Qunyu Pavilion.
To Liyue, it was her guardian deity, and also a Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all merchants in Liyue.
No petty villain could escape the scrutiny of Tianquan Ningguang, and no ambitious merchant didn't consider reaching Qunyu Pavilion their lifelong dream.
However, one day,
the creator of Qunyu Pavilion, the apple of Liyue's eye, the dazzling Tianquan Star, announced her marriage.
For a time, countless noble young masters and successful individuals bowed their heads in despair, and even the business of taverns improved several times over.
Someone once offered a billion mora to anyone who could provide the identity of Ningguang's husband.
Yet, after all these days, aside from discovering that he was a notorious deadbeat, Ningguang's other half seemed shrouded in mist, full of mystery and legendary allure.
...
On Qunyu Pavilion, in Ningguang's boudoir, on a soft bed,
Ningguang, the perfect goddess in everyone's eyes, lay naked in a man's arms.
She was like an ordinary young girl, teasing the firm muscles on the man's body.
His elastic physique, even after a full meal, still made her somewhat unable to resist.
"Stop it, I'm looking at documents."
Jack summoned a small vine and gently tapped the mischievous person in his arms, continuing to flip through the thick Fatui action log in his hand.
Ningguang let out a soft gasp, looking at him with seductive eyes, then climbed up his neck to demand a kiss.
Jack reluctantly put down the documents.
He turned and pressed her beneath him.
"It seems a certain little glutton hasn't been fed enough. Want an extra meal, do you?"
"Heh heh, haven't you heard the saying, 'A woman at thirty is like a tigress'? I've kept myself pure for so many years, and now that I finally have a suitable husband, what's wrong with indulging in a little carnal pleasure?"
Ningguang answered Jack self-righteously.
Then she actively pressed her body against his, craving pleasure.
But at that moment, a noisy sound came from outside the door.
"——Ningguang, are you there?!"
"Uh, Captain Beidou, Lady Ningguang is busy right now. Please… please wait in the side hall, and we will inform her."
"You told me the same thing an hour ago, and it's been so long now. Even if she was taking a nap, she should be awake by now. Could it be that she's hiding some gigolo and having a secret rendezvous?"
"Uh… please, Captain Beidou, don't make things difficult for us."
"Tsk! Ningguang, that woman, her airs are getting bigger and bigger! Fine! I'll come another day. Remember to tell her to prepare some good wine as an apology."
Hah! How ridiculous! The person who ruined my good time still wants an apology?!
Ningguang's face turned ashen, thinking about putting up a sign outside Qunyu Pavilion tomorrow that read, "Beidou and dogs not allowed."
Jack patted her head.
"Alright, Ningguang, you just finished your 'homework.' Don't you have a refractory period?"
Jack lifted Ningguang's rather elastic thigh and placed her flat on the large bed.
"It doesn't look good if you call someone for a discussion and then turn them away. It's better to see her first."
"Yes, your humble wife will listen to her husband."
Ningguang seemed to enjoy role-playing; one moment she was the business queen who held sway over Liyue, and the next she was a young wife married to an ordinary man.
She lightly draped a sheer robe over herself, her perfect figure vaguely visible, and didn't put on any other clothes, calling out directly towards the door.
"Let her in!"
Jack raised an eyebrow, sensing that there were no other males outside the door.
He simply didn't bother to correct her open behavior and quickly struck a pose to welcome the arriving Captain Beidou.
A black and gold jacket was draped over his shoulders, revealing the highly masculine muscles of his chest, while his lower body was clad in loose martial arts attire, with a pair of belts loosely and wildly hanging by his side.
He sat with one leg crossed and the other on the ground, his gaze, full of aggression and oppression, fixed on the doorway.
Bang!
The door opened.
The heroic woman, capable of wrestling sea monsters, appeared, and the first thing she saw was the charming concubine and the domineering emperor.
"..."
Beidou's face flushed red, her thoughts a jumble, not knowing where to begin.
"What's wrong? Isn't Captain Beidou supposed to have something to say?"
Ningguang spoke, finally breaking the strange silence.
Beidou cursed loudly: "You! You called me to Qunyu Pavilion only to make me wait an hour, and then you make me watch your live show? Ningguang, Ningguang, you've really improved lately!"
"Hehe, you flatter me. Now I am merely one of Traveler's insignificant concubines; I don't deserve such praise from the formidable Captain Beidou."
"You..."
Beidou was furious.
After all these years of covert and overt struggles with Ningguang, this was the first time she had suffered such a terrible loss.
Doing homework with Traveler was something she had always wanted to do!
Shaking her head, she forcefully dismissed those scandalous images from her mind.
Beidou stopped thinking about that vixen Ningguang, closed the door, and directly pulled up a stool to sit in front of the two, saying with a slight blush.
"Traveler."
"Yes, Beidou."
Seeing that Jack did not use honorifics, the two exchanged a smile, everything understood without words.
"It's rare for Beidou to take time out of her busy schedule to attend this meeting. My wife is a bit mischievous, please don't mind these details."
Jack patted Ningguang's head.
This instantly transformed her, who had just been so arrogant, into a little rabbit bullied by an even greater demon king.
Beidou grinned at this scene, waved her hand, and said: "I've known what kind of person Ningguang is for a long time. She's angered me countless times over the years. Let's get to the main topic."
"Good!"
Jack looked at Ningguang: "Do you want to start or should I?"
Ningguang merely looked at him resentfully, still displeased about him having brushed aside her dignity earlier.
So Jack domineeringly pulled her into his arms and began to explain to Beidou about forming the first group of members to explore the MC New Continent.
...
More than ten minutes later.
Jack laid out his ideas about the MC World, the Teyvat World, and his plan to connect the people and resources of both worlds.
After listening, Beidou rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
"Why does it suddenly involve a game between the gods of two worlds? Is this really something a small captain like me is supposed to hear?"
Ningguang chuckled: "What, is the little captain regretting it now? Hehe, it's too late. Knowing such a secret, even if you refuse to get on board, my husband will probably capture you and train you into a servant who only knows pleasure."
"What the heck?"
Beidou immediately stood up, her face flushed as she looked at Jack: "Aren't you going to control your wife? What kind of dirty jokes is she telling in front of a maiden?"
"Exactly, Ningguang, you'll scare people away like that."
Jack symbolically patted Ningguang's hand.
Then he gave Beidou what he thought was a gentle smile: "But my wife's words, though crude, are not unreasonable. After all, it involves secrets between worlds. If Captain Beidou isn't willing to help, I'm afraid I'll have to invite the captain to mine for two or three hundred years at my place."
