying this, the advance team of the Fatui hurriedly retreated and prepared to carry out their mission.

The "lady" crossed her arms, a fierce look in her eyes, and said to herself: "This time, the plan must go smoothly." Then she left the cave.

On the other side, Ying and Paimon suddenly felt a strange breath on their way to the bottom of the mountain.

Paimon said nervously, "Traveler, I don't feel right. It seems like something bad is going to happen."

Ying gripped the sword tightly in her hand and said vigilantly, "Be careful, Paimon. Let's move on and see what's going on."

As they approached the cave, they could faintly hear noise coming from inside.

Ying signaled Paimon to be quiet, and the two of them quietly approached the cave, wanting to find out what was going on.

After Paimon and the traveler entered the cave, they found it dark and damp, with an unsettling atmosphere.

Paimon followed closely behind the Traveler and said in a trembling voice, "Traveler, I... I'm a little scared."

The traveler whispered to him, "Don't be afraid, Paimon. Just follow me carefully."

Paimon swallowed and looked around: "It feels eerie in here, are there any monsters that suddenly rush out?"

The traveler's eyes were determined, and he gripped the sword tighter. "Even if there is, we can handle it."

Paimon took a deep breath and said, "Well, I feel much more at ease with you around."

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from the front. Paimon was so scared that he grabbed the corner of the traveler's clothes and said, "Traveler, have they discovered us?"

The traveler stopped and listened: "Don't make any noise for now, let's see what's going on."

Paimon and the traveler held their breath, and when the footsteps got closer, they quietly hid behind a huge rock.

Paimon's heart was beating fast with nervousness. He whispered to the Traveler, "Traveler, if we are discovered, let's run away."

The traveler shook his head slightly and responded in a low voice, "Let's see what they're going to do first, and then we'll act accordingly."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. It turned out to be two Fatui soldiers on patrol. They were talking as they walked.

"This mission must not go wrong. You know the Madam's temper."

"Don't worry, everything is ready, just waiting for orders."

After they passed by, Paimon was about to stick her head out, but the traveler grabbed her and asked her to wait.

After a while, after making sure the surroundings were safe, the traveler and Paimon continued to walk cautiously deeper into the cave. Their steps were very light, for fear of making any noise.
