Chapter 346
"Come and try the unique skill passed down for 50,000 years in Great Void Mountain, Taixu—"
As Heavenly Principles stood ready, the special effects on Anqi's hands continued to intensify. However, she hesitated to make a move, instead retreating further and further away.
"Despicable outsider!"
Heavenly Principles finally realized what was happening and, in a fit of rage, gave chase.
At this moment, Anqi's lips curled up, revealing a sly smile.
"Sword God!"
Anqi said in a very soft voice, and a magnificent sword aura shot out, instantly reaching Heavenly Principles in front of him.
"Boom!!!"
The Sword God pierced through Heavenly Principles's body.
Having exhausted herself, Anqi didn't intend to pursue, but instead took the opportunity to crash into the World Barrier. The energy she brought with her was at most the amount of a regular Herrscher, and she had already used up quite a bit of it; continuing to waste time would be risky.
First, go outside and request reinforcements from the Theater of Domination, then consider whether or not to seek revenge.
There's no compelling reason to persist; acting impulsively is unwise, and holding on is the only way to win.
Then, Tianli, whose body shone with light and whose Heavenly Principles was strong despite his disability, stood in front of the world's barriers once again.
"... Let me confirm, we don't have any grudges between us, do we?"
"Foreign gods, halt here!"
The False Sky is both a constraint and a protection. Until Teyvat grows strong enough to cross this Sky Curtain, it is the duty of Heavenly Principles to block all threats, both internal and external.
Therefore, He had to stand in front of Anqi.
Anqi didn't understand the responsibilities of Heavenly Principles, but she understood the other party's attitude.
With her desire to escape fading, Anqi's expression turned cold.
"So, you're not going to let me go?"
"Outer God, halt your steps here!"
"Are you a broken record? But let me warn you first, I'm not someone to be trifled with, so be prepared."
Anqi grinned, and her aura turned sinister.
This body is stitched together with many things: the Fusion Warrior, Chiyou's devouring talent, and fragments of various Herrscher Authority, making it a degraded version of the Lesser Finality.
Since they wouldn't let her leave, Anqi had no choice but to take a gamble. At worst, she'd die here, her memories returning to the Theater of Domination. As long as the Theater of Domination existed, no Anqi was afraid of death.
Their eyes met, and a divine battle erupted.
A few hours later.
"Where's the Theater of Domination? Where's headquarters? Help! I Heavenly Principles God!"
"Ah!!"
"Bang!!!"
A meteor fell into a grassland, kicking up clouds of dust.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Anqi pulled her head out of the deep pit, spat out a mouthful of dirt, and then raised her hand, making an international friendship gesture towards the sky.
Then they made a hasty escape, disappearing in the blink of an eye. When a Thousand-Person Ruler want to go into hiding, unless they set up a trap like Otto, it would be very difficult to find them even if you searched the entire world.
A few days later, in Mondstadt City, at the Cat's Tail Tavern.
The elegant and slender boss, Marguerite, sat upright in her boss's chair, petting her beloved black cat, Little Prince, and looking up and down at the slightly reserved yet exquisite and adorable blonde girl in front of her.
"So, you're here to apply for a job as a bartender."
"Yes, please take me in and give me some food."
Do you know how to mix drinks?
"... I'm super good at it!"
The girl nervously rubbed her hands together, her gaze wandering, and hesitated for a moment before responding loudly.
He's obviously lying.
Moreover, it's immediately obvious that they're not good at lying.
Marguerite smiled with interest and said:
"Make me a cup to try."
"I'm sorry, I can't!"
The girl bowed decisively at a 90-degree angle.
"But I learn things incredibly fast!"
She added confidently.
Marguerite found it very amusing and burst into laughter, her body trembling with mirth.
"Alright, alright, just kidding. Although there's always a shortage of good bartenders, this time I'm hiring waiters. Being able to serve drinks, do math, and get along well with cats is enough."
"I'm fine with this, please hire me, boss!"
"I'd be quite willing to hire you. You know, it's not easy to find a cute kid in Mondstadt City who's willing to work in a tavern. But let's make the terms clear first. It'll be a one-month internship, with this as your base salary. After you become a full-time employee, it will be increased to this amount, and you'll also get a raise once a year based on your performance. Plus, there will be commission bonuses based on sales. So, roughly speaking, you should be able to earn this much after you become a full-time employee."
Marguerite counted several numbers in succession.
Anqi swallowed hard and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
Marguerite was amused again and said:
Do you have any other questions?
"Yes, sir. Do you know where there are comfortable benches nearby?"
"Huh? Why are you asking that?"
"I'm going there to spend the night."
Anqi fiddled with her fingers, her face flushed, and said.
Marguerite's smile froze.
"You... have nowhere to stay?"
"Yeah, I just arrived in Mondstadt and don't have Mora yet."
"... There's a suite in the tavern for guests who've had too much to drink late at night. If you don't mind the basic conditions, you can stay there for a few days until you find somewhere else to stay."
"Ms. Marguerite, you are such a kind person!"
Anqi took Marguerite's hand in her hands, deeply moved.
Soft and smooth, it has the same wonderful feel as me.
Marguerite shook her head, both amused and exasperated. After thinking for a moment, she pulled a small bag of Mora from her bosom.
"It's only for emergencies, not for long-term stays."
"Uh-huh."
"Hey, here's an advance on your salary. You can go to the grocery store to buy some necessities and have a good meal. Come to work this afternoon... Hey, wait a minute, you're not going to run off with Mora, are you?"
"No, boss, I'm completely devoted to you!"
Anqi's gaze was fixed on the small bag of Mora, shifting back and forth with Marguerite's movements.
Marguerite found it interesting and shook it a few more times before gently placing it in Anqi's hand.
"Go ahead, be careful."
"Thank you, boss!"
Anqi took Mora and looked at Marguerite with her big, bright eyes, full of gratitude.
And so, Anqi acquired her first identity in Teyvat, perfectly prepared and without any flaws.
'Hehehe, Teyvat, your ruler has arrived~~'
"La la la?~~"
Anqi, in a cheerful mood, skipped along the road with a bright and lovely smile on her face. Her golden hair seemed to shimmer with a bright light as it swayed, making passersby turn their heads involuntarily.
