"It's a pity that Beidou didn't get involved in such a big event."

As he spoke, a hint of longing appeared in Beidou's eyes:

"The legendary demon god, it would be wonderful to fight it."

"Don't just watch the fight and enjoy it; there are casualties too."

Yura couldn't help but say.

Beidou, however, said quite casually:

"It's alright, isn't there the Emperor's protection? You all said that during battles, our people are protected by the Emperor's shield."

"That's because the Emperor wanted to test Liyue, not because he really wanted his people to go to the battlefield... I guess that's how it is?"

Yao Yao tilted her head and said.

"Alright, who exactly is this next Rock King Emperor? He's recognized by so many parties! I really want to meet him."

Beidou said.

"Brother Jiang Ning is a very good person. He's very handsome and has a great personality... um."

Then Yao Yao stopped talking.

Yan Fei also looked in one direction and remained silent.

Beidou was a little confused and followed their gaze.

Then they saw a white-haired boy dragging a bunch of gourds that were almost pixelated, heading towards the Liyue General Affairs Department.

Upon closer inspection, you can still make out what those mosaics are: the Treasure Thieves and the Fools. Their injuries appear to have been inflicted through torture, and the methods used seem exceptionally cruel.

"Is this young man new to the interrogation department? His methods are quite impressive..."

Beidou touched his head in admiration.

"Um... this is Jiang Ning..."

Yan Fei said.

Beidou looked bewildered: "Huh?"

Then came disbelief—no, you're telling me that this cruel smile, this person torturing people so much, is the next Rock King Emperor?

This isn't the Rock King, it's the King of Hell!

Is it really okay to hand Liyue over to him?

"What on earth did these people do to offend him...? I remember that everyone in Liyue should know about Jiang Ning's appearance and whereabouts, right?"

Yura was speechless.

Yan Fei weakly explained, "Actually, Sister Beidou, Jiang Ning is incredibly cruel and terrifying when it comes to dealing with enemies..."

Inside the prison, Jiang Ning interrogated several of the mentally unstable Fools in order to obtain intelligence.

Anyway, after seeing Jiang Ning's methods, everyone in the interrogation department exclaimed that he was a complete waste of his talents at Yuehaiting and that he would definitely become the head of the interrogation department within three years.

Who knows, he might even become one of the seven stars in charge of punishments someday.

However, this idea disappeared after Jiang Ning became the successor of the Emperor.

"I see... then I can understand..."

Beidou said with difficulty.

But you should at least be mindful of the impact! This is just swaggering around in public... Hmm? Why do those Liyue people look so relieved and like they've gotten their revenge?

what's the situation?

Beidou felt that he hadn't returned to Liyue for a year, and the changes there were happening so rapidly.

“Jiangning!” Yura announced loudly.

Jiang Ning paused for a moment, then saw Youla and the others, especially Yao Yao. The cruelty on his face vanished instantly, replaced by the gentle older brother-next-door demeanor.

He then quickly produced a large piece of cloth to cover the mosaic behind him, summoned several Thousand Rock soldiers, gave them a few instructions, and walked towards Yura and the others amidst their excited and thrilled expressions.

"Look, Lord Jiangning has asked me to do something!"

"Yes, yes, we must brag about it when we get back. This is something the next emperor personally ordered us to do, so we must do it well."

"Yeah."

Then Qianyan Army dragged that lump away quickly.

Jiang Ning then approached Yao Yao and said, "Yao Yao, I'm sorry I startled you, aren't I?"

Yao Yao shook her head and said, "No, although I'm young, I understand that being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself."

Jiang Ning gave him a look that said, "You're a promising student." He continued, "Yes, Yao Yao, remember this well: when dealing with enemies in the future, you must not hold back. It's best to pin them to the ground and beat them until they can't rise again..."

Yan Fei interrupted her directly: "No, you should teach people something good, they're still young... But what did those people do to you just now?"

Jiang Ning said meaningfully, "Senior Sister Yanfei, you should know that the resentment and remnants of the demon god are very useful to Master and the others right now, right?"

Yan Fei nodded: "Yes, I know."

Perhaps it's possible to revive those immortals from before; it's said that even his own father was brought back by the Emperor to work and find people.

Jiang Ning said, "But these people took the things and sent them to Zhi Dong, saying that the guy called 'Doctor' wanted them for experiments. How can I tolerate that?"

Of course not. In Jiang Ning's mind, he is the next Geo Archon, right? So Liyue is his own, right? And what's his own is his own, isn't it?

You stole my things? I'll chop you up!

"Oh, I see. Well, serves him right."

Yan Fei immediately changed her tune.

Although I wasn't very familiar with those older immortals, I often heard my grandmother mention them, which told me how highly those old friends were in her heart.

So... you upset Grandma? You've got a way to kill yourself.

"You changed your tune way too quickly, didn't you?"

Beidou is speechless.

Yan Fei said, "How can this be called changing your mind? Let me tell you, these fools are bringing back things for the winter. To give you an example, it's like you, Sister Beidou, have been sailing at sea for a long time and then need to get off the ship to replenish your supplies of various fruits and vegetables."

"As a result, the stuff was already yours, and those people just secretly took it away. That's the feeling."

Beidou paused for a moment, then immediately changed his tune: "Good riddance."

"So, who is this?"

Jiang Ning's gaze fell on Bei Dou; what a cool older sister.

Beidou said, "My name is Beidou, captain of the Death Star. You are the successor of the Emperor? Seeing is believing."

Jiang Ning said, "Hmm, Captain Beidou, I've heard Sister Ningguang mention you... Hello, I'm Jiang Ning."

Beidou was somewhat surprised: "Oh, Ningguang actually lets you call her 'sister'? Can she handle it?"

The next Geo Archon.

Jiang Ning said, "Well, before I knew that my master was the Emperor, I always called Ningguang 'Sister Ningguang'."

"I see... This woman has made a killing again this time."

Beidou pursed his lips.

Are you heading to Qunyu Pavilion?

Jiang Ning asked.

"Yeah, I'm back now, aren't I? I brought back what Ningguang wanted, and I'm definitely going to squeeze a hefty sum out of her."

Beidou is eager to get started.

"That's perfect, I'm going too, come with me."

Jiang Ning said.

"If you come with me, we won't need to report it."

The group arrived at Qunyu Pavilion, and upon reaching Ningguang's office door, Beidou sighed:

"Ningguang really values ​​you. You went straight to her office door without even announcing yourself."

Yanfei said, "Is it possible that Jiang Ning could go to any corner of Liyue without needing to report?"

Beidou laughed heartily: "Haha, I had forgotten."

"The Big Dipper has traveled a long way; what brings it here?"

Ningguang's voice rang out, and she approached gracefully with her two secretaries, Baishi and Baixiao.

Beidou said, "I brought back what you wanted: the Electric Crystal and the Singing Grass. Did you really need to send an urgent message? Oh, right, there's another thing. I found out about it, but it's quite far away, so I didn't take a detour."

"Electric Crystal and Naruto?"

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ning Guang.

Ningguang smiled and said, "Yes, I prepared these especially for you. You went to Inazuma for these two things, right?"

"Mmm... Thank you, Ningguang-jie."

Jiang Ning was overjoyed. Was this what it felt like to have a rich woman as a powerful backer?

"See if this is enough, and if it's usable."

Ningguang urged.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Okay..."

He took the electric crystal and the singing grass from Beidou's hand. The thunder element inside them surprised Jiang Ning greatly.

This thing works!

Furthermore, the lightning element in the Electric Crystal is different from that in the Electric Crystal within Liyue. The one from Inazuma seems to be of higher quality, and like Naruku, it has an additional unique characteristic.

Is this truly befitting the realm of the Thunder God? Plants and minerals have all been affected to some extent.

"Yes, it works, but it's far from enough. And the most crucial Heavenly Cloud Grass Seed hasn't been found yet... so Inazuma still has to go there."

Jiang Ning said.
