Surrounded by the crowd, Beidou and Yujin squatted on both sides of a low table.
Xiangling looked at Beidou who was excited, then looked at Yujin who hadn't changed much, and wanted to step forward and persuade Beidou not to seek trouble.
But in the end Xiangling gave up her idea. Firstly, Beidou was a bit stubborn. She never believed what others said. She only believed in herself.
Secondly, Xiangling was also curious about who was stronger! Although Yu Jin was very strong, Beidou was not bad either.
When Xiangling was very young, she heard about Beidou's experience of destroying Haishan. In her mind, Beidou could be considered one of the best figures in Liyue.
"Hehe, even though I know you, Yujin, are very strong, I am no pushover either!" Beidou stretched his muscles and said confidently.
"I can see that." Yu Jin responded indifferently, then put his hands on the table.
Beidou stopped talking when she saw this. She held Yujin's iron palm. The warmth coming from the armor was not cold, but unexpected.
It's as if the person under the armor is getting hotter.
"Okay, the first Adventurers Association-Southern Cross Fleet Arm Wrestling Competition begins now!"
Xiangling squeezed out of the crowd, holding the rice crust, and shouted excitedly.
"Haha, I'm going to exert my strength, Yujin!" Beidou laughed, and then started to exert his strength.
Her somewhat rough but slender arms instantly became angular, and the muscles in her arms bulged, providing Beidou with enough power to shake the giant beast.
"Squeak-"
The table under their elbows began to make a teeth-grinding friction sound, but despite this, Beidou and Yujin's movements remained unchanged.
Beidou was surprised to find that from the moment she held Yujin's hand to the moment she exerted force, there was no change in Yujin's palm.
It seemed as if he wasn't using any strength at all.
"You haven't used your full strength yet, so you can still use the Eye of God." Yu Jin felt the tremendous force coming from his palm. Although the force was enormous, Yu Jin knew that Beidou had not used his full strength yet.
"Huh, in that case, I won't be polite!" Beidou didn't refuse after hearing that. She took a deep breath, and then the purple snake began to jump on her body.
After using the elemental power, Yu Jin could feel that the power coming from his hands had become much greater than before.
It's almost a qualitative leap.
Looking at Beidou's hard work, Yu Jin felt that he had to give him some face.
So Yu Jin's arm first bent down a little and then immediately slapped Beidou's palm on the table.
"what?"
Beidou didn't seem to react. Didn't she have a slight advantage just now? How come she lost in the blink of an eye?
"What's that? The winner is decided. I won!"
Embers can be gentle and considerate, but not much.
Beidou's advantage just now was the result of his sympathy for women.
"Clap clap clap!"
"Excellent! There aren't many people in Liyue Harbor who can beat Beidou in terms of strength."
Just as the crew members were stunned, a burst of applause suddenly rang out, and then a gorgeous woman appeared in front of Yu Jin.
She wore her hair in a high bun, a black satin gilded cheongsam, and a phoenix-patterned apricot hairpin, which made her look even more elegant and graceful.
Yu Jin didn't know any of the above. He only knew that the woman in front of him was very rich. She might surpass Ye Lan and become the richest woman Yu Jin had ever met.
"Ningguang? Why are you here? Now is the time for our fleet to celebrate." Beidou was not very happy to see Ningguang coming.
Because Ningguang's arrival means her fleet will be busy again.
Ningguang glanced at Beidou, who looked unhappy, and smiled.
"Why, I am your good friend after all, so why can't I have fun with you?"
Ningguang really admired Beidou, who did not restrain himself in front of her.
"With you? It would be fine if the two of us got together privately. You came to the celebration party because you thought our atmosphere was too relaxed and you wanted to put some pressure on us?"
Beidou rolled her eyes at Ningguang. When Ningguang came, her crew members immediately became like wilted chicks.
Be cautious even when drinking.
"Let's go. I know you have something to do." Beidou stood up and walked towards the captain's room on the Death Star.
“Hey, actually you don’t have to be so reserved.” Ningguang shook her head and followed Beidou to the captain’s room.
"Hey, who is that woman?" Yu Jin saw Ningguang's back disappear, and he approached Xiangling and asked quietly.
"Ah? You don't know, that's Lord Ningguang from Tianquan Star. A big shot!" Xiangling said with a sigh of relief. It's worthy of being Tianquan Star. The aura is really not to be underestimated.
But she quickly realized what was happening and asked in confusion, "No, why are you like this? Could it be that you are also intimidated by Lady Ningguang's aura?"
"I saw you all were like this, so I did this." Ember replied absentmindedly.
Tianquan Star? Then can we open a back door?
Chapter 251 Beidou Can't Stay Idle
2023-10-24
If you ask why Yu Jin wanted to take the back door, it was naturally because of Zhongli's commission.
According to Zhongli, if he "died", his body would most likely be dragged to the Golden House, and the Golden House could be said to be the most heavily guarded place in Liyue.
This is mainly because the Golden House is where Liyue produces and stores Mora. Inside it, it can be said to be a real "gold mountain".
In a place like this, it goes without saying that there are a lot of people patrolling.
So Yu Jin thought that he could talk to Tian Quanxing and ask her to open a back door or give him some kind of entry and exit certificate.
"Hey, do you know what that Tianquanxing likes?" Yu Jin looked at the direction where Ningguang left and said to Xiangling.
When Xiangling saw Yu Jin's look, a sense of gossip ignited in her heart, "Yu Jin, are you in love with Lady Ningguang?"
Xiangling's eyes began to light up as she spoke. After all, she was still a girl, so she was still very interested in gossip.
"Why do you think so?" Yu Jin was immediately confused. He fell in love with her the first time he met her? Did he, Yu Jin, look like such a frivolous person?
"Look, Ningguang is young, beautiful, and rich. More importantly, she is Tianquan! It can be said that all the secrets of Liyue are in her hands!"
"A woman like this? Who wouldn't be moved?"
Xiangling's words made a lot of sense, and it seemed that she often discussed these things with her friends.
"I don't think she's prettier than you." Yu Jin silenced Xiang Ling with just one sentence.
His concept of beauty and ugliness had long been blurred. Apart from the head and limbs, are there any other differences between people?
Yu Jin rarely looks at people through their faces, he mainly looks at their souls. This is absolutely correct.
For example, Xiangling’s soul is trembling now. It seems that Yu Jin’s words just now have a great impact on her.
"You...what nonsense are you talking about!" Xiangling said with a slightly red face and waved her hands.
Now it's Guoba Gossip's turn.
It looked at Yu Jin, who was calm as usual, and then looked at Xiang Ling, who was a little embarrassed, and thought that this marriage was okay. Guoba was the first to agree.
But unfortunately, this is impossible.
"You still know I'm talking nonsense? Stop talking nonsense! Seeing that you know Ningguang so well, tell me her preferences." Yu Jin patted Xiangling's head and said speechlessly.
Really, it’s all Xiangling’s fault. The topic was completely changed.
"Hmm..., this... this..., maybe... Lady Ningguang likes Mora?" Xiang Ling rubbed her head and thought for a long time before she uttered a few words.
"From your tone, I feel like you're just guessing." Looking at Xiang Ling's hesitation, Yu Jin couldn't help but complain.
He was so smooth at talking about gossip, but how could it be that he knew nothing when asked?
"Uh..., there's nothing I can do about it! Tianquanxing, such a powerful person, I've only met her a few times, how would I know what she likes."
Seeing that Yu Jin had seen through her, Xiang Ling stopped pretending. She revealed her true colors, that she knew nothing.
What does Ningguang like? I’m afraid no one in the entire Liyue can answer this question except Ningguang herself.
"What do you want to do? Asking such a personal question?" Xiang Ling still couldn't suppress her curiosity. She wanted to know why Yu Jin suddenly asked this.
"Go away! Kids, go play somewhere else and don't interfere in adult affairs." Yu Jin looked at Xiang Ling and waved at her.
It is better for a young girl not to get involved in these things.
"What? If you don't want to tell me, just say it!" Xiangling curled her lips and muttered.
While Yu Jin and Xiang Ling were discussing Ningguang's preferences, the discussion in the captain's room in the distance was also quite lively.
After closing the door of the captain's room, Beidou slumped down in the recliner in a very ungraceful manner.
She rubbed her shoulders and asked Ningguang who was sitting opposite her, "Tell me, what's the matter? If it's something trivial, don't blame me for not agreeing."
Ningguang smiled slightly when she heard this. Talking with Beidou has as many advantages as disadvantages. One of the advantages is that the conversation is concise.
"I want you to go to Inazuma." Ningguang put away her smile and said to Beidou in a serious tone.
"Inazuma? Isn't that place a closed country?" Beidou put down his hand that was rubbing his shoulders and began to think.
Since the release of the national lockdown order, there has been less and less news about Inazuma. Today, Inazuma is even more hidden in a thunderstorm.
Any sound was drowned out by the thunderstorm.
"It is precisely because the country is closed that I want you to go there." Ningguang nodded and continued:
"Some time ago, the Liyue merchant representatives from Inazuma sent a letter saying that these foreigners were being oppressed by the Kanding Bugyo and were almost unable to survive..."
“So let me go and knock on it?” Beidou knew the purpose of Ningguang’s visit before she could finish her words.
"Almost. It would be even better if we could find out about Inazuma's current power structure or something like that."
Ningguang was not annoyed at all about Beidou interrupting her. Rather, she was used to Beidou doing this.
"Can't Qixing warn them?" Beidou narrowed his single eye and said lightly.
"Haha, you should know that with Inazuma in her state, what effect will Qixing's condemnation have?" Ningguang sneered.
A warning from the Seven Stars? I'm afraid any official notification or condemnation would have no effect on the Three Commissioners.
The three branches each have their own duties and do not govern each other. There is no restraining force at all within their scope of responsibility.
