But he waved his hand anyway and said with a smile, “Did you forget? I have the power to protect myself now… and of course, I can protect Ganyu and Keqing as well.”
Hearing that he was still in the mood to joke, Ganyu quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Still, she patiently advised him, “Even if you have a Vision, you shouldn’t let your guard down.
You haven’t properly developed its power yet…
How about you come back with us to Liyue Harbor, Jiang Xuan?
“Liyue Harbor is not only safe, but it’s also very lively.
It’s much better than being lonely out here by yourself every day.
“And I still want to hear the rest of that story about the Stone Monkey you told me last time.”
Jiang Xuan blinked and said, “So… here I am, aren’t I?”
Ganyu stared blankly for a moment, then it clicked.
“Really? You’re actually willing to come back to Liyue Harbor with us?”
Jiang Xuan nodded with a smile.
“Before, I had some personal business to attend to here. Now that my affairs are wrapped up, of course I want to go see the most prosperous nation in Teyvat.”
Ganyu’s eyes crinkled happily, and the horns on her head seemed to glisten.
“No problem! We won’t disappoint you! There are so many fun things to do in Liyue Harbor. When you have time, I can show you around!”
Keqing pulled her gaze away from the seal and said softly, “Wait here for a bit. I’ll go give the Millelith some instructions first. When I get back, we’ll head back to Liyue Harbor.”
True to her swift and decisive nature, Keqing had barely finished speaking before she threw out a Lightning Stiletto and zipped away.
For a moment, only Jiang Xuan and Ganyu remained.
A gentle breeze blew, carrying the elegant, delicate fragrance of Ganyu’s ice-blue hair.
When Keqing was around, it hadn’t mattered as much, but now that it was just the two of them, Ganyu felt a little shy.
She uncomfortably brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, suddenly at a loss for words.
Out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Xuan observed Ganyu and fell into deep thought.
Honestly, Jiang Xuan desperately needed a few teammates to help him colonize the MC world.
It was still the early stages, so the tasks seemed manageable on his own.
But what about later?
With his System’s unscrupulous nature, who knew if the difficulty would keep multiplying by a hundredfold.
Don’t be fooled by Jiang Xuan’s current strength, which already put him among the top tier in Teyvat.
In the MC world, he was still just starting out.
Long-term development required building houses, right?
And they’d have to develop Redstone technology in the MC world, wouldn’t they?
If nothing else, once the SlashBlade mod was unlocked, Jiang Xuan would have to properly upgrade and refine his Yamato.
These were all massive undertakings.
Besides, a solo MC world was just too lonely.
Since Ganyu and the others already treated him as a good friend…
Then he should return the favor.
Liyue would surely benefit greatly from the various resources of the MC world.
After all, those were the resources of an entire world.
It could solve basically all of Liyue’s problems.
Even if they had to trade with Mora, that Tianquan would probably not mind throwing mountains of Mora at him.
This way, Jiang Xuan’s living expenses in Teyvat would be entirely covered.
It was a pretty good option…
“Jiang Xuan…”
Ganyu’s faint voice sounded.
If Jiang Xuan’s strength hadn’t increased drastically, he might not have even heard it.
“Why… why do you keep staring at me?”
Ganyu lowered her head and mumbled.
In Jiang Xuan’s eyes, her blush had spread all the way down to her neck.
Jiang Xuan felt a bit embarrassed.
Clearing his throat, he said, “Sorry, I was lost in thought…”
“Oh…” Ganyu gave a soft, muffled reply, not knowing what else to say.
Being alone with a member of the opposite sex was an experience Ganyu hadn’t had in thousands of years.
It was truly a bit awkward for her.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan made up his mind.
Pursing his lips, he said softly, “Ganyu, can I trust you?”
Ganyu didn’t know why Jiang Xuan was asking this, but she nodded earnestly.
“Jiang Xuan is my good friend. I would never betray you! Of course, I hope you won’t do anything bad to Liyue… otherwise, I would be really sad.”
Jiang Xuan laughed in spite of himself and nodded slightly.
“Don’t worry. As long as Ganyu and Keqing are in Liyue, I will only help you protect it.”
Ganyu’s eyes crinkled happily, and she said softly, “Do you need me to help you with something, Jiang Xuan?”
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
“In a way, yes. But more importantly… I want to give you and Keqing a gift…”
“A gift?” Ganyu scratched her head in curiosity.
Jiang Xuan didn’t keep her in suspense.
With a flick of his finger, a shimmering portal bloomed before them.
Through the portal, a world of birdsong and fragrant flowers could be faintly seen.
Meeting Ganyu’s shocked gaze, Jiang Xuan smiled faintly.
“How about sharing an entire world with you? Do you like it?”
4.
Ganyu, Keqing: Behold My MC Floating Magic
Liyue Harbor.
In a secluded courtyard at the foot of Mt.
Tianheng.
Jiang Xuan, Keqing, and Ganyu were sitting in the living room drinking tea.
To be precise, Jiang Xuan was the only one drinking tea.
Keqing and Ganyu were still numb with shock.
Not long after Jiang Xuan showed Ganyu the portal back at The Chasm, Keqing had returned.
Seeing Ganyu completely lost in thought, Keqing had curiously asked what happened.
And then…
Keqing went numb too.
Even their return to Liyue Harbor had been made in a daze, with her simply following Jiang Xuan.
It had really been a struggle for him.
Who would have known that the Teleport Waypoint actually required elemental energy to operate?
Where would Jiang Xuan get such a thing!
What Pyro Vision?
That was literally just an AK-47!
After messing around with it for ages, he had wanted to ask Ganyu and Keqing to help him figure it out, but they had been too unresponsive.
In the end, out of options, Jiang Xuan had experimentally poked the Teleport Waypoint with his Yamato.
To his surprise, it actually worked.
Jiang Xuan was greatly surprised, and he concluded that this Teleport Waypoint wasn’t some kind of Khaenri’ahn elemental alchemy technology.
The Yamato didn’t possess any elemental energy.
If he had to describe it, the Yamato only possessed one kind of power.
