Could she be... the illegitimate daughter of a wise ruler?!

"Eh eh eh?!"

Naganohara Yoshimiya cried out, "No! He promised to pursue us! How can a wise ruler have a daughter?"

Ayaka Kamisato smiled and quickly covered Yonomiya's mouth, saying indifferently, "Yominomiya, can you calm down a little?"

"No no no!"

"Klee is an elf."

Seeing that her words had an effect, Ayaka Kamisato released her hand and looked down at Kuri: "Kimi-nii is a very important person to you, isn't he, Kuri?"

With her hands behind her back and swaying unconsciously, Keli said blankly, "Keli doesn't know. Commander Qin said that Brother Jiming is someone Keli can trust."

Ayaka Kamisato's smile remained unchanged as she pressed on, "Why is that? There must be a reason, Kuri?"

Xiaogong, you can't rush things. What you did just now could easily scare the children. This is the correct way to use polite phrases.

Although it's Ji Jun who's pursuing us, he might also be pursuing other women at the same time. To ensure we have enough time to spend together, we need to subtly try to get some information out of him.

Qin, could it be that you are also within Ji Jun's pursuit range?

Don't worry, we won't interfere with your relationship and time with Ji Jun, but please don't interfere in our lives with Ji Jun.

Seeing Ayaka Kamisato's gentle smile, Klee poked her little finger, about to answer, "Because Brother Ji Ming is the wind..."

"A deafening roar echoed through the sky, and the Emperor made a dazzling entrance!"

A sudden gust of wind rushed towards him, and Naganohara Yomiguchi exclaimed in surprise, quickly covering his face.

Ayaka Kamisato used a small fan to cover her face and pressed down on her skirt with her other hand to prevent the wind from blowing up her dress and revealing her private parts.

When the gust of wind subsided, the two looked over again and found Ji Ming standing where Ke Li had been. Ke Li had already been picked up by Ji Ming and was nestled in his arms, staring blankly into space.

"Mingjun, do you know Little Keli?"

Having shaken off the negative emotions brought on by her impulsiveness, Naganohara Yoshimiya regained her cheerful and generous demeanor. She grinned and leaned over, poked Kuri's cheek, then deftly circled around and naturally hugged Ji Ming's other arm.

The way this wise ruler acts is just like a responsible father—super reliable!

Putting away her small fan, Ayaka Kamisato glanced helplessly at Naganohara Yomi-no-miya, but finally gave up on trying to get information out of him. She stepped forward and said, "Good afternoon, Lord Rock God."

In any case, a sensible woman knows she shouldn't ask any more questions, but Ji Jun just happened to show up.

Everyone has secrets, and Ji Jun is no exception. Since she doesn't want others to know, she also doesn't want to do anything that would put Ji Jun in a difficult position.

Good afternoon, you two lovely ladies.

Feeling his heart pounding, Ji Ming forced a cheerful, boyish smile. At this moment, he had no intention of enjoying the huge softness in his arms; his attention was entirely focused on Ke Li.

Spark Knight of the Knights of Favonius? As the Wind God, Ji Ming felt ashamed. He had been the Wind God for so long, yet he hadn't even memorized all the knights' titles in his knightly order. In the end, he was still incompetent.

Putting everything else aside, just take Wendy, who has already become a parasite. He can definitely recite the name of every member of the Knights of Favonius from every generation, and even the name of every citizen of Mondstadt.

In the future, let's give it more attention; it's the wind god's responsibility.

At this moment, Keli came to her senses, stared at Ji Ming with her beautiful big eyes, reached out and pinched his cheek, and asked in confusion, "Big brother, who are you?"

Ji Ming feigned seriousness: "I am the Ji Ming brother you have been looking for, Little Ke Li."

"Oh, it's Brother Ji Ming."

Klee fell silent, showing neither resistance nor excitement, as if she were forced to work, exuding an aura of utter despair.

What's wrong with this kid? He seems like a very lively person, so why is he suddenly giving up?

Suppressing his doubts, Ji Ming looked at the two girls from Inazuma and said with a smile, "Ladies, would you do me the honor of having dinner with me at the Prefect's residence tonight?"

"Great! ...Pfft!"

An elegant and skillful elbow strike interrupted her friend's speech. Ayaka Kamisato joked, "Can't wait to start pursuing him? Let's skip it today. Ki-kun is probably quite busy. Let's find some time to get together alone."

After saying that, Ayaka Kamisato led Naganohara, who was clutching his lower abdomen, into the Shihōkan, with a long, drawn-out Yoomiya soul following behind.

Sigh, the golden retriever must have been hurt by the elbow strike. Poor kid, he's got Ayaka completely under his thumb.

Never mind, I found a little cleri on the road. She wants to come home with me, so I might as well take her home to keep Qiqi company.

One daughter is never too few, two daughters are never too many; Ji Ming admits he's a doting father.

Holding Keli in his arms, Ji Ming teleported back to the prefect's residence and said cheerfully, "What's wrong, little Keli, do you not like your brother Ji Ming?"

"like."

"Liar."

"Nakoli doesn't like it."

"Do not believe."

What's wrong with this older brother? He's so annoying!

Keli pouted: "Brother Ji Ming, do you want Keli to like you?"

Ji Ming, with his mischievous side fully exposed, asked, "Little Keli, do you want your brother Ji Ming to like you, or do you want your brother Ji Ming to dislike you?"

"You can't answer a question with a question!"

After a brief tiff, Klee still pondered the issue. Since Leader Jean trusted Brother Ji Ming, it meant she could trust him too. So, she definitely wanted Brother Ji Ming to like her.

But Ji Ming is trusted by Commander Qin, so he must also oppose frying fish, right?

Hmm, days without frying fish are so boring. Suddenly I don't want to be liked by Brother Ji Ming anymore.

Is this question difficult to think about?

Sitting in Ji Ming's lap, Ke Li leaned down subconsciously, but didn't feel the familiar softness. Aunt Lisa usually treated her like this, so she was a little unaccustomed to it now.

After thinking for a while, Keli said, "Keli wants to like Brother Jiming, and hopes that Brother Jiming will like Keli too."

As soon as she finished speaking, Keli felt her little face being rubbed hard. She struggled for a moment and looked at Ji Ming in a panic.

Ji Ming, who had already become a doting father to his daughter, beamed with joy and held Ke Li tightly, not letting go of her. He was indeed charmed by Ke Li's thoughtful expression.

"Then Brother Ji Ming will like Ke Li."

"Keli doesn't like Brother Ji Ming yet."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ming immediately became serious: "Tell me, how do you want to test Brother Ji Ming?"

Klee shrank back: "Bomb...read a fairy tale book."

That's it? In Liyue Harbor, Ji Ming would be reading fairy tales to Qi Qi every day. It wouldn't be difficult at all.

"No problem, I'll read one now, and Little Clary can observe first."

After taking off Keli's little boots and tucking the elven girl onto the bed, Ji Ming expertly pulled out a fairy tale book called "The Strange Tales of Wuwangpo," took a deep breath, and prepared to read aloud.

The book title was written in standard English, and upon seeing the words, Klee was immediately terrified and hid under the covers, crying, "No, Klee doesn't want to hear ghost stories!"

Ji Ming scratched his head. He remembered that Qi Qi really liked this book. Although Senior Sister Gan Yu and Ke Qing were very resistant to him reading this kind of fairy tale book to Qi Qi, he would read it to her no matter what since Qi Qi liked it.

Unfortunately, Klee doesn't seem to like it.

To stop Ji Ming from telling ghost stories, Ke Li is prepared to reveal: "Ke Li wants to fry fish. If you take Ke Li to fry fish with you, Ke Li will fall in love with Brother Ji Ming."

Ji Ming's eyes lit up: "Why didn't you say so earlier? I'm best at frying fish."

"……Eh?"

Staring with her beautiful big eyes, Klee fell into deep self-doubt, fearing that she had misheard.

………………

Staring with her beautiful big eyes, Klee fell into deep self-doubt, fearing that she had seen wrong.

"The heavens are moving!"

Riding on Ji Ming's shoulders, Ke Li held his head as she watched a massive meteorite tear through the clouds, crashing down with terrifying force towards the Cloud Sea below.

Like a dweller of the void, Ji Ming stood leisurely with his hands behind his back, his feet touching nothing, watching the meteorite swooping down from ten thousand meters above the ground with great interest.

The air was compressed, and the surface of Yunlai Sea was also squeezed by the huge meteorite, creating a deep vortex. Until the meteorite made contact with the sea surface, the seawater was instantly squeezed into the high air, forming walls of water tens of thousands of meters high.

At the same time, countless fish soared into the air, occasionally interspersed with some strange sea monsters, but none of them were able to touch Ji Ming and Ke Li. They seemed to be separated from the surrounding things by a thin, transparent veil.

"Eh...Eh eh eh!"

With her eyes sparkling, Klee couldn't contain her excitement and opened her arms wide, exclaiming that this way of frying fish was much more fun than using a bouncy bomb.

Brother Ji Ming, it turns out, is also a kind person who likes fried fish, and like Dudu Ke, he is Keli's friend!

"How about it? Isn't your Brother Ji amazing?"

Keli said softly, "Brother Ji Ming, I like it!"

Wow, that feels so good, let's throw in another one.

Another meteorite fell from the sky, and Yunlaihai once again entered a state of turmoil. However, this is a recognized no-man's land, and even the most experienced fishermen do not choose to fish here for a long time.

Hmm, let's designate this place as the fried fish zone from now on. I'll bring Qiqi along sometime; those two little ones will definitely become good friends and keep each other company.

Just as Keli cheered, and just as Ji Ming was pondering, beneath the sea of ​​clouds, near the Lonely Cloud Pavilion.

The vortex demon god, Oser, who had just broken free from his seal, and his wife, Bazhi, perished under the two Heavenly Phenomena. Even in their dying moments, they still believed that Morax was responsible.
