Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

"Well, that's the end of Lord Tianquan's speech."

Then the gentle voice of Gan Yu, Yue Haiting's secretary, was heard.

"Please welcome Master Yuheng."

Keqing, who was originally wearing a black robe, has taken off her ceremonial attire and replaced it with her usual casual clothes that made her look heroic and easy to move in. The newly pieced-together rock knot green is still hanging around her waist.

Although the sword has lost its original emerald glow and can no longer be used as a weapon, Keqing still cherishes the sword given to her by the Emperor.

"As everyone knows, Liyue Harbor encountered a huge crisis a few days ago. A traveler bravely stepped forward to fight with us and turned the danger into safety. The Seven Stars would like to express their gratitude!"

Keqing's gaze swept through the crowd of spectators and soon located Paimon floating in the air.

In the public opinion guidance plan formulated by Ningguang, the identity of "the great hero who saved Liyue" was also set for the Traveler. This news was announced by Keqing, which can also serve to divert the attention of those with ulterior motives.

“…Huh? Why does Miss Keqing seem to be looking this way?”

Paimon tilted his head in confusion and looked towards the center of the square.

After FAMAS used the power of the cave to expand the activity space, the distance between the Traveler and Keqing became farther, but the size of the square remained crowded in Keqing's eyes. Little Paimon was flying around in the crowd like a headless fly, very conspicuous.

However, when Keqing saw Famas standing with his hands behind his back, she frowned slightly, and the Mondstadt poet dressed in green next to him was also very suspicious.

"Traveler! Please come forward."

When Keqing called out, Paimon was flattered and flew to the traveler, pulling her forward excitedly. However, Xieying looked back at Famas, and the boy waved to her with a blessing on his face.

It seems that I can't avoid being the center of attention today.

The traveler took half a step forward, but the people around him only saw a yellow figure flashing by at a very fast speed. In almost an instant, the girl walked from the moon gate at the edge of the square to the central stairs.

"Is that the traveler who was rumored to have repelled the ancient gods? What a young girl!"

"It turns out to be a pretty blonde lady. I heard she's a warrior from Mondstadt..."

The moment the traveler stepped onto the short stairs, Famas severed the narrow passage that he was maintaining, and the crowds of people once again appeared in front of the Yiyan Temple. The dark crowd made Ying dizzy, and he couldn't even find the location of Famas and Wendy.

It was the first time that Ying felt that the Yiyan Palace Square was so vast. The constant praise from the people of Liyue made her feel a little embarrassed for being so shameless.

"Good morning, traveler, see you again."

  Keqing walked up to the Traveler and Paimon, winked at each other in tacit understanding, first whispered a greeting, and then assured the girl confidently:

"We have been through these crises thanks to your help. The Liyue Seven Stars will repay a favor... and I am sure you have heard that we have connections and can do anything. Tell us what you want as a reward, because that is what you should receive."

The victorious war brought silence and lamentation. Sorrow rose and fell quietly in the Yiyan Palace like the tide. The deceased Liyue people might have been resurrected, but the Rock King, who had protected this place for a thousand years, would never wake up again. The Yujing Terrace separated by a wall was still full of temporary plank roads built of wood. How could the travelers have the nerve to ask for anything more?

"Then please help me put up some missing person notices."

Yingmei smiled and shook her head, her amber eyes filled with an emotion called sympathy.

Keqing had a strange expression on her face, and she was speechless. "Well... okay, come to Yiyan Palace later to fill in my information."

The traveler was about to agree when he remembered that Famas and Wendy were still waiting for him. He turned to look at the crowd watching the ceremony, only to find that the two had disappeared.

"Traveller, please agree to it... Don't worry, I have made an appointment with the street singer. We will meet at the southwest corner of the square."

Paimon followed the traveler's gaze and quickly realized what the other person was hesitating about. He hurriedly leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered an explanation.

After hearing Paimon's words, the traveler looked at the proud little mascot in surprise, then nodded.

I didn't expect Paimon could be reliable at times!

After the Seven Stars finished their speeches, the part of the ceremony to send off the immortals was about to end, and the remaining time would be left for the people of Liyue who came back from all corners of the world to pay tribute to the Emperor. The Hall of the Rebirth and the General Affairs Department left people to maintain order. Mr. Zhongli, who was in charge of the main process of the ceremony, had already left. People who presented flowers in front of the immortal ancestor's transformation came and went, gathering and dispersing.

Outside the Moon Gate of Yiyan Temple Square, a large number of vendors push their own mobile stalls to sell snacks, and stalls selling incense, candles and toys are set up everywhere. There are also countless banners fluttering in the wind, and there are all kinds of shops with colorful ribbons.

This is a commercial activity permitted by the Seven Stars. Liyue is gradually recovering its former prosperity and bustle. Taking advantage of the intervals between ceremonies, allowing the people to do business and make profits within a reasonable range is also an effective measure to revitalize the economy.

Ningguang and Keqing left first, followed by the Traveler and Paimon, and they walked along the edge of the square to the Yiyan Hall. Keqing was standing in the center of the main hall at this time. When she saw Paimon and the Traveler appear, she came up to them with a puzzled look on her face.

"Ying... were you just trying to show off when you spoke in the square, or are you really that indifferent? For things like missing person notices, you can just tell me in private when you have time. There's no need to be so formal."

Keqing called out the traveler's real name affectionately.

"The traveler must have her reasons for saying so."

During the conversation, Ningguang also walked out from the inner room of Yiyan Palace.

Ningguang is now the true supreme ruler of Liyue. With a gratified smile on her face, she nodded to Keqing, "We will do our best to find him. That will be the best thank you."

"Ah... I understand the logic." Keqing glanced at Ying with regret, "Are you sure? You don't regret it? Whether it's a vast amount of Mora or the power at the top of the world, we can give it to you."

Facing the olive branch extended by Keqing, the Traveler shook his head firmly: "I came to Liyue to find my brother."

“In that case…” Keqing held her chin and pondered, “Tell me about the characteristics, and I’ll send someone to post a notice.”

"She has long blond hair, is about my age, and looks similar to me. Her clothing style is quite different from Liyue's."

"Okay, if there is any information, the Qianyan Army or the General Affairs Department will inform you by letter." Keqing carefully wrote down the traveler's description and immediately waved to call the General Affairs Department's officer in the hall. Ningguang also narrowed her eyes and assured the girl in a gentle tone: "Qixing will do its best to help you find the person, don't worry."

"Thank you."

The Traveler imitated the people of Liyue and clumsily bowed to express his gratitude to Ningguang and Keqing. Ningguang was surprised and reached out to support the girl in time, revealing a rare sincere smile.

"Haha, you're welcome... Winning you over is the most brilliant move in this game. I'm sure whoever is playing the game will say so."

The traveler sensed that Ningguang was hinting at something, but in order to cover up Zhongli's disguise, he could only pretend not to understand and avoid the topic. He also signaled Paimeng not to take up the conversation and wait for Keqing to complete the remaining formalities. (End of this chapter)
