Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

"Qin, has she suddenly gained weight?"

Qin Ye opened his mouth: "It's not just that you've gained weight, it's like you've become a completely different person."

The auspicious beast, controlling its round, spherical body, swept through the sea of ​​flowers like a whirlwind.

The most outrageous thing is that even though she ate so quickly, she still cared about the aesthetics of the environment, leaving almost no crumbs behind, and ate neatly and cleanly.

"Hey..."

The girl sighed: "It seems we still have a long way to go, and a lot to accomplish. Even such a polite child can't get a decent meal."

Her figure doesn't look like someone who's starving at all!

"Hey?!"

Soon, the little girl's screams came from afar.

"what happened?"

Qin Ye looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the sphere could not control its body and rolled into the underground cavity he had temporarily built.

"..."

In the future, I will also have the opportunity to tell others about Gan Yu's childhood stories.

Thanks to his quick reaction, he used water to create a soft bed inside the cave, preventing the other person from getting hurt and keeping dust off her fur. It was just that the waterbed was too smooth that she rolled quite far.

"Young lady, you should..."

Qin Ye stopped abruptly, a plan forming in his mind: "Little girl, you didn't come to Guili Town just to escape the war, did you?"

"Hmm...that's how it is."

Gan Yu quickly sat up straight, as if the awkward scene had never happened.

As an auspicious beast, the Qilin possesses immense power but is gentle and dislikes fighting. However, Qin Ye would never let such a powerful creature escape. Even if he had to train her under his tutelage first, he would protect Li Yue once they developed feelings for each other.

"Would you be interested in working under me?"

This girl looks naive and easily fooled...

So, in order to prevent bad people from taking her away, wouldn't it be better for a good person like me to take her away first and avoid a lot of bad things from happening?

"Does taking up this post mean...participating in the war?"

"How could that be? If the sky were to fall, the Rock King Emperor would be there to protect us. There's no reason for you or me to go to the battlefield."

Qin Ye patted the little coconut sheep's head, then gently... forcefully picked it up.

"What do I need to do?"

"It's nothing much, just some easy jobs. They'll provide meals every day, and they'll make all sorts of vegetarian dishes for you. Three meals a day, two days on, five days off, late nights and early mornings. How about it, are you tempted?"

"Not lying?"

"How could that be? My superior, Morax, is the God of Contracts. How could I possibly disobey the contract?"

Gan Yu hesitated, rubbing her hands together, and then peeked out at Columbia, who was wearing a kind smile.

Um...

My sister seems like a good person, so the person she likes can't be a bad person either.

"Okay, I promise you."

"The contract is complete, but starting tomorrow, we need to adjust your physical condition. Let's start by feeding you Qingxin Flower dishes for two months."

"?"

Where have all my sweet flowers, glass lilies, sunset fruits, and apples gone?

"You can eat whatever you want after that, just bear with it for now," Qin Ye said with a smile, trying to comfort him.

Then you can start eating vegetarian meals three times a day, work for two years and rest for five days, work until 10 am the next day and sleep for an hour until 11 am, and go home with documents to continue working late and early.

What a wonderful future to look forward to!

Chapter 286 Liyue

"Gan Yu, please take this stack of documents to Gui Zhong for me."

"Okay! Please wait a moment!"

The little girl put down the pens that were bundled together for signing, tidied up the documents in front of her, and made sure that signing six documents at once would not result in missing strokes because the pens were bundled together.

After a period of training by Qin Ye, Gan Yu has transformed from a ball into a graceful young woman.

Now her back doesn't ache, her legs don't hurt, and she can climb a mountain in one go without any effort.

Thanks to Qin Ye's care, she also came to understand something during this time.

Although Qingxinhua (a type of herb) is good for weight loss, it's not as unpalatable as you might imagine.

Columbia's sister had told her that this was because she hadn't been eating enough lately and had been trying too many herbal teas, which had created a false sense of well-being. She suggested that she try some other things and pay attention to a balanced diet.

But she really didn't want to gain weight again.

Thinking back to the time I rolled so far out of the hole...

I really don't want to have this experience again.

She took the documents from Qin Ye's hand and was about to turn and leave.

"Wait a moment, take this."

A bag of Mora was tossed into Gan Yu's hands: "Take this. Zhong Li paid me my salary a couple of days ago. I don't have anywhere to spend it, and I didn't even count how much I had. Buy whatever you like."

Taking the heavy bag, Gan Yu looked somewhat confused: "All of it... for me?"

There must be quite a few of these, right?

"It's alright, I'll just ask Zhong Li for money when I need it," Qin Ye said casually, his head down as he processed the documents.

"Didn't you say last time that the Emperor shouldn't be allowed to mint coins at will, because excessive minting would lead to irreversible consequences?"

Gan Yu remembered clearly that Qin Ye had many insights that she had never heard of before, and these insights had never been experienced by anyone else. It was as if Qin Ye was born with these knowledge.

"Oh? Oh, I did say that, but that was just to make him more careful with his money. Otherwise, if he spends hundreds of thousands of Mora on a pottery jar, I'm afraid he'll beat me to death when I get back."

Zhongli is spending so much money now because he mints coins indiscriminately and is somewhat extravagant. After Qin Ye's explanation, he has toned it down a lot, but who can blame him for loving his people so much that he accidentally raises prices and makes a loss.

Qin Ye is cultivating Zhong Li's awareness of linking Mora equivalence with contracts, so that he can understand that spending too much is not a good habit.

In the future, the things he buys will be worthy of that price, because this kid has accumulated so much experience over thousands of years. Now he can be considered a young god, and he still needs to continue to grow.

If he cannot grow to the point where he can stand on his own, how could Qin Ye dare to drag him into his scheme?

The aura of the abyss has become increasingly intense recently. Fortunately, they only dare to move around at the very bottom of the ley line tree, otherwise it would have had a significant impact.

"..."

Whether the conflict can be successfully shifted depends on this next move.

To reiterate, if the natural order is allowed to rest, the balance of power will only put Qin Ye at a greater disadvantage. He needs not only to control the earth's veins and the power of Fanes, but also to control all available power.

Most importantly, he was unsure what he would face once he left this world, and the better prepared he was, the better he could protect Columbia in the future.

-

"Qin Ye asked you to run errands for him again?"

Gui Zhong frowned as he took the documents from Gan Yu's hand, his expression quite displeased.

It's just a matter of a few steps, but Qin Ye has become increasingly lazy since having a secretary.

Columbia still dotes on him so much; he's truly enjoying both a successful family and a thriving career.

In contrast, Zhongli and I...

I can't say anymore, or I'll just end up crying.

"The northern area has been basically integrated, and the battlefield created by the Emperor last time has been restored to normal with the help of Lord Qin Ye. Moreover, the Emperor has many things to do, and all I did was run errands and do what I could."

Gan Yu quickly helped Qin Ye explain, hoping to help Gui Zhong recover his mood.

“Sigh, I understand. There are many things that only Qin Ye can do. You have learned a lot from him now. The future of Liyue will depend on young people.”

In the end, it became clear that Qin Ye had never been one to hide anything, and he not only taught Gan Yu a great deal of knowledge, but even Qi Xing received much benefit from it.

Now, the Seven Stars are gradually evolving under his plan, with each position specifically responsible for different tasks.

Because they occupy different primary positions, there is not much fighting between them. In terms of succession, the older generation of the Seven Stars chooses the successor, and then the other six stars review the selection.

The army directly under the Seven Stars is the Thousand Rock Army. Although the Rock King and the Grandmaster are now the core of Liyue, this structure clearly has some other purpose in Gui Zhong's opinion.

Qin Ye did not want humanity to rely too much on the gods.

Currently, there are also drafted departments under the Seven Stars, such as the Silver Plains Hall in charge of the salt industry and the Huishan Hall in charge of the mining industry. They are all on the same level as the Thousand Rock Army. Later, after Gan Yu takes charge on his own, a secretariat called Moon Sea Pavilion will be set up, which will be directly responsible to the Seven Stars.

At the same time, the next generation of leaders will be trained and assigned to the General Affairs Department, in charge of people's livelihood matters. Under the leadership of the Seven Stars, they can exercise some necessary powers on behalf of the Seven Stars.

From this perspective, Qin Ye still trusts Gan Yu quite a bit. After all, the position of secretary allows one to speak on behalf of the Seven Stars at any time, especially since Gan Yu, a half-immortal, has a long lifespan and will gain more and more power and influence over time.

It's no wonder Qin Ye would torment and train her like this; such high expectations are hard for anyone else to meet.

"Gan Yu, could you please pass on a message to the Stone Emperor? Tell him to supervise the training of the Thousand Rock Army and not just let them wander around the streets all day."

"...Haha, I understand." Gan Yu smiled awkwardly. Since Lord Guizhong had been so straightforward, she couldn't just relay his words verbatim.

She left the office after confirming that there was nothing more to do.

She weighed the money bag in her hand and smiled happily. Although she was exhausted from work, she could see how good Qin Ye was to her.

What gifts should I buy for Brother Qin Ye and Sister Columbia?

"Gan Yu, what a coincidence."

A familiar male voice came from behind me.

"Emperor Emperor?!" Gan Yu quickly covered her mouth, and after confirming that no one had heard, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you here?"

"Oh." Zhongli shook his head slightly: "I heard that a new storytelling stall has opened near Guili Market. It was set up by Brother Qin himself. I was just about to go and take a look, but I couldn't find a seat."

"I see. Please come with me. I remember that the storytelling place was supervised by Lord Qin Ye and me."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Zhongli spoke very politely, but then a somewhat conflicted expression appeared on his face: "I have a favor to ask..."
