"Hey! How is it? Is it working?"
"Hmm... It seems like it is, and it seems like it isn't. It's not very obvious."
"Is that so... It's been half an hour and there's no effect. Is this curse really that difficult to deal with?" Barbara leaned against the wall, her delicate feet in white stockings on Orion's back, her tone a bit frustrated.
Orion lay on the bed, his voice muffled: "Don't be too frustrated, Barbara. This is just something I heard through the grapevine. But thank you anyway, I feel much more relaxed now!"
This was the truth; if you had your back stepped on for half an hour, you'd feel relaxed too.
Orion's original intention was to tell Barbara that this method might be false, but the kind Barbara only heard the latter part: "Really! As long as it makes you feel relaxed, that's good. However, the full moon night seems to be approaching soon, so you should still come to me for a session every day."
Orion lay on the bed, his pupils shaking. He felt Barbara's silk-like stockings, still damp with a hint of moisture, and the pair of tender feet, small enough to be held in one hand, on his back. He also recalled Barbara's angelic smile.
No, he must protect this smile!
"Then I'll trouble you in the future."
"No problem at all~"
Barbara smiled, intending to jump off Orion, but unexpectedly, her foot slipped, and she fell!
But before she could even gasp, Orion had already unleashed a Anemo element attack, and the gentle breeze held Barbara's body, gently lowering her.
Sitting on Orion's strong and powerful core muscles (referring to his lower back), Barbara let out a long sigh.
"You must be tired from stepping for so long, right? Take a rest," Orion said, concerned.
Barbara let out a long breath, patting her small chest to calm down: "Th-thank you... I'm so sorry, I was supposed to be treating you, but instead, you saved me."
Orion wanted to shake his head, but his current posture made it impossible, so he simply said: "Don't mention it. You first healed my injuries with your Hydro Ring (though I injured myself), and then you tried to lift the curse for me. You must have expended too much power doing so.
My Anemo element power can nourish the body, so you should rest well. I feel like you sisters are exactly alike, both are extremely selfless givers."
Barbara was startled upon hearing this: "You know my sister?"
"You mean Jean, the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, right?" Orion replied with a smile: "We just came from the Knights of Favonius, and she should be accompanying my traveling companion to find a place for us to stay now.
The moment I saw you, I thought you two sisters looked quite alike. After observing a bit, I basically confirmed you were sisters."
This was the transmigator's brazenness (hands on hips).
As long as what I say is reasonable, then I am speaking the truth.
Barbara smiled gently: "Actually, I thought you looked a lot like my sister, which is why I wanted to treat you properly. I didn't expect you and my sister to know each other.
Then don't worry! I will definitely help you cure your werewolf curse... Eh? Werewolf?"
Barbara seemed to remember something: "I recall there are some werewolf legends around Wolvendom. Did you come from there?"
Orion was startled; how could his casually fabricated lie have corresponding real-world elements?
But then he quickly recalled that this was most likely referring to his big brother, Razor.
So he quickly replied: "No, no, I actually went to explore there to find if there were any of my kind, but that wasn't a werewolf, it was a wolf-child!
That was a child who was abandoned in Wolvendom since childhood and raised by the wolves of Wolvendom, so their behavior is just similar to wolves!
Barbara, please don't go around lifting curses for others! I'm the only one on Teyvat with this curse!"
"Oh, don't worry! I'll only step on you!" Barbara laughed helplessly, but then she felt a bit puzzled, wondering if something felt off.
However, the news about Razor that Barbara just mentioned gave Orion a reminder.
The Wolf of the North, Boreas, the consciousness reborn after the ancient Anemo Archon Andrius sacrificed himself and his power merged into the leylines.
Orion was actually curious about the ecology of the Gods in Teyvat. Now that he had initially taken on a human form, Orion had basically never deliberately used his true body's power except for the battle with Skirk. Although he hadn't sealed his power, he didn't feel it was necessary to flaunt it casually.
His main purpose in coming here was to learn how to use the black power in the universe—that is, Abyssal Power. So, learning how to use the local Light Realm power and Human Realm power seemed like a good idea too.
Currently, he only knew that Gods were species formed when Teyvat creatures obtained fragments of the Great King Fa. And Orion's true form, the Giant Spider, could even devour and contain the deities of other star systems, and also simulate their powers. So, studying the authority of Gods, Light Realm power, and Human Realm power, starting with Boreas, might be an excellent approach.
To defeat Surtalogi, relying solely on his inherent powers and those devoured from other star systems was not enough. He ultimately needed to understand the source of Surtalogi's power, which was Abyssal Power—the nature of Void Realm Power—and truly learn how to wield it.
Similarly, he believed that Teyvat's local Light Realm power, which could to some extent contend with Void Realm Power, also warranted some research.
Moreover, if he could really imitate Boreas's power, it's possible that Venti, that guy, might taste it and find it lacking, and then he might just show up.
Just then, Orion's cheek was suddenly poked by a finger: "Are you alright? Why did you suddenly stop responding?"
"Huh?" Poked awake by Barbara, Orion looked a bit embarrassed: "I zoned out, sorry. Did you say something just now?"
"I asked if you wanted me to show you around Mondstadt City? It must be your first time here, right?"
Hmm? If you say that, then I'm not sleepy anymore.
Meeting Barbara always brings good luck.
Orion immediately agreed: "Then I'll trouble you! Oh, by the way, could you also take me to a tavern, or any other place where bards might be performing? I'm looking for someone."
Barbara smiled sweetly: "No problem!"
Then, suddenly realizing something, she hastily put on her white shoes and stood up: "I'm so sorry! It was too comfortable sitting there, I actually forgot to stand up!"
Orion also got up with a smile.
Actually, it doesn't matter if you forget
.
.
.
"So you're actually little Klee's older brother?!"
"Yes, but Klee herself probably doesn't know about it. We've never met."
On the paved stone road, Orion and Barbara walked, each holding and eating an ice cream cone.
By the roadside, many of Barbara's fans peeked and looked over.
No other reason, they were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and the atmosphere was too much like a date.
But in reality, the two were just touring Mondstadt City.
After visiting many taverns, Orion still hadn't found the singing Anemo God, but he wasn't in a hurry to use his true form's various awesome divine abilities. Why rush the main story? Wouldn't it be better to spend this time doing Hangout Events with the beautiful girls of Mondstadt?
By the way, the Hangout Event section has also changed. It seems every character has a Hangout Event, but the content is not fixed.
Simply put, as long as you take a suitable stroll or go on a date, you can get Primogems.
As for Venti... that guy, as soon as he runs out of money for drinks, he'll definitely go to the cathedral plaza to sing.
Just then—
"Get out of the way, quickly, get out of the way!"
A familiar voice came from high in the sky, and Orion instinctively reacted: "Danger!"
He shouted, shielding Barbara behind him to prevent the delicate priestess from being knocked down, then reached out his hands and caught Amber, who was falling from the sky, in a princess carry.
Amber: ???
Barbara: !!!
Orion: ...Why can't I control my hands!.
