Chapter 349

Upon hearing Jiang Yan's question, Little Ningguang lowered her head and began counting carefully.

"Big Brother, there are ten more!"

Little Ningguang beamed with a smile and said to Jiang Yan.

"Mm, I'll take them all."

Jiang Yan was, after all, the highest ruler of the nation below the gods; let alone these few grilled fish, even if he said he wanted to buy Liyue Harbor, Morax would likely chuckle and hand over the Geo Gnosis to him directly.

That old rascal had wanted to do this more than once!

It was simply because one day, while wandering through Liyue, he had seen a boat owner speaking to a laborer under his command.

"You have fulfilled your duties; now, go and rest properly."

After that, this fellow had wanted to hand the Geo Gnosis to Jiang Yan more than once upon returning.

After all, Liyue had always been managed under Jiang Yan's hand; in terms of governing, talent, or martial prowess, Jiang Yan was an excellent choice.

After hearing Morax's reasoning, Jiang Yan was so angry he rolled his eyes.

You damn fool, ask yourself honestly: in the thousands of years since Liyue was established, besides proving every year in front of the common people that you are still alive, what else have you done?!

Damn it, Liyue has been under my management from start to finish; what duties have you fulfilled?

It made Jiang Yan so angry he couldn't eat for three days.

So, for Jiang Yan, buying all these grilled fish was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

But for Little Ningguang, it could relieve the pressure on her entire family!

Indeed, upon hearing Jiang Yan's words, Little Ningguang widened her eyes and said joyfully:

"Big Brother, are you telling the truth?"

"But... you can't eat all of these..."

"If these grilled fish are left overnight, they will spoil!"

Little Ningguang's tone carried a hint of doubt.

That worried little expression utterly melted Jiang Yan's heart.

Wow! So cute!

If I were to raise her...

【Ding! Host, please stop those evil and criminal thoughts in your heart; the laws of Liyue were personally drafted by you!】

Even the system couldn't bear to watch this fellow's inner activities.

Three years minimum, up to the death penalty!

"Ahem..."

Jiang Yan, whose thoughts had been interrupted by the system, coughed violently.

Yes, such thoughts should be abandoned.

Not to mention others, even Little Ganyu would kill me.

"Hehe, don't worry; Big Brother has no need to deceive a child."

Jiang Yan said to Little Ningguang with a smile:

"Your grilled fish are delicious; I'll take them home for my family to try as well."

Little Ningguang looked at Jiang Yan; she truly felt this Big Brother was different from other merchants.

She had tasted her own grilled fish; they couldn't really be called delicious.

... 0.......

Instantly, Little Ningguang's impression of Jiang Yan grew better and better.

Because in the two days she had been selling at the harbor, he was the gentlest Big Brother she had ever met!

"Alright! Here are ten grilled fish, six hundred Mora each."

Little Ningguang counted on her fingers, then said to Jiang Yan with a smile:

"I'll give you a discount; just give me five thousand Mora."

Jiang Yan nodded, took out a bulging bag of Mora from his robes, and handed it to Little Ningguang.

"Here is ten thousand Mora; no need for change."

Little Ningguang froze, took the bulging money bag, and looked utterly at a loss.

"No, no! That's too much!"

"Five thousand Mora is enough; I cannot take more!"

Little Ningguang tugged at Jiang Yan's sleeve, her eyes filled with seriousness.

Although this ten thousand Mora could provide nearly a month of food and warmth for her family, she remained unmoved by it.

What does not belong to her, even if held, would feel scalding hot.

"Hehe, it's fine; consider the extra money as a deposit from me!"

Jiang Yan stood up and smiled as he ruffled Little Ningguang's hair.

"Tomorrow afternoon, at this same spot, you need to deliver something worth ten thousand Mora to me."

"It can be anything, as long as you can bring me something with a value of ten thousand Mora."

"When you deliver the goods tomorrow afternoon, I will give you the remaining money at once."

Indeed, from this moment on, Jiang Yan had already harbored the idea of cultivating Little Ningguang.
