My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

The version of myself on the screen has probably already indulged in various ways of playing the mortal world, otherwise I certainly wouldn't have developed such a low-level desire for Ningguang.

Keqing glanced at Ningguang beside her and said sincerely, "Thank you, from now on."

Even at this point, seeing what would happen if Ningguang, her counterpart, weren't on the screen, Keqing was still unwilling to admit defeat.

"You're welcome, Yuheng, who is a poor and innocent little Tianquan star who has been subjected to unspoken rules."

Ningguang smiled and replied, "Hmm, this state... no wonder she's my nemesis, Keqing."

The Keqing on the screen is probably just someone who got tired of playing the field and finally went so far as to turn on herself. Alas, Keqing really can't leave her home in Tianquan.

Without her own constraints, Keqing would be completely unfettered and could exercise the authority of the Seven Stars at will, while the other Seven Stars would have no connection with her.

Keqing cannot exist without Ningguang, just as Mondstadt cannot exist without Mondstadt Castle, and Liyue cannot exist without Liyue Harbor.

Sigh, I never expected to be entrusted with such an important task without knowing it. I'm really something else.

However, judging from Ke Qing's boredom and her tendency to seek thrills on screen, it seems that the wealthy Tianquan Qiqi on screen is probably only interested in making money and doesn't care about anything else.

It seems that I, Ningguang, am indeed the savior of Liyue. Without me, Ningguang, the people of Liyue would be in dire straits.

In the real world, the two of them unanimously decided not to continue thinking about the same question, which was the request that Keqing had made earlier on the screen.

Meanwhile, on the screen above, Ningguang looked at Keqing with a rather complicated expression.

"Yuheng, I am very disappointed in you. I never thought you would end up like this."

In response to Ningguang's words, Keqing shrugged and replied in a relaxed tone: "If it weren't for this moment, what would I be after if I were Yuheng Star?"

Ningguang, this time I will not give up on you again. No matter the cost, I will hold you in my arms again.

?

Ningguang was stunned by Keqing's words. What was she talking about? She wasn't even that familiar with her.

What do you mean you won't give up on me this time? I've barely even met Ke Qing before.

"Are you saying this to everyone you've fooled?"

Ningguang spoke in a wary tone, and at that moment she quietly began to move away from Keqing.

"I've only ever said these words to you, and I've only ever made this request to you, my dear Tianquan Star~"

Seeing Ningguang Keqing speak the truth, and at this moment, outside the Qunyu Pavilion, Qiqi's small fists were already clenched.

I, Tianquan Star, am not dead yet, and you already want to turn Tianquan Qiqi, who is already incredibly wealthy, into Tianquan Ningguang, who is already incredibly wealthy?

I'm angry!

Just as Qi Qi was getting a little angry, Ning Guang in the Jade Pavilion said in a somewhat helpless tone, "What exactly do you see in me? Can I change?"

Wait, physical characteristics... it seems like they can't be changed?

Ningguang realized the seriousness of the problem at this moment, while Keqing shook her head and replied, "No, no, no, what I value is not your body, but your soul."

In exchange for the position of Tianquan Star, would you be interested in a brief romance with me?

It turns out that lesbians really are all around us.

Looking at Keqing's words on the screen, Ningguang in the real world looked at Keqing with a surprised expression. She didn't expect that Keqing really didn't like her body, but her soul.

Wait a minute, what am I thinking? Keqing is really good at sweet talk. I don't do lesbian stuff, not even if Beidou came.

"What was that version of me on the screen thinking? Could it be that Yuheng's work was so exhausting that the version of me finally went crazy?"

Keqing, feeling somewhat confused, spoke with a puzzled tone. She was quite certain that she had no ulterior motives towards Ningguang. Yes, that was probably true.

However, why would the version of herself on the screen make such a choice? Relationships would only slow down her work pace, and Keqing would rather work overtime than waste time on a romance.

"I agree."

At this moment, Ningguang on the screen spoke crisply and decisively. Upon hearing this, Keqing in reality nodded knowingly: "As expected, Ningguang will refuse... wait, agree?"

Ningguang, what are you doing, Ningguang?!

Turning to look at Ningguang beside her, Keqing's eyes were filled with confusion.

"Ah Qing, actually I've liked you for a long time~"

Seeing that Keqing beside her had no feelings for her at all, Ningguang casually teased, "The version of myself on the screen probably has a similar mindset to the current me."

"Hiss, things seem to be getting interesting. What should I say now, even though I was here first?"

Beidou, who had been watching Keqing and Ningguang with interest, spoke up at this moment, while Keqing felt that Ningguang beside her was a complete stranger.

What on earth is Ningguang saying? Is this a confession? How should I reject her?

All I want to do right now is work overtime, work overtime and work overtime some more. I simply don't have any extra time for a relationship.

Ningguang looked curious, wondering what Keqing would say next.

Chapter 809: Two Keqings

“Ningguang, I think you should go to the top of Qunyu Pavilion to clear your head. I don’t know what happened to me in the other world, but don’t think I will fall in love with you.”

Keqing said in a cold tone, and upon hearing this, Ningguang clutched her heart and made a hurt expression.

At this moment on the screen, Ningguang's lips curled slightly as she looked at the position of Tianquan Star given by Keqing:

"I originally wanted to refuse outright, but... but the offer was just too tempting."

Upon hearing this, Ke Qing asked in a tone that suggested she already knew the outcome: "So what is your choice? Will you agree to my conditions and become my lover?"

"Don't worry, as long as you agree to my conditions, the position on Tianquan Star is yours."

Just as Keqing had expected, Ningguang replied in a cold voice, "But I refuse. The thing I love most is saying no to self-righteous people like you."

I will earn the position of Tianquan through my own hard work. Tianquan Qiqi, who is extremely wealthy, is indeed a formidable opponent, but I am confident that I can defeat her.

Qiqi... The long years have endowed her with unfathomable wisdom, but now she is ultimately just an old relic forgotten by time.

This ancient relic, when facing my Ningguang, will ultimately meet only one fate: defeat, followed by surrendering the throne of Tianquan to me.

Ningguang's confident tone seemed to have infected Keqing, who clapped her hands and then continued:

"Then I look forward to your move. Next... won't the guest who's been eavesdropping come out and have a chat with us?"

Looking in the direction where Qiqi was hiding, a flash of lightning crossed Keqing's eyes, and her Divine Eye began to flicker with purple fluorescence.

"You guys really know how to give me a big surprise, Yuheng, in the future."

At this moment, Qi Qi walked in from the doorway and looked at the two people in the room, saying this. The instant she stepped in, the power of frost instantly continued to erupt from the meridians of her body that interfered with the outside world.

In the blink of an eye, half of the Jade Pavilion had been turned into an ice sculpture, but Keqing remained calm and confident in the face of this scene.

"It's been so long, my ancestor!"

It seems you're quite ambitious about seizing your rightful place in the world. Well then, I won't interfere in your battle any longer.

Seeing that Qiqi Keqing had said this, she instantly teleported across space to Keqing's home.

“Very good. In that case, the plan can move to the next stage. Tianquan and the future power struggle will sweep across the entire Liyue. At that time, Liyue will have no time to attend to my grand plan.”

Ke Qing's voice, like that of a villainous boss, rang out in the room, while sounds continued to come from Ke Qing's boudoir on the other side.

"Mmm, mmm!"

The person trying to make a sound seemed to have their mouth blocked by something, unable to call for help. At this moment, Qing's lips curled up:

"My plan is about to be completed, and in that case, all the kingdoms of the mortal world will be brought under my control."

The hearts of the seven ruling gods of the mortal world will not be collected by the lady, nor by beings from the future, nor by the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel.

Only one person can gather all seven hearts of the gods, and that person is me, Yuheng, Keqing!

As Ke Qing spoke, she walked toward the source of the sound. Upon hearing the name Ke Qing, the moaning sounds coming from somewhere in the bedroom intensified.

Upon hearing this sound, the expressions of the people in the real world became somewhat subtle; it was hard not to have the wrong idea given the current situation.

"I have no doubt that you on screen might do something depraved."

Although I know that you are fundamentally very different from the Keqing I know, doing this kind of thing with your face... is still a bit hard for me to accept.

Ningguang frowned slightly, clearly already having guessed what was going on, and looking at herself on the screen, Keqing snorted coldly:

"I'm completely broken now. I'll bury this hopeless Yuheng Star myself."

Ke Qing felt that once she became stronger, she could consider searching for the source of this record of fate.

Go to that world where history is moving towards normalcy, and then establish a path of civility and new customs for Liyue.

Ke Qing thought to herself at this moment, while on the screen she slowly walked into the depths of the room and finally stopped in front of Ke Qing's wardrobe.

Keqing's room was actually neither simple nor luxurious; the ordinary furniture and lack of unnecessary decorations reflected Keqing's own style.

That is to be swift and decisive.

"Keep yelling, no one will come to save you even if you scream your lungs out, my cute little pet~"

Ke Qing squatted down, rested her chin on her hands, and spoke to the wardrobe in front of her in a playful voice. The being inside the wardrobe seemed to be stimulated by her voice and kept bumping against it, trying to escape.

"Don't waste your energy anymore, you're no match for me now."

As Keqing spoke, she reached for the wardrobe, while Ningguang in the real world couldn't hide her astonishment.

Goodness, I never thought Keqing would actually dare to do that.

Keeping a mistress hidden away... Ke Qing, you're something else!

Ke Qing opened the wardrobe, revealing a girl whose hands were handcuffed and whose mouth was stuffed with a wad of cloth.

"It's only been a few hours, is it really necessary to be so excited to see me, my lovely Ah Qing~"

Keqing looked at the girl imprisoned in the wardrobe and said this. As she spoke, she snapped her fingers and the cloth in the girl's mouth disappeared. At this moment, the purple-haired girl standing opposite her had the exact same face as her.

"twin?"

Looking at the identical Ke Qing, who was tied up and hidden inside the cabinet on the screen, Gan Yu said uncertainly.

At this moment, Qing frowned and shook her head: "It is indeed me."

“Indeed, no one knows Keqing better than me. That pitiful guy who was tied up is undoubtedly Yuheng next to me.”

Ningguang looked at Keqing on the screen and realized that something was wrong. Compared to the Keqing who seemed like a seasoned womanizer before, the current Keqing looked more normal and might be the real one.

But if that's the case... then who is this other Keqing? I've never heard of Keqing having any brothers or sisters.
