Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

[Affection for Gu Jing: 85 (Inner thoughts: The names Jiheng and Xuanji have a certain mystical quality, but wanting Ningguang to take maternity leave? Someone is still a long way off!)]

[The mutual affection level is below 90.]

[The Primal Stone Wish feature is not yet available.]

******

No sooner had Ningguang left than Xiangling rushed in with the finished snow pork jerky. A few pieces were missing from the food box, but Ningguang had already tried them first.

As for why she was able to make meat jerky in one day? Well, that's thanks to Guoba Laotie's tireless dedication of breathing fire and fanning the flames all night long!

Upon learning of this, Gu Jing was both amused and exasperated: "Have you tried the crispy rice?"

"Hehe~ Don't worry about the rice crust."

"Yesterday we gave Him over 100 jin of raw materials to make dried meat!"

"I only received about 20 kilograms today!"

"He must have stolen some of the crispy rice!"

"bad!"

"However, I've only made the original flavor of snow pork jerky so far."

Regarding the taste...

"Does Brother Gu Jing have any suggestions?"

As fellow food lovers, Xiangling developed a very high opinion of Gu Jing after they explored the entire Mondstadt region together.

Gu Jing spoke with great interest: "Then I must tell you about it..."

******

On Sunday evening, responding to the invitation from the veteran driver Zhong Li, Gu Jing strode towards the port with an air of indifference.

Then, he boarded the large ship, the Pearl Pavilion, on the boatman Pinghai's vessel. Just as he was about to start a live broadcast, he saw Yelan standing on the deck, smiling and staring at him.

"How about it? You see me here..."

"Weren't you surprised?"

Gu Jing smiled and nodded: "It was indeed a bit unexpected, but upon closer inspection, it seems quite normal. After all, this Pearl Pavilion is an official trading venue approved by the Seven Stars, so it naturally needs someone trusted by the Seven Stars to be in charge of its management. Therefore... Rouran, the behind-the-scenes owner of the Pearl Pavilion, should be one of your many identities, right?"

Ye Lan smiled and tilted her chin up: "You can understand it that way, but the name Rou Ran is just a code name. It could be me, or Ning Guang, or even... it could be you. It's more convenient to have more identities when you're walking in this world."

Gu Jing wholeheartedly agreed: "Indeed, when you're in the world of martial arts, you're bound to get hurt. Having multiple aliases is definitely a good thing. By the way, would Boss Rouran like to introduce me to some business opportunities?"

After hearing this, Ye Lan smiled and shook her head: "I won't participate in your party. After all, everyone wants their own private space."

"But you absolutely must remember to take me home after the party, okay?"

"After all, I came here specifically to see you."

"At that time..."

We're at your house...

"Throughout the night..."

"A long talk~~"

She raised her hand and traced an arc across Gu Jing's chest, then smiled and licked her lips, her seductive intent was all too obvious.

They met each other's gazes, exchanged a meaningful glance, and then Ye Lan gracefully walked away from Gu Jing's sight.

******

Before long, Gu Jing's live stream started. He opened the room number on the invitation and saw Zhong Li sitting in the room drinking tea.

After looking around, he couldn't help but complain, "Seriously, old man? You came to this brothel just for a cup of tea?"

Zhongli, blowing on his tea, remained calm and composed: "From a general rational point of view, the tea at Zhudianfang is indeed quite good. If you would like to order food, I would not mind. Although Zhudianfang is a business of prostitution, there are still many respectable women there."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jing immediately revealed a smile that all men understand: "You even know the slang for ordering food. It seems you've been here quite a few times. If I didn't know that you, old Zhong, are as steady as a rock, I would probably think you've actually eaten here before."

As they spoke, Gu Jing sat down opposite Zhong Li: "So, what's the matter that you called me here for?"

"..."

After a brief silence, Zhongli seemed to be thinking about how to start the conversation.

Then, as if making up her mind, she nodded to him while holding the teacup in her hand: "Since that's the case, I'll just say it directly."

"Liyue has now passed the test I set."

"But as you know, Liyue passed the test by relying on your power."

"Being able to rely on external forces is also a skill."

"I won't deny that."

"But you will leave one day."

"So it's for Liyue."

"I would like to ask you to assume the position of the second Geo God."

Having already received this commission, Gu Jing was not surprised, but those watching the live stream were somewhat shocked.

Gu Jing didn't give a direct answer, but instead asked, "Is it because of wear and tear?"

"...Exactly."

Caught off guard, Zhongli chose to admit: "Wearing and erosion are things that the laws of nature impose upon us. My old friend Ruoduo lost his mind and attacked Liyue because of wearing and erosion. At that time, I was there to stop him, but what if it were my turn someday?"

******

Gu Jing did not answer, but flicked his finger and released a burst of abundant power: "How does it feel?"

"this..."

Old Zhong was quite shocked, and after carefully examining the symptoms, he still felt somewhat unsatisfied: "It has an effect, but not much."

"As long as it works."

Gu Jing remained noncommittal: "After all, I haven't reached my full potential yet."

"And it's only a matter of time."

Even if every day is just about playing around and having fun.

"Within 10 years, I will be able to completely eradicate the wear and tear between you and Tuozi."

So...

"Don't even think about trying to take advantage of me."

Zhongli: "..." Old Dragon remained silent.jpg

Nodding silently, Zhongli was also somewhat puzzled: "Can you tell me? What is your reason?"

Gu Jing smiled upon hearing this: "If I had to say... my journey is to the stars and the sea. Teyvat is my starting point, but my journey will not end here. What I care about is not the scenery along the way, but the people who accompany me to see the scenery."

"Speaking of..."

"Ahem... We can't just sit here chatting and do nothing, can we?"

"And I've always heard that you also have a female incarnation."

"As the price for treating you."

"Want to try changing it?"

The people of Liyue were all horrified: Calm down, Emperor! Don't fall for his trick! You'll be in for three days and three nights!

Chapter Fifty-Three: Ningguang's Best Friend! Long Xiaoyun's Actions!

[Pearl-Inlaid Boat]

Zhong Li refused Gu Jing's request to transform, saying it was too troublesome and not entertaining. Gu Jing then took his leave and prepared to go find Ye Lan, whom he had arranged to meet.

He hadn't gone far when Old Zhong's nostalgic sigh for Fei Tuo reached his ears again: "I wanted to buy osmanthus flowers and share wine, but alas, my old friend... when will we meet again?"

"..."

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Gu Jingren was numb. He turned around, pushed open the door, and reached out to Zhong Li, saying, "Give me the Lock of the Mortal World."

Zhongli, still sitting in her chair, was utterly puzzled: "Why is that?"

"Hey~ Of course I want to see if there are any remnants of the consciousness of the finality inside."

"Even at its worst, it still has the aura of its inevitable end, right?"

"Then we'll storm the ley lines!"

"Based on her scent, we'll retrieve all her memories and information!"

"Then I can revive her!"

"but--"

"Don't blame me for not telling you beforehand."

"If I were to resurrect him."

"I definitely have feelings for her."

At this point, Gu Jing's gaze was fixed on him. Zhong Li, who was being stared at, smiled because he knew that since Gu Jing had waited until now to tell him about this, he must be confident!

Thinking of this, Zhongli smiled and nodded: "My friend, rest assured, folk tales are not to be believed. In the end, he is just my friend."

"However, please forgive me, my friend, as it is ultimately inconvenient for me to interfere in Gui Zhong's private affairs."

"But if my friend can return home, it will be a good thing."

"I will definitely present a congratulatory gift at that time!"

"Furthermore, if my friend encounters any difficulties in handling this matter..."
