I'm not feeling right when I transform into Keqing

The girl with blue hair and horns is Ganyu from Yuehai Pavilion in Yujing Terrace, the semi-immortal who is responsible for assisting the entire Seven Stars.

The so-called "assistant" actually refers to the secretary of Qixing in layman's terms.

Keqing also has a good impression of Ganyu. After all, Ganyu's position as a seven-star secretary is extraordinary.

But she is also extremely serious about her work and does things efficiently, which is in line with Keqing's style.

But it is also because Ganyu works hard that Keqing, as one of the Seven Stars, has the opportunity to meet Ganyu other than for official business when she is in Liyue.

Normally, she seldom saw Ganyu in Yujingtai, because Ganyu seemed to be working overtime every day.

Unexpectedly, when they returned to Mondstadt this time, they actually met each other at Wangshu Inn.

"I remember Ganyu seemed to live in Wangshu Inn... Did I go to the wrong door?" Keqing thought.

After thinking about it, Keqing remembered that although Ganyu's official residence was Wangshu Inn, because she always worked overtime and could not be too far away from Liyue Harbor, she basically rested directly in the staff dormitory of the General Affairs Department after get off work.

Logically speaking, Ganyu shouldn't have been to Wangshu Inn for at least three or four months, so it's normal for her to have forgotten where her room is.

Gently pushing the door open, Keqing walked into the room, then came to Ganyu's side, looking down at her head condescendingly.

Because Keqing deliberately lowered the sound of her footsteps, Ganyu seemed not to hear them.

Still sitting in the chair, dozing off.

Coming in front of Ganyu, Keqing looked at the pair of horns on her head and came up with a bold idea.

Ganyu is a half-immortal with the blood of the immortal beast Qilin flowing in her body. She was already the Seven Stars’ secretary before Keqing became a Seven Star.

Therefore, Qixing usually respects Ganyu, but it is rare to see her under normal circumstances.

There is no other opportunity like now to observe closely.

"Half-immortal, um... there is no aura of a demon on his body. He is different from the demons in the previous life. He should be a auspicious beast like Yinglong..." In addition to the memory of the Seven Stars, Keqing had a more distant memory in her mind. Looking at the living half-unicorn in front of her, she couldn't help but start thinking about a question.

"I remember that Qilin's blood is an excellent medicinal material for alchemy, and it can even increase the effect of elixirs."

"Since Ganyu has the blood of the Qilin, will her blood also have this effect?"

Keqing looked at Ganyu's head, then held her chin and continued to mutter to herself.

"Also, I remember that the juice from a Qilin feeding its cubs is also a treasure, and it even has the ability to help people overcome tribulations. At that time, several major clans almost destroyed a human kingdom in order to fight for the Qilin with its cubs."

"Since Ganyu also has Qilin bloodline, then..."

"what!"

Suddenly, Ganyu, who had been dozing off, raised her head, then protected her chest and spoke in a weak voice with a bit of drowsiness as if she had just woken up.

"Please don't joke like that..."

Uh……

Unexpectedly, Ganyu woke up, which made Keqing a little embarrassed.

She coughed dryly a few times, then said, "Sorry, I wasn't thinking about that. Well, I just had a professional illness."

"Professional disease?"

“When I see good things, I can’t help but want to use them to improve my cultivation.” Keqing said.

"Good, good stuff?" Ganyu opened her mouth slightly, and after being surprised, she became flustered. She quickly stood up and moved away from Keqing.

"This... No, I just said it casually."

……

Afterwards, after Keqing's apology and explanation, Ganyu also believed that Keqing had no strange thoughts about her.

Just like most other people, I'm curious about her bloodline.

Although she is the secretary of Qixing, Ganyu tries her best to meet Qixing's entrustment and requests.

It’s not impossible for Keqing to study her blood, but if it’s that juice, um, juice, then Ganyu obviously won’t agree.

Fortunately, Keqing did not make things too difficult for Ganyu on this issue, and instead asked about Ganyu's affairs.

"I remember that Sister Ganyu, weren't you in the General Affairs Department helping that upstart prepare for the ceremony to invite the immortals? Why are you here at Wangshu Inn?" Keqing poured a cup of tea for Ganyu and asked.

After thanking him, Ganyu replied, "Well, just call me 'Ganyu'."

"I am indeed helping Ningguang prepare for the Immortal Ceremony, and it is almost complete."

"I came to Wangshu Inn to wait for you."

"Wait for me?" Keqing was slightly surprised: "Why are you waiting for me here?"

"Because there are some things that are difficult to tell you in Liyue Harbor." Ganyu said, covering the teacup with both hands. The warm cup and slightly bitter tea also made her feel refreshed.

Although after hearing Keqing's words about water, Ganyu was already awakened to the point where she couldn't wake up again.

Keqing was also very surprised by Ganyu's words.

Keqing is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, Ganyu is the Seven Stars' secretary. They are not an underground organization, so there is nothing they cannot say in Liyue.

However, Ganyu is dedicated and meticulous in his duties.

Since she said that, something must have happened.

"Is it about the Seven Stars?" Keqing asked.

She had written a letter to Qixing before when she was in Mondstadt.

Two months have passed, and apart from that reply, Qixing has received no other correspondence.

Is there something wrong with the Seven Stars?

Gan Yu shook his head.

Since it’s not about the Seven Stars, Keqing’s situation is even more strange.

"Is it the Layered Rock Abyss, or is there a change in the Solitary Cloud Pavilion?"

Ganyu shook her head again.

There is neither an internal problem nor an external threat.

This moment was totally unpredictable.

“What on earth is this? Ganyu, stop playing tricks on me.” Keqing said with a sigh.

Ganyu nodded slightly, put the cup on the table, then looked at Keqing and told her the purpose of her visit.

"I came to see you because of the Emperor's will..."

Keqing frowned and looked at Ganyu: "Emperor?"

Although she thought of many possibilities, the only thing Keqing didn't expect was that Ganyu came because of the Emperor.

Geolord, the god who created the prosperous Liyue today, what message does he want Ganyu to convey to him?

"Does it have anything for you to tell me?"

"Yes." Gan Yu nodded and said, "The Emperor issued an edict yesterday..."

"Yu Heng has been working hard in Mondstadt to handle the seal issue. I am tired and have not been able to rest for many years. Therefore, I will suspend my position as Yu Heng to recuperate."

After saying that, Ganyu looked at Keqing. Fortunately, Keqing looked calm and did not make any unexpected moves.

Ganyu also breathed a sigh of relief.

But suddenly, Ganyu seemed to see a smile on Keqing's lips.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Keqing who was looking down at him. Her cold eyes and voice seemed to make the temperature around them drop instantly.

Sitting on the chair, Ganyu even felt that she was not sitting in the warm and comfortable Wangshu Inn, but in an ice cave with biting frost.

"You mean, Morax wants to fire me?"

Chapter 58: Ganyu's Physique

Although there is no need to elaborate on Keqing's anger, even without Ganyu being here, even a cat in front of Keqing would know that Keqing should not be provoked now.

However, as the Seven Stars Secretary and the Emperor's special envoy, Ganyu's duties and identity forced her to nod her head.

"Yes, but the Emperor didn't say 'suspension'. Keqing, you...well, don't get angry first." Ganyu comforted.

It didn't say "suspension", but what's the difference between this allowing her to rest and recuperate and being suspended?

Keqing didn't say anything, just turned around and walked out the door.

The situation didn't look good at first glance, and Ganyu quickly grabbed her clothes.

"Keqing, where are you going?"

"Of course I'm going back to Liyue to find Morax." Keqing turned around and looked at Ganyu: "Let me go, it's none of your business."

Although she was very angry, Keqing would not vent her anger. Ganyu was just a messenger.

"it's useless."

"What do you mean useless?" Keqing frowned. "Even if it's useless, I still need an explanation. I don't believe it really suspended me just to let me rest."

Ganyu shook her head and looked at Keqing: "What I mean is that the Emperor is not in Liyue now."

“Ah? If not in Liyue, then where?” Keqing was surprised. Morax was the god of Liyue, and unlike Mondstadt’s Barbatos, every time he descended, he would stay in Liyue and work with the Seven Stars to formulate the development direction of Liyue for the next year or several years. It was unlikely for him to run around freely.

"He should be wandering in some fairyland." Gan Yu was not sure. She touched her head and said, "Yesterday, when I was sleeping, the Emperor appeared in my dream and asked me to tell you about this matter."

Keqing was stunned: "You mean... it didn't show up?"

Gan Yu nodded slightly: "Yes, the ceremony of inviting the immortals has not yet begun, and the emperor's immortal body will not appear in the mortal world yet."

After a moment of silence, Keqing nodded gently: "Is that so..."

Keqing seemed to have calmed down. She returned to the room and sat on the chair. After thinking for a moment, she asked Ganyu, "Besides me, Ganyu, have you told anyone else about this decree?"

Gan Yu shook her head and said, "I came to Wangshu Inn to wait for you when I woke up this morning."

“I see.” Keqing nodded slightly, then smiled: “It’s okay then.”

"Ganyu, go and take a rest. I will treat you to a good meal when I return to Liyue Harbor and finish my work."

Ganyu was not blinded by Keqing's offer to treat her. She heard "finished work" in what Keqing just said.

"Keqing, don't you want to take a rest?"

"Rest, but you have to wait until I'm done." Keqing poured a cup of tea and took a sip. "When the Emperor arrives, I will naturally take the initiative to stop working."

The preparation for the Immortal Ceremony will take at least a month, and during this time, Keqing will have enough time to finish what needs to be done.

It would not be too late for her to obey the Emperor's decree after the Emperor came. Anyway, the Emperor's decree did not require Keqing to suspend her duties immediately, and only Ganyu and Keqing knew about this.

Ganyu also realized that Keqing wanted to pretend nothing happened.

Ganyu is also very clear about Keqing's personality, and this is not the first time that Keqing has gone against the Emperor.

At the ceremony of inviting the immortal last year, Keqing took the risk of being taboo and asked the Emperor directly whether Liyue would be better off without her.

Although Ke Qing's words were a bit euphemistic at the time, his expression conveyed that meaning.

Fortunately, the Emperor just laughed and moved his huge body, but he didn't care.

"I think you should not do this, Keqing. If you anger the Emperor..." Ganyu said. She was a little worried about Keqing. "The Emperor is the God of Contracts, and you are a Seven Star, the face of Liyue. I'm afraid the Emperor will punish you severely..."

Keqing's twin ponytails swayed slightly. She shook her head and said, "The edict is not a contract. It is just a unilateral order from God to us mortals."

"Ganyu, you have been the Seven Stars' secretary for so long, you should also understand that in the eyes of the Emperor, we are not on the same level as him. We are human, and he is a god."

After a moment of silence, Gan Yu said softly, "I dare not speculate what the Emperor is thinking, but I think... the Emperor will not regard the edict as an order..."

This statement made Keqing chuckle: "Then tell me, why didn't it come to me directly in my dream, but let you tell me on its behalf?"

Now Ganyu had nothing to say. Indeed, if the Emperor wanted to seek Keqing's opinion, he could just send it to her in a dream.

Asking Ganyu to relay the reply clearly meant not giving her a chance to refute, which was equivalent to an order from a superior to a subordinate.

In Keqing's eyes, this is not a contract.

Seeing that Ganyu still had her head down and looked helpless, Keqing sighed and comforted her.

"Don't worry Ganyu, even if something goes wrong, I will take the responsibility alone."

"I'm not worried about taking responsibility..." Gan Yu shook her head, "I'm just afraid that the Emperor will get angry..."
