Upon receiving Lin Feng's call, Jean swiftly led a contingent of elite Knights to provide support. Amber, hearing that Eula was in danger, disregarded her suspended flight license and immediately took off with her Wind Glider towards the snow-capped mountains.
"A futile struggle, ha! Young man, why don't you join the Fatui? I can let this woman be yours!" Lei Chui grinned at Lin Feng.
"Ha! She's already mine, so you better run while you can!" Lin Feng retorted without hesitation, unimpressed by such a lowly attempt at sowing discord - typical of the Fatui tactics.
Eula's face flushed slightly; when did she become his property? She mentally noted this grievance for future reference!
"Hmph, attack together, for Snezhnaya!" Lei Chui snorted, his hammer crackling with lightning.
"Be careful!" Eula warned Lin Feng, tightening her grip on her heavy sword.
"Haha, you too, stay safe!" Lin Feng smiled, flames swirling in his hands.
With a loud "bang," the musket wielder fired at Lin Feng. Initially intending to dodge, he realized Eula was right behind him and instinctively shielded her with his arm.
The bullet struck Lin Feng's arm and lodged itself between his bones. Eula turned around, glaring coldly at the musket wielder, her heart surging with intense fury.
Lin Feng also began throwing punches, but without any weapons, he felt severely disadvantaged, unable to land a hit effectively.
Eula swiftly reached the musket wielder, striking their firearm with her heavy sword, instantly splitting it in two.
With a swift "swish," the Fatui Agent, disregarding fair combat, slashed deeply into Eula's arm with a sharp blade.
Lin Feng rushed over to assist, hurling a fireball directly at the Fatui Agent. The flames engulfed them, making it impossible for the assailant to hide. Eula mustered all her strength, swinging her heavy sword and landing a decisive blow on the Fatui Agent.
Their figure revealed, they collapsed onto the ground, lifeless. Lei Chui and the others intensified their attacks; Lin Feng took another wind-infused punch, feeling his stomach churn.
As their stamina gradually waned, primarily due to Lin Feng's lack of combat skills, he struggled to provide significant support to Eula. She continued bearing the brunt of the fight against the Fatui.
With a "whoosh," a flaming arrow flew from afar and struck one of the Fatui members directly, causing them to collapse instantly, lifeless.
Amber gracefully descended from the sky, landing beside Eula. Concern etched on her face, she asked, "Are you okay? Your hand is bleeding!"
"I'm fine!" Eula managed a strained smile, blood still flowing from her arm, and her lips had turned slightly pale.
"Don't say you're fine when it's clearly not!" Amber, somewhat upset, swiftly drew her bow and fired at the remaining Fatui, determined that none would escape after injuring Eula so grievously.
"Baron Bunny!" Amber produced a plush toy and hurled it towards the Fatui.
To everyone's surprise, Baron Bunny started dancing adorably.
Seeing this, Lei Chui burst out laughing, "Are you trying to kill me with laughter? What kind of move was that? You even threw your own doll! Ha ha ha..."
A sudden explosion followed, engulfing Lei Chui in flames. When the fire subsided, he lay motionless on the ground, his fate uncertain.
Seeing their leader incapacitated, the Fatui members quickly attempted to flee.
"Wait for it; the Fatui won't let this go!" The musket wielder shouted before joining his comrades in their hasty retreat.
"Heh, where do you think you're going?!" Kaeya eyed the fleeing Fatui agents with a cold smirk.
"Captain Jean, leave these minor nuisances to me. Oh, and record this for me! I'll post it as soon as we get back!" With a grin, Kaeya handed his phone to one of the Knights of Favonius.
Jean remained speechless but didn't object, fully trusting Kaeya's capabilities as the Cavalry Captain.
She approached Eula, examining her arm wound and Lin Feng's gunshot injury, feeling a surge of anger.
Was she being too lenient? The Fatui had become increasingly brazen lately. If not for most knights being away on expedition led by the Captain, the Fatui wouldn't dare act so audaciously.
"Captain Jean, these Fatui were planning to detonate explosives in the snow-capped mountains, triggering a massive avalanche to engulf Mondstadt!" Eula reported calmly, looking at Jean.
Jean's frown deepened further; such a massive avalanche could indeed inflict severe damage on Mondstadt.
Kaeya swiftly subdued the Fatui agents, even striking a pose he deemed particularly impressive afterward.
"You'd better release us, or the Fatui won't spare you!" The musket wielder continued to threaten defiantly.
Eula approached and delivered two hard kicks to him; this was the one who had shot Lin Feng.
With that, the group escorted the captured Fatui members down the mountain. Lin Feng and Eula also headed to the church, where Barbara tended to their wounds.
"Did you both get injured while fighting the Fatui? That's truly remarkable!" Barbara praised them admiringly as she bandaged Eula's wound.
"Haha, of course! Eula faced an entire squad of Fatui alone, holding her own brilliantly, and ultimately defended Mondstadt successfully," Lin Feng chuckled, explaining to Barbara.
Eula rolled her eyes at Lin Feng, but to him, it looked exceptionally adorable.
Hearing Lin Feng's account, Barbara's admiration for Eula grew even more profound.
After Barbara finished treating both Lin Feng and Eula's injuries, their arms were wrapped with bandages at identical positions, almost resembling decorative accessories.
As it was already evening and both of them injured, they decided to dine at the Good Hunter tavern. Eula felt slightly anxious, unsure if Sara would serve her without Amber around.
"Two Sticky Honey Roasts!" Eula called out to Sara.
Sara looked up, recognized Eula, and responded with a smile, "Of course! Thank you for protecting Mondstadt!"
Eula was taken aback, thinking, Isn't she supposed to refuse me?
Noticing Eula's confusion, Sara explained with a grin, "I misunderstood you before; you're a hero of Mondstadt. From now on, whenever you dine at the Good Hunter, I'll give you a 20% discount!"
She had overheard the knights earlier discussing Eula, learning that her injuries were sustained while defending Mondstadt.
"Hmm..." Eula nodded faintly, but as soon as she turned away, a subtle yet charming smile appeared on her face - this was her first recognition!
Quickly regaining her icy demeanor, she reminded herself, I am Mondstadt's Sinner, here for vengeance. Why should I seek any acknowledgment!
Lin Feng smiled at Eula, this tsundere creature. Despite her obvious happiness inside, she maintained a stern expression, almost as if he owed her money.
They quickly finished their meal and headed towards the snow-capped mountains together. Along the way, Lin Feng incessantly chatted with Eula, nearly pushing her to silence him by force.
"Why didn't you wait for the Knights to arrive before jumping in to save me? It was incredibly dangerous, do you realize that?" Eula asked, looking straight into Lin Feng's eyes with a hint of anger upon returning home.
