Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 142 I can play with you all day long

The woman stared intently at the item in Lin Qiong's left hand, her brows furrowing involuntarily.

She turned to look at Wendy, anger surging in her eyes.

"Barbatos, do you know what you're doing?" the woman demanded sternly. "How could you entrust the Heart of God to a stranger?"

"Hehe."

Wendy blinked and deliberately dragged out her words, "I already said that I replaced the Heart of God with a bottle of fine wine long ago~".

“If you’re planning to come back, you might need to ask this friend for his opinion.” He gestured to Lin Qiong standing to the side.

"whispering sound."

The woman curled her lip in disdain, her eyes filled with contempt and disdain for Wendy.

She never imagined that Barbatos, known as the god of liberty, could be so "free".

Instead of managing his own country's affairs, He disguised himself as a bard and spent his days idly in Mondstadt.

Even the Heart of God, an extraordinary object that maintains a portion of His own authority, could be freely taken by Him to exchange for wine with others.

She simply couldn't understand this behavior.

But who would have thought that Wendy didn't care about any of that?

In His eyes, as long as the people of Mondstadt can continue to live freely and happily, the Heart of God is nothing more than a dispensable ornament...

at the same time.

After learning that God's heart was no longer with Wendy, the lady also lost her original interest and patience in Him.

She fixed her gaze on Lin Qiong, her sharp eyes flashing with a cold light.

"No matter what means you used to obtain the Heart of God, now, hand it over to me."

The woman extended her right hand, her cold words leaving no room for negotiation.

Judging from her posture, she was clearly prepared to snatch it at any moment.

"What if I don't pay?" Lin Qiong asked tentatively.

"Then don't even think about leaving Mondstadt!" The woman's lips curled into a cold smile, her voice carrying a strong sense of threat.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Qiong's next action made her pause slightly.

Without hesitation, he stuffed the Heart of God into his pocket, a gesture that conveyed a very clear message.

"If you want it... you'll have to earn it through your own abilities."

Ms. Lin Qiong beckoned with her finger, a provocative smile on her face.

To this day, he has not yet truly fought against anyone in this world.

Since arriving in this world, the only real combat Lin Qiong has experienced has been clearing out Hilichurls blocking his way.

As for the incident with Tvalin, it couldn't even be considered a battle.

Now that a rare opportunity to show off his abilities has presented itself, he naturally wants to seize it...

To avoid blowing up the square in Mondstadt and to ensure that the lady's life would not be endangered.

Lin Qiong decided to use his long-unused baseball bat to deal with this battle.

"Hmph, utterly arrogant." The woman snorted coldly, raising her hand to conjure a blizzard.

The sudden drop in temperature caused countless tiny ice crystals to condense in the air, and everything in the blizzard was covered with a thin layer of frost.

"Qiong!!!"

Seeing Lin Qiong being swallowed by the cold wind whipped up by the lady, his figure gradually becoming blurry, Ying and Paimon exclaimed with worry.

They witnessed the entire process of the Fool being frozen into an ice sculpture by the lady, and they were afraid that Lin Qiong would end up like that.

Paimon floated beside Ying, shaking her arm incessantly, his little face full of anxiety: "Ying, we have to think of something to save him..."

Before Paimon could finish speaking, Ying had already drawn upon the surrounding wind elemental forces, lowered her body, and charged straight at the lady.

But before she could run a few steps, several Fools dressed in black robes blocked her way.

They stood in a line, their weapons crossed, forming a human wall made of flesh and blood.

"Get out of the way!"

Driven by her eagerness to save lives, Ying's eyes instantly sharpened. Without stopping, the compressed wind elemental power exploded in her hands, unleashing an astonishing force.

Under the impact of the wind elemental force, the Fools who formed the human wall were instantly blasted away.

at the same time.

Powerful air currents churned in the air, stirring up dust and gravel that obscured everyone's view.

Just when Ying thought she could take this opportunity to rush over.

Another group of fools surged toward them, forming another human wall with their bodies.

Faced with the resistance of the Fools, Ying is unlikely to break the current stalemate in a short time, thus preventing the Lady from continuing her attack on Lin Qiong...

However, at that moment...

In the midst of a raging blizzard.

Lin Qiong's calm voice pierced through the wind and rang clearly in everyone's ears.

"The wind is actually quite refreshing, but it does block the view a bit."

Upon hearing the sound, everyone stopped what they were doing and stood frozen in place.

"This is impossible!!"

The woman, in particular, widened her eyes instantly, her face filled with disbelief.

To her utter surprise, Lin Qiong remained completely unaffected by the power she had been granted by the Empress.

Just as the woman was shocked, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged into her heart.

She instinctively flinched backward.

"call--"

Almost simultaneously, a bat emitting blue light crashed down with a whooshing sound, creating a powerful gust of air.

"boom!!"

The baseball bat grazed the woman's face and slammed heavily onto the ground in front of her.

The frost-covered ground cracked open with countless spiderweb-like fissures under the force of the impact.

Dust and gravel flew everywhere as the cracks spread. The woman was so startled by the force that she took several steps back, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at Lin Qiong.

How did you do that?

After stepping back several steps, the woman asked with a serious expression.

She still couldn't understand why Lin Qiong was unaffected by the ice elemental force.

Moreover, this is not ordinary ice elemental power; it is ice elemental power infused with a portion of the Winter Queen's authority, and its powerful force can even freeze gods.

However, she didn't know that.

Under the influence of the star core of Yalilo-6, Lin Qiong's body is often kept in an ultra-low temperature state, almost equivalent to a humanoid ice slime.

As long as ice elemental force attacks him, the final result will only be "immunity".

"Who knows?" Lin Qiong shrugged, then skillfully twirled his bat, performing a long-unseen flourish. "Want the Heart of God again? I can play with you all day long."

Upon hearing this, the woman's expression changed slightly.

She originally intended to keep a low profile as much as possible and try to obtain the Heart of God before the Knights of Favonius became aware of it.

However, with the unexpected addition of Lin Qiong, things gradually became more complicated.

She wasn't sure if she could get the Heart of God from Lin Qiong without unleashing all her power.

After much deliberation, she decisively issued the order to the Fools who were engaged in battle with the Fire: "Retreat!"

Upon hearing this, the group of fools quickly helped up their fallen companions and followed the woman out of the square.
