"..."

Ningguang looked at Qin with a smile, but didn't say anything.

Keqin clearly saw the question in that expression: Where's the little whale? Where's the little whale? Where's the little whale?

Although Qin had made preparations, she still underestimated Ningguang's ability to manipulate people's hearts. She wouldn't say anything, she would just watch you, waiting for you to speak, waiting for you to feel ashamed.

It's fine if you're a thick-skinned person.

Having corresponded with Qin for so long, Ningguang had a pretty good grasp of Qin's temperament.

This meticulous and earnest leader adheres to noble etiquette and would never take away someone else's beloved possessions.

"Ningguang, I..."

"By the way, how's the thing I asked you to do going?"

"You mean?"

"Sigh~ My Kyogre, don't let his silly and dull appearance fool you, he's actually quite cunning. And he's so cute, he attracts attention wherever he goes, especially girls."

Indeed, Shenhe, Beidou, Keqing, and now Qin.

One after another came.

Ha, she wanted to see how many more people would try to take advantage of her little whale.

"About Kyogre, actually..." Jean sighed softly, "I'm sorry Ningguang, I misunderstood before. I thought he wasn't the one you mentioned in your letter, so I replied with 'I didn't see it.' I'm truly sorry."

Ningguang smiled.

She believed Qin's words. After their conversation, she could tell that Qin was not the kind of person who was hypocritical.

Thinking this, Ningguang heard Qin's tone change again.

"However... as far as I know, Ningguang, you and Kyogre haven't known each other for very long, have you?"

At this moment, Ningguang's expression finally changed.

"What do you mean?"

She looked at Qin, and with her keen mind, she gleaned a special message from what Qin had just said.

Based on the inquiries made along the way, as well as the intelligence obtained before, the entire Mondstadt region now regards Kyogre as the 'guardian fish of the nation'.

She stopped Dvalin's attack on Mondstadt several times, helped Jean recover Dvalin at crucial moments, and even slapped the Fatui in the face. In addition, she was a member of the Anemo Familia.

Such a thing would not be easily relinquished by any wise leader.

To be fair, if Ningguang were in Qin's position, she probably would have made the same choice.

That's why she came all the way from Liyue City without hesitation.

"Qin, what are you trying to say with those words?"

Ningguang still had a smile on her face, but the smile was no longer as gentle as before, and her eyes had become sharp and piercing.

The aura of Tianquan Ningguang is truly extraordinary.

When facing ordinary people, if you are at a disadvantage, you will inevitably fall into a disadvantageous position.

However, Qin was a person who had seen the world.

Having served as a battalion commander, fought against giant beasts, and even seen gods, she was equally unyielding in her eye contact with Ningguang.

“It’s nothing, I just think…” Jean took a light breath and said seriously, “Perhaps it would be better to let Kyogre stay in Mondstadt.”

"Oh why?"

"Because he is now a member of the Wind God's retinue, it is really not suitable for him to go to Liyue."

The Wind God's familiars went to Liyue and have an ambiguous relationship with the Liyue Seven Stars. What will outsiders think?

It's like the Rock King's retinue coming to Mondstadt to help with its development.

Originally, once the favor was done, that was that; at most, it could be said that the two countries had friendly relations and the gods had harmonious relations.

But it wouldn't make sense to stay here indefinitely.

You're letting Tuozi Ge jump around in Mondstadt every day, what kind of talk is that?

"Heh~ A familiar of the Wind God? I don't recall Kyogre ever having such an identity. I met him before him and we even made a private agreement. The fact that he helped Mondstadt overcome the Dragon Plague only proves that he is indeed a kind-hearted child."

Ningguang narrowed her eyes slightly.

"But this kindness shouldn't be used as a shackle to imprison him. Besides, as far as I know, the Wind God's familiar should be that dragon, right? Now that he has it, why is he still eyeing someone else's? Captain Jean, isn't that a bit too much?"

Kyogre's existence could even pave the way for Liyue's future development into the sea, making him an important guardian of the Liyue seas.

This is very important for Liyue, since Liyue Harbor is primarily a trading hub with merchant ships from various countries coming and going, so maritime security is naturally of paramount importance.

While the Rock King Emperor is powerful, he is, after all, the God of Rock.

It now appears that the demons of Teyvat are most different from ordinary beings in that they possess the powers that belong to the demons.

Kyogre lives in the sea; he is a child of the sea, and his powers are naturally perfectly manifested in the sea.

For this reason alone, Ningguang, as one of the Seven Stars, would not easily give up.

Even if a god came, he couldn't touch her little whale!

“Ningguang, Mondstadt didn’t mean to imprison Kyogre. I was just thinking, why not give him a choice?”

Do you think Kyogre will pick Mondstadt?

"At least I don't think he had no attachment to Mondstadt at all."

"Because of the wind god's grace?"

"No, it's because of his bond with Mondstadt."

"A bond, huh...?"

Ningguang smiled inexplicably, remaining silent as she calmly gazed at Qin.

The two were positioned above the steps in front of the gates of Mondstadt.

While they were talking, a commotion suddenly broke out at the gate.

As the chilling power of frost rapidly spread, the two figures engaged in a chase, one after the other.

"Su Zhe! Stop right there!"

"Miss Yura, I've already said it's a misunderstanding. Can't we sit down and talk this out?"

"Stop!"

"Then put your sword away!"

"Su Zhe!?"

Qin was slightly taken aback.

Just as she was about to go and stop Yura, a figure suddenly flashed before her eyes. Just as Yura raised her sword to slash at Su Zhe, a spear with a cold gleam flashed by!

bite!--

A crisp sound.

Yura landed backwards from mid-air, looking at the white-haired woman who had suddenly appeared with a surprised expression.

On the steps, Ningguang smiled slightly: "Excuse me, Captain Qin, I also have the kind of bond you mentioned."

Chapter 18 Activation, Constellation! The Vanished Kyogre

Shen He's sudden appearance startled Su Zhe.

If he could hear the hammering of the Mondstadt blacksmith's shop right next door, he would have thought that Yura had chased him all the way to Liyue.

"Shen He? What brings you here?"

Having not seen him for a while, Su Zhe quite missed this white-haired immortal.

After all, Shenhe can be said to be his first human friend, and Shenhe's experience made him feel empathy and resonance.

Furthermore, Shen He helped him several times in times of crisis, so their relationship could definitely be described as that of close brothers.

"Are you OK?"

Shen He turned his head and asked softly.

Su Zhe was taken aback: "You recognize me?"

“Ningguang told me about your features, and that we’ve met before, although your hair color is different now.”

"Oh, that time, right... Hmm? Wait, Ningguang?"

Su Zhe followed Shen He's gaze and saw Ning Guang standing on the steps, waving at him with a smile.

Meanwhile, the leader of the troupe standing to the side had a very complicated expression, clearly not expecting Ningguang to pull such a move.

"Shen He, why are you with Ning Guang...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Zhe turned around and found that Shen He had already rushed out.

Ding ding ding ding!!

The white-haired immortal was as fierce as ever, his frost-covered spear thrusting out swiftly and violently. Yura, caught off guard by the attack, had no choice but to defend herself while retreating.

"Hey! Who are you?"

After finally regaining her composure, Yura tried to deal with the situation while simultaneously questioning the woman.

"There must be a reason for attacking someone out of nowhere, right? Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble for attacking a member of the Knights of Favonius!"

She was certain that Mondstadt did not have such a person.

This chilling and imposing aura was even stronger than the most ferocious monster she had ever dealt with, and the monstrous strength emanating from the spear was also difficult for her to withstand. In addition, with that striking white hair, if it had ever appeared in Mondstadt, Amber should have noticed it long ago.

Wait a minute, Yura suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to have stood up for Su Zhe just now.

"Damn it! They even brought in backup. I'll remember this grudge!"

Su Zhe was speechless. What kind of time is this to still hold a grudge?

"Alright, Shen He, she's not a bad person, don't hurt her."

Upon hearing Su Zhe speak, Shen He unleashed a strike that knocked Yura back, then turned around.
