Chapter 419: Little Keqing Who Ran Away From Home (Please Subscribe!!)

~5 min read 948 words

"It's fine; I ran too fast and didn't see them."

Little Keqing shook her head, but her face still bore a trace of displeasure.

After all, this was the little dress she had just bought.

She hadn't even cherished it enough yet, and it got dirty.

Seeing Little Keqing's dejected look before him, Jiang Yan smiled.

What a cute little girl.

"Then, as an apology, I'll restore your clothes to their original state."

As Jiang Yan spoke, he placed his right hand on the spot where Little Keqing's dress was dirty.

The Time Gem suddenly flared.

A faint fluorescent green halo floated in Jiang Yan's hand; as he twisted his palm, Little Keqing's originally soaked dress turned back into its brand-new state.

If anyone else saw Jiang Yan doing this, they would surely be heartbroken.

You really deserve to die!

You're using the Time Gem's godlike, bug-like ability just for this?!

Little Keqing watched her little dress change from its soaked state back to brand-new, and her eyes immediately widened.

How amazing!

No wonder Grandpa often said my lord Tianquan is an immortal; it's truly true!

Even my little dress can become brand-new; Brother Jiang Yan is so powerful!

Children's ideas are always so simple.

Merely restoring her little dress to its original state made her conclude that Jiang Yan was indeed an immortal.

"Little Keqing, you ran out in such a hurry; did something happen?"

Jiang Yan asked Keqing with some confusion.

After all, Keqing had just said she ran too fast and didn't notice Little Ningguang and the others.

Upon hearing Jiang Yan's words, Keqing clearly panicked.

Her eyes darted away; she glanced around, then suddenly spoke in a low voice:

"Brother Jiang Yan, I'll tell you, but don't tell my grandpa."

Hearing Keqing's words, Jiang Yan paused for a moment.

Hmm?

I'm not even allowed to tell your grandpa?

What's so mysterious about it?

Jiang Yan immediately became interested.

"Oh? Tell me in detail; I promise not to tell your grandpa."

Keqing hesitated, then finally spoke in a low voice:

"I'm running away from home!"

Jiang Yan:???

Uh...

Jiang Yan immediately felt a mix of helplessness and amusement.

This little girl has quite a few strange ideas.

Running away from home?

Actually, on second thought, it's not impossible.

In the previous life's game, Keqing's backstory was introduced, stating that although Keqing is a young lady of wealth, she often goes out to explore, thereby tempering her will.

"Oh? Why does Little Keqing want to run away from home?"

Jiang Yan squatted down and asked gently.

The four little children beside Little Ningguang also looked curiously at Keqing.

"It's all because of my grandpa!"

"He says the world ahead is dangerous and won't let me go exploring!"

"He even wants to lock me up; hmph, no way!"

"I clearly did nothing wrong; why is he so opposed to it?"

Speaking of this matter, Keqing became somewhat indignant.

So it really is about going out to explore...

Jiang Yan smiled.

Fine; this indeed fits Little Keqing's nature.

"Why do you like going out to explore so much? Aren't you afraid of danger?"

Jiang Yan asked again.

"I'm not afraid at all; I'm very powerful!"

Little Keqing waved her little fist and said with a serious expression.

Seeing the little girl's innocent and charming look, Jiang Yan couldn't help but gently pat Little Keqing's little head again.

"Little Keqing is indeed brave, but you must also pay attention to safety when you're out."

As Jiang Yan spoke, he silently left a layer of spatial film on Little Keqing's body.

Although he said to pay attention to safety.

But no one could possibly feel at ease letting such a small child go out to explore.

The spatial film left by Jiang Yan belonged to a protective mechanism.

Once Little Keqing faced danger, it could function to protect her briefly.

And during the time the spatial film protected her, it would be enough for Jiang Yan to arrive.

After all, we cannot let Keqing's cry of "Brother Tianquan" go in vain, can we?

"Mm! Then Brother Jiang Yan, I'm leaving!"

"Please do not tell my grandfather; if my grandfather finds out, he will lock me up again."

Little Keqing spoke, then quickly ran toward the direction of the Liyue Harbor city exit.

Jiang Yan smiled and nodded, then watched Little Keqing depart.

Afterward, Jiang Yan took Little Ningguang and the four little girls and continued strolling through Liyue.

And Little Ningguang and the other two, who had just been enthusiastically stepping in puddles, were still stepping in puddles now, but before each step they carefully observed their surroundings.

Clearly, Keqing's incident had taught Little Ningguang and the other two a lesson.

Not long after walking, they saw a burly old man with Bai Fa anxiously searching the entire street for something.

The moment Jiang Yan saw the old man, he laughed.

Wasn't this Keqing's grandfather?

It seemed he already knew about Keqing running away from home.

And the old man soon arrived at Jiang Yan's side.

Upon seeing Jiang Yan, the old man hurried over and bowed deeply.

"Greetings, my lord Tianquan."

"May I ask if my lord Tianquan has seen my mischievous Sun Nu?"

The old man's face bore an anxious expression; after all, Keqing was so young, and as her grandfather, he was naturally extremely worried.

Jiang Yan did not hide anything and told the old man about his recent encounter with Keqing.

"This girl!"

Upon hearing that Keqing had already run out to explore, the old man was obviously (good, good) angered.

"Old Ke, if the little girl wants to go crazy, let her go crazy."
