Genshin Impact: My villain system is a little different.

Jiang Ning's absorption made quite a disturbance, but Tenshukaku showed no reaction.

However, Jiang Ning was happy with this.

After a whole day's effort, the remnant soul gradually solidified. In Jiang Ning's consciousness, he could even see the sleeping Baal through the purple light screen.

Undeniably a very gentle god, just looking at her.

However... Jiang Ning stroked his chin.

Why did this Baal look so much like someone from his past?

That cooking housewife he kept on his ship.

Speaking of which, Teyvat had many familiar faces.

Just because Venti and Yae Miko's personalities were completely different from those two characters in his original Honkai game, not just different but entirely unlike.

So Jiang Ning wasn't too surprised.

Now meeting someone similar in both appearance and temperament, Jiang Ning wondered if the outside Abyss was actually the Honkai?

Or was it the Sea of Quanta?

But that wasn't his concern anymore.

Jiang Ning didn't return to Watatsumi Island, instead meeting Lumine directly in the Serenitea Pot.

Though protecting her, he didn't want to get too close to Watatsumi's resistance.

After feeding Lumine and Paimon, telling them to call him anytime - he could teleport over immediately.

Then he left the Serenitea Pot.

The following days were...

Farming, shopping with Keqing, evenings with Senior Sisters Shenhe and Ganyu.

Farming, chatting and building relationship with Keqing, evenings with Ningguang and Eula...

Yes, you read right - Ningguang and Eula started teaming up.

Now with four wives, the team combinations were quite strange.

Everyone started trying different team combinations, ultimately making Jiang Ning overjoyed.

Of course, the most outrageous time was five people.

Last night after intense battle, Jiang Ning felt refreshed, his whole body seeming to emit flowers.

Then next day, Ganyu took leave from Yuehai Pavilion, Shenhe from Wanmin Restaurant, Eula from the Millelith, Ningguang from the Qixing.

Others unaware thought it normal, but those who knew their relationships...

Zhongli showed a subtle smile, then looked at the carefree Restaurant Owner Hu, sighing regretfully.

Madame Ping showed a satisfied smile - at this rate, having descendants was just a matter of time...

As for Xianyun, who should be happy, somehow felt empty for unknown reasons.

Then Xianyun comforted herself saying it was caring for empty-nest elderly - the young one went playing without her, leaving her lonely.

"What's with you? Looking so happy?"

Keqing watched the blissful Jiang Ning, somehow feeling unhappy.

"Nothing, just thinking of happy things... What's wrong with your neck?"

Keqing said troubled: "Don't know, woke up feeling my neck very sore and painful, like something heavy was pressing on it."

"Probably slept wrong, it's fine, just rest."

Jiang Ning said: "That won't do... Let me."

Jiang Ning's palm surfaced with qilin's cryo element, helping ice compress Keqing's neck.

"Ah!"

The cold hand touching Keqing's neck made her unconsciously make an adorable sound.

Then seeming to remember the romantic moment practicing swords in the wild, Keqing's small face gradually reddened.

"There, how's that?"

Jiang Ning released his hand.

Keqing tentatively moved her neck, then said delightedly:

"It's better! Thank you."

Jiang Ning said: "With our relationship, need to say thanks?"

Keqing felt Jiang Ning's smiling eyes, her pretty face reddening as she looked away.

"Oh my, what relationship do you have with little Keqing? Leaving words half-said will get you kicked by donkeys."

Havria quietly emerged, saying.

Jiang Ning said: "Keqing, what do you think?"

Keqing felt flustered: "Don't, don't ask me, how would I know."

Havria said: "Keqing, you're usually so decisive, and this tsundere act is outdated. Now Jiang Ning has four people, probably more later. If you don't hurry, when Ningguang and Jiang Ning marry, you'll still want to be Ningguang's bridesmaid?"

Mentioning Ningguang at this moment had remarkable effect on Keqing.

Keqing's eyes instantly sharpened, her previous confusion transforming - the former decisive, capable Yuheng Keqing returned.

She directly grabbed Jiang Ning's hand, saying: "After returning, meet my parents with me. In your future weddings, no matter how many brides, there must be a place for me."

Jiang Ning was stunned by Keqing's sudden aggressiveness, stammering:

"O-okay..."

Then Keqing casually released his hand, saying:

"Alright, I have things to do, leaving first, do as you please..."

Saying this, she left Jiang Ning and Havria staring at each other.

But once outside, turning a corner, Keqing covered her face, silently crouching down.

Ahhhhh! What was I saying!

But... also settled a matter of the heart?

Keqing's face hidden behind her hands broke into a silly smile.

...

Havria told Jiang Ning: "Happy? Got little Keqing now."

Jiang Ning said: "Just average... cough"

Havria said: "I think when Morax chooses future Qixing, make them all female. That way, power would be highly concentrated."

Jiang Ning said: "Well said... but stop talking."

If really like that, the old man would probably deal with him.

"Wait... Lumine's calling for help?! What's she doing?"

Jiang Ning startled - hadn't sensed the Raiden Shogun leaving, what could force Lumine into desperate situation?

Not daring to delay, Jiang Ning directly locked onto Lumine's location, activating teleportation.

Arriving at a factory-like place, surrounded by divine resentment and Crystal Marrow.

Before Jiang Ning stood someone in Inazuman dress, judging by their joints, seemed like a... puppet?

Beside Lumine, Yae Miko saw Jiang Ning's arrival with surprise.

Seemed like a standoff situation...

However, this puppet looked strong, at least divine attendant level.

Yae Miko seemed planning to hand over a Gnosis - probably a trade?

Seems Yae Miko would slack off again - clearly could win but probably avoiding trouble by handing it over.

Seeking Gnosis, this puppet must be Fatui?

Seems a Harbinger too.

"Am I coming at a bad time?"

Jiang Ning fell silent, then spoke.

Seems without coming, Lumine wouldn't be in danger.

Yae Miko startled, then smilingly withdrew the Raiden Shogun's Gnosis, slowly saying:

"No, you're right on time... This person before you is the Sixth Fatui Harbinger, Scaramouche."

Now she wouldn't need to give up something for nothing.

"Who are you?"

The Fatui Harbinger, Scaramouche frowned, face full of hatred.

He was about to retrieve what belonged to him, but now someone interfered.

Jiang Ning said: "You ask me? Why should I tell you?"

Scaramouche snorted: "Sharp-tongued... So, will you hand it over, or must I take it?"

Yae Miko said: "Situation's different now, I don't want to give it..."

Paimon, seeming to find support, while tending unconscious Lumine, said:

"Jiang Ning, it's this guy, the Fatui Harbinger, using divine resentment to make Lumine like this, avenge her!"

Jiang Ning was puzzled: "Got it, I will... But is this guy not right in the head?"

Before someone suddenly appearing with unknown background, trying to snatch a Gnosis from a divine attendant?

Really not afraid of Beelzebul coming to beat him?

Surely no one thinks if Yae Miko's life was truly endangered, Ei wouldn't go berserk?

"Insignificant human, just an ordinary person, daring such words, I..."

"Mm, confirmed, not right in the head..."

Jiang Ning found Scaramouche's inexplicable anger and "you're all transgressors" attitude amusing.

Come on, don't you know how I just appeared, yet "ordinary person"...

"Would there be problems if I eliminate a Fatui Harbinger in Inazuma territory?"

Jiang Ning asked Yae Miko.

Yae Miko feigned lamentation: "Of course there are problems, this is a very serious diplomatic issue. But you willful lord, when have you ever cared about Inazuma's feelings?"

"Rather, this failed creation should have been destroyed long ago. If Ei hadn't softened her heart, I would've..."

"Shut your mouth!" Scaramouche, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, eyes filled with rage, electro energy surrounding him, charged straight at Yae Miko.

Yae Miko twisted her waist, leaving a Sesshou Sakura, hiding behind Jiang Ning, pretending to be scared:

"Oh my, how frightening, why resort to violence immediately? People nowadays, unwilling to hear truth?"

Jiang Ning became interested - there's drama here, not written in history books.

Seeing Scaramouche continuing to pursue, casually waving his hand, Scaramouche flew out before he could react.

"Tell me more."

Jiang Ning said.

Yae Miko smiled: "Then help dismantle this person, little one. Otherwise, there's no peaceful place to tell stories."

Jiang Ning stroked his chin, then said:

"That's simple..."

Speaking, he waved his hand, divine power enveloping four people, directly activating teleportation, while leaving also absorbing all divine resentment and divine remnants from Crystal Marrow.

Primarily as appearance fee.

Scaramouche, struggling from ruins, seeing empty factory, angrily started destroying everything.

"Damn it, escaped?! Next time, next time I'll make you bastards pay!"

...

Jiang Ning brought Yae Miko, Lumine and Paimon to the inn, startling Keqing - so many people?

What's happening?

"This is... the inn? Little one, you're quite capable. How did you do it? Teach sister?"

Yae Miko, somewhat regretful about not dismantling Scaramouche, still asked curiously.

Jiang Ning said: "Adeptal arts, not for outsiders. Also, mind your manners, you should call me brother-in-law."

Keqing also looked curiously at Yae Miko - this Raiden's attendant, Grand Narukami Shrine's Guuji, had such relationship with Jiang Ning?

But she didn't ask more, just said: "Want a reception room?"

Jiang Ning shook head: "No need... I'll wake Lumine first."

Paimon worried: "Will it be okay?"

Jiang Ning said: "No problem at all, just divine resentment?"

Speaking truth, his palm covered Lumine's forehead, starting absorption.

Soon, divine remnants were completely absorbed, Lumine's expression relaxing.

Yae Miko looked strangely at Jiang Ning, seeing him unchanged, energy barely fluctuating, becoming curious.

This new Liyue god absorbed divine remains without side effects?

Jiang Ning smiled at Yae Miko: "Though that guy's tone really annoyed me, but if you want me to kill him... trade something."

He didn't want to work for free, then just get a thank you... no, knowing this trash fox, probably wouldn't even get thanks.

Yae Miko looked regretful but said:

"Fine, what a shame, truly a puppet that shouldn't exist."

"Tell me what's going on. Seems you know him, Lady Guuji. And a puppet with divine attendant power surely wasn't made by ordinary people?"

Jiang Ning said.

Yae Miko pretended trouble: "But who just said we need to trade?"

Jiang Ning said: "Next meeting, I'll help you tear off an arm or leg."

"Deal."

The trash fox smiled, two people deciding the subject's limb ownership without his knowledge.

Paimon, seeing Lumine breathing steadily, relaxed, floating aside to sit, taking out an apple to eat.

Shame no melon, otherwise should eat melon now.

Yae Miko recalled, then began narrating.

A once pure white puppet, now blood-stained Scaramouche, a story from the past.

"It starts when Ei began pursuing eternity..."
