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

Good grief, I suspect you did this on purpose!

"Alright, go to the yamen and rest for a while. Take the tea leaves you like... Keep walking in, then turn left and you'll see the yamen."

After seeing Mavica off, Ji Ming composed himself and said cheerfully, "Xiaogong, Linghua, it's been a long time!"

Naganohara Yomi-miya remained silent, just standing there humming incessantly, indicating that she was sulking.

Is she a child? Well, in Inazuma Castle, Yoomiya does seem to be the kind of person who is a leader of children, after all, she is the older sister in her hero form.

Ayaka Kamisato bowed slightly: "It's been a long time, Your Majesty."

Ji Ming chuckled: "Does it have to be so formal? Let's be more casual in private. Aren't we friends?"

The kind of people who have soaked in hot springs together.

“Ambassador Kamisato was speaking just now,” Kamisato Ayaka winked playfully, “Now it’s Ayaka-san’s turn to speak, Ki-kun.”

Ji Ming touched his chest: "A familiar feeling."

Naganohara Yoshimiya, no longer bothering to pretend to be angry, rushed over and hugged Ji Ming's arm, grinning as she asked, "Did you feel your heart flutter?"

"Hmm... When I discovered you guys eavesdropping behind the wall, I did feel a sudden flutter in my heart, and it almost stopped."

"Foolish Mingjun, who told you to do that kind of thing with Kagami? Now Ayaka and I know your little secret, and Mingjun doesn't want your girlfriend to know about it, does he?"

This girl from Inazuma, please tone down your Inazuma-style dialogue. Your gender doesn't even fit the context for saying that, does it?

Ji Ming shrugged: "I really was just sparring... Believe it or not, it's up to you. Ke Qing will believe me anyway."

So her name is "Ke Qing," the girlfriend of the wise ruler. It's a pretty name...

Holding onto Ji Ming's arm, Naganohara Yomi-no-miya fell silent again, like a possessive golden retriever, staying by Ji Ming's side unwilling to let go, pouting with a stubborn expression.

There's a saying that goes, "The most painful thing in the world is to be jealous but not have the right or the status to be jealous."

Okay, being jealous doesn't feel good, and I can't put Mingjun and his girlfriend in a difficult position, so...

Feeling wronged, Naganohara Yoshimiya struggled with her emotions before finally letting go of Ji Ming's arm and leaving behind the warmth she longed for.

Noticing Naganohara Yoomiya's subtle expression, Kamisato Ayaka sighed softly and said directly, "Ki-kun, if you could, could you refuse Yoomiya... and me here?"

As the white egret princess of the Kamisato family, Kamisato Ayaka has her own pride. If Ji Ming rejects them here, their relationship will stop at the level of "friends".

Knowing that she already has a girlfriend, pursuing Ji Ming, who has become the Rock God, goes against the pride of the White Heron Princess.

Some might say that girls have the right to pursue happiness, and besides, she's just a girlfriend; whether they get married or not, we'll see who has the last laugh.

Ayaka Kamisato wouldn't do that; she wants her own happiness, and Ki-kun's girlfriend also wants her happiness.

It's fine as long as I get rejected here.

Hearing this, Naganohara Yomi pursed her lips and pretended to be strong, saying, "That's right, this is the first time Yomi-nee in her hero form has been rejected. Myo-kun should cherish this opportunity."

"Do you really want to be rejected that badly?"

The two girls asked in unison, "Does the wise ruler not want to refuse?"

Ji Ming, his face full of righteous indignation, said, "My heart is filled with the entire land of China; how can I be biased towards only one side?"

With a # symbol appearing on his forehead, Naganohara Yoshimiya forced a smile, but his tone was icy: "Myo-kun, try saying that again."

Ayaka Kamisato's smile vanished instantly, and she said expressionlessly, "Wouldn't it be better to throw away this kind of Ji-kun as hazardous waste?"

What a sharp tongue! She looks so sweet, could this be the White Egret Princess in her venomous form?

Faced with the two girls' threats, Ji Ming chose to confront them head-on, putting his hands on his hips and shouting, "I'm an emperor now, can't I have a harem?"

Besides being an emperor, he is also a super-free wind god, so he has no choice but to start a harem.

"Your Majesty!"

Nagano Hara Yomi was filled with righteous indignation and pounced on him with a flurry of punches, but the physical damage was zero. However, it dealt a massive psychological blow to Ji Ming.

Inazuma Golden Retriever, so cute!

Ayaka Kamisato took out a small fan, covering the lower half of her face, her eyes fixed on Ji Ming, and suddenly laughed, "Ji-kun is so brave, you shouldn't be afraid of your girlfriend, right?"

Of course I'm not afraid. I'm just a mere cat princess, only qualified to lie on the bed and meow.

However, he still had to back down when necessary, because if he really started a harem, the person he would feel most sorry for would be Ke Mao Mao.

"Want to tattle, Ayaka?"

"No, I'm wondering if Miss Keqing would be angry if I agreed to become Ji Jun's woman?"

As if she saw through everything, Ayaka Kamisato's eyes were full of laughter. She pinched a small fan and patted Ji Ming's head, chuckling mischievously, "Miss Keqing's maximum tolerance is probably only for Liyue women, right?"

Oh no, how can this woman be so intelligent?

Ji Ming chose to be stubborn: "So what?"

"Not really. Just wondering, is it true that Ji-kun will definitely pursue me and Xiao-gong until we become part of your harem plan?"

Upon hearing this, Naganohara Yoshimiya was startled and quickly shook his head, saying, "No, Your Majesty, you can't pursue me!"

Ignoring the hissing Golden Retriever, Ji Ming stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, "I will pursue you, unless you really dislike me or are truly disgusted by my behavior, then I will immediately give up on this idea."

Upon seeing this, Naganohara Yoshimiya immediately said, "I do not like wise rulers."

"I do not believe."

"Your Majesty!"

After another round of light punches, Naganohara Yomi was furious and looked at Kamisato Ayaka with teary eyes, hoping for timely support from allies.

Unexpectedly, not only did their allies remain unmoved, they also took advantage of the situation.

"Yes, even Xiaogong himself probably doesn't believe that. Wait until you really dislike Ji-kun before you say it seriously."

How could this be...? Of course I like her, but to become one of the many women of a wise ruler is something I can't accept.

How many girls does Mingjun actually like? Could it be that he likes all the women in Liyue, from eighty-year-old grandmothers to five-year-old girls, not letting any of them go?

No, that would turn a wise ruler into a piece of hazardous waste.

In this way, she must once again transform into the heroic form of Sister Xiaogong and save all the women of Liyue!

How can we save all the women of Liyue? It's simple: she sacrifices herself to appease the tiger, using her charm to conquer the wise ruler, making him willingly love only her for the rest of his life.

Thinking this, Naganohara Yoshimiya revealed a resolute look in her eyes, hugged Ji Ming's arm again, and said earnestly, "Let's date, Myo-kun!"

"I do not want."

Naganohara Yoshimiya's composure crumbled instantly, the Yoshimiya was badly damaged, and he fell silent in a flash: "Why?!"

"Because you haven't truly fallen in love with me, I won't force any girl to date me if she doesn't love me."

After completely opening his heart to Hu Tao, Ji Ming firmly remembered this principle: he had to face his feelings squarely and not let any girl suffer.

Ayaka Kamisato, intrigued, asked, "If a girl truly loves you, to the point that she can't live without you, but you don't love her, what would you do?"

Ji Ming did not evade the question, but answered directly: "Then I will fall in love with her and marry her, if she can tolerate my philandering."

"But you've never loved her?"

"Then force yourself to fall in love with her."

If you don't fall in love after a month, or even two months...

What about three years?

What about four years?

Ten years, twenty years, thirty years... Ji Ming's lifespan is theoretically infinitely long. A hundred years can be passed in the blink of an eye. He can spend decades loving someone he didn't originally love.

Even if he never fell in love with her in the end, decades of companionship could be considered a long-term commitment, though they couldn't grow old together.

Similarly, Ji Ming could spend decades pursuing one or more girls. Even if he couldn't win their approval of his affections in the end, decades of companionship would still be considered a long and happy life together.

Even a hundred or a thousand years from now, Ji Ming will still be able to recall the girls who loved him or didn't love him, call out every shameful and strange nickname he gave them, and then shed tears of happiness.

Having tried my best is better than not trying at all, Ji Ming thought to himself.

"Wise ruler, don't you consider your own interests at all?"

Ji Ming laughed: "You don't even care about yourself? I'm already thinking about building a harem. Who in the world is more selfish than me?"

He originally intended to abolish concubines, but since the girls he loved were all his wives, the abolition of concubines still had legality.

No, in Liyue Harbor, polygamy seems to be a crime, and it seems one can only have one wife?

Hmph, when Yan Fei arrives, I'll have her change it directly, adding the phrase "except for the Emperor" at the end.

Just kidding, even the Emperor can't break the law.

What? You're saying that nobody else can have a harem, so why can I, the emperor, do it?

Please, you already said I am the Emperor.

It makes perfect sense for an emperor to have a harem, right?

Tap tap tap...

Whose Barbara is this?

Ji Ming turned his head and saw that Ayaka Kamisato was standing to his right, hugging his arm like Yoomiya did, and gently poking his waist with her left hand.

"Ji Jun, come and pursue us."
