Chapter 33 Tivat People: Is this Natasha perhaps Luo Feng's girlfriend?
"Barbara's attack is actually that powerful!?"
"She actually dealt with the Blaze Out of Space in one go!"
"Damn it, couldn't that guy Luo Feng have warned us earlier?"
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have had such a hard time fighting."
Paimon snapped back to reality from the fact that Barbara had defeated the Blaze Out of Space with one blow.
She angrily spoke to the large pit created by the Blaze Out of Space's explosion.
"It was my own failure to think of how to use this power, it's not Mr. Luo Feng's fault."
"And, I think the reason Mr. Luo Feng didn't tell us at first"
"was to test us."
Barbara shook her head and said.
As soon as she finished speaking,
Barbara's body went limp and she fell forward.
Jean quickly helped her up.
"Are you alright, Barbara?"
Jean asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, I just accidentally used too much power, so I'm a bit exhausted."
"After resting for a bit, I'll be fine."
"You don't need to worry, Sister."
Barbara shook her head.
"Thanks to Barbara, the troublesome enemies are gone."
"Now you should rest well, and leave the rest to us."
Lumine stood in front of Barbara and Jean, confidently pointing her sword at the remaining 3 Incineration Shadewalkers.
Jean, Klee, and even Hook also raised their weapons.
The difficult monster had been dealt with.
Lumine and the others didn't pay any mind to the remaining three Incineration Shadewalkers.
Even without Barbara's Abundance Power support.
Everyone believed they could handle them too.
Just as the few of them were about to finish off the remaining enemies in one go.
Suddenly, three cannonballs, accompanied by the sound of artillery, fell from the sky.
They landed on three Incineration Shadewalkers respectively.
The powerful force actually shattered them on the spot.
Acting Grand Master Jean: "Hmm? Where did those cannonballs come from?"
Traveler: "So powerful, they shattered these guys in one go."
Barbara: "Is it someone helping us?"
"Could it be Luo Feng brother made a move?" Klee blinked, looking at Hook beside her:
"Hook, why do you look unwell?"
"Does your stomach hurt?"
Klee asked with some confusion.
"That's the old witch's weapon, the old witch is coming."
Hook said nervously.
"Old witch?"
Klee tilted her head in confusion.
"Hook, you recognize the previous shelling?"
Paimon asked curiously.
"Mm, I won't be mistaken."
"That's the old witch's howitzer."
"She must be here to catch me, no, I have to leave quickly."
Hook said anxiously.
"Hook, don't worry, everyone will protect you."
"I'll help too."
"No matter how scary that old witch is, you'll be fine."
Paimon patted her chest and said confidently.
"No, you have no idea how scary the old witch is."
Hook shook her head and said.
"Old witch... are you talking about me?"
A familiar voice sounded behind Hook, instantly making her tense up.
Klee, Acting Grand Master Jean, and Traveler turned around and saw Luo Feng and Natasha walking over.
However, upon seeing the two holding hands.
Acting Grand Master Jean, Traveler, Barbara, and the others showed strange looks.
"This is the old witch?"
"Not old at all... Huh!"
Paimon was speaking when Natasha's gaze fell upon her.
For some reason, Paimon swallowed the remaining two words, "witch", back down."
"So, so scary eyes."
Paimon muttered softly.
"Who told you to not control your mouth."
Traveler said, putting her hands on her hips.
Hearing this, Paimon wanted to retort, but in the end, she couldn't voice the words in her heart.
"No... no, what I just said was Natasha sister."
Hook mechanically turned her little head, looking at Natasha, who had walked closer, with a fearful expression.
"Forget it, this time I'll assume I misheard."
Natasha shook her head and said.
Hearing this, Hook raised her head in surprise.
If it were before, if Natasha heard her call her an old witch.
She would inevitably be lectured by Natasha.
This time, Natasha let her off so easily.
This was truly unexpected for Hook.
What Hook didn't know was that Natasha was currently in an extremely happy state because of the good news Luo Feng brought.
Naturally, she was much more lenient towards Hook.
"However, we can skip the matter of the name."
"But the matter of you participating in a dangerous battle, we cannot skip."
"Hook, we should have agreed that you cannot use the Diggertron for dangerous things, right."
Natasha said seriously.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Hook knows she was wrong."
Hook lowered her head and said in a low voice.
"Go back to the clinic and reflect properly."
"If there's a next time, I'll have to consider taking back the Diggertron in your hand."
Natasha said.
Hearing this, Hook buried her head even lower.
Alice: What a serious lady, it seems this lady named Natasha is Hook's guardian.
Kaeya: Somehow I see the shadow of Acting Grand Master Jean and Klee in Miss Natasha and Hook.
Lisa: It seems behind every lovely little girl, there's a serious older sister.
But more than that, I'm more curious about the relationship between Luo Feng and this Miss Natasha now.
Dehya: This Natasha has been holding Luo Feng's hand tightly, could they be a couple?
Yae Miko: If the two are really a couple, perhaps becoming friends with this Natasha makes it more likely to get Luo Feng's help.
Perhaps, there might be a greater chance of getting the opportunity to board Luo Feng's Astral Express later.
Lisa: If the two are really a couple, that would be too bad, I was quite interested in Luo Feng.
Alice: Perhaps they just know each other, Miss Lisa should still have a chance. For Mondstadt, go win over Luo Feng, hehe.
Lisa: Thank you for your encouragement, Miss Alice, I will try my best.But compared to my matters here, let's first pray that Acting Grand Master Jean and Barbara can become good friends with this Natasha.
Mondstadt.
Good Hunter restaurant
"You didn't really fall for this Luo Feng, did you?"
Mona asked curiously, looking at Lisa who was leisurely enjoying her meal opposite her."
"I don't deny that I'm quite interested in Luo Feng."
"After all, mysterious people always attract people's attention, don't they?"
Lisa smiled.
"That's true, that man is indeed quite intriguing."
"My astrology can't predict anything related to him at all."
Mona said with a hint of distress.
"However, even though there are many intriguing and curious things about Luo Feng."
"That's not enough to make you fall for him, is it?"
Mona asked curiously.
"Perhaps it's because he helped Mondstadt defend against the dragon disaster."
"Perhaps it's because he helped Barbara embark on a Path, making Mondstadt stronger."
"Perhaps it's because he possesses the ability to lead more Mondstadt out of Teyvat."
"So, I've developed a slight fondness for him in my heart."
Lisa shrugged and said leisurely.
Mona: "Are you serious? I thought you were just saying that casually on the forum."
Lisa smiled and said:
"It is casual, but that doesn't mean I won't genuinely fall for Luo Feng."
"After all these years, he's the only man who has made me want to investigate him."
"Isn't there a saying, when a woman becomes curious about a man, it might be the beginning of love.
"Mona: "Undeniable, but I don't think someone as rational as you would believe such words."
"Who knows." Lisa's lips curved slightly upwards as she looked at Natasha displayed on the live stream screen.
"Or perhaps, I was too concerned about the woman holding hands with Luo Feng, which is why I said those words."
Lisa said."This woman named Natasha?"
"Speaking of which, your voices are quite similar."
"That's strange."
Mona said.
Lisa smiled casually and refocused her attention on Luo Feng.
'Demanding too much knowledge from the gods of Teyvat requires careful consideration of whether one can afford the corresponding price.'
'Sumeru's approach of craving World Tree knowledge is absolutely not advisable.'
'The knowledge contained within a Vision is the same. A Vision grants mortals the power to change their lives, but the price is still unclear.'
'Compared to the knowledge behind the World Tree and the Vision, the knowledge from beyond the Universe that Luo Feng can access seems much safer.'
'Luo Feng also seems trustworthy.'
'The Power of Destiny also has many astonishing aspects.'
'Through the Path and the knowledge from the Universe, perhaps I can truly understand the truth behind the Vision and the World Tree.'
Lisa murmured to herself, thinking back to her conversation with Luo Feng when she guided him around Mondstadt.
Lisa: "Luo Feng, why do you want to lead Tivat People to see the Universe outside Teyvat? Someone like you shouldn't really need Teyvat's mora, right?"
Luo Feng: "It seems Miss Lisa is quite worried about my intentions. Don't worry, I have no ill will towards Teyvat. Being a guide is my hobby."
Lisa: "Is that all?"
Luo Feng:
"Of course not, I also look forward to seeing what the Tivat People will be like after they embark on a Path."
Lisa: "And why is that?"
Luo Feng smiled mysteriously and said:
"The Teyvat Continent is surrounded by a false sky; the Tivat People have no idea what the real starry sky is."
"That's too much of a shame."
Lisa: "False sky?"
Hearing a term she had never heard before, Lisa's beautiful brows furrowed tightly.
Lisa: "You mean, the starry sky we usually see is false?"
Luo Feng nodded slightly and said:
"Exactly! Although the false sky can be considered a form of protection for Teyvat."
"But in my opinion, this protection is a bit too weak."
Luo Feng looked up at the sky.
His eyes seemed to pierce through the clouds, through the sky, reaching the false sky surrounding Teyvat.
"This protection cannot withstand threats from the Universe."
"Let alone galaxy-level threats.""
Even Planet-level threats, Teyvat probably can't handle."
"The reason why the Teyvat Continent is still safe now."
"Is simply because the Teyvat Continent is sufficiently remote in the Universe."
"And the false sky has a certain concealing effect."
"However, the false sky won't exist forever, and threats from the Universe will eventually set their sights on the Teyvat Continent."
"By then, relying solely on the Vision, the Tivat People shouldn't expect to resist those threats from the Universe."
"Even the Seven Gods would be quite powerless against threats from the Universe."
"So I think, letting the Tivat People come into contact with The Power of Destiny before the crisis arrives might be a good idea."
Luo Feng said.
......
Chapter 34: Jean and Klee, Natasha and Hook; Different People, Similar Situations
"So, you want to help the Tivat People?"
Lisa asked curiously.
"In a way, yes, after all, I quite like the Teyvat Continent."
"Likewise, I quite like some of the people here."
Luo Feng gave Lisa a meaningful look.
At least, he was quite fond of characters like Lisa who had accompanied him in playing the Genshin game and brought him many good memories.
"Of course, I will only help those who are fated with me."
Luo Feng smiled.
"Miss Lisa, you might not believe what I'm saying right now."
"But that's alright."
"Coincidentally, the place I'm going to take everyone next is a place currently facing the risk of world destruction."
"Just use your eyes to confirm whether Teyvat could survive if it faced the threat that Belobog is facing."
Luo Feng smiled.
"A place currently facing the risk of world destruction?"
"Then, if we travel there, will we be safe?"
Lisa asked.
"With me here, everyone will naturally be safe."
Luo Feng smiled.
After hearing what Luo Feng said, Lisa's beautiful brows furrowed tightly, as if she had fallen into deep thought.
And by the time Lisa came back to her senses and wanted to continue asking Luo Feng, he had already walked several meters away.
Seeing this, Lisa quickly sped up and came to Luo Feng's side, grabbing one of his hands.
Lisa: "Luo Feng, I still have some questions."
Luo Feng: "Let's stop talking about this topic here, Miss Lisa."
Lisa smiled: "Don't say that, we still have plenty of time, don't we?"
Luo Feng: "But right now, I'd rather focus on touring Mondstadt."
"Really not?" Lisa asked with a look of seeking knowledge.
"Even if you look at me with those watery eyes, my answer will be the same."
"If you want to know more, go to the Universe, Miss Lisa."
"If you can obtain some knowledge from the Universe, if you can embark on the Path of Erudition."
"Perhaps, your questions can be answered."
Luo Feng paused, then smiled mysteriously at Lisa:
"If you can step onto the Path of Erudition, perhaps you can not only answer questions about the Universe."
"It's also possible you could answer the questions about Vision, the World Tree, and the gods of Teyvat."
Upon hearing this, Lisa's heart suddenly raced, feeling as though Luo Feng had seen right through her.
As a rare top student from Sumeru in two hundred years, Lisa had acquired a vast amount of knowledge.
But the more she learned, the more she worried.
After witnessing the scholars who babbled madly in the Sumeru rainforest and the wise men in the council who seemed to possess great wisdom.
Lisa deeply understood the price one had to pay for seeking knowledge from the World Tree.
After learning about the hidden mysteries behind Vision, Lisa also gradually felt fear towards the truth behind it.
These matters hidden deep within her heart should not have been known to outsiders.
But Luo Feng clearly pointed them out.
This couldn't help but make Lisa concerned.
She even temporarily overlooked the new Aeon, 'Erudition,' that Luo Feng had mentioned.
"I've said a bit too much unnecessary stuff today."
"Next, I'll trouble our guide Lisa to show me around Mondstadt properly."
"Oh, and please don't reveal what we talked about today to others."
"At least, not yet."
Luo Feng said to Lisa meaningfully.
"Alright, if that's what you request, Luo Feng, I will comply," Lisa said with a smile.
"By the way, are you hungry? How about I take you to the Good Hunter restaurant to try some of Mondstadt's delicious food?"
With that, Lisa took Luo Feng's hand and headed towards the Good Hunter restaurant.
...
Time returns to the present.
Mondstadt.
'If the price required to step onto a Path is truly just simply giving Luo Feng some mora and satisfying some of his interests.'
'Then this price is not unacceptable.'
'But everything, perhaps, still needs to wait until I truly meet a Aeon to be confirmed.'
'However, even if Luo Feng is hiding something, he shouldn't have any ill intentions, right?'
Lisa looked at Luo Feng's performance in the live stream, a relieved smile appearing on her face.
'Before I meet a Aeon, I can chat with Barbara and the others about Aeon of Abundance first.'
'And the Erudition Aeon... I forgot to ask last time, I must ask Luo Feng about it properly next time.'
Lisa thought to herself.
......
Belobog Lower District.
Jean watched Natasha disciplining Hook and couldn't help but look at Klee.
In Natasha, she somehow saw a reflection of herself.
And Klee, seeing the wronged Hook, also seemed to see a reflection of herself being caught by Acting Grand Master Jean for bombing fish.
A feeling of mutual sympathy instantly surged into Klee's heart.
She came to Hook's side, raised her head, and said to Natasha:
"Sister Natasha, please don't blame Hook."
"Hook joined the fight to help us."
Jean also stepped forward and said:
"Indeed, we owe Hook thanks for the help earlier."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten out of trouble so easily."
A woman who could easily shatter three Incineration Shadewalkers and was so close to Luo Feng.
Jean dared not be negligent.
"So that's how it is, then let's let it go this time."
Natasha said.
She hadn't intended to blame Hook much anyway.
Since someone was speaking up for her now, she took the opportunity to cancel Hook's punishment.
"Speaking of which, who are these people?"
Natasha looked at Lumine and the others curiously and asked.
"These are the people I brought."
"They are my guests, I guess."
Luo Feng said at the right time.
"Since you are Luo Feng's guests, you are also my guests."
"I am Natasha, and I own a clinic in Belobog Lower District."
"If any of you need anything, you can come to me for help."
After hearing Luo Feng's words, Natasha's face immediately showed a warm smile.
Then she even cast a healing spell on Jean and the others.
Although none of them had any injuries thanks to Barbara's healing power.
Under the abundant Bounty Power of Natasha.
Everyone's bodies instantly felt much lighter.
Especially Barbara, who was also a Pathstrider of the Path of Abundance.
She even felt that the Bounty Power within her seemed to have recovered somewhat.
Jean, Barbara, and the others quickly thanked Natasha.
"Natasha is not only a doctor but also possesses considerable combat power."
"Although she is on the path of abundance."
"In terms of combat power alone, she is even slightly stronger than you, Barbara."
Luo Feng said at the right time.
"Indeed, is Miss Natasha also a Pathstrider?"J
ean sighed with emotion.
Paimon: "And, she's an Abundance Pathstrider just as amazing as Barbara."
Lumine: "Being able to easily take care of those Incineration Shadewalkers, it makes me want to step onto a Path even more."
