Illustrious flew at high speed, like a meteor, streaking across the sky of Liyue. Not long after, she saw the Ke Family mansion. She sensed Keqing's aura with her divine consciousness, found her in her room, and without hesitation, flew towards the room's window.
Keqing was painting a landscape when she suddenly noticed a streak of snowy-white light flying into the room. Thinking it was an assassin, she was about to put down her brush and grab her sword to fight, but the snowy-white light was incredibly fast, entering the room in an instant.
Keqing vigilantly watched to see who the snowy-white light was, only to see it dissipate, revealing Illustrious.
Seeing that the visitor was Illustrious, Keqing said with a hint of anger, "Why fly in through the window when there's a door? You made me think it was an assassin."
"Uh! My apologies, my apologies. Next time I'll enter through the door. Oh, and I've completed the three trials you gave me," Illustrious said happily.
"What? You've already completed them? How could it be so fast?" Keqing was a little surprised. She had originally thought Illustrious wouldn't be able to complete the three trials, as each one was quite dangerous. She had hoped Illustrious would die during the trials! Now, not only was Illustrious not dead, but she had also completed all three trials, which stunned Keqing. If she completed them, then she would have to sleep with Illustrious!
"It's not fast! A whole day has passed, I even think it's slow. Here are the items for the three trials." Illustrious pulled out the claw of the north wind, the ring of boreas, and a recording mirror from her gnosis space and handed them to Keqing.
After seeing and carefully examining the three items, confirming they weren't fake, Keqing had no choice but to put them into her vision space and said somewhat coldly, "It's quite impressive that you completed them so quickly, very commendable, but don't get arrogant. I have other matters, so I won't disturb your rest."
Keqing wanted to slip away, planning to leave before tomorrow and find a place to lay low. She would rather die than sleep with Illustrious; she would stall for as long as possible.
Just as Keqing was about to escape, a slender hand landed on her shoulder. The owner of that slender hand was Illustrious, who said with a half-smile, "Wife, did you forget something?"
Keqing mechanically turned her head, beads of sweat forming, and softly said, "That, Illustrious, you've been busy all day, you must be very tired. You should rest early! We can talk about anything else tomorrow."
Keqing tried to break free from Illustrious's slender hand but found she couldn't. Illustrious saw Keqing struggling and immediately knew that Keqing was trying to go back on her word and escape. So Illustrious said very seriously, "Wife, you promised me that once I completed the three trials, you would sleep with me! You're not going to break your promise and try to run away, are you?"
Hearing Illustrious's words, Keqing said angrily, "Nonsense! Of course I'll do what I promised. It's just that I saw you were busy all day and didn't have the energy to sleep with me, so I was kindly looking after you. Don't be ungrateful and wrongly accuse a good person!"
Illustrious shook her head and chuckled, "I'm not tired at all right now, in fact, I'm very energetic. The thought of sleeping with my wife makes me even more energetic."
"Your heart isn't tired, but your body is! Be good and listen, rest well today, and we can talk about sleeping together tomorrow!" Keqing said with a smile.
"No need for tomorrow, I want to sleep with you now," Illustrious said earnestly.
Seeing that Illustrious was determined to sleep with her today, Keqing activated her clever mind, rapidly thinking of a way to deal with the current situation. In just 0.1 seconds, Keqing immediately came up with a solution.
Keqing cleared her throat and said, "That, Illustrious! You don't think completing three trials is the end of it, do you?"
"What, wife, are you planning to go back on your word?" Illustrious said, her face darkening. "If you do that, I'll have to complain to Father-in-law!"
Hearing Illustrious bring up her father to scare her, Keqing said angrily, "I already said I wouldn't go back on my word! Listen, you have indeed completed my three trials, but I will only sleep with you once."
"What! Only once? How can that be! If we don't do it every day, how can our feelings be strong?" Illustrious refused to only sleep with her once.
Seeing Illustrious take the bait, Keqing continued, "Only once, you definitely don't want that, right? Then as long as you complete three more trials, I'll agree to sleep with you countless times. How about it? Don't you want to sleep with me countless times?"
"What, complete three more trials? Hmm! Alright! Then tell me now, what are these three trials?" Illustrious asked.
"There's no rush for that. I'll tell you tomorrow after I've thought about it," Keqing replied, planning to escape tomorrow. As for the three trials, they were just a way to buy time! She felt that even if she set up three more trials, Illustrious would probably still complete them, and then she would be doomed to sleep with Illustrious every day.
"Then you should rest well and await my three trials," Keqing said gently.
"Alright, I will definitely complete the three trials you set, wife," Illustrious said in a booming voice.
Hearing that Illustrious had finally fallen for it, Keqing was delighted. This idiot, what good was having a gnosis if he could be so easily fooled and disoriented by a few words? Indeed, one needs a clever mind, but unfortunately, Illustrious, you don't have one!
Just as Keqing was about to leave, she found that Illustrious was still holding her shoulder, refusing to let go. She immediately said politely to Illustrious, "That, Illustrious, since you already know, can you please let go of my hand?"
"Let go? Why would I let go? We haven't slept together yet," Illustrious chuckled.
"Didn't I make it clear? Once you complete the three trials, I can sleep with you every day," Keqing said in a deep voice.
Illustrious released Keqing's shoulder. Keqing brightened up, thinking she could finally escape, but she hadn't taken a single step before Illustrious scooped her up in a princess carry. "If the three trials later allow me to sleep with you countless times, then don't even think about escaping the one time we must sleep together for these three trials!"
Keqing struggled fiercely, but Illustrious's strength was too great, preventing her escape. She could only submit to being forcefully carried in a princess embrace by Illustrious. "Bastard, let go of me."
"Let go of you? Don't be ridiculous. If I let you go, who knows where you'd run off to." Illustrious refused Keqing's request and walked toward the bed. Upon reaching it, she tossed Keqing onto the mattress.
"Ah! That hurts! Wait, what are you trying to do? Stop it! If you keep this up, I'm going to scream!" Keqing's stockings were ripped apart by Illustrious's hand, immediately exposing the snow-white, smooth skin of her legs. Ignoring the damage to her stockings, Keqing retreated to the corner of the bed, saying with a hint of fear.
With a wave of her right hand, a snow-white Barrier unfolded in the room. This ensured that no matter how loud the sounds inside were, people outside wouldn't hear a thing. After setting up the preparations, Illustrious smirked and said, "Go ahead and scream! You can scream until your throat breaks, and no one will come to save you."
