The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 240 Beidou and Ningguang (1)

In a residence under Ningguang's name in Liyue Harbor, Bai Shi was standing respectfully outside the bathroom waiting for Ningguang. Just now, when Bai Shi was sorting out various documents that required Ningguang's personal approval, she suddenly received a message from Ningguang asking her to deliver the new clothes she had made a few days ago.

Bai Shi, who was usually responsible for matching clothes for Ningguang, was quite confused when she received this message. According to the schedule she had seen yesterday, it seemed that the clothes that were quite difficult to make but showed off Ningguang's figure very well would not be needed today.

After thinking for a while and still not figuring it out, Bai Shi simply didn't think too much about it. As long as she could help Ningguang change her clothes, no matter what clothes Ningguang asked for, she, Bai Shi, would definitely deliver them to her as soon as possible.

Facts have proved that Bai Shi was right to think so. With the identity of Ningguang's secretary, Bai Shi successfully entered the house. Hearing the sound of water coming from the room, Bai Shi swallowed his saliva.

"Bai Shi, please hand me the clothes,"

In the bathroom, Ningguang's slightly lazy voice broke Bai Shi's fantasy. Bai Shi quickly put away the smile on his face and respectfully handed the clothes to Ningguang who was in the room.

With the rustling sound of changing clothes, Ningguang slowly walked out of the bathroom. Ningguang, who had just come out of the bath, had pearls on her temples, eyes like stars and moons, and her rouge windows and powder bed could reflect people. She was slightly charming, but not coquettish, and had a charming demeanor.

Taking in this rare beauty in the world, Bai Shi's heartbeat quickened uncontrollably. Although she was a girl like Ningguang, Bai Shi seemed to have been attracted by something fatal. Her eyes kept unconsciously drifting towards Ningguang, and she couldn't control herself even if she wanted to.

"Lord Ningguang, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Knowing that she would lose her composure if she stayed here any longer, Bai Shi hurriedly lowered her head and said goodbye to Ningguang. She could not let her desire for her own Master Ningguang be exposed. If she was exposed and Master Ningguang disliked her, Bai Shi felt that the whole world would turn gray.

"Well, go ahead. Go to Liuli Pavilion at noon to order a table of food and bring some good wine."

Seeing Bai Shi lowering his head and not daring to look at her, and knowing Bai Shi's usual little habits very well, Ningguang did not expose Bai Shi, but directly agreed to Bai Shi's departure. Bai Shi was one of the people she trusted the most, and she could understand that he had some desires for her, and this kind of desire made her trust Bai Shi more easily. After all, it is difficult for a secret admirer to betray the person she has a crush on.

After getting Ningguang's approval, Bai Shi hurriedly left the house. Her first priority now was not to go to Yuehai Pavilion to order lunch but to go home and change her pants. Her own Lady Ningguang was too charming that Bai Shi could not stand the sight of her just coming out of the bath.

"I say, Ningguang, did you bully your secretary? I saw her run out with a red face. Could she be sick?"

"I have to give you a good talk about this. How can you exploit your employees like this? You make them work even when you are sick."

Not long after Bai Shi left, Beidou came in carrying a pot of wine. Because he would get together with Ningguang every time he came back from the sea, Beidou was familiar with Ningguang's three secretaries, so he recognized at a glance that the person who was running away with a red face was one of Ningguang's three secretaries, but Beidou didn't know which one it was.

"Captain Beidou is really a good captain who cares about his subordinates. But I was a bad woman who exploited my employees. I really failed in my duty~" "Alright, stop pretending. It's just that we've been out at sea for a little longer this time. Are you so unfamiliar with calling me Captain Beidou? Also, I seriously suspect that it was you who told Keqing that my Death Star was not parked properly. Keqing just told me that she received a report and that's why she went to give me a ticket."

As Beidou and Ningguang are old friends, he is naturally very relaxed in front of Ningguang. He sits down opposite Ningguang carefree, opens the wine jug and takes a big gulp of wine.

"It's great! The wine from Liyue is really strong. Ningguang, you don't know that the sake from Inazuma tastes like water to me. It's not satisfying at all. And this is the only sake that Inazuma can buy."

Beidou wiped the wine from the corner of his face and mouth with his sleeve, and complained to Ningguang. Sailing on the sea was a boring thing, and the wine he bought in Liyue was finished halfway. For Beidou, being monitored was torture.

"As for alcohol, it's better to drink less."

Seeing Beidou sitting down opposite her, Ningguang reached out and took Beidou's wine jug and put it aside. Beidou had no objection to this and shrugged as if she thought of something incredible. She asked Ningguang with a serious expression.

"Ningguang, I heard on the road that you destroyed the Jade Pavilion to protect Liyue. Is this true or not? It's not like the news I heard in other countries that the Rock King was assassinated by the Fatui. Are you making it up?"

Public opinion sometimes does not represent the truth. When Emperor Geo King passed away, Ningguang was able to manipulate public opinion to transfer the anger of the Liyue people to the Fatui. Now, she may be able to manipulate public opinion to hide the truth about the smashing of the Jade Pavilion and then announce to the outside world that it was to protect Liyue.

Although Beidou looked down on this kind of behavior, if it was Ningguang who did this, then she believed that Ningguang must have her own reasons for doing so. After years of getting along with each other, Beidou knew Ningguang too well. In her opinion, Ningguang was not a person who would fake things for the so-called false reputation.

Furthermore, Beidou, who had participated in the construction of the Qun Yu Pavilion before, knew the cost of the Pavilion very well, because the construction of the Qun Yu Pavilion not only consumed a large amount of Mora, but its three core materials were also extremely difficult to find. Even if Ningguang was rich, Beidou did not believe that Ningguang would destroy the Qun Yu Pavilion for a little bit of false reputation.

"It seems that you, Beidou, don't know what has happened in Liyue Harbor since the day of the Immortal Ceremony. Then I will tell you so that you don't have any plans to target Ruojin in the future."

Ningguang chuckled and slowly recounted the major events that had taken place in Liyue Harbor in the past few days. With Ye Lan as the intelligence chief, Ningguang knew everything that had happened in Liyue Harbor even if she didn't leave the house. So as Ningguang told her story, Beidou gradually became dumbfounded. No, she had only been away for two or three months, so how come so many things had happened in Liyue Harbor, and how come all these things were related to that traveler.

"I say, Ningguang, don't you think that traveler has bad luck? Why does he keep getting into trouble wherever he goes?"

At this moment, a traveler who was still struggling to do a commission had just finished dealing with an Abyss Mage and picked up an old branch of the earth vein on the ground. Ying sneezed loudly. Who was talking about her behind her back? Could it be that the pink-haired fox of Yae Shenzi had come up with a trick to tease her again? That was not right. Didn’t the pink-haired fox go back to Inazuma yesterday?
Forget it, forget it, don't think about it anymore. I'd better go and complete the commission as soon as possible and pay back the Mora that I owe to Yae Shinko. Rubbing his nose, Ying, who was holding the Tenmokage katana, put the materials into his backpack.
