Chapter 59 (Exclusive to Jinjiang Literature City)
Jing Yuan didn't need to worry about the matters between Liyue and the Immortal Alliance. He simply built a bridge between the two sides, and left the rest to the professionals. He just needed to be a good interstellar tourist.
Jing Yuan was very happy in Liyue and even gained a few pounds, which put Fu Xuan, Qing Zu, and the others who had been worried about him at ease.
"I'll go back in a few days," Jingyuan said.
Fu Xuan feigned surprise: "You actually came back? I thought you had long forgotten about Luofu, Jingyuan."
It has been almost ten years since this person left Luofu. Before, when they were together, they didn't realize that more than ten years was a long time. But after they really separated, Fu Xuan realized that Jing Yuan had been gone for far too long.
Jingyuan is her superior, her comrade-in-arms, her family, and her confidant.
Whenever Fu Xuan encountered something difficult to deal with, she would go to Jing Yuan to confide in her.
Actually, she didn't want Jingyuan to help her; she just wanted to talk to him. Jingyuan understood what she meant and would always listen attentively to everything she said.
This feeling is really great. She doesn't have to think about anything random, and she can say whatever comes to mind. Jingyuan never criticizes or laughs at her, even if many of her ideas are impractical.
"How could that be?" Jing Yuan said with a smile. "I really miss you all."
Jing Yuan is really good at pleasing people, at least he's very popular with Fu Xuan.
Unable to suppress his smile any longer, Fu Xuan simply dropped the act and laughed, "Remember to bring me some good things when you come back, but don't bring me a head or anything like that again."
Although Muzan Kibutsuji was a useful energy source, his appearance was not very appealing, which made Fu Xuan quite dislike him.
Qingzu leaned over and said, "It just so happens that the festival is coming soon. At that time, Pioneer and Mr. Danheng will also be coming. Our Luofu will be very lively. It's just that Mr. Ren can't participate because of his status."
“It’s alright. If he can’t come over, we can go find him.” Jing Yuan didn’t care. “If all else fails, we can just let him come in as a cat cake.”
Mentioning cat cake, Qingzu and Fu Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
“Those wanted criminals either have a deadpan face or are crazy; they’re much cuter as cat cakes,” Fu Xuan laughed.
The three chatted for a long time, and were still very much talking until late at night.
"Go to sleep, or your dark circles will become too obvious if you stay up any longer," Jing Yuan urged.
The positions of General Luofu and Strategist are not easy to hold. Even though the physical strength of the Celestials and the Vidyadharas is strong enough, Fu Xuan and Qingzu still have a faint bluish-black tinge in their eyes.
Qingzu yawned: "We used to be the ones urging you to rest, but we never thought it would be the other way around."
“The child is older now and knows how to care for others,” Fu Xuan said. “You should go to sleep too, Mimi has already woken up from her nap.”
Having said that, without waiting for Jing Yuan to scold them for turning the world upside down, she directly cut off the communication.
"Tsk." Jing Yuan had no choice but to let these two comrades, whose combined age might not even be as old as his, take advantage of the situation.
He'd decided to add something special to Fu Xuan and Qing Zu's gifts.
Just thinking about the miserable looks those two would have made Jing Yuan chuckle softly.
Mimi stretched and yawned, then walked over to Jingyuan and rubbed against him.
What are you laughing at?
After petting the kitten from head to tail, Jingyuan said, "Why don't you go with Zhongli and Xiangling to Luofu?"
This little guy was sent to Jingyuan's side as soon as he was born, and then he just accompanied him around Teyvat. He has never actually been to Luofu.
Mimi shook her head, indicating her refusal.
“Xiao will be there too,” Jingyuan said.
Mimi still refused.
It does like Xiao, but it prefers to stay by Jingyuan's side.
The kitten meowed a few times, not allowing this two-legged creature to abandon it, otherwise it would sleep on Jingyuan's face from now on.
Jing Yuan: "..."
Why do his pets all want to sleep on his face?
The lion I used to keep as a cat would also sleep on my face every night, almost suffocating me several times.
To prevent news like "General Luofu was suffocated to death by his own pet" from making the bountiful creature laugh, Jingyuan and Qingzu spent a great deal of effort to break the little lion's bad habit.
Thankfully, he quit, otherwise, given the lion's later enormous size, he could have really crushed Jingyuan.
"Alright, alright, I won't send you away." Jing Yuan quickly comforted his little cat. "The traveler brought back some food from Nordkalley, would you like to try some? Paimon said it was delicious!"
The kitten was easy to coax and immediately forgot that Jingyuan wanted to send it away. It happily rolled around next to Jingyuan, begging for treats.
After finishing her delicious meal, Mimi lay down on Jingyuan's big bed and asked Xiaoba to give her a massage.
Hachi is a small robot sent by a traveler. Because it has eight tentacles, it was named Hachi by Jingyuan.
Mimi was lying on her back on the bed, while a small robot that looked like an octopus gently massaged Mimi's head with its tentacles, making Mimi so comfortable that she almost rolled her eyes back.
"You seem to be living a pretty comfortable life," Jing Yuan said, looking at Mimi with amusement.
Mimi stretched out her paw in his direction, performing a paw-blowing gesture, accompanied by a sweet "Mi~", which meant "Do you want to try it too?"
"Let's do it another day. I have to go out in a bit," Jingyuan said.
Hearing that he was leaving, Mimi stopped enjoying her massage and stared at Jingyuan with her big, round eyes, asking curiously, "Meow?"
where are you going?
Scratching its chin, Jingyuan said, "It's just a short walk, don't worry. I've heard there are ghost stories about Wuwangpo, and I'm a little curious, so I wanted to go check it out."
Jingyuan invited, "Do you want to come along?"
Of course.
Mimi quickly turned over and stood up to reach for Jingyuan's hand.
Take me with you; I'm a professional at dealing with unclean things.
Jingyuan understood what it meant, so he put the cat on his shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go together then."
After putting away the little robot, Jingyuan and Mimi headed towards Wuwangpo.
"I wonder if the ghosts and monsters here are the same as those in Luofu," Jing Yuan said.
Mimi was also very curious.
The monsters in its world are all incredibly ugly; just looking at them makes you lose sanity. Hopefully, the monsters in Teyvat won't be like those in its homeland.
Jing Yuan could guess what it was thinking, so he laughed and said, "There probably aren't many beings as ugly as a cursed spirit."
Mimi nodded in agreement: I hope so.
It's also a kitten with great taste.
Wuwang Slope is quite far from Liyue Harbor, but Jingyuan and Mimi are not ordinary people, so they can travel much faster than ordinary people.
Upon arriving at Wuwangpo, the person and the cat clearly felt that the atmosphere here was exceptionally eerie, making it an excellent location for filming ghost movies.
"Mimi~" Mimi carefully sensed the area but found nothing unusual.
Jing Yuan looked in one direction, somewhat wary.
A moment later, they heard light footsteps approaching them, and Mimi immediately arched her back, ready to attack.
"Oh my, isn't this Mr. Jingyuan and Xiao Mimi?" Hu Tao, who had a plum blossom in her hair, looked at them with some surprise.
"Mimi?" Mimi tilted her head in confusion.
"What's Master Hu doing here?" Jing Yuan asked.
Hu Tao hugged Mimi tightly and kissed her repeatedly before answering, "We're here to perform a ritual. What about you?"
“Let’s go on an adventure,” Jing Yuan said.
Hu Tao raised an eyebrow: "So Mr. Jing Yuan is an adventurer after all. My apologies for not recognizing him sooner."
"Is Hall Master Hu going back?" Jing Yuan asked.
Hu Tao nodded: "Yes, do you want to come along?"
"We just arrived, so let's not travel together," Jing Yuan politely declined.
Hu Tao stared at him for a while, then asked, "Mr. Jingyuan, do you believe in the existence of ghosts?"
“I believe you,” Jingyuan said.
Hu Tao asked, "What do you mean? Did Mr. Jingyuan witness it with his own eyes?"
“Yes,” Jing Yuan said with a smile. “In my hometown, there is a department called the Ten Kings Division, which is in charge of this kind of thing.”
Hu Tao looked surprised and curious: "It's a pity I can't get away, otherwise I would really like to visit your hometown."
“There will be opportunities,” Jing Yuan said with a smile.
“Since Mr. Jingyuan has experience in this area, I won’t say anything more.” Hu Tao put Mimi back on the ground and smiled. “It’s getting late, I have to hurry back to the Hall of Rebirth.”
"Goodbye." Jing Yuan said goodbye to Hu Tao.
"Meow~" Mimi also raised her little paw to say goodbye to Walnut.
While Jingyuan enjoyed a peaceful and tranquil life, the world on the other side underwent a dramatic transformation.
Yokohama
In the conference room on the top floor of the port mafia building, the core members, led by Mori Ōgai, sat together for a meeting.
Dazai Osamu sat in the seat that belonged to Nakahara Chuuya, his expression somewhat gloomy.
He hasn't been having a good time lately, not because his inhuman boss Sen Ou has caused him any trouble again, but because of the sudden arrival of the celestial ship Luofu.
The Immortal Boat Luofu descended upon this world in an extremely arrogant manner. Even though it appeared incredibly benevolent, anyone with a brain knew that they had neither the ability nor the qualifications to stand on equal footing with the Immortal Boat Luofu.
Whether they are superpowered individuals, sorcerers, or psychics, they are all so weak and pitiful in the face of absolute power.
Xianzhou Luofu claims they approached the planet's natives with a friendly attitude, but who believes that?
With your immense power, wouldn't it be easier for you to simply force me to become your slave rather than your partner? Don't ask them why they think this way; if you put yourself in their shoes, they'd think it's a good idea.
However, the people of Xianzhou Luofu have a strong sense of morality. Even if they could be crushed with a single finger, they would still politely invite them to the conference room for a proper discussion.
In any case, they managed to maintain appearances.
Some people thought that Xianzhou Luofu was easy to talk to, so they decided to do something reckless, which ultimately led to a big competition.
From then on, no one dared to go against Luofu anymore, at least not openly.
"The only thing to be thankful for is that the Immortal Boat Alliance has no intention of colonizing us," Sen Ouwai said.
“After all, they can travel among the stars, so it’s normal that they look down on us,” Dazai Osamu replied, resting his chin on his hand. “Mr. Mori can finally relax now.”
"Dazai-kun, your words are truly hurtful," Mori Ougai said with a smile. "After all, I am your teacher."
Dazai Osamu made a vomiting face: "That's really disgusting."
Chuuya Nakahara could no longer tolerate it and kicked the man off the chair, saying, "Don't be so rude when you're talking to the boss."
Even before Chuuya Nakahara raised his leg, Osamu Dazai seemed to have a telepathic connection, sliding off the chair to dodge the attack.
"Chuuya's barking again." Dazai Osamu poked his head out from across the table like a snake. "When will this stupid dog ever figure out who his owner is?"
"I've already told you, I'm not your dog!" Chuuya Nakahara was so angry he wanted to kill someone.
Ozaki Kouyou, who was drinking tea nearby, said with a smile, "With so much energy, why don't you go to the academy for people with superpowers?"
Upon hearing this, both Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya fell silent.
None of them wanted to go to the academy for people with superpowers, not even Nakahara Chuuya, who loved writing poetry.
“Good idea.” Mori Ougai thought the suggestion was good. “Even the Mafia requires a degree.”
For example, he graduated from Tokyo First University School of Medicine.
"Are you sure you want me to go?" Dazai Osamu pointed to himself with his index finger.
His special ability, "No Longer Human," can disable all other special abilities. Once it's revealed, it will definitely attract the attention of various forces, especially with the addition of the Immortal Boat Alliance.
"Isn't it no good to expose Araha's secrets too early?" Dazai Osamu said.
Chuuya Nakahara lowered his head and remained silent.
“Although Luo Fu knows almost everything they can because of Jing Yuan, the forces in other countries still don’t know,” Dazai Osamu said. “Or are you, Mr. Mori, planning to disband the port mafia?”
“How could that be?” Mori Ogai laughed. “You know I love Yokohama, so I would never hand it over to outsiders.”
“But do you have the ability?” Dazai Osamu’s eyes were filled with blatant malice. “If Luo Fu takes a liking to Yokohama, even you, Mr. Mori, will be powerless to resist.”
“But Luofu won’t do that,” Mori Ougai said.
Ozaki Kouyou raised an eyebrow: "So confident?"
"You wouldn't have reached some kind of agreement with Luo Fu behind our backs, would you?" Dazai Osamu felt there was a conspiracy involved.
Mori Ougai shrugged: "It's all for Yokohama."
Osamu Dazai: "So?"
"So, Dazai-kun and Chuuya-kun, go to school," Mori Ougai said with a smile. "Not an academy for superhumans, but an academy in Luofu."
