Chapter 570

At that time, the two countries will hold one final match.

Absolutely thrilling!

If organized well, poker cards will spread instantly.

"But then the preparations will multiply—we must plan carefully."

Lady Ningguang thought to herself.

Chapter 280: Ying: Paimon is right—the joy of pleasing Boss Han is beyond imagination! Boss Han, I don't want to work anymore.

After securing the poker license, Lady Ningguang felt completely at ease.

Now everything was ready, waiting only for her to act.

But since this event involved two nations, she couldn't manage it alone,

she needed someone to help her.

Thinking of this, Lady Ningguang's gaze turned to the purple cat in Han Feng's arms.

"Could this thing have gotten addicted to being petted as a cat?"

Watching Keqing, who had been nestled in Han Feng's arms since entering,

Lady Ningguang's lips twitched.

She had intended this as a thank-you to Boss Han,

but now it seemed Keqing was the one enjoying herself…

Thinking of this, Lady Ningguang walked to the counter and said with playful sarcasm.

"My Young Lady Keqing, are you planning to stay here forever?"

Seeing the deep amusement on Lady Ningguang's face, the purple cat suddenly realized.

She had grown so accustomed to this form,

she nearly forgot she was the Star of Tiansheng.

Thinking of this, she felt a sudden pang of embarrassment.

So, reluctantly, she left Han Feng's arms and jumped to the floor.

Hiss!

A puff of smoke appeared,

the adorable purple cat vanished,

and Keqing, with her cat-873-cat-hair hairstyle, reappeared in the manga shop.

"Whoa! So that purple cat was Young Lady Keqing?!"

Witnessing this transformation, the three secretaries—Baixiao, Baishi, and Baiwen—stared in shock.

Just moments ago, they had wondered why they saw only Lady Ningguang and not Young Lady Keqing.

At first, they thought Keqing had left early.

They never imagined she had turned into a purple cat.

Recalling how lazily she had lounged in Boss Han's arms, they still couldn't believe it.

"Back to normal? I thought you didn't want to come back."

Looking at Keqing restored to human form, Lady Ningguang said dryly.

"W-Where did you get that idea?"

Keqing's cheeks flushed slightly,

but remembering Lady Ningguang's earlier behavior, she snorted twice.

"Don't blame me—you were the one obsessed with playing cards too."

As the Star of Tianquan, you neglect your duties and come here to play cards?

We're all the same—no one gets to judge anyone else."

"Cough, cough, let's just go back—we still have matters to attend to."

Hearing Keqing directly expose the truth, Lady Ningguang felt a twinge of embarrassment.

She laughed it off and left immediately.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Seeing Lady Ningguang walk off, Keqing called out from behind.

But before chasing after her, she involuntarily glanced back at Han Feng.

She found Boss Han smiling at her.

His lips seemed to be moving.

"Thank you for your way of showing gratitude—I really liked it. Welcome back anytime!"

"Come back again?"

Keqing froze, stunned.

Did he mean as a guest next time… or did he want to keep petting her as a cat?

Thinking of the latter, her eyes grew hazy, a flicker of shyness passing through them as she looked at Han Feng.

If it's Boss Han… then it's fine.

She liked this feeling too.

She gave a slight nod, then hurried out.

"Whether as a purple cat or as Keqing, it's all fascinating."

Watching Keqing's flustered retreat, Han Feng's lips curved into a faint smile.

But if he had a choice, he still wanted to see the cat-eared Lady Keqing.

I wonder if there's any chance at all.

While Han Feng was thinking, Xiao Ying and Noel exchanged a glance,

then slowly approached Han Feng's side.

"Huh? What's wrong? Got crushed?"

Watching the two draw near, Han Feng teased.

Just a while ago, the two had been eager to play cards,

but had lost every last mora.

Now they were probably broke.

Hearing Han Boss's teasing, the two grew even more embarrassed.

Especially the young maid Noel.

As if she'd committed some sin, she kept her head down, not daring to look at Han Feng.

Finally, Xiao Ying gathered her courage.

"Hehe, Han Boss, we've lost all our money—we won't even have enough to buy comics after this.

So, uh, could you lend us some for now?"

"You want to borrow mora?"

Han Feng's expression turned peculiar.

"Don't worry! Once we enter the Landlord Tournament and win the championship, we'll pay you back double!"

Xiao Ying, thinking Han Feng doubted her ability to repay, quickly assured him.

"With Lady Ningguang involved, are you two really sure you can win?"

Han Feng smiled.

Though the Landlord Tournament's champion prize was ten million mora,

given Lady Ningguang's love for mora, she would never let someone else win so easily.

So she'd likely enter herself.

That way, she'd not only have a chance to win the money back, but also create a huge publicity stunt.

Think about it—the Tianquan Star of Liyue,

a woman so charming and fabulously wealthy that she entered the Landlord Tournament.

Tell me, wouldn't you be interested?

It's just like in her past life, when many games invited celebrities to play.

Pure celebrity effect.
