Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

Lisa's heartbeat quickened, and her voice became a little hoarse.

"I do not know."

Qin smiled bitterly, "It's like I don't know whether he saved me because of my mother or because of something else."

The other party probably just needs a suitable opportunity to make a move without making the Mondstadt people think they've become too powerful, and you just happen to be a very useful subordinate.

Lisa didn't answer, but instead asked, "So?"

Qin said, "I want to ask him what he really thinks of me and my mother."

Lisa hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question that was on her mind.

"If, I mean if."

“He just saw your mother as a useful…” Lisa paused, then said tactfully, “a tool.”

"If you offer yourself to him, he won't refuse, but he will definitely not give you the love you want. What would you do?"

Qin fell silent.

······

Lin Jiu'an felt that his elements had become somewhat strange.

The various elements, which originally had their own roles, began to mutate after using the power given to them by Zhongli on the day they dealt with the "Vortex Demon God," which could be described as "divine power."

And on that day, when the Abyss Apostles were dealt with.

It used the power of Barbatos and Morax, and absorbed the elements and life force of the Abyss Apostles.

Lin Jiu'an felt as if his body had become a hodgepodge.

His "Evil Eye" can use jet-black flames by "burning life force".

to be honest.

That flame was the color he burned by drawing life force from others.

But Lin Jiu'an discovered this in the past few days.

The "life force" of the evil eye within him, the "abyssal elements" absorbed by the abyssal apostles, and the "divine power" of Morax and Barbatos were already showing signs of mixing together.

As a result, his black fire became less effective.

However, as compensation...

Lin Jiu'an discovered that he could use that mixed power to greatly enhance the "wind" and "rock" he already possessed, somewhat like a weakened version of the state he was enhanced by Morax and Barbatos.

In his previous life, Lin Jiu'an only absorbed seven elements.

Whether it's "abyss," "vitality," or "divine power," it's because of fear of death, or because of good intentions that people die but their heads fall to the ground, or because they had no chance.

In short, he never possessed any of these three powers.

He had been trying to figure out the reason for this strange change for several days, but he couldn't.

Just as Lin Jiu'an was pondering the power within his body, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open.

Lin Jiu'an looked up and was somewhat surprised.

The person who came was Lisa.

He remembered that he hadn't seen Lisa for a long time, probably after the Margaret's Tavern burned down. Although they had met a few times since then, it was only by chance in the corridor or outside, and sometimes they didn't even greet each other.

Lisa came to see him specifically; it was the first time since then.

"What's up?"

"I want to talk to you about your relationship with Frederica."

"What to talk about?"

“I’d like to give it a try, but I have two conditions.”

"explain."

"You can't stop me from leaving when it's time for me to go."

Lisa no longer knows what she's thinking.

She knew she was like a moth drawn to a flame.

But after hearing Qin talk about Lin Jiu'an and Frederica, she was indeed tempted.

Perhaps they also harbored the same naive fantasy as Qin: 'What if?'

It's also possible that she simply had nothing else to do and wanted to create a not-so-pleasant but at least fruitful memory with this man who had left a deep impression on her in the past.

Since I don't have any other men I like, it's never a bad thing to give it a try, right?

Lin Jiu'an remained noncommittal: "And the second one?"

"You can't let Qin find out about our relationship, at least not actively when you can cover it up."

Lisa's two conditions were the same as her actively seeking him out and letting him take advantage of her for free.

Lin Jiu'an really had no reason to refuse. He didn't have a girlfriend, so why would he be crazy not to take advantage of such a free meal?

"can."

Lisa revealed that familiar, charming smile of an older sister.

"Then I'll wait for you at home tonight."

"no need."

Under Lisa's questioning gaze, Lin Jiu'an said, "Didn't you not want Qin to know?"

"Going to your house in the middle of the night would only make it easier to be exposed."

"Let's just leave it here."

······

Her clothes were pulled down to her waist, her skirt was lifted up, and her black stockings were torn to shreds.

She was covered in fragrant sweat, her beautiful eyes were glazed over, and her breathing was hot and rapid.

Holding Lin Jiu'an's head, she looked at her reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window behind the table.

Lisa felt like she was probably going crazy.

She really didn't understand why she was giving herself away here, especially to this man who probably wouldn't give her a future, but after a brief period of loss and confusion, she felt a sense of satisfaction in forgetting everything.

Just as Lisa was immersed in this unprecedented sexual bliss.

'Tap tap.'

Lisa groaned softly, biting her lower lip to control her breathing.

"Who?" Lin Jiu'an's voice was low and hoarse.

"It is I, Speaker. I have some work to report to you."

Lisa, who had been relatively calm and even somewhat excited, suddenly showed a hint of panic and her whole body tensed up.

That's the sound of a zither!

Lin Jiu'an originally wanted Qin to leave.

But Lisa's sudden change made him gasp, especially feeling her flustered movements, which made Lin Jiu'an change his mind.

"Just wait a moment."

"Ok."

Lisa looked at Lin Jiu'an with a mixture of surprise and resentment. Didn't this bastard just agree to her request?

Under Lisa's disapproving gaze, Lin Jiu'an pointed to the area under the table.

His office desk was a standard office desk with a spacious legroom underneath, and a large partition behind it, so that you couldn't see under the desk unless you were standing next to or behind him.

Lisa immediately understood Lin Jiu'an's meaning, and couldn't help but grit her teeth in resentment. This guy was sure she didn't want Qin to find out!

But she just couldn't do anything about this scoundrel.

Lisa was too ashamed to let Qin know.

She had just had a heart-to-heart talk with me, telling me about her and her mother out of trust.

As a result, right after she finished drinking, while she was at work, he came to Lin Jiu'an and offered himself as a bedmate.

and.

She could completely control this guy's personality back then.

With his current temperament, there's no way to control him.

Lisa felt that if she was even slightly arrogant or verbally provoked him, he would teach her a lesson and make her realize who the "father" really was.

finally.

Lisa had no choice but to obediently hide under the table.

"come in."

Qin did not notice anything unusual.

The window was open, and a faint scent filled the air, but Qin assumed it was from her mother, Frederica, who had just visited.

I sat across from him and earnestly reported my work to him.

After listening to the report, Lin Jiu'an asked, "Is there anything else?"

"And about the Knights' maid, Noelle."

"Her performance in the Abyss Disaster and the subsequent reconstruction efforts was outstanding, earning unanimous praise from staff and Mondstadt citizens. I believe she deserves to be promoted to 'Official Knight.'"

After Lin Jiu'an established the West Wind Council.

The Knights of Favonius, which originally held immense power and functioned much like a government department, had most of their authority reduced.

The Knights of Favonius are now a purely military force.

The police department, headed by Kaeya, is responsible for daily security matters within Mondstadt.

The Knights of Favonius are an armed force responsible for security matters outside Mondstadt, primarily in the wilderness and within the city limits. They are involved in major security issues such as the Abyss Order, rebel forces, and Dragonspine Pass, and are essentially an army.

In addition, there was the secret police, headed by Rosalia.

Lin Jiu'an also gave "knight" a new meaning. The previous situation where any two people standing at the door guarding the gate were knights was something Lin Jiu'an really couldn't understand.

It makes the Cavaliers seem like they're everywhere.

Now, after he has killed a group of scum and those who opposed him, and driven away a group of useless people.

Very few people possess the title of "Knight".

One must reach a certain level of strength and pass other rigorous tests to obtain the title of "Knight". Becoming a "Knight" also means that they will at least become a middle-level member of the Knights Order.

As for the inexplicable position of maid in the Knights Order.

Lin Jiu'an immediately revoked it.

Knights' salaries and status were sufficient to support them in hiring private maids.

This practice of "sharing maids" is actually an insult to one's status.

He really didn't know what the point of this position was. Based on his understanding of Noelle and the work of those maids, it seemed that the purpose of the Knights' maids was to raise the people of Mondstadt into giant babies.

So, to put it simply...

During the time when the Stormterror was causing trouble, Noelle was specially protected by Jean and the others and transferred away from Mondstadt on several emergency missions. When she returned, Lin Jiu'an, who had successfully rebelled, had already revoked her job as a maid in the Knights of Favonius.

Noelle returned to find herself unemployed.

Although Qin admired her greatly, she could only accept her as an unofficial member of the Knights Order.

"Since we're on the topic of her, I might as well talk about her problems."

"I have no prejudice against her."

"But to be honest, I don't think someone as kind as her, to the point of being almost brainless, has the ability or the right to be a knight."
