Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

So, next...

"Congratulations, guest! You have received five Fire Slime Keychains!"

"Again!"

"Congratulations, guest! You have received five Water Slime Keychains!"

"Again!"

"Congratulations, guest! You have received five Ice Slime Keychains!"

"Again!"

Watching Keqing take away a bunch of keychains, the boss's face under the mask was practically contorted with laughter. He never expected that a bunch of keychains could be exchanged for so much Mora. He could only sigh and say, "Liyue is truly economically developed."

After collecting all seven elemental slime keychains, Keqing also collected all the figurines symbolizing the seven types of slimes. She even managed to get more than thirty of the seven types of Rai slime figurines. Completely engrossed, Keqing threw all her Mora onto the table, rolled up her sleeves, and was ready to go all out.

The shopkeeper, who was already overjoyed, didn't forget to count how many times Keqing had drawn. When she drew ninety times, the shopkeeper generously gave Keqing a half-human-sized Rei Slime doll. Upon seeing the doll, Keqing's face darkened even more.

"I refuse to believe I won't pull the Geo Archon doll today!"

When Keqing reached into her pocket to try and get five more draws, she realized that her pockets were already empty. "Damn it, I should have brought more Mora," Keqing complained to herself. "Am I going to have to borrow money from my friends?"

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Ke Qing erased it. She couldn't let anyone else know that she liked the Emperor doll; it was her deepest secret.

"Hey, isn't this Keqing? You really want my enemy doll?"

The familiar tone reached Ke Qing's ears, and her expression froze as she slowly turned her head. Behind her, Su Bai was eating candied hawthorns while looking at her with a teasing gaze.

"Su Bai, when did you get behind me?"

Ke Qing's voice trembled slightly. Su Bai thought for a moment and gave Ke Qing the answer she least wanted to hear.

"Hmm~ I was here when you started the lottery."

As if he had thought of something, Su Bai hurriedly added a sentence before Ke Qing could speak.

"Don't worry, I'm just waiting for someone here. I won't compete with you for the Emperor's doll. Keqing, you can continue."

"you you you!"

Ke Qing blushed, her usual carefree and capable demeanor vanishing without a trace. Looking at Su Bai's expression of complete ignorance, Ke Qing clutched her clothes and whispered something.

"Su Bai, can you lend me some Mora?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

Su Bai could hardly believe his ears, and even more so, he couldn't believe that Ke Qing had said those words. After all, the Ke family was one of the most prominent families in Liyue. As the eldest daughter of the Ke family, Ke Qing would actually borrow Mora from him. If this were to be told, probably few people would believe it.

"What do you mean 'ah'? Hurry up and take all the Mora out of your body. I'll return it to you when I get home this afternoon."

"Hehe, although we're good friends, Ke Qing, you don't want others to know you like the Emperor doll, right? As long as you..."

"Stop talking nonsense and get Mora out of here. If Hu Tao causes any trouble in the future, I'll speak up for her."

Before Su Bai could finish speaking, Ke Qing interrupted him. After two years of getting along, Ke Qing had come to know Su Bai quite well. The only person who could give Su Bai a headache was Hu Tao, the head of the Hu family.

Moreover, she and Su Bai had worked together for two months to draft a plan to improve workers' treatment, so they had gone through hardships together. She believed that Mora Su Bai would lend her this money.

Since Su Bai had already seen it, Ke Qing decided to throw caution to the wind. As long as she got the Emperor's doll, it wouldn't matter if Su Bai said a few words to her.

Moreover, since only Su Bai saw it, Ke Qing didn't think it was a big deal. She and Su Bai had a fairly good relationship, and she believed that Su Bai wouldn't tell anyone.

"Well, Keqing, don't you know me? What Mora could I possibly have on me? If it's inconvenient for you, you can put the bill on the Hall of Rebirth, and you can send the Mora to the Hall of Rebirth later."

Su Bai could tell that Ke Qing didn't want to reveal her identity, so he stopped teasing her. Instead, he used his own way of paying bills in Liyue Harbor. Ke Qing's eyes lit up; it seemed like a good idea indeed.

"Boss, keep drawing! I refuse to believe I won't get one. Put it on the bill for the Rebirth Hall."

"Okay, go ahead and smoke."

The shop owner clearly recognized Su Bai as one of the two heroes of the Hall of Rebirth, but compared to Mora, he valued Su Bai's immortal status more. If he could establish a good relationship and get the immortal's signature, wouldn't it become a family heirloom in a few hundred years? Even if his descendants squandered the family fortune, they would still be able to live a wealthy life in Liyue with this signature.

However, Su Bai clearly didn't want to pay any attention to this merchant with the strange mask. In his memory, the merchant named Riben he met in Inazuma was much more conscientious than this one. It's just that Riben, despite his conscience, always lost money in business, and he wondered where Riben was now.

"Yay! The shipment finally arrived!"

Ke Qing jumped up immediately upon receiving the prize slip. To be honest, she had never been this happy, not even when she was appointed as the Jade Balance Star.

"Congratulations, young lady, this is your grand prize: the Rock King Emperor doll."

"I, Mihaly Cleveland, have traveled to many countries, and I have never seen such a devout believer as you, Miss. The Rock God is truly a great deity!"

Seeing Ke Qing hugging the Emperor doll that was as tall as a person, Su Bai suddenly realized that he didn't really understand Ke Qing before. Thinking about the unconventional things Ke Qing said before, it seemed to make some sense. However, Ke Qing was hiding her true feelings too well. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Su Bai would never have believed that Ke Qing would like the Rock King Emperor doll so much.

"Hiss~ Su Bai, this young lady is spending Mora like crazy! Including the number of times you just told me, she drew a full 180 times before she got that Rock King doll. That's terrifying."

"But since this young lady likes the Rock King Emperor's doll so much, she must be a loyal follower of the Rock King Emperor, just like Barbara."

Paimon, while munching on Mora meat, remarked on Keqing's fanaticism for her faith. A loyal believer? Perhaps she could be considered one? Su Bai pondered Keqing's words, unsure how to evaluate her for a moment.

"Who? Who's there?"

As her excitement gradually subsided, Paimon's words caught Keqing's attention. Seeing two more strangers appear beside Su Bai, Keqing's face flushed red instantly.

She originally thought that only Su Bai knew this secret, but now there are two more people. Fortunately, these two people seem to have a good relationship with Su Bai, so they probably won't spread it around.

"Ying, maybe we should go. If we don't leave soon, we might get into trouble."

"Wait, it seems we don't need to move anymore; trouble has already begun."

Keqing's friends had already bought all the silk, and the group originally planned to go directly to find Keqing. However, instead of finding Keqing, they found Su Bai, the fox spirit.

Su Bai, with a bitter face, turned to look at the stall. Ke Qing was nowhere to be seen. Seeing the beautiful women quickly approaching him in a surrounding manner, Su Bai felt terrible.

Chapter 154 Ningguang's Arrangements

"Lady Ningguang, this is Lady Keqing's activity schedule for today."

Bai Shi respectfully handed Ning Guang a piece of paper covered with strange symbols. Ning Guang glanced at it and paused on the symbol that represented the name Su Bai. Why was Ke Qing trying to find out something about meeting Su Bai, this immortal, at this time? Ning Guang picked up her tea, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Did these two say anything?"

"Lady Ningguang, according to the scouts, Lady Keqing seems to have borrowed some Mora from Immortal Su Bai..."

Bai Shi's words almost made Ningguang choke on her tea. What the heck? Keqing asked Su Bai to borrow Mora? Did this spy get the names mixed up?

Bai Shi was also very surprised, but that was the message the scout had sent, and she didn't dare to change it without permission. Ning Guang picked up the paper and continued reading. After seeing Ke Qing excitedly go home with an Emperor doll in her arms, Ning Guang had some guesses about the matter.

"It seems that our Yuheng Star may become more interested in things like lotteries in the future."

"Baiwen, give the order to find some skilled craftsmen to make a few figurines of the Emperor, and then sell them at the entrance of the Imperial Carving Mansion through a lottery."

"Remember, it must be made exquisitely, and the person setting up the stall must be someone Ke Qing doesn't know."

"Yes, Lady Ningguang."

Bai Wen, who was behind Ningguang, bowed and left the room. Ningguang narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the intelligence on the table. Just last night, a spy had sent her news that the Fatui might be planning to attack the Golden House. This morning, several more spies sent news about the Fatui loitering near the Golden House.

"It seems that the executor of the Fools is very interested in what's in the Golden House, since he's mobilized so many Fools to scout the area around the Golden House."

Ningguang narrowed her eyes. She didn't know why the young master did this, but it was also a good opportunity to test whether the Rock King Emperor had really passed away.

If the Emperor has passed away and the young master emerges unharmed from the Golden House, he will be met with the siege of the Thousand Rock Army. If the Emperor is still alive, he will be met with the wrath of the Rock King Emperor. Both scenarios would be fatal for the young master.

"Give the order to the Thousand Rock Army stationed at the Golden House: if anyone tries to break into the Golden House and is very strong, they should be given priority to save their lives."

"By the way, have the Thousand Rock Army stationed in Liyue Harbor start monitoring the Fatui in Liyue Harbor. At the same time, have all the Thousand Rock Army prepare for battle. I have a feeling that a storm is brewing."

"Lady Ningguang, is it enough to let the Thousand Rock Army see the Fatui in Liyue Harbor? According to the spies, there are many secret bases of the Fatui hidden in Liyue."

Hyakushi wisely reminded Ningguang of something. Ningguang could forget this information, but Hyakushi, who was in charge of the Fatui intelligence, could not. In response to Hyakushi's reminder, Ningguang revealed a mysterious smile.

"Don't worry, I've already found a helper to deal with the wild Fools, and this helper is quite strong."

In the countryside, Zhongli stood alone in front of the Seven Gods statue, gazing up at the statue that symbolized the Rock God. Once upon a time, this place was a battlefield where elemental forces flew everywhere. Back then, he had not yet suffered the wear and tear he has now, and none of his old friends had left.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed. Liyue has grown from a toddler into a capable adult. His mission may have been completed. Let Liyue develop on its own for the rest of the time.

Perhaps what that Jade Balance Star said is true; he can protect Liyue for a hundred years, ten hundred years, and a thousand hundred years? Now it seems that all he, the Geo King, and the other immortals need to do is to provide a safety net for Liyue when it encounters a major disaster.

"Zhongli, we brought the perfume back! Zhongli, were you staring blankly at the statue just now? Did you wait too long?"

"Oh, you're back. I didn't wait too long; it was just a fleeting moment compared to the watchfulness represented by the idol."

Paimon scratched his head, somewhat confused by Zhongli's words. How could Zhongli, so young, speak with such an old-fashioned air? Had he been thinking too much and damaged his brain? Indeed, one should think like her and consider what to eat next.

Zhongli ignored Paimon's strange look and instead looked at Su Bai, who was in a disheveled state next to Ying. Su Bai was covered in the smell of rouge and powder, which made Zhongli curious. Could Chunxiang Kiln really be that kind of place?

"Don't look at me like that. I didn't expect to run into those women on the street either."

"Those women are really something. They're all rich young ladies, how come they have no self-respect at all?"

Su Bai wiped the rouge and powder off his body with a tissue. He didn't know who had leaked his real age. These women went crazy after they found out his real age. Every time they saw him, they looked at him as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Zhong Li chuckled. These noble ladies valued more than just Su Bai's immortal status; their families valued his bloodline even more. If one of their daughters was pregnant with Su Bai's child, then that family wouldn't have to worry about the Seven Stars' blade falling on their heads in Liyue.

Having a descendant of an immortal is like having a life-saving treasure. Such a great temptation would have led Su Bai to be kidnapped by those powerful families if he hadn't been quite strong.

Moreover, Su Bai grew up in the mortal world, so he was neither arrogant nor had any strange habits. His kind personality in front of outsiders added a lot of points to his image.

Thinking about how all those aristocratic families had sent gifts to him, Zhongli stroked his chin. Perhaps these families were also a good source of income. He could make use of them after the Immortal Sending Ceremony to reduce the expenses of the Hall of Rebirth.

"But being surrounded by so many pretty girls, Su Bai, you must have enjoyed it, right?"

"Enjoyment? I have no feelings for those rich girls. Ying, don't say anything more. They all approached me with ulterior motives. I don't want to have anything to do with those kinds of people."

Ying's words almost made Su Bai jump up. He had no liking for these guys with such strong ulterior motives. He'd rather go and spar with Shen He than chat and go shopping with these rich heiresses.

"I didn't expect Su Bai to see things so clearly, so I'm relieved."

Zhongli sighed. Over the years since Liyue was founded, he had been optimistic about countless ordinary people, but in the end, very few of them could truly satisfy him. Countless heroes and valiant men fell for the Mora and beauties offered by the noble families, willingly becoming their slaves.

"By the way, how's the perfume coming along?"

"Hehe, you can rest assured that I can handle things. If you encounter something like this again, just go to Ying. Miss Ying taught Ying how to make perfume."

Paimon patted her chest, quite proud. As she spoke, she seemed to have discovered a great way to make a fortune. Since Miss Ying had taught Ying how to make perfume, then Ying could make the perfume for the future Fairy Ritual and earn a large sum of Mora.

Chapter 155 Ningguang's Helper

Su Bai's lips twitched. Immortals have extremely long lifespans, and the Immortal Sending Ceremony only happens once every few hundred years. How come Paimon makes it sound like the Immortal Sending Ceremony happens all the time?

"I never expected that you could solve such a difficult problem. You are truly amazing."
