After putting Fischl into the tent, Xu Guang came to Ke Qing's side and asked her a question.
Ke Qing simply shook her head.
"Can't sleep."
"Because of the evil dragon?"
Hearing what the other person said, Ke Qing smiled and shook her head.
Asking knowingly.
What else could be keeping her awake at this hour? It can't be because she's desperately horny and is waiting outside.
Xu Guang shrugged: "If that's how you think, then so be it. Anyway, I have nothing to do right now and I have extra energy."
Ke Qing sneered and shook her head: "Forget it, if you're still angry, the others would love for you to come over."
Xu Guang raised an eyebrow, wondering what was wrong with this guy this time?
So he walked up to the other person and asked condescendingly, "What have I done to upset you this time?"
Ke Qing took a step back, looking a little awkward under that gaze.
"No……"
She just...
I'm just a little unhappy.
After all, once she learned what kind of person this guy was, she didn't have high expectations.
Even if the ruins collapse, nothing will be found; it is the slightest improvement that can evoke emotion.
There's a reason behind the saying "a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold."
People are always like this.
We are too harsh on good people. If they do something bad, they should be condemned to the pillory of shame. But for bad people, as long as they don't do evil, everything will be fine.
Therefore, Xu Guang never intended to be a good person.
It's exhausting, and you don't even get any credit for it.
However, Ke Qing felt inexplicably jealous.
There are always some thoughts, such as her arriving first.
Although Teyvat is very different from the previous world, some of the countries still retain the characteristics of the countries in the previous world.
Specifically, Liyue's side not only has Sages and Yakshas, but also a certain degree of conservatism.
Ke Qing knew that she would never find a lifelong partner, but seeing the other person like this, it was understandable that she felt a little emotional.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that many characters do have emotions, they just don't express them.
Then comes the gradual acceptance of it.
Xu Guang was somewhat regretful about his previous crude methods. Looking at Ke Qing's expression, he could understand her thoughts even without the status bar.
However, this kind of question certainly cannot be answered directly.
So he changed the subject.
"What do you plan to do after defeating the evil dragon?"
Keqing paused, sighed, and then replied, "Of course I'm going back to Liyue Harbor and then to work. I've been skipping work for quite a few days this time, and Ningguang must be unhappy about it."
It makes sense. Your colleagues go on vacation while you have to work hard at your desk. It's no wonder you feel dissatisfied.
However, Ningguang is also known for prioritizing the overall situation.
They certainly won't say anything.
Xu Guang nodded: "In that case, I'll take you back then."
Ke Qing shook her head: "Just open the door for me, you should take your confidantes back."
Xu Guang smiled and said, "Don't you count?"
Ke Qing pouted: "That's quite an honor. I thought I was just a tool for you to vent your frustrations."
This is angry talk.
Although Xu Guang is indeed not a good person, he has promoted the idea of Liyue being governed by people in a considerable way, and has saved many people.
Without the other party, she dared not even imagine how many people would have died just because of the Whirlpool Demon God.
Not to mention that Xu Guang later helped the soldiers guarding the border.
Chapter 426: Meeting
Xu Guang looked at Ke Qing's expression and reached out his hand.
There was a glimmer of light in his palm.
"To be honest, I thought you'd be a little excited. After all, it's about defeating an evil dragon, which is a great achievement and can save a lot of people."
Ke Qing looked at the light and discovered it was a ring.
Judging from its shape, it shouldn't be the kind worn on the thumb.
Then she heard Xu Guang continue speaking.
"Please accept this, it's a small gift."
Ke Qing reluctantly accepted the gift, but didn't put it on: "What's wrong? Feeling guilty?"
Xu Guang laughed out loud: "When did I ever have a conscience?"
Ke Qing was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, she overlooked that point.
The other party's style of acting entirely based on likes and dislikes shows no conscience whatsoever.
Feeling no longer burdened, he stretched and headed into the tent.
"Alright, alright, thank you for spending so much time working on that girl and chatting with me. Go to sleep now, we have important things to do tomorrow."
Ke Qing said she didn't care, but she took it to heart.
She definitely has to do the task of slaying the evil dragon.
Of course, it wasn't for any empty fame, but to save lives.
Liyue and Mondstadt are neighbors, and with the recent exchanges of merchants and travelers, the relationship between the two countries has improved considerably.
Some things are naturally exchanged between each other.
She knew about the evil dragon; many people died because of it back then, and it even corrupted one of the Four Winds Guardians, causing immeasurable harm.
If that monster were to truly reveal its claws, Liyue would certainly not be able to remain calm and collected; it would inevitably suffer a severe blow.
This is something Ke Qing doesn't want to see.
She is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, so it is her duty to protect Liyue.
Seeing that Ke Qing was about to leave, Xu Guang asked casually.
"Do you think there's any possibility that this evil dragon could be exonerated?"
Ke Qing didn't know the term "whitewashing" before, but after spending so much time with Xu Guang, she could roughly guess its meaning.
Keqing raised an eyebrow and turned around: "What are you thinking? This evil dragon has a blood feud with Mondstadt. When the pollution outbreak happened, countless people died at its hands. Saying that every family was in mourning is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's close enough."
Xu Guang nodded.
Then I watched them go back.
When no one was around to disturb him, he took a step back, and space folded. This step was almost like teleportation. Xu Guang arrived at the cave where Du Lin lived and looked at the beating heart.
"You heard it too, they have a deep-seated prejudice against you, and it's impossible for you to clear your name with me. You'd better just die once, and then I'll merge you with that part of the power, and that will count as surviving."
After his heart pounded a few times, a phantom image of a small black dog jumped out and came to Xu Guang's side, its face full of flattery.
"I will obey your orders, Master."
Heaven knows how a dog could make that expression, but Dulin went to great lengths to survive.
It had no other choice.
Having finally mustered some strength, I set aside a portion to check on Mondstadt's current situation, only to encounter a strange little girl who single-handedly blocked most of its spiritual power.
That's nothing.
In the end, it doesn't matter if there are a few capable people. Wasn't the knight who beheaded it back then also capable?
As a result, they got involved with something evil.
They were pinned down like ants, forced to follow the other party's script, or they would die.
What can it do?
It's definitely impossible to beat.
We had no choice but to give in.
Then that part of his power was completely gone, and he was turned into a dog to accompany a little girl on her adventure.
What kind of suffering is this among dragons!
I was thinking of letting it go, since nothing happened to the main body anyway.
It had made up its mind to stay quietly on the snow and gradually build up its strength.
then……
From a pet dog to a watchdog.
Don't laugh.
Even now, it still hasn't figured out what kind of person this guy in front of it really is.
At least the watchdog has improved.
As a result, the other party, for some unknown reason, brought a group of people to attack it, one of whom was the little girl it had faced before.
This startled and frightened it, and it tried several times to contact Xu Guang to see what his attitude was.
I wonder if this is a case of killing the dog after it has done its work, since it has been fulfilling its duties as a pet dog quite well lately.
It could be said that it would cooperate with whatever the little girl wanted.
We can't let someone be killed on trumped-up charges.
As a result, the other party not only did not accept its message, but also disappeared for several days, which exacerbated its inner unease.
Imagine a group of people near your house plotting how to kill you.
You cannot resist yet.
Thankfully, we finally met today.
What the other party said was indeed correct.
It has committed many crimes, and the Mondstadt people cannot pretend that nothing happened.
So whether it becomes a pet or acts along, it's willing.
As long as you can survive.
It's just a temporary state of suspended animation, nothing serious.
Seeing that Du Lin's attitude was good, Xu Guang nodded slightly and then said.
"You don't need to worry too much. As long as you atone for your sins in the future, you will have a chance to become a dragon again."
The dead cannot be brought back to life.
Xu Guang's control console is indeed very powerful; it can bring the dead back to life and manipulate the rules.
However, there must be a basic principle to follow in everything.
So many people died in Mondstadt, without names or much information left in the world; in the story, they are only given a vague number.
Reviving it will definitely require a lot of effort.
He has no intention of becoming the Virgin Mary, so let's just leave it at that.
