Chapter 226: As Expected of You, Barbatos! (Please Subscribe!!)

Upon entering the territory of Mondstadt, the scenery was no longer as monotonous as that of Snezhnaya.

Because Barbatos had blown away the snow and wind, Mondstadt had transformed from the desolate Mondstadt Snowfield of those years into the spring-like Mondstadt of the present.

Jiang Yan sighed at the changes in Mondstadt.

Although he had visited Mondstadt once when the nation was first established.

At that time, it was to establish diplomatic relations with Barbatos.

But back then, the snow had just melted, and the land was not yet full of life.

You don't say!

You really don't say.

This kid Barbatos is quite skilled at managing the environment.

"Hey, handsome young man."

"Are you interested in sharing a drink with me?"

At that moment, a drunken voice sounded by Jiang Yan's ear. A youth resembling a bard sat cross-legged on a tree branch, holding a wine cup, and said to Jiang Yan with a laugh.

Jiang Yan smiled slightly and said to the people around him:

"Find an inn nearby to rest for now. We will head to Mondstadt City tomorrow."

The representatives of the Qixing and the Millelith exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

After settling everyone nearby, Jiang Yan leaped up and arrived beside the drinking youth.

Jiang Yan looked at the youth before him, who bore an eight-tenths resemblance to Venti, and asked in confusion.

That's right, the youth in this drunken state was indeed the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt.

Barbatos!

"Ehe!"

"Walking among humans naturally requires a human form. Although I am not managing Mondstadt, I still need a suitable identity in Mondstadt!"

Barbatos chuckled, let out a burp, and handed Jiang Yan a wine bottle.

"So, as Venti's twin brother, I make my entrance like this!"

Since Venti did not die in that war against tyranny, the one now ruling Mondstadt is Venti.

Ah... such a thing happening to you, and I can't find a single trace of incongruity.

I can only say, as expected of you, Barbatos!

"Oh my, on such a beautiful day, wouldn't it be a pity not to drink heartily?"

Barbatos clinked his cup against the one in Jiang Yan's hand and said with a smile:

"Come on, come on, let's have a toast."

Jiang Yan smiled and drained the wine in his cup in one gulp.

"Refreshing!"

Seeing Jiang Yan tilt his head back and finish the wine in his cup, Barbatos also cheered with a smile.

Then he too drained the wine in his hand in one gulp.

Immediately after, this fellow somehow pulled out an unopened bottle of wine from somewhere.

"Come on, come on, continue, continue."

"No way! Wait a moment first!"

Jiang Yan raised his arm in front of him, crossing his hands in an X shape.

Blocking Barbatos's offensive move to drink.

"You don't plan to keep drinking with me on this tree branch forever, do you?"

Jiang Yan looked at him with a strange expression.

"Come on! I am here from Liyue to visit your Mondstadt, and you immediately challenge me to a drinking contest?"

"Are you planning to get me drunk and then send me back to Liyue?"

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Barbatos also realized he seemed to be suspected of trying to get someone drunk, and chuckled:

"Oh my, I actually forgot."

"After all, I was just too happy that you came~"

Looking at Barbatos's drunken appearance, Jiang Yan held his forehead with a headache.

"How much have you drunk before I arrived..."

Although Jiang Yan had saved Venti before, for some reason Barbatos still loved drinking.

Moreover, he had turned back into the image of a drunkard just like in his previous life.

"Ehehe, let's go, let's go, I'll take you out to play first!"
