Ye Lan said, "Give me some time, I'll have someone go and get it."
"Then forget it." Lin Jiu'an was about to leave.
Ye Lan suddenly remembered the important matter: "Ning Guang wants to see you."
"Oh."
Seeing that Lin Jiu'an didn't react and was still packing his things to leave, Ye Lan asked, "Aren't you going to see her?"
"It's her business if she wants to see me, and it's my business whether I see her or not."
Lin Jiu'an paused suddenly as he spoke, and then a slight smile appeared on his lips as if he had just remembered something.
"How about we change the stakes and make another bet?"
"What are we betting on?" Ye Lan asked.
"If I lose, I'll go with you to see Ningguang."
"If you lose,..."
······
Qunyu Pavilion.
Ningguang stared at Yelan standing in front of her in silence for a very long time.
"so."
"Is this why you didn't bring Lin Jiu'an back?"
"Ah."
Ye Lan remained calm, as if she wasn't the one who hadn't completed the mission.
Ningguang's head started to hurt.
"I understand, you can leave now."
Watching Ye Lan's departing figure, Ning Guang rubbed her temples in exasperation.
It's not that I'm worried about Ye Lan not completing the mission, but rather that I'm worried about Ye Lan not completing the mission.
in short.
She had already raised Lin Jiu'an's dangerousness level to a very high level, but she didn't expect him to be able to change so much.
If it comes to gambling, even she wasn't confident of defeating Ye Lan, who was a born gambler who was obsessed with and addicted to gambling. But Lin Jiu'an was now able to make Ye Lan lose every time she did what she did best.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Ningguang murmured to herself, and the image of that boy seemed to appear before her eyes, making her inexplicably irritable.
Especially after seeing the news at noon that he was "having a pleasant conversation with 'Ms.', the executive officer of the Fools' Clan, and Zhongli, the guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth."
After a while, with the cold wind blowing in through the window, Ningguang gradually calmed down.
She knew what she had to do now.

PS: As for updates, I should update three times a week from Monday to Thursday next week, because the book will be released next Friday, and I need to reach 120,000 words before Friday, and also build up some drafts.
I thought CWM still followed the old process of getting three recommendations before being listed, but I didn't expect a bunch of daily 10,000 views to be listed in less than two weeks. Is this some kind of game-changer?
Chapter Four: Even a simp is a dog!
After leaving the Yanshang Tea House, Lin Jiu'an put Ye Lan's matter out of his mind.
He and Rosalin ate dishes from their "hometown" and drank wine from another "hometown" at the Liuli Pavilion. When the moon was high in the sky and the night was deep, they parted ways and he went home alone.
That was the house he had just bought, a yard with a view of the sea from the bedroom window.
Upon entering the courtyard, Lin Jiu'an, who was quite drunk, paused slightly before walking back to his bedroom as usual.
Upon opening the bedroom door, one sees a figure sitting in a chair by the window.
The pure white moonlight shone on her, making her skin appear even whiter and smoother against the backdrop of her pale gold cheongsam.
Seeing the elegant and alluring mature woman who suddenly appeared in his room, like a fairy under the moon, Lin Jiu'an closed the door as if he hadn't seen her. Then he walked to the freezer, took out a bottle of wine, and took a sip to sober up.
"Lin Jiu'an."
Seeing that Lin Jiu'an was about to take off his clothes and get into bed, Ningguang finally couldn't help but speak up.
"Ok?"
Lin Jiu'an then looked at her, tilting his head as if to ask, "What's wrong?"
Why won't you come to see me?
Ningguang's tone carried a hint of resentment.
If we hadn't reached an irreversible crossroads...
She didn't want things to get too tense with the other party.
The dictatorship and killing displayed by the other party in Mondstadt also showed that their ideology had changed from that of their previous life.
Most importantly, the abilities the other party demonstrated in those events and the gambling with Ye Lan made her lack confidence in dealing with them easily, and 'harmony brings wealth' is always the best approach.
But the next moment.
Ningguang was somewhat taken aback by the other party's 'Are you sick?' gaze.
"I'm sorry for what happened in my past life."
"I apologize to you."
"Oh."
The bland reply made Ningguang a little flustered, but it was something she had expected.
Can we go back to how things were before?
"Once upon a time?"
Lin Jiu'an looked at Ningguang with a strange gaze.
What were they like before?
Thinking of his past life, Lin Jiu'an felt like laughing.
No wonder he was completely fooled by the women in his past life.
Although his greatest pleasure, whether in his past life or this one, has always been women, Lin Jiu'an felt that there might have been something wrong with him in his past life.
Even sycophants praise him.
His favorite was actually Gan Yu.
The reason is also very simple.
The other person's appearance, personality, and personality matched his XP, nothing more.
In his previous life, Gan Yu was the only character he managed to max out by spending real money, which left a deep impression on him.
So at the beginning of his transmigration, Lin Jiu'an was actually after Gan Yu.
Unfortunately, some men's penises are always bigger than their penises. In his past life, he was attracted to Qin after seeing her face, buttocks, and long legs.
There's not much to say about what happened in Mondstadt after that.
After leaving Mondstadt, he rekindled his original aspirations.
Unfortunately, the rain was too 'cold'.
As a Qilin who has lived in Liyue for thousands of years, she has seen all kinds of people. With her appearance, figure and status, there are naturally countless men who have pursued her over the past thousand years.
She was polite to everyone, but that was all.
In order to get closer to her, Lin Jiu'an naturally approached Ning Guang, and as they got to know each other, he began to consider her a close friend.
Later, I talked to her about my views on Liyue, which were the four questions I had mentioned to Zhongli.
As for the reaction of condensation...
Lin Jiu'an now finds it all laughable.
She completely agreed with his idea.
He also indicated that he would transfer some of his legislative power to him and give his full support to his reforms.
Also under the moon, in the Jade Pavilion, a tall, beautiful, and noble older woman takes your hand and says things like, "I believe in you," and "Let's work together to make Liyue a better place."
Then he fell in love with someone else.
Think about it now.
Before that, Ningguang's intentional or unintentional flirting and afterwards, the other party's intentional or unintentional distancing.
Furthermore, the "partial" at that time, and the public announcement of "Morax's appointment" when the legislative power was handed over to him, etc., clearly laid the groundwork for kicking him out after the goal was achieved.
And the result is quite obvious.
Despite enduring the misunderstanding, doubts, and even countless assassination attempts from the people and merchants of Liyue, he persevered.
They kept pushing forward with legislative reforms, aiming to completely separate the powers of commerce, government, and the military.
The problem surfaced one day.
Ningguang, unsurprisingly, made him a scapegoat and kicked him out, just like Chao Cuo.
But now that I think about it carefully...
The legislation he reformed at that time.
Except for a few.
Many of these are beneficial to Ningguang, the "Tianquan Star" and the "richest woman in Liyue".
Afterwards, as he was expelled from Liyue, Ningguang, in order to quell public anger, unsurprisingly deleted that 'part' that had nothing to do with her. Lin Jiu'an from his previous life did not want to think about that painful memory.
Now think about it carefully...
Ningguang probably already had her eye on this idiot simp when he was causing trouble in Mondstadt.
She might be surprised to find out how easily she could be fooled after she got her hands on him.
“Do you like dogs?”
Ningguang paused for a moment, but still replied, "I wouldn't say I like it, but I don't dislike it either."
"Feel sorry."
"I can't get along with people who don't like eating dog meat."
Even Ningguang couldn't immediately grasp the meaning behind Lin Jiu'an's three seemingly nonsensical sentences.
"I can like dogs...and eat dog meat."
Ningguang's beautiful red eyes held a deep sense of apology, as well as a hint of hidden emotion that was hard to discern as genuine.
"I know I did many wrong things in my past life and hurt you deeply."
"I regretted it after you left."
“Whenever the night is quiet, I think of the time we spent together in Qunyu Pavilion, and I regret the decision I made back then.”
“I admit that I had ulterior motives when I approached you in the first place, but now I really regret it.”
"Can you forgive me?"
Listening to Ningguang's seemingly true yet false words, Lin Jiu'an remained noncommittal. It wasn't impossible that Ningguang truly had feelings for him.
After all, you can develop feelings for a dog after raising it for a long time, so even a licking dog is still a dog.
What? A simp isn't a dog? What gives you the right to disqualify a simp from being a dog?!
"What are you saying all of a sudden?"
Lin Jiu'an yawned, then looked at her with a puzzled expression.
He asked, "Ms. Ningguang, are we very familiar with each other?"
Chapter 5 Do you just want me dead?
Looking at Lin Jiu'an's expression, which seemed to suggest that she was clueless.
