Chapter 292

"Cough, cough!"

Lady Keqing gave a dry cough, then rose from the sofa without a flicker of expression.

After straightening her posture, she was once again the capable, efficient Star of the Lithic Spear she had been before.

"Miss Xiangling, I didn't expect to find you here reading manga too?"

Lady Keqing said with a faint smile.

As if the girl sprawled across the sofa a moment ago had never been her at all.

Eula saw this and silently admired her in her heart.

Truly worthy of the Star of the Lithic Spear!

That composure of hers was truly remarkable!

If it had been her, or Amber, caught in such a situation,

either the atmosphere on the spot would have turned awkward, or she would have fled the place outright.

At most tossing out a parting line to hold a grudge.

She absolutely could not have managed Lady Keqing's calm.

"Yes, Lady Keqing, Hearing Yanfei and I came here together yesterday.

She had just returned to Liyue a little while ago, meaning to report to you about the manga shop, only to find you right here…"

At this point, Miss Xiangling felt a bit of sympathy for Hearing Yanfei.

The very superior she was about to report to had turned out to be in Mondstadt all along.

It was practically a wasted trip.

"Such a long journey from Mondstadt back to Liyue—Hearing Yanfei has had a hard time of it."

Lady Keqing sighed.

She knew Hearing Yanfei must have sensed the miraculous effects of the manga shop.

And so wanted to bring that news back to report to her.

It was just that this made things rather hard on Hearing Yanfei.

"No need to worry, Lady Keqing."

Miss Xiangling said with a smile, "She has a bamboo dragonfly, so she should be back very soon."

"A bamboo dragonfly?"

Lady Keqing was a little curious.

It seemed she had never heard of such a thing.

Could it have some miraculous effect?

"It's a flying prop that Hearing Yanfei drew from Boss Han's manga shop last night. Top speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and it can keep going for 8 hours straight!"

When it came to this, Miss Xiangling was full of enthusiasm.

As if the one who had gotten the bamboo dragonfly were herself.

"Such a miraculous prop exists?!"

A flicker of surprise crossed Lady Keqing's face.

80 kilometers per hour!

Able to last 8 hours!

Then wouldn't Hearing Yanfei be able to make a round trip from Mondstadt to Liyue in a single day?

And if this prop could be issued to the Millelith, their mobility would be vastly improved.

After that, whether it was disaster relief or catching criminals, efficiency would see a tremendous boost!

As a Liyee high official, Lady Keqing's thoughts were clearly the same as Eula's.

"Then what reward did you get~~?"

Lady Keqing asked with a smile, pressing on.

"I got a recipe for a dish that glows. Once I'm back in Liyue, you're welcome to come taste it."

Miss Xiangling kept her in suspense a moment.

"A dish that glows?"

Now Lady Keqing was truly interested.

Such a miraculous dish could exist?

Seeing Lady Keqing's interest in the manga shop, Miss Xiangling poured out everything she knew.

Including those miraculous rewards she had seen the night before.

"Hiss!"

Hearing Miss Xiangling's words, Lady Keqing drew in a sharp breath.

What kind of rewards were these?

A mysterious medicine that could make a person young again!

Hairs that could transform into anything!

And Hearing Yanfei's miraculous bamboo dragonfly!

Now Lady Keqing understood the importance of the manga shop!

What the maid had said—about reading manga earning rewards—was true!

"Such a miraculous shop actually exists in this world?!"

A flash of shock passed through Lady Keqing's eyes.

She knew very well what changes such a shop would bring to the entire continent of Teyvat.

It would absolutely attract the pursuit of the common people and all manner of factions.

Because here,

you don't need to fight and kill others!

You don't need to train hard either!

You don't even need to receive the favor of the gods and obtain a Vision.

You only need Mora!

Add a little bit of luck, and you can obtain miraculous and powerful strength!

In plain terms, just spend money to get stronger!

Who wouldn't like a method like this?

"I wonder what kind of person the boss behind this shop, that black-haired youth, actually is?!"

Lady Keqing's expression grew somewhat solemn.

An immortal?

An ancient demon god?

Or perhaps some other powerful figure?

She knew nothing about any of it.

The only thing she knew was that the two of them could not afford to offend the boss of this shop.

Although Han Feng had not yet said a single word to Lady Keqing, he had already stirred a deep awe within her.

While Lady Keqing was thinking, Miss Xiangling asked curiously at this point.

"Lady Keqing, my lord, did you come here for this manga shop?"

Hearing these words, Lady Keqing smiled bitterly, shook her head, and said.

"No, I came over through a teleportation from Liyue."

As she spoke, she recounted how she had discovered the Jieyou Bookstore from Liyue and then made her way here.

"Hiss! You can actually come directly from Liyue to Mondstadt?!"

Miss Xiangling heard this news and was so astonished her jaw nearly dropped.

What immense power would it take to accomplish that!

Just as Eula said, Boss Han is a person whose depths cannot be fathomed!

But this is good news.

If one can come directly from Liyue, then in the future going to Liyue there will be no worry about running out of manga to read.

"It seems Boss Han has already opened the manga shop in Liyue."

Eula understood at once.
