Chapter 254: Innocence and Evil

Mondstadt Starfall Lake

On the island in the center of the lake, under the huge statue of the Seven Heavens, a group of people are happily barbecuing.

Smoke rises from the cooking, adding a touch of popularity to this tranquil lake.

The little man stared closely at the fish on the grill, and a sparkle slipped from the corner of her mouth.

"Good, so fragrant!"

As a 'master of grilled fish', Klee has never smelled such fragrant grilled fish.

With big eyes full of adoration, Klee looked at Xiangling who was grilling fish.

"Sister Xiangling is a good person!"

Klee looked at Xiangling and gave her the highest evaluation, for this little guy, most people are good people, and those who can cook fish for her are good people.

Xiangling smiled and bent her eyes, she liked this little guy so much, she didn't know what she thought of, and a trace of shyness appeared on her face,

walked for a while, and then said to little Lori: "Klee is also a good child." โ€

As he spoke, he sprinkled the grilled fish in his hand with the last seasoning, ignored Wang Daoyi's longing eyes, and handed it directly to Klee.

"Come on, Klee eat first!"

Klee held back her greed and looked at Wang Daoyi and Albedo: "."

Wang Daoyi and Albedo shook their heads helplessly, it's all like this, they can't still grab it with the little guy: "Klee eat first." โ€

"Okay, Brother Albedo and Brother Daoyi are also good people!"

The little guy quickly took the grilled fish from Xiangling's hand, and with a light bite of her little mouth, the rich aroma permeated her lips and teeth, and Klee couldn't help but show a happy look.

"It's delicious, it's the best grilled fish Klee has ever tasted!"

Watching the little guy change from a small mouth to a big mouthful, Xiangling also showed a happy look,

What could be more enjoyable than seeing diners like their creations?

The movements of the hands did not stop, and another skewer of grilled fish was completed by Xiangling and sprinkled with the final seasoning.

This time, everyone was given a share of the grilled fish, sat together under the statue of the god of wind, happily ate the grilled fish, and chatted.

A wisp of wind blew, and Wang Daoyi felt a rare tranquility, a peace of mind.

"Wow, are you guys on a picnic, can I join?"

A young voice interjected into the chat.

Wang Dao turned his head and looked, sure enough, it was the guy who didn't do his job.

"Ah, it's you, Wendy!"

Xiangling recognized the man as a bard who had fought against Dvalin together.

"Oh, it's Chef Xiangling, long time no see."

Wendy also greeted Xiangling, and then floated lightly from a distance.

Looking at Wendy, Xiangling introduced to Xingqiu and Chongyun: "This is Wendy, we participated in an adventure mission with him last year. โ€

Xingqiu was just chatting with Albedo, and saw a stranger coming, and it was a friend of Xiangling and Wang Daoyi who met last year, so he nodded to Wendy: "It's nice to meet you, I'm Xingqiu." โ€

Then he pointed to Chongyun: "This is Chongyun." โ€

Wendy also nodded: "I'm Wendy, a bard, can I join them in the picnic, I will repay them with poetry." โ€

As she spoke, Wendy looked at Wang Daoyi.

Obviously, Wendy thinks that the person who calls the shots here is the king.

"Can't ask us. This is a barbecue party for Klee, so you'll have to ask Klee! โ€

Wang Daoyi smiled and shook his head, then pointed at Klee.

Klee ate the grilled fish and looked up blankly at Wendy

"Ah, strange lords say unscrupulous bards."

Klee's words were a bit more round, but everyone still understood and smiled.

Wendy was embarrassed for a moment, and then scratched her head embarrassedly: "Actually, it's not so unprofessional." โ€

"Heh, sit down, Xiangling has added food, and bake one for Wendy."

Seeing that Wendy was resisted by Klee's childlike words, Wang Daoyi also smiled, pointed to the position next to him, and then shouted at Xiangling.

He respects Barbatos as the god of the winds, but treats Wendy the Bard as a common friend.

"Where have you been lately? I didn't find you the other day. โ€

Wang Daoyi asked about the previous avalanche, such a big disaster, Wendy didn't make a move, and she didn't even show her face, which was very abnormal.

Wendy looked at the people chatting on the side, and then whispered to Wang Daoyi, "I went overseas to play a song, thank you this time." โ€

Don't look at Wendy's usual lack of business, but when Mondstadt has any natural or man-made disasters, Wendy will always help behind it.

And this time, it really didn't have time.

He went to an isolated island overseas and played a song for a certain being.

When he sensed the avalanche, Wang Daoyi had already made a move, so he didn't rush back too much.

Wang Daoyi nodded slightly, Mondstadt's overseas is worthy of Wendy's play, who is there?

Reign of Time: Istaru

Shaking his head, with a hint of calm: "You don't need to thank me, if it weren't for the entrustment of the Great Sage of Demon Suppression, I would block it at most, and I wouldn't have reached this point." โ€

If it weren't for Xiao's special instructions, he would have blocked the avalanche a little after saving Xiangling and the others, and it would have been impossible to control the avalanche for three days like before.

There was a look of clarity in Wendy's eyes.

"It's that little brother, I didn't expect him to think about me."

"The Great Sage will repay his kindness, and he will naturally not forget your kindness to him. Before coming to Mondstadt, he asked me to thank you on his behalf. โ€

Wang Daoyi used you to address the other party, indicating that the identity he was talking to now was Barbatos.

"Thanks, haha, no, no need, just prepare some good wine for me next time I go to Liyue."

"You're welcome to Liyue, the old man is retired, so why don't you come and see him and have a meal together."

Wendy nodded thoughtfully, "Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru. Speaking of which, I haven't been out for a long time, so maybe it's time to go out and have a look. โ€

He is the wind of freedom, but it has not been blown away from Mondstadt for thousands of years.

While chatting, Xiangling brought over a tray

"Grilled fish is coming!"

Wendy hurriedly took it: "Wow, it smells so good." โ€

Pick up a skewer of grilled fish and stuff it into your mouth: "Well, it's delicious, if there is wine now, it will be even more perfect." โ€

As he spoke, he also looked at the small pot floating beside Wang Daoyi.

"You can smell that?"

With a hint of outrageous complaints, Wang Daoyi took out a few bottles with relatively ordinary packaging from the dust song pot.

"The sand coconut wine produced in the Sumeru Desert, let's try it."

Wendy was not polite and was the first to grab a bottle.

Then Xingqiu took a bottle and looked at Albedo: "Teacher Chalk, let's also drink a little to celebrate our cooperation." โ€

"Huh?" Wang Daoyi was a little strange, "Xingqiu, what are you cooperating with Albedo?" โ€

Xingqiu hesitated and did not answer.

Albedo, on the other hand, replied with a smile: "It's just some literary cooperation." โ€

"Literary collaboration?"

Wang Dao thought about it for a while, and then remembered the book that Xingqiu secretly wrote, and some memories surfaced again, showing a smile, it turned out to be this cooperation.

Everyone was like this, eating grilled fish, drinking wine, and chatting until the sun went down.

"It's a nice picnic, let me end it with poetry!"

Wendy stood up, and a harp appeared in his hand.

The poet plucks the strings gently

"The story we are going to sing today is the dark dragon"

"It was a long, long dream

He heard the singing and saw the green grass and the scent of the earth

He dreamed of singing with good people

Dance in the air with jewel-like dragons

Ah, the mountains roaring in the wind and snow

The green earth has been stained with fire and blood

The sound of the poet's lyre can no longer pass through the roar

The jeweled dragon pierced through him with its fangs

ยทยทยทยท

Goodbye, Mom, my journey is over

It's not bad to sleep in the snow, which shines like silver

Goodbye, beautiful poet, beautiful dragon

If only we could be in a different time and place

How nice it would be to meet, sing, and dance

ใ€‘

After the poet finished singing, he gave Wang Dao a look and then slipped away, while everyone set out on their way back to Mondstadt.
