Genshin Impact: After Getting Married, Something Changed in My Body Chapter 213 - 26 – Keqing Is Next Door!

"Keqing, what happened? Did you make so kind of enemy?"

"Soone actually ca all the way to Yujing Terrace to cause trouble? Absolutely ridiculous," Ryou's father said.

Ryou recognized Tabibito's voice and quickly said, "Father, this should be a misunderstanding. The person outside is Tabibito."

"Tabibito?" Ryou's father glanced at him. "Then handle it quickly. Don't let this turn into another ss."

"I'm going with you." Keqing grabbed Ryou's arm. "This started because of , so I should explain it myself."

"Keqing, it's not that I don't want you coming with . I'm just worried you and Tabibito will start fighting the mont you see each other."

"Don't worry. I know how to handle it." Ryou gently patted her hand.

"Mona… Oh, right!" Keqing suddenly rembered sothing. "Ryou, what happened to Mona? Is she okay?"

"She's back to normal," Ryou said.

"That's good." Keqing let out a breath.

Ryou opened the door and walked out. Right away, he saw Tabibito coming in with her sword in hand.

Several Ministry of Civil Affairs workers were trying to stop her, but none of them dared to get too close.

Ryou saw a few people following behind Tabibito, two of whom he recognized. They were Shenhe and Cloud Retainer.

Then he noticed two unfamiliar faces behind them, and for a mont, he couldn't quite process it.

They were Dunyarzad and Dehya.

They were from Suru. Why were they in Liyue Harbor?

"Ryou! That woman Keqing threw all the way to Mondstadt yesterday!" Tabibito tightened her grip on her sword. "Do you have any idea what I went through? I traveled all night to get back! I'm so mad!"

"Tabibito, I'll apologize for her. Co on, co with . This is the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Making a scene here won't help," Ryou said.

"You…" Tabibito tried to say sothing, but Ryou pulled her into a room before she could finish.

The door clicked shut behind her.

Tabibito looked around the empty room. "What are you trying to do? You—mmph!"

Before she could react, Ryou kissed her.

Tabibito looked nervously toward the window and the door.

This was the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Keqing was definitely still in Ryou's office.

This room was only one wall away from that office, and he was kissing her here?

Wasn't this way too bold?

[Ding! Mouth entering Darkened Mode!]

[Ding! Mouth Darkened Mode active. You can breathe out a wisp of energy and shape it into anything. Duration depends on ntal strength!]

Ryou glanced at the reward but didn't look closely.

Right now, calming Tabibito down mattered more. If she really caused trouble here, things would get ugly.

The kiss left Tabibito dazed. "Bad man! Keqing bullied , and now you're bullying too! You're both awful!"

"Tabibito, Mona told what happened yesterday. Don't worry. I won't let you get treated like that again."

Ryou took out a Vision. "I wanted to give you this yesterday."

"This… is a Vision?" Tabibito asked.

"No." Ryou gently stroked her. "It's a ho. A ho that belongs to us. On the outside, it looks like a Vision, but inside, it's actually a pocket world. That way, you and Paimon won't have to sleep outside anymore."

"A ho…" Tabibito murmured.

After a while, she said softly, "Ryou, thank you…"

"Silly girl. You don't need to thank . As for Keqing, don't hold it against her. I'll make it up to you later, okay?" Ryou said.

"Mm-hmm." Tabibito wrapped her arms around Ryou's neck, lifted her head, and kissed him.

They kissed for a while, stopping before it went too far.

Ryou finally let her go. "All right. We've been in here for a while. If we stay any longer, people will start getting the wrong idea. I still have to go out later."

"Go out? Where are you going? I'm going with you!" Tabibito said.

"I'm going to Qingce Village," Ryou said.

"Qingce Village? I can go with you." Tabibito looked up at him. "Did you see the two people who ca with ? They're from Suru, and they asked to be their guide. I can use that as an excuse to go with you."

"Fine. I'll make it up to you properly later." Ryou held her and kissed her again. "Do you want to rest for a few hours first?"

"I… Then I'll rest for a bit. Stay with ," Tabibito said.

"Okay." Ryou rubbed her head.

Ryou sent Tabibito into the pocket world so she could rest.

For now, he would take care of Dunyarzad, Dehya, and the others.

Ryou opened the door.

He saw Cloud Retainer talking with Zhongli and Mountain Shaper. Shenhe stood off to the side without saying a word.

Ryou glanced at Shenhe, then walked over.

"Ryou…" Shenhe called softly.

"Don't overthink it. I didn't bla you for yesterday. We'll talk about everything else after we get ho," Ryou said.

"But… will Keqing let go back?" Shenhe asked.

"I'll talk to her."

Ryou looked at Dunyarzad and Dehya. "Tabibito traveled all night and got tired, so I sent her to rest. I'll look after you two for now. I'm Ryou. I work at the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"Oh, hello! I'm Dehya," Dehya said.

"I'm Dunyarzad," Dunyarzad said.

"I'm heading to Qingce Village today. The scenery there is beautiful, so this is a good chance to show you around," Ryou said.

"But Tabibito…" Dunyarzad seed like she wanted to say more, but in the end, she stopped. "All right."

"Ryou!"

"What is it?" Ryou asked.

"How did it go?" Keqing asked.

"It's fine." Ryou briefly explained the situation to her. "We'll all go together later."

"All right," Keqing said.

By the ti everything was arranged, half an hour had passed. Ryou followed his father and headed out of the city.

They took a carriage. Once they reached the outskirts, Ryou saw two people waiting by the road.

"Cousin!"

"Cousin!"

Both of them called out at the sa ti.

"You're back? You two are going to Qingce Village too?" Ryou asked.

"Yeah," Xingqiu said.

"I'm going with Xingqiu. I heard monsters have been showing up there," Chongyun said.

"Chongyun, don't talk nonsense!" Xingqiu quickly cut in. "Those are just rumors. Qingce Village doesn't have any demons or monsters."

"We'll know once we get there," Chongyun said, shaking his head.

"All right, get in," Ryou said.

"Okay!" Xingqiu climbed onto the carriage, saw how many people were inside, and said, "Chongyun and I can sit outside."

"Right," Chongyun said.

"Fine." Ryou didn't force them.

"Chongyun, what was that about monsters?" Ryou asked.

"I heard it from soone from Qingce Village," Chongyun said. "Apparently, sothing evil has been affecting the village, and an old man died recently under really strange circumstances. He was over eighty, but for so reason, he suddenly bit soone, then died right after. I think sothing in Qingce Village got to him, so as an exorcist, I have to look into it."

"Soone died in Qingce Village?" Keqing asked.

"Yeah," Xingqiu said. "We even went to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor on the way here. Hu Tao said it really happened, and the order ca in three days ago. Doesn't that sound strange?"

"Three days ago?" Dehya asked. "Did that person die three days ago?"

"No. He only died yesterday. That's why it feels so strange," Xingqiu said.

"Hiss… That really doesn't sound right." Dunyarzad moved closer to Dehya.

Dehya nodded. "Yeah… sothing's definitely off. Sending in the order before the person even died? It's hard not to think sothing's wrong."

"Don't worry. Chongyun is an exorcist. He can handle demons and evil spirits. With him here, nothing will happen," Xingqiu said.

"If there really is sothing evil causing trouble, I won't just stand by and ignore it," Chongyun said, patting his chest.

"Good. Then we'll leave it to you," Ryou said.

"Got it, Cousin," Chongyun said.

Ryou looked out at the scenery and said nothing more.

About half an hour later, they reached Qingce Village.

As soon as they entered the village, Ryou felt sothing was wrong.

It was almost noon. With the sun blazing overhead, it should have been hot.

But Ryou felt cold.

It was not ordinary cold either. It was a damp, eerie chill that seed to crawl under his skin.

"What's wrong?" Keqing asked.

Ryou held Keqing close. "Be careful from here on. Sothing feels off about Qingce Village. The sun's this strong, but it still feels cold. Chongyun might have been right."

"Okay, I understand." Keqing's expression changed.

"Are you two dating?" Dunyarzad asked curiously.

"No," Ryou said.

"N-Not dating? Then why are you so close?" Dehya asked.

"Are you siblings?" Dunyarzad looked between Ryou and Keqing.

Ryou pulled Keqing closer and kissed her. "She's my wife!"

"What are you doing?" Keqing rolled her eyes at him, her whole face burning.

"Your wife?" Dunyarzad looked surprised, then smiled. "You two look wonderful together. Congratulations."

"Thank you." Ryou smiled. "I'm sure you'll et the right person too. Maybe… sooner than you think."

"Maybe I won't." Dunyarzad shook her head.

"What do you an?" Keqing asked.

"N-Nothing." Dunyarzad shook her head again.

Keqing wanted to ask more, but then she heard soone calling her from nearby.

The voice sounded familiar. She turned around and saw Hu Tao standing up ahead, waving at her. A middle-aged man stood beside Hu Tao.

"Isn't that Hu Tao? What is she doing in Qingce Village too?"
