    Chapter 65: Ningguang and Two Others Arrive at the Shop

    The next day arrived.

    In the Northland Bank, in the Young Master’s room, the Young Master was tending to his wounds. He had chased after someone to Dihua Marsh and quickly encountered a legendary immortal. The outcome was self-evident; the one guarding Dihua Marsh was Xiao. The Young Master and Xiao fought, and the Young Master was completely crushed, no match at all. Fortunately, he was fast, only suffering minor injuries. If he’d been any slower, he might have met his end there. However, the Young Master wasn’t angry; instead, he felt his fighting spirit ignited.

    “Liyue truly lives up to its reputation, teeming with hidden masters. I must challenge that immortal in Dihua Marsh again when I have the chance.”

    … … …

    In front of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

    Hutao and Zhongli waited for Ningguang.

    Soon, Ningguang appeared with Yelan and Keqing.

    Hutao was overjoyed at the sight of Yelan.

    “Ya! Yelan-jie!”

    Hutao rushed towards Yelan and hugged her.

    Yelan gently stroked Hutao’s hair.

    “Little Peach, long time no see.”

    Hutao released Yelan, crossed her arms, and chuckled.

    “Yeah, yeah, long time no see, Yelan-jie, what have you been busy with lately?”

    Yelan smiled.

    “Some insignificant matters. Let’s go, let’s get started. This time, I’m here to act as a bodyguard for the Tianquan Star.” (Tianquan Star refers to Ningguang’s title as one of the seven stars of Liyue)

    Hutao then remembered Ningguang and Keqing. She had been too excited to see Yelan and forgotten them.

    “Good morning to both of you, esteemed ladies.”

    Ningguang smiled.

    “Morning. Time is precious, let’s go.”

    Hutao, hearing this, shouted to Zhongli.

    “Keqing! Quickly use your amazing magic!” (Keqing is a title of respect, roughly equivalent to “sir” or “madam”)

    Zhongli, not wanting to waste time, directly channeled his Geo power and teleported them away.

    After a dizzying sensation, Ningguang and the others found themselves in a place filled with immortal aura.

    Hutao explained.

    “This is Jueyun Karst. See that door over there? We can reach Ye Yun from there. By the way, Ye Yun is the one who sold me the flying motorcycle. Let’s go.”

    With that, Hutao was the first to approach the teleportation gate. Hutao and Zhongli opened it and walked through.

    Seeing this, Ningguang and the others exchanged glances. Yelan smiled.

    “Alright, alright, Little Peach has already gone in, what are you afraid of? Let’s go.”

    Yelan directly opened the door handle and walked into the teleportation gate.

    Ningguang and Keqing were speechless. Indeed, what was there to be afraid of? This was Jueyun Karst, the dwelling place of immortals. As people of Liyue, there was no possible danger.

    Then, they both entered the teleportation gate.

    Inside the train.

    Everyone had just finished breakfast and was packing their things to go out and play.

    Hutao just arrived and, seeing everyone packing their bags, curiously asked:

    “What are you all doing?”

    Paimon said,

    “We’re preparing to play in the snow, Hutao. Do you want to come along?”

    Upon hearing about playing in the snow, Hutao readily agreed.

    “Yeah! Yeah! I want to go! I want to go!”

    Hearing this, Jizi looked at Hutao’s thin clothing and took out one of her coats for Hutao.

    “Hutao, put on my coat first; it will be very cold later.”

    Hutao accepted the coat from Jizi and thanked her.

    “Thank you, Jizi-jie!”

    Jizi smiled happily.

    “You’re welcome. Just wait a moment; we’ll be ready to leave after we pack our things.”

    Hutao happily nodded.

    At this time, Yelan, Ningguang, and Keqing emerged. Everyone stopped what they were doing when they saw the three women.

    Ye Yun greeted them.

    “Three beautiful ladies, welcome to my little shop.”

    Zhongli said to the three women.

    “This is Ye Yun, the owner of this shop. The others are his friends.”

    Upon hearing this, Ningguang, Keqing, and Yelan introduced themselves.

    “Hello, Mr. Ye Yun, I am Ningguang, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

    “I am Keqing.”

    “Yelan.”

    Except for Ningguang, Keqing and Yelan’s self-introductions were very brief. Ye Yun didn’t mind.

    “Welcome. Did Hutao tell you about the trading rules here?”

    Ningguang shook her head.

    Seeing this, Ye Yun called for Noelle.

    “Noelle, come and greet the customers.”

    Noelle, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, immediately ran over.

    “This way, please. I will guide you through the shop’s items.”

    Ye Yun said,

    “Sorry, I have something to attend to outside. Noelle is an excellent employee of this shop; you can ask her if you need anything.”

    Hearing Ye Yun praise her as an excellent employee, Noelle’s face blushed slightly, a little shy.

    Ningguang smiled.

    “Alright, then please go ahead. We’ll browse ourselves.”

    Then, Noelle led the three to the small bar.

    Zhongli thought for a moment and decided to stay. He had originally planned to go out for field research with Walta. Now, it was better to stay in the shop first. He already knew that Ningguang and the others did not bring any Primogems. Without a doubt, he would have to lend them money soon.

    After Ye Yun and the others prepared, they happily entered the teleportation gate to play in the mechanical settlement.

    Not long after Ye Yun and the others left, Ningguang, Yelan, and Keqing had basically figured out the situation.

    Firstly, this was not Teyvat but another world, a world far more powerful than Teyvat.

    Secondly, they could use something called Star Coins to buy anything they wanted from Ye Yun.

    The three of them looked at the display screen for a while.

    Ningguang was slightly worried; she didn’t have any Primogems and couldn’t obtain Star Coins. However, there were many things she wanted to buy.

    Keqing pondered.

    “Should I go back?”

    Yelan shook her head.

    “It’s useless. The teleportation gate is in Jueyun Karst, far from Liyue Harbor. A round trip would take a lot of time.”

    Keqing shrugged.

    “Then what do we do?”

    Ningguang suddenly said,

    “I have a way.”

    Keqing and Yelan looked at Ningguang.

    “What way do you have?”

    Ningguang stared at Zhongli, who was drinking tea in the distance.

    “I’ll be right back.”

    With that, Ningguang walked towards Zhongli.

    Seeing this, Yelan and Keqing instantly understood Ningguang’s plan; obviously, she was going to borrow money from Zhongli. Zhongli had clearly been here more than once or twice; he would definitely have Primogems or Star Coins on him. Don’t ask how they knew; didn’t they see Zhongli chatting with the others when he arrived?

    Ningguang approached Zhongli.

    “Mr. Zhongli…”

    Before Ningguang finished speaking, Zhongli directly took out 10,000 Star Coins.

    “No need to say more, I know what you’re thinking. Here are 10,000 Star Coins. Pay me back with Primogems later.”

    Ningguang, without hesitation, accepted the Star Coins and thanked him.

    “Thank you. I will have someone collect Primogems to return to you immediately.”

    Zhongli nodded slightly.

    After receiving the Star Coins, Ningguang returned to the display screen.
