Ningguang, indulging in feudalistic thinking, suddenly came up with a very "vicious" idea.
"Selling off"—well, just kidding.
Didn't you, Yelan, want me, Ningguang, to be your foot-washing maid? I'll get there first and sell you out as a maid myself.
Although it won't have any real impact, it doesn't stop Ningguang from annoying Yelan.
Once she's married into the family, she'll be able to disgust Ye Lan with this for the rest of her life.
Ningguang sounds amazing just thinking about it.
As for whether Yelan will get there first?
If you're so capable, then you go and do it. With the group of people around Liu Bai right now, Ye Lan is just a lowly minion filling in the gaps.
"...?"
However, it was clear that neither Keqing nor Liu Bai had figured out Ningguang's train of thought.
"Is this some kind of weird play?" Bai complained.
"Anyway, that guy's heart isn't in Liyue anymore. It wouldn't be bad to finish this last mission and have her be your maid, would it?"
Oh, so it's like giving away a top-tier agent for free.
Liu Bai realized what Ning Guang meant—so this really is some kind of play, right?
Keqing clearly thought the same thing as Liu Bai, and didn't say much—moreover, Ningguang's statement made a lot of sense.
This time, Ye Lan's return has caused significantly more trouble.
Why would Ke Qing bother to pay attention to Ye Lan before? She wasn't even her direct intelligence officer.
Go wherever you want to go, just don't die.
A nodding acquaintance, the relationship ends at the level of friendship.
Unlike now, after only one day back from the sea, Ye Lan's image in Ke Qing's mind has changed from "a strange intelligence officer" to "a complete idiot".
Furthermore, this also barely aligns with Ningguang's strategy, so Keqing naturally has no reason to object.
"Then it's settled. I will definitely offer Yelan with both hands when the time comes."
Ningguang covered her face with a folding fan and smiled elegantly.
"..."
Liu Bai wondered if this person's choice of words was a sign of a sudden outburst of sadistic tendencies.
You've objectified Yelan!
I hope the people of Yelan are alright.
After offering a half-hearted prayer for Ye Lan, Liu Bai looked at Ke Qing.
"Um……"
I always felt that Ke Qing was... avoiding my gaze.
Ah, well, after all, I did that kind of thing yesterday, so it's only natural that I'm being labeled a pervert. I can't expect someone like Keqing, a "conservative radical," to understand.
"What happened to everyone else besides Yelan?"
"Kafka is fine."
Xue Yi replied.
After the guy squeezed the stuff out, he calmed down for a while, drank some hangover soup, and returned to normal.
"Oh..." Bai nodded.
To be honest, Liu Bai was quite curious about what the so-called demons in Kafka's hometown were.
Is it true that the body can also be mutated, or is it simply a case of the mind being mutated and then turning evil, becoming three times stronger?
However, it seems that Kaffa's indulgence yesterday did not turn her into a demon—actually, does Liu Bai think Kaffa would really turn into that thing?
"Ms. Lei Dian and the others are all fine and are having a meal in the tea room."
"Teahouse... Oh right, this is a teahouse, not a gambling den."
Liu Bai paused for a moment before realizing that breakfast could indeed be eaten here.
"What about Ruan Mei? Who is taking care of Ruan Mei?"
Actually, Liu Bai wasn't too worried about Zhen and Ying. The two of them were just drunk and didn't get involved in what happened afterward.
For a demon god, getting drunk is no big deal!
What Liu Bai was really worried about was Ye Lan, Kafka, and Ruan Mei.
Needless to say, Ye Lan has done something terribly wrong, so it's impossible not to worry.
Kafka is concerned because this person may have the hidden illness mentioned earlier, and she needs to take a look at it.
As for Nguyen Mai... there were only three people on the "stage" at the time: Liu Bai, Kafka, and Nguyen Mai.
It would be really unreasonable not to show some concern for Ruan Mei.
“Initially, it was Sara who took care of her. Sara said that Dr. Nguyen Mai was fine.”
Snow-white clothes are devoid of emotion.
Are you really okay?
There's a high probability something's wrong, and it might be the most serious one among everyone.
After all, the throat...
Okay, the most serious thing is a sore throat, but it's really not a big deal.
However, Ruan Mei's situation was indeed somewhat awkward, and no one knew what she was thinking—but Xueyi really didn't expect that such a gentle woman would be so proactive and crazy after getting drunk.
If Kafka hadn't secured her position first, that post might have belonged to Nguyen Mai.
This is quite an interesting anecdote in Xueyi's life.
"I met Dr. Ruan Mei once before... she seems pretty normal, right?"
Ke Qing hesitated slightly before speaking – because of Ruan Mei's performance yesterday, she can be considered a prominent figure.
Although Kafka stole the limelight and Nightlan took the blame, no one will underestimate this doctor.
From a serene and gentle intellectual beauty with a touch of arrogance to kneeling on the ground, thirsting for nectar and displaying a shameless and utterly depraved fawning posture...
The allure of this contrast is something even a rigid person like Keqing can somewhat understand.
“That’s your own problem,” Ningguang interrupted Keqing’s speculation.
In this regard, they tend to make more mistakes by guessing, so it's best to let Liu Bai explore and solve the problem himself.
Chapter 256 tells a sad story
hall.
The teahouse wasn't very lively in the morning—after all, because of Ye Lan, the place really resembled a gambling den.
Strictly speaking, Yelan allowed this place to become a "mixed bag" to facilitate the acquisition of intelligence.
A more vivid way to put it is the "official black market".
Inside the private room, Ye Lan and Ruan Mei were having morning tea—which is breakfast.
"morning."
"Oh, Grandpa Liu, you're awake."
"What's the point of me being armed with guns and sticks?"
Liu Bai was unfazed by Ye Lan's veiled barbs.
He didn't put up a fight yesterday. You, Yelan, can't beat Kafka, so what are you going to do?
"Where is Kaffa?"
"Yaoqing has finished eating breakfast." Night Wife Lan pouted. "That woman is really poisonous... but why? It's her?"
I'm really annoyed, even though she was the one who arrived first.
If "first come, first served" is useful, then what's the point of intensity?
Ningguang smiled and sat down gracefully.
These words immediately made Ye Lan's expression turn ugly.
This statement, while seemingly referring to Kaffa, is actually a subtle dig at her!
You, Ningguang, want to shit on my head too?
damn it……
Ye Lan's lips twitched, but she forced herself not to lash out.
(...The tension between these two is really high. Liu Bai glanced at the two of them.)
"By the way, Yelan, after Keqing and I discussed it all night, Liyue has made a decision on your punishment."
Seeing Ye Lan's avoidance of battle, Ning Guang knew that this person had not given up, but was preparing to find another opportunity.
Secret agents excel at seizing every opportunity.
"Huh?" Ye Lan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at these words.
What does it mean that the punishment decision has been issued?
"What did I do wrong?" Ye Lan retorted.
"You've been involved in all sorts of debauchery, gambling, and drug use—you've dabbled in everything." Ningguang's tone was unmistakably sarcastic.
"Bullshit! I'm not one of them, that's the one who's—ah!"
"Sorry." After offering a half-hearted apology, Ruan Mei tossed the steamed bun with the hole poked in it by her finger aside.
Ruan Mei was in a very bad mood, and naturally she was not polite to Ye Lan.
Ye Lan splashed some water on her finger and her lips twitched as she looked at Ruan Mei's demeanor.
"If the steamed buns don't suit your taste, you can ask Grandpa Liu to add some more fillings for you."
Ye Lan wasn't afraid of Ruan Mei's status, so naturally she would hit someone in the face.
These words successfully made Ruan Mei subconsciously touch her still uncomfortable throat.
She still had a lingering aftertaste from drinking too much.
Ruan Mei kept her mouth closed, but her little lilac tongue curled up a few times restlessly.
However, Ruan Mei only gave Ye Lan a very cold look.
"Someone's showing their true colors." Ye Lan continued to fan the flames, but after saying that, she didn't forget the main point and looked at Ning Guang, "So I didn't participate at all! Not even seeing anything counts as involvement in pornography? I'll take my pants off right now to prove my innocence?"
"And you're also involved in drugs."
"That thing is a Honkai inhibitor! A legal and compliant product! It's even a drug used in pharmacies!"
This is a product used to suppress Honkai disease, a divinely ordained product, which is why I was showing it off so much yesterday, saying one pill for every bottle.
If it were truly the kind of "laboratory supplies" used by the World Snake, Yelan would be bedridden after just two tubes.
"Oh, so you're involved in gambling."
"Then may I ask what the amount of money involved in my case is?"
Ye Lan sneered, "Don't act like you're the local bully and I'm not."
You say I gambled, but what about the amount of money I was involved in?
Liyue only targets high-stakes gambling, not because they don't want to nip it in the bud, but because the saying "a little gambling is harmless" is truly true. A blanket ban would actually increase or decrease the happiness index and crime rate.
Like mahjong and poker, nobody talks about playing for five cents or a dollar; even security personnel play.
If you have a thousand or two thousand, and there's no upper limit, forget about mahjong or poker, even if you play Three Kingdoms Kill, play card games, or even compete to see who can pee the farthest, you'll end up in jail.
The "gambling" commonly referred to usually refers to the latter type of high-stakes gambling that can lead to ruin and death.
So Yelan wasn't afraid at all.
