Apart from monsters, Guili Plains also had remnants of divine resentment.
There were even some Ruin Guards and similar things.
Those were genuine war machines.
Because of this, developing Guili Plains seemed quite challenging.
"I'll go talk to Jiang Chen."
"Since that guy is about to become the Tianquan."
"We'll be colleagues in the future."
"No wonder that guy went to Yaoguang Shoal to buy land."
"Was he already preparing for this?"
"Taking advantage of the cheap land prices to secure it now."
"Once he takes office, he'll directly start developing that area!"
Keqing felt like she had discovered something.
How clever!!
Before even taking office, that guy had already started securing benefits for himself.
She wondered if Jiang Chen would engage in corruption in the future.
It seemed like she'd have to keep an eye on him!
Jiang Chen's actions made it hard for Keqing not to be suspicious.
"It's good that you're going to talk to him."
"If the Geo Archon chose him as the Tianquan, there must be a reason."
"Perhaps he has a way to solve the problems in Guili Plains!"
Ningguang's gaze turned to Keqing.
Since Keqing had such thoughts, she might as well let her handle this matter.
Hearing Ningguang's suggestion, Keqing agreed directly.
Alright, let's talk to him first!
"Alright!"
"I understand. I'll ask him."
"I'll set off right away!"
Since she had decided, she might as well go.
She needed to have a good talk with Jiang Chen!
The next Tianquan personally chosen by the Geo Archon!
This had never happened before.
The Qixing had all worked hard and gone through a selection process before finally getting the Geo Archon's approval.
Unlike Jiang Chen, who was directly appointed by the Geo Archon.
After making her decision, Keqing set off.
She would represent the Liyue Qixing and have a proper discussion with Jiang Chen.
With this in mind, Keqing used her elemental power to travel.
She needed to reach Yaoguang Shoal as quickly as possible.
Keqing jumped directly from the Jade Chamber.
Then, she transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared into the sky above Liyue Harbor.
If anyone had been paying close attention, they would have seen Keqing continuously throwing out her Lightning Stiletto.
Keqing was the fastest woman in Liyue!
When it came to traveling, she naturally went as fast as possible.
So Keqing quickly arrived at Guili Plains.
Although her speed was already fast,
it still took her several hours.
By the time she arrived, the sun had already set.
Following her memory, she headed toward the land Jiang Chen had purchased.
Surely Jiang Chen and the others would be there, right? They should be in the middle of building their house.
Without hiring workers from Liyue, she was curious how Jiang Chen planned to build it.
Could it be that he and that blonde girl were digging away themselves?
However, when she arrived, she was stunned.
From the edge of Guili Plains, she could see the situation at Yaoguang Shoal.
Right now, Keqing was standing on a high ground, overlooking Yaoguang Shoal.
In her line of sight, a house had already been built there.
Under the glow of the sunset, she could see the situation clearly.
The house was already completed.
"Huh?"
"So fast?"
Keqing was shocked.
Didn't they just buy the land today?
And the house was already built?
Even the interior was fully decorated!!
The place had completely transformed.
She turned her head to look around and noticed something else.
The bridge leading to Mingyun Village!!!
Seeing a complete bridge there, Keqing was utterly stunned.
Did Jiang Chen do all this?
And he even fixed the road?
Thinking this, Keqing disappeared from her spot.
She headed straight for the bridge.
Jiang Chen, who was about to have dinner, also sensed something.
He immediately spoke up:
"Add an extra set of utensils."
"We have a guest."
Electro energy? Was Keqing coming over?
Knowing this location and specifically coming to find him, it could only be Keqing.
Probably the Tianquan had told them something, so Keqing came over.
It couldn't be Beidou!
So it had to be Keqing coming to find him.
"Who's here?"
"Is it Zhongli?"
Paimon was the first to react.
Who would come at this hour? Showing up right at dinner time—was it to mooch a meal?
"It's Keqing."
"Not Zhongli."
Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Paimon.
Zhongli probably wouldn't be coming over for a long time.
If he came, Jiang Chen would just drag him into doing something.
He probably wasn't too keen on that, right?
"Keqing?"
"Why is she coming over?"
Paimon was also surprised to hear it was Keqing.
Could it be that Keqing was here to help them build the house?
Remembering what Keqing had said about finding workers to help,
Paimon thought the enthusiastic Keqing wanted to lend a hand.
But their house was already built.
No help was needed!! Thinking this, Paimon suddenly felt that Keqing was a really good person!!
To come all this way just to help.
Glancing at Paimon, who was lost in her thoughts, Jiang Chen didn't bother with her and went outside to wait.
A flash of lightning later, Keqing appeared in front of Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen!"
Keqing greeted Jiang Chen as soon as she saw him.
"You're here. Perfect timing—we're about to eat."
"Come join us for dinner."
After saying this, Jiang Chen invited Keqing inside.
Hearing this, Keqing looked at the house with curiosity and couldn't help but ask:
"Was this built today?"
"And that bridge over there—did you build it too?"
Keqing was utterly shocked, almost unable to believe what she was seeing.
The changes here were too fast.
She was certain that this place hadn't looked like this before.
After all, she had passed by here not long ago on her way back from Qingce Village.
There had been no bridge or this house back then.
"Mm-hmm!"
"Built today."
"After all, the Geo Archon helped out."
"Come in, and I'll introduce you to a few people."
After saying this, Jiang Chen turned and entered the house.
Hearing this, Keqing was stunned.
The Geo Archon helped? And he was going to introduce her to people?
Full of questions, Keqing followed Jiang Chen into the house.
Then she saw two very beautiful women.
Wait!!
A house full of women?
Good grief, was this a golden house to hide beauties?
"This is the God of Dust, Hagenti, and the other is the God of Salt, Havria!"
Hearing the word "god," Keqing was completely dumbfounded.
"Hello~!"
Guizhong greeted Keqing with a warm smile.
"God... gods?"
"Lady Guizhong?"
Keqing had read Liyue's history, so she was well aware of the gods who had appeared during the Archon War.
She knew which ones were good, which were bad, and even those who had fled to other regions only to be killed.
Hagenti was one of the gods who had allied with the Geo Archon during the Archon War.
However, she wasn't skilled in combat but excelled in strategy and machinery. Unfortunately, she had perished during the Archon War.
The Guizhong Ballista, left behind by Guizhong, was still in use in Liyue.
So Keqing was very familiar with Guizhong.
And now, this god was standing alive in front of her?
