Chapter 438 Tea Room (Two in One)

Li Qiuzhi left behind two "Fluorescent Sword Gods" to clean up the black mud in the mining area, and left the Layered Rock Abyss with Ye Lan and Gan Yu.

When we returned to Liyue Harbor, it was already night.

A few people went to Yuehai Pavilion to find Ningguang first, and found that she was indeed still in Ganyu's office, and there was a hint of fatigue between her brows.

It seems that helping to deal with Ganyu's work is not easy.

"You're back. How is it? Any news?" Ningguang rubbed her temple and asked with a smile.

"Let me explain."

Ye Lan told Ningguang the information they had gathered in the Layered Abyss.

"Is it possible that there is something wrong with the earth veins?" Ningguang tapped her chin, then looked at Li Qiuzhi and the others and said:
"Thank you for your hard work. I will arrange for scholars to conduct research and verification. I will contact you when there is work available."

[Ningguang develops a favorable impression of you, gaining 260 points of favorable impression. Current favorable impression level is Lv.8 (360/800)]

"Well, in that case, I'll go back and have a good rest for a few days. As for the matter of invisibility skills, come to the Yanshang Teahouse to find me tomorrow. We haven't finished discussing it yet!"

Hearing Ningguang's words, Ye Lan raised her arms, revealing the snow-white skin under her armpits, and stretched.

The half-exposed chest wrapped in the tight leather jacket was also pushed up by the spine and he yawned slightly.

Then he said to Li Qiuzhi.

"Of course." Li Qiuzhi nodded slightly.

"Then I'll go first."

Ye Lan relaxed his shoulders, said something and left.

“Bye!” Li Qiuzhi waved his hand, then looked at Ningguang and Ganyu and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first!”

"Oh, um, okay, Mr. Li Qiuzhi... Goodbye..."

Ganyu relaxed after returning to Liyue Harbor, and the drowsiness brought by staying up late to work overtime came back to her mind.

He was about to doze off, but after hearing Li Qiuzhi's words, he forced himself to wake up and said "goodbye".

"Ganyu, you should go back and rest as well. I can help you finish the remaining work."

Ningguang realized how heavy Ganyu's workload was, so she understood her condition.

After saying this, she looked at Li Qiuzhi:
"As for you, stay and wait for me. I'll go to the General Affairs Department with you later. I just asked and it seems that you already have quite a few of the raw stones you asked me to help collect last time."

Rough stones? Yes, he did ask Ningguang to help him collect rough stones. He almost forgot about it after not hearing from her for so long.

The same goes for the Adventurer's Guild of Mondstadt and Liyue. He has issued commissions to collect raw stones to both Catherines.

I'll ask how much I gained later... Li Qiuzhi nodded and responded:

"Okay, no problem."

"Hey, Ningguang, you don't have to help me anymore. My body with Qilin bloodline is not as bad as you think. I just can't help feeling a little sleepy..."

Ganyu shifted her gaze to her shoes and said sheepishly.

And what she likes is work and overtime.

"No need to say more, go back and rest." Ningguang's eyes under the light golden eyebrows were as calm as water, but revealed a look that could not be questioned.

“…Well, okay.” Ganyu helplessly and dejectedly moved her legs wrapped in black pantyhose slowly towards the door.

This is clearly her office, and I am clearly the senior, but I was kicked out. Woohoo...

Li Qiuzhi looked at Gan Yu's snow-white back and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Soft and fragile, very cute.

The bright yellow light illuminated the room, and Li Qiuzhi helped to archive the sorted documents.

I took a break and sat in a chair by the window, looking at the scenery outside for a while, then turned my gaze back.

Ningguang sat behind her desk and sorted out the various pieces of information that had been submitted.

Looking through the bottom of the desk, one can catch a glimpse of a pair of snow-white thighs that are close together and slightly tilted, and the black high-heeled shoes on the feet reflect a hint of light.

The hairpin, probably made of some precious wood, held up part of her light golden hair, while more of it hung down along the curve of her back.

Unlike the back of the cheongsam which was pressed down by the hips, the long hair almost touched the ground.

Although the wooden floor here is cleaned every day and there is not too much dust, it is still nice to see Ningguang's beautiful hair so close to the ground.

He wanted to go over and pick it up and put it away, so that such beautiful hair would not be covered with dust if he lowered his head slightly.

But people can’t be so rude, it makes me feel uncomfortable and conflicted!

Li Qiuzhi's gaze passed through Ningguang's fair calves and stared at the light golden hair behind her, swaying slightly from side to side.

Suddenly, the hair tip pulled up and disappeared, and Li Qiuzhi subconsciously looked up to follow it.

Then he met the scarlet eyes of Ningguang who had stood up.

Uh. He was stunned for a moment, feeling as embarrassed as if he was sneaking a peek at a pretty girl on the street and being caught by her.

A smile appeared on Ningguang's fair face, and she stared at Li Qiuzhi intently:
"Whenever you have free time, you like to sit by the window and look at me. Do you think I am more beautiful than the scenery outside the window?"

"Oh? Miss Ningguang, do you think so too? It seems that 'great minds think alike'!"

Li Qiuzhi quickly relieved the embarrassment and said with a smile.

“Oh, put these last pieces of information away, and then we’ll go to the General Affairs Department.” Ningguang chuckled, picked up the last document and handed it to Li Qiuzhi.

"Ok."

Li Qiuzhi took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to take the document.

But he did not reach out to take the front of the document. Instead, he took it from the side where Ningguang was holding it and gently stroked it naturally.

Her slender fingers wrapped in black sleeves.

Hmm. The silk fabric is very smooth and soft to the fingers.

Ningguang didn't expect Li Qiuzhi to do this. Even though she was from Tianquan Star, she was stunned for a moment.

Then she took back her hands and hugged her chest, smiling slightly and said:

"You seem quite serious on weekdays, but you are so frivolous in private? If you do this to the 'Seven Stars of Liyue', I have the power to put you in jail, or fine you!"

"Uh, Master Ningguang, I was bewildered. Please forgive me!"

Upon hearing about the fine, Li Qiuzhi immediately realized his mistake sincerely, clasped his hands together and raised them to his forehead to show surrender.

"Humph, it's not that easy for me to forgive you. Tomorrow, as my attendant, come with me to meet some business rivals."

Ningguang raised the corner of her mouth and said.

"Business rival?"

Although Li Qiuzhi was a little confused, he still nodded and agreed.

It doesn't matter what you do, what matters is being with Ningguang! He thought to himself as he looked at the prompt that popped up on the character panel.

"I'll tell you more tomorrow. Now we should go."

Ningguang put down her arms that were hugging her chest and walked outside while speaking.

Seeing this, Li Qiuzhi quickly put the file in the designated archive location and quickly followed.

When the two of them walked to the entrance of Yuehai Pavilion, as soon as they took a step outside the eaves, a cool breeze blew by.

Then, small drops of rain fell slowly from the sky, which looked like the bottom of a pot that couldn't be cleaned. "Oh? It's raining."

Ningguang retracted her outstretched foot. She looked up at the sky, then slowly moved it down to rest on Li Qiuzhi beside her.

"Hold the umbrella for me."

"Umbrella? Oh, okay, leave it to me." Li Qiuzhi was puzzled at first, wondering where he got the umbrella, and then nodded and said.

If there are no conditions, create them.

He stretched out his right hand and gently clenched it towards the sky. The next moment, raindrops like stars gathered into a trickle like rivers flowing into the sea, and flowed into Li Qiuzhi's palm.

First comes the umbrella handle, then the umbrella frame, and finally the umbrella cloth made of condensed water. An umbrella made of water is completed.

Li Qiuzhi held it, moved closer to Ningguang, and held the umbrella over the two of them with their arms touching.

He smiled and said:

"We have the umbrella, let's go."

“Not bad.” Ningguang parted her soft lips and praised.

The two walked outside, and the slowly falling raindrops were not bounced away by the umbrella made of water elements, but instead merged into it.

The water under their feet and in front of them automatically moved to both sides, leaving them a path to move forward.

This way you don't have to worry about your shoes getting wet by splashing rain.

Li Qiuzhi felt that he had done a very good job as a personal attendant.

Even on the way to the General Affairs Department, they still encountered the common problem of two people sharing one umbrella on a rainy day.

For example, your arms might bump into each other while you're walking, which isn't a very good experience.

Just when Li Qiuzhi was about to enlarge the size of the umbrella, he suddenly felt something soft hugging his right arm.

Looking to the side, he happened to meet Ningguang's scarlet eyes. She said calmly without letting anyone know her emotions:

"Please don't get me wrong, this is just to make us walk better."

"Yeah, I understand!"

Li Qiuzhi happily felt the warm body temperature coming from the arm that was being embraced.

[Ningguang develops a favorable impression of you, gaining 240 points of favorable impression. Current favorable impression level is Lv.8 (600/800)]

General Services Division.

When Li Qiuzhi and Ningguang arrived here, the rain gradually subsided. Ningguang let go of his arm and said:

"Okay, come in with me."

Li Qiuzhi nodded and followed Ningguang in.

When the two figures disappeared, the two Qianyan Army soldiers guarding outside the door looked at each other in surprise.

As if to confirm whether he had seen it wrong.

Lord Ningguang of Tianquan Star actually came over with his arms around that outstanding citizen who had made significant contributions in dealing with the sea demon!

In all these years, they have never heard that Lady Ningguang has a boyfriend. It turns out that she likes people younger than her.

No wonder!

The two Qianyan Army soldiers felt that they had discovered some incredible secret and in order to prevent themselves from being "silenced".

They all tacitly forgot what they had just seen and heard, and just thought that it was because of their old eyesight.

By the way, it seems that the only person who can be worthy of Lady Ningguang is someone who is as powerful as her.

That young adventurer not only made contributions when the demon god was causing chaos, but I heard that he also took a blow from the Thunder General in Inazuma some time ago!

It is indeed very terrifying. She is a perfect match for the talented and capable Lady Ningguang.
Li Qiuzhi, who had already walked into the General Affairs Department, had no idea what the two guards outside were thinking.

I don’t know and don’t care.

He was watching the scene inside the General Affairs Department at this time, and the first feature he noticed was that it was very large and there were a lot of people there.

Even at night and on rainy days, there are many people working here.

After all, it is a place that provides services to citizens, so it is normal to be so busy. Ningguang asked the General Affairs Department to collect her own raw stones.

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go to the supply warehouse and help you get your stuff out."

Ningguang said to Li Qiuzhi.

"Okay, thank you for your help." Li Qiuzhi said, tapping his chin lightly.

It didn't take long before Ningguang came back after he found a place to sit for a while.

Obviously, it wouldn't be so fast for ordinary people to get something from the General Affairs Department.

After all, there is a process for application review, and only Ningguang, one of the "Seven Stars of Liyue", has the authority to take things directly from the material warehouse.

Of course, it is very likely that she had already completed the formalities when she instructed the General Affairs Department to collect the raw stones.

"This is what you want, a total of 122 pieces!"

Ningguang walked up to the young adventurer and took out an ordinary small box from the Eye of God space.

One hundred and twenty-two pieces!
Li Qiuzhi didn't expect there were so many. He took the small box with some anticipation and opened it.

As expected, there was a small pile of sparkling raw stones inside!
He used his mental power to scan it briefly and found that there were indeed 122 of them. One piece could provide 3,000 experience points. With so many pieces, there were probably 366,000 experience points.
Thinking of this, Li Qiuzhi was looking forward to going to the Adventurer's Guild to see how much Catherine could collect!

"Cheng Hui, 12.2 million Mora!"

Ningguang looked at Li Qiuzhi's happy expression and reminded him in time that it was time to pay.

"Haha, of course I remember this."

Li Qiuzhi naturally did not forget that he had asked Ningguang to help collect these raw stones, so of course he would not give them to him for free.

So he readily prepared to take out Mora.

Then she was stopped by Ningguang. She shook her head and said:
"No need for that. These stones are your reward for helping me investigate the Layered Abyss today."

"Oh? So the commission I accepted today is worth more than 10 million Mora. Miss Ningguang, I suddenly don't want to work hard, what should I do!"

Li Qiuzhi looked touched.

“Haha, sure.” Ningguang crossed her arms and smiled slightly, “Just stay by my side from now on. I won’t need you, Mora. How about that?”

"Well, forget it. The identity of an adventurer is more suitable for me."

When the time came, faced with the fate of being supported by Ningguang without any effort, Li Qiuzhi still retreated.

Compared to the endless Mora, it is more suitable for him to explore the unknown world of Teyvat and meet more girls.

"Well, that's a shame." Ningguang said with pretended regret.

As a big businessman, couldn't she see what kind of person this guy was and how he could possibly be willing to stay with only her.

He just wanted to flirt with her again, and she would not let this guy succeed.
