Chapter 318

~4 min read 704 words

I never expected to find Lady Keqing right here.

Especially since she's with Lady Ningguang now, seemingly headed somewhere.

"Perfect! Then I don't need to go to Yujing Terrace!"

Thinking this, Hearing Yanfei descended directly from the air and arrived before the two women.

"It's Hearing Yanfei? Back from Mondstadt?"

Lady Keqing showed no great surprise at seeing Hearing Yanfei, having already learned the news from Miss Xiangling.

She just didn't expect it to be this soon.

Clearly, that bamboo dragonfly is incredibly powerful!

Hearing Yanfei scratched her head, puzzled.

How did Lady Keqing know she had returned from Mondstadt?

But remembering her purpose, she quickly spoke up.

"Lady Keqing, I have an important matter to report."

She prepared to lay out everything about the manga shop.

"No need to say it—I already know."

Lady Keqing waved her hand.

Hearing Yanfei: (⊙_⊙)

I haven't even spoken yet?

How do you already know?

"You're trying to say, 'Lady Keqing, I discovered a mysterious manga shop in Mondstadt where reading manga grants rewards,' right?"

Lady Keqing wore a mysterious expression.

(⊙_⊙)

"Eh? How did Lady Keqing know that?"

Hearing Yanfei's face was filled with shock.

Lady Keqing actually knows about the manga shop?!

Has she already been there?

Hearing Yanfei's mind was full of confusion.

If that's the case, wasn't her trip here a waste?!

What a loss!

"Could I see that thing on your head?"

Lady Ningguang spoke softly at this moment.

The moment Hearing Yanfei landed, she noticed it immediately.

That must be the bamboo dragonfly Lady Keqing mentioned.

The divine artifact that let Hearing Yanfei return to Liyue in just hours!

She (acee) was extremely curious about it.

"Oh! Of course! But Lady Ningguang, please be careful."

Hearing Yanfei handed the bamboo dragonfly on her head to Lady Ningguang.

She had worked hard to pull this one.

If it broke, the money wouldn't matter much.

But she feared she'd never get another chance to pull it.

After all, the rewards are completely random.

"Don't worry."

Lady Ningguang smiled as she took the bamboo dragonfly and examined it.

It looked like a very simple item.

If one didn't know its function, one might even mistake it for a child's toy.

"That manga shop really is extraordinary."

Lady Ningguang sighed.

Such power from a tiny item—utterly incredible.

Her anticipation grew stronger by the moment.

After examining it, she returned the item to Hearing Yanfei.

The simpler it looks, the harder it is to replicate.

Lady Ningguang abandoned her earlier thoughts.

It could only be obtained from that manga shop.

"Absolutely! Both the manga shop and Boss Han are incredibly mysterious!"

"If you can imagine it, they can do it."

Hearing Yanfei smiled as she took back the bamboo dragonfly.

She had experienced all this firsthand.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have rushed back so urgently.

But she still didn't understand why Lady Keqing already knew.

The manga shop had only opened a few days ago, after all.

"Come with me—you'll find out soon."

Seeing the lingering confusion on Hearing Yanfei's face, Lady Keqing smiled and said.

There would be plenty for her to be surprised about later.

"Huh?"

Hearing Yanfei was a little puzzled.

With the matter settled, she still wanted to head back to Mondstadt to read manga.

But seeing the look on Lady Keqing's face, could it be that wherever they were going was something special?

Curiosity in her heart, Hearing Yanfei finally stayed.

Not long after, the group of six arrived at their destination.

Looking at the rather familiar shop, Hearing Yanfei was utterly shocked.

"It's actually the Worry-Free Bookstore?!"

So Liyue has this place too?

Has Boss Han opened a branch?

No wonder Lady Keqing knew about this.

But why had she never noticed it, nor heard of it?

"It only opened today; I happened to stumble upon it myself."

Lady Keqing explained, "Once you go in, you'll discover just how magical it is."

Saying so, she stepped into the manga shop first.

Lady Ningguang and the others exchanged a glance, then filed in one after another.

After Lady Keqing had spoken of it,

they had long been eager to experience this magical manga shop for themselves.

Now they finally had the chance!
