Genshin Impact: Confession successful? They couldn't believe it

Chapter 385 The Moon Can Be Deceiving, the Blessing of Moonlight

"Mea ...

"Stop, stop, stop." Wu Menghai silently interrupted Columbia who was singing.

Columbia stopped singing: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Wu Menghai said: "Although you sang very well, why did you sing again?"

"I like it." Columbia said again.

"Oh, if you like it, why didn't you sing it a few times when you were with us before?"

"My original body is with Zhidong, and I sing for them. If you like, I can always sing for you."

Wu Menghai smiled, very satisfied with her kindness.

Then he pointed with his finger and had a good idea: "Hey~! Then tomorrow you can be my music player at Yuanshi Drink Shop and sing all day, okay?"

"Okay~" Columbia directly agreed to Wu Menghai's request.

"No, no, I'm just kidding." Wu Menghai quickly stopped talking. Just singing twice would be enough. It would be too tiring to keep singing.

"Come to think of it, the songs you sing all seem to be the same. Are they popular songs among your winter sang?"

Columbia shook her head, but the Solstice people secretly nodded. It could be heard every day in Solstice, so it could be considered quite popular.

"This is the only thing I remember about my birth... I had nothing else at that time."

She opened her eyes as Columbia spoke, and this time they were not red, but a faint pink.

Wu Menghai could see more clearly this time. Her eyes were like a pink, starry universe, and her pupils shone like the bright moon, with a distinct waning moon below.

But seeing how she talked about birth and uniqueness, it seemed that Columbia didn't know about her identity yet.

"Oh, this is like a lullaby, imprinted in your mind since birth. It might be the only clue to your identity." Wu Menghai pondered: "Please translate the lyrics for me first."

Seeing that Wu Menghai wanted to explore the meaning of the lyrics, Columbia sang a line to Wu Menghai while translating.

Few of them cared to delve into the lyrics of Columbia's songs before. Those who didn't understand them simply thought they were nice lullabies.

"What? The song they sang at the beginning was Little Dove, and Little Dove is pronounced as Columbia?!" Wu Menghai exclaimed. No wonder some parts of Columbia seemed very familiar when it was sung in a loop.

The normal transliteration pronunciation was different from what she sang so I couldn't hear it clearly, but I could hear it after the translation.

"Columbia meah~" After listening to the entire translation, Wu Menghai only remembered this and repeated it several times.

Columbia, with her eyes closed, gradually became shy.

"From the sound of it, could it be that your identity is actually the girl from the moon?" Wu Menghai made a bold guess by hammering his palm.

"Well, they also called me Kutar, the young lady, and Lady Moon. You can call me by that name too."

What Kutar, Luna?

As if she could see Wu Menghai's doubts, Columbia added, "Kutar means Moon Girl."

It seems that her identity is very unusual, as she kept talking about the moon and girls throughout the whole process.

But Wu Menghai finally called out, "Columbia!"

"I'm here," Columbia responded.

"I haven't talked about Xiaoge yet." Wu Menghai replied instantly with a somewhat anxious tone.

"That's fine." Columbia said nonchalantly, "I don't have a name anyway, so you can call me whatever you want."

"Of course! Columbia will be your name from now on. I decided it!" said Wu Menghai.

Columbia looked at Wu Menghai for a moment, nodded, and made up her mind: "Okay, then I will walk more often under the name Columbia in the future."

She also thought the name "Columbia" sounded nice. Although the original meaning of "Columbia" is "little pigeon," and it felt strange to be called by a pigeon, it wasn't strange when it was only used in Teyvatian communication.

What's more, Columbia felt that this name was closer than Kutar or Lord Moon God.

Wu Menghai stood up and took two steps before he suddenly understood: "Moon God, you said before that it was unreachable. Now I understand! Your home is on the moon!"

Columbia nodded: "Well, I want to return to the moon that belongs to me. That is my home."

That's true. He was the first one to know her identity in advance, and the traveler Paimon didn't know it yet.

But hearing Columbia say this softly, the gentleness in her words made people feel pity.

Wu Menghai thought of the ancient story about the moon and fairies. She thought about the moon's environment and wondered if her home was really there. It would be too lonely.

According to the previous calculation, the moon in the sky looks bigger here, but the actual distance is still very far, sometimes hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Even with his fastest heavy-duty bunny car, it would take a long time to reach the destination even if he could maintain the speed. And if the outside was also empty, it would be terrible.

"Although I can't take you to the moon right now, if you wish, this place will always be your second home. Until then, you can always live here. This place is also a harbor where you can rest and rest."

Columbia was touched. Is this another "home"?

Her first "home" just kept exploiting her, demanding, and greedy. That was not a real home.

Now staying in her "home", Columbia has also discovered the truth. She is just greedy and craving for her power with bad intentions.

But the feeling Wu Menghai brought her was much warmer and purer. Only by his side could she truly feel like a normal "home."

"Do you know what the most important thing is?" Wu Menghai suddenly said with a smile.

"What?" Columbia asked after thinking for a while. She didn't know what Wu Menghai would say.

"Coo coo coo~" Wu Menghai suddenly cooed like a pigeon.

"Huh?" Columbia rolled her eyes from side to side, not understanding why he suddenly imitated pigeons.

"Because I'm the only one that has French fries! Can I get some French fries?" Wu Menghai said with a smile.

Columbia is down, I don’t understand what it means, let alone what French fries are.

So Wu Menghai explained it to Columbia.

Finally, Columbia ate the French fries that Wu Menghai fed her from time to time with a smile.

It smells so good! It's so delicious and has a high energy conversion rate.

After a few bites, I found that this little pigeon, no, Columbia really likes to eat some French fries just like a pigeon.

After a while, Wu Menghai continued, "Then you must be an angel that fell from the moon!"

Columbia shook her head. "I don't know. I was born in Teyvat five hundred years ago."

Wu Menghai's forehead twitched twice and he held it in his hand. "It's only been around for five hundred years? I remember you saying it existed even longer, and you knew about its long-unknown past?"

"That's the moon's ability to recall scenes from the past."

"Where is the angel?" Wu Menghai pursed his lips.

"I've never been an angel. It's just that the power of the moon can transform me into wings as white as the moon, shimmering with moonlight, just like your wings."

"Oh~ That's fine, right? That makes sense." Wu Menghai drooped his lips, feeling a bit shocked inside: "So you are the only remaining human-shaped fairy who hasn't degenerated?"

"No. (Hey)" Columbia shook her head.

Wu Menghai felt heartbroken and felt like it would take him many days to recover.

I was really deceived.

So tonight, Columbia began to tell Wu Menghai a lot about herself.

This can be considered as a new patch for Wu Menghai.

Even the name of the ability contracted with Columbia was changed to Moon Goddess.

As Columbia said, "Even the moon can be deceiving."

Good guy, this is how you play it, right?

"Lunar torque?" Wu Menghai rubbed his head as he heard new knowledge entering his mind, which had a certain impact: "Your power actually comes from the moon."

"Yes, it's very powerful. It can grant great strength, cure disease, relieve pain, prolong life, whatever you want, but..." Columbia said, pausing and looking at Wu Menghai without blinking. Even so, she kept silent: "I'm not omnipotent."

Faced with abilities that would be very tempting to ordinary people, Wu Menghai felt no ripple in her heart. However, the contract she had with him did allow her to unexpectedly gain more life.

Columbia also felt that Wu Menghai was not very interested in this or that, and she felt that Wu Menghai was more comfortable here.

The "home" named Wu Menghai is far ahead of its previous and current comfort levels, with no end in sight.

Wu Menghai thought back: "Then why do you usually keep your eyes closed?"

Columbia sat on the balcony, swinging her small legs. She said, "I can see the world clearly without using my eyes. But more importantly, I don't want to see them, and I don't want them to see it. It will make those who see it lose themselves. That's what I don't want to see."

Wu Menghai's heartbeat quickened. "Oh, I understand this. Your eyes have a deadly magic power that can penetrate deep into people's hearts. Normal people can't handle it. I don't want to pry into other people's privacy. So why do you often open your eyes to look at me..."

"With my eyes closed, I can't perceive your specific appearance or form. It's obscured by this symbol that keeps floating out." As she spoke, the girl, Columbia, drew a heart in Wu Menghai's palm. She even made a heart shape with both hands, which was really adorable.

So when she closed her eyes and made a heart shape, Columbia found that more heart symbols appeared on Wu Menghai.

Wu Menghai understood. Was he really that loving? How much did he like her?

"About red eyes, and a flash of pink, glowing waning moon eyes." Wu Menghai's straightforward and abrupt turn raised a classic choice question.

Columbia tilted her head. "Huh? You really like looking into other people's eyes. This is the first time someone has mentioned my eyes to me."

Wu Menghai nodded. He really liked eyes. "So, do you think my eyes are beautiful?"

Columbia quickly replied, "It looks good."

After she finished speaking, she smiled, and her big eyes that looked like stars made people fall in love with them easily.

"Yours looks good too, I like your pink eyes~"

"I like your blue eyes too~"

The two of them suddenly looked at each other without blinking and began to praise each other.

Wu Menghai covered his eyes and stopped looking at each other and praising each other: "I said stop, I haven't said anything about the red eyes yet!"

Columbia tilted her head again. "Are my eyes usually red? I wasn't paying attention."

Columbia thought for a moment and pointed at herself: "Oh, I understand. It's because this little fellow~, the moon power contained in its eyes can't be suppressed and will mutate. But I can suppress its changes, but this little fellow will suffer. After all, it's not like the Moon Spirit..."

"Okay!" Wu Menghai nodded. Your explanation makes sense.

If I see her true form open her eyes in the future, and see her pink moon-like pupils, it's not impossible that they can't help but turn red when she gets angry.

But he was concerned about another thing: "What about the extra ice element I showed here, and before in the abyss. Is it just because you are currently in the state of being possessed by the Winter Fairy?"

"That's right! I used the power of the Moon to amplify the power of the Winter Fairy, allowing it to maximize its ice elemental abilities."

"So your own true form uses the ice element?"

"No, my power is lunar moment force."

Wu Menghai slapped his forehead and had a headache. This lunar moment force looked like the wild form of Fontainebleau, which was unique to the region.

Damn miHoYo, I hate you!

"Of the seven elements of Teyvat, which one are you?"

"It's the power of the moon... If I have to say, I prefer the power of water!"

"The power of water? That's the water element. Great! Welcome to join the water family." Wu Menghai was pleasantly surprised.

Columbia said something more or less about this.

"You actually told me you're not good at fighting, but seeing how good you were against the Abyss... Okay, it's an amplification assist that can reduce the enemy's health by 99% right?"

"I'm really not good at fighting. The damage was all caused by Sandoni and elemental reactions." Columbia said softly.

"It's okay, you make me like you more! I enjoy the amplification! My skill passive is super powerful. Let me tell you, the more amplification, the more amplification, understand?" Wu Menghai was happy. He liked teammates who could use amplification skills the most. He was the most popular!

"Okay, anyway, you are the new Moon God, using the Moon's power. Similar to the Seven Gods, you don't have the Eye of God. Nor do you have anything like the Heart of God. Your power all comes from the Frost Moon in March itself." Wu Menghai rubbed his forehead to acclimate himself to the new settings.

Columbia had just mentioned something about the moon in the sky, specifically the month of March. This included information Wu Menghai already knew: that the starry sky in Teyvat was fake.

Columbia looked at Wu Menghai and nodded slightly.

"Then there's the contract between you and me." Wu Menghai suddenly slapped his forehead again, remembering something. He had only seen the name of the contract changed to Moon Goddess, but was so shocked by everything else that he forgot to open it and take a look.

At the same time, the abilities Wu Menghai gained after their contract appeared behind him.

"Is it about the wings behind you?" Columbia looked behind him. The white wings still shone charmingly under the moonlight.

"As I said before, I just used the power of the Moon Goddess to give you some of my power." Columbia jumped into his wings and buried her body in them.

"This is the manifestation of your deepest desire." Columbia popped up again. "But I didn't expect this power to suddenly appear within you. Judging from the situation, you can only manifest it and use it in a basic way, but you can't fully master and control it."

Appear?

Wu Menghai thought, the best option for a contract with Columbia is actually wings?

What did he desire most? Could it be that he longed for freedom, for his fighting spirit to transform into wings and fly into the sky and into the earth?

That's great! I really want to have wings so I can fly in the sky!

"No! I also have a skill that deals additional ice damage when attacking!"

Columbia thought silently for a moment, then said, "That's not right. It must be your problem. Why don't you take a closer look?"

With doubts, Wu Menghai practiced his abilities.

The contract itself remains unchanged, changing from a Fairy Angel Contract to a Moon Goddess Contract. The bonuses and other aspects of the contract remain unchanged.

Flipping through it again, Wu Menghai saw what he was looking for. This time, it had actually changed.

"You..." Wu Menghai almost cursed.

Originally, a single person could freeze and fight the permafrost flow without relying on external objects, but now it’s gone.

Give me back eternal freeze! Woo woo woo.

【Blessing of Moonlight】

As you gain a deeper understanding of Columbia, new skills will replace the original ones.

Gained new team bonuses and added new elemental reactions.

Because of the blessing, he was given the status of a Moon Omen character.

Moon Omen: In the state of First Glory or Full Glory, its combat summon, Elemental Burst Water Park, is strengthened.

When at least one Lunar Omen character joins the team, the Radiance is fully increased. When fully increased, the team's Lunar Reaction damage is increased by 36%.

After strengthening: The number of summons generated by combat skills is now +1, and the damage of all attributes of summons is increased by 20%.

After the enhancement: When activating Water Park, all abilities are increased by 20%. Normal characters with the Water element do not receive any bonus, but gain a shield that can withstand one normal attack. Water Park's cooldown is reduced by 10%.

Additional skills gained: Mirror Image and Water Moon.

Mirror Moon: If you activate Water Park on a normal body of water, your ultimate increases the damage dealt by allied characters within its range by 20%. A reflection of the moon will appear on the water's surface. The maximum diameter of the resulting moon is 100 meters.

Gain special skills: Bright Moon Rising from the Sea.

When the moon formed on the water surface is the largest, it can turn from virtual to virtual, and the reflection of the moon emerges from the water surface, generating a false moon with a diameter of 100 meters. The model restores the most perfect bright frost moon one to one.

When the moon rises from the water, the characters under the illumination of the Frost Moon can borrow the energy of the moonlight and amplify themselves synchronously according to the proportion of the moonlight that can be emitted.

"Smells so good! Wonderful!!!" What is Eternal Frost? Too weak. The extra moon power I now have is invincible!
