"Want to know? I can give you the answer, but..."
Ningguang shifted the topic. "Usually, in Liyue, people have to pay a high price to get an answer from me."
"Pay money? Then forget it."
Jiang Yun had Mora, but he didn't want to spend it on something like this. Besides, he just wanted to keep Ningguang steady; he didn't actually care about the answer to that question. If he really wanted an answer, he could just have a "deep discussion" with Keqing after Ningguang left. After all, the current Lady Yuheng was being very well-behaved and was completely at his beck and call.
At this thought, Jiang Yun couldn't help but stroke the girl's delicate, smooth ear under the desk.
But the girl seemed to misunderstand Jiang Yun's signal. Her small head suddenly increased its pace!
Jiang Yun sucked in a breath of cold air, thinking: Keqing, now is not the time to mess around. Calm down!
He gently stroked the girl's purple hair, trying to get her to relax a bit. But the girl seemed to have fallen into a state of obsession, burying her head and working on her own, completely ignoring his movements!
At this moment, Ningguang spoke again: "I like Mora, but I'm not so desperate that I'd come all this way just to earn some from Keqing's assistant. We can trade answers for answers, taking turns to ask questions. How about it?"
[Ningguang, Exploration Score: 17]
"Fine! But my previous question is void. Ningguang, you ask first."
"My first question is simple: Why are the documents on your desk such a mess?"
Jiang Yun, who had been immersed in the girl's service, only now noticed that the documents on the desk weren't just messy—the tablecloth was also glistening with moisture.
He had a flash of inspiration and said, "Because I accidentally knocked over some tea just now. In my panic, I made a mess of the documents."
A lie!
The Tianquan's unique sharp intuition caught the scent of a falsehood. But she didn't expose Jiang Yun. Instead, she slowly leaned forward until her ample, rounded chest touched the desk. Then, Ningguang began to carefully sniff the wet patches.
Wait... Ningguang, what are you doing?! Do you even know what you're smelling?!
Jiang Yun suppressed a laugh, thinking to himself: If I get the chance in the future, I have to tell Ningguang the truth, just to see the expression on her face.
After sniffing for a moment, Ningguang looked up and asked, "What kind of tea?"
"Ningguang, that's your second question."
Ningguang smiled and nodded. "Fair. You ask first."
[Ningguang, Exploration Score: 20]
Seeing the system text, Jiang Yun took the opportunity to ask, "On a scale of 0 to 100, what score would you give your desire to explore me?"
"Interesting, Jiang Yun. Why would you ask such a question?"
Jiang Yun tapped the desk lightly. "Ningguang, I'm the one asking the question."
"Oh, my apologies. I was careless again..."
After a polite apology, Ningguang found herself at a loss for words. She suddenly realized that since becoming the Tianquan, it had always been others doing their best to answer her questions, never the other way around!
This Jiang Yun was truly extraordinary! However, since he lied first, she felt no need to tell the truth.
She immediately said, "Before coming here, maybe a 1 or 2 in curiosity. Now that I'm here, it's completely gone."
"Liar!"
Jiang Yun's tone was swift and firm.
Ningguang's brows shot up. "Jiang Yun, on what basis do you say that? Can you actually score the inner thoughts of my heart?"
"It's not important how I can say it, nor is it important if I can score your thoughts. What matters is that you are lying, Ningguang." Jiang Yun smiled composedly. "So, please leave, Ningguang. There's no need for us to continue exchanging answers."
Jiang Yun had to use this method to get Ningguang to leave as quickly as possible, because Keqing's focused service was becoming nearly impossible to withstand!
"I..."
Ningguang, who was used to great storms and waves, suddenly felt the helplessness of a professional athlete tripping over their own feet. Then, she smiled slightly, thinking: Interesting. He actually seized the initiative.
[Ningguang, Exploration Score: 25]
However, the Tianquan was not willing to retreat just like that!
"Jiang Yun, I must admit, you truly have some skill! Would you allow me to ask one or two more questions?"
Seeing that Jiang Yun was about to refuse, Ningguang added quickly, "In return, I will do one thing for you within my power. How about it?"
"Can it be anything?"
"Yes! Regardless of time, place, or matter—as long as it's within my power!"
"Fine! Ask away."
The pipe in Ningguang's hand pointed at the desk. "This is Keqing's Vision accessory, but why is her Vision nowhere to be seen?"
"I suggested a different way for Keqing to wear her Vision, and she accepted my suggestion." Jiang Yun took a deep breath. "Also, you said you'd ask one or two more questions. You've asked one; you have one left at most!"
The truth!
What he said... was actually the truth?! Ningguang was quite surprised.
In truth, she didn't care about the Vision—she had even thought about auctioning her own when she first got it. She had asked about it just now simply to verify if Jiang Yun was telling the truth. If he lied again, she could have paid him back in kind and pointed it out aggressively.
But Jiang Yun had told the truth!
[Ningguang, Exploration Score: 35]
Ningguang couldn't help but hesitate. She only had one question left; she couldn't waste it. She crossed her legs, the tip of her black high heel catching a corner of the tablecloth and gently swaying it.
At this moment, if Ningguang raised her foot just a bit higher or leaned down to look, she would see a unique sight: the purple-haired girl with twin tails, the famous Yuheng of Liyue, Keqing, was currently wearing her Vision in a "unique" way and was buried in her work with reckless abandon!
"Ningguang, how long do you plan to think?"
"Fine... I'll ask now: You only spent a very short time passing Keqing's interview. How did you do it?"
"I demonstrated a specialty and gave her a photo. Then I passed the interview."
It's the truth again?!
Ningguang couldn't help but follow up, "What specialty? What photo?"
Jiang Yun shrugged with a smile and didn't answer.
"Fine, I won't disturb you any further... But, here. Take this!"
"What is this?" Jiang Yun took the item Ningguang handed over. "An invitation to the Jade Chamber?!"
"Correct. With this, you can visit the Jade Chamber whenever you like. To be honest, I'm quite looking forward to your arrival!"
[Ningguang, Exploration Score: 40]
After saying this, Ningguang stood up and turned around. Just as she was about to step away, she heard Jiang Yun make a strange sound, and his breathing grew heavy.
"Nngh... huff..."
She couldn't help but glance back, seeing Jiang Yun with his elbows on the desk and his hands clasped under his chin.
"Is there any other problem?"
"There are indeed many questions, but... let's save them for our next meeting!" Ningguang smiled confidently. "Jiang Yun, I believe we will be seeing each other again very soon!"
Jiang Yun didn't say anything else. Instead, he silently activated the Desire Multiplication skill.
[Ningguang, Exploration Score: 80]
[Today's Task completed. Received: Physical Enhancement x1, 1 million Mora.]
What would a Ningguang with 80 points of Exploration Score do? Jiang Yun didn't know, and he couldn't afford to care!
After Ningguang left, he immediately looked down at Keqing. Unlike yesterday, when the climax came this time, he didn't need to hold Keqing's head. The girl proactively kept her head buried for a long time, completely catching everything!
There was no other sound between them, only the rhythmic swallowing echoing in the room...
Finally, the girl looked up again, her violet eyes gazing at Jiang Yun with deep affection. Seeing Jiang Yun in a daze, she smiled faintly and asked, "What? This time I didn't get any on my face. Are you disappointed?"
