Genshin Impact: The Sage's Disciple Doesn't Want Fame

Page 129

Looking at Gan Yu again, her senior sister's face was already flushed, and she seemed to be steaming.

There's no way around it. Even though we've hugged many times in private, this is the first time I've been stared at like this.

"Senior Sister Gan Yu? My beloved senior sister, are you still conscious?"

Well, aside from her face getting even redder, she didn't react at all. It seems she was just too shy.

Chapter 164 The Wind Sprite Seeks Refuge with Ji Ming

"Wendy, why do you always like to show up in the bathroom, and always when I'm halfway through my shower?"

Tell me, Wendy, are you lusting after my body?

Submerging his body beneath the foamy surface of the water, Ji Ming stared warily at Wendy, his tone serious: "Sorry, I don't do gay stuff."

Two days have passed since the incident on the dock street. In the morning, Bu Yun paid a visit, bringing with him a large number of incompetent officials, including the official in charge of the immigration program.

Thanks to Tianquan Star's intelligence network, Ji Ming had all the evidence against them. He originally planned to take action and kill them directly, but when he thought of his senior sister's careful guidance, he gave up the idea.

Ji Ming asked his third and eighth brothers to arrest those officials. As for when to bring them to justice, he set the timeframe after all the immigrants had arrived in Guili County. He planned to hold a just public trial.

There's no other way; he doesn't have an army at his disposal right now, so he can only rely on his sworn brothers. I wonder if he'll be able to build his own army after Guili County is established.

"Make a sound, Grandpa Zhongli."

There are two purposes for the public trial.

First, it was to appease the people. The immigrants had been oppressed for a long time, and now they lived in constant fear. They needed the heads of those officials to put their minds at ease.

Secondly, political credibility is established. As the saying goes, a person without credibility cannot stand. A government without integrity will lose its legitimacy. Ji Ming will use the heads of officials to strengthen the credibility and prestige of the Guili County government.

After the public trial, Ji Ming will fulfill his promise. The Mora owed by the Liyue Harbor government will be borne by the Guili County government. Not only will the Mora be compensated, but the allocation of real estate will also need to be put on the agenda.

In short, Ji Ming was full of energy. He planned to take a good shower and then go all out tomorrow. Unexpectedly, a Wendy suddenly appeared in the bathroom and almost punched him.

"Stop playing dead, speak up."

Wendy lay on the edge of the bathtub, head down and silent. Just as Ji Ming was about to reach out to probe, the girl suddenly raised her head, burst into the bathtub with snot and tears streaming down her face, hugged him and started wailing.

"Amin, have you forgotten something? Don't be a scumbag who just pulls up his pants and runs away!!"

Ji Ming was shocked and struggled to get up, splashing water everywhere: "What the hell? Get up first."

Wendy cried out, "No! Blow away all the snow in Mondstadt first, or I won't get up!"

"Are you even thinking straight? It's already February. Even if Mondstadt is closer to the north, it shouldn't still be snowing, right?"

"You idiot Armin, the Heart of the Wind God is with you. Only you can change the landscape of Mondstadt. You've been doing nothing for the past few months, and Mondstadt is almost buried in snow!"

Annoyed by Wendy's cries, Ji Ming said with a look of disgust, "So, you really made me the Wind God?"

Wendy's bard's robes were soaked, but she didn't care and continued to cry out to Ji Ming, "Blow the snow away first!"

"Okay, okay, teach me how to play it."

Venti is so noisy. I don't think he's ever been this noisy before. Does the Heart of God have the effect of increasing intelligence? If Venti loses the Heart of God, he'll turn into a stupid wind sprite who just keeps saying "Eh-heh-heh"?

Under Wendy's patient guidance, Ji Ming used his telekinesis to disperse all the snow on the Mondstadt borders, and the wind sprite finally stopped crying.

“Explain it, Wendy.”

"Hey."

"Get out of here, if you have nothing else to do, hurry up and leave, I still need to take a shower."

"I'm giving Amin a back rub."

Wendy snatched the bath towel, not caring about being wet, and went around behind Ji Ming to scrub him vigorously, making him wince in pain.

"Stop, stop, stop, I'm really fed up with you," Ji Ming said helplessly. "I'm not blaming you. Tell me the truth, am I the Wind God now?"

Wendy chuckled sheepishly and put down the bath towel: "Yes, but there's a perk to it. I gave Armin the whole of Mondstadt. Aren't you happy, Armin?"

Ji Ming's face darkened: "Happy my foot! I can't even manage one Guili County, and you want me to manage the entire Mondstadt?"

"Let them continue to graze freely. We just need to take care of Mondstadt's terrain and weather from time to time."

Without continuing the topic, Ji Ming pulled Wendy out of the bathtub, relaxed, and leaned against the edge of the tub: "Why were you so sad just now?"

It's all because of you that I'm about to be cursed to death by the Mondstadt people!

Unusually, Wendy felt annoyed with Ji Ming. The Mondstadt people had no idea that Mondstadt had a new wind god. As the snow accumulated more and more, their initial doubts turned into anger.

There was no way around it; it disrupted their normal lives, so even Barbara had to grumble about Barbatos.

The problem is, Barbatos isn't the god of wind, so why is everyone cursing at the statue of Barbatos?!

Wendy felt wronged. He thought Ji Ming had only put it aside temporarily, but he didn't expect that the child had completely forgotten about Mondstadt and hadn't blown away the snow for months.

Unable to resist, Venti ran straight to Liyue Harbor and caught Ji Ming in the bathroom.

"Because Amin is an idiot."

"Wendy is an idiot."

"No, Wendy will definitely beat Armin in no time."

"Second Hair!"

The two bickered like children until the water cooled down, at which point Ji Ming finally gave up: "Since we're already here, why don't we stay for a few days?"

Wendy readily agreed: "Great! I came here to rely on you."

Ji Ming looked bewildered: "You came to me for help? Didn't you come here to urge me to blow away the snow?"

"No, Qin knows my past identity. She still thinks I'm the Wind God. Because of the snow, she comes over to glare at me every day after work. I just can't stand it."

"Oh wow, you've really worked hard."

"It's okay, you can take care of it from now on anyway."

"Alright then, anyway, the Mondstadt people are cursing Barbatos."

The two looked at each other and decided to stop hurting each other.

As he got up and dried himself off, Ji Ming casually asked, "How is Ying?"

Wendy asked curiously, "That's good. I reckon she'll be coming to Liyue Harbor soon. Do you like Luminous?"

"I like you."

"That's great! I can live off Amin now, how wonderful!"

Ji Ming strongly suspects that Wendy's problem isn't that she can't stand being insulted by the Mondstadt people, but rather that she simply wants to live off a woman.

Chapter 165 The Wind Sprite is No Longer Worn

Since moving into the courtyard house, Wendy has been living a blissful life of being a kept woman, going out to get completely drunk every day and then crawling back home with a chuckle.

Incidentally, all the Mora that Wendy spent on selling alcohol came from Ji Ming's personal savings.

Ji Ming didn't care about Wendy's freeloading behavior. She had given him the Heart of God and the Eye of God and had helped him many times. What was wrong with letting her live off him?

The only annoying thing is that Wendy always starts her fight with an "eh-heh" when she comes back, just like a husband who has gone out to fool around and then comes back to his senses, which always makes Ji Ming's fists harden.

I wonder how long Venti will stay. He said he came to seek refuge, but he might disappear one day. After all, he's a wind spirit. Without the constraints of his status as the wind god, it wouldn't be surprising if Venti appeared anywhere.

Yes, that includes Ji Ming's bathroom as well.

Without the constraints of his identity as the Anemo Archon, Wendy is no longer Barbatos; he is just an ordinary bard.

To be honest, if Wendy really decides to rely on Ji Ming and live off him forever, Ji Ming will never get tired of it. As long as he has food to eat, Wendy will never go hungry.

This is the young emperor's composure; with the world in his heart, a mere wind spirit is not something he can't afford to raise...

It's really too much to feed. The wind sprite's stomach is probably a bottomless pit. Ji Ming watched Wendy eat three big bowls of rice, but her stomach didn't change at all. It's a bit scary to think about.

"Won't they eat us out of house and home? If they do, Ji Ming will sell Wendy to the Church of the West Wind."

Wendy, let's work to pay off our debts!

"Work to pay off your debts, Wendy!"

"No, no, no! I've already come all this way to stay with Amin, why do I need to go out and work again!"

When Ji Ming revealed his plan, Wendy showed strong resistance, whining and rolling around on the bed, messing up the bedding.

Ji Ming said expressionlessly, "There's nothing I can do. You eat too much. I can't afford to support you right now."

"Qiqi ate quite a lot too!"

"Qiqi is my daughter, so what are you to me?"

"Well……"

Wendy thought carefully, then smiled. He suddenly had a good idea. He reached for the pair of men's white stockings on the bedside table, held them to his chest and pulled hard, showing a pitiful expression.

"Ah Ming, didn't you confess your feelings to me a few days ago? As long as I don't have to go out to work, you can do whatever you want."

Ji Ming said mercilessly, "I want you to go out and find a job."

Wendy got angry, threw the white stockings into Jim's arms, and complained loudly, "Ah Ming has no conscience!"

"Don't make noise. Qiqi is doing her homework in the lobby next door. Don't disturb my daughter's studies."
