Chapter 186 Spring Night
“Bai Shi!” Ningguang called out.

Soon, a female secretary wearing glasses pushed the door open and asked, "Master Ningguang, what can I do for you?"

"Go call Beidou over to me. I have something to tell her. It just so happens that I have to settle the matter of her Southern Cross Fighting Club's budget overrun with her."

"Yes, Lord Ningguang." Bai Shi nodded, turned and left to arrange someone to handle this matter.

"Shi Yuan, please sit down. I'll ask Bai Wen to make a pot of fragrant tea." Ningguang said with a smile.

"Okay." Lu Shiyuan was not polite and sat down on the chair. Seeing this, Ningguang smiled and put her attention back on her official business.

After a while, Bai Wen came in with tea and snacks and placed them on the small table next to Lu Shiyuan.

"Please enjoy your meal, sir." In front of Ningguang, Baiwen became particularly well-behaved and did not dare to speak nonsense. After doing what he was supposed to do, he left directly.

In the study, the only sound left was the rustling sound made by Ningguang when she was correcting official documents.

Lu Shiyuan was eating snacks and drinking tea, but soon he became restless and felt bored.

So, he took out the best tool to relieve boredom on this continent and started playing games.

Just recently, the game updated the Inazuma map and new plot, so there’s something to play again these days.

During this period, he continued to spend money to buy resin, and his adventure level was rising rapidly. Now he has reached level 53.

"I'll try harder and try to reach level 55 before I can actually participate in the Demon God quest. What kind of functions will be unlocked after the adventure level reaches level 55? It's really exciting."

When he thought of this, Lu Shiyuan felt full of motivation and started playing the game with full concentration.

Of course, this is someone else's territory after all. While playing the game, Lu Shiyuan was also secretly wary of possible surveillance.

Time always passes very quickly when playing games. Before he realized how long he had been playing games, the study door was pushed open.

Lu Shiyuan put away his phone and looked over curiously, and saw a valiant beauty in red, with a proud figure and an eyepatch on her left eye, standing at the door.

This person is Beidou, the leader of the Southern Cross Fleet, the largest armed fleet in Liyue Harbor, and is known as the "Uncrowned Dragon King".

However, Beidou was full of impatience at this moment. He strode to Ningguang and slapped the table hard: "Hey! What do you mean by calling me over all of a sudden?"

"Don't make a fuss in the study." Ningguang straightened the documents that were scattered by the slamming on the table, and said calmly, "Don't you know why I called you here?

The scale of your Southern Cross Fight Club is too large, far exceeding the budget you reported. How are you going to argue about this matter?"

Beidou's face froze, then he burst into laughter: "What? Is such a small matter worth your worry? You don't understand, when holding a martial arts competition, the most important thing is the style. I can't let others look down on me..."

Ningguang just raised her head and stared at Beidou with cold eyes. Beidou was almost unable to continue talking.

"Don't keep staring at me. Just say what you want to say." Beidou said uncomfortably, feeling like he had been stared at.

Ningguang said nothing, still staring at her coldly.

Finally, Beidou gave up: "Okay, I was wrong. I didn't estimate the number of people who would come to participate."

At this point, she paused and added, "But this can't be blamed on me. It's mainly because the Traveler's appeal is too strong, which has led to a large number of viewers and participants."

After listening to Beidou's explanation, Ningguang's expression softened a little, and she said in a cold tone: "Even if you have your own reasons, the budget has exceeded the limit, which is equivalent to breaking the contract."

"It's not that serious..." Beidou argued unconvinced.

"If I say there is one, there is one!" Ningguang snorted, and then changed the subject, "However, I will not punish you for this matter..." "You have to have the ability to do so." Beidou muttered softly.

Ningguang's forehead was bulging with blue veins, but her expression remained calm. She said calmly, "Do me a small favor. I can handle the budget for you."

"What help?" Beidou's eyes showed vigilance. Ningguang, this woman, never does business at a loss. He was afraid that he would be led into a ditch by her.

"Don't be nervous." Ningguang covered her face and chuckled before saying, "I want to send someone to Inazuma, so I need a boat ticket from you."

Beidou blinked and turned to look at Lu Shiyuan, "Is it him?"

“Not bad.” Ningguang nodded.

"Oh, that's it." Beidou burst into laughter. "No problem, no problem. It's settled. Don't bother me about the fighting meeting again."

As she spoke, she patted Lu Shiyuan's shoulder carelessly and said, "Don't worry, little brother. When I set sail, I will definitely take you with me."

After saying that, Beidou quickly turned around and ran out of the study, as if something terrible would happen if he stayed for another second.

"Since the matter you entrusted me to do has been completed, I will not bother you any more." Lu Shiyuan stood up and said goodbye.

“If you have time, you can come visit me anytime.” Ningguang stood up to see him off.

After the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, Lu Shiyuan finally left.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed. The crew of the Southern Cross Fleet informed Lu Shiyuan in the morning that they would set sail on time tomorrow morning.

After dinner that evening, Lu Shiyuan made final preparations before departure.

"Have you packed your toiletries, spare clothes, and bedding?

I heard that some parts of Inazuma were contaminated by too much lightning element, so I asked someone to go to Xumi to order a protective suit, which I also put in the ring. If you feel unwell, you must put on the protective suit immediately. "

In the room, Mona kept chattering about the things her boyfriend should pay attention to before leaving, and she seemed even more anxious than Lu Shiyuan. She walked around the room, thinking about what else was not prepared.

Suddenly, she slapped her head and said, "By the way, I heard that there are thunders every day in Inazuma, why don't you bring a lightning rod with you, Shiyuan?"

Lu Shiyuan didn't say anything, but looked at Mona with a smile. He felt really blessed to have someone who cared about him like this.

Mona tinkered until late at night, and almost emptied the house before she was finally sure that she had missed nothing and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's getting late, Maggie." Lu Shiyuan said with a smile, "Go to bed quickly."

"Shi Yuan..." Mona stared at him blankly, her eyes misty, "I can't bear to leave you."

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Lu Shiyuan smiled and held the girl in his arms, "When I come back from Inazuma, we'll get married."

Mona curled up in Lu Shiyuan's arms and arched her back like a pig, then raised her head: "Is there only one promise?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Shiyuan blinked?
Before he could react, a pair of soft lips pressed against his lips. The girl took advantage of the situation and pushed Lu Shiyuan down on the bed with both hands.

"In addition to promises, please give some substantial guarantees!" said the girl with a blushing face.

Lu Shiyuan reacted immediately, pressed Mona on the bed, and smiled: "Of course there is such a guarantee!"
