Genshin Impact: Reincarnation Exposed, Heroines Run to Their Husbands in Tears

"That thief stole my purse."

"Oh, I know he stole your purse."

"Huh?" Ningguang stopped what she was doing upon hearing this, and stood frozen in place.

What's wrong with this guy? He clearly knows the purse in my hand is his, but he won't give it back.

[Is this person deliberately trying to make fun of me?]

Thinking of this, Ningguang cried even harder.

However, Su Bai ignored the little Ningguang who was crying loudly.

He scratched his ear and calmly said, "It took me a lot of effort to get your money pouch back."

"Liyue is the city of contracts."

"You can't expect me to work for nothing, can you? Unearned gains are the biggest enemy of the spirit of a contract."

"You'll at least have to show some sincerity and sign a contract with me to help you get your money back before I'll return it to you, right?"

[Ningguang heard this.]

Silence fell immediately.

Ningguang, who grew up in poverty and aspired to change her fate through business, naturally understood that Liyue was the city of contracts.

[This is like a business transaction; there are sellers and buyers. In Liyue, where commerce is the primary focus, the spirit of contracts is especially important.]

"But..." Ningguang lowered her head dejectedly, "But I don't have any equivalent items to enter into a contract with you anymore."

[A contract, of course, requires an equal exchange. - Yang]

Ningguang naturally understood this principle.

[However, to her surprise, Su Bai pointed to her pocket: "Don't you still have a lollipop in your pocket?"]

Chapter 124: Su Bai, with Ningguang on the left and Keqing on the right, the Time Ruler descends upon Teyvat.

It's as expected.

Su Bai didn't take the last lollipop from Ningguang's pocket for nothing.

But Ningguang is so cute, it's such a pity that Su Bai only wanted the lollipop.

In the live broadcast room.

Ying: "Master Su has lost out big time. He should have taken little Ningguang home as his child bride at this time."

Paimon: "Uh... Su Bai probably didn't expect Ningguang's final achievements to be so high."

Ke Qing: "I agree. Su Bai picked up Shen He, but only took the lollipop from Ning Guang's hand. It's such a pity."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun: "What nonsense are you talking about? Shen He and Ning Guang are different in nature, okay?"

Ningguang: "Perhaps Su Bai saw through my ambition long ago, which is why he didn't bring me into the immortal sect. Alas... what a pity..."

Xiangling: "Ah, even Lady Ningguang thinks it's a pity."

Ningguang: "I missed my closest chance with Mr. Su Bai (So difficult, Fu Ningna)."

Shen He: "(Staring at Shen He)"

Gan Yu: "Junior sister is unhappy."

Shen He: "Ah, no, I just posted it on a whim."

The wind on the Jade Pavilion stirred Ningguang's white hair, causing it to flutter.

She stood on the horizon, overlooking the entire Liyue Harbor.

The gaze fell upon the very neighborhood where Anju lived.

"Hey kid, I've already given you the money pouch, what are you doing following me around like that?"

Su Bai, with a lollipop given to him by Ningguang in his mouth, looked at the tiny Ningguang following closely behind him with an "impatient" expression.

Upon hearing Su Bai's question, Ningguang quickly ran to him with small steps.

She handed all the money bags in her hands to Su Bai.

【"Um?"】

The white-haired little girl's actions truly stunned Su Bai.

I don't quite understand what she's trying to do.

"What are you doing?"

[Su Bai asked with a hint of suspicion.]

"Let's sign another contract."

Ningguang's voice was slightly weak, but her eyes were filled with anticipation.

"You must be really impressive to be able to snatch my purse back from that thief."

【"so..."】

"Could you sign a contract with me to protect the peace of Liyue and prevent thieves from stealing our money again?"

"Liyue is a country primarily focused on commerce. How can businesses thrive if they don't have a stable business environment?"

"If people's hard work is easily destroyed by others, no one will want to do business anymore."

[The innocent Ningguang mustered her courage and looked at Su Bai with unwavering determination.]

This scene truly exceeded Su Bai's expectations.

The young girl before me, though so young, has such a forward-looking perspective.

[In the future, he will definitely be a figure who surpasses even 597.]

[Seeing that Su Bai did not answer.]

Ningguang's rising momentum weakened instantly.

【"that..."】

"I know I don't have enough money to sign this kind of contract with you, but don't worry, just like before when you helped me get my money bag back."

"I'll make up the difference in the contract once I've earned the money. What do you think?"

[Upon hearing this.]

Su Bai smiled slightly and tossed the money pouch back to Ningguang.

The moment Ningguang caught the money pouch, a hint of melancholy flashed across her refined face.

"As expected, this request was a bit excessive."

[The goal is to get the powerful figure in front of the businessman to provide a stable business environment.]

The Mora I have in my purse is indeed insufficient to sign a contract with him.

However, the next second...

The sound that reached Ningguang's ears made her freeze in place.

She watched Su Bai's departing figure, a blush of joy rising on her beautiful face.

"If you can promise me that even if you become a very successful businessman in the future, you will maintain your moral principles and not become someone who is blinded by greed, then I will promise to guarantee the peace and stability of Liyue."

"I promise you." Ningguang nodded repeatedly, watching Su Bai's departing figure.

"Alright, the contract is settled."

【...】

A smile played on Ningguang's lips as she stood in the Jade Pavilion.

A faint smile.

"Looking back now, I realize I was too naive as a child."

"So much so that they fell into the True Lord's trap."

[Thinking back to the past.]

[Happiness radiated from Ningguang's face.]

[Given her current status and the intelligence she possesses.]

Finding out Su Bai's identity is not particularly difficult.

Ningguang wasn't overly shocked upon learning the result.
