Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 373 A Cocktail Party (Part 1)

At this moment, Diluc's exquisite dark red tailcoat was no longer neat and tidy, and his once neatly combed red hair was somewhat messy, as if he had just been through a chaotic battle.

Diluc's polite smile turned into frustration, a stark contrast to his demeanor just a minute earlier.

She made no attempt to hide this fact from Mu Feng.

Mu Feng suppressed the laughter that was trying to burst out of his chest.

You mustn't laugh, or a duel will be unavoidable.

He desperately tried to recall the sad moments in his life, even the scene where he accidentally bumped into Amy Noel and Amber Barbara at the same time he had arranged to meet.

Even the scene of the underworld where Gumond, the god who controls time, fell, couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips.

Barbatos, if he is guilty, let the Knights punish him, not torture him in this way.

A "hold back your laughter" challenge? That's interesting. Well, he lost.

Mu Feng could naturally guess what had just happened.

Château de la Dawn is a family business in Leygenfender, with a long history of mutual support between it and Mondstadt.

Although Lord Kripps failed to join the Knights as he wished, he was quite adept at running a winery.

The winery's income was booming, and the quality of its wines was renowned. In addition, Cripps often helped the residents, and the name of Leygenfender became widely known.

Diluc inherited all of his father's expectations.

One of the youngest Knights of Favonius, a nobleman of House Legendhand, is naturally an impeccable and outstanding gentleman.

Of course, they are also popular candidates to introduce their own young girls.

Although we're not at the age to get married yet, it's never a bad thing to get to know each other beforehand.

Judging from the appearance of this "impeccable gentleman," he must have just barely finished a social engagement amidst the elegant attire and glamorous atmosphere.

This can be seen from the fact that Kaiya, who was standing to the side, was also turning his head away and desperately trying to suppress his laughter.

"Brother, brother...? What were you laughing at just now?"

Barbara, who had just gotten off the carriage, was puzzled. She gently tugged at Mu Feng's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"Ahem, it's nothing, I just thought of something happy."

Mu Feng coughed lightly twice, forcibly swallowing his smile, and "sadly" shook hands with the host who came to greet him.

He was rigorously trained by the Knights of Favonius and generally didn't laugh unless... unless he really couldn't help it.

He, Mu, is a well-regarded and respectable person in Mondstadt. How could he possibly kick his beloved brothers and friends when they are down?

I swear to Babatos, may the wind god fool you.

Diluc's face grew even darker, and he glared fiercely at Mu Feng and Kaeya, who were both gloating.

Kaiya is one thing, that kid is always quiet and reserved, but Mu Feng doesn't seem to have the right to comment on him!

This guy has only been back in Mondstadt for a little over two years, but in reality, the girls who have feelings for him could line up from the bridge at the entrance of Mondstadt all the way to the entrance of Favonius Cathedral and then circle the statue of Anemo three times.

He won't list the names, but that's not all. I heard he's recently been involved with Yura, the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family.

Could this kid have been a sixteen-winged archangel in his past life?

Mu Feng shrugged. "There's nothing I can do. If you're not satisfied, please call the offices of Youye Jingtu and Xifeng Church and wait for processing."

Kaiya added insult to injury with his gaze; see, he's getting desperate.

Diluc's face visibly darkened.

Are you happy now? You two heartless bastards, he will never forgive you!

Anger arises from the heart, evil comes from the courage.

As a result, the smile on Mu Feng's face became distorted.

The reason for this was none other than Diluc, with his friendly smile, demonstrating "Social Skills" to him.

There is an old saying in Liyue.

Is it not a joy to have friends coming from afar?

I am very happy that a friend came from afar to challenge me.

There is also an old saying in Liyue.

They come, the security.

Since we're here, let's bury him here.

The law of conservation of smiles states that smiles do not appear or disappear out of thin air; they simply transfer from Mu Feng's face to Diluc's.

Mu Feng looked on in disbelief. "You, Diluc with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually resort to such insidious methods."

But he wasn't one to be trifled with either; he hadn't wasted his time reading those two books, "The Art of Cannibalism" and "Dark Psychology."

If you mess with him, you've really kicked a hornet's nest.

Their eyes met, sparking a series of flashes.

So when Qin got out of the car, she saw the two of them shaking hands and meeting in a friendly manner, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a time.

But... why does Xiaofeng's expression look a little strange?

That expression didn't seem like the usual small talk you'd exchange with a friend; rather, it was... like someone was trying their best to hold something back.

Qin didn't think much of it, but just sighed silently in her heart.

The Knights have such a harmonious atmosphere. I hope that after she finishes handing over family affairs in two years, she can also pass the test smoothly.

Before long, the other guests arrived one after another. Mu Feng and Diluc were forced by the situation to stop their open and covert struggle and instead walked into the party arm in arm.

Inside the banquet hall, many guests had already arrived, chatting in small groups of two or three.

However, the themes mostly revolve around the word "winter".

Over the years, Zhi Dong has been secretly expanding his influence.

The Fools, who were formed in the name of the Winter Queen, continued to expand their organization. Their troops were well-equipped and their fighting strength should not be underestimated.

Even more noteworthy are the eleven people who command this unit.

They are known as "Executors," come from different countries, are personally promoted by the Winter Queen, and possess unfathomable power.

The top three executives are said to possess power comparable to that of gods, according to existing records.

First seat "Captain" Capitano

Second seat "Doctor" Doutore

Third seat: "Girl" Columbia

Any one of these names would be enough to make leaders of various countries take it seriously, or even report it to the gods for judgment.

According to intelligence, the envoys this time were subordinates of "Doctor," the second-in-command of the Fools.

Everyone agreed that the newcomer had ill intentions.

However, Mondstadt is currently strong, with a well-established Knights Order and the Grand Master personally overseeing the situation. Even if Lord Anemo has been out of contact for a long time, it is not enough to cause excessive concern.

When Mu Feng, Diluc, and the others entered the arena, it caused a small commotion.

After all, being the youngest knight, coupled with the prestige of the Gunnhildr family, is always a topic of conversation.

Everyone rushed forward to offer toasts and chat, and even Falga was no exception, happily stepping forward to clink glasses with several people.

Mu Feng had no words to express his suffering, but he finally got to experience firsthand the treatment Diluc had just received.

The boomerang he threw hit him right between the eyebrows.

The red-haired boy stood leisurely not far away, arms crossed, watching the show with schadenfreude.

See, fortunes change, and no one escapes the wrath of the wind god.

However, the banquet hall doors opened slowly once again, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.

A chill from the far north swept over me.

The winter envoy has arrived.
