Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

'Bang!'

Lin Jiu'an casually tossed it aside.

Ningguang was slammed against the wall like a rag.

The dull impact made Ningguang feel a sweet taste in her throat, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Lin Jiu'an strode toward Ningguang.

Just then, several figures rushed in through the windows and doorways.

The radiance of rock element emanated from Lin Jiu'an.

Countless giant rock hands emerged from the ground, precisely grabbing the dark figures like chicks. With 'crack' and 'splat' sounds, they were crushed into fleshy fragments by the giant rock hands.

Ningguang was completely stunned by what she saw, staring at Lin Jiu'an in disbelief.

"How did you...?"

Why is he so strong in this life?

In an instant, relying on the rock element, he forcefully crushed several powerful Eye of God users?

He's only been in Liyue for a little over a month, hasn't he?

For a moment, Ningguang's heart was filled with confusion and helplessness. She looked at Lin Jiu'an, who was walking towards her as if he had crushed several people like ants, listened to his unhurried footsteps, and saw the fake smile on his face.

For the first time, Ningguang felt a sense of fear.

She endured the burning sensation in her throat and the searing pain in her lungs, using her hands to push herself back.

As she retreated to the corner, leaning against the cold wall, and looked at the man who had walked up to her, Ningguang's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Are you going to kill me?"

Ningguang was scared.

She didn't know if the man was crazy or if he had something to rely on.

The former will die.

the latter...

Ningguang dared not imagine what the latter would happen.

Ningguang leaned against the wall, breathing heavily to get some fresh air.

Lin Jiu'an's figure was reflected in her golden eyes.

Beneath the pale gold cheongsam, her full breasts heaved violently with each breath.

Having barely managed to calm down, Ningguang made a final, hoarse struggle: "If you kill me, you'll never be able to stand in Liyue again."

"Gan Yu can never be with you again."

"Even the Emperor wouldn't agree to that."

"Stop it now. You should be calm by now, right? My promise to you still stands."

Lin Jiu'an squatted down, picked up the unopened bottle of wine, and tossed it to Ningguang.

"Drink it."

Ningguang stared intently at Lin Jiu'an, who showed no sincerity in negotiating.

"Are you really going to fight me to the death?"

"What good will this do you?"

Lin Jiu'an simply walked up to Ningguang and looked down at him.

"Drink it."

Ningguang really didn't understand.

By being with her, he could not only get her but also Gan Yu. Moreover, her intentions had been made so clear that even if he was interested in other women, she could help him get them.

At that time, you'll have money, women, and power—what's so unacceptable about that?

Just because of his mistakes in his past life, he's willing to fight to the death with him?

At this moment, Ningguang knew she was finished, so she simply laughed and gave a look that said, "Do whatever you want with me."

"That's all."

"It seems I overestimated you; you haven't improved much compared to your previous life."

Lin Jiu'an simply repeated, "Let's drink."

Ningguang laughed in anger.

What a lunatic!

"If you want to kill me, just kill me."

"Really not going to drink?" Lin Jiu'an asked seriously.

Ningguang responded with silence.

However, Ningguang's smile vanished the next moment.

"This is not what you drink."

Lin Jiu'an squatted down, roughly grabbed her cheeks with his hands, and pried her mouth open.

He then picked up the bottle of wine, uncorked it, and roughly shoved it into her mouth.

Lin Jiu'an held the bottle tightly with his hand, making sure her already small mouth was sealed against the wine bottle so that not a single drop of wine would spill.

After being restrained, Ningguang tilted her head back and the pungent liquor rushed into her throat. The pain made her want to open her mouth wide, but she couldn't resist the strength of the large hand and wanted not to drink it.

But Lin Jiu'an, as if possessed, forced the bottle down her throat.

Ningguang was scared.

She felt that if she didn't drink, this man would really shove the bottle down her throat.

She could only try to swallow, enduring the pain, gulping down mouthful after mouthful.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Ningguang felt her head was about to be throbbing from the alcohol when the man finally let go of her.

She collapsed to the ground, the empty wine bottle rolling on the floor, her face pressed against the ground as she coughed incessantly.

The once-stunning beauty of her face had lost all trace of nobility and elegance, replaced only by a near-collapsed, garish beauty. Tears streamed down her face, and pale purple liquid occasionally spilled from her mouth, while her body twitched from time to time.

Lin Jiu'an then stood up, looking at her expressionlessly at her broken appearance.

"I'm trying to talk to you nicely, why won't you listen?"

Ningguang clutched her throat, her body trembling twice. She opened her beautiful golden eyes and looked at Lin Jiu'an, her eyes filled with tears.

"What exactly... do you want?"

"Does torturing me... make you...happy?"

"happy?"

Lin Jiu'an smiled and plopped down on the ground, spreading his hands as if he were discussing important matters with Ningguang.

"This isn't about how I want it to be, but how you think you should be doing it."

"look."

Lin Jiu paused for a moment, then counted on his fingers and said, "If you don't understand, let's review it carefully."

"You don't need to doubt me at all."

Believe it or not.

"You know my abilities."

"I came to Liyue not with any intention of doing anything with you, but simply to stay here for a while."

"However, a guy who's already 'dead' came to me and asked for my opinion on Liyue, so I told him all the four questions I'd asked you in my past life, and then he insisted on making me sign some kind of 'contract.'"

Ningguang's cherry lips trembled slightly, and a visible unease finally appeared on her face.

“I couldn’t be bothered with it, but He insisted that I take care of it.”

"You don't need to hate me. Hate Him instead. I can't help it. He has given so much."

"But I didn't actually plan to do anything."

"It means we need to work through the first three of the four questions."

"If you can make the right choice when faced with the first problem and successfully deal with the crisis of the Fatui, then Liyue will still be yours."

"such a pity."

Ningguang trembled, a hint of regret appearing in her beautiful eyes.

So this is what he meant by "intersection"?

If I hadn't considered the negative impact that forced legislation would have on me back then.

If only I hadn't been tempted by that little bit of benefit in the first place.

If only I had...

"But."

Even after that, I still have no feelings for Liyue or you.

"My plan is to resolve those three issues, eliminate the merchants who can't resist the temptation, and then use means to get you to hand over the legislative power. I'll find a suitable person to manage you, and you can handle the rest yourselves. That's all."

"But after thinking about it, I suddenly felt that playing like this was a bit boring."

"so."

Lin Jiu'an clapped his hands with a smile as if he had discovered some novel toy.

"I have a new idea, would you like to hear it?"

Without waiting for Ningguang's reply, he began to speak to himself: "Look."

"Since He no longer wants to be the emperor, He has gone so far as to fake his death for it."

"This position is just sitting empty now."

“There’s an old saying in my hometown: ‘The emperor’s throne rotates, next year it’ll be my turn.’”

"Since that's the case, why don't I become the emperor?"

Chapter Eleven: Why would I kill you?

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Ningguang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although he didn't say anything, the mocking tone was very obvious.

To become an "Emperor"?

Even after the Emperor's 'death,' she, who is now the de facto ruler of Liyue, only thinks about consolidating her power and completely controlling Liyue, but she has never thought about becoming the "Emperor."

The Geo Archon ruled Liyue for over three thousand years.

His existence has deeply penetrated the hearts of the people of Liyue.

Even if he dies, no one will accept someone else taking his place as the next emperor.

The immortals would certainly not agree.

Liyue could change its ruler.

But if you want to become an emperor, you have to ask the immortals if they agree.

Of course, if the emperor suddenly came back to life and appointed someone as the next emperor in front of everyone, then there would be some possibility.

But is that possible?

Ningguang laughed rather unrestrainedly.

After realizing that she couldn't escape it, she simply gave up.

You can kill me or torture me, it doesn't matter. I can't escape now, so do whatever you want with me.

Lin Jiu'an's 'joke' really made her laugh.
