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

On this point, even Ningguang feels inferior.

Now that the two have a good relationship and can be considered like-minded friends, Ningguang also hopes that Keqing can live happily.

"This..." Keqing was stunned upon hearing this. It seemed Ningguang had a point.

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

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

Keqing was instantly embarrassed. Indeed, the position of Yuheng Star is unattainable for others, but for Mu Yang, it might just be nothing.

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

Just now, Mu Yang is the consort of the Raiden Shogun. Isn't this status higher than that of the Qixing?

"So, are you trying to say that it's impossible for Mu Yang and me?" Keqing felt aggrieved. Whose side is Ningguang on, anyway?

Clearly, she is the one being wronged; why is Ningguang coming here to belittle her now?

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

"would have the time to accompany you shopping, accompany you to imagine the future, and even accompany you to work late at night?"

Honestly, when Ningguang learned that Keqing would find Mu Yang to chat late at night, and the content would be Keqing's work—Keqing actually asked Mu Yang about the feasibility of those plans.

Ningguang expressed that Mu Yang not scolding her or blocking her at that time was truly true love.

"This..." Keqing's expression changed after hearing this. It seems that really is the case.

He has me in his heart.

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

But work is my whole life.

The workaholic Keqing expressed that she really wanted to refute this, but upon careful thought, it seemed that was indeed the case.

Every time she wanted to talk about work with Mu Yang, although the other party respected her and would patiently listen to her, he seemed truly helpless.

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

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

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

"After all, we have already seen plenty of people with multiple wives and concubines, haven't we?" Ningguang continued.

Keqing fell silent again after hearing this, but she was still somewhat unwilling. Clearly, I was the one who came first.

And why say I'm not suitable for marriage?

Fine, she is indeed not suitable for staying home and raising children, but Mu Yang's attitude made her very depressed. She decided that nothing less than ten servings of Golden Shrimp Balls could appease her.

In her heart, Keqing didn't mind sharing a man with other women; after all, she was used to seeing such things.

Liyue has no rule of monogamy.

Even her father has three wives.

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

Finding a few wives is acceptable, and besides, Liyue's laws cannot reach Mu Yang.

It's just that, clearly, I was the one who came first!

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

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

This is also Keqing's practice; she hates those middlemen who get something for nothing and often take more than half the profits.

By what right do they do that?

After Keqing became Yuheng Star, she cracked down on many such black-market middlemen. Nowadays, the situation in Liyue has improved a lot, and the wages of the working class have also increased significantly.

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

"She must be someone trusted by the Raiden Shogun. Moreover, she has a very good reputation in Inazuma; she previously took out her family's assets to buy food to subsidize the commoners. This person shouldn't have any problems."

Hearing Ningguang's words, Keqing initially wanted to argue a few points, as she didn't have any good feelings toward the Raiden Shogun. Damn it, don't think that just because you are the Raiden Shogun, I'm afraid of you.

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

Ever since she started practicing the cultivation technique Mu Yang just released, Keqing felt that she had improved in all aspects. For this reason, she even went to ask Madame Ping.

From Madame Ping's words, she had indeed embarked on the immortal path and was evolving toward the path of an adeptus.

Sigh, in the end, she still became the person she once hated the most.

The cat-head girl sighed.

Keqing also hopes that Mu Yang can release the subsequent techniques. If there is a cultivation method for the Archon level, Keqing expresses that she is not incapable of competing with the Raiden Shogun.

As for the Raiden Shogun's judgment of people, Keqing is very disdainful. The messy affairs of Inazuma have now spread to Liyue.

At least in Keqing's view, it is absolutely impossible for their Geo Archon to reach the level of being kept in the dark like the Raiden Shogun.

This is the irresponsibility of a god, and there is an inescapable responsibility.

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

Although their Liyue doesn't have this trend, the previous Qixing and Eight Sects actually had problems to a greater or lesser extent.

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

Those guys are simply the scum of humanity.

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

The Geo Archon is still the best!

She, Keqing, firmly supports the rule of the Geo Archon.

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

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

This is a person worth befriending. If possible, after Kamisato Ayaka arrives in Liyue, she also needs to have a candlelit talk with her; perhaps they could become good friends.
