Not long after Xiangling and Chef Mao went inside, Beidou entered the shop—bringing her little brother, Kaedehara Kazuha, with her.
"Morning, Boss!"
Beidou greeted cheerfully as she reached the counter.
"With Beisht dealt with, shouldn't you have already set sail?"
Han Feng looked slightly surprised.
He had heard from Ningguang about the maritime ban.
More than a day had passed.
Now that the final threat was gone, logically, the fleet should already be heading out.
"I brought my little brother here to check out the manga first. We'll set sail later."
Beidou laughed.
Once they departed,
they would likely be at sea for quite some time.
So it was best to read as much manga as possible while they could.
Besides—she was still thinking about that massive aerial carrier reward.
Just the thought of it made her impatient.
"Boss, I'm going to read now."
She dropped a pouch of Mora on the counter and headed toward the shelves,
leaving behind a slightly bewildered Kazuha.
"Welcome, Emperor Ye."
Han Feng suddenly teased with a grin.
"Emperor… Ye?"
Kazuha blinked in confusion.
Was that… supposed to be him?
Han Feng simply smiled.
Back in his previous life, when this character was first released, there had been a huge wave of hype and debate.
The nickname "Emperor Ye" had originally been used sarcastically by critics.
But later— after his popularity soared and his usage rate skyrocketed, the title became genuine.
And when he stood before Tenshukaku and blocked the Raiden Shogun's Musou no Hitotachi—the nickname was truly cemented.
Without explaining further, Han Feng moved on.
"So, would you like to read manga?
100,000 Mora per person. One session per day."
"Yes, of course."
Kazuha nodded quickly.
"I heard from Big Sister Beidou that reading manga here can grant many miraculous rewards."
That was precisely why he had come.
As for money—
compared to such rewards, any amount was worth it.
He placed a pouch of Mora on the counter.
"The shelves are over there."
After accepting the payment, Han Feng pointed the way.
Kazuha nodded.
That was where Beidou had gone earlier.
After giving a polite farewell, he walked toward the shelves.
A New Choice
He remembered Beidou recommending a manga called
"One Piece — East Blue", saying the Three-Sword Style technique inside was fascinating.
But as soon as Kazuha reached the shelves, another manga caught his eye.
"Ultraman Tiga? What a strange name."
He examined the cover curiously.
Not only was the title unusual—the artwork looked unusual too.
"Boss, what is an Ultraman?"
Kazuha turned and asked.
"A giant being about fifty meters tall, with extraordinary powers."
Han Feng replied casually.
"A fifty-meter giant?"
Kazuha's eyes widened.
That sounded like something on the level of a god.
Instantly, his interest spiked.
Three-sword techniques?
How could they compete with giants?
So he eagerly took the manga and walked into the reading area, finding a seat near Beidou.
"Huh? That's not One Piece — East Blue, is it?"
Beidou looked at the book in his hands, puzzled.
"Mm. It seems to be a new manga. I think it looks interesting."
Kazuha smiled.
Beidou nodded.
She had only recommended One Piece because she liked it.
Ultimately—what to read was his own choice.
Liyue Harbor
After eliminating the final follower of the sea god, Beisht,
Ningguang and Keqing lifted the maritime ban.
However, because two gods had appeared in quick succession, many fishermen were still too frightened to set sail.
They decided to wait a while longer.
As a result, the harbor was unusually quiet.
At that moment—a large wooden ship approached from the sea and docked at the port.
It was the very vessel that had sailed from Inazuma.
Soon, a figure dressed in shrine maiden attire stepped off the ship.
"Finally… I've arrived in Liyue."
Standing at the harbor, Yae Miko's eyes gleamed with excitement.
If she could find that person, there was a chance to break the deadlock in Inazuma.
"But Liyue is so large… how am I supposed to find them?"
She fell into thought.
Anyone capable of unleashing that level of sword intent was certainly no ordinary individual.
There was no way common citizens would know.
After a long pause,
Yae Miko sighed.
"Well then… I'll visit Ganyu first."
"She's the secretary of the Liyue Qixing. Perhaps she knows something."
With that decision, Yae Miko gracefully walked toward Yujing Terrace.
She had visited before, so finding the way was easy.
Inside Yujing Terrace
In a certain office, seven or eight figures were busily working.
One checked documents.
Another reviewed legislation.
Another organized meeting records.
Another consolidated complex reports.
And one—sat calmly at a desk, sipping tea.
If an outsider saw this, they would discover something astonishing:
Every single figure
looked exactly the same.
They were all—
Ganyu.
"Ever since I learned clone techniques, work has become much easier."
The original Ganyu smiled as she watched her duplicates labor.
Although the more clones she created, the weaker each one became, they were still perfectly sufficient for office work.
In the past, Ganyu truly loved working.
Work made her happy.
But now—things were different.
Ever since discovering Boss Han's manga shop, it felt as if a whole new world had opened.
She could read fascinating stories, meet interesting people, and receive powerful rewards.
Her clone technique and powered armor
had both come from there.
She was deeply satisfied with this new life.
However,
when she thought about the rewards from the shop, a trace of worry appeared on her face.
"Ningguang and Lady Keqing have already given Boss Han gifts to thank him…"
"Should I also do something in return?"
