At Qunyu Pavilion, Ning Guang, Zhong Li, and Li Yunqing sat together sipping tea. Finally meeting Lord Yunqing was an extraordinary experience. Tian Quan was also remarkable!
They exchanged pleasantries, but Ning Guang's main interest was to understand what kind of person Li Yunqing was and what value he could bring to Liyue or to her. Having grown up in poverty, Ning Guang had developed a relentless drive to earn money; even though she was already wealthy beyond measure, she continued to seek more wealth. After all, a merchant never complains about having too much money.
Since becoming the Liyue Tianquan Star, all commercial affairs in Liyue fell under her jurisdiction. Unlike other Qixing members, Ning Guang frequently made public appearances, and nearly all the people of Liyue had seen her. To ordinary folks, Tian Quan appeared amiable, but to merchants, she inspired fear.
As an outsider, Li Yunqing had already showcased his Space Ring, which contained various items from another world. These items could fetch a good price. He casually pulled out something from his Space Ring to trade with Ning Guang; it was filled with relatively ordinary items but in large quantities. After all, Li Yunqing did not possess small Space Rings.
The contents of the Space Ring were not worth more than the ring itself. Ning Guang examined the ring before glancing at Li Yunqing and then at Zhong Li. Seeing Ning Guang look at him, Zhong Li remained silent and simply sipped his tea.
Ning Guang accepted the ring and handed over a card—her own card—loaded with money that Li Yunqing could use freely. In essence, Li Yunqing had become one of the richest individuals in Teyvat because of Ning Guang's generosity.
After their conversation, Ning Guang took Li Yunqing and Zhong Li to her favorite dining spot for a meal before wrapping up their gathering. Later, Zhong Li introduced Li Yunqing to the other Qixing members.
Unlike Ning Guang, who dealt with significant matters swiftly due to her strong abilities, the other Qixing members focused on smaller tasks but in greater numbers.
So basically, Zhong Li brought them along, and they all participated. The representatives were Ganyu and Keqing. After the Emperor passed away, there were actually dreams sent to the Qixing a few days later. However, both of them were so caught up in their work that they didn't sleep for several nights, and thus they failed to receive the message that the Emperor's death was a false report.
It wasn't until later, during conversations among the other Qixing, that they began to notice some anomalies. They all recognized Zhong Li, who was a guest from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. He could be considered an immortal since he had known the previous Hall Master of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, and after all this time, his appearance had not changed at all.
As Qixing, they certainly understood which immortals resided in their territory. However, most immortals lived in the mountains, with only one residing in the city. When Li Yunqing met Ganyu, they chatted for a while before he left some calming herbs and departed. As for Keqing, he merely gave her a bottle of mental enhancement potion to prevent her from overworking herself to the point of exhaustion.
The other Qixing also just exchanged pleasantries before moving on without much else to say. Time passed quickly. Sera and the others' bellies gradually grew larger; it had been about seven months now. Li Yunqing cast powerful spells on them every day to ensure they remained comfortable.
Considering their physical condition, carrying an extra ten or so pounds of children was not particularly taxing. Li Yunqing's magic was primarily aimed at enhancing the children's physical attributes and potential. In time, each child might inherit a unique power—magical energy, spiritual energy, qi, fighting spirit, and so on. There might even be some special constitutions among them—like the Devouring Heaven Demon Body or Water Spirit Body.
Raising children was indeed a rather troublesome affair.
Li Yunqing was preparing to lay everything on the table for his elders. He wanted them to take care of the children for a while, giving them a chance to rest.
His grandparents and other older relatives were all quite advanced in age, having lived into their nineties before passing away peacefully. His grandmother had six children, and Li Yunqing's father was the youngest. He was only in his fifties now.
His uncle was already in his seventies, while his grandfather was in his sixties. They were all farmers and still quite robust. Moreover, Li Yunqing's father had found success in his own business and provided some financial support to these relatives, ensuring they lived comfortably.
However, his uncle's children did not receive any assistance. "Young people should learn to fend for themselves," was his uncle's exact words.
