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

Even those who have conflicts with Ji Ming are very likely to become his future rivals and opponents.

Xiangling stood tall and straightened her back, forced a smile and walked up to Barbara. The two girls started whispering to each other, occasionally glancing at Ji Ming, and then letting out cute giggles at the same time.

Ji Ming: "?"

No, what happened to the mid-lane skirmish?

I had originally planned to use my long-lost "self-destruction" technique to turn the two girls from enemies into best friends who could talk about anything.

As a result, without Ji Ming even having to lift a finger, Xiang Ling was able to establish a good social relationship with Barbara with just a few words.

Opening the post-match results panel, wow, Xiangling's score is 13.0, the little chef got the MVP.

Ji Ming? Ji Ming's rating is 3.0, he's just a lazy winner!

Chapter 130 What's wrong with the childhood sweetheart giving her some perks?

"Amin, where are Miss Ying and Little Paimon?"

Inside the dormitory room outside the church, the sound of rushing water gradually subsided, and Xiangling, with her hair in a bun, poked her head out, steaming hot air rising from it.

The young cook was simply wearing a bathrobe, which was surprisingly bold.

Ji Ming didn't turn his head, holding the Steambird Newspaper in his hand, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Oh, those two went out to fool around with Knight Amber."

Xiangling tilted her head, walked out wearing bunny slippers, and peeked openly at Ji Ming, muttering, "It's getting late, Miss Ying and Little Paimeng aren't going to be sleeping out in the wind, are they?"

"Let them have their way. Perhaps all travelers possess the qualities of adventurers?"

"I don't know, but Miss Barbara wants to live with me, so I need to prepare the sheets and blankets first."

Ji Ming looked completely bewildered: "Have you two become that close?"

Despite being somewhat prepared, Ji Ming was still surprised and alarmed by how quickly the two girls' relationship had progressed.

Putting aside the possibility of a mid-lane showdown, it's impossible for them to become inseparable best friends. Xiangling's possessiveness has been getting stronger lately, but it's still within a reasonable range. She's still a cute and adorable little cook.

Xiangling raised her head proudly and said, "At first I thought Miss Barbara was a bad person, but after getting to know her, I found out she is a very kind person."

When Armin ran away to Mondstadt alone, everyone thought that given his personality, he would end up sleeping under a bridge, but it turned out that Miss Barbara took him in.

As her childhood friend, Xiangling couldn't bear to see Ji Ming suffer. Since Ji Ming had received a favor from Miss Barbara in Mondstadt, she didn't mind building a good relationship with Miss Barbara and properly thanking this young priest.

Seeing that Xiangling's expression was natural, Ji Ming no longer doubted the relationship between the two girls. He refocused his gaze on the newspaper in his hand and asked, "So, when is Miss Barbara coming?"

Xiangling counted on her fingers: "About half an hour later? There's a communal chanting session at the West Wind Church in the evening, so she'll be here a little later."

Seeing that Ji Ming seemed to be deep in thought, Xiang Ling reached out and poked his cheek, then sat down beside him casually, her eyes darting around as if she were also thinking about something.

Armin clearly feels guilty towards Miss Barbara; should we give him a little push?

Sometimes, relationships between opposite sexes involve one person feeling guilty towards the other. If this guilt isn't resolved in time, it can become increasingly unsettling over time.

Even though Miss Barbara is beautiful and kind-hearted, Xiangling will never let her kidnap Amin, absolutely not.

Xiangling coughed lightly, gently swaying her bare thighs, completely ignoring Ji Ming's gaze, and subtly hinted, "Ah Ming, don't forget to apologize to Miss Barbara."

Ji Ming nodded: "That's exactly why I came to Mondstadt this time. So, Miss Barbara, are you really angry?"

Xiangling shook her head, her eyes clear, and said, "At first she was quite angry, but after I told her a few embarrassing stories about Amin when he was a child, she wasn't so angry anymore."

Ji Ming looked on incredulously: "Xiangling, so you're a traitor too?"

When it comes to his childhood, Ji Ming has many embarrassing stories he doesn't want to recall. The key is that Xiang Ling is his childhood sweetheart, and she knows very well about his childhood.

To put it bluntly, it's just childish and immature. Whenever Ji Ming thinks about the past, he feels embarrassed and scratches his toes.

Unexpectedly, Xiangling showed no mercy and revealed all the embarrassing things that happened to him when he was a child. Although this made Miss Barbara less angry, Ji Ming still felt very ashamed.

Xiangling stuck out her tongue: "Anyway, Amin has a thick skin, so I'm not afraid."

Fine, I'll tell you then, as long as Miss Barbara doesn't stay angry.

"Bang bang bang..."

A crisp knock sounded on the door. Ji Ming and Xiang Ling exchanged a glance, and the latter immediately stood up and began to shove the former: "Ah Ming, it's your turn to shine."

Ji Ming stood up, resolutely walked to the door, opened it, and his gaze immediately fell on the little angel in front of him.

Barbara had probably just finished her evening chanting and prayers; she hadn't had time to change out of her church uniform yet, and the little angel with her hair in pigtails looked adorable.

Barbara blinked, and when she saw the figure in front of her clearly, she couldn't help but puff out her cheeks: "Mr. Ji Ming, it's been a long time!"

So cute, I want to tease them.

Ji Ming grinned: "Miss Barbara, the bento box I'm missing..."

“No more.”

Barbara tilted her head back, gave a soft hum, walked past Ji Ming into the room, and ran towards Xiang Ling with a smile.

Ji Ming looked utterly disappointed: "Really?"

Barbara subtly smiled and said, "Really?"

You left without saying goodbye back then, and now you still want to eat her bento? Unless you apologize properly, you won't get it.

Xiangling had intended to take Barbara to the girls' room for a private chat, but out of the corner of her eye, she discovered that her childhood sweetheart was following behind her.

"Amin, what are you doing?"

Ji Ming chuckled: "Let me join in too, I'd love to hear you guys chat."

Xiangling crossed her arms and refused without hesitation: "No, this is a private conversation between girls. A-Ming can't come in."

Barbara nodded repeatedly, clearly not wanting Ji Ming to participate in the girls' whispers, since some of them were private and unspeakable topics.

The two girls turned Ji Ming away, leaving him bewildered in the cold wind.

Never mind, I'll apologize tomorrow.

Ji Ming sat back down at his desk and continued to read the Steambird newspaper with a sense of boredom. He felt that he was becoming more and more like an intellectual.

There was no way around it; staying in the church all the time would get boring. Plus, with the martial law in Mondstadt, Ji Ming couldn't run around like he used to, so he could only read the newspaper to pass the time.

This newspaper isn't very interesting; it's almost entirely filled with academic research sections, which Ji Ming isn't interested in at all. It's more likely that Seventh Brother will be curious about it.

So boring, so boring. I should have gone out with Ying and the others. It's a pity that Ji Ming was so captivated by Xiang Ling's fair and tender thighs that he was only thinking about feasting his eyes on her after she finished taking a bath.

They're childhood sweethearts, so what's wrong with a childhood sweetheart occasionally giving her childhood friend some perks?

Especially after the young cook had just finished bathing, her skin was fair with a rosy glow. Little Jiming almost stood at attention again, but fortunately, Jiming himself concealed it well, and Xiangling did not notice anything amiss.

Ji Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He planned to take a shower and then go to his room to sleep.

Chapter 131 Wendy, who occasionally appears in the bathroom

"Ah Ming, it's been a long time!"

"It's only been two or three months since we last met, which really isn't a long time."

In the bathtub, Ji Ming stared with dead fish eyes, the veins on the back of his hands and forehead already bulging. It turned out that Wendy really liked to show up when he was taking a bath.

Not long after entering the bathroom, Wendy brazenly barged in like a breeze, completely disregarding what Ji Ming was doing.

To be honest, Ji Ming would get goosebumps uncontrollably if a man stared at him in the bathroom.

Seeing Ji Ming's disgusted expression, Wendy grinned and said, "Well, I couldn't help it. I was following that traveler the whole time and had no idea that Ah Ming was taking a shower."

Ji Ming said expressionlessly, "Now that you know, could you please get out of here?"

To be honest, when Ji Ming thought that Barbatos, the wind god worshipped by everyone in Mondstadt, was like this, wouldn't their faith collapse instantly?

Especially Barbara, who was chatting with Xiangling, would be heartbroken if she knew that Lord Barbatos was so irresponsible.

Wendy feigned pitifulness: "Hey... Amin is so mean. I had something important to discuss with you this time, not just some random thing."

Ji Ming was skeptical: "Is there anything that can't wait until I've finished showering?"

The Wind Goddess before him often oscillated between seriousness and unseriousness, with unseriousness being the majority. Therefore, Ji Ming found it difficult to believe Wendy's words, especially in a bathroom setting.

Wendy remained silent, only chuckling repeatedly.

Ji Ming sighed and compromised, "Get to the point, I'm going to sleep in a bit."

"Amin, do you want to be the Wind God?"

As he spoke, Wendy reached through his chest and, after a slow groping, pulled out a glittering Heart of God.

Ji Ming had never seen the Heart of God before, but when his Eye of God uncontrollably developed an affinity with the Heart of God in Wendy's hand, he immediately understood.

This Heart of God is what the Winter God and the Fools have been secretly searching for.

Wendy raised an eyebrow and smiled: "I was thinking of giving it to you after a while, but I really want to retire. Why don't you accept this Heart of God, Armin?"

Ji Ming glared at him with dead fish eyes again: "No, I'm going to become the Rock King Emperor, I don't want to be the Wind God."

Venti feigned disbelief: "Hey, hey, hey, where's the Geo Archon with the Anemo Vision?"

In any case, Ji Ming just didn't want to. He had always hoped to become the Rock King Emperor and hear Senior Sister Gan Yu's catchphrase in person.

Yeah, for the sake of Emperor Yan and Junior Brother Ji Ming, just thinking about it makes me feel so good.

On the other hand, what makes sense for a Liyue native to become the Anemo God? Was Venti drunk and confused?
