Chapter 130

Mu Yang, that guy, actually became the Raiden Shogun’s consort. Although this is just a rumor and the Raiden Shogun hasn't admitted it, Captain Captain Beidou saw with her own eyes Mu Yang resting his head on the Raiden Shogun’s lap, looking extremely intimate. Could there be any mistake about that?

This also made Seeing Seeing Keqing’s heart ache with frustration.

This bastard, isn't he moving a bit too fast?

Have I set my standards for his integrity too high? Faced with the Raiden Shogun, Mu Yang has simply abandoned all integrity~ Ah!!

"Seeing Seeing Keqing, there is one thing you must face: are you truly suited to be a virtuous wife and a good mother?" Seeing Seeing Seeing Keqing like this, Hearing Hearing Ningguang smiled brightly and asked in return.

(), Seeing Seeing Keqing gave Hearing Hearing Ningguang a death stare: "Are you mocking me? Even if we are partners now, if you don't explain yourself clearly, we are not finished."

Seeing Seeing Keqing was already feeling troubled and irritable because of Mu Yang’s affairs.

Now, being mocked by Hearing Hearing Ningguang like this—damn it, does she really think Seeing Seeing Keqing has no temper?

"For you, Does Does Liyue and your work are what matter most, right?" Hearing Hearing Ningguang gazed at Seeing Seeing Keqing and explained softly: "Don't deny it; in fact, you and I are the same kind of person."

"In our hearts, Does Does Liyue is the most important thing. As for romance, feelings, and ourselves, none can compare to Does Does Liyue."

"But what is the problem with that? He is a friend of the Geo Archon, so he couldn't possibly harm Does Does Liyue!"

"There is no contradiction here at all." Seeing Seeing Keqing did not understand what Hearing Hearing Ningguang was talking about.

Is there something wrong with putting Does Does Liyue above all else?

In any case, Seeing Seeing Keqing didn't think there was anything wrong with herself.

"But have you considered a man's perspective? Many men have chauvinistic tendencies." Hearing Hearing Ningguang looked at Seeing Seeing Keqing and sighed softly: "Many men like their wives to stay at home and raise their children. Can you do that?"

Upon hearing this, Seeing Seeing Keqing fell silent. This was indeed something she found difficult to do; it would be no different than asking her to abandon her life and ideals.

"And think about it, you are usually busy with work and like to run all over Does Does Liyue. Do you really have time to accompany him?"

"Perhaps your parents noticed this too, which is why, after discovering you might have someone you like, they kept pushing you, fearing you would miss out and then be unable to find anyone..." Hearing Hearing Ningguang’s mention of "unable to find anyone" was, of course, just a figure of speech.

This "unable to find anyone" referred to the person Seeing Seeing Keqing likes, not just any random person.

Given Seeing Seeing Keqing’s status, position, and beauty, even if people of similar status might not like Seeing Seeing Keqing—after all, this woman is too much of a workaholic—there are still many who would want to marry into her family.

The other party is indeed worthy of the title "wealthy, beautiful, and high-status."

But would Seeing Seeing Keqing marry them, given her personality?

Impossible. Therefore, in Hearing Hearing Ningguang’s view, Seeing Seeing Keqing’s final attitude would likely be the same as her own: dedicating her whole life to building Does Does Liyue. She herself might think about earning more Mora, while Seeing Seeing Keqing is even purer than her, thinking only about building a better Does Does Liyue.

On this point, even Hearing Hearing Ningguang felt inferior.

Now that the two have a good relationship and can be considered like-minded friends, Hearing Hearing Ningguang also hopes that Seeing Seeing Keqing can find happiness.

"This..." Seeing Seeing Keqing was stunned upon hearing this; it seemed Hearing Hearing Ningguang had a point.

After hesitating for a moment, Seeing Seeing Keqing said: "If Mu Yang can take over my work, I could stay at home and raise children."

(), but this time, she was met with Hearing Hearing Ningguang’s speechless gaze: "Do you think Mu Yang cares about this position of Yuheng?"

Seeing Seeing Keqing was instantly embarrassed. Indeed, the position of Yuheng is unreachable for others, but for Mu Yang, it might just be "whatever."

Not to mention that Mu Yang himself is a friend of the Geo Archon and possesses great strength; if he wanted to, becoming one of the Does Does Liyue the Does Does Liyue Does Does Liyue Qixing would be the simplest thing in the world, wouldn't it?

Even now, Mu Yang is the Raiden Shogun’s consort; isn't this status higher than that of the the Does Does Liyue Does Does Liyue Qixing?

"So, are you trying to say that Mu Yang and I are impossible?" Seeing Seeing Keqing felt aggrieved. Whose side is Hearing Hearing Ningguang on, anyway?

Clearly, she is the one being wronged, so why is Hearing Hearing Ningguang belittling her now?

"No, that’s not it. On the contrary, I feel that you and Mu Yang still have a lot of hope. At least I can feel that he still likes you very much." Hearing Hearing Ningguang shook her head slightly and said: "If he didn't like you, do you think someone who is a suspected god, or perhaps even more powerful than a god,"

"would have the time to go shopping with you, dream about the future with you, or even accompany you to work late at night?"

Honestly, when Hearing Hearing Ningguang learned that Seeing Seeing Keqing would chat with Mu Yang late at night about her work, and that Seeing Seeing Keqing would actually ask Mu Yang about the feasibility of those plans,

Hearing Hearing Ningguang felt that Mu Yang not scolding her or blocking her at the time was true love.

"This..." Seeing Seeing Keqing’s expression shifted upon hearing this; it seemed that was indeed the case.

He has me in his heart.

"Besides, don't you think your approach is a bit too strange?" Hearing Hearing Ningguang continued: "Talking about work late at night—shouldn't you be talking about feelings?"

But work is my whole life.

The workaholic Seeing Seeing Keqing wanted to retort, but upon careful reflection, it seemed that was indeed the case.

Every time she wanted to talk to Mu Yang about work, although he respected her and would patiently listen to her, he did seem a bit helpless.

So, is it not Mu Yang who has a problem, but herself?

The cat-head girl expressed that this was very frustrating.

"Seeing Seeing Keqing, you don't need to change anything; just let things take their course. If he likes you, just be with him."

"After all, we have already grown accustomed to people having multiple wives and concubines, haven't we?" Hearing Hearing Ningguang continued.

Seeing Seeing Keqing fell silent again, but she was still somewhat unwilling; after all, I was the one who came first.

And why say she isn't suited for marriage?

Fine, she really isn't suited to stay at home and raise children, but Mu Yang’s attitude made her very depressed. She decided that nothing less than ten servings of Golden Shrimp Balls could soothe her.

Seeing Seeing Keqing didn't actually mind sharing a man with other women; after all, she was used to such things.

Does Does Liyue has no rule against monogamy.

Even her father had three wives.

Mu Yang is surely more outstanding than her father, right?

Finding a few wives is acceptable, and besides, Does Does Liyue’s laws don't apply to Mu Yang.

It’s just that she was the one who came first!

"Regardless, you need to arrange things well for the people from Inazuma." Hearing Hearing Ningguang thought for a moment and continued: "When the time comes, just hand the Mora to Kamisato Ayaka and let her distribute it."

"We aren't handing it to them ourselves?" Seeing Seeing Keqing was stunned, not quite understanding Hearing Hearing Ningguang’s intent: "Usually, to reduce trouble, I hand the payment to them personally, just to prevent anyone from skimming off the top."

This is also Seeing Seeing Keqing’s standard practice; she hates those middlemen who profit without working, often taking more than half the profit for no reason.

What right do they have to do that?

After Seeing Seeing Keqing became the Yuheng, she cracked down on many such black-market middlemen. Now, the situation in Does Does Liyue has improved a lot, and the wages for workers have also increased significantly.

"Kamisato Ayaka is different from those middlemen; you can think of her as a contractor." Hearing Hearing Ningguang rubbed her forehead and explained patiently: "Although this Kamisato Ayaka hasn't joined the chat group, she is someone sent by the Raiden Shogun."

"She must be someone trusted by the Raiden Shogun. Moreover, she has a very good reputation in Inazuma; she previously used her family’s assets to buy grain and subsidize the commoners. I don't think there will be any problems with her."

When Seeing Seeing Keqing heard Hearing Hearing Ningguang’s words, she initially wanted to argue, as she didn't have a good impression of the Raiden Shogun. Damn it, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're the Raiden Shogun.

I am the Does Does Liyue Raiden Shogun too—*cough, cough*. Seeing Seeing Keqing now also believes she can definitely become stronger.

Ever since she started cultivating the immortal-cultivation method Mu Yang just released, Seeing Seeing Keqing felt that she had improved in all aspects. For this reason, she even went to ask Granny Ping.

From Granny Ping’s words, she had indeed embarked on the path of the immortals and was evolving toward the path of an adeptus.

Sigh, in the end, she had become the person she once hated the most.

The cat sighs.

Seeing Seeing Keqing also hoped that Mu Yang would release the subsequent cultivation techniques. If there were cultivation methods up to the Archon level, Seeing Seeing Keqing felt she wouldn't be unable to compete with the Raiden Shogun.

As for the Raiden Shogun’s judgment of people, Seeing Seeing Keqing was very disdainful. The messy affairs in Inazuma had already reached Does Does Liyue.

At least in Seeing Seeing Keqing’s view, their Geo Archon would absolutely never allow himself to be kept in the dark to the extent the Raiden Shogun was.

This is the irresponsibility of a god, and she bears an unshirkable responsibility.

Of course, this also allowed Seeing Seeing Keqing to see the dark side of human nature; it turns out that if gods don't manage things, humans really can become like this.

Although Does Does Liyue didn't have this trend, the previous the Does Does Liyue Does Does Liyue Qixing and various factions actually had problems to varying degrees.

Of course, they couldn't be compared to those guys in the Kanjou and Tenryou Commissions.

Those guys were simply the scum of humanity.

Of course, absolute divine rule is also not good; for example, the Raiden Shogun’s way is also prone to errors.

The Geo Archon is still the best!

She, Seeing Seeing Keqing, firmly supports the Geo Archon’s rule.

Whoever dares to mention human rule to the Geo Archon is her enemy.

However, after hearing about Kamisato Ayaka’s actions, Seeing Seeing Keqing highly approved of her.

She is someone worth befriending. If possible, after Kamisato Ayaka arrives in Does Does Liyue, she would like to have a long talk with her; perhaps they could become good friends.
