"It seems I can have a good exchange with the Acting Grand Master in the future." Ningguang extended his index finger to Ann's mouth.
Ann had just confessed many things to him, which was why he had a sudden whim to ask someone to prepare some cream.
He hadn't expected the Acting Grand Master, who seemed so dignified, to play so wildly in secret.
"I, I think it's better not to discuss such matters." Ann's cheeks were flushed, but he still obediently stuck out his little tongue and licked the sweet cream clean from Ningguang's index finger.
Of course, this cream also had some other flavors mixed in.
This was not very convenient to describe in detail.
"If we don't have a good exchange, I'm afraid I'll only be the one pressed underneath you in the future." Ningguang smiled slightly, reached for a dessert that had just been delivered from the table, and then poured it onto Ann's chest.
"Mmm…" Ann pursed his lips. He was very familiar with this dessert; he had eaten it before. It was Almond Tofu.
Ningguang was even better than Jean; he was no longer limited to just playing with cream. Ann had been his dining table, or rather, his tableware, for a long time.
This feeling was very strange, especially when Ningguang tasted those foods, he would always include Ann's body, and still say it wasn't on purpose.
It had to be said that this way of playing was a bit bold; even Ann had never tried it, but in order to appease Ningguang, Ann still let him do as he pleased.
"However, have you considered my previous proposal?" Ningguang tasted the Almond Tofu, or more accurately, the small dot on the Almond Tofu, and said somewhat indistinctly.
"I, I've considered it." Ann tilted his head slightly and narrowed his eyes.
"I, I still want to take advantage of this time to look around Liyue…"
Qunyu Pavilion was certainly good, but as a trailblazer coming to a new place, not to explore but to linger in Qunyu Pavilion would be a bit unseemly.
"I've given you my last trump card, you know." Ningguang straightened up and looked down at Ann.
"S-sorry…"
"Never mind, it's not like I didn't expect it." Ningguang shook his head and smiled slightly, "However, you don't want to stay in Qunyu Pavilion, could it be that you've taken a fancy to someone and plan to go down and take her down?"
"Huh? H-how could that be!" Ann didn't understand why Ningguang would think that. How could he have any…
Well, thinking about it carefully, he couldn't say completely no.
That adeptus disciple Shenhe, and Ganyu, the secretary of Yuehai Pavilion, as well as Captain Beidou, whom he had met not long ago, he actually had a good feeling about all of them.
But having a good feeling didn't mean he left Qunyu Pavilion to conquer them. He was more interested in traveling around Liyue, experiencing the local customs and traditions.
Really.
"If you don't renew the contract, then don't. But you must remember not to forget me." Ningguang's finger rubbed Ann's lips, and some cream remaining on his hand made Ann's lips shiny.
"Also, tell me if you fancy anyone. After all, I'm the Tianquan Star of Liyue. Helping you in this regard shouldn't be a big problem."
"I, I already said there's no one…" Ann looked away guiltily.
"Really no one? I saw that Beidou liked you very much that day. Why don't you take down that great captain too? That way, if she ever causes trouble again, I'll have a good handle to restrain her."
"Or what do you think of the Yuheng Star? Keqing asked a lot about you that day, even though you only met once."
Ningguang's words made Ann's heart beat noticeably faster, but this was too…
Something was wrong. Why did the girls he had been intimate with all try to drag others into it afterwards?

"Mmm~ What a beautiful day, right Lumine?" Paimon stretched and then turned to look at Lumine.
They had just walked out of their room; it was early morning.
During this time, they naturally hadn't been idle. While Ann worked at Qunyu Pavilion, they were taking on various commissions.
The commissions here in Liyue were generally more difficult than in Mondstadt, though for them, the difficulty was mostly in the travel.
Some commissions are located very far away. Although they can use convenient things like Teleport Waypoints, there are many places they haven't been to, and the Teleport Waypoints haven't been activated yet.
Most of their time these days was wasted on traveling.
"Sigh." Lumine looked up at the azure sky and couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong, Lumine? Why are you sighing?" Paimon looked at Lumine with some confusion, then flew to her side and asked worriedly.
"I'm thinking about Star. I don't know how she's been doing at Qunyu Pavilion these days..." Lumine said slowly.
The main reason is that there are only a few days left until the Please Immortal Ceremony, and even now, the entire Liyue Harbor has begun to get busy, preparing for the Please Immortal Ceremony.
Although Ningguang has given her promise, if Star cannot successfully win over Ningguang, Lumine still cannot completely relax.
After all, Ningguang didn't speak too definitively back then; she only said they could participate in the Please Immortal Ceremony. Whether they could face Rex Lapis directly at the Please Immortal Ceremony was another matter entirely.
"Star will be fine. Didn't Xiangling say last time that Captain Beidou visited Star and said she was doing very well?"
"Hmm..." Lumine pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.
"That's true. Now I can only choose to believe. Star will be fine."
She knows Star's charm very well; as long as there's contact, it's impossible to escape.
Since Star is Ningguang's personal secretary now, the distance won't be too far. Lumine doesn't believe Ningguang can resist Star's temptation.
"Let's go, we're going to pick up the commission... Hmm?" Lumine was about to take a step, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a very unusual person.
She turned her head to look.
It was a white-haired woman, like an adeptus.
"What's wrong?" Paimon also turned around in confusion, and then her eyes widened.
"Wow, what a beautiful person!"
That person seemed to notice them and slowly walked towards the two.
A moment later, she stopped in front of them.
"Excuse me, does Star live here?"
