Genshin Impact: The Sage's Disciple Doesn't Want Fame

"Amin, what kind of trick are you up to now?"

"It's nothing, just a countermeasure. If the Winter Solstice envoy is easy to talk to, then I won't issue a proclamation."

Wendy clicked her tongue and complained, "Amin is getting more and more cautious; he's not free at all."

"Is it not even free for someone to have a harem?"

Upon hearing this, Wendy immediately laughed: "That's so liberating! I hope Armin's head doesn't get chopped off. I don't want to see Miss Keqing holding your head and laughing maniacally on the rooftop."

After imagining it for a moment, Ji Ming broke out in a cold sweat and chuckled dryly, "No, Ke Qing is a good girl."

I'm actually still quite scared, and I hope that one day I won't be attacked with a machete.

“Amin, I saw it a few days ago.”

"What did you see?"

"You and Ms. Gan Yu were hugging in the office."

That can't be right, he remembers closing the windows that day.

Oh, this guy is a wind spirit, that makes no difference.

However, to teach Wendy a lesson, Ji Ming still tapped him on the head with a dark face and said irritably, "Don't use wind element to observe me next time, what if I'm doing something important?"

Wendy asked teasingly, "Oh, getting down to business?"

What serious business are we doing? It can't really be dealing with government affairs, right? Playing games with my beloved girls counts as doing serious business too.

Ji Ming knocked again: "Hand over your Inazuma comic book, I'm confiscating it."

"No, I'll be bored to death if you confiscate it."

Inazuma manga is so good, especially those produced by Yaedo, which are the best of the best.

A new manga has recently been released, which seems to be a light novel adapted from a manga called "Reborn as a Liyue Diplomat, Falling in Love with the Little Fox Inazuma," written by Fox Si.

So you're really writing under your real name? Even he can guess who it is.

Tsk tsk tsk, Ah Ming has so many romantic entanglements to settle, he'll have to pay them all back in the future, it's really pitiful. I wonder if his back and kidneys can handle it.

It doesn't matter, just grow more chives.

Think about it, Amin seems to prefer older women, such as Ms. Shenhe who is about half a year older, Ms. Keqing who is in her twenties, and Ms. Ganyu who is several thousand years old, each one older than the last.

"Amin, do you prefer older women or younger women?"

"I like all of them."

Wendy said somewhat discontentedly, "To be honest."

Ji Ming said frankly, "Women are like a jar of fine wine; the longer the wine is aged, the more fragrant it becomes."

“Amin definitely prefers older women,” Wendy said with a cat-like smile. “Want to see what Morax would look like as a woman, a mature, sophisticated lady?”

Ji Ming chose to confront his desire directly: "I want to see."

Long, black stockings, beautiful and rich—even just looking at her is quite a treat, not to mention the older, mature woman is Morax, which makes it even more exciting.

Unexpectedly, Wendy smirked and said, "If you want to see it, just ask for it yourself. If I ask, I'll definitely get beaten up."

Ji Ming shrugged: "Putting everything else aside, do you think that if I open my mouth, Grandpa Zhongli will suddenly transform into a mature woman for me?"

"You are his most beloved crown prince."

“If I bring up this request, it might be abolished. Wendy, you don’t want to see me get abolished, do you?”

He has the desire but not the courage.

Wendy raised her hand and teased, "If Armin says so, I can turn into a woman. Want to see?"

Ji Ming immediately refused: "I won't look."

What a joke! Ji Ming admitted that Wendy did have a unique androgynous beauty. If this guy were really turned into a woman, he would definitely be the target of pranks.

Besides, can Wendy really transform into a mature, sophisticated woman?

At most, she'll become a slightly taller cute girl. Ji Ming already has enough cute girls around him: Hu Tao with her little tiger teeth, Xiang Ling, the little chef, Yun Jin, the little drama queen, and Barbara, the little angel.

I'm already tired of it, hurry up and take it away!

I want mature, older women, I only want mature, older women.

As if she could read Ji Ming's mind, Wendy raised an eyebrow and made a complete change of expression in front of him.

She wore long, white stockings and her original bard outfit had been replaced with a light green crop top. Her hairstyle was still braided, but her facial features seemed softer, giving her the air of a spirited older sister next door.

"So, do you feel a special kind of excitement?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Ji Ming looked her up and down. To say she was pleasing to the eye was an understatement; she was indeed quite beautiful.

The thought that the girl next door was Wendy instantly turned any budding feelings of attraction into nothingness, vanishing without a trace.

If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be: Bro, you smell amazing.

Wendy is Wendy. Even if she becomes a woman, it won't matter. Wendy's gender is still Wendy. Being somewhere between a man and a woman, Ji Ming won't feel anything.

However, we can try to confirm it a little.

"Wendy, let me hug you."

Wendy smiled broadly and opened her arms, saying, "Come on, feel Barbatos' loving embrace."

After trying it out for a bit, Ji Ming felt a pang of regret: "I'm sorry, it seems my second brother doesn't really like you."

Upon hearing this, Wendy was struck dumb: "Wh...what? Armin, how could you not have feelings for me? I have to criticize you!"

"Criticizing me won't help. If you don't feel anything, you don't feel anything. You should just change back to normal."

Amin definitely prefers bigger ones. This one is a bit flat; next time, let's try making it bigger.

Hmph, Ah Ming, keep pretending. Sooner or later you'll be convinced.

Chapter 192 That's enough

The members of the Nine Gates were both surprised and gratified by Ninth Brother's current achievements, but they felt no fear or alienation.

Even if he becomes the Little Emperor, he will still be their ninth brother, won't he?

Liyue Harbor is not close to Guili County. It normally takes nearly a month to walk there, more than half a month to travel by sea, and only ten days to travel by horse.

When the messenger of the Thousand Rock Army waved the imperial edict in his hand and charged into Guili County, a new era quietly dawned.

Fate is truly wondrous.

Just like once, on a cold winter day, the members of the Nine Gates, wrapped in tattered cotton-padded clothes, huddled in a Bronze Sparrow Temple, holding wine made from various grains to keep warm, and the wind and snow could not drown out their conversation.

Even now, in this increasingly hot summer, the members of the Old Nine Gates still force themselves to wear respectable official robes. Fortunately, the Wind Spirit and the New Wind God have made the Prefect's residence much cooler, and the breeze blowing through the leaves outside the house covers their not-so-loud conversation.

Fate is truly wondrous.

Ji Ming, seated at the head of the table, tossed the peanut shells in his hand into the central brazier. Watching a spark suddenly fly up, he revealed a rather childlike smile.

As the eldest brother, Liu Muzhi put his hands in his pockets, looked around, and asked, "Ninth brother, when are you and that Miss Ke Qing getting married?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the others who had been discussing government affairs immediately abandoned the unimportant topic and looked at Ji Ming with expectant or curious eyes.

Ninth Brother has become a minor emperor, and should have used an honorific title to avoid using his name. However, at his insistence, the members of the Nine Gates still called him whatever they wanted, and the group of sworn brothers continued to enjoy themselves.

Faced with his brothers' expectations, Ji Ming grinned and said, "It's still early, it's still early, there's no need to be in such a hurry, is there?"

As the eighth brother, Qingkui immediately stood beside his ninth brother and chimed in, "That's right, the ninth brother is now the Emperor, and he has to deal with so many things every day. I believe Miss Keqing can understand."

I understand you, you idiot. You probably want Wendy from next door to become the queen of the ninth prince.

The crowd glanced at Qingkui with disdain, then ignored him and continued their enthusiastic conversation.

Liu Muzhi sighed: "Alas, Xiangling is such a good girl... Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by you. It's more important for you and Miss Keqing to live a good life and give birth to a prince as soon as possible."

“Yes, yes, let your fourth brother name them then, I guarantee they will be auspicious,” Chen Huaizhang said cheerfully. “If Miss Keqing is willing, she can have more children, the more princes and princesses the better.”

What the heck? Weren't we just talking about politics? How come we're suddenly being pressured to get married and have children?

In the entire Liyue region, probably only a few people dare to urge him to get married and have children.

Ji Ming was a bit overwhelmed: "It's still far from certain, brothers, please don't make a fuss."

Zhao Huaisheng grinned and said, "So what? We'll handle everything else. You, Lao Jiu, just focus on your own important life matters."

"I'd like to, but it's too difficult."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Could it be that Miss Keqing felt she was not good enough for Ninth Brother, and therefore wanted to break up with him?

That can't be right. Although we've had very little contact, based on my impressions of Keqing from my time in Liyue Harbor, she's a very proud woman with both exceptional abilities and looks. She and my ninth brother would be considered a perfect couple.

Seeing his sworn brothers captivated, Ji Ming subtly curled the corners of his lips: "Sigh, I've been thinking these past few days about how to allocate my time properly when there are so many good girls around me."

The atmosphere fell silent. Yang Zaifeng poked the brazier with a tinderbox, breaking the silence: "Ninth Brother, if this were in the old Liyue Harbor, you would have been arrested for harassing women and causing trouble."

"Hehe, the past is the past. I am now the Little Emperor, and I'm about to poach Miss Yanfei from Liyue Harbor. For now, I'll give her a job as a legal advisor."

"This doesn't seem appropriate, does it? Lady Yanfei is doing just fine in Liyue Harbor..."

Ji Ming laughed: "What do you mean by 'Lady Yan Fei'? I'm planning to open a new agency in Guili County. By then, your official positions will be much higher than Yan Fei's. Why should you be afraid of her like before?"

How could they not be afraid? Back in the gang days, the Old Nine Gates and Yan Fei were like mice seeing a cat, they couldn't even run away in time.
