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

Page 146

Perhaps the Emperor simply prefers young and handsome boys like Ah Ming?

No way! Even if it's the Emperor, it's not allowed! Ah Ming being kept by the Emperor and having his butt covered every day is absolutely unacceptable!

Shen He glanced over silently; it was clear she was very interested in Ji Ming's next answer.

Even the Great Sage Who Subdued Demons, who was keen on enjoying almond tofu, finally stopped eating with his little spoon at this moment. He puffed out his cheeks like a squirrel and secretly looked at Ji Ming, who was covered in sweat.

The idea of ​​the Emperor keeping a younger Emperor as a mistress sounds very unreliable. Xiao has never seen the Emperor have any romantic feelings for other beings, so it is most likely just a rumor and gossip.

But that doesn't stop Xiao from enjoying the show.

"Wait...wait a minute! This doesn't sound right at all. How could I possibly be kept by the Emperor? Besides, my sexual orientation is perfectly normal, Xiangling, don't you know that?"

The first half of the sentence was fine, but the second half revealed something. Xiangling's face suddenly turned red, and she complained, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you didn't know, you didn't know. Why did you suddenly ask me if I knew? I don't know!"

This is a lie, and people might not know it in daily life. However, during those intimate little games of touching and hugging, Xiangling, who liked to snuggle in Ji Ming's arms, did feel something hard.

Afterwards, Xiangling bought books from roadside stalls and studied them, cramming on a lot of adult-oriented knowledge. So now she is a theoretical master and naturally knows that Ji Ming's sexual orientation is normal and it is impossible for him to be kept by a man.

Come to think of it, she and Ji Ming haven't played those kinds of games in a long time, and thinking about it today makes her feel a little itchy.

"Ah Ming, come help out at Wanmintang sometime. I'll treat you to a big meal tonight."

Xiangling blinked, gave a slight hint, then put down the scroll, blushed, and ran away, completely forgetting her plan to test Shen He.

Shen He sensed something was wrong, but how could the pure-hearted white-haired fairy be tainted by worldly desires? After a moment's thought, she chose to give up and moved closer to Ji Ming to look at the scroll.

Just when Ji Ming thought the chaotic scene was over and everything was fine, Shen He, expressionless, asked again, "Junior brother, what is a feast?"

"Um... it's food."

"Really?"

Shen He remained noncommittal, staring at the sweating Ji Ming for a while, but did not press him further. His gaze was deep, and it was unclear what this white-haired fairy was thinking.

The way Miss Xiangling looked at her junior brother just now was a bit like a monster eyeing its prey.

Do you want to eat your junior brother?

My junior brother isn't food, so I can't eat him, but he does look quite appetizing.

I'm starting to feel like eating my junior brother.

Chapter 184 The Yang Has No Bounds

To clarify beforehand, Morax did not make any demands in the second decree; only six short characters were sewn onto the cloth, announcing the future emperor of Liyue.

His status was officially appointed, and his legitimacy and orthodoxy were finally recognized. However, Ji Ming was not very happy. Instead, he felt a sense of unfulfilled desire.

What happened to the promised task? Old Master Zhongli, have you forgotten about the Dragon King Ruotu under the Fulong Tree? Doesn't he need your help to purify it?

Well, Ji Ming had to admit that even if he possessed the power of the Wind God, he couldn't forcibly purify the Ruo Tuo Dragon King, who had been worn down to the extreme by karmic obstacles. As for whether he could do it in the future, it was all up to fate.

In short, it has a rather restrained feel to it.

Amidst confusion and excitement, Ji Ming stayed in Liyue Harbor for another four days. Xiao and Shen He both decided to stay overnight at the courtyard house, neither of them wanting to miss the summoning ceremony the next day.

Ying and Paimon haven't returned yet. If it weren't for the package being here, Ji Ming would have thought they had already left Liyue Harbor. Of course, he couldn't control these two girls, one big and one small.

As for Wendy, he himself is a little wind sprite who ran away from Mondstadt, so he doesn't really care about Xiao and Shenhe's temporary stay. He spends his days engrossed in growing chives.

As temporary residents, Xiao and Shenhe appeared particularly nervous. Although they did not show any emotion on the surface, it was obvious to anyone with eyes to see their worry.

"I mean, do you guys have to be so tense?"

In the afternoon, Ji Ming lay on the wooden armchair with a helpless expression. He lazily turned over and looked at the Demon-Slaying Great Sage and the White-Haired Fairy standing at attention beside him.

Somewhat like a professional bodyguard.

Xiao opened its mouth but didn't speak.

Shen He thought for a while, then moved a small stool over and sat down next to Ji Ming, secretly glancing at the back of his hand out of the corner of her eye.

"Junior brother, tomorrow you will be the Little Emperor."

"Hmm, that's right, be proud of me, Senior Sister Shen He."

His tone was flat, but that didn't stop Ji Ming from being silly. He had been under a lot of psychological pressure lately and needed to find a way to vent, so being silly was a good option.

Holding Ji Ming's hand, Shen He said frankly, "By then, many, many people will know that Junior Brother is the Little Emperor."

Ji Ming nodded: "Of course. Tomorrow morning, the Emperor will probably issue the decree directly. Perhaps I will also have to go up and say a few words?"

"The problem is that someone might have ill intentions and secretly sabotage tomorrow's invocation ceremony."

Xiao chimed in, "I'm worried about that too."

Despite the immense pressure, Ji Ming wasn't worried about anyone disrupting the ritual to invite immortals. Who would be so blind as to dare to act recklessly in front of the former emperor and the young emperor?

"Relax, nobody dares to make a move at this critical juncture unless they want to die."

Seeing that no one spoke, Ji Ming sighed and tried to change the subject: "Wendy is planting chives in the backyard, shall we go and take a look?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao's eyes became noticeably strange, looking both awkward and curious. He had always respected Wendy, the former Wind God, after all, she had saved his life. Now that they lived together in the courtyard, he couldn't possibly not care about Wendy.

To be honest, before moving into the courtyard house, Xiao had been feeling uneasy. The Anemo God was a foreign monarch, while Wendy was both the former Anemo God and his savior. He didn't know how to face Wendy.

Now, Wendy is busy growing chives all day long. Except for saying "hey" when they meet, she doesn't bother with this demon-slaying saint.

Xiao's assessment was that it was a bit difficult to maintain.

Why did the former Wind God plant chives? Could chives be some kind of strange code? To figure out the mystery, Xiao began to rack his brains.

Chives, an easy-to-grow and easy-to-harvest plant, are believed to have aphrodisiac effects on humans...

In the context of Taoist practices, "aphrodisiac" is a purely technical term without any hidden or derogatory connotations.

However, in the common people's world, this word has a significant origin. Xiao usually stays at Wangshu Inn, where there is a huge flow of customers, so he naturally knows the meaning of this word.

stare--

Feeling uncomfortable being stared at, Ji Ming looked at Xiao and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Xiao said sincerely, "If you need chives, I can grow some."

Ji Ming: "?"

Uncle-Master Xiao, are you awake?

Ignoring his cheap master uncle, Ji Ming turned to Shen He and said cheerfully, "Senior sister, you've finally come all the way to Liyue Harbor, don't you have anything you want to do?"

After a moment's thought, Shen He quickly replied, "I just want to stay by my junior brother's side. Once he becomes the Little Emperor, I will return to Mount Aozang to continue my cultivation."

“I can also train in Liyue Harbor and Guili County. I will bring my master here and we can live together as a family. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

“Master prefers quiet, so let’s not force her,” Shen He politely declined, his eyes shining. “I might not be able to focus on cultivation in Liyue Harbor and Guili County.”

Ji Ming asked curiously, "Why is that?"

"Because my junior brother is there, I will unconsciously want to stay by his side and give up my cultivation."

Such a direct and forceful approach! The cool tone paired with gentle words is simply irresistible.

Ji Ming scratched his face and said with a shameless smile, "So that's how it is. It seems I'm no match for cultivation?"

Worried that Ji Ming might misunderstand, Shen He immediately explained, "That's not the case. Cultivation is for nurturing one's character, and also for attaining immortality. Once I become an immortal, I can better accompany my junior brother."

The Ji Ming was badly damaged and almost sank.

"Is that so? Life is so long, why don't you find a hobby, Senior Sister? I, as your junior brother, can keep you company, like going shopping?"

Shen He is plump and much taller than the average woman. She also has a cool and beautiful appearance. She is a natural clothes hanger. It would be a sin not to buy her a whole wardrobe of clothes.

Shen He hesitated for a moment: "Go shopping?"

Ji Ming nodded, looking quite interested: "That's right, regardless of age, the women of Liyue all love shopping. Why don't you give it a try, Senior Sister?"

"Is this my junior brother's wish?"

"Yes, but I would prefer that you make the decision yourself."

"I... am not good at shopping."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ming immediately felt a little amused.

Shopping is simply walking around a commercial street, stopping and starting, asking the price of things you like, and going to another store if you're not satisfied with the price. You might make some purchases or not at the end of the day, but that's the typical process of shopping.

How come something that children are born with becomes "not good at shopping" for my senior sister?

Forget it, you can't force people to go shopping. Let him bring it up again when his senior sister is in the mood.

Are there any other ideas?

Shen He blinked, glancing at the backyard, and said in a low voice, "I want to plant chives with my junior brother."

No, you can't have a topic without mentioning leeks, right?

Wendy, come and see what you've done!

Ji Ming's smile was forced: "Senior sister, why do you suddenly want to grow chives?"

Shen He said with a righteous expression, "It's to enhance my junior brother's virility."

I wonder what the other crown princes do on the afternoon before they ascend the throne in Teyvat. Perhaps they are excited, or perhaps they are calm and collected. In any case, they always find something to distract themselves.

As for Ji Ming, who was to become the future young emperor, he spent the entire afternoon planting chives the day before he was to ascend the throne.
