"Yes."
"Sigh, I'm craving 'God Jumps Over the Wall' again."
"I want it too."
"It's about time for a couple more drinks, time to go to the internet cafe."
"Hmm...huh?"
At one point, Wendy and the Dragon King paused in their drinking, then looked towards the tavern entrance.
True Lord Li Shui and True Lord Xiao Yue belatedly realized what was happening and looked over together, whereupon they saw a familiar figure.
Xia Zhen?
No, the aura emanating from the other party is not as gentle as Xia Zhen's; instead, it is filled with a chilling killing intent.
It should be Xia Zhen's sister, Lei's movie.
Wendy smiled at the figure in the doorway, raised her glass in greeting, and said, "Hey! Long time no see!"
He did not call out Barzeb's real name in public, but only mouthed it silently.
But his words still attracted the attention of the other patrons in the tavern, drawing their gaze towards the doorway.
Then, someone in the tavern exclaimed in surprise, "General!"
Ying looked at everyone expressionlessly and said, "No need to panic, I'm just passing by."
After saying that, she walked towards Wendy's table.
The Dragon King raised his cup to her and smiled, "Long time no see."
Ying nodded slightly to him: "Long time no see."
The table was already full of four people. True Lord Lishui immediately stood up and sat down on the bench next to True Lord Xiaoyue, giving his seat to the new big shot.
"Please sit here!"
Ying sat down directly and said, "Thank you."
She was a martial artist, and her personality had always been so generous and natural; she never put on airs.
Lord Lishui quickly replied, "You're too kind!"
The True Lord of the Moon was also very sensible. He took a clean new cup and poured wine for the new big shot.
"Please drink this!"
"Thank you!"
"It should!"
Ying picked up her wine glass, took a sip, and casually asked, "Did you arrive this morning?"
Wendy laughed: "Yeah, we even had breakfast at the shrine and went shopping together during the day, it's a pity you weren't here."
Shadow nodded and said, "I'm at the castle tower, I didn't come."
The Dragon King nodded: "We know. If you really told us, why are you running out now?"
Ying said, "My sister has taken over the castle tower."
Wendy laughed and said, "Then you'll have it easy from now on."
After a brief chat, Shadow looked at Wendy and said, "I have a question I'd like to ask you."
Wendy, eating peanuts: "What's the problem?"
Shadow asked directly, "In your memory, has the Divine Cherry Tree always existed in Inazuma?"
Wendy paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well... what do you think?"
Shadow said, "I remember very clearly that there was no Divine Cherry Tree in Inazuma five hundred years ago. It appeared suddenly, but others don't seem to think so."
Wendy nodded and said, "You're right."
Ying's expression changed slightly, and she said, "So you do remember too. What about you, Dragon King?"
The Dragon King was also eating peanuts and said, "I was sealed away early, but I still remember that Inazuma didn't seem to have any divine cherry trees before..."
Ying's gaze shifted to the two True Lords, revealing a questioning expression.
The two True Lords exchanged a glance, their expressions showing some confusion: "Inazuma didn't have the Divine Cherry Tree before? Hasn't it always been there?"
The Dragon King glanced at it and said indifferently, "That just shows you two are too weak."
The two True Lords were speechless: "..."
Shadow withdrew her gaze and looked back at Wendy, a hint of confusion in her expression: "Since you two remember, why don't the Great Tree King and my sister remember..."
Wendy said meaningfully, "They may not necessarily not remember, they may just be unable to say."
Ying was taken aback: "Can't I say?"
Wendy stopped there: "The reasons for some things are not as important as their existence itself."
Ying looked down at the sake in her cup, her expression thoughtful.
The fact that the three earthly rulers are so tight-lipped suggests that the answer to the question is pretty much obvious.
That is a higher level of power.
And the entirety of Teyvat is a being that surpasses even the seven elemental gods...
Ying was silent for a while, then said, "You're right."
Wendy raised her glass: "Don't think too much about it. It's been a long time. Let's have a drink."
Ying drank two glasses with everyone.
Seeing that she still had the same expression, the Dragon King said, "If you find drinking boring, why don't we go outside and have a friendly spar?"
Ying raised an eyebrow slightly: "A sparring match?"
The Dragon King nodded: "Yes, when I heard that you had killed the giant serpent with a single strike, I felt an overwhelming fighting spirit within me. However, I was later affected by the [Wear and Wear] and was sealed underground, so I didn't have the chance to fight you. Now I finally have the opportunity."
This is one of the reasons why the Dragon King agreed to come to Inazuma to do the project.
Like Shadow, he is a pure martial artist who enjoys fighting against powerful opponents.
A flicker of memory flashed in Shadow's eyes: "The Great Serpent..."
The Dragon King looked at her, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and asked, "So? Shall we fight?"
Ying put down her cup and said crisply, "Hit."
The Dragon King laughed heartily and slammed his hand on the table: "Good! That's satisfying! Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow and the Dragon King disappeared.
Wendy also stood up, looking quite interested, and said, "Let's go, let's go see what's going on."
The two True Lords have no objection.
Battles between demon gods are rarely seen these days.
The two True Lords also stood up.
Although Wendy had said it was his treat when they came in for drinks, Risui Shin-kun still very considerately walked over to the counter and called out, "Boss, this table, please pay!"
Wendy's eyes immediately lit up with approval.
Money doesn't matter; what matters is the sentiment.
No wonder people say that the True Lord of Flowing Water and Stacked Mountains is wise both inside and out; he has indeed broadened his path.
As Wendy stepped out of the tavern, he summoned a gust of wind, leading the two True Lords to a stretch of sea.
A faint sense of powerful forces colliding from afar could be felt.
Looking at the swirling winds and lightning, Wendy said, "With your strength, watching from here is about enough. Getting any closer will only make you more vulnerable to being caught in the crossfire."
The two True Lords, being quite experienced, nodded and said, "Yes."
Wendy changed the subject and chuckled, "Just watching like this is boring, why don't we start a betting game and see who will win between the Dragon King and Balzeb?"
The Moon-Slicing True Lord pondered: "How much to bet?"
Wendy felt she had been drinking too much these past few days, and the money she made from selling the flower wreaths was almost gone, so she said, "Let's just gamble a few tens of thousands of Mora."
After thinking for a moment, True Lord Lishui said, "Isn't it a bit too lonely for just the three of us to gamble?"
Wendy looked at him and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
After careful consideration, True Lord Lishui said, "Why don't we create a small group and invite everyone who knows the identities of the Dragon King and the Thunder God to join and place bets?"
Wendy thought to herself, "It seems feasible."
True Monarch Li Shui whispered a reminder: "Mr. Xia is definitely interested in this kind of thing. Maybe we can bet on something like 'God Jumps Over the Wall'..."
Wendy's eyes lit up: "That makes sense! I was thinking about how to get my best friend to do [God Jump] again... but we might not be able to win this bet... Is there any way..."
The Moon-Slicing True Monarch said uncertainly in a low voice, "How about we throw the match?"
Wendy shook her head and said, "That won't do. Given the personalities of the Dragon King and Balzeb, they would never agree to something like that. Those two just enjoy the thrill of battle... But let's give it a try anyway."
After saying that, Wendy took out her phone and made a call to the Dragon King.
