Morax is dead, Liyue will fall into my hands.

She could even imagine that when Li Ye actually proposed, Ke Qing and the others might say they were reluctant, but they would definitely be overjoyed inside.

Thinking about this, Gan Yu became somewhat unhappy again.

Seeing this, Li Ye could only continue to patiently persuade him: "That's something to do after we return from Jueyun Pass."

For now, let's not think about these things.

So, Xiaomei, have you thought it through? When should we go to Jueyun Mountain? That way, I can prepare in advance.

Upon hearing that Jueyunjian had returned, Gan Yu's sour mood vanished instantly.

Yes, no matter what, that's something that will happen after Li Ye proposes to me.

Hmph, no matter what, I still have to get there first.

Volume 5: The New Geo Archon Will Be Coroned in Liyue Today: Chapter 7: The Ascended Yae God

The Lantern Festival has just ended, and it's not time to go back to work yet.

When people are bored and there aren't many interesting forms of entertainment, gossip becomes the cheapest and most entertaining pastime.

Therefore, the "Wanmin Daily" was published as scheduled and quickly sold out.

After reading the newspaper articles, the onlookers in Liyue Harbor began to eagerly anticipate when Mr. Li would propose.

However, day after day passed, and the matter seemed to come to an abrupt end, with no further developments.

Li Ye was indeed not in a hurry, because according to Gan Yu's plan, he intended to return to Jueyunjian on the sixth day after the Lantern Festival ended.

There was no other special meaning; it was simply because the fifth day after the Lantern Festival was the time to return to work. Choosing the sixth day was to finish handing over the work at hand, and then return to Yunjian with Li Ye, and also to have some time alone together.

At least that's what Gan Yu thinks.

Neither Li Ye nor Gan Yu were in a hurry, but it was obvious that someone else was.

When Ke Qing first heard the news, she was still struggling with how she should respond when Li Ye proposed to her.

For example, I'm still young and don't want to think about marriage right now?

Or how about proposing? It's not impossible, but since you've already seen everything about her, it's the only option left.

Of course, you could also just agree directly, and then smugly tell Li Ye: "At least you still have some conscience, otherwise you'd be in for a world of hurt when you marry Gan Yu."

The problem is, Ke Qing imagined many possibilities, but she never considered what would happen if Li Ye didn't propose to her.

However, the reality is that so many days have passed, and there has been no further news.

Li Ye had tried to contact Ke Qing several times, but at first Ke Qing avoided him and didn't answer his messages, seemingly unsure how to continue their relationship.

After hearing about the proposal and receiving a message from Li Ye, Ke Qing decided to lend him the money. After all, if she kept hiding, she wouldn't have a chance to confess her feelings.

What made Ke Qing furious was that after the call, Li Ye started talking to her about work again.

Not only did they not propose, but they also completely ignored the news published in the newspapers, as if they knew nothing about it.

This made Ke Qing seriously suspect that Li Ye was playing hard to get!

He deliberately kept himself in suspense.

Keqing thought this way, and Ningguang thought about it similarly.

At first, she was hesitant and unsure how to respond to Li Ye.

Seeing that Li Ye was ignoring her completely and not following up at all, Ningguang wanted nothing more than to rush to Guiliyuan Market and ask him what he was thinking!

I've been waiting for your news at Qunyu Pavilion every day for three or four days now, why haven't I heard anything yet?

If Keqing and Ningguang were already somewhat exasperated, then Kurumi was completely oblivious to everything else.

In her opinion, she was confident of victory, so all she had to do was wait.

However, these past few days, although Lei Yingdian has been living with Li Ye, the way he looks at Li Ye has changed somewhat, with a hint of avoidance in his eyes.

Unlike Ningguang and Keqing, Lei Yingdian seems to have feelings for Li Ye, but they are far from being lovers.

However, Lei Films seems unable to completely refuse without hesitation; it's more accurate to say that there's still some expectation in their hearts.

Because they couldn't make a decision for a long time, they chose to escape.

However, while everyone was hesitant, Yae no Miko finally couldn't resist and was the first to approach Li Ye.

In Gui Liyuan's office, Li Ye looked at Yae no Miko with a forced smile and asked knowingly, "When does Miko plan to return to Inazuma?"

Yae no Miko smiled and said, "Captain Jean and Miss Barbara haven't returned to Mondstadt yet, why am I in such a hurry?"

But brother-in-law, congratulations are truly in order.

Li Ye feigned complete ignorance and said, "Congratulations for what? Does the Divine Child have something important to discuss with me?"

Seeing that Li Ye was pretending to be deaf and dumb, Yae no Miko did not continue to play riddles. She went straight to the point and said, "I heard that my brother-in-law seems to want to propose to our Inazuma Raiden General."

Li Ye laughed to himself, thinking to himself, "They're all old foxes, why are they trying to tell me about Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?"

Are you concerned about Aying?

You're clearly only concerned about yourself!

Li Ye continued with a surprised expression, "Where did you hear this, Divine Child? How come I don't know about it?"

"Brother-in-law doesn't know? That's strange. It's all over Liyue Harbor now." As she spoke, Yae no Miko magically produced a copy of the "People's Daily" and handed it to Li Ye, saying, "Not only Aying, but even Ningguang, Keqing, and Jean from Mondstadt are on the list. Brother-in-law, you can't really not know, can you?"

Li Ye quickly skimmed through the newspaper. It was actually pretty much what he expected, except there were a few more names.

He listed all the people Li Ye was on good terms with.

This wasn't Zhongli adding scenes on the spot; it was simply because the rumors in Liyue Harbor were getting worse, with all sorts of different opinions emerging.

It's only natural that Zhongli would add a few more with high reputation.

But the Eighth Divine Child was conspicuously absent...

Li Ye thought to himself, "No wonder. The content of this report... is indeed somewhat insulting to the Divine Child."

After reading the newspaper, he casually put it on the table and said, "These kinds of reports are mostly exaggerated and shouldn't be taken seriously at all."

"I really do plan to propose, you know that, to your sister."

Yae no Miko asked urgently, "And then?"

Li Ye didn't understand and asked, "Then what?"

Yae no Miko pressed further, "Of course, it was after I proposed to Sister Gan Yu."

Li Ye said speechlessly, "After proposing, of course we'll find a date to get married. What more do you want?"

"Who asked that!" Yae no Miko sneered, "After proposing to Sister Ganyu, are there also Miss Ningguang, Miss Keqing, and now you have to propose to Aying?"

Instead of answering, Li Ye asked, "Divine Child, do you think they would agree if I proposed to them too?"

"How should I know!" Yae no Miko said, giving Li Ye a speechless glare.

Seeing this, Li Ye thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "How about this, Shenzi, could you help your brother-in-law sound out everyone's opinions? Ask them if they're willing."

Yae no Miko: "What if everyone is willing?"

Li Ye leaned back strategically, adopting a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, and said, "As the saying goes, the capable are often burdened with more work, so of course I don't mind."

Yae no Miko leaned forward, practically touching her face to Li Ye, and said in a seductive tone, "So, brother-in-law, why don't you ask your sister-in-law if she's willing?"

Volume 5: The New Geo Archon Will Be Coroned in Liyue Today: No updates this morning, normal double updates will resume in the evening, continuing until the book is completed;

Because of my new book, I've been talking to friends about writing it non-stop these past two days.

We talk for an average of four or five hours a day.

I realized that although I had mastered some writing skills, I had completely missed the point.

The conversation completely broke me down; my mind was a jumbled mess, and I realized I had no idea how to write a book.

In the end, we decided to put aside the new book for now and focus on finishing this one first.

Then take a long vacation, read more other books, and learn from other people's writing styles.

If this continues, I'm afraid I won't even dare to write books anymore.

Volume 5: The New Geo Archon Will Be Coroned in Liyue Today: Chapter 8: The Fox's Tail (First Update)

Faced with the "aggressive" Yae no Miko, Li Ye quickly distanced himself with a look of disgust and said, "Since you're already my sister-in-law, stop thinking about stealing your brother-in-law. Be careful or your sister Gan Yu will hang you up and beat you."

Although Yae no Miko's words were very tempting, Li Ye realized when he was sober that if he said he had ideas at this moment, Yae no Miko would definitely say, "Brother-in-law, you wish."

Conversely, if he has no ideas, then Yae no Miko will definitely continue to press his advantage.

So Li Ye didn't hesitate to bring up Gan Yu, trying to use this method to subdue this scoundrel.

Unfortunately, Yae no Miko wasn't buying it at all. She pressed her advantage and said, "Brother-in-law, you're wrong. There's a saying in Liyue: 'A wife is not as good as a stolen one, and a stolen one is not as good as one you can't have.' So isn't a sister-in-law even more exciting?"

Li Ye's face darkened, utterly speechless: "So, is the Divine Child planning to steal my brother-in-law?"

When Yae no Miko heard Li Ye's question, she was stunned for a couple of seconds. Wasn't she just reminding him that he could steal from her? How did it suddenly turn around?

However, Yae no Miko was a veteran of countless battles... or rather, she had mentally experienced countless battles while reading light novels, so she quickly calmed down and gave a charmingly tacit yes: "What if that's the case?"

Li Ye extended his right index finger and gently tapped Yae no Miko's forehead, pushing her a little away before continuing, "Your brother-in-law is as heavy as Mount Ao, it would be quite difficult for him to steal from me."

"Hmph!" Yae no Miko sat back down and snorted, "It's my brother-in-law who wanted to cheat on me, otherwise why didn't he refuse me at all?"

"If I refuse, won't the divine child just go even further in tormenting my brother-in-law?"

Li Ye paused here, then laughed and said, "Never mind, I'm not joking anymore."

What are your thoughts on the future of the Divine Child? I mean, what about the future developments regarding Liyue and Inatsume?

When Yae no Miko saw Li Ye start talking about Liyue and Inazuma, she felt a surge of pride.

When the other party uses the tactic of changing the subject, it means that they have begun to "fear" it.

Hmph, so you do have some ideas after all.

This kind of hypocrisy is not typical of Mr. Li.

However, Yae no Miko did not continue to press him for answers, mainly because it would be difficult to extract anything from him through interrogation.
