Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

And to win the other party's favor.

There was no other reason; it was simply because she was a little scared. She always felt both insecure and very safe around him, and she always felt that she had to do something.

and.

Regardless of whether he wins or loses in the end.

Winning his favor is never a bad thing.

"come over."

Ningguang walked up to Lin Jiu'an.

Looking at his raised hand, I hesitated for half a second before finally crouching down in front of him.

Lin Jiu'an then grabbed Ningguang's cheek with his bloodied hand, and with a soft cry of pain, pulled her so that she couldn't help but put her hands on the ground and kneel down in front of Lin Jiu'an, who was sitting on the ground.

"look at me."

Ningguang bit her lower lip, a deep sense of humiliation welling up inside her.

However, she still raised her head from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Jiu'an pulled her face very close, so close that they could even feel each other's breath.

But when Ningguang saw Lin Jiu'an's smiling eyes, she suddenly felt a little scared, especially when she felt the bloody touch of the thumb rubbing against her cheek.

Humiliation, anger, fear...

Several emotions intertwined, and Ningguang's throat moved slightly with difficulty.

She herself didn't know why her body felt a little hot and excited, and her breathing became a little rapid involuntarily.

Lin Jiu'an moved his face even closer.

Lin Jiu'an stopped when they could feel each other's nostrils close enough to meet, and said softly, "I don't really like your expression right now."

Ningguang's expression held a hint of stubbornness, yet she remained the noble and elegant Tianquan Star.

Ningguang said with difficulty, "You...you're going too far."

"I am just your subordinate, not your plaything."

"is it?"

"But in my eyes, there are no subordinates, only dogs."

"Or the enemy."

"So, Ningguang, I want to know, what are you to me?"

Ningguang's face could no longer contain her humiliation, anger, and other emotions.

then.

Ningguang then felt the hand holding her face begin to stroke her eyes.

Although it is very light and soft.

But Ningguang still couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

Are you afraid this man will suddenly go crazy?

His breathing became heavy, and his body trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Only when he saw the fear in her eyes did Lin Jiu'an smile with satisfaction.

"I really like that look in your eyes."

"Loyalty is the most useless thing in the world."

"Isn't it?"

Looking at the man's faintly contemptuous smile, it was as if he regarded her as a dog.

Humiliation, anger, resentment, fear and other emotions mingled at the peak, but in the end, they all turned into a deep sense of powerlessness, causing Ningguang to clench her hands tightly as she supported herself on the ground.

but.

Ningguang felt the man's large hand pressing against her face, experiencing a sense of powerlessness that was unlike anything she had ever felt before, being completely dominated by someone else.

Ningguang's body became increasingly hot for no apparent reason.

Looking at the man in front of her.

Ningguang suddenly felt her throat go dry, and involuntarily parted her cherry lips slightly, her eyes becoming uncontrollably hazy.

I really want to...

Just then, footsteps sounded at the door.

"Your Majesty, this is today's work report..."

Ningguang's hazy, beautiful eyes regained their clarity.

However, she didn't dare to struggle. She glanced at the door and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the blue-haired coconut sheep.

Gan Yu noticed something was wrong, looked up and saw Lin Jiu'an and Ning Guang's 'ambiguous' relationship.

Seeing two people with their faces close together looking at her at the same time, Gan Yu felt a little wronged, but more flustered.

"Am I...am I here at the wrong time?"

"No, you came just in time."

Lin Jiu'an released Ning Guang's face, clapped his hands, got up, stepped down from the steps, and walked to Gan Yu.

"Have you had dinner?"

Gan Yu lowered her head and shook her head.

"Perfect timing, I'll go wash my hands, then we can go out for dinner together."

"Oh, right."

As Lin Jiu'an reached the door, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Just give the work report to Ningguang."

After watching Lin Jiu'an leave the banquet hall.

Gan Yucai realized what he had just said and turned to look at Ningguang.

Ningguang had already stood up, ignoring the bloodstains on her face, and tidied her somewhat disheveled clothes and hair.

Ningguang looked as if nothing had happened, still maintaining her usual elegance and nobility, and her incredibly long, white legs made Gan Yu feel a sudden pang of envy.

"for you."

Gan Yu didn't want to think about it anymore, so she hurriedly handed the documents to Ning Guang and fled the banquet hall as if she were escaping.

Ningguang held the documents and watched Gan Yu's departing figure, and suddenly felt a little sad.

People are more infuriating than people.

Lin Jiu'an, that bastard, treated her so badly that if Gan Yu hadn't come in time, Ning Guang would have thought he would have changed his name to 'dog'. But when he faced Gan Yu, he smiled and asked her to go out to dinner.

You bullied me, then turned around and went to eat as if nothing had happened.

Are you making me work overtime here?

Thinking about it.

Ningguang couldn't help but think of Lin Jiu'an's domineering performance at the previous banquet, and the scene where he grabbed her face and completely controlled her. For some reason, her body felt hot again.

"What on earth was I thinking?"

Ningguang shook her head, but she, who used to be able to get into a working state very easily, was now unable to shake off the jumbled thoughts in her mind.

"Go take a shower first."

······

at the same time.

Liyue Harbor.

Inside a large mansion.

Some merchants sat around the candlelight in the room, their expressions uncertain.

If Lin Jiu'an were here, he would recognize that these were all merchants who had recently attended the banquet at Qunyu Pavilion.

"What do we do now?"

"What should we do? We must make him pay with his blood!" Li Fan said, his eyes bloodshot and his voice hoarse.

His hands are still trembling.

His son was killed in front of him like a pig, and he was forced to drink the blood that his beloved only son spat out as he died. Li Fan would never forget the look in his son's eyes when he died.

The other merchants looked at each other, their gazes towards Li Fan filled with pity.

However, after thinking for a while, they realized that they didn't seem to have any good ideas either.

The other side clearly had leverage over them, displaying an arrogant attitude of "If you don't give me face, I'll kill you all." What was most disgusting was that they were forced at the banquet to agree to a plan to provide a large amount of Mora to help build a new city in Guili Plain.

If they don't give Lin Jiu'an Mora in a few days, the other side will have an excuse to drag them over and kill them.

"Why don't we ask the immortals to uphold justice?"

"Looking for immortals? Are we any cleaner than them?"

"Even putting aside the question of whether they would stand up for us after we found them."

One of them sneered, "Are immortals so easy to find? Where are we supposed to find immortals?"

Gan Yu and Ning Guang clearly meant to help Lin Jiu'an.

In terms of assets, Lin Jiu'an has Ningguang's wealth and the entire wealth of Mondstadt as his backing.

On resources and manpower.

Mondstadt was also the country he ruled.

No matter what they compared, they found that they couldn't deal with Lin Jiu'an using normal methods at all.

However, it is absolutely impossible for Mora to be given to Lin Jiu'an this time and for him to build a new city.

That "new city development plan" is clearly a slow poison.

Not only will the loss of those Mora be a devastating blow to them, but the massive number of jobs created by Lin Jiu'an will also bring enormous resources and rapid economic development once the new city is established, and his prestige among the people of Liyue will surely increase day by day.

One increases and one decreases.

They will become increasingly powerless to fight against Lin Jiu'an.

They could even imagine that after this new city was built, Lin Jiu'an might ask them to fund the construction of another one. Once the land routes between Mondstadt and Liyue, both of which belonged to him, were completely opened up, these merchants from Liyue would be utterly rendered useless.

After thinking about it...

Aside from finding an opportunity to kill Lin Jiu'an, the new "Emperor," they don't have any other good options for the time being.

But now another problem has arisen.

How do we kill him?

The group of merchants looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although these merchants each kept several deities with divine eyes in their homes.

But those people's strength can only be described as average.

Even if Lin Jiu'an couldn't unleash the terrifying power he displayed when he suppressed the "Vortex Demon God," given his madman-like behavior in Mondstadt, where he killed anyone who stood in his way, it's likely that even their retainers couldn't defeat him.

"Poison?"

"Assassination?"

"still..."

Just as they were struggling to come up with a way to kill Lin Jiu'an.

A soft laugh from a young man came from outside.

The merchants present were immediately startled and shouted, "Who goes there?!"

Many others were already drenched in sweat.

There were guardians with divine eyes outside the courtyard, whom they had brought with them. How could anyone have managed to sneak in here so quietly, bypassing their guards?
