I'm not feeling right when I transform into Keqing

Zhong Li sneaked away, and when Xiangling brought up the new dishes she had cooked herself, only Keqing was there.

After Keqing explained that Zhong Li had to go back because of an emergency, Xiangling also looked regretful.

Then, under Xiangling's expectant gaze, Keqing also tasted her new dish.

Although it looks like a pool of moldy fish jelly, it is unexpectedly but also understandably cool and crispy. In such a summer, it is definitely a great dish to cool off and quench your thirst.

After getting Keqing's affirmation, Xiangling also smiled happily.

"Then I'll make another plate and send it to Master Zhong later!"

"Well..." Keqing was about to say that she might not be free, but Xiangling had already gone downstairs.

How to politely reject Xiangling depends on Zhong Li herself, Keqing can’t help.

……

……

After eating and drinking and paying the bill, Keqing also came out of Wanmin Hall.

By now Ningguang should have gotten dressed, gotten up and washed up.

But Ningguang probably hasn't finished her meal yet, so Keqing can take this opportunity to go to the General Affairs Department.

Take a look at the latest registration list of foreigners entering and leaving Liyue Harbor.

She still remembered the story of the traveler named Ying. Not only because of the mission, but also Qin had said before that the traveler named Ying helped Mond suppress the Wind Dragon and made a significant contribution.

So Keqing also wanted to find her, thank her in person on behalf of Jean, and by the way, ask her how she got out of the seal.

This might help her when she enters the seal again in the future.

But not long after Keqing walked along the street towards the General Affairs Department, she suddenly saw a small ghostly shadow on a street corner.

It was a small pet-like creature floating in the sky, and it was secretly putting a Mora on the ground into its pocket.

While putting it in his pocket, he looked around from time to time.

This sneaky look also made Keqing, one of the Seven Stars, frown.

"He is not physically strong but has a lot of guts. He actually dares to steal things in broad daylight."

Chapter 72: Mountains, Seas and Stars

"Who is it? Who is talking?"

The little thing tilted its head, not knowing where the sound came from. After looking around for a while, it saw a dark shadow at the entrance of the alley.

There also seemed to be a purple light dancing on the shadow, and the little thing was immediately frightened when it saw it.

His face was pale and he looked like he had seen a ghost. He left the ground and flew towards the sky.

"It's a ghost! A ghost!"

Just as she was about to fly into the sky, Keqing leaped onto the wall and jumped into the air.

Then he pulled her down like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

"Wow! I was caught by a ghost! I was caught by a ghost!"

The little thing flapped its arms and legs in Keqing's hands and screamed with its eyes closed.

Keqing was surprised: "It can actually talk? Isn't it a pet?"

When she heard someone call her a "pet", the little thing immediately got angry. She turned around and looked at Keqing, and said angrily: "Who are you calling a pet? I'm Paimon!"

"Paimon?"

Keqing was really shocked. From a distance she thought it was a white-haired monkey.

Because she had also received reports of people training monkeys to help with theft.

So I thought that Paimeng was also a trained stealing tool.

But I didn't expect that she could not only speak, but when I looked closely, she turned out to be a petite little girl with white hair.

"Yes, Paimon! Put me down quickly. Keqing, as one of the Seven Stars, you should respect people." Paimon said with a righteous look.

But Keqing frowned.

"You know me?"

Not only do we know that she is Qixing, we also know Keqing's name.

But Keqing had never seen this little thing called Paimeng.

Paimeng, who was being questioned, avoided Keqing's sight and said with a guilty look, "Ah, this, this, everyone in Liyue should know the Seven Stars."

"Since you know me, you should also know what the consequences will be if I catch you stealing, right?" Keqing asked.

Paimon immediately panicked when he heard this: "Ah! Please don't stew me!"

"stew?"

"Yes, they all say that Yuhengxing is ruthless and impartial. If they catch a criminal, they either chop off his head or cook him into soup."

Who said that? How come Keqing hasn't heard of it?

"You said that yourself?"

"Of course not." Paimon replied calmly, but his eyes were looking elsewhere.

This made Keqing feel very problematic.

Although Paimon doesn't seem to be a pet, and there are no "victims" here except Paimon, it means that the Ichimora that Paimon just picked up was not stolen but picked up.

Of course, Keqing wasn't the type to care about a Mora she picked up, but this creature was really strange. Keqing had never seen one in either of her past lives, and its words were very suspicious.

So Keqing concluded that Paimon was a "suspicious creature".

Then he picked her up by the neck like a kitten, preparing to take her back to the General Affairs Department first, and then make a conclusion after querying the system.

"Put me down! Keqing!"

Paimon had fate strangled by the neck, and no matter how she moved her hands and feet, it was useless.

"I really am a good person! Travelers can testify!"

Keqing, who had just walked out of the alley, stopped and looked down at the little Paimon in her hand: "Traveler?"

“Yes, Traveler!” Seeing that Keqing seemed to be persuaded by him, Paimon’s eyes lit up and he said, “I came from Mondstadt with the Traveler. She can testify that I am a good person, not a suspicious creature!”

From Mond?

Keqing suddenly remembered that the traveler she was looking for seemed to have come from Mondstadt.

And Qin said that the traveler named Ying did have a floating companion, and Lisa said it was a pet.

At present, these two characteristics seem to be quite suitable for this little thing named Paimon.

"Is your master called Ying?" Keqing asked.

"Ying? Huh?" Little Paimon was shocked, "How do you know the traveler's name?"

After he finished speaking, little Paimon reacted, with a fierce look on his face, clenched his fists and kicked hard: "No, no! Paimon is not a pet!"

Before Paimon could finish his words, Keqing suddenly saw a golden shadow among the crowd in the distance.

"Hey! Paimon!"

The golden figure showed joy on his face and immediately ran towards Keqing.

When the blonde girl with an unnamed white flower in her hair came in front of Keqing, the system prompt of task completion sounded in Keqing's mind, which also confirmed the identity of the beautiful blonde girl in front of her - Ying, a traveler from a foreign land.

When Ying arrived, Paimon in Keqing's hand also showed an excited look: "Traveler! Traveler!!"

"Where have you been, Paimon?" Ying asked with a frown.

"Do you know this little guy?" Keqing also asked.

The girl with blonde hair and golden eyes raised her head and saw the beautiful girl with purple hair and twin ponytails. She nodded and looked puzzled: "Yes, may I ask who you are..."

"She is Keqing, the Jade Star of the Seven Stars of Liyue." Paimon then returned to his role as a guide again.

"Ah, Qixing." Ying was surprised, then looked at Paimeng and his face fell: "Paimeng, you are in trouble again?"

"Absolutely not!"

"It's true that he didn't do anything serious." Keqing said, and then let go of Paimon. "Now that we have found your master, there is no need to register your suspicious identity."

Paimon immediately flew to Ying's side, and then glared at Keqing fiercely, thinking that it was too much of an underestimation to treat her as a pet.

But Ying was different. She also clasped her hands together and apologized to Keqing.

"I'm really sorry, Master Yuheng, this is what my pet is like. I hope you don't mind."

"It's okay." Keqing shook her head. She certainly didn't mind what a child said.

"I didn't do anything wrong, why are you apologizing for me?" Paimon said and stomped his feet again, "And Paimon is not a pet!"

But the blonde girl obviously didn't care. She grabbed Paimon and smiled at Keqing. "Well, Lady Keqing, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. I have an appointment with a friend. If I don't go now, I'll be late."

"Ah."

"Let me go, Traveler!"

"Paimon, how dare you offend the Seven Stars?"

"I didn't offend her. I just picked up a Mora and she saw me."

"Have you fallen for money again? Never mind. I don't have time to talk to you now. I made an appointment with Xiangling to meet her. I just ran into her."

"What! Xiangling?! Doesn't that mean we can have delicious food again? Great!"

"You, all you know is eating."

"hey-hey."

The girl and the strange creature walked farther and farther away, and their voices gradually disappeared in the noisy crowd.

After standing there and watching for a while, Keqing decided not to disturb them from looking for delicious food, and would find a chance to thank the traveler named Ying later.

Now that she had met the Traveler by chance and completed the mission, there was no need for Keqing to go to the General Affairs Department to check the list.

Just now they said they were going to Xiangling's place, which means they know Xiangling. If they want to find Ying in the future, they should just go to Xiangling.

Then, Keqing got down to business.

……

……

Walking up the stairs along Feiyun Slope, Keqing returned to Yujingtai again. This time, she did not choose to return to Qun Yu Pavilion.

Instead, he went directly to Yuehai Pavilion.

I met Ningguang, who had been waiting for me, in a private room on the third floor.

Ningguang had already put on her clothes and jewelry, returning to her usual elegant and graceful appearance.

She was holding a cup of tea in her hand. When she saw Keqing come in, she slowly placed the tea on the table and smiled.

"So, let's start our plan now?"

Keqing sat down in front of Ningguang and said after a moment of silence: "So, according to the plan, we will start with those people, right?"

"This is your plan. Have you forgotten? We are not dealing with 'people'." Ningguang said calmly, "We are dealing with 'immortals'."
