In his memory of playing Genshin Impact in his previous life, there were not so many Thousand Rocks troops stationed on the road to Liyue Harbor. This unusual scene made him curious and a little confused.

……

The morning sun gently sprinkled on the bridge of Liyue Harbor. Su Chen and Paimon stood at the bridgehead, and the scene before them surprised them a little. Dense Thousand Rock Army soldiers filled the other side of the bridge, as if waiting for some extraordinary event.

"Su Chen, has the defense level of Liyue Harbor reached this level?" Paimon's voice was filled with uneasiness and curiosity.

Su Chen frowned and thought, thinking to himself: [This plot seems to have never appeared in the game.] But he still tried his best to stay calm: "I don't know, but we should be able to pass it smoothly."

He waved at Paimon, motioning for her to follow him: "Let's go first, and then we'll see what happens."

Paimon responded softly, but as Su Chen walked, she felt an ominous premonition gradually spread in her heart.

The bridge was empty and unusually quiet. When Su Chen stepped onto the bridge, he immediately felt dozens of pairs of eyes fixed on him.

[This situation... is not right.] Su Chen's heartbeat quickened. He tried his best to hide his nervousness and quietly observed the expressions of Qianyan Army. He found that their eyes were full of vigilance and doubt.

Paimon clung to Su Chen's shoulder, feeling the headwind from the harbor and Su Chen's heavy steps. She subconsciously flew lower, nervously watching everything around her.

Just as Su Chen reached the end of the bridge, a Qianyan sergeant who looked particularly majestic suddenly shouted, "Stop!" Su Chen's heart sank, realizing that the situation might not be simple. He quickly hid his hands behind his back and turned around carefully.

In order to deal with possible emergencies, a faint green elemental fluctuation quietly gathered in his palm, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

"Where are you two from?" The leader of the Qianyan Army walked closer and examined Su Chen's attire. His eyes stayed on Su Chen's clothes for a moment, and then fell on his yellow hair, his eyes full of suspicion and curiosity.

……

Chapter 198 Huge Misunderstanding

Su Chen felt the expression of the Qianyan Army leader change suddenly after hearing the word "Mond", and his heart tightened, realizing that the situation might be more serious than expected. Although he was nervous, he still tried to stay calm and replied: "Mond."

"Mond...?" The expression of the leader of the Qianyan Army suddenly became extremely serious. He held the spear tightly in his right hand and suddenly shouted, "Catch him!"

Before Su Chen could react, he felt a strong force hitting the back of his neck. His head suddenly sank, the world spun in front of his eyes, and then everything became blurry. His body lost balance and fell heavily to the ground.

"Su Chen!" Paimeng's voice was accompanied by confusion and fear. Su Chen vaguely saw that Paimeng seemed to be covered by a sack, and then heard a muffled sound, and his consciousness gradually sank into darkness.

In the interrogation room of Liyue, Su Chen had been unconscious for an unknown period of time. He was awakened by the cold water, and felt the piercing cold all over his body. He slightly opened his golden eyes, and water drops slid down his handsome face. He tried to move his arms, but found that he was firmly bound and unable to move.

The surroundings were strange and depressing, and Su Chen felt confused and uneasy. He looked around helplessly, but could not see any familiar sights. In his confusion and uneasiness, he slowly raised his head and tried to figure out his current situation.

In the dim interrogation room, Su Chen slowly raised his head, the confusion in his eyes quickly dissipated, revealing a clear and surprised look. His sight was fixed on a purple-haired girl standing not far away, who was familiar but surprising to him - Keqing.

Her skin was as delicate as jade, and her figure was as graceful as a fairy. Her long, flowing crystal purple hair was lightly tied up by a light golden hairpin, forming two ponytails that hung on both sides. Her sword-like eyebrows concealed a heroic spirit and determination, yet she did not lose her gentle beauty.

Keqing's beauty not only makes people shine, but also reveals her noble status. She wears a purple off-shoulder dress and black pantyhose, which perfectly shows the lines of her legs. Her appearance makes Su Chen feel her noble status and colorful elegance at the same time.

Su Chen stared at Keqing blankly, as if he had a thousand words to say, but couldn't. Finally, he asked blankly: "Keqing...is it really you?"

Hearing Su Chen's call, Keqing's eyebrows slightly raised, full of doubt. Before she could speak, the Qianyan Army beside her stopped her sternly: "How dare you! This is Yuheng, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, don't try to get close to him!"

"I know..." Su Chen responded softly, but his eyes were still firmly fixed on Keqing, his heart filled with mixed emotions. The Liyue girl in front of him was the one he both loved and hated - Keqing.

Keqing's confusion deepened. When she heard Su Chen calling her name, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity. She asked softly, "Do you know me? Have we... met somewhere before?" There was a hint of tenderness in her voice, and a glimmer of inquiry in her eyes.

In the interrogation room, the tense atmosphere gradually turned into a subtle surprise. When Su Chen heard Keqing's words, a complex emotion surged in his heart. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, responding: "Not only have we met before, we are also quite familiar with each other..."

Su Chen's thoughts raced back to his past as he recalled his experiences with Keqing in the game. He couldn't help but feel bitter. His reaction confused the Qianyan Army around him.

Keqing stroked her chin, lost in thought. Su Chen's words puzzled her, and she began to search her mind for any connection with the boy. But before she could fully sort out her thoughts, Su Chen suddenly asked loudly: "What did I do? Why was I tied up? Where is Paimon?!"

Su Chen's voice was full of anxiety as he struggled to untie the ropes behind him.

Keqing responded: "The reasons are complicated, but your friends are here, don't worry." She signaled to the Qianyan Army, and soon a bulging sack was placed at Su Chen's feet.

Su Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Paimon was safe and sound. Keqing carefully observed Su Chen's expression and became more and more confused.

[The intelligence said that the thief in Mondstadt was a single criminal... but there are two of them here.] Keqing was full of doubts. She picked up a photo and compared it with Su Chen's appearance, and gradually found the answer. The thief in the photo had a slender figure, his hair color was different from Su Chen's dark gold, and he was wearing a different silver-white light armor from Su Chen.

Realizing that it might be a misunderstanding, Keqing shook her head and ordered the Qianyan Army to release the people: "Release them."

Although Qianyan Jun didn't quite understand, he quickly untied Su Chen's rope. Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "My hand is so painful..."

Su Chen jumped up and quickly opened the bag that wrapped Paimeng. Paimeng came out of the bag, breathing in the fresh air with a bewildered look on her face: "Wooha! I'm suffocating!" She was very confused about what had just happened.

The air in the interrogation room froze for a moment because of Keqing's words. Su Chen looked at Qianyanjun with a bitter look in his eyes. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Not only have we met before, but the relationship between us is quite deep..."

As Su Chen thought about his experiences with Keqing in the game world, he couldn't help but feel a little complicated. His answer made the Qianyan Army present even more confused.

Keqing pinched her chin and fell into deep thought. Facing the "suspect" in front of her, she tried hard to find the connection with the boy in her mind. However, before she could fully sort out her thoughts, Su Chen suddenly asked: "Why do you want to restrain me? What did I do? Where is Paimon?!"

Su Chen's voice was filled with obvious urgency as he struggled to untie the ropes behind him.

Keqing responded calmly: "The reason is a little complicated, but your friend is safe and sound." After that, she winked at the Qianyan Army, and soon a bulging sack was placed at Su Chen's feet.

Su Chen felt relieved to see that Paimeng was safe and sound. Keqing carefully observed his every expression, with increasing doubt in her eyes.

[According to intelligence, the thief in Mond should have acted alone, but there are three of them here.]

Keqing was filled with doubts. She picked up a photo on the table and repeatedly compared it with Su Chen's appearance. The thief in the photo was thinner than Su Chen, had no braids on his head, had lighter hair, and wore silver-white light armor that was completely different from Su Chen's.

"Let him go." Keqing realized that they might have captured the wrong person, and instructed the Qianyan Army to release Su Chen.

Qianyanjun acted quickly and untied Su Chen's rope. Su Chen felt the pain in his wrist, stroked his wrist, jumped up from the chair, and hurriedly opened the bag containing Paimon.

"Woo Ha! I can finally breathe fresh air!" Paimon crawled out of the bag, took a deep breath, his face blank, obviously confused by what had just happened.

Yingmei also had her hood taken off. She breathed in deep gulps of fresh air and opened her eyes wide. She felt a little confused about what had just happened.

PS: There are three updates today, which makes up for the one I owed yesterday. Next, I will write about Keqing’s plot. I am trying to use the writing style of a light novel. In addition, I have also focused on describing the characters’ emotions and shaping the story. The author is constantly trying to change and improve. If you have any good suggestions, please feel free to mention them.

In addition, regarding the gender change of the Emperor, I will arrange it. As for the gender change of Wendy, does anyone have any suggestions?

Chapter 199 Keqing’s Special Commission

On a street corner in Liyue Harbor where the breeze was blowing, Paimeng leaned close to Su Chen's ear with a suspicious look on his face, his eyes flashing with curiosity and confusion: "What do you think of these things?"

Su Chen smiled lightly, his eyes firm but with a bit of cynicism: "Don't worry about it, just look at me."

Paimon blinked his eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but Su Chen had already turned and walked away, only thinking about leaving a good impression in front of Keqing. His steps were light, but his heart was turbulent, thinking that as long as he didn't show off too much, his journey in Liyue Harbor would be smooth and worry-free.

At the same time, Keqing seemed to realize her own gaffe and coughed twice. Although her face remained calm as usual, her voice was gentle: "These are just empty names. What I really pursue is far more than this."

She shook her head slightly and smiled. "As the host of Liyue Harbor, I am remiss in leaving such an impression on a first-time guest. Is there anything you need? Just let me know."

Su Chen was about to decline when a grunting sound interrupted him.

"Paimeng, what are you doing?" Su Chen turned his head in surprise.

Paimon covered his stomach with an embarrassed look on his face: "I am just hungry..."

Su Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You guy..."

Paimon said sternly, "I ran so far with you, but I didn't even have a decent meal. This is not fair!"

"This is not a banquet hall..." Su Chen retorted helplessly.

Paimon pouted: "I don't care!"

This scene made all of Su Chen's plans go haywire. He frowned and was about to get angry, but Paimeng had already flown up and was making faces around him.

"You can't hit me~" Paimon said playfully.

Su Chen clenched his fists, veins bulging, and was about to take action when suddenly a silver bell-like laughter instantly extinguished his anger.

Suddenly, a soft laugh broke the silence. Su Chen turned around and saw Keqing covering her mouth with embarrassment in her eyes. Her cheeks were stained with a light pink, and there was a subtle shyness in her beautiful eyes.

“Ahem…” Keqing coughed twice, trying to make herself look more calm. “As an apology, how about I take you to Liuli Pavilion for dinner? It’s lunch time too.”

Su Chen looked at her with some surprise and responded softly: "Thank you for your help, Keqing." He suddenly realized that he had called her name inadvertently and paused awkwardly.

Keqing's mouth curled up slightly, as if she was satisfied with Su Chen's address: "It's okay, just call me that. We don't have to stick to etiquette."

Having just witnessed the dispute between Su Chen and Paimon, Keqing felt that these two people were not bad people. Listening to Su Chen's relaxed tone, her guard gradually dropped. She felt that Su Chen was knowledgeable and had a deeper impression of this new friend.

"I'm Su Chen, and this is my travel companion, Paimon." Su Chen introduced.

Paimon glared at Su Chen, then gave Keqing a bright smile: "Hello, my name is Paimon, nice to meet you!"

Keqing looked at the lively little girl in front of her, and the doubts in her heart gradually dissipated. She smiled gently and replied: "Hello, I'm Keqing."

After the brief introduction, Keqing showed her efficient character, nodded, and walked forward with brisk steps, leading Su Chen and Paimeng to the Liuli Pavilion.

Keqing stood in front of the door, her eyes firm and her voice full of determination that brooked no rejection: "You two... Su Chen, Paimeng, please follow me." As soon as she finished speaking, she took a step forward, her figure as light and swift as catkins flying in the wind.

Su Chen and Paimeng looked at each other, with a smile of mutual understanding in their eyes. They knew that Keqing's swift and decisive actions were not just an apology, but also a result of her personality. The two shook their heads helplessly and quickly followed Keqing's footsteps.

Behind them, the soldiers of the Qianyan Army looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and curiosity. They didn't know how to react, so they could only look back and watch the three people go away.

When they arrived in front of Wanmin Hall, Su Chen suddenly suggested, "Why don't we go to Wanmin Hall for dinner?" His tone seemed to hint at something. In fact, he had already thought of Xiangling and was eager to meet her there.

Keqing was slightly startled when she heard this suggestion, and then nodded silently in her heart. She thought Su Chen was fond of simple and plain style.

After all, the difference between Wanmin Hall and Liuliting was obvious, but she didn't know Su Chen's real thoughts - he just wanted to see another woman.

Just as the three of them stepped into the hall, a voice full of resentment suddenly rang out: "It's that guy named Sheng, he's simply making life difficult for us workers!"

"Yes, yes, yes! He is so cruel to us!"

Hearing these words, Keqing paused, frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. Meanwhile, Su Chen had already strode into the hall, the curtains swaying with his movements.

Walking into the hall, Su Chen saw groups of diners discussing fiercely. Their clothes were simple, and some were even shirtless, but the sad expressions and deep traces of weathering on their faces revealed the hardships of their lives.

In Wanmin Hall, Su Chen had just sat down and looked around this warm and bustling restaurant. He was not familiar with this place and was still thinking about his purpose when suddenly a girl with short dark blue hair and a pretty face walked over quickly with a smile on her face and enthusiasm.

"Welcome to Wanmin Hall! How can I help you?" Her voice was clear and cheerful.

Su Chen was stunned, then turned around in surprise: "Xiang Ling...?" He recognized the girl in front of him, and the familiar voice made his eyes light up.

Xiangling frowned slightly, looking confused: "Uh... guest, have we met before?" She didn't seem to recognize Su Chen immediately.

Just as Xiangling was still confused, the sound of someone entering the store rang again. Xiangling turned around and saw a new customer. She called out in surprise: "Keqing??? Why are you here?"

"Let's eat." Keqing answered simply, her voice calm but her eyes firm. She walked straight towards the dining table where the workers were gathered.

Seeing the arrival of this purple-haired girl, the workers suddenly quieted down, with a flash of panic and awe in their eyes. They knew that this was the famous Yuheng of Liyue Harbor, Keqing.

Keqing walked to the table, glanced at the workers in front of her, and said in a clear and firm voice: "Are you workers under Shengjiaye?"

The workers looked at each other and nodded nervously: "Yes, Master Yuheng... We have to go back to work soon..."

One of the workers said anxiously, "Master Yuheng, please be magnanimous. We beg you not to tell Master Sheng..."

Their eyes were filled with fear and pleading. They obviously did not expect that Lord Yuheng would appear in such a civilian restaurant. They were worried that their complaints would leave a bad impression on Keqing and cause unnecessary trouble.

……

Chapter 200: Carrying out a special mission, instantly defeating a wealthy businessman from Liyue (Author's words at the end of the chapter!)

The atmosphere in Wanmin Hall suddenly became solemn. Keqing's voice was low and firm, breaking the surrounding noise: "You don't have to worry. I just want to know the latest developments of Sheng Family... or more precisely, what has happened recently in Sheng Family."

Her eyes were sharp, clearly indicating that she would not miss this opportunity to learn more about the Sheng family. As the target of her investigation, Keqing understood the importance of the information.

The workers looked at each other, a hint of hesitation flashed in their eyes, but Keqing's words seemed to ignite their hope. "Will we not be hurt?" a worker asked in a trembling voice.

"I promise." Keqing answered without hesitation, with a hint of gentle strength in her voice. "This may be the beginning of your liberation."

Moved by Keqing's words, the workers finally relaxed and told her the internal situation of Shengjia.

At the same time, Xiangling shook her head and grumbled helplessly: "This Keqing, everyone is eating, but she started working again."

Su Chen smiled lightly, supporting his chin with his right hand, his eyes flashing with deep thought: "Isn't this exactly her style?"

Xiang Ling was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "I don't know who you are, but I feel like you two get along well..."

About ten minutes later, Keqing finally stopped asking questions. She sat on the chair opposite Su Chen, with a look of deep thought on her face.

"Keqing, what do you want to eat?" Su Chen asked with a smile. Paimon on the side was already focusing on the food on the menu.

"No, I'm not hungry now..." Keqing said, raised her head, and her eyes suddenly fixed on Su Chen's golden hair.

Su Chen felt Keqing's gaze and couldn't help scratching his face. He asked awkwardly, "Is there something wrong with my face?"

Keqing nodded seriously, and then said firmly: "Su Chen, although you just came here today, I have a very important request. I hope you can help me. Of course, I will definitely thank you afterwards."

At the table in Wanmin Hall, Su Chen nodded slightly, his voice firm and sincere: "...Well, you tell me, I will do my best to help." Although he had met Keqing's character many times in previous games, facing the purple-haired girl in front of him, Su Chen had no idea of ​​refusing.

There was a calculation in his eyes, and he thought this was a good opportunity to improve his relationship with Keqing, even though he didn't lack Mora.

As soon as he nodded in agreement, Su Chen noticed the flash of joy in Keqing's eyes. She moved closer, placed her hands lightly on the table, and began to speak seriously.
