Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 981 Ningguang: Am I a power-hungry person?

Then she walked down from the podium and came to Shao Yun and Grandma Ping.

Keqing smiled and sincerely thanked Shao Yun, "Mr. Shao Yun, thank you very much."

Shao Yun shrugged his shoulders calmly and said, "I didn't do anything. I just chatted with Grandma Ping for a while."

Keqing bowed deeply to Grandma Ping, then said in a respectful and gentle tone, "Fairy, Keqing pays her respects to you."

Grandma Ping smiled slightly, narrowed her eyes, and responded modestly, "Oh, no need to be so polite, Yuhengxing. I'm just an ordinary old woman."

Keqing straightened up, adjusted her skirt slightly, and then began to tell Grandma Ping about her feelings after the review.

"Once, I lost myself and spent a period of time in a daze."

"Now I've finally gotten those words out of my mouth. I feel so relieved!"

When Keqing finished speaking, Grandma Ping smiled and nodded, expressing her appreciation for her transformation.

"I am truly delighted to see you look so refreshed and transformed," said Grandma Ping.

"Come, have some tea. I made it myself." As she said that, she picked up the teapot and prepared to pour a cup of tea for Keqing.

Keqing quickly shook her head and politely declined, "Thank you for your kindness, Immortal, but I still need to get down to work on some things to 'set things right,' so I won't exchange pleasantries with you."

Grandma Ping nodded in understanding and stopped pushing. She simply instructed, "Alright, let's leave the decisions for Liyue, a country ruled by humans, to those of you who are capable. I hope everything goes well for you."

……

After Keqing left, Grandma Ping sighed, "Seeing Yuhengxing regain her former fighting spirit, I'm very pleased..."

Shao Yun touched his chin and couldn't help thinking. Although he didn't want to get involved in politics, Keqing's public review still made him feel uneasy.

"Although I'm not interested in politics, is Keqing going to challenge Ningguang?"

Grandma Ping placed her hands behind her back, closed her eyes, and said with emotion, "People should handle their own affairs. The immortals should only be responsible for dealing with the natural disasters and demons that destroyed Liyue."

"As you said, Mr. Shao Yun, professional matters should be left to professionals."

Shao Yun spread his hands and agreed, "That's right. I'll be leaving now. I wish you good health, Grandma Ping."

Grandma Ping accepted Shao Yun's kindness and watched Shao Yun leave.

……

At the same time, Keqing was in the Qun Yu Pavilion after finishing her public review.

Ningguang sat behind the desk, frowning slightly, looking thoughtfully at the written report that Ye Lan presented to her immediately.

Her eyes scanned the report, reading its contents word by word.

When she confirmed that Keqing had really conducted a self-reflection in public, she still felt a little unbelievable.

What made her feel a little relieved was that Keqing did not tell anyone about her and Shao Yun.

Ningguang thought, it’s a good thing that Keqing didn’t reveal this matter.

But even if she said it, it wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, no one dares to be the second 'Mao Cai Gong' now, and no one would be stupid enough to touch Ningguang who is at the peak of her powers.

Especially now, the relationship between him and Shao Yun has returned to its previous state, and he can continue to take advantage of the power of others.

……

However, Ningguang still felt a vague sense of unease in her heart.

Keqing's self-reflection was not just a superficial admission of guilt, but also a clear signal that she wanted to go against him.

"So, Keqing is really going to go against me?" As she said that, she casually threw the report in her hand, which was still wet with ink, on the desk.

Ye Lan touched his chin and proposed a novel idea, a way to further consolidate Ningguang's power.

"I think you can use Keqing's behavior to find those potential enemies lurking around and eliminate them."

Then, Ye Lan further elaborated in detail on the many benefits of his "luring the snake out of its hole" plan.

"In this way, you will be able to completely control Liyue."

"By then, you will not only be able to shake off the stigma placed upon you by Mr. Shao Yun, but you will also be able to truly become the ruler of Liyue."

Ningguang's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. Was it possible to escape the stigma and truly become the ruler of Liyue?

This mark will follow me for the rest of my life!

Then, Ningguang calmed down and thought carefully, and found that this brand had indeed brought her unprecedented status and wealth.

It seems that he is not so eager to get rid of the label of Mr. Shao Yun.

"Do you really think that I want to get rid of Mr. Shao Yun's stigma?"

Seeing Ningguang seemingly unwilling to break free from Shao Yun's stigma, Ye Lan asked, "Isn't freedom good? If you're just trying to bully others, you'll eventually be exposed, right?"

Ningguang tilted her head slightly, her palms resting against her burning cheeks.

"Me..." She laughed softly, her voice like the night mixed with honey, seeping out from between her lips.

"Originally trapped on the throne of power, he was suffocated by the chains constructed by Mora."

Then, Ningguang's fingertips slid down her cheek, like tracing an invisible emblem, and finally stopped at the side of her neck.

"Shao Yun talked to me a few days ago, and I regained my confidence and willingly returned to sit on the throne."

Ningguang tilted her neck slightly, as if offering her most fragile throat to invisible sharp teeth.

"As long as the master still needs this body and this heart..." As she spoke, the tip of her tongue lightly brushed the corner of her lips, leaving a little moisture.

“No matter how heavy the chains, no matter how sharp the thorns, I can still wrap them tighter with a smile.”

Ye Lan felt a little ashamed when she saw Ningguang, who had completely "enslaved herself" to Shao Yun.

At the same time, I couldn't help but worry about myself.

After all, if Shao Yun was really the kind of person who accepted all women, then with his strength, he would probably have been pregnant with his second child a long time ago!

When she thought of this, Ye Lan suddenly felt a chill and got goose bumps all over her body.

After all, Ye Lan felt towards Shao Yun as an excellent partner.

It's okay to tease each other normally, but it feels awkward to take it a step further... Even though they have the ability to use force...

Thinking of this, Ye Lan quickly shook her head, driving this terrible thought out of her mind, and then quickly changed the subject and said to Ningguang:

"Forget it. I have no interest in Liyue's political affairs."

"I'm just an intelligence officer. If you need anything from me, just ask."

Ningguang nodded and issued the task directly.

"Well, please help me keep an eye on Keqing's movements and Mr. Shao Yun's actions. Remember, be discreet and don't be too deliberate."

Ye Lan could understand why Ningguang asked her to monitor Shao Yun. After all, you treated him as your master, so it was understandable that you paid more attention to him.

However, if she is asked to monitor Keqing, maybe there is something unknown to her.

"You're not asking me to get rid of Yuhengxing, are you? That's a bit too much..."

Ningguang shook her head. She hadn't yet made up her mind to get rid of Keqing. She said wistfully, "Keqing and I were once colleagues. I really can't bear it..."

"The best strategy is to attack the enemy's heart. I still hope Keqing can calm down a bit."

When Ye Lan heard that Ningguang's words actually revealed her intention to kill Keqing, her heart suddenly tightened.

His originally lively eyes suddenly became solemn as he thought about how to deal with this situation.

After a while, Ye Lan pleaded for Keqing, "Since Keqing had begged Mr. Shao Yun to save her from the dire situation, please be merciful and give her a chance to live."

"And, with all due respect, Ningguang, what you did this time was indeed a bit excessive."

"Seventy percent of Liyue's industries are in your hands, aren't you afraid of your belly bursting?"

Ningguang's eyes rolled when she heard this. She didn't directly answer Ye Lan's question, but instead asked, "So, do you think I'm a power-hungry person?"

Ye Lan's expression became a little strange at this question, and she hesitated for a moment before answering:

"Isn't it? For the sake of power, you can even use yourself as a piece of meat to cater to Mr. Shao Yun in exchange for his support."

After hearing what Ye Lan said, Ningguang was not angry, but instead showed a faint smile.

She gently stroked her body and admitted with an intoxicated look on her face:

"Yes, I am such a woman who will do anything to achieve my goal."

"Of course, sex trafficking is just one of the many methods I use. However, now only Mr. Shao Yun is worthy of it."

When Ye Lan heard Ning Guang was about to do something stupid with Shao Yun about a relationship, she quickly reminded him, "Don't do anything stupid with Mr. Shao Yun!"

"If you piss off Mr. Shao Yun again this time, no one can save you!"

Hearing this, Ningguang raised her neck, then she extended her pink tongue and gently licked her cherry-like lower lip, as if licking the fingerprints that her owner might have left.

Ye Lan couldn't bear to look at that well-behaved and flattering look.

Ningguang put her ten fingers together, palms facing down, and pressed her wrists slightly.

"In front of Shao Yun, I'm just a little puppy."

She also deliberately made her voice soft and gentle, and her body swayed slightly, as if there really was an invisible tail acting coquettishly in her skirt.

"If he is willing to use me..." Ningguang gently bit a strand of her hanging hair with the tip of her white teeth, and then slowly pulled it out.

At the same time, her voice became sticky, like melted honey, which made people feel amorous.

"It would be my honor..."

Ye Lan looked at Ning Guang's shameless behavior and felt a chill running down her spine. She couldn't help but complain:

"Aren't you afraid that your shameless behavior will make Mr. Shao Yun angry and kill you?"

After hearing this, Ningguang's face showed a look of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. She said softly:

"Isn't that better? I can finally escape this endless pain and torture and die directly. It would be a relief, wouldn't it?"

Ye Lan looked at Ningguang, who was no longer afraid of death, and felt that this world was crazy.

In the past, when Ningguang first met Shao Yun, she was able to compete with him in terms of momentum.

But now, she has become so humble.

"Do you really consider yourself Mr. Shao Yun's slave?" Ye Lan couldn't help asking, "I remember that back then, you wanted to use Shao Yun to consolidate your own position!"

Ningguang profoundly expounded a truth about human desires.

"Aren't humans also slaves to money?"

"If I become a slave, I can exchange it for a lifetime of wealth and glory, as well as the coveted power to cover the sky with one hand..."

Ningguang paused for a moment, then extended a finger, gently pointing at her snow-white neck. With a charming smile, she continued:

"I think most people would put a collar around their neck without hesitation."

"Such a temptation is truly too great. Who can resist it? And I am no exception!"

Ye Lan couldn't refute it. To be fair, if she were Ning Guang, she wouldn't necessarily be able to refuse...
