Chapter 49

That place is actually very troublesome now.

The Raiden Shogun of Inazuma issued a Sakoku Decree, and the outer sea has extremely dangerous thunderstorms and lightning, making it very difficult for ordinary people to go there.

Even if you can contact the local International Trade Association, your living situation will still be very bad.

The Kanjou Commission’s inspectors there, who are responsible for handling [residency procedures], will directly try to squeeze your oil and water when they see you are a foreigner.

For example, the fee for handling residency procedures is a lion’s opening of one million Mora per person or something.

Actually, this is just simply bullying outsiders.

In fact, if this were changed to a local person helping, it might be solved with tens of thousands of Mora, or even hundreds of Mora.

You know how much room for operation and oil and water there is, how outrageous it is.

Not to mention other aspects.

Just from the matter of handling fees, one can see a glimpse of it.

That place, Ye Ruo really shakes his head.

The shut-in otaku Raiden Ei.

Perhaps the Seven Archons that ordinary people think of are all wise and martial, with very tall images, full of holiness and inviolability.

In fact, it’s not that exaggerated.

In Ye Ruo’s eyes, it is actually like this.

Anemo Archon: Drunkard

Geo Archon: Loafer

Electro Archon: Shut-in

Dendro Archon: Little melon

Hydro Archon: Lackey

Pyro Archon: War maniac

Cryo Archon: Human trafficker

Isn't it very contrasting?

Ahem, just a joke.

But it must be admitted that these gods do have the above characteristics.

So, those merchants who want to go to Inazuma to earn more Mora, it depends on them.

By the way, consider it as exploring the way.

After all, selling things across countries is really profitable.

For example, dandelions that can be seen everywhere in Mondstadt, if you have hands, you can easily get a large quantity.

But shipping them to Inazuma to sell.

5 dandelions can sell for 300,000 Mora!

The most outrageous thing is.

There are actually suckers who buy them.

You know how profitable it is.

Whether they can seize the opportunity depends on themselves.

And Ye Ruo intends to go to Liyue.

Some clerks have already gone, and several new bookstore branches are actually already in the process of site selection and decoration, and will soon be open for business.

He is going over to see how it is.

These branches are like dandelion seeds, which will eventually be scattered in every corner of the world.

Liyue is a new beginning.

Thus, Ye Ruo’s figure disappeared from here.

Liyue.

This is a country that walks with gods.

As one of the seven nations in the mortal world, people here believe in [Geo].

They possess the most prosperous and wealthiest port in all of Teyvat.

And the place where the unified currency Mora is manufactured—the Golden House.

Here at the port.

Every day there are a large number of cargo ships from various countries coming and going, with amazing throughput, countless goods coming in and out, bringing amazing wealth.

So there is also an open saying.

Liyue is the place where all wealth settles.

And the god of Liyue is the one they call the god of “contracts,” the Geo Archon, Morax.

Of course, what the people of Liyue call more is—Rex Lapis.

And under Rex Lapis, those who manage every aspect of Liyue are the Liyue the Liyue Qixing.

It’s just that today, the Tianquan of the the Liyue Qixing has a guest.

Among the the Liyue Qixing, Tianquan is the most respected!

And the Tianquan of this generation is named Ningguang.

She understands people’s hearts and is good at rhetoric.

She controls most of the secrets in Liyue Harbor, and her status is quite noble.

Every word and action can cause huge movements.

When she handles commercial affairs, after having the optimal plan.

She will crush the original information and throw it out the window to form a [broken snow].

These small pieces of paper, small scraps.

In the eyes of all merchants in Liyue, they are priceless treasures, which will easily cause people to scramble for them.

Once you can grasp a little information.

You can seize the opportunity and obtain a large amount of wealth!

The business world will also inevitably usher in earth-shaking changes.

Ningguang.

Is such a person with great influence.

And the place where she lives.

Is a gorgeous pavilion built in the sky after spending a huge amount of wealth to collect a lot of floating stones.

The flying palace—"Jade Chamber".

At this time, Ningguang.

Is sitting here at the tea table.

Holding a teacup, she took a graceful sip, and then put it down calmly.

Then looking at the young man who suddenly came here, she smiled meaningfully.

“It’s really rare, so you still remember me, this old friend?”

“It seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time; I thought you had been staying in Mondstadt and didn't want to come out.”

The man opposite Ningguang is Ye Ruo, who has come to Liyue.

The old friend he mentioned before is naturally Ningguang.

If we talk about the first time they met, it can even be traced back many years ago.

Ye Ruo had been to Liyue before.

He knew very well that the poor girl selling fruit on the street at that time would be able to become a member of the Liyue the Liyue Qixing in the future.

So Ye Ruo invested in her at that time.

Even though Ye Ruo was not old at that time.

At that time, it made Ningguang very surprised.

She couldn't understand at all why there was such a strange guy who came to find her and gave her Mora.

The most critical thing is.

Ye Ruo also looked younger than her.

Making her both angry and amused.

What’s the situation? Was she kept by some young master from somewhere?

At that time, many interesting things happened between the two of them.

However, in the end, they were able to understand each other and became very good friends.

Ningguang also accepted Ye Ruo’s investment, and the business began to grow bigger and bigger.

It’s just that such time didn't last long, and this guy Ye Ruo disappeared mysteriously.

He didn't come to see her much.

Later, Ningguang’s business and commercial aspects rose very quickly, and she became the Tianquan of the Liyue the Liyue Qixing.

Possessing amazing wealth and connections, she also had powerful helpers and an intelligence network under her.

Then she began to investigate Ye Ruo’s whereabouts.

Finally, she knew everything.

It turned out that Ye Ruo left without saying goodbye because he himself was in trouble.

This guy came from Mondstadt.

As a member of the Knights of Favonius, he was a disciple of Varka and had a bright future.

It’s just that a Fatui Harbinger came from Snezhnaya, which is the Doctor.

Then the two of them started to clash.

Various means were used to clash.

Perhaps the Doctor brought a strong threat to Ye Ruo, or perhaps Ye Ruo did it so as not to affect Ningguang, who hadn't risen yet.

So he chose not to come to her again.

This reason made Ningguang sigh.

Then her subordinate Yelan even intercepted a message transmission route of the Fatui and obtained a lot of important information.

She also discovered that Ye Ruo was actually not from Mondstadt.

He was from Snezhnaya.

It made Ningguang speechless; this guy Ye Ruo really knows how to play.

Running everywhere, right?

Running from Snezhnaya to Mondstadt, and from Mondstadt to Liyue to invest in her.

Does he think that highly of her?

However, when she saw that the Doctor couldn't do anything to this guy and later left Mondstadt to return to Snezhnaya.

Ningguang finally relaxed in her heart.

The stone finally landed.

As expected, this scourge is not so easy to get into trouble.

It’s just that it’s been so long, and this guy finally ran over again.

He wouldn't have something he wants to ask her for help with, right?

Hmph.

Now she is the Liyue the Liyue Qixing, no longer that yellow-haired girl.

Although this guy has also grown a lot, she almost didn't recognize him.

After all, there is a saying that if there is nothing to do, one doesn't go to the Jade Chamber.

However, just as Ningguang was judging, and a large number of thoughts and reflections extended in her heart.

Ye Ruo blinked his eyes.

“Actually, I came to see you on the way this time, after all, we haven't seen each other for so many years.”

“Of course, you shouldn't have any dark thoughts that this guy must be looking for your help, and whether to deliberately hang on.”

“Not necessarily, after all, we are very good friends.”

“Yes, indeed very good.”

Ningguang nodded expressionlessly and took over this sentence.

“At that time, you even took pleasure in teasing me; even though I was older than you, you relied on having an Anemo Vision to tease me.”

“That feeling of bullying big sister, it feels great, right.”

“It makes me remember it deeply even now. Tell me, should I find a way to get back at you now?”

Being stared at by Ningguang like this, if someone else came, they would probably be scared into a cold sweat.

After all, her status is noble now.

And she has long since cultivated an invisible aura of power and high position.

Can give people great pressure.

However, Ye Ruo was surprised.

“Can you blame me for this?”

“It’s clear that you were very vigilant at that time, always wanting to shake me off, and then you couldn't shake me off no matter what.”

“Then I suddenly appeared, and you showed a look like you were about to be scared to tears.”

“But later we still reconciled, became friends, and I even helped you teach other unscrupulous merchants a lesson.”

Hearing this, Ningguang’s face turned black.

Although she has grown into a strange woman who doesn't show her emotions and has quite a bit of city government.

But being exposed by someone, or a friend from the past, about her dark history.

She will still feel ashamed in her heart.

However, hearing the sentence about teaching the unscrupulous merchants a lesson later made her heart feel a lot of warmth.

Recalling a lot of past events.

This guy is really still so annoying.

Even though he bullied her more than once, he always interprets the facts in a serious way.

Forget it, considering so many years have passed.

She won’t argue with him.

So Ningguang looked at him thoughtfully.

“The Fatui’s affairs are not easy to solve, why don’t you come to my Liyue, at least here, they don’t dare to be too presumptuous.”

“And if I have someone as excellent as you by my side, I can also be much more at ease.”

“Liyue, which is guarded by Rex Lapis, even if it is the Fatui, they only sent an eleventh seat, the weakest Harbinger, to put on a show.”
