Genshin Impact: The Sage's Disciple Doesn't Want Fame

Incidentally, Qiqi doesn't dislike studying, but this little zombie girl has a rigid mindset. She can learn Liyue literature and history by rote memorization, but she's helpless when it comes to mathematics and the like.

For this reason, Qiqi repeatedly tried to coax Ji Ming, but Ji Ming had no say in the matter; the decision rested with his senior sister. The father and daughter had no say in the matter of studying.

I'm sorry, Qiqi, but if I were to plead with Senior Sister Ganyu on your behalf, your father would very likely have to study with you.

Ji Ming had absolutely no desire to learn numerology or anything like that.

Seeing Ji Ming deep in thought, Wendy was quite curious and waved her hand in front of him: "Ming, what are you thinking about?"

Ji Minghu mumbled, "I'll find a way to sell you off."

Ignoring Ji Ming's ramblings, Wendy had already figured out that the kid was just joking, so she naturally chose to play along.

Now it's different. He looks so gloomy. Wendy just wants to say, "Tell me the truth, let me cheer up."

Reaching out to pinch Wendy's cheek, Ji Ming said irritably, "You think you can be naughty? It's nothing really, don't worry about me, it's just some trivial matter."

Ji Ming was well aware of Wendy's feelings. Their usual way of getting along was through jokes, and neither of them would take it seriously. But if one of them got serious, the jokes would stop.

In the past few days, almost everyone who had contact with Ji Ming knew that Wendy had moved into the courtyard house. Even the old man Zhongli next door came over that very night to check on things, which was a bit funny.

Qiqi didn't seem to mind Wendy, this unexpected guest. In fact, they got along surprisingly well, and the wind sprite and the little zombie girl often went out to play.

Hu Tao and Xiang Ling weren't very familiar with Wendy; they had only visited her once. They didn't stay overnight, since there was a man who looked like a man in Ji Ming's house.

Because Wendy is very cute and can be considered androgynous, he is a man who is ostensibly male.

The two generals once thought that Ji Ming was gay, but they were persuaded by Grandpa Zhongli to give up the idea.

Yun Jin, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, also paid a visit. Her tone wasn't distant at all; on the contrary, it conveyed a sense of joy at our long-awaited reunion. She gave me a big hug as soon as we met and also greeted Wendy.

Gan Yu and Ke Qing didn't come. Both of them are getting busier and busier with work. Ke Qing hasn't even returned to Liyue Harbor for two months. Is this girl's workaholic nature getting even more serious? I need to find some time to go to Guili County to visit her.

In short, Wendy's arrival had no impact on them; she just wanted to see Ji Ming.

Wendy knew this too, but he didn't care. He just wanted to live off Ji Ming.

"Amin, are you short of money?"

"No, I still have some savings. It's more than enough to support a wind spirit like you."

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the pillow, and her face turned into a chubby bun: "That's good. I thought you were going to abandon me."

He wasn't actually worried about Ji Ming abandoning him; the kid wouldn't do such a thing, and Wendy wouldn't try to take advantage of him. He just felt that he wasn't the Wind God, and there was no point in staying in Mondstadt.

A wind spirit should act like a wind spirit. Occasionally, it takes a nap, and when it opens its eyes again, it will find itself in a completely new place, embarking on a brand new journey.

On second thought, traveling alone is so boring. Compared to the dullness of traveling without a fixed abode, Wendy prefers to stay in a comfortable environment, happily drinking and chatting every day.

Even wind spirits need a haven. Without a place to rest their souls, even the embodiment of a gentle breeze will eventually vanish without a trace.

With the deaths of his former friends and the invasion of the dragon Durin, Venti fell into a deep sleep for many years, which was his main way of avoiding wear and tear.

But now that she has Ji Ming, Wendy no longer thinks about sleeping or traveling. Isn't it better to happily live off Ji Ming?

As for wear and tear, as long as Ji Ming is around, it won't wear out.

Wendy made up her mind that she would never go anywhere else. She would follow Ji Ming wherever he went, even if it meant sleeping under a bridge.

There's no way around it, each wind sprite is actually quite clingy, the kind you can't get rid of no matter how hard you try.

Chapter 166 mvp engraves Maomao

Two more peaceful days passed, and with only half a month left until the annual Immortal Invitation Ceremony, news came from Keqing, who was far away in Guili County: the construction of the residential area in Guili County was completed, and the immigrant fleet had arrived.

Upon receiving this news, Ji Ming immediately prepared to set off. In accordance with his usual practice, he would travel light and quickly arrive in Guili County.

Things are different now. Ji Ming is now the God of Wind, and theoretically he can reach any place where the wind exists. He can reach Guili County in the time it takes to close and open his eyes.

Under Ji Ming's arrangement, his sworn brothers had already gone to the Old Nine Gates to familiarize themselves with the work, so he could set off alone.

As for the officials who were caught red-handed, they had already been escorted to Guili County to await their fate.

It's kind of funny when you think about it. The first thing built in Guili County wasn't residential areas or government offices, but a prison to hold corrupt officials.

The old Nine Gates were imprisoned before, but now corrupt officials are being imprisoned. Could this be considered a shift in the offensive?

Wendy and Qiqi also wanted to go out, but Ji Ming persuaded them not to. He was going to Guili County this time to stay for a long time, at least half a month.

For the next two weeks, Ji Ming will definitely have to stay at the yamen. Since Guili County is in the early stages of construction, the yamen is naturally quite simple, with only a courtroom for holding court and a large office at the back.

The office had several workstations, a typical workspace for animals. Ji Ming had been sleeping there for the past two weeks, so he didn't want Qi Qi and Wendy to come with him.

After calming down the tantrum-throwing wind sprite and rewarding the obedient Qiqi, Ji Ming teleported directly to the construction site in Guili County, successfully startling the cat-like creature wearing a work hat.

Ke Mao Mao looked completely dazed: "I haven't slept for three days, am I hallucinating?"

Ji Ming remained silent, standing there pretending to be an expert.

Reaching out, she patted Ji Ming's face. Feeling the real touch in her palm, Ke Mao Mao was furious: "Hey, since you're here, say a few words! What's wrong with not saying a word?"

Damn it! Although I don't know why Ji Ming suddenly appeared, his personality is just too awful. She works long hours to return to Guili County, and sleeps no more than five hours a day, and this guy comes here without saying a word?!

Heartless! Lecher! Thug!

Ke Qing tried her best to glare at Ji Ming, but two months of overwork made her look particularly tired, with dark circles around her eyes.

Ji Ming remained silent, standing there pretending to be an expert.

"Hey, how could you do this to me..."

The angry cat head turned into a wronged cat head. Keqing looked aggrieved and took a step closer, glaring at Ji Ming and saying, "At least say something that makes people happy..."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ji Ming suddenly made his move, hugging Ke Qing, who was on the verge of tears, and whispered in her ear, "This is what I owe you, Ke Qing."

Ke Qing's cheeks flushed as she struggled to her feet: "Of course you owe me, you can make it up to me next time, there's no need for this..."

Her lips were stubborn, but her body was very honest. Ke Qing quickly stopped struggling. Since there was no one around, she might as well take the opportunity to enjoy this warm hug.

Hugging Ji Ming tightly, Ke Qing, who always presented herself as a workaholic, almost forgot that she was a woman who occasionally needed to vent her emotions.

"Do you know that I've barely had any rest these past two months? Some workers were being disobedient and wanted more wages, so I used my own Mora to pay them upfront, just to speed up the construction of the Guili County project..."

All the complaints were about other unimportant people, things, or individuals. Ke Qing said a lot, but she didn't say a single bad word about Ji Ming.

But Ji Ming knew that Ke Qing did so much for his future, and that all the grievances she felt were also because of him.

Ji Ming listened silently, accepting Ke Qing's emotional outburst. This girl only needed to vent her emotions at the moment; doing too much would be futile. He only needed to hug Ke Qing.

"Since you're here, I'm not going to care about anything except construction work, okay? Really, I'm not going to care?"

Ke Maomao is still the same proud and aloof person. He says he's giving up and not caring, but he's probably still thinking about how to share the burden with him.

He gently nuzzled Ke Qing's hair and smiled, "There are some things I need to ask you. Use your spare time to rest. You've worked hard these past few days."

Ke Qing felt a little uncomfortable and snuggled gently against Ji Ming's chest before blushing quickly: "You seem like a different person. You weren't so gentle before."

"Actually, I've always been very gentle."

"That means you weren't gentle with me."

Despite her sharp tongue, Ke Qing nestled in Ji Ming's arms, laughing heartily. It seemed only Gan Yu could enjoy such treatment; she had even witnessed the two embracing in the office before.

I used to think the two of them were super lovey-dovey, but now that I think about it, Ke Qing sometimes wants to be lovey-dovey too. Hugging Ji Ming in a secluded place is actually a great way to relax.

Cats are like that; they need to be petted often to keep them happy.

Ke Qing asked herself honestly, and she realized that she might really have fallen for Ji Ming. She wasn't one to deceive herself; if she liked someone, she liked them, and if she didn't, she didn't.

If you didn't like it, why did you let Ji Ming take the red cloth shoes in the first place?

If you don't like it, why do you keep going to Ji Ming's house as a guest, especially under the pretext of "visiting Bai Tang"?

If she didn't like it, why show her true self to Ji Ming? In other people's eyes, she was always poised and generous, but in Ji Ming's eyes, she was arrogant and haughty.

If you don't like it, why are you hugging each other now? You could just slap them.

If you like someone, you like them. Ke Qing is never coy about these things. She really has fallen for a gang member, someone she used to hate.

If you like someone, then you like them. Maybe you already had feelings for them back then at the Bronze Sparrow Temple after the rain, but you just didn't realize it until later.

I peeked up and thought, "Ugh, this guy's smile is disgusting. It's true what they say, old habits die hard. Men are just lustful. It was just a simple hug, was it really necessary to smile so happily?"

Touching her own face, well, she was smiling too, but not as disgustingly as Ji Ming's. Miss Ke Qing was naturally beautiful, so letting Ji Ming hold her was already a bargain for him.

However, this guy is quite cute; he'll keep smiling if you hug him.

You still owe me so much.

"How do you want me to repay you?"

Ke Qing thought for a moment, then smiled sweetly: "Lower your head."

Ji Ming subconsciously looked down, only to see Ke Qing tiptoeing and kissing him with her eyes closed.

Contrary to expectations, their teeth clashed, and Ke Qing snapped, "Are you an idiot?!"

"It's not my fault, Keqing kissed me herself..."

"It's all your fault... Huh?!"

Feeling the gentle kiss, Ke Qing's cheeks flushed, and she slumped into Ji Ming's arms, closing her eyes and letting him take what he wanted.

Okay, given that sincere kiss, Keqing decided to forgive him.
