Under countless watchful eyes, Keqing unleashed lightning-fast slashes, chopping up all the beef offal and letting every piece fall back into the large pot on the wooden cart.
"With swordlight like mine, cut through all clutter!"
She performed the basic cutting motion ten times in succession, finishing in just three minutes.
[Diluc: Excellent swordsmanship.] [Kamisato Ayato: Is this the strength of the renowned Liyue Qixing?] [Ganyu: That really showcased Miss Keqing's abilities.] [Arataki Itto: Watching this is making me hungry.] [Ningguang applauded: Fine swordsmanship! With swordlight like mine, cut through all beef offal!] [Kaeya: With swordlight like mine, cut through all beef offal!] [Thoma: With swordlight like mine, cut through all beef offal!] [Xiangling: Hehe, with swordlight like mine, cut through all beef offal!] [Lumine: With swordlight like mine, cut through all beef offal!]
Keqing's face turned bright red. So many people were watching, but she could still handle the pressure.
[Keqing: Ningguang! Buy it all for me!] [Ningguang: That won't do. If any of us here buys it, that would count as getting help, beef offal chef.]
Keqing wanted to cry but had no tears. She shouted on the spot, "Beef offal for sale! Eight hundred Mora per pound!"
She couldn't lower the price, either. She could only call out the market price.
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: Let's turn our attention to Lady Guuji Yae. What did you choose?]
Everyone now turned to Yae Miko.
[Yae Miko: The correct answer, of course. The Cross-Dressing Master is an acquaintance of mine.] [Chongyun: Huh? What?] [Yanfei: There's a story behind this?] [Albedo: I actually know the answer too, but I respected the rules of the game and didn't reveal it. I didn't manage to claim a chance to answer, either.] [Klee: You know the right answer too, Albedo?] [Albedo: Yes, because Xingqiu, Lady Guuji Yae, and I have something of a working relationship.] [Xingqiu: Boohoo... This is so embarrassing, with so many people watching. Why am I always the unlucky one?]
No one understood why Xingqiu was crying yet.
[Yae Miko: Xingqiu is one of our contracted authors at Yae Publishing House, the esteemed Pillow Jade. We just signed him for a new book that's selling quite well.] [Paimon: What? The bookworm publishes books too?!] [Kamisato Ayaka: So young Master Xingqiu is actually the esteemed Pillow Jade. I've read the first volume of Records of Jinyu too. It's selling quite well.] [Chongyun: I didn't even know!] [Yae Miko: So I know a few little secrets. The answer is 4.] [Keqing: 4??????] [Hu Tao: Xingqiu's handwriting is absolutely awful. It looks even less like writing than the ghostly scribbles I draw.] [Yanfei: Yes, his handwriting is so ugly that no one could imitate it.] [Xingqiu: So embarrassing. So embarrassing.] Ding-Yae Miko answered correctly and received one Space-Time Anchor Ring as a reward.
Yae Miko opened the elite livestream interface and accepted. Everyone saw a pink ring appear in her hand.
[Yoimiya: Lady Guuji, what wonderful thing is that?] [Arataki Itto: That ring looks pretty valuable.] [Ningguang: Many of the things this miraculous livestream gives out cannot be measured in money.] [Zhongli: Even the Seven could not accomplish such a feat. Truly miraculous.]
Yae Miko put it on. "What a lovely treasure. I'll try it myself."
With a thought, an image appeared in her mind.
She vanished in an instant.
[Jean: She disappeared?]
A moment later, the livestream camera switched to Keqing's side, where Yae Miko could be seen landing.
[Yae Miko: My, my, I really am in Liyue. How convenient. A shame I can't buy any beef offal. Ganyu, dear big sister, where can I find some good tofu dishes in Liyue?]
Yae Miko had appeared right in Liyue!
[Kamisato Ayaka: Big sister Ganyu? Isn't Lady Guuji... over five hundred years old?] [Ganyu: Miko, little sister, how did you get to Liyue? Wait there. I'll be right over. @Kamisato Ayaka, I am half-adeptus, after all.] [Yae Miko: In the past, I was the one who coordinated trade between Inazuma and Liyue with big sister Ganyu. This ring is quite wonderful. It can take me to locations in Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma. It has 168 spatial anchors and can be used twice a day.] [Bennett: That's... that's amazing! Wouldn't that make adventuring so convenient?] [Sangonomiya Kokomi: It goes far beyond making adventures convenient. It's downright terrifying.] [Ningguang: Fortunately, it can only transport one person. Can this treasure be traded?] [Yae Miko: No one but me can use it.] [Keqing: Beef offal for sale!]
"..."
Paimon looked at the note Xingqiu had given them. "Wow, this handwriting is so ugly! Even if someone checked it, they wouldn't be able to read it, would they?"
Lumine looked over. "An ancient script?"
Xingqiu said, "That's why there's no need for you to check."
[Xingqiu: This is so embarrassing. Now the whole continent knows how ugly my handwriting is, and I'm the second young master of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, no less. I'm done for, done for.] [Thoma: Don't worry. People will remember the Cross-Dressing Master more.] [Xingqiu: Now I have even less dignity left to show my face outside. And honestly, my parents are laughing themselves silly right beside me.] [Beidou: Everyone at Wanmin Restaurant is laughing themselves silly too. Several of your household servants happen to be eating here.] [A-Xu: No one can imitate the second young master's handwriting. I'd definitely recognize it at a glance.]
