I'm not feeling right when I transform into Keqing

But Ningguang was willing to give up the name of the Seven Stars and the Qun Yu Pavilion, which meant so much to her, for her own sake.

Then Keqing certainly wouldn’t be so “stingy”.

The extra jewelry in the bracelet comes from mission rewards, and most of them are good things, but compared to Keqing herself, there are people who need jewelry with effects such as warming the mind more.

They were just some jewelry. Keqing thought about it on the way and felt that they seemed a bit monotonous.

So I turned back halfway to the flower shop and bought some flowers to put in.

Although Keqing is not a romantic hero, she can still imitate others.

Keqing remembered what she had seen on TV before, so she did it this way.

But now that I think about it, Ningguang shouldn’t be the type of person who would like such a person, right?

"I should just put a bunch of Mora in there."

Keqing also felt a little regretful. How could she forget what everyone knew was Ningguang's favorite thing?

It's a pity that she left in such a cool manner. If I go back now, it would be embarrassing, but I might even be laughed at by Ningguang.

He had been so uncharacteristically proactive just to make Ningguang believe that he could be trusted. If he were laughed at, wouldn't the image he had just established be ruined?

I can only hope that Ningguang won’t be angry anymore. Next time she will definitely replace the flower with Mora.

……

……

The separation from Ningguang also marked the completion of Keqing's final preparations before going to Mondstadt.

After returning home, I told Ying and Diona that I would go to Mond the next morning.

The cat is also very happy.

Although she lived a comfortable life in Liyue, she gradually became anxious when she thought about how her parents must be worried because she had been away for so long, and even forgot her goal.

As for Ying, she was a little confused.

"Tomorrow morning?"

"Yes." Keqing nodded. "I have to go see Zhong Li this afternoon. I will leave early tomorrow morning and will arrive in Mondstadt by the afternoon at the earliest."

"If you and Paimon are in Liyue Harbor, don't worry. The certificate I gave you is still valid. Xiangling is back too. If you don't like the food in the General Affairs Department cafeteria, you can go to Xiangling's place. I left some money on the second shelf of the cabinet in the living room."

"How much is 'some money'?" Paimon asked curiously.

"One hundred thousand Mora, maybe."

"One hundred thousand!" Paimon's eyes seemed to be about to pop out of Mora.

Keqing nodded, and then explained: "This is the only cash I have on me, but you can also buy on credit in my name."

"Ah, you mean you left all the money to us?" Paimon was surprised.

Ying was also shocked: "Keqing, you... don't you need Mora yourself?"

"Not all of the money is usable. My salary is basically deposited into the bank, and only a portion is taken out." Keqing said, "The part I take out is naturally spent. Usually I buy some clothes or jewelry at Feiyunpo to spend. This is just the part that is not used."

In the past few months, Keqing has been either in Mondstadt or dealing with the assassination of the Emperor. Naturally, she has no place to spend money, so she has a lot of savings.

But the dinner a few days ago had already spent most of her money, and she only had 100,000 Mora left.

"So you want to leave the unused money for us?!" Ying said with wide eyes.

"Then let's just be respectful..." Paimeng smiled and before he could finish his words, he was caught from the sky by Ying.

"No, I can't use that money, you take it back." Ying said firmly, covering Paimeng's mouth with his hand.

"You don't have to pay it back." Keqing thought Ying was worried that she was cheating her.

"It's not a question of whether to pay it back or not... Isn't it giving it to us for free..." Ying said.

"It's all going to be spent anyway, it's the same." Keqing shook her head: "Okay, let's put it this way, I can't carry 100,000 Mora with me, right?"

Keqing's consumption concept is really unusual.

Compared with Ningguang, she really treated Mora as a number.

What Paimon said was true. She couldn't learn Keqing's elegance.

"Well... okay." Ying nodded helplessly, "I, I won't spend much, don't worry."

Paimon cheered: "Great! Ying, I want to eat something delicious!"

"The delicious ones cost at least 10,000 Mora, you are not allowed to eat them!"

"Ah! Traveler, how can you treat your good friend like this!" Paimon pretended to be angry.

Ying raised her eyebrows slightly and put her hands on her waist: "If you have money, call me 'A Ying', if you don't have money, call me 'Traveler'?"

Paimon scratched his head: "Hey, no, it's just that the way Ying spent money really impressed me."

Keqing also burst out laughing. These two people are really interesting.

After settling Ying down, Keqing went to look at the cat in the room and found that the cat seemed to be packing up. When she came in, the cat looked nervous and hurriedly pressed the bedding.

"You! Why didn't you knock when you came in?!" Diona asked loudly, covering her quilt with her hands.

Keqing had a question mark on her face: "This is my home, why should I knock on the door?"

"Ah!" Maomao was shocked, "Oh, that's right..."

Looking at the cat that was obviously hiding something, Keqing wondered, "Are you packing?"

"Yes, yes meow!" said Diona.

After spending so many days together, Keqing also learned about Diona's little quirk.

That is, when you feel excited, nervous, worried, or afraid, your mouth will meow unconsciously.

Maomao is certainly not a pervert, and she is definitely not excited by this situation.

Then there's just tension.

"Why do I smell a strong smell of insects?" Keqing moved her nose and asked in confusion, "Diona, did you catch any hornworms?"

"No meow! I'm not catching bugs to make drinks meow!"

Keqing held her arms and looked at the nervous cat for a while, then nodded slightly: "Okay then, remember to go to bed early tonight, we will set off back to Mondstadt tomorrow."

After saying that, Keqing closed the door and left. Diona also let out a long sigh, then lifted the quilt, revealing glass jars filled with various insects.

There were some lizards in the jar, as well as caterpillars and even stink bugs.

This was her “harvest” of so many days, which she had caught by herself by going to the back mountain at great risk.

The purpose is to mix the most unpalatable wine.

Although the wine for dinner that day was a failure, Diona felt that the problem lay in the selection of ingredients.

But adding these things into wine seems a bit inhumane.

but!

For my own lofty ambitions, I have no choice but to be a bad cat!

Because all this is to destroy Mond Wine!

To save those drunkards like Lord Wind God!

In order to prevent everyone, including my father, from being bewitched by the evil demon of wine!

Kneeling on the bed, looking at these things under the quilt, Diona knew that she could not take them back, so there was only one way.

That is to adjust this "ultimate weapon" tonight.

Holding her own cocktail shaker, Diona's eyes were determined and her cat's paws were firm.

And when she imagined pouring this disastrous wine into the glasses of those hateful drunkards and her father, they retched and swore never to drink again.

The cat's tail was wagging wildly, its furry ears were shaking, and it rubbed itself against the cocktail shaker. The more it thought about the scene, the happier it felt.

Diona smiled, revealing her fangs. Two blushes appeared on her face. Then the smile faded, her face became serious, and her eyes sparkled.

Then the cat made a firm vow.

"Go back, and do something big when you get back, meow!"

Chapter 133. [Sophia, my name.]

After leaving home, Keqing found a random restaurant to have a meal and then walked in the designated direction, which was the Hall of Rebirth.

Although Zhong Li said that Wendy knew more about Tevarin than she did, Keqing did not look for her because of Tevarin, but because of her own affairs.

That is why after feeling Ningguang's elemental power, his control over the rock element also improved.

This ability to improve oneself by learning other people's elemental power, and even control other people's moves, is unheard of by Keqing.

Does this also mean that my methods of controlling and using wind or rock have only just begun to gain basic knowledge?

These are the keys to improving Keqing's strength.

Strength is also an important basis for facing the threat from the abyss in the future.

Of course she couldn't not care.

As for the obviously sneaky Diona in the room...

Although Diona is a cat, cats also have the right to privacy.

Keqing knew that the cat was hiding something from her, but how much noise could a cat make?

She doesn't really care about that.

……

Keqing arrived at the Hall of Rebirth, and the door was closed.

When the girl from the funeral parlor saw Keqing, she nodded and said without waiting for her to speak: "Master Yuheng, are you here to see Guest Minister Zhong?"

"Yes, is she in there?"

The younger sister shook her head and said, "Mister went to meet a friend this morning, but she told me that if you come to see her, she told me to tell you to go to the teahouse and wait for her."

teahouse……

Keqing thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

Five minutes later, Keqing appeared in a teahouse on the second floor of Feiyunpo Street where she could see the General Affairs Department.

Although Zhong Li did not explicitly give the name of the teahouse, this teahouse is also the old place where Keqing and Zhong Li met.

Zhong Li would sometimes tell riddles, but when it comes to things like this, she probably wouldn't go against the grain.

"Sir, your tea is here!"

In the bustling teahouse, the waiter brought a tray and placed a pot of good tea in front of Keqing.

Then he said respectfully: "My Lord, do you need anything else? How about we change the place for you? This is the lobby. There is actually a separate private room on the third floor..."

Keqing shook her head slightly: "No need, go and get busy."

"okay!"

If you're not discussing business, you'll most likely just exchange a few words and get an answer before leaving, so there's no need to spend the effort to book a private room.

Besides, Keqing also dislikes this lively teahouse hall.

Although I was sitting in a corner by the window, the sounds of people's lively or joyful conversations and discussions were more soothing than the gentle sea breeze.

Picking up the teacup, Keqing took a sip of the tea which was at just the right temperature and had a mellow taste, then looked out the window.

"I'm going to meet a friend..."

The girl at the funeral home said that Zhong Li went to meet some friends, but it seemed that Zhong Li only had a few friends.

Even Keqing herself counts as one.

But to be honest, the person Zhong Li met was not an "old friend". She had been a "guest of the Hall of Rebirth" in Liyue Harbor for a long time.

It's normal to get to know some ordinary friends after so many years.

Putting down the teacup and resting her arms on the sturdy and simple wooden table, Keqing propped her face up and looked out the window.
