Genshin Impact short video: The death sentence at the start terrifies Fou.

Paimon rolled his eyes. "You really know how to play games."

Chapter 29: Almost Became Public Enemy of Liyue

The video begins.

In the scene, a person is organizing documents; it is Keqing, the Jade Balance Star of Liyue!

[Ying: The signal was bad just now, did anyone miss me?] (Thinking the crisis was over, she reconnects at lightning speed)

She was sitting at her desk organizing documents when a person walked towards her and sat down properly in front of her—it was the traveler!

【fluorescent:...】

Keqing politely said, "Traveler, you are welcome to apply for the position of Liyue Seven Stars."

"Then, according to the rules, you have to take a lie detector test. So, you don't mind if I ask you a few questions, do you?"

Yingmei asked in confusion, "Don't we need to tell Ningguang?"

Clearly, she felt it was necessary to inform Tianquanxing Ningguang about such an important matter as applying for the Seven Stars position.

Ke Qing answered her question, “Ningguang is very busy every day and needs to rest, but this lie detector 3000 doesn’t need to.”

Keqing pointed to the black square box on the table; this was the Lie Detector 3000.

"It will sound an alarm when it hears a lie. For example, try telling a couple of lies?"

Yingmei hesitated for a moment, then rolled her eyes and said, "Barbatos is a workaholic."

"drop--"

Zhongli always pays for things herself.

"drop--"

"I don't have the Skyward Sword." (Neither do I; I have plenty of Wolf's Grail.)

No sound.

"Uh, I have it, it's fully upgraded!"

"drop--"

These few words fully illustrate the powerful functions of the Lie Detector 3000.

The chat room was now in an uproar.

[Barbara: @Firefly, Traveler, please go to the Church of the West immediately to repent and beg for Lord Barbatos's forgiveness]

[Ying: I'm innocent! Go tell the lie detector!]

[Hu Tao: Guest, how can the shopkeeper let you leave if you don't pay for your purchases?]

[Zhongli: Record it in the account of the Hall of Rebirth]

[Hu Tao: ? ? ? (Graceful)]

[Jin: Sky Sword?]

The video continues, with Keqing asking travelers to say a few truthful things to calibrate the machine.

Ying: "The Rock King Emperor is my husband."

Upon hearing this, the hearts of the Liyue people were in their throats.

Hey, lie detector 3000, why aren't you ringing yet!

There was no sound for a long time.

Ke Qing looked on incredulously, "That's strange, why isn't it making a sound?"

Why does it need to ring?

Ke Qing laughed, "Because that's the Emperor!"

"That's my husband. I had to spend two tries to win him."

"drop--"

Yingmei thought for a moment, "Isn't that right? That's one order."

[Gan Yu: The lie detector doesn't look very good; it's broken now.]

[True Lord Liuyun Borrows the Wind: This immortal is going to research a real lie detector right now. Traveler, you just wait!]

[Nagarjuna: Morax! Settlement!]

[Ying: Can someone please take care of it?]

Before anyone could understand what "one or two orders" meant, Gan Yu from the video walked over and broke the awkward silence.

Gan Yu: "Ke Qing, did you see the coconut milk on my table?"

Ke Qing: "Ah, I put it in the refrigerator."

"drop--"

"Qiqi drank it."

"drop--"

"Okay, I drank it."

Gan Yu: "It's okay, I drank it, so what?"

"drop--"

"Then I'll go buy a new one."

"drop--"

I'm going back to work overtime.

As it turns out, the lie detector 3000 wasn't broken; it really is accurate.

[Erhesen: I'm going to research a lie detector and put it at home. I'll apply for it at the Religious House tomorrow.]

[Kavi: Elheisen, what do you mean?]

[Keqing: @Erhaisen, I can sponsor this]

[Nasita: Do you need my help?]

[Ying: Hey, hey, hey, there's no need to research things that affect harmony between people. Please spend the funds on other useful things, Order Institute.]

[Elhesen: Lord Grass God, that was just a joke.]

Unlike the real-life Ke Qing, the woman in the picture still looks incredulous.

She stroked her chin thoughtfully and said, "How is that possible?"

Yingmei: "Oh, actually Paimon likes to drink this too."

"That's not it."

"I quite like it too?"

Ke Qing held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but ask, "Is the Emperor really your husband? How is that possible? He's the Emperor!"

Yingmei looked around and said shyly, "Um, this question makes me a little embarrassed."

"Oh, I'm sorry, you are the Emperor's wife after all. Oh dear, the Emperor's wife, I'm so sorry for offending you."

Yingmei took the initiative, asking, "Why are you so hung up on this? Do you like him?"

Startled by the revelation of her secret, Ke Qing panicked and hurriedly tried to explain, but she forgot that there was a working lie detector 3000 on site!

"Huh? How is that possible?"

"drop--"

"Listen, I have absolutely no interest in the Emperor!"

"drop--"

"Okay, actually I like him too. Don't tell anyone, Ningguang and the others don't know yet."

"drop--"

Ke Qing felt utterly hopeless. "Fine, I know everything."

The video ends.

At this moment, Ke Qing in the Qunyu Pavilion had the same expression as in the video.

[Keqing: You all knew?]

[Ningguang: You should ask, are there still people who don't know?]

Gan Yu: Hmm

Ke Qing always thought she had hidden it well, and she often made rebellious remarks.

For example, 'The Emperor has protected Liyue for a thousand years, but will he do the same for the next thousand years, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years?'

So she always thought that those little secrets were only known to herself. In fact, she liked the Emperor very much, and her cabinet was full of Emperor's little trinkets.

[Hu Tao: Speaking of which, I saw Miss Ke Qing secretly buy a clay figurine of the Emperor a while ago. She still loves the Emperor so much.]

[Xiangling: I've seen it too]

[Xingqiu: I've seen it; it's an Emperor pendant.]

[Chongyun: What I saw was a folding fan with the Emperor painted on it]

[Yun Jin: I've seen that before too]

[Ke Qing: Even Mr. Lian Yun...]

Everyone in the chat room was torturing Keqing, and Yingmei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The people of Liyue are really going too far. Isn't Keqing one of the seven stars of Liyue? How can the high-ranking officials who rule Liyue be so obsessed with a figurine?

Fortunately, no one paid any attention to him anymore, so he was able to retire gracefully.

It's absurd to feel like there are many eyes watching you from so far away in Mondstadt.

Paimon gloated, "Serves you right for talking nonsense. Why did you have to argue with that system for no reason?"
