This heroine is so despicable

The other party also looked at Xing with interest, but still waved his hand.

"My mission is just to keep an eye on that lady. The rest should be left to... Ganyu?"

The "Ice Archer" from before had already jumped down from the treetop. She was as beautiful as Ye Lan and had a top-notch figure. She even looked even more astringent in her black stockings and one-piece tight backless top, especially the black rock slime that clung to her chest...

goo...

This level of astringency was only seen on Mona last time!

[Damn it! Is this the depth of Liyue!? It’s decided! From today on, you are a spiritual Liyue person! You will defend these beautiful things to the death!]

The other party nodded slightly:

"My name is Ganyu, I am the secretary of Yuehai Pavilion and the messenger of the Liyue Seven Stars. Miss Ningguang, in the capacity of Tianquan, would like to invite you to the Qunyu Pavilion for a discussion."

Volume 079: Under the Sun of Yu Tongheng: Tianquan Invitation

Ye Lan left directly on the pretext that she had official business to attend to, and the Thousand Rocks Army also regrouped. Xing then walked towards Liyue with Ganyu, ready to meet Ningguang, the Tianquan Star.

Along the way, Xing kept looking at Ganyu with curiosity and confidence, especially the pair of horns on her head.

"Is Sister Ganyu an immortal?"

"Immortal? Hmm... I don't think so, but I am a hybrid of human and Qilin, half of which is immortal."

"So he is a half-immortal?"

[As we all know, mixed-bloods are the strongest, such as half-demon, half-god, etc., which are always stronger than complete ones.]

Speaking of which, Xing always feels that Ganyu's clothing style seems to be very similar to Shenhe's. The two of them are just like wearing a piece of clothing in two halves - both are mainly black tights, but Shenhe's clothes have left their nipples exposed, revealing his sexy belly.

Ganyu is even more amazing. The charming rock slime shows off her curves perfectly. If it weren't for the little cloth and decoration on her abdomen, it would look like she was only wearing black stockings. Such an outfit...

[Quack! I love it so much! ]

“It may be a little rude, but...can you touch Ganyu’s horn?”

"Why!?"

Ganyu looked at the star who was staring at her curiously, and subconsciously covered her horns.

"No... No! Even though it's a horn, this organ has feelings, both psychologically and physiologically..."

"So magical?"

Xing instantly thought of a series of strange ways to play. For example, if he forcibly licked Ganyu's horn, slowly held it in his mouth and swallowed and spit it out bit by bit, what kind of cute expression would the other party show?

[This…this, this, isn’t this just…biting!? So…so cool! ]

In order to suppress the impulse brought about by this reverie, Xing quickly changed the subject:

"In my impression, immortals don't seem to be willing to come to Liyue Harbor, but stay in the mountains and fields. So why did Ganyu come to Liyue and become the secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars?"

"This... I am only seeking the greatest welfare for the majority of life in Liyue. Since the end of the Demon God War, I have signed this contract with the Emperor and started to serve as the secretary of the Seven Stars of all generations, and it has been like this until today."

[You recalled your own barren history of Teyvat in your mind. If I remember correctly, the Demon War seemed to be...]

Xing was slightly startled:

"Wait, that seems to have happened two or three thousand years ago, right? In other words, Sister Ganyu has already..."

Ganyu blushed slightly and nodded:

"It's...it's what you think."

"..."

[A girl who is three years older than you will hold a golden brick, a girl who is three thousand years older than you will be ranked among the immortals! ]

It's okay! Does age matter?

[That’s right, don’t underestimate the power of love! ]

Feeling that Ganyu didn't seem to like going too deep into the age issue, Xing quickly changed the subject:

"Um...what kind of person is Ningguang? I'm going to meet such an important person soon, I'm a little nervous."

"Lady Ningguang is one of the Seven Stars. She has an overall view of Liyue and is in charge of industry and commerce. However, in private, she is actually a very easy-going person. Don't be nervous. This time, she is looking for you to talk, probably just about the Fatui..."

After chatting along the way, the two came to Yuehai Pavilion - there was a small floating stone here that could carry people up to the Qun Yu Pavilion.

After smoothly flying up into the sky and taking the first step onto this castle in the sky, Xing had a slightly disappointing impression of this place - the pavilions and towers were exquisite and gorgeous, with elegant shapes, and it was obvious that a lot of money had been spent on them, but...

"I don't see any weapons..." Xing touched his chin.

"Weapons?" Ganyu, who was leading the way, didn't quite understand.

"Yes, such a large aerial fortress is simply the best weapon platform. As long as it is equipped with artillery, it will be an invincible aerial battleship, right?"

"Uh...this..."

“This point of view is interesting…”

A slightly lazy and magnetic voice sounded, and inside the room, a white-haired beauty was sitting at the desk, looking at Xing with a smile.

"Liyue has enjoyed peace for 500 years. Although it cannot be said that the country is peaceful and prosperous, it has indeed enjoyed this peaceful atmosphere for too long. Moreover, it has the protection of the Emperor and the immortals. If a mobile sky fortress is really built, it will make the people uneasy and the friendly countries surprised."

Xing looked at this elegant and graceful elder sister with white hair and red eyes, and always felt that some of her weaknesses had been hit.

[No, no! It's XP Special Attack! The toughness bar... the toughness bar is about to be broken! ]

"Hello... hello." Xing was a little reserved for a moment.

"Please don't be nervous. I invited you here today because I thought you would be an interesting person. I want you to come to this group of Yuge to have a gathering. Just think of it as making friends."

Ningguang motioned for Xing to take a seat, and the maid beside her quickly brought her tea.

After this round, Xing, whose toughness bar was temporarily restored, suppressed his pounding heart and returned to his usual state of mind - what a beautiful white-haired big sister! Suki!

[So you really fall in love with every girl you meet]

What else? ? I have always had a loving heart!

"It is naturally my honor to make friends with Lady Ningguang, but... I wonder when did Lady Ningguang know me?" Xing asked curiously.

Ningguang picked up the teacup and took a sip:

"Since you, the traveler, and the immortal disciple returned to Liyue, but even earlier... not long ago, when the meteor shower fell from the sky and caused people to fall into a coma, I heard that another stranger had come to Liyue."

"again?"

"Yes, I have paid a lot of attention to your traveler friend. The acting leader of the Knights of Favonius and I have corresponded and praised her highly. And a traveler who can help solve the crisis of the Wind Dragon must be worthy of my special attention, right? So when you appeared at Wangshu Inn with her, I saw you in my intelligence, and after that..."

Ningguang stood up and slowly walked to Xing's side.

"After confirming information from multiple sources, I discovered that you seemed to have repelled the Fatui lady in Mondstadt, and after coming to Liyue, you participated in the plan of another executive officer - together with the traveler."

"Sir?"

Xing immediately stated:

"Actually, I don't know him at all, really. I just wanted to help Ying."

[Master:...]

"Of course I know you are not familiar with each other..."

Ningguang looked at her with a smile.

"Otherwise, his subordinates would not have followed the lady's orders and tricked you out of the city. You see, Liyue is now in turmoil following the death of the Emperor. It's a mess. If I don't take action, I will be at a disadvantage..."

Xing thought about this sentence for a while.

"So... Lady Ningguang said she wanted to be friends with me, is that because...?"

"To be honest, I hope you can be of use to me..."

Ningguang suddenly lifted Xing's chin slightly with a paper fan, squinted her eyes and stared at Xing with a smile.

"The battle between you and the lady just now has proven that you have the strength to face the Fatui executive. And now, I am in need of someone like you..."

"For ordinary people, I like to understand their weaknesses and then turn them into chess pieces that I can use, but you are different - very different... I have a hunch that you and the traveler are the same type of people, destined not to stop at a certain place, so... I hope to hire you for a short period of time to use you..."

Volume 080: Under the Sun of Tongyang: God and Man

use?

How to use it? I'm not bragging, she has many ways to use it! If the target is a beautiful woman like Ningguang, you can use it in any way you want!

Xing nodded immediately:

"As long as the price is right, Lady Ningguang can discuss how to use me..."

Looking at Xing who looked excited, Ningguang smiled again - sure enough, just like what was reported in the intelligence, unlike the traveler, the child in front of her was much more materialistic.

Even... the way this child looked at her, he didn't really hide it... Haha, interesting...

Ningguang likes material people - as long as the person is interesting, but if the person has no desires, it will be difficult to control him.

"Why don't you come with me?"

Xing stood up: "It's my honor."

The two left the luxurious interior and strolled among the pavilions and towers of the Jade Pavilion, overlooking the lights of thousands of homes in Liyue Harbor below.

"How about it? From here you can have a panoramic view of everything in Liyue. Do you like my Qun Yu Pavilion?"

"It's OK, but... it lacks weapons."

Looking at Xing who was obsessed with installing cannons for the Qun Yu Pavilion, Ningguang couldn't help laughing.

"I have been saving money for its construction since I was a business learner. After I became Tianquan, I invited top craftsmen to expand it... At first, it was only the size of a room, but now it can block out the real silver moon above Liyue... But don't underestimate it. It is not as harmless as you see. When necessary, my Qun Yu Pavilion can also shoulder the burden of protecting Liyue - especially in the years after the emperor's death."

Xing narrowed his eyes:

"Do you really think that Lord Yan...died in such an unclear manner?"

[It is impossible for someone who can become a Tianquan to not notice the strangeness in this. From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like Prince Yan has consulted with her, so…]

Ningguang had a half-smile on her face:

"You should have heard of the Demon War, right? There were many demons in this world. The protracted war ended only two thousand years ago. In the end, only seven victors were left on the continent of Teyvat. They established kingdoms and city-states on the ruins of the losers, and began the era of the Seven Rulers of the Earth..."

"But not only the demon gods will die, even the seven rulers of the mortal world have changed over the past two thousand years. Of the original seven gods, except for the Emperor, only Mond's missing Barbatos is still alive in the mortal world. The other five are no longer the same people from two thousand years ago..."

“So you see, although Liyue, with a history of 3,700 years, has been ruled by an emperor since its founding and has never experienced a farewell to the gods...but if you look at the entire Teyvat, the death of a god is not so unbelievable.”

Xing frowned slightly: "But..."

"——But if the Emperor is really alright..."

Ningguang stopped and had a meaningful smile on her face.

“Then there must be a deeper meaning behind His abandoning His ancestor’s Dharma Transfiguration in public during the Invitation Ceremony, right? Whether He is extremely disappointed with Liyue, or wants to test us, or is preparing to retreat into the mortal world like the Wind God, as the Seven Stars of Liyue, shouldn’t we obey the Emperor’s wishes?”

"..."

It turned out to be the case.

Xing asked curiously, "But if Lord Yan really just waves his hand and prepares to retire, Liyue might become a godless country like Mondstadt, right?"

Ningguang shook her head:

"As long as Sky Island still exists, the next Rock God will appear sooner or later, and the Seven Gods system of Teyvat will not collapse. By then, the relationship between the people of Liyue and the gods will definitely be different from the past."

[Sky Island? When you first hear this word, you can't help but feel a little startled, as if a lot of dusty historical secrets are about to come to your mind, but when you try to reach out and grab them, these fragments of memory turn into the sand of time and slip through your fingers]

Looking at the slightly dazed Xing, Ningguang leaned over and whispered in her ear:

"I hope... you can do me a favor."

Xing thought about it:

"You want me to protect the Immortal Ancestor Fa Tu?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Ningguang's eyes:

"How did you guess that?"

Star shrugged:

"Young Master is trying to win over Ying and is looking for Wangsheng Hall to organize the ceremony. His only goal could only be the Immortal Ancestor's transformation, right?"

"You are indeed very smart. That's right - not only are the Fatu people eyeing the Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation, Ye Lan has also discovered that they are using her own technology to imitate the Hundred Taboos Talisman..."

Ningguang turned around and continued walking forward.

"Although it is just a crude imitation of the immortals' magic, if there are enough of them, the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change, which is enough to cause some... bad things."
