Chapter 542

At this moment, Lady Keqing's face was crimson.

She kept her head down, daring not to glance even once at Master Han behind the counter.

"The reward you mentioned… is Lady Keqing?"

Han Feng's expression turned peculiar.

Is this how Liyue expresses gratitude?

Or is this a special gift specially crafted for Master Han by Lady Ningguang and Lady Keqing?

"Yes and no—but not the kind you're imagining."

Lady Ningguang spoke in riddles.

"Oh?"

This only deepened Han Feng's curiosity.

At that moment, Lady Ningguang leaned close to Lady Keqing and whispered.

"I've already sent Baiwen and Watching Beidou away—it's all up to you now."

Lady Ningguang whispered.

"You came up with this idea? I'm remembering this grudge!"

Lady Keqing shot Lady Ningguang an irritated glance.

But since she'd already decided to come, she wouldn't turn back now.

Otherwise, she'd be treating Master Han with too little respect.

So she stirred her thoughts,

and activated her cat transformation ability.

Soon, Lady Keqing's human form began shrinking,

and in no time, a small, adorable purple cat appeared on the floor.

"Master Han, this is Lady Keqing's way of thanking you—what do you think?"

Lady Ningguang picked up the cat and placed her on the counter, smiling as she asked.

Yes, this was the gratitude Lady Ningguang had devised.

That earlier remark wasn't entirely a joke.

In their view,

someone of Master Han's status lacked nothing.

After all, he could grant such a miraculous reward—what could he possibly still lack?

So if they were to express their gratitude, it had to be something special.

Recalling how Master Han had rewarded Lady Keqing with the cat transformation ability,

Lady Ningguang guessed he might have a fondness for such things.

She had privately discussed this with Lady Keqing.

Upon hearing it, Lady Keqing had been shy, but ultimately agreed.

She didn't mind repaying Master Han this way.

Of course,

most importantly, Master Han was handsome and mysterious.

And Lady Keqing had a tiny bit of fondness for him.

Otherwise, if it had been some old, ugly man,

even death couldn't make Lady Keqing agree.

Like a young maiden saved in ancient times.

If the rescuer was a handsome hero,

naturally, she'd say: "I have no way to repay you—let me give myself to you."

But if the rescuer looked like a disgrace to the eyes,

then sorry,

she'd have to repay him in her next life as a horse or ox.

There was no help for it,

humans were simply simple visual creatures.

"` ¨Excellent—I am deeply pleased!"

After recovering his composure, Han Feng's lips curled into a faint smile.

Lady Ningguang really knew how to play!

She'd actually thought of this method!

Too bad her imagination still had limits.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have turned Lady Keqing into a cat—she should've made her a catgirl.

That would've been far more stimulating.

Still, a cat is fine too.

It'd be amusing to play with her when bored at the manga shop.

Thinking of this, Han Feng extended a finger and stroked the purple cat's chin.

Perhaps because of her transformation,

Lady Keqing had acquired feline habits.

Feeling Han Feng's finger stroke her chin, she immediately closed her eyes in pleasure.

As for shame?

Hmph, I lost it when I turned into a cat.

Besides,

The cat is the one enjoying it—what does that have to do with me, Lady Keqing, the Star of Tianheng?

Thinking of this, Lady Keqing settled comfortably into the pleasure.

"So adorable!"

Seeing this, Han Feng's interest deepened; he picked up the purple cat and began petting it.

"Hmph, women's words are lies!"

Watching Lady Keqing lie comfortably in Han Feng's arms, Lady Ningguang gave a graceful eye roll.

Earlier, when I tried to persuade her, it took so much effort.

And now look.

The moment she's in Han Feng's arms, she's lost all sense of direction.

Still,

Why is there a faint trace of envy in my heart?

Chapter 260: "Your Name!" Diona: This purple cat has no dignity at all—damn it, I want my ears rubbed too.

"Boss, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"

Watching the purple cat, unusually docile, snuggled in Han Feng's arms,

Noel also felt a deep sigh.

Only Han Feng could make the famed Lady Keqing, the Star of Tianheng, turn into a cat and let someone pet her.

No one else but Han Feng!

If this got out, it would shock the people of Liyue to their cores.

"By the way, isn't this Lady Keqing's thanks? I wonder, Lady Ningguang, the Star of Tianquan—do you have any thanks to offer?"

After playing with the purple cat in his arms for a while, Han Feng smiled toward Lady Ningguang.

"Of course, if the boss finds it convenient, you may come to my Qunyu Pavilion for a visit."

"Ningguang Society will treat you with full hospitality."

Lady Ningguang invited with a smile, then paused and added another line.

"Of course, if fortune favors us, you might even witness a fine spectacle."

"A fine spectacle…?"

Though Lady Ningguang spoke in riddles, Han Feng understood instantly.

The only spectacle worthy of being called such by Lady Ningguang could be none other than the upcoming Ba Che.
