Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

"I understand, go follow them."

With Ningguang's order, the fleet set sail, and all the search personnel returned to their ships, following the direction the Fatui had gone.

Despite having her prey stolen, Ningguang showed no anxiety or anger.

She even had a faint smile on her face.

After the fleet tracked them down, they soon spotted the group of Fools waiting in the distance.

The heavily armed ships were arranged in a cone shape, with the young master's ship at the head.

At this moment, the young master was standing at the front of the deck, facing the wind and showing a hearty smile in the direction where the sun was shining brightest.

"Oh? They're here!"

He was happy. Although he didn't really like this kind of scheming job, it didn't seem so unpleasant to use it occasionally.

Most importantly, being able to calculate the fate of Tianquan, one of the seven stars of Liyue, is a great achievement in one's life journey.

Yes, it was a memorable day.

Splash!

On the sea, the two Fools who were on the mission emerged from the water, used the power of the jet engines to leap high into the air, and successfully jumped onto the deck.

"Young Master, we have captured Sha Kui."

"Not bad, not bad."

The young master smiled and patted them on the shoulder.

"You did a great job. You will be given the reward you deserve when we get back."

"Thank you, young master... Let's carry Sha Kui up first, it should still be alive."

"Don't rush, this is our legitimate reason for being here... well, not quite that compelling."

The young master waved his hand and waited with a smile for Ningguang's fleet to approach.

"Haha~ Miss Ningguang, we meet again. I didn't expect to find you at your workplace, but instead meet you on the sea."

In the distance, Ningguang raised her hand, signaling the fleet to stop.

She frowned, her expression showing displeasure, and stared at the young master without saying a word.

"Uh... don't look at me like that. There's an old saying in Liyue, 'All's fair in war,' right? You've been having people stall for time to keep me from coming to Guyun Pavilion, but I am, after all, a diplomatic envoy from Zhidong Kingdom. Shouldn't I have the right to act freely?"

“You’re right, but please don’t forget this is Liyue,” Ningguang said coldly. “These ships you brought haven’t been diplomatically registered, and they’ve used armed firepower without permission. Can I understand this as a provocation from the Winterlands?”

"No, no, no, Miss Ningguang, you've misunderstood."

The young master shrugged, and then a person walked up behind him, holding a document in his hands.

He picked up the document and waved it at Ningguang, saying, "This is the application letter from Her Majesty the Queen. I was only recently notified that Her Majesty ordered us to capture the sea beast 'Calamity' and bring it back to the Winter Kingdom. The big guy below is Calamity's companion, so we will take it with us as well."

"It's my fault for not having time to hand the application to Qixing, but I did look for you. Who told Miss Ningguang not to be here? I received news that Huoyang was here, so I rushed over. So you can't blame me entirely, can you?"

"In a hurry?" Ningguang glanced at him, a half-smile on her face. "I see you're very well prepared, even capable of snatching the spoils from me."

“They told me this was our spoils of war… If there’s any misunderstanding, I’m sorry, I’ll teach them a lesson. But in the end, it’s all the same. Miss Ningguang, I will thank you properly on behalf of the Winter Kingdom after this matter is over.”

The young master deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"no need."

Ningguang waved her hand.

"You don't need to wait until this is over. Just tell me what role Sha Kui played. You went to so much trouble to capture it, how do you plan to use it to lure out the trouble?"

"Gah???"

The young master was taken aback.

He suddenly realized that Ningguang's tone seemed a little off.

It seems the other party knew from the beginning that he was going to use Sha Kui to cause trouble.

"Haha! You're really something, actually trying to outsmart Ningguang. If this gets out, it'll be a laughing stock among all the Liyue people."

Beidou, who had boarded the ship at some unknown time, wrung out his wet hair and stood next to Ningguang, smiling as he spoke.

Young Master: "??"

It does not make sense?

Please, he's in control now, can you at least show some respect?

Cannons! Firepower! Understand?

Do you see this area of ​​heavily armed forces?

Indeed, playing the role of a strategist is not an easy task, nor is it my style.

“Yes, Miss Ningguang, I have a way to lure out the calamity using Shaku, and I’ve even prepared a special method to deal with it. However, I don’t need to tell you. Let’s wait until things are over, and then the Winter Solstice will give Liyue a reasonable explanation.”

"If you insist on acting recklessly, then you'd better think carefully about the current situation. The warriors of the Winter Kingdom take the Queen's orders as their first principle, so a battle is inevitable."

"With the few men you've brought, are you really ready?"

The young master said confidently that he had decided to lay his cards on the table and stop pretending.

Ningguang suddenly chuckled softly: "I should be the one asking that question."

"Young Master, this is Liyue. Are you really prepared to act recklessly?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a cannon shot suddenly came from afar.

Those were warning shots, one after another, shells exploding into columns of water on the sea surface.

In the distance, a row of armed ships suddenly appeared!

The young master was instantly dumbfounded.

"Pfft~"

Beneath the surface of the sea, Su Zhe laughed shamelessly.

...

Chapter 46 Those who scheme are all filthy.

Ships, many ships.

Moreover, each one is an armed ship modified with firepower and controlled by the battle-hardened Thousand Rock Army.

Ships sailed in from afar, their cannonballs striking the open sea and creating waves, demonstrating their genuine power to everyone.

Upon seeing these ships appear, the young master's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't believe the appearance of these ships was a coincidence; it was clearly... he'd been tricked!

"Haha... As expected, I really hate this kind of scheming, and it's definitely not something I'm good at."

The young master rubbed his forehead and let out a helpless laugh.

"As expected of Tianquan Star, he can control Liyue and is even more adept at playing tricks."

Now that things have come to this, the young master has realized that he has been tricked.

When he went to Ningguang to demand the person back, he had probably already fallen into her trap.

The claims of being mistaken for a pirate and suffering heavy losses were merely a ploy to lure him into following the trap plan, while also swindling a large sum of Mora from him.

Moreover, the resonance device was definitely planned in advance; he was foolish enough to think that spending more money would solve the problem.

How heartless!

What a heartless bastard!

"You're wrong. I'm just one of the Seven Stars, managing my own duties. I don't control Liyue, and I certainly don't have that kind of idea."

Ningguang said with a smile.

All of this unfolded according to her plan.

Young Master is not the kind of person who is good at scheming, but he is a normal person. He is just a straightforward person. If someone like him were to do business in Liyue, he would be swindled out of his fortune in no time.

Is this all you're capable of? Trying to be the predator?

No way.

...

"Tsk tsk~ Boss, this woman is terrifying, she actually laid an ambush all along."

Deep underwater, Su Zhe and Shi Tou kept a close eye on the situation.

Upon hearing Su Zhe's words, Shi Tou immediately shouted.

"Boss, you must never marry a woman like this in the future, she'll sell you off!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be taken advantage of? I'm the one who takes advantage of others."

“That makes sense... but I still think it’s too scary. How about you consider that giant octopus, boss? It’s the place we went to last time. It’s a bit fierce, but at least it’s female and has a hole.”

"roll!"

Su Zhe glared at him, annoyed.

He wasn't surprised at all by what he was seeing.

Even so, Su Zhe knew that things wouldn't end so simply.

Anyone who has investigated the young master should know that what can make him submit is the will of the Empress. Any other dangers and obstacles will not only not make him back down, but will excite him.

Once caught in this state of excitement, everything that ordinary people believe in will be overturned.

For example, most people would have tactically evacuated in this situation long ago.

Currently, the Fatui haven't done anything outrageous, so even if Ningguang wanted to, she couldn't stop them.

"Boss, is there no more fighting?"

Stone asked.
