At the same time, on the other side.

Outside Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius, who had been discussing what to eat for dinner, instantly went on high alert. The strange phenomenon in the sky was simply too bizarre; a train descended from the sky and flashed across the sky above Mondstadt, and then…

On the Mondstadt Bridge, Timmy, who had been feeding pigeons, stared wide-eyed, and the bread he was using to feed the pigeons had fallen from his hand.

The pigeons, which should have obediently accepted the feeding, were now frightened by the "strange phenomenon" and scattered in all directions.

At this moment, a blue orb of light was quietly floating in Xing's palm.

"This is……"

Looking at the blue orb of light, a sense of foreboding instantly enveloped Xing's heart.

Slowly bring your five fingers together, grasp the ball of light in your palm, and then...

"Click..."

The azure orb of light slowly shattered, and then a figure that was extremely familiar to her appeared in her palm!

Item: Soda Fermented Soy Milk

Description: Made from fermented soybean products, it has a sour and pungent smell, but is refreshing and delicious.

If you can drink a whole bottle without batting an eye, you'll definitely win the approval of the gourmets at Luofu.

"This thing is called 'Soda Soy Milk'! It's not called 'Soda Soy Milk'!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Why the hell are you in the gacha pool?!" (Damn it!)

The bottle containing the grayish-green unidentified object bounced twice on the Mondstadt Bridge after being thrown by Xing, before returning to Xing's hand.

At this moment, it felt as if a chorus of chirps had flashed through Xing's mind. Her eyebrows furrowed, her face began to flush slightly, and sparks seemed to flicker in her golden eyes...

then……

"Honorary Knight! What just happened?"

The knights who came upon hearing the noise rushed to Xing's side, looking around warily while asking Xing questions.

Since Xing single-handedly took down the "three temples," he has been knighted as an honorary knight by the Knights of Favonius and is currently enjoying great fame in Mondstadt!

Paimon, who hadn't been keeping a close eye on Xing by the roadside, arrived late and flew nervously to Xing's side, warily watching the area around the bridge.

"What happened? Has the Stormterror attacked again?"

"..."

Xing remained silent, her beautiful face filled with a profound stillness.

The morning breeze gently lifted a playful strand of gray hair by her ear, as if trying to smooth away the gloom on her brow.

"Hey! Say something! Or... are you paralyzed with fear?"

Noticing that Xing hadn't responded for a long time, Paimon turned around in confusion, looking at Xing who seemed to be deep in thought with a puzzled expression. Then, following her gaze, she saw the "soda soy milk" that Xing was holding.

"What is this? Could the strange phenomenon in the sky just now have been caused by this thing?"

In that instant, Paimon's little brain seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and he quickly deduced part of the truth of the incident.

Upon hearing this, Hoshino finally snapped out of her daze about "there being soda soy milk in the gacha pool," looked at Paimon beside her whose eyes were full of questions, and then shook her head.

Turning around, he waved to the still vigilant Knights of Favonius, indicating that nothing serious had happened. Then, amidst the knights' questioning gazes, he pulled Paimon toward the outskirts of Mondstadt.

She quickly vented to her friends in her mind chat group about everything that had just happened. She hadn't even drawn the remaining four draws, which showed how serious the situation was!

Xing: "Family members, does anyone know this?! There are drinks in this treasure gacha pool!"

"Soda Fermented Soy Milk.jpg"

fluorescent:"????"

Ying: "This thing... was extracted?"

Xing: "Yes, it cost me 160 Xingqiong!"

Ling: "What is this? It doesn't look very appetizing."

Kiana: "Uh..."

Looking at the picture posted in the group, Kiana's hand, which was originally about to try a single pull, suddenly paused.

This gacha pool... could it contain anything?

Xing: "I'll stop smoking for now, I'm going to give this to Barbatos to drink!"

Ying: "Ah, this..."

Although I don't know exactly how bad that stuff tastes, Barbatos shouldn't be guilty of anything that deserves to die, right?

While silently mourning for Wendy, whose fate remained unknown, Ying, inside a classroom at St. Freya Academy, stared at the gacha interface before her and swallowed hard. Even though the items were all random, she still wanted to give it a try…

Then, that fair finger gently tapped the imagined interface, and then...

"Woo!!!"

"Warning! Warning! Unknown attack detected! Unknown attack detected!"

After Ying touched the button and successfully spent 160 Primogems, a blue meteor streaked across the sky at an incredible speed toward the location of St. Freya Academy. The academy's defense system, which detected the blue meteor, immediately sounded a piercing alarm.

At the same time, Xing seemed to have thought of something and added in the group chat.

Xing: "By the way, there seems to be a card-drawing animation or something when you draw cards, so you guys should pay attention to it."

fluorescent:"……"

Isn't it a bit late for you to speak?

Chapter Thirty-One: Ying: No one can stay the same forever...

"Alarm! Alarm..."

The rapidly descending meteor broke through St. Freya's external defense system almost instantly, and as if it had locked onto Ying's location, the blue meteor headed straight for Ying's classroom!

Gazing at the shooting star so close yet so far, Ying's pupils constricted; at this moment, she had nowhere left to hide...

She could only helplessly watch as the blue shooting star flew straight toward her face.

"boom!!!"

In an instant! The entire teaching building shook as if an earthquake had struck, and then, amidst the classrooms that resembled ruins and the floating dust, everything gradually returned to silence…

Xing: "@Ying, but it's not a big problem. What appears when you draw a card is just a phantom and won't cause any damage."

Ling: "I see!"

Kiana: "Is this what they call a gacha animation?"

Xing: "Hmm...it seems Ying has already gone to draw cards excitedly. I'm going to find Barbatos now. You guys chat first."

Outside Mondstadt, a grey figure was searching for the Wind Sprite's trail like a Bloodhound.

As a woman with a script, Wendy's plan was already clear to her. According to the plot, Wendy should now explain how to resolve the wind dragon crisis and have her steal the Sky Harp, but... before that, she had to get this bottle of soy milk into someone's mouth!

There wasn't any grudge involved; she simply felt she couldn't let her 160 Star Jade go to waste. After all, soda soy milk has a very short shelf life, and if she didn't drink it soon, it might evolve into something like "Himeko's Coffee."

Giving this stuff to monsters would be a waste, she felt guilty giving it to the knights, couldn't bear to give it to Paimon, and drinking it herself... she didn't seem to deserve that, so...

Let the Wind God drink it; he won't die from it anyway!

Meanwhile, inside the Wind Dragon Ruins.

Wendy, who was interacting with Dvalin, suddenly shivered!

There seemed to be a hint of ill intent in the wind...

"Barbatos!!! Barbatos!!!"

For some reason, Dvalin's corruption seemed to have worsened considerably. Venti didn't even need to think twice; this was the work of the Abyss Order, and the reason was simple...

He opened the "path" through which the Abyss Order crossed the barrier.

With the Abyss Order constantly instigating him, Stormterror's hatred for Anemo and Mondstadt has only intensified.

To break this current stalemate, the Traveler needs to use her unique power to purify the Abyss, but...

Even now, Wendy is reluctant to untie Tvalin.

This is not because there are other ideas, but because the [Traveler] has now transformed into the [Pioneer].

Whether it was truly purified or not, he didn't know for the time being, but she certainly had the ability to "purify" the Wind Demon Dragon.

Judging from the power that Xing had in demolishing the temple...

It's estimated that just two baseball bats would be enough for Tvarin to transform into the purest wind elemental power in the world...

But now, he can't delay any longer.

Although that "pioneer" acted eccentrically and was somewhat unconventional, she was not inherently bad; in fact, she could be described as "kind."

So... he's now planning to take the risk and give it a try.

First, release Dvalin, and then let the original "plot" repeat itself.

If things really come to a critical moment, with his power... he should at least be able to get Dvalin to retain consciousness and reshape his body...

This time, they didn't have a second chance...

Because pioneering is destined to move forward. Even if you deny its inherent meaning, at this moment, time can only move forward, not backward!

"Ah... Traveler, I miss you more and more now..."

With a soft sigh, Wendy shook his head, then his wind-colored eyes gleamed slightly as he looked at the raging Stormterror before him…

The shackles binding the "dragon" vanished instantly, and then Wendy's figure disappeared like the wind, vanishing into the midst of a thousand breezes.

Next, there was...

"Roar!!!!"

The dragon's fury roared across the heavens, then unleashed an endless whirlwind that swept towards Mondstadt...

Although it can no longer draw upon the wind element from the temple, don't forget that only three of the temples "Guardians of the Four Winds" have been destroyed.
