Surprised? (cont.)

Do you think the Doctor is someone who can manage things very well?

Liu Bai asked a question in return.

Keqing was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, when it comes to professional skill, Keqing is absolutely superior to Mobius, but as a leader... sorry, Keqing sees absolutely no leadership talent in Mobius other than "assertiveness".

Sometimes it could even be described as willful.

"But then again, Gray Serpent wouldn't have come to me unless he really encountered something he couldn't handle."

After all, Liu Bai didn't ask Gray Serpent if he could be his father... Gray Serpent probably just came to ask for help in a normal way.

The gradual transfer of power, as seen in the cases of He Zhen and Ningguang, is entirely different.

"The World Serpent Network has been attacked by an unknown cyberattack... Silver Wolf, please handle this matter."

Liu Bai glanced at it and felt that Silver Wolf's "re-leveling" should be almost done. Now it would be perfect to find Silver Wolf a potential BOSS opponent.

"Then came Dusk Street..."

Dusk Street?

Wait a minute, isn't this Main Quest storyline?

Liu Bai paused for a moment, suppressing his mischievous urge to send Ying on the trip.

"This matter doesn't seem to be in a hurry. After things are settled here... I'll go there myself."

After a brief processing, Liu Bai began reviewing the documents that Keqing had previously approved.

They're all pretty good.

It's just that some of his personal matters show that he acts impulsively.

"... Liu Bai, why did you change the Kitsune Saiguu's document from 'rejected' to 'read'?" Dian placed his hand on Liu Bai's shoulder, his tone gentle.

"Truth or lie?"

"Listen to the lies first."

"I want to taste what a fox spirit tastes like."

"That sounds like the truth—but where is the truth?"

"I want to see your reaction... is it possible to play two..."

"Such truths are completely unnecessary—!"

Eden symbolically tightened his grip on Liu Bai's neck.

But I wasn't too angry.

After all, it's precisely because they care that they want to see their own reaction.

Since Keqing had reviewed all the documents, Liu Bai was able to process them quickly—most of Keqing's decisions were quite reasonable.

Of course, some documents were "kept in reserve and not issued" by Liu Bai.

For example, there was a proposal to offer a priestess as tribute, and another proposal from the Kitsune Saiguu...

Although it was rejected, it was not sent out.

Eden had no experience in this area, nor did he see which one Liu Bai had selected after reviewing the application.

Keqing saw it, but remained silent.

Thinking about it carefully, the more people around Liu Bai, the easier it would be for me to get in...

I never imagined that I would one day share a man with someone else...

Yes, Keqing has resigned herself to her fate after her defenses were breached.

She's a bit shameless, so what!

As long as I'm shameless, I'm invincible!

Although I feel like I'll pick it up again soon.

"Alright, that's all for today! Anyone want to stay overnight?"

Eden and Keqing remained silent.

"... I guess not."

Keqing chickened out again.

Eden simply pursed his lips.

Obviously, they didn't have that idea either.

"Oh, right! I haven't done my work yet!"

Keqing suddenly discovered something.

"Over there with Ningguang..."

"Ningguang is even planning to make me the Yuheng Star."

"... Huh?"

"It means exactly what it says," Bai replied, looking at Keqing, who seemed slightly dazed.

"..."

Keqing's mind raced for a moment.

Ningguang knew that she had been following Liu Bai.

Ningguang doesn't look for him after he disappears.

—I Ningguang doesn't think she abandoned her official post and eloped with Liu Bai!

"I... I'm going to find her!"

Keqing suddenly understood Ningguang's thought process.

It has to be said that this line of thinking is truly irrefutable.

Knock knock knock~

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Eden glanced at the time.

It's already nine o'clock— Liu Bai reviews the documents quickly, but these are things that Keqing has been reviewing for several hours and still hasn't finished.

That's why Liu Bai asked if anyone was staying overnight tonight.

It is indeed getting a little late.

"At this time..." Dian looked at Liu Bai with a mocking expression.

Is someone really going to come knocking?

Keqing, standing beside him, also looked suspicious, clearly thinking the same thing as Eden.

However, it wasn't as blatant as Eden's.

Keqing has the mentality of a mistress, while Eden has the mentality of a mistress.

"Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Liu Bai retorted instinctively.

Then, the Herrscher of Dominion tugged at Liu Bai's sleeve.

No, you know.

Why are you pulling on me, my lord?

"N-nothing."

The Herrscher of Dominion obediently bowed his head.

If she wasn't mistaken, Guinaifen should be arriving around this time.

—Liu Bai personally told her in the afternoon to tell Guinaifen to come over in the evening.

"I'll go open the door."

Eden smiled and walked out first.

Keqing, then decided to stay there.

"By the way, Keqing, how did things get to this point?"

Liu Bai, having nothing better to do, started chatting with Keqing.

"I... cough cough... I think you should be a little more careful about your charm."

Although she had already changed her mindset, Keqing was still too ashamed to talk about the cause of everything—even if she wanted to, she would wait until they were in bed together.

At least back then, if you said it while sucking on your lips, it might have been mistaken for flirting.

"... Don't make me sound like a succubus, okay?"

Liu Bai sighed.

To avoid becoming a succubus, Liu Bai didn't even bother to get the Enchanting Ring.

"You're almost done too," Keqing said, slightly jealous.

At that moment, Guinaifen's scream suddenly came from the doorway.

"Eh eh eh—!"

Let's push the timeline forward a little bit.

"... Shouldn't we be able to set off now?"

Guinaifen glanced at the time.

"Seriously, the Boss Liu actually said something like 'Come to my room tonight'..."

Guinaifen rolled around on the bed twice, wrapped in a blanket.

Ahhh! I wish I could hear my Boss Liu say it to me in person!

For example, gently lift your chin and say something like, "Little girl, suck..."

Cough cough.

Saying something like "Come to my room tonight" would be even more appealing.

How embarrassing!

Guinaifen covered her head and continued rolling.

Then, with a whoosh, the blanket was ripped off.

"In that case! Little Gui, I'm going to use my real skills—!"

Guinaifen took a deep breath.

"I absolutely have to make the Boss Liu Little Gui my charm!"

For regular wear...

In that case, the first thing to consider is clothing.

Liu Bai's favorite thing last time was her black stockings.

Yes, so wearing black stockings is definitely a must.

Then Liu Bai also really liked the texture of his gloves.

Put on gloves too.

Chest...

Hmm, Guinaifen felt that Liu Bai didn't really like her clothes that much.

But you still need to wear something, right?

... No, that's not right. Maybe I can give my Boss Liu a little surprise.
