Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Chapter 788 The Bullied Melusin

Caterpillar's true identity undoubtedly left Kong completely bewildered.

After all, ever since he started traveling the continent, the Hilichurls, who didn't speak his language and had strange behavior, had always seemed rather unintelligent to him.

But this Katarina not only speaks clearly and emotionally, but also possesses this amazing transformation ability, which completely overturned his normal understanding of Hilichurls.

Could this person's true identity actually be a pure water spirit? Able to transform into anything?

If you leave it blank, you might overthink it.

Katarpira pulled a ball-shaped object from the pouch on his waist, infused it with wind element, and suddenly a giant slime swelled up in his hand.

It turned out to be a blue wind-type slime.

Two small wings flapped, and with the support of the wind, they easily carried Caterpillar across to the other side.

Xu Ning patted Kong on the shoulder, "Don't just stand there, let's go."

With the gentle breeze carrying them, the three easily crossed the wide strait and landed directly on the island that Erinas's enormous body had transformed into.

Once she landed, Caterpillar returned to her childlike figure.

This caused Paimon, who came out of the pot to watch the commotion, to exclaim in surprise.

Xu Ning looked at the little white-haired creature in mid-air, whose figure was even smaller than Katarina's, and wondered what it was so excited about.

On their way to the heart, the group passed by Erinas's skull. Sora, out of curiosity, went over to test it and found that there was indeed a current warmer than the seawater gushing out from it.

If we go in from here, it will probably be very difficult.

"Below that small lake is near the heart of Erinas, we... um?"

As soon as Caterpillar pointed there, he saw a sight that made his blood boil.

Three tall humans, two men and one woman, were surrounding a tiny Melusin, seemingly shouting and cursing at her.

Little Melusin neither resisted nor spoke, but simply buried her head and let her arms hang down, looking like she was being bullied.

Katarina always seemed to have extra concern for weak creatures, and upon seeing this scene, she immediately became furious, muttering something like a spell.

But someone beside him was faster, dashing out almost like a flash of lightning.

"Hey! What are you guys doing?"

This sudden movement startled not only the three people on the other side, but even Katrapila was so shocked that she interrupted her incantation for a moment.

Xu Ning laughed and pointed ahead, "Don't underestimate my little brother's fearless chivalry. He has the audacity to even challenge a demon god, let alone these members of the gilded brigade who are acting on someone's orders."

The three people were dressed exactly like the Sumeru Gilded Brigade.

In Teyvat, the Gilded Brigade is basically synonymous with mercenaries, which is why Xu Ning spoke with such certainty.

And as he said this, he began to look around to see if the person in charge of these people was nearby.

Unfortunately, apart from the rolling green hills and tall trees, there was no one else around.

However, behind a large tree on a distant mountain peak, a young man dressed in purple leaned against the tree, tilting his head back and smiling bitterly, "Am I dreaming? How could that person be here? And he's even with Katarina! This is troublesome. This is not a good sign for 'his' plans. It seems I have to speed things up."

"Little one, don't make that face. If you keep not saying anything, it makes us feel like we're bullying you."

One of the three men, whose expression was relatively mild, looked helpless. "It was wrong of Kekubad to kick over your paint bucket, but actually we..."

"Stop rambling."

Judging from their tone, it seemed that the woman was the leader among the three.

"Looks like there's no need to say anything more. Let's just grab our things and leave..."

Just then, Kong, enveloped in lightning, suddenly stepped into the middle of the group and asked with an unfriendly expression, "What are you all doing?"

The group was taken aback by Kong's flamboyant entrance.

The woman forced herself to reply, but her words were still somewhat hesitant and stuttering.

"Where...where did you come from...We just want to buy a painting!"

"Buy? I think that's robbery!"

Paimon must have known that the big drunkard and Kong were backing him up, so he took the bullying to the extreme. "You were just saying you'd take the stuff and leave, but now you're talking about buying paintings. Tell me, how much is a painting?"

The woman said angrily, "This Melousin hasn't said a word the whole time, how am I supposed to know how much it costs?"

Paimon raised his chin as if he had solved a case and snorted, "If you don't speak, then you're unwilling. If you're unwilling, why are you still pestering me? What is this if not robbery? If you know what's good for you, get out of here, or it will be too late once we reveal our identities."

It has to be said that Paimon's appearance was really intimidating, and the three of them immediately looked at the two of them with suspicion.

"Identity? What...what is your identity?"

Paimon was just thinking about introducing Xu Ning's family and adding some impressive title to Kong, such as "Liyue's First King, the King of Five Kingdoms," when he saw Xu Ning walking over from afar suddenly stick out a finger and shake it.

"We are...uh...law enforcement officers!"

The two henchmen panicked immediately, "Big sister, what do we do...?"

Paimon's pause slightly weakened his persuasiveness, but the woman still tried to remain calm, "Panic...what's the panic? Their attire doesn't resemble that of the Court of Justice at all. Don't be fooled..."

“Those people who pronounce it ‘Law Enforcement Court’ are obviously not from the Law Enforcement Court, judging from their uniforms.”

Xu Ning walked over and sneered, "You guys obviously haven't been in Fontainebleau long. What's the Law Enforcement Court? They're from the 'Gloomy Star Court.' Didn't you see the star patterns on their uniforms? Hmph, they're foreigners after all..."

Pointing at the little white-haired guy, he said, "This is a top-tier P-type security unit. You don't want to experience the power of a kinetic cannon, do you?"

Paimon's gaze immediately became blank, and he mechanically turned his head to face the three of them.

"Gah... Gah... Gah... Charging complete, the jelly cannon is activating..."

The three members of the Gilded Troupe ran away without hesitation, and Xu Ning and the others laughed, mocking Paimon's acting as too stiff and that he had even forgotten his lines.

Paimon argued for a few moments before turning to look at Little Meilushin, who was curiously observing them.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Little Melosin had recovered from her dejected state after being bullied. Looking up at Paimon in mid-air, she asked with envy, "It's okay, but are you from that Darklight Star Court? You seem so powerful..."
