"So, you fell in love with me at first sight?"

Ningguang smiled and said, "I consider myself a very rational person. When I first saw you, I just thought you were a very handsome young man."

"Furthermore, after finding out your background, I thought it wouldn't hurt to befriend you, and you're worth my investment."

Ningguang suddenly chuckled as she spoke: "I never expected that you would be my best investment, but also my biggest loss."

Jiang Ning asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Ningguang said, "The boy I invested in became the future Geo Archon of Liyue. That's where I made the most money. But... I didn't expect that my investment cost was too high. I've even lost everything I have."

Ningguang looked at Jiang Ning, her jewel-like eyes conveying her emotions:

"So, the Jade Pavilion is still missing a male master. Would you... like to become that male master?"

Jiang Ning said, "Alright, then I'd like to see what it feels like to cling to a rich woman's leg."

Ningguang's smile also became ambiguous: "Okay, I'll definitely make you satisfied."

…………

Throughout the afternoon and into the evening, the residents of Liyue Harbor, going about their daily lives, felt, for some reason, that the Jade Pavilion was shaking whenever they looked at it.

Is it my own illusion?

Then the residents shook their heads and went on with their own business.

The millennia-long chess game within the Qunyu Pavilion finally came to an end late at night.

Looking at Ningguang, who had fallen into a deep sleep, Jiang Ning felt both amused and exasperated.

The older sister wanted to take the lead, but was defeated by the younger brother... However, it must be said that Liyue's number one kick is truly amazing.

In the aftermath, in my sage mode, looking back, it seems that my senior sister and master were actually fueling the fire...

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I have to leave for Inazuma tomorrow.

only……

Jiang Ning looked at the expensive, now-fallen-out bed and felt troubled; there was definitely no way he could rest now…

Forget it...

Jiang Ning could only take Ning Guang into his Chenge Pot to rest.

…………

The next day, at the docks of Liyue, the Dark Star was bustling with activity, just like when it returned to Liyue.

The only difference is that when I returned, it was out of an eagerness to go home, but now it's out of a longing for the distance and the sea.

Gan Yu, Shen He, Xian Yun, and others were all there to see Jiang Ning and Ke Qing off.

Jiang Ning said, "Alright, no need to see us off. It's not like we're never coming back."

Shen He said, "Take care on your journey."

Gan Yu said, "Jiang Ning, please give this letter to the Thunder God's Familiar of Inazuma, the priestess of Narukami Shrine, Yae no Miko. She and I are good friends, and she will take good care of you in Inazuma's little territory."

Jiang Ning accepted the answer and nodded, "Understood."

Yura said, "Yanfei and Xiangling couldn't come because they had something to do, so they asked me to see you off. Take care on your journey... Also, Xiangling said that if you have any Inazuma-specific ingredients, remember to bring some back."

Jiang Ning said, "Okay, no problem."

Yao Yao then said to Bei Dou, "Sister Bei Dou, remember to take plenty of vitamins on the way. They're very important at sea. Also, even though your schedule isn't fixed at sea, try to go to bed early and get up early."

③ Yi Erba Ⅰ ④ Yi San Jiu

At this moment, Yao Yao was like a little adult, giving instructions to Bei Dou.

Beidou laughed heartily: "Okay, I got it, Yaoyao, you can rest assured."

Ke Qing, however, looked left and right, somewhat puzzled:

Where is Ningguang?

Given Ningguang's personality, shouldn't she be here to see Jiangning off at this time?

Jiang Ning said, "Yes, Sister Ningguang, I'm feeling a little unwell."

I just made cream puffs last night, and Ningguang probably can't even get out of bed right now.

I still remember the shocked expressions on the faces of the three secretaries when they helped Ningguang tidy up her room after arriving at Qunyu Pavilion.

However, Ningguang's combat strength wasn't particularly strong, but she surprisingly liked to take the lead. Just when she was temporarily suppressed and was thinking of counterattacking...

Ningguang floored the gas pedal, emptying the last drop of fuel from the tank, then rolled her eyes back and passed out.

I'm so embarrassed that I don't even want to fight back.

Damn it, another day of being manipulated by my older sister. I'll remember this grudge.

"Hmm... alright, let's go then."

Ke Qing nodded. Although she felt something was off, the important matter was still the priority.

Beidou looked back at the sailors behind him, seeing that everyone had said their goodbyes:

"Brothers! How are you? Are you all ready?"

"No problem, Sister Beidou!"

"It's been ready for a long time!"

"Excellent!" Beidou laughed heartily. "Then, brothers, set sail! The Death Star, voyage to the eternal kingdom!"

"Oh!"

146. On the sea

Are you getting used to life on the sea?

Beidou approached Jiang Ning, who was gazing into the distance, and asked.

Jiang Ning said, "Sister Beidou, we've only just set off, why are you asking me already?"

Beidou said, "Isn't this because I'm worried about you, kid? You're being treated like a precious treasure these days. Ningguang and the others even came over to tell me to take good care of you, in case you get seasick."

Jiang Ning said, "Don't worry, I don't get seasick."

The value of those who claim to have a "purification-type" constitution is questionable; seasickness is also a negative symptom.

Beidou said, "Well, that's good. If you need anything, just let me know. If you're busy, just ask Hailong. He'll be able to help you solve it."

Jiang Ning said, "Okay, Sister Beidou."

After Beidou left, Jiang Ning sat on the boat for a while and instinctively felt someone watching him. He looked up and saw a light-haired young man on the mast looking at him.

Inazuma's attire and appearance, coupled with his ethereal and unpredictable free spirit, made him look like a ronin from Inazuma.

There also seems to be a God's Eye at his waist...

Jiang Ning didn't pay much attention. There were people from all countries on Beidou's ship, but most of them were from Liyue, so it wasn't unusual to find a ronin named Inazuma there.

Without much thought, Jiang Ning walked towards the cabin.

The young man on the mast kept his gaze following Jiang Ning until he disappeared from sight before turning his attention away.

"To ascend to godhood with a human body... I wonder if he can look directly at that thoughtless slash..."

A sigh escaped, carried away by the wind.

Inside the cabin, Keqing was working diligently. As the Queen of Liyue, she was working even while on the road.

Jiang Ning looked at Ke Qing, who was working diligently and occasionally nodding in approval, and was somewhat speechless.

Before setting off, Ningguang left herself a message, telling Yuheng Star to get some rest as well.

After all, during the period when the emperor abdicated, this Jade Balance Star had pushed himself too hard, causing his subordinates to suffer greatly. Upon hearing that the Jade Balance Star was temporarily leaving, they all expressed their relief.

Yuhengxing herself was working even more overtime; her face, which she used to wear almost no makeup, now required some foundation to cover her dark circles.

Jiang Ning walked straight over and took the pen from Ke Qing's hand: "Alright, it's break time now!"

Ke Qing was startled, then saw Jiang Ning take the pen from her hand, and immediately said indignantly, "What are you doing! Give it back to me!"

As she spoke, she reached out to grab the pen from Jiang Ning's hand, but Jiang Ning pressed down on Ke Qing, preventing her from taking the pen back from him.

"Hey!"

Keqing immediately called out again.

Jiang Ning said, "Ningguang and the others have all told me that you've been working overtime a lot lately... and the staff below you must be suffering too, right? When did I ever let you work like this?"

Keqing said, "The Emperor has relinquished power; this is a time when everything needs to be rebuilt. I cannot..."

"First of all, this isn't the time to rebuild from scratch. Secondly... have you forgotten what I told you before?"

Seeing Ke Qing's somewhat confused look, Jiang Ning understood that the girl hadn't listened to a word she was saying.

Jiang Ning sighed and said:

"Didn't I tell you that you need to slow down your pace? That way, those who follow you will stay close behind you. Otherwise, you'll just drift further and further away alone..."

"You must have felt bad being misunderstood during the invocation ceremony you presided over before, right?"

Keqing said, "That's true, but..."

"You should rest properly when you need to, so that you can be more efficient in your work later. Isn't that what you said yourself?"

"All right……"

Ke Qing had no choice but to agree.

Jiang Ning said, "Now, immediately, go to sleep!"

Ke Qing said, "But I can't sleep."

But seeing Jiang Ning's kind smile and raised fist, Ke Qing still shrank back.

Jiang Ning said, "Then, my dear Miss Yuheng Star, as the next Rock God, I hereby order you to rest... or rather, if you can't sleep, I will help you fall asleep physically?"

Ke Qing immediately replied, "Okay, I'll go to sleep right away!"

Then, Miss Keqing slunk back to sleep.
