Chapter 4: Obtaining Geo Elemental, A New Guest Arrives
"I'm... a handyman."
Xunfeng was unclear about his job title for a while, only knowing that he was cleaning every day.
Damn it, I'll go ask for a job right away.
"Brother Wangchuan, you go ahead and do your work. I still need to clean the coffin."
"Xunfeng, didn't you notice that the coffin is very clean?"
"Hmm...Eh?!" Xun Feng turned the rag over and found that it was cleaner than his pocket.
"The hall master even asked me to clean up, is he kidding me!" Xun Feng said indignantly.
"Haha, the head of the hall just wanted you to get to know me. The cleaning was just a lie."
The good news is: finally, we don't have to clean anymore!
The bad news is: I've been scammed again!
After saying goodbye to Wangchuan, Xunfeng angrily walked towards Hutao's room.
As Xunfeng approached, he heard Hu Tao and Zhong Li chatting.
"Master, are you saying that you met that young friend once when he was in his soul form?"
Xun Feng paused for a moment, then quietly leaned against the wall.
"Yes, Guest Elder, you are very knowledgeable. Do you know how to restore the memories in his soul from before?"
Walnut rested her chin on her hands, appearing deep in thought.
"From a purely rational perspective, the physical body and the spiritual body of a person do not share memories, and I'm afraid I can't help it."
Zhongli shrugged, indicating that he was powerless to help.
"Never mind! He's fine the way he is now!"
Meanwhile, Xunfeng, who was outside the door, overheard that he had actually met Hu Tao before, and immediately started brainstorming.
Did I offend her in the past? Is assigning me heavy work now a form of revenge? What should I do? I need help urgently.
Before Xunfeng could overthink it, Hu Tao came out of the room.
"Hey, Xunfeng?! What are you doing standing here?"
Hu Tao raised her hand and waved it in front of Xun Feng, only to find that Xun Feng was already in a daze.
Only after hearing Hu Tao's voice did Xun Feng slowly return to reality.
"Ah... Greetings, Master. I just happened to be passing by. Don't worry, I definitely didn't hear anything..."
Hu Tao glanced at him, said nothing, and turned to leave.
However, there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
As soon as Hu Tao left, Zhong Li came out.
Just as Xun Feng was about to leave, Zhong Li pulled him into a room and used his elemental power to isolate the place from the outside world.
"Zhongli? What's wrong? Why does he look so serious?"
"Young friend, there's no need to panic. I just want to have a chat with you."
"..."
"Young friend, do you remember anything from before you woke up?"
"I remember... okay... I don't remember!"
Xunfeng dared not lie, because he felt that Zhongli must know something.
"Very well, I will pass on the Eye of the Geo Element to you, so that you may not encounter any misfortune in the future."
"What is the Eye of God? Can you eat it?"
"..." Zhongli sighed helplessly, "Please keep today's events a secret."
After saying that, Zhongli raised his hand, and a rustic-looking divine eye appeared on Xunfeng's body.
"You can use the Geo element to protect yourself from now on."
After touching the Eye of God, Xun Feng was about to thank Zhong Li when he suddenly felt dizzy.
This nearly caused him to lose his balance, and he finally stumbled and leaned against the wall.
"Your Eye of God... is poisonous! Why do I react so strongly when I touch it?"
Zhongli clearly hadn't expected such a strong reaction from him.
After pondering for a long time, he turned and left without looking back.
He left only one sentence: "I understand."
"Hey! What do you understand?! Stop right there!"
Zhongli ignored his calls and left the Hall of Rebirth, disappearing without a trace.
After obtaining the Eye of God, Xun Feng immediately expressed doubt about life.
Why should I protect myself? I have no enemies, and I don't need to protect the world.
Puzzled, Xun Feng returned to his room, pondered for a while, then felt sleepy and took a nap.
Light...so warm...where...is this place?
Xunfeng arrived at a place filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, teeming with life.
He vaguely saw a figure floating in front of him, but he couldn't get close enough to make out the person's appearance.
Immediately afterwards, the scene shifted, and Xun Feng found himself in another place, his vision going black.
If Walnut could see, she would know that this is... Wuwang Slope!
The darkness before him seemed to condense in the air, making it impossible for him to breathe.
The next second, he was suddenly awakened from his sleep.
"Phew... How strange, why would I have such a weird dream?"
Xunfeng clutched his chest, trying to calm his breathing.
Zhongli, who was drinking tea at a teahouse in Liyue, noticed that Xunfeng's light element seemed to have become stronger.
"It seems I was right."
Meanwhile, Xunfeng, having nothing to do after getting up, decided to go out for a stroll.
For some reason, the afternoon sun made Xunfeng feel particularly comfortable.
I wish I could live like this forever!
“Hey, do you remember me?” Barbatos popped up from the side.
"Who... are you?" Xun Feng feigned ignorance.
"Don't you remember me? You'll regret it if you come to Mondstadt."
These words, tinged with threat, made Xun Feng feel that the person in front of him was quite immature.
"I have Geo element, I'm not afraid of you!"
Unconvinced, Xunfeng instantly displayed the imposing manner of a kindergarten class monitor.
"Oh? Zhongli gave you the Eye of God? I understand."
Before Xunfeng could ask any questions, Barbatos transformed into a wisp of wind and returned to the Mondstadt region.
Xunfeng: That wretched riddle teller!
Just then, a faint light, barely perceptible to the naked eye, descended from the sky. Teyvat had a new guest!
Barbatos: Has it finally arrived?
