Chapter 25 Escape
"Come on, girl, eat more~"
"Thank you, but it's a bit spicy."
"Is that so? Here, I'll give you this bottle of iced coconut milk to help you relieve the spiciness."
"Mm, it tastes good~"
"Try this, big pig's trotter!"
"But I can't finish such a big one, right?"
Nashida went out alone to pack a sumptuous lunch from Wanmin Hall. Liu Bai and Nashida ate it happily in front of Keqing. The aroma of the food filled the whole room.
"..."
Keqing is just an ordinary person with divine eyes, so she would naturally feel hungry. The aroma of the food in Wanmin Hall made her swallow her saliva.
Is this also part of the torture...
Looking at the two people who were being intimate and showing off deliberately, Keqing was so angry that she had to turn her head away from them. However, the fragrance lingering at the tip of her nose could not be ignored.
"Come to think of it, I still don't know why she is here, and why she was caught by you."
When they had almost finished eating, Nashida remembered the question she hadn't asked yet, and couldn't help but point at Keqing and ask.
"She, she actually came to our house to steal things while I was away, and even threw my doll on the ground. She is so vicious!"
Liu Bai explained to Nashida, and couldn't help but feel indignant when talking about Keqing's behavior.
"It's because you stole my hairpin! Why would you, an executive officer of the Fatui, take action against my hairpin?!"
After hearing what Liu Bai said, Keqing finally couldn't help it and questioned Liu Bai loudly.
If the hairpin didn't have special meaning to her, she wouldn't have risked coming here.
"..."
Liu Bai blinked, then hurried over to pick up the hairpin that had been thrown aside.
Liu Bai then walked up to Keqing and, under her angry gaze, inserted the hairpin into her "cat ears".
"Now you have no evidence."
The property was returned to its original owner, and Liu Bai crossed his arms and said proudly.
Keqing: "..."
At least wipe the dust off, bastard!
……
Moon Sea Pavilion.
As the night sky was filled with stars, the blue-haired girl named Ganyu finally finished her day's work. She stretched out her hands and lay down on the desk tiredly, allowing her chest to be squeezed and deformed.
"That's strange. Why hasn't Miss Keqing come back yet after being gone for so long?"
"It seems that my Qingxin has been dealt with. That guy is really too abominable..."
After lying down for a while, Ganyu took out a few Qingxin flowers that had been hidden for too long and were a little wilted from a drawer beside her. After putting one in her mouth, she spoke a little depressed.
"Hmm... But let's go check it out. Is Miss Keqing in danger?"
After filling her stomach a little, Ganyu's head, which had been so tired that it could hardly think, finally regained its ability to think. She stood up with the help of the table, feeling a little worried.
After all, it is indeed dangerous for Keqing to go to find the Fatui executive alone.
However, she didn't know where Keqing had gone exactly. After leaving Yuehai Pavilion, she looked at the night sky with some confusion.
After looking around to make sure there were no ordinary people around, Ganyu raised her right hand and wrote something in the air in front of her.
Immortal magic: tracking talisman.
Possessing semi-immortal blood and having grown up under the instruction of immortals, Ganyu naturally knows a lot of immortal arts.
After the immortal talisman was written, Ganyu took out the information that Keqing had given her before, which still had Keqing's breath on it. She located the talisman by channeling her breath into the tracking talisman.
Soon, the immortal talisman glowed slightly in the air and floated around Ganyu. The pale yellow light it emitted flowed towards a certain direction in Liyue Harbor, just like a magical item called a treasure-hunting compass...
"The people are still in Liyue Harbor, so they should be safe..."
Ganyu muttered something, then jumped lightly from the Yujing Terrace, lightly tapped her toes to pass over the roof of the building, and flew in the direction indicated by the fairy talisman.
"Is that...near the Hall of Rebirth?"
"Well, that person is..."
Ganyu felt the changes in the fairy talisman and stayed on a nearby roof. Following the guidance of the fairy talisman, she looked towards the Hall of Rebirth.
Coincidentally, she saw a familiar-looking man standing at the entrance of the Wangsheng Hall. He seemed to be... a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall?
"Um……"
Standing at the door of the Hall of Rebirth, Zhongli was deep in thought.
The next moment he noticed something, looked in Ganyu's direction, then chuckled and turned back to the Hall of Rebirth.
"Eh? Did he just glance at me...was it an illusion?"
Ganyu was a little surprised. It was night time and she was hiding on the roof, so it would not be easy to be noticed.
……
"Give me some water, girl. I want to take a bath!"
In the bathroom, Liu Bai shouted towards the bedroom as before.
There is no running water in Liyue, so if Liu Bai wants water, he can only go to the well during the day and carry it back home, so he can only rely on Nashida now.
"Here I come~"
Nashida responded, blinked at Keqing on the bed, then walked briskly out of the bedroom and towards Liu Bai.
With her elemental power, consuming some materialized clean water every day was not a big deal. In this way, Liu Bai soon had a bathtub of hot water to take a bath.
"..."
In the bedroom, seeing that no one was watching over her, Keqing immediately spat out the rag in her mouth and looked towards her own Eye of God on the table.
I didn’t dare to take it back before because I was threatened by Liu Bai. Now is the best opportunity.
Besides, it was already night. Even if her clothes were inexplicably stripped off by his strange ability, she could still grit her teeth and escape. With the help of elemental power, she was confident that she could escape to a safe corner in a short time, and then find some clothes to put on.
So, at Keqing's summons, the God's Eye with thunder attribute shook and flew back to Keqing's side.
The next moment, lightning flashed, and the ropes tightly bound around Keqing's delicate body were cut into pieces by the lightning and scattered on the side of the bed.
"This bastard...wait for my revenge!"
Keqing broke the ropes on her body and thought to herself with gritted teeth.
Although she did not intend to reveal the fact that she was tied up for the sake of her reputation, she could use other excuses to vent her anger by attacking the Fatui in Liyue.
Picking up the Dragon Sound in the Box on the ground, Keqing did not dare to hesitate. She opened the window and fled directly outside, running towards a safe place without daring to stop.
"Ms. Keqing..."
Not long after Keqing escaped, she heard a familiar voice.
When I looked back, I found that Ganyu had appeared beside me and followed me.
"Ganyu, why are you here... No, no, it's not safe here, let's go!"
Keqing was stunned for a moment, but didn't care about that. She reminded Ganyu and quickened her escape speed, moving away from the house where Liu Bai lived.
They ran all the way to the busier area of Feiyunpo, and Keqing finally stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What happened? Why is Miss Keqing running so fast?"
Ganyu followed Keqing all the way, and only asked her with some confusion after Keqing stopped.
She had just looked behind her and didn't see anyone following Keqing.
"No, nothing. I just almost got discovered."
"Ahem, after all, I am an infiltrator, and this kind of thing cannot be exposed to the public."
Keqing breathed a sigh of relief and spoke to Ganyu hesitantly.
I was stripped naked, tied up and tortured... I can't say it out loud no matter what!
