Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

"Is there anything else you want to report?" Ningguang asked Ye Lan again.

"Yes! It's about Liyue's recent public security issues." Ye Lan nodded and then spoke to Ningguang.

After hearing that Ye Lan was going to report about public security issues, Ningguang reminded her, "Keqing is in charge of the public security of Liyue Harbor. You can go directly to her for any issues in this regard. There are so many things to do recently, so it would be better for you to communicate directly with her."

The Seven Stars have a clear division of labor. If it is not your responsibility, it is best not to cross the line. This will not only lead to an imbalance in the structure of the Seven Stars, but also make it difficult for the departments under the Seven Stars to work. As the head of the Seven Stars, Ningguang must set an example and clarify the rules in this regard.

"It's not a security problem in Liyue Harbor, but in Liyue, especially in the area around Hulao Mountain." Ye Lan shook her head and told Ningguang the intelligence from her informants. "A lot of strange people have appeared in the area around Hulao Mountain. They call themselves the Abyss Cult and we don't know what kind of rituals they are performing. Moreover, when faced with the Thousand Rocks Army's interrogation, they immediately fled and never had a direct confrontation."

“The Abyss Cult…” Ningguang was even more confused when she heard this term. “Liyue has never had any religion in thousands of years. Even if there was, it was to believe in the Geo King! The name of the Abyss Cult must have come from outside of Liyue, right?”

"I think so too. The other party is likely to be from another country's religion." Ye Lan nodded. Religion is the product of people's belief in God, but in Liyue, either they are followers of the Emperor or distorted followers of the Emperor. Those who do not believe in the Emperor are endangered species, the kind that are almost impossible to encounter.

Moreover, it is impossible for them to create a religion with their own strength.

“Send more Thousand Rocks Army to drive them out. Liyue is now like walking a tightrope high in the sky, and there can’t be any problems! If those people from the Abyss Cult dare to do anything harmful to Liyue, the Thousand Rocks Army can take action directly without asking for instructions.” Ningguang’s order was very decisive, and she directly delegated the decision-making power to the Thousand Rocks Army personally.

"Okay." Ye Lan nodded, "Then I will go and notify the Qianyan Army first."

"sorry to bother you."

……

"Sister Luo Chaya, are you tired?"

Qiqi was walking in front of Luo Chaya, carrying a small medicine basket. Because she was a zombie, Luo Chaya could clearly see that Qiqi's walking posture was stiff, much weirder than that of a normal person. She also thought that Qiqi was an ordinary little girl who was innocently involved in the immortal war, and she felt even more distressed.

She shouldn't have to endure the looks from some Liyue people who looked at her as an alien.

"No, I'm not tired. But Qiqi, you must not tire yourself out!" After hearing her question, Luo Chaya shook her head and answered Qiqi's question softly.

"Qiqi is a zombie. Qiqi doesn't get tired! Qiqi, you exercise every day to keep your body...flexible."

Qiqi slowed down a little to make herself parallel to Luo Chaya. She raised her head, looked at Luo Chaya and spoke to her.

Luo Chaya and Qiqi walked together. She looked at Qiqi who was only as tall as her waist and asked softly, "What does Qiqi like?"

"Like?" Qiqi was stunned for a moment and looked at Luo Chaya in confusion.

Seeing Qiqi's blank look, Luo Chaya nodded and said, "Qiqi worked so hard to take me to Qingce Manor, of course I have to thank Qiqi very much! Tell me what you like, and I will send you off when we return to Liyue Harbor."

"Hmm! Qiqi likes...coconut milk!" Qiqi bit her finger and said seriously to Luo Chaya.

"Coconut... milk?" Luo Chaya tilted her head.

Qiqi continued, "Yes! It is the milk produced by coconut sheep, so it is called coconut milk! Qiqi wants a coconut sheep!"

"Well...well..." Luo Chaya blinked, her smile a little awkwardly.

If she remembered correctly, the Coconut Sheep seemed to be referring to... Ganyu?

Luo Chaya was thinking, and Qiqi didn't say anything, just looked at her as she walked.

"What is a coconut sheep? I've never seen it before." Luo Chaya decided to shake her head first.

"Qiqi knows! Coconut sheep appear in Tianheng Mountain! So, sister Luo Chaya, come with me to Tianheng Mountain next time, and let's catch coconut sheep together, right?" Qiqi invited Luo Chaya very seriously.

"Help Qiqi catch the coconut sheep and get 20 stones as reward"

Luo Chaya suddenly thought of this for some reason, "Uh..."

"What's wrong?" Qiqi saw that Luo Chaya looked a little embarrassed, so she tilted her head and asked.

Luo Chaya decided to explain it to Qiqi. She said to Qiqi, "Qiqi, actually, coconut milk is not milk produced by coconut goats. It is a mixture of juice and milk from the fruit of coconut trees."

"Hmm... is that so?" Qiqi blinked, her brain a little overwhelmed.

"Qiqi, don't crash!" When Luo Chaya saw Qiqi stunned, she quickly stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes, fearing that the child's brain would not be able to figure it out and would really crash.

Qiqi quickly came back to her senses. She shook her head and said, "Qiqi, there will be no downtime... Qiqi, you are very smart. If coconut milk is not produced by coconut goats, then Sister Luo Chaya can just give me a glass of coconut milk after returning to Liyue Harbor."

Qiqi asked for very little, and it could be said that she was leading Luo Chaya almost for free!

Looking at Qiqi's appearance, Luo Chaya felt as if her heart was struck by a critical blow of cuteness.

"Okay! When we get back, I'll give you lots of coconut milk!"

"It's a word."

"A word is settled!"

The two people, one big and one small, continued to walk towards Qingce Village. As it got darker, they found a relic to rest for the night.

Luo Chaya made a fire and was about to go find some food when she turned around and saw Qiqi taking out a package from the medicine basket. After she opened the package, she found several bacon steamed buns inside.

"Because Qiqi often goes out for several days to collect herbs, Mr. Baizhu puts food in Qiqi's medicine basket! Sister Luo Chaya, let's share it!" Qiqi handed Luo Chaya a bacon steamed bun.

Bacon steamed buns, Luo Chaya remembered that this was a delicacy passed down from Guoba, right? She took the bacon steamed buns handed over by Qiqi, and then sat by the fire with her, the two of them leaning on each other and eating the bacon steamed buns.

"Is it delicious?" Qiqi looked up at Luo Chaya.

Luo Chaya nodded and said, "It's delicious!"

"Qiqi, you have no sense of taste, Qiqi, so you can't tell whether something is delicious or not! But, seeing Sister Luo Chaya so happy, Qiqi is also very happy." Qiqi laughed and said these sad words in a normal tone.

Luo Chaya suddenly stopped eating the bacon steamed bun. She looked at Qiqi, was silent for a while, then reached out and held her in her arms.
