He changed Tiwat

However, her retreat startled Ningguang.

Ningguang shook her head and asked, "Baishi, how long did our walk take today?"

"Half an hour, Lord Ningguang," Baishi replied.

“Unconsciously, we’ve been walking for so long.” Ningguang smiled slightly and said, “I still remember when the Qunyu Pavilion was first built, it was only the size of a single room, and it didn’t even take a minute to walk around it.”

Bai Shi nodded silently, knowing that Lady Ningguang wasn't talking to her, but rather to herself.

Ningguang raised her head and looked at the bright moon above. Baishi knew that Ningguang was not actually looking at the moon, but at the island hidden in the moonlight.

“I now possess the Jade Pavilion, which now covers almost half of Liyue Harbor,” Ningguang exclaimed. “When will the shadow of this Jade Pavilion extend to the Seven Kingdoms?”

"That day will surely come, I believe in Lady Ningguang!" Bai Shi's words came from the bottom of his heart. As one of Ningguang's three most trusted confidants who had followed her the longest, Bai Shi had personally witnessed the Qunyu Pavilion grow into the size it is today.

"But even though the Jade Pavilion covers the seven kingdoms, it is still beneath Sky Island. The power of Heavenly Law and the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World will forever shine upon us."

Ningguang turned around and looked at Baishi.

"Lord Ningguang..." Bai Shi lowered his head, not daring to guess what the meaning of Lord Ningguang's words was.

"Second only to one person, above ten thousand others, yet still only second only to one person in the end."

Bai Shi was taken aback. She looked up and saw Ning Guang walking past her with a mocking smile on her face, as if she were telling a funny joke. But Bai Shi noticed that there was no smile in Ning Guang's wine-red eyes.

Ningguang entered the gate of Qunyu Pavilion, where Baiwen, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted her with a stack of documents in his hand. Ningguang did not stop and walked straight to her study.

"You speak, I'm listening." Ningguang's voice was calm, as if the moment she had just been reminiscing about the moonlight had never happened.

Baiwen was already used to Ningguang's style and followed closely by her side.

"The Thousand Rock Army that entered the Abyss of Layered Rocks has all withdrawn to the surface, and some of the Fatui have also returned to the surface. However, a portion of the Fatui have lost contact."

"Order Yanbo to lead his squadron to hold the ground entrance and await further orders."

"Yes." Baiwen turned a page of the document in his hand. "The preparations for the Summoning Ceremony are complete, and there are still three seats available for the audience. Does Lady Ningguang have anyone in mind?"

“The owner of Xiguju, Linlang, has already made an appointment with me to reserve a seat for her; the owner of Wanyou Shop, Bolai, has been waiting for three years, and it should be his turn this year; for the last one, remember to ask Miss Ganyu.” Ningguang arranged the seats without hesitation in just a few words.

"The Northern Bank has recently made unusual large expenditures, which are suspected to be related to the 'Young Master', the executive officer of the Fools."

"Increase manpower for surveillance, and report any unusual activity immediately."

"The results of the investigation you instructed us to conduct last time are in; this is the report."

Ningguang stopped in her tracks. "Give it to me. Put the rest of the documents on my desk, I'll deal with them later."

Bai Wen handed Ning Guang a letter as instructed, then quickly left. Ning Guang examined the letter in her hand; there was a dice-shaped symbol on the lacquered seal.

Ningguang opened the envelope and shook out the letter. The handwriting on the paper was small but neat, densely listing Han Fulai's various actions over the past two days, as well as Yanfei's report from the Yanshang Tea House. However, the writer only listed the objective facts, without any subjective evaluation of the subjects of the investigation.

“Neither from Fontainebleau nor from Liyue…that’s interesting.” Ningguang smiled slightly and folded the letter away.

"First it was Miss Gan Yu, then Emperor Yan Wang, and now it's Yan Fei and True Lord Ge Chenlang standing behind Yan Fei... Should we say that this person has a deep affinity with immortality, or should we regret not having won him over sooner?"

Ningguang rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, and had already made a decision.

Regardless of who this Han Fulai is, his arrival in Liyue Harbor triggered the extraordinary phenomenon of a white rainbow piercing the sun, and later, with high-ranking members of the Liyue Cult, including the Geo Archon, endorsing his false identity, he is by no means someone who can be ignored.

"I wonder if you will become an obstacle for me in the future?" Ningguang thought, her eyes narrowing slightly, her wine-red eyes devoid of any emotion.

When Yan Fei returned home, she saw Han Fulai busily washing vegetables in the kitchen.

Hearing Yan Fei enter, Han Fulai looked up and asked, "Miss Yan Fei, have you spoken with the General Affairs Department?"

"Yes, the General Affairs Department has taken over the investigation, so we don't need to worry about this anymore," Yan Fei replied.

Han Fulai responded with an "oh" and continued with his work.

"Mr. Han, there's no need for that. Let me change my clothes and then we'll go out for a meal together."

"Ah...but..." Han Fulai was a little embarrassed, as he was already short of money. Yan Fei was a wealthy woman who owned a villa with a garden at the foot of Yujing Terrace, so when they went out to eat, it would definitely be at Liuli Pavilion or Xinyue Pavilion. If he accompanied Yan Fei to a meal, he didn't know how much he would owe her.

Yan Fei, observing Han Fulai's expression, immediately understood what he was thinking. She chuckled and said, "Mr. Han, have you forgotten our bet? I still owe you a dinner."

"Ah, hahaha, I had forgotten about that." Han Fulai laughed a few times. Although he hadn't really forgotten the bet, he hadn't taken it seriously either. The bet was just a convenient excuse to make Yan Fei believe him. After all, he was living in someone else's house and owed them money; he couldn't possibly eat their food for free again.

"You can't forget that." Yanfei gave Han Fulai a reproachful look. "A bet is a contract, and Liyue is a kingdom of contracts. If you're willing to bet, you have to accept the consequences. I am the guardian of Liyue's laws. Does Mr. Han want me to do something that breaks the contract?"

“Since Miss Yanfei has said so, then I shall respectfully comply.” Han Fulai stood up and began to tidy up the kitchen.

"Mr. Han, are there any shops that interest you? Any shop will do, as long as Mr. Han wants to eat there!" Yan Fei said.

"This..." Han Fulai began to suffer from decision paralysis. Which should he choose, Liuli Pavilion or Xinyue Pavilion? He wanted to try both the delicacies from the mountains and the seafood, but he couldn't very well say "I want them all" at this moment, could he? Wait, if I choose such an expensive restaurant as soon as I hear that someone is treating me, will it damage my personal image?

Just as Han Fulai was hesitating, Yan Fei spoke up:

"If Mr. Han doesn't have anywhere in particular he'd like to go, would you be willing to accompany me to stroll through the night market in Liyue?"

Chapter Thirty-Two: Yanfei's Source of Joy

The night market in Liyue? Hearing Yanfei mention it, Han Fulai realized that although he had been in this world for three days, he had not yet visited the night market in Liyue.

Han Fu had seen Liyue's brightly lit night market during the Lantern Festival event in the game, and at that time he had the idea of ​​strolling through Liyue's night market with his favorite characters. Now that he had the opportunity to experience it in person, he certainly couldn't refuse.

Han Fulai quickly agreed: "The night market in Liyue Harbor is famous throughout Teyvat. How lucky I am to be able to see it with my own eyes today, and to have Miss Yanfei accompany me!"

Yan Fei smiled and said, "Then Mr. Han, please go upstairs and change your clothes. We'll meet in the living room later." After saying that, she went upstairs to her room.

Han Fulai returned to his room as instructed and found his plaid shirt and jeans, which he had brought with him when he transmigrated, neatly arranged on the bedside table. After a moment's thought, Han Fulai understood—since immortal magic could be used to create a circulating purified water bath, it could certainly be used to wash clothes… No wonder Master Liuyun could disassemble a set of clothes and share them with Gan Yu and Shen He, without needing to change or wash them; Liyue's immortal magic technology is truly the best in the world!

After changing his clothes, he waited in the living room for only a few minutes before a bright and beautiful young woman came downstairs.

Yan Fei was wearing a white shirt, a black narrow skirt, and a pair of high heels. Her whole demeanor changed, and she looked like a female lawyer who had stepped out of a legal drama!

Han Fulai stared blankly. If Yan Fei could be described as a beautiful and lovely girl before, now she had an added touch of charming allure that made people want to take off her lawyer's suit herself—is this the power of a uniform?

Yan Fei was clearly satisfied with Han Fulai's reaction. Although her cheeks were slightly flushed, she still deliberately circled around in front of Han Fulai.

“Look, this is the suit worn by my legal consultant colleagues in Fontainebleau. How do I look in it?” Yanfei asked.

"So...beautiful!" Han Fulai was at a loss for words.

“Hehe, I’m planning to expand my business to different countries, so I prepared these! But it’s rare to have the chance to wear these clothes in Liyue, and since you’re from Fontainebleau, Mr. Han, I’ll take this opportunity to try them on.” Yanfei explained with a smile.

Han Fulai just kept nodding and humming, unable to respond at all; he had only one thought in his mind—

Is this what they call "couple outfits"?

It wasn't until he stepped onto the streets of Scarlet Cloud Slope that Han Fulai realized Yanfei's Fontaine lawyer uniform was far more powerful than he had imagined. The residents of Liyue Harbor were already used to Yanfei's energetic and bustling manner, carrying a briefcase on her back, and usually just regarded her as Liyue Harbor's best legal consultant. Tonight, without the large xiezhi crown to conceal her beauty, Yanfei's radiance shone through without reservation, attracting the attention of passersby.

They said they wanted to see the night market lights in Liyue Harbor, but at this moment, Han Fulai sincerely believed that Yanfei was the most beautiful sight in the Liyue Harbor night market, making it impossible to look away. In fact, even Han Fulai, walking next to Yanfei, was already seen as Yanfei's own background in the eyes of passersby.

"If only I could stroll around with her, let all the passersby be envious and jealous," Han Fulai suddenly thought.

Yan Fei enthusiastically introduced the shops along Feiyun Slope to Han Fulai. Noticing Han Fulai's gaze, Yan Fei tilted her head, as if she had discovered a secret, and turned to ask with a smile, "Mr. Han, do you also want to touch it?"

"No, I didn't," Han Fulai quickly denied, only realizing afterward that he had no idea what Yan Fei was talking about.

Yan Fei didn't believe Han Fulai's denial at all. She pointed to the antlers on her head that were usually hidden by the hat and said, "Actually, a lot of people care about this because my father is an immortal, and I have the blood of a half-immortal. Of course, even if you want to touch them, I won't let you!"

"Speaking of which, most of the immortals of Liyue are reclusive and otherworldly. As an immortal, why would Miss Yanfei like to walk in this bustling city? Is it because of your contract with the Emperor?" Han Fulai quickly changed the subject to cover up his embarrassment.

"The contract with the Emperor... I was born after Liyue stabilized, so I didn't sign a contract with the Emperor. Naturally, I don't have to fulfill any immortal duties, and I can live the life I want. I'm quite satisfied with that, hehe." Yanfei replied with a smile.

"That kind of serious contract that lasts a lifetime... I've only ever made one with my dad. Hmm... it's the kind that says 'to live happily' or something, he's that kind of person. But I'm quite proud of my dad's insight. If he wanted to make a contract with me like 'to endure hardship and become a superior person,' I would definitely run away."

Han Fulai couldn't help but think of his first half of life, from "Everyone has their own talents" all the way to "I once promised to be the best in the world". He couldn't help but shake his head. Other people just lived happily and became the number one lawyer in Liyue. He worked hard and did overtime until he died and was just an unknown corporate slave. The gap between people is bigger than that between people and dogs... No, Yanfei doesn't seem to be human.

Seemingly guessing Han Fulai's thoughts, Yan Fei comforted him, "I don't know what Mr. Han has been through, but it's okay. I believe you can definitely achieve your life's ideals, after all, you're so smart!"

Han Fulai forced a smile; he still didn't know how his future would be in Liyue. "I hope so."

"Actually, although I say I want to live a happy life, there are always things in life that aren't so happy. Sometimes, the business disputes I handle often end in a less than pleasant way. The other party often has to pay several times the amount in compensation, or even more. And in these situations, it often incurs resentment from the other party," Yan Fei said.

"Take Mr. Croso for example. If this were just an ordinary business dispute, I'm afraid he would still hold a grudge against you even after paying ten times the compensation for the counterfeit goods." Han Fulai recalled the spy case he had experienced today.

"Hmm. But those people who broke the 'contract' should suffer the consequences!" Yanfei pouted. "Some people spread rumors that I'm scary, and some people avoid me like the plague. Although I didn't intend to explain to anyone, my initial purpose was for the sake of the overall environment of Liyue!"

“I understand.” Han Fulai nodded and smiled. “The dispute started with a breach of contract, and Miss Yanfei’s work made those who broke their promises bear the consequences. Seeing such consequences, everyone will naturally realize the importance of ‘contracts’. When everyone abides by contracts, the environment in Liyue will naturally improve.”

"Yes, as expected of Mr. Han. I'm happy that you understand me." Yan Fei smiled happily. "'Happy life' is something that no law or standard can define. For me, when I meet interesting people and things, and know where to take the next step, that's enough to make me happy."

Yan Fei turned around and faced Han Fulai, opening her arms as if to embrace him, or perhaps to embrace the city.

"Therefore, you are also my source of happiness."

Chapter Thirty-Three: Ah Qing, She's Lying to You

Han Fulai was stunned. As a virgin whose experience with the opposite sex was limited to holding hands and who had just been dumped a few days ago, he didn't know what to do.

What should I say? Or should I hug him? When I don't know what expression to make, is a smile enough?

Fortunately or unfortunately, Yan Fei didn't give him much time to hesitate. She simply turned around, put her hands behind her back, and continued walking forward.

Han Fulai hurriedly took a few steps to catch up.

"Whether it's taking risks or doing business, opportunities are fleeting." This sentence inexplicably flashed into Han Fulai's mind.

When they reached the junction of Feiyunpo and Chihuyan, Yanfei stopped.

"This is it," Yan Fei said, leading Han Fulai into a small shop.

The shop wasn't big, but it was clean and tidy. There were a few tables inside, but only one table was empty at the moment. It seemed that Yan Fei and Han Fulai had arrived at just the right time.

“Both Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion have long queues, so we definitely won’t be able to make it tonight. I was originally planning to take you to Wanmin Hall, but it’s closed recently. Although there are other snack shops we could consider, like tigerfish or Zhongyuan offal, I still want to recommend this ‘Qingce Farmhouse Cuisine’ to you.” Yan Fei blinked. “Although it’s not very famous, the food is surprisingly delicious.”

As Yan Fei pushed the menu on the table toward Han Fulai, she introduced, "The dish I always order when I come here is Jueyun Rice Crust! The crispy rice crust paired with perfectly smoked ham, and served with Jueyun chili peppers, is so delicious that one bite is unforgettable!"

“Since Miss Yanfei has recommended it, I must try it,” Han Fulai said with a smile.

"Also, here's this." Yan Fei said, taking out two more pieces of paper from her person and handing them to Han Fulai.

Han Fulai took them and looked at them. He found that one was an IOU he had given to Yan Fei, and the other was Yan Fei's business card. Han Fulai noticed that the business card had a very special diamond-shaped Danhuo seal printed on it.

“If it weren’t for you, I might have been tricked by Zhiqiao and Krosso. Being tricked is secondary; the key is that I almost harmed Liyue’s interests. As the guardian of Liyue’s laws, I cannot allow myself to make such a mistake!” Yanfei said solemnly. “You have helped me so much today, and I haven’t given you a thank-you gift yet, so please accept these, Mr. Han.”

"This is..." Han Fulai hesitated.

"According to the rules, if it were a joint case, I should give you at least 20% of the proceeds from this case. But on the one hand, Mr. Han and I don't have a formal employment contract, and on the other hand, Mr. Han doesn't seem to be the kind of person who values ​​money a lot, so I took the liberty of using these as a thank you."

No, no, no, at least two million Mora! I'm short of money and I love money! Miss Yan Fei, what misunderstanding do you have about me?! Han Fulai's lips twitched, roaring inwardly.

Yan Fei continued, "Of course, I can't charge you rent anymore. Now, I'm the one who owes Mr. Han a favor. This business card has my special mark on it. In Feng Dan's words, you're now my VIP client. Just show me this business card, and I'll be your 24/7 personal consultant! How about that? Not bad, right?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I only did a small thing." Han Fulai said modestly, but his actions betrayed his true intentions as he put the IOU and business card into his pocket.

Seeing Han Fulai accept the business card, Yan Fei smiled. Little did Han Fulai know that the so-called "VIP customer business card" that Yan Fei gave him was the only one of its kind in the entire Liyue.

"Alright! We're going to have a good meal tonight!" Yan Fei said, raising her hand. "Waiter, we'd like to order!"

Hearing Yanfei's call, a person emerged from the back of the shop.

"Coming right up! What would you like, sir? Our specialty dishes are Qingce farmhouse cuisine, mountain delicacies hot braised noodles, and Jueyun rice crust! When you meet in Qingce, enjoy the delicious food... Ah!" The waiter's smooth recitation of the menu suddenly stopped.

"Ah..." Han Fulai opened his mouth wide uncontrollably.

"Ah...it's you!" Yan Fei exclaimed.

"Shh...shh..." The purple-haired girl with pigtails quickly reached out and covered Yan Fei's mouth, while making a shushing gesture.

Meanwhile, Han Fulai, who was being overlooked, was full of questions: Why is Keqing, one of the seven stars of Liyue and the star of Yuheng, working as a waiter in this small shop?

"I am A-Qing, the waiter of 'Qingce Farmhouse Cuisine'. Sir, what would you like?" Ke Qing emphasized the words "A-Qing, the waiter" and asked Yan Fei again.

Yanfei pointed to her mouth, indicating that it was covered and she couldn't speak. Keqing and Yanfei exchanged glances, and finally released her.

"Ke...Ah Qing, I want two plates of Jueyun Rice Crackers!" Yan Fei ordered the food, a sly smile appearing on her lips. She deliberately pushed Ke Qing's waist to make her face Han Fulai.

"This is Mr. Han, the distinguished guest I'm hosting today. Ah Qing, you'd better serve him well. If Mr. Han doesn't eat and drink well, I'll complain about you!" Yan Fei's smile grew even brighter. She had dealt with Ke Qing quite a bit and knew that she often went to the grassroots to experience the people's lives. Of course, she wanted to take this opportunity to tease this Yuheng Star.

With veins throbbing on her forehead, Ke Qing forced a smile as she faced Han Fulai: "Boss Han, what would you like to order? Just tell me what you need, and I, Ke Qing, will be happy to serve you!"

Han Fulai smiled awkwardly, one sentence echoing in his mind: "Aqing, she's lying to you."

Outside the dimly lit doorway, Gan Yu, who had come to invite Yuheng Star back to Yujing Terrace for a meeting, stood quietly.

She witnessed Han Fulai's interactions with Yan Fei and Ke Qing. She knew now was not the time to go in, and besides, she had other matters to attend to.

She turned her head and saw a woman with short blue hair wearing a fur coat sitting at the tea stall diagonally opposite "Qingce Farmhouse Cuisine". The woman also noticed Gan Yu and raised her glass to her from afar.

Gan Yu turned and walked into the tea stall, sitting down opposite the woman. The blue-haired woman leisurely poured her a cup of tea.

"Lord Gan Yu, what a coincidence."

Gan Yu shook her head.

“Ye Lan, if there’s anything you want to know, you can just ask me. You don’t need to follow him.”
