Genshin Impact: My villain system is a little different.

"What did you throw over there?"

Havria asked, puzzled, watching Jiang Ning walking on the street, humming happily.

She just saw Jiang Ning write something, tie it to an arrow tail, then shoot it directly at Kujou Sara's camp.

Jiang Ning said: "Good stuff. See, this Kujou Sara completely loyal to the Raiden Shogun - how would she react knowing her family has traitors colluding with Fatui? Really looking forward to it."

"So I just quietly revealed our robbery location to Kujou Sara. If she goes, she'll see - I even left one-third of the Crystal Marrow bonus there."

Havria said: "Aren't you thinking too simply? The Kujou clan can easily use 'Fatui came robbing, Kujou clan is victim' excuse to brush it off."

Jiang Ning said: "That's why I'm actively reporting. When we rob their trading spots more, doubts will eventually be sown. Besides, though blindly loyal, that Kujou Sara isn't stupid."

Havria said: "Just enjoy watching from behind."

Jiang Ning said: "Isn't this good? It's also that fox's idea. I took payment after all, can't not work - who made me a god of contract nation?"

Havria sighed, wondering how steady Morax taught such a disciple.

[Host, you're too kind. I say kidnapping, murder, arson, framing - let's do it all. Besides, these Inazuma girls are quite charming...]

The System chuckled.

Jiang Ning speechless: "Is that how to use 'charming'? Compared to you, I'm a saint."

"But... well said, do you have any so-called plans?"

System righteous: [None! Shouldn't host consider that?]

"No plan then shut up."

[Okay.]

Returning to inn, Keqing saw Jiang Ning, face brightening, approaching to chat, but smelled blood on him.

Keqing frowned: "Killed again?"

Jiang Ning said: "Yeah, just some who deserved death... What? Keqing, you'll manage?"

Keqing said: "Not that, mainly you're a god now, can't handle everything yourself, right? If needed tell me, I'll do it."

Jiang Ning looked at Keqing subtly, then said: "Honestly, Keqing, you've changed a lot... Before, you'd definitely scold me, say this isn't appropriate."

Keqing's pretty face reddened: "It's different now... Before was before, now is now."

Before as Qixing, god's subordinate, she'd remind her god not to be too willful.

But now, deciding to follow Jiang Ning for life, naturally prioritize his thoughts.

Simply put, if Jiang Ning wants to kill, she hands knife; if Jiang Ning wants to be willful, she cleans up.

Since coming to Teyvat, Jiang Ning's been spoiled.

With villain system boost, not becoming world-ending demon lord yet is thanks to Morax's education and Jiang Ning's good character.

Jiang Ning said: "Right, Keqing, don't let everyone go out recently. Probably Inazuma won't be peaceful soon. Maybe divine war coming. Also, if I really fight Raiden Shogun, immediately retreat with everyone to outlying island port."

"I've sent message to Sister Beidou's Alcor, should be active around Inazuma outskirts this period."

Hearing possible fight with Raiden Shogun, Keqing worried:

"Will it be okay? Is something big happening? Though insignificant before gods, I can share some pressure for you."

Jiang Ning said: "Nothing big, relax. Never mind that I think I can match Raiden Shogun now, worst case I can still run. If really needed, I have helpers to call."

Not just his old Zhongli, Mondstadt's drunkard also waits for him to grow up and help handle Mondstadt's divine resentment and Abyss.

Keqing slightly relieved: "That's good... But remember, absolutely don't be reckless. Liyue's development still needs you."

Jiang Ning teased: "Just Liyue's development?"

Keqing, face slightly red, said softly: "I can't be without you either."

Jiang Ning very satisfied with Keqing's words. Good, worthy of straightforward Yuheng - though shy, still spoke her heart...

Hehe, wife Keqing so cute.

"Lady Keqing, Lord Jiang Ning, Kamisato Clan's young lady, Kamisato Ayaka from Yashiro Commission is visiting."

As the two were lovey-dovey, a diplomat from Yuehai Pavilion secretariat came reporting.

She saw her top boss and her boss's top god embracing, looking affectionate, showing an aunt-like smile.

Ningguang's side friends were arrogant because Lady Ningguang and Lord Jiang Ning were together, but now different - our Keqing's side is rising too!

After returning, must brag hard before those people.

But now more important is guest's visit.

Keqing frowned, instantly returning to work mode, whole person calming:

"Oh? Kamisato Clan's young lady coming now, what for? Never mind, I'll go immediately. Have front people entertain well first."

"Yes, Lady Keqing."

Diplomat left, Keqing twisted her slender yet elastic willow waist, reluctantly leaving Jiang Ning's embrace, then said:

"Alright, I'm starting work, can't accompany you."

Jiang Ning held Keqing's hand: "I'll go with you. Just right, want to see what this Kamisato young lady is like, casually tricking Lumine to join resistance."

Keqing thought: "Alright... Let's go together then."

...

Front hall, Kamisato Ayaka sat properly, eyes lowered, matching afternoon leisure, like a painting.

But for some reason, Ayaka's expression seemed distracted, quite absent-minded.

Only when footsteps approached did Ayaka wake as if from dream, organizing thoughts and expression, preparing to welcome Yuheng.

But seeing Jiang Ning holding hands with Yuheng, her smile obviously froze, then showed nervousness.

Jiang Ning's heart moved - this girl knows my identity?

In all Inazuma now, only Yae Miko knows my identity. Seems Kamisato Clan and Yae Miko have deep relationship.

"Miss Keqing, and... Lord Jiang Ning, hello. I'm Kamisato Ayaka from Yashiro Commission's Kamisato Clan. First meeting, please guide me."

Clearly, Ayaka was nervous. Jiang Ning curiously asked:

"Yae Miko told you my identity?"

Ayaka pursed her cherry lips, then said: "Yes, Lady Guuji feared I'd offend a god, so specially instructed me..."

Jiang Ning smiled: "It's fine, I'm not a god who kills for no reason. I'm very friendly, relax."

Ayaka smiled awkwardly, Keqing glared at Jiang Ning.

Mm, friendly to his own people, but to outsiders, simply king of demon kings.

Ayaka recalled seeing in wild, after Jiang Ning acted and left, Nobushi and monster camps were horrifyingly miserable.

Even Ayaka, who'd seen blood and killed monsters and bandits, paled, stomach churning.

Honestly, Ayaka still couldn't connect that cruelly brutal person with this seemingly neighbor's little brother before her.

"So, Miss Kamisato coming today, is there something?"

Keqing cut straight to point, interrupting greetings.

Used to Keqing's directness these days, Ayaka hurriedly said:

"Actually nothing much. First to inform Liyue's people, Kanjou Commission's compensation is ready."

This time Tenryou Commission seemed to side with Yashiro Commission, seemingly wanting to quickly send Liyue away.

So things went very smoothly.

But Ayaka felt there must be something unknown here, her brother Kamisato Ayato thought so too.

"Secondly... About Miss Lumine's matter, must apologize to everyone. Originally I just wanted Lumine's help with few things, but backfired, letting Lumine sink deeper into this whirlpool."

Ayaka's self-blame wasn't fake, but Jiang Ning just listened.

After all, regardless of your initial intentions good or bad, or truly wanting to befriend Lumine.

But now Lumine's in danger because of you, so as friend, you're definitely unqualified. No matter what, even unintentionally, you used this friend.

Of course, Lumine's own sense of justice and kindness played large part.

Can only say, Ayaka had no bad intentions, but Inazuma has many bad people.

"Regarding this, I'll ensure Lumine's safety, after all..."

Jiang Ning paused, not continuing, making Ayaka puzzled.

After all, if Lumine really had accident in Inazuma, probably Inazuma would be gone too.

Lumine's brother isn't vegetarian.

So, is there such a good person like me? For Inazuma not to be destroyed, actually working so hard.

Honestly, Jiang Ning felt Yae Miko should kowtow to him.

"That's good, thank you Lord Jiang Ning."

Ayaka bowed respectfully.

"Alright, anything else?"

Jiang Ning waved hand. Though Ayaka was also a noble lady, exceptionally beautiful, hadn't Jiang Ning seen many exceptionally beautiful women?

So he didn't show particularly amazed expression.

Ayaka said: "Two days later, Kamisato Clan will have small banquet at Kamisato Estate. Hope Miss Yuheng and Lord Jiang Ning can honor us with presence."

"Banquet scale isn't large, just my brother, Lady Guuji, and Lumine."

Jiang Ning's expression strange - how long has Lumine behaved to dare come to Inazuma City? And wasn't she still in anti-Raiden Shogun special training?

But Jiang Ning still nodded: "Okay, we'll definitely attend."

Ayaka smiled, relieved: "Then Kamisato Clan awaits your honored presence."

After saying this, exchanged few more pleasantries, then bid farewell.

After Ayaka left, Keqing couldn't help asking:

"This definitely isn't ordinary banquet. I guess must have meaning. You really want to go?"

Jiang Ning said: "Let's go, Lumine's going anyway. Right, Keqing, what do you think of this Kamisato young lady?"

Keqing looked at Jiang Ning suspiciously: "You haven't taken fancy to her, right?"

"What are you thinking? How many times have I even met her?" Jiang Ning said irritably, "Besides, is this my image in your heart?"

Keqing also embarrassed: "No..."

Jiang Ning felt very wronged. Since coming to Teyvat he'd only had three instances of seeing beauty and having thoughts... no, love at first sight.

First when rescued by his senior sister, second meeting Keqing who prompted his transmigration, multi-gold ten-pull, and third...

Embarrassingly, seeing his master's human form.

Havria silently appeared: "You're all going to banquet, what about me? I want good food too."

Keqing said: "Don't worry, we'll bring some for you..."

Jiang Ning said: "No need, Sister Havria can come with us. Same old method, I'll send things to Serenitea Pot when others aren't paying attention."

Havria smiled: "That's good."

Havria continued: "Oh also, Jiang Ning, Baal should wake soon. Probably tonight or tomorrow. Be prepared, best get some divine resentment ready."

Jiang Ning nodded slightly: "I know, I can feel Baal's aura getting more solid. Long prepared."

Keqing confused: "What, Baal? Is it Raiden Shogun? But isn't Raiden Shogun's divine name Beelzebul?"

Jiang Ning said: "Tomorrow, come to Serenitea Pot, you'll know."
