Genshin Impact: After Getting Married, Something Changed in My Body Chapter 208 - 21 – Keqing, Calm Down

With a bang, the door flew open, and Ganyu watched Keqing chase after Ningguang with her sword in hand.

Ganyu sat there in silence for a long ti, unable to understand.

She and Keqing were as close as sisters. Their relationship had always been good, so why had Keqing said sothing like that to her?

Had Ryou really taken advantage of her, and Keqing wanted him to marry her afterward?

Ganyu rembered that Keqing had brought this up before too. Was Keqing trying to ask her for help?

Ganyu had treated Keqing before, so Keqing had co to see her every day.

And Keqing had been in quite a miserable state, though there had been pleasure mixed into that misery.

Ryou was basically a great demon king to Keqing.

That was exactly why Ganyu had seen a chance. She knew Keqing could not hold out alone forever.

And now that Keqing had brought this up early, did that an the pressure had already beco too much, and she needed Ganyu's help?

Ganyu looked out the window and thought for a long while. In the end, she decided to stay cautious.

There were still six months until Lantern Rite. That was enough ti for her to prepare many things.

By Lantern Rite, she would definitely have enough confidence to win Keqing over.

Then she could marry into Ryou's family.

For now, though, Ganyu did not feel confident enough.

She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and set it down. Just then, she heard a commotion outside.

Ganyu shook her head, picked up her docunts, and began handling them. "Let them make noise. Keqing should know where to draw the line."

"Still, Keqing and Ningguang seem to have had quite a few clashes. Surely they won't…"

Ganyu got up and walked to the window, looking down.

There were not many people on Yujing Terrace, and she did not see Keqing or Ningguang below.

Then she raised her gaze into the distance and saw Ryou walking toward Yujing Terrace.

Joy rose in Ganyu's heart, and she smiled at the sight of him.

Suddenly, she felt as if Ryou had noticed her from Yujing Terrace.

He lifted his head, looked up at her, and smiled.

That smile imdiately lifted Ganyu's mood.

She thought about speaking with Ryou later and inviting him to spend so ti at Yujing Terrace.

Then Ganyu rembered sothing else. In the past few days, several adepti had appeared in the city.

She recognized all of them. They had co from Yilong Wharf.

They usually liked growing adeptal tea, so their sudden arrival in Liyue Harbor felt very strange.

Ganyu suspected they had co for Ryou. After all, the adeptal tea Ryou had was outstanding in quality, flavor, and every other aspect.

She only did not understand why they had rushed to Liyue Harbor. Were they trying to take all of Ryou's adeptal tea for themselves?

Most likely, those adepti had deduced that the tea's source was in Liyue Harbor.

She needed to warn Ryou about this. Those adepti did not have the best tempers.

If they clashed with Ryou, things would beco troubleso.

By the ti Ganyu pulled her thoughts back, Ryou had already walked into Yujing Terrace.

Ganyu smiled, feeling much better, then sat down and returned to her work.

…

Inside an office at Yujing Terrace.

"Ningguang, what are you trying to do?" Keqing glared at Ningguang, fury burning in her chest.

She had nearly succeeded just now, but Ningguang had ruined everything with one sentence.

She really wanted to cut Ningguang down.

"Keqing, shouldn't I be asking you that?"

"What were you trying to do by lying to Ganyu like that?"

"And from what I heard, you were trying to make Ganyu marry your husband?" Ningguang asked.

"So what if I was?" Keqing said.

"Keqing, you know what kind of person Ganyu is. This is not appropriate."

"I think… the reason you set your sights on Ganyu is because you can't endure being bullied anymore, so you wanted soone to help you."

Ningguang looked at her. "But Ganyu is half-adeptus. When the ti cos, the situation may reverse, and your husband may be the one who can't keep up."

"I admit Ryou is exceptional, but in the end, he is still an ordinary person."

"Ningguang, what exactly are you trying to say?" Keqing asked.

"I an, you can give Ryou to ."

"You? You're not worthy," Keqing said.

"Keqing, what is that supposed to an?"

"I, Ningguang, have Mora, status, and looks."

"Tell , how exactly am I inferior to you?" Ningguang glared at her, deeply unconvinced.

Keqing looked Ningguang over.

She had to admit that Ningguang's figure and overall presence were impressive enough to make anyone envious.

If this had been before, Keqing might not have been able to compare to her.

After all, Ningguang was taller than her and had more curves.

But ever since Ryou had started bullying her, Keqing had improved in every aspect.

Compared with Ningguang, she was not lacking at all. In so ways, she was even better.

More importantly, with Ningguang's constitution, there was no way she could compete with Keqing.

On that point alone, what could Ningguang possibly use to fight her?

"Ningguang, don't bla for being blunt, but you… wouldn't last," Keqing said.

"You say I wouldn't last, so that makes it true?"

"How would anyone know unless he tried?" Ningguang looked at Keqing.

"Ningguang, do you have no sha?"

"If I say you wouldn't last, then you wouldn't. You don't believe ?"

"Then let ask you. How long does it take you to finish your official work?" Keqing asked.

"That depends on how much there is!" Ningguang said.

Keqing glanced at the docunts on the desk. "Your usual daily workload."

Liyue Harbor's official work was complicated because it covered every industry.

On top of that, the details were ssy and nurous.

Even with all the secretaries at Yujing Terrace helping, it still took a great deal of energy.

When Ganyu had been taken away by Ryou before, Ningguang had even been forced to work through the night.

Ganyu was one of Ningguang's greatest supports. Without her, Ningguang needed even more ti.

Under normal circumstances, it took about six hours to finish all the work.

"You need six hours just to deal with official docunts. Tell , if sothing else lasted that long, would you be able to hold up?"

"In my opinion, you'd fall apart sooner or later." Keqing folded her arms.

Although Keqing had not worked with Ningguang for very long, she knew Ningguang was very competitive.

Ningguang arranged for others to handle many things, unlike Keqing, who preferred doing things personally.

Ningguang fell silent for a mont. "Is that true? You're not lying to ?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Keqing said.

"Hiss… your husband is that strong? Now I really want to—hey, hey! Keqing, what are you doing?"

"Put the sword down!"

"You sched against and got removed from the Liyue Qixing, and now you're doing this? Are you trying to rebel?" Ningguang quickly stood up when she saw Keqing draw her sword with a dark expression.

"Hmph. That is all you can threaten with," Keqing said disdainfully.

"Keqing, I'm sincerely trying to help you. Why won't you understand?" Ningguang said.

Keqing folded her arms and glared at her. "Are you really going to try to steal him from ?"

"I'm warning you. If you dare set your sights on my husband again, I'll storm the Jade Chamber."

"Try it," Ningguang said.

Keqing stabbed her sword into the desk. "See if I dare."

"You…"

Ningguang was about to speak when footsteps sounded outside.

The next mont, Yelan appeared at the door.

"Yelan, do you need sothing?" Ningguang asked.

"Am I interrupting?" Yelan asked.

Keqing glanced at Yelan, folded her arms, and sat down.

"Hm?" Yelan looked at the sword.

"What is it?" Ningguang asked.

"I feel like I've seen this sword sowhere before. It doesn't look simple."

"Mm… I think it's the Hydro Archon's sword. Splendor of Tranquil Waters, if I rember correctly," Yelan said.

"The Hydro Archon?" Keqing looked at Yelan. "Could you be mistaken?"

"I'm certain this is that sword, but I'll need to verify the details."

"But Keqing, how do you have this sword?" Yelan asked.

"Keqing, explain yourself."

"If this is investigated, it could beco serious."

"After all, it cos from Fontaine, and you…" Ningguang's expression turned serious.

Fontaine was far from Liyue Harbor, but if this caused trouble, it would still be troubleso.

More importantly, the sword was connected to Fontaine's Hydro Archon.

"I… don't know either. I woke up one day and had this sword," Keqing said, shaking her head.

Keqing knew this thing was connected to Ryou. She had asked him about it before, but he had only acted mysterious and refused to explain.

Yelan had worked under Ningguang for a long ti and knew plenty about intelligence from every nation.

If even Yelan said this, could this sword really be a god's weapon?

Keqing pulled the sword out. "I can feel that it is extraordinary, but I didn't expect it to be a divine weapon."

"Yelan, keep a close eye on this. Find out everything you can as quickly as possible."

"If it really involves Fontaine's Archon, Liyue may have trouble on its hands," Ningguang told her. "Do it quickly."

"Don't worry. I'll verify it as soon as I can."

"Also, Keqing, what is going on with your warrant for Shenhe?"

"The whole city is talking about it. I heard people discussing it on my way here," Yelan said, looking at Keqing.

"This…"

Keqing did not know how to explain.

"What else? Her husband was stolen by Shenhe, so now she's lashing out in anger," Ningguang said.

"Ningguang, no one will think you're mute if you stay quiet."

Keqing glared at Ningguang. "This is my personal matter. I'll explain it to everyone myself."

"Mm… I don't know what happened, but could this be a misunderstanding?" Yelan asked.

"A misunderstanding? Impossible!" Keqing shook her head.

"But when I ca over just now, I saw Ryou entering the Ministry of Civil Affairs," Yelan said.
