33 Gwen blushed, doing it in front of Ningguang

"Ningguang? Hm... My name is Lynn Allen, nice to meet you too. And you're Gwen's friend, so you don't have to be too formal with me, well just call me..Lynn."

While saying that, the two were shaking hands. Lynn was actually a little surprised that one day he could actually meet one of his favorite game characters.

Ningguan's hands were slender and white, warm and soft. This woman was a businesswoman and the ruler of a city/country on the Teyvat continent. Her status was very high in that world, but in this world...

Ningguang was a nobody, the woman who in her world was so proud and confident now looked humble and he could see the need for help in her gaze.

It was a bit sad, but Lynn was happy to see Ningguang like this. After all, a woman in distress was the easiest woman to bring down. As long as there was a man who could help her, and leave a very good impression on her heart. There is a very high chance of making her fall in love with you.

Even if it was a woman like Ningguang, she was no exception and Lynn was confident of conquering her. On the surface he didn't show it, but in his heart, only he knew how bastard and greedy he was.

"Un, then I call you, Lynn."

Ningguang was fooled by Lynn's acting skills. She saw that the man in front of her still had no evil intentions towards her, even after he held her hand. If it was in Teyvat, she definitely wouldn't shake hands with men and she actually kept quite a distance so that others wouldn't touch her carelessly.

But in this world, she knew she could not be so proud of her status as Liyue's richest man and the leader of Liyue Qixing. She presented a humble image now, and didn't mind shaking hands with Lynn because he was the person Gwen trusted to help with her problems.

Gwen herself seemed to trust her quite a lot, even though they had not known each other for long. Gwen did not mind telling her about her true identity behind the Spider Woman mask.

That made Ningguang a little moved of course, so it would be shameless and evil if she was even reluctant to shake hands with this man named Lynn Allen.

Normally, in her world, because of her beauty, many men would often stare at her with hot or lascivious gazes secretly whenever she appeared in public. She always pretended to be oblivious to all those stares of course.

Why? Because it's natural for men to lust after beautiful or sexy women. Ningguang was also self-conscious about her beauty, as long as those men didn't dare to do anything reckless to attack her, she was fine and could still refrain from taking offense.

At most she just felt a little uncomfortable, but there was something different this time. Although she was not the type to judge people by appearance, she had to admit in the back of her mind that the appearance of this man named Lynn was very handsome compared to all the men she had seen-making her feel no discomfort whatsoever.

Even when the other party touched her, she didn't mind, and instead was curious about Lynn's hand that was bigger than her and felt how warm and strong the man's arm was.

The atmosphere around the two became strange, Ningguang didn't even realize that she was staring at Lynn's face without blinking and forgot that the two of them had been shaking hands for quite a while... Until someone coughed.

*Cough!* *Cough!*

It was Gwen. She looked at her second hand that was still connected to each other while frowning and pretending to cough.

One of her hands even pinched Lynn's waist.

She was jealous and began to doubt whether it would be okay to hand Ningguang over to Lynn?

Damn, she forgot to consider Ningguang's beauty before deciding to ask Lynn for help!

Lynn is a man after all, isn't it natural for him to be attracted to beautiful and sexy women? Especially a beautiful woman like Ningguang who has white hair and red eyes. Her looks alone are enough to be the subject of many men's wet dreams.

Gwen's spider sense is ringing, warning her that she's feeling a love crisis. Because of her own actions, Ningguang might become her rival!

Hearing Gwen's deliberate coughing sound, Lynn and Ningguang naturally let go of their connected hands.

Ningguang was a little embarrassed, although her face looked calm and only smiled faintly.

Only Lynn turned his head and looked at Gwen with a grin on his face. He still felt Gwen's hand pinching his waist.

If he was an ordinary person, he would have screamed in pain by now because Gwen probably didn't realize that her pinch was using a few percent of her superpower!

It was enough to tear the skin of a normal person and if he was a normal man. His waist probably had a small tear by now!

Crazy, fortunately his power and physical defenses as Herrscher are enough to make him immune to a few percent of Spider Woman's physical power.

Even so, he feigned slight pain and moved Gwen's hand away from his waist.

Gwen who saw Lynn's pained expression panicked. "Ah, sorry Lynn! Does it hurt? I accidentally used a few percent of my power..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine. If you want to touch, you should do it gently like this, In this part, Gwen Gwen..." Lynn said while whispering in her ear.

Gwen blushed, not because of Lynn's words, but because of Lynn's hand, moving her hand to a certain part at his pants.

She wanted to say how perverted the man's actions were, especially when they were both sitting in front of other person. Ningguang might not be able to see what was going on under the table, but right now Gwen felt mixed feelings like fear of being caught and at the same time eager to continue.

Although she was only rubbing the outside of his pants, she could feel Lynn's long and thick object hidden inside his pants.

Her hand moved as if rubbing it and it was getting harder and hotter.

Gwen swallowed, even so she continued to move her hand under the table and pretended nothing was happening while looking at Ningguang.

Lynn was also doing the same thing in part staring at Ningguang and secretly enjoying Gwen's hand rubbing his dragon cage.

Ningguang didn't know what was happening under the table, she was just confused why Gwen suddenly asked Lynn if it hurt and Lynn suddenly whispered to Gwen.

"Um... Gwen, what's wrong?"

"Ah it's nothing, I just accidentally stepped on Lynn's foot under the table." Gwen said with a smile.

"Right, it didn't really hurt. But Gwen was too worried so she asked me if it hurt or not." Lynn also added.

"Oh..." Ningguang nodded. Unfortunately she really didn't think that Gwen and Lynn were doing perverted things under the table.

"So Gwen... Why did you want me to come here? Does it have anything to do with Ningguang?" Lynn's acting skills were so good, his facial expression didn't even change as Gwen's hands got more and more excited under the table.

Gwen's mind was filled with dirty things, she barely heard Lynn's question and said with some confusion. "Y-Yes... That's Ningguang, she's actually..."

While moving her hands under the table, she explained Ningguang's problem and hoped Lynn could help her.

It only took a few minutes for Gwen to explain the details of Ningguang's problem to Lynn and after that she just had to watch while continuing to perform the most perverted act she had ever done in her life.

The immoral feeling of doing it secretly in front of Ningguang excited her, especially when she touched the thing of the man she liked.

Lynn nodded at Gwen's explanation. He looked at Ningguang with surprise, it was pretend of course.

"Ningguang, so you're from another world? That's amazing... About your problem. Since this is also Gwen's request, I don't mind helping you as much as I can."

"Lynn... Gwen... Thank you. I will definitely repay you guys in the future."

After that, Ningguang even took the initiative to tell us about herself, such as who she was in Liyue and others to further convince Lynn and Gwen.

Lynn and Gwen listened to Ningguang's story while continuing to do perverted things under the table. Both of them exclaimed in amazement several times and asked curiously what the Teyvat continent was like.

Although Lynn already knew, Gwen did not. And the latter was really interested in hearing about the world Ningguang came from.

Ningguang also didn't mind explaining what kind of world she was from. Lynn of course ordered snacks and drinks for the two girls sitting with him. Gwen enjoyed eating and drinking as usual. As for Ningguang? She was curious about the food and drinks in this world. At first she hesitated because it was bought by Lynn's money, but after her stomach rumbled, with a slightly flushed face, she accepted Lynn's treat.

The first time she tasted the modern food and drinks in this world, she was naturally amazed and couldn't help but think if she could copy the recipes of the modern food and drinks in this world to produce in Liyue?

Well it was possible to do, but the problem was...

Would she even be able to return to Liyue anytime soon?

Despite not showing her worry on her face, she was actually worried what would happen to Liyue without her presence.

Liyue's security could probably still be left to Liyue's soldiers, Liyue Qixing, the Adeptus and Rex Lapis. The latter two might only appear when Liyue faced a crisis of destruction where Liyue would be destroyed or all the residents there were in danger. But basically she still felt relieved by the presence of the latter two.

So Liyue's safety would probably be fine to some extent.

But what she was most sure of was Liyue's economy which, without her presence, would have suffered a huge setback.

Ningguang wondered if the secretaries and people closest to her had realized that she had disappeared from her office?

If they had noticed... They must have all panicked.

...

On the Teyvat continent, in Liyue to be exact.

What Ningguang thought was true.

Many people in the Jade Chamber were already starting to panic as they could not find Ningguang anywhere after more than 6 hours of searching. One of Ningguang's secretaries, Baishi decided to get off the Jade Chamber and run to Liyue harbor to inform Keqing who was usually patrolling there about Ningguang whose whereabouts were now unknown.

"Sttt... Don't speak too loudly. It would be bad if the people from Fatui or that damn neighboring bank heard it."

"Ah... I understand, Lady Keqing." Baishi nodded, she also covered her mouth and looked around frantically.

Keqing pulled Baishi's arm and led her to the deserted harbor side by the sea.

With her purple hair tied up in a twintail style and cat ear-shaped hair on top of her head, Keqing's gaze was also cat-like as she looked attentively at Baishi.

The beauty now looked intimidating as she stood in front of Baishi.

Baishi could not help but be nervous facing Keqing's gaze. The woman in front of her was only slightly lower in status than her boss, Ningguang. The other party was one of the members of Liyue Qixing's "Seven Stars of Liyue" whose status could clearly be considered high in Liyue.

In addition, the other party also had enough strength to be the leader of Liyue's army troops. So a Ningguang secretary like herself was also clearly inferior to the purple-haired woman in front of her.

Therefore when dealing with Keqing, her posture also became more polite. Even so, in this situation her face was still panicked!

After all, her idol and boss did not know where she had gone.

Baishi was afraid that someone might have kidnapped Ningguang and something bad had happened to her.

"Baishi, are you sure Ningguang was not found anywhere in the Jade Chamber?" Keqing asked as she folded her arms with a serious look.

"I'm sure Lady Keqing. Lady Ningguang would even always notify me or her other secretaries whenever she went somewhere. But this time there was absolutely no notice and it has been six hours since I last saw Lady Ningguang in her study."

"Everyone in the Jade Chamber has searched every corner of the Jade Chamber, but we did not find Lady Ningguang's whereabouts at all."

"What about looking for her in Liyue? Wait, that's why you came to me?" Keqing asked as if she realized something.

Baishi nodded and said, "Yes... The situation is an emergency. We need the army's help to search every corner of Liyue for Lady Ningguang's whereabouts."

"Lady Keqing, can you?"

Looking at Baishi who was staring at her so anxiously, Keqing raised her original. "Of course, Ningguang is my friend, besides her presence is very important to Liyue."

"Without her and her brains, I'm afraid Liyue's economy will decline. There's also the matter of the Fatui people who, when they hear this news, will surely get excited and move to make trouble in Liyue."

"It looks like the search will also have to be done secretly."

Keqing also realized the seriousness of the matter, and was actually anxious about Ningguang's unknown whereabouts.

Had she gone somewhere without telling anyone or had she been kidnapped by someone?

The former was still fine as it was probably only a matter of time before Ningguang returned, but what if it was the latter?

If Ningguang was really kidnapped, Liyue's situation was really bad!

She was even worried that the person who kidnapped Ningguang was doing something bad to the woman. After all, aside from her status, Ningguang's appearance was also very beautiful.

Keqing's thoughts went wild, probably because she had read too many novels that Yae Publishing House was selling that were sent from Inazuma. She... Um... Worried about Ningguang being corrupted by a bad guy.

"...Lady Keqing, why does your face seem a bit red? Are you running a fever? If you are ill, the search for Lady Ningguang might be..." Baishi was actually worried that the search for her boss would be hampered by Keqing's lack of health.

*Cough*

Keqing immediately pretended to cough and said with her face back to normal. "No, I don't have a fever. Putting that aside, I will immediately order the army's to search for Ningguang's whereabouts."

The purple twintail fluttered and there was a spark of purple lightning that enveloped Keqing's body before she disappeared very quickly.

Baishi blinked her eyes, she still looked anxious and began to put her hands together in prayer.

"O great god of wealth and contracts above. Please protect Lady Ningguang wherever she is and please make her return to us."

Not knowing if the prayer would be useful or not, at least she had tried.

At the same time, at a certain tea shop in Liyue.

A handsome man in an exquisite-looking black suit closed his eyes and opened them after a while.

He sighed and muttered after taking a sip of his tea while sitting down. "A few hours ago I felt a power that was not from the Teyvat continent in the Jade Chamber."

"...Maybe that's why that Ningguang girl disappeared? It seems like she was taken somewhere far away from the Teyvat continent by that power."

"Even with my contract ability linked to her, I can't detect her whereabouts."

Rex Lapis or Morax with his mortal body named Zhongli, he certainly heard Baishi's prayers to him. And that's why he was at least trying to find Ningguang with his powers.

But the result was useless, he really couldn't find Ningguang's whereabouts. It seemed like she really didn't exist on the Teyvat continent at all.

He knew this had to do with the mysterious power he felt a few hours ago.

Now he began to wonder what was the purpose of that power to kidnap Ningguang? With such a powerful force, why would a being possessing that power kidnap a little girl like Ningguang? Obviously it wasn't because of Ningguang's status.

There had to be another motive that person like him, who had lived for hundreds of years did not understand what the mysterious power's purpose was for kidnapping.

Author note

Lately I've been writing other books on my patreon, so the frequency of updates on this book has been slow.

Speaking of the new books I posted on patreon, they are titled: Training Villainess Otome! (5 chapters), and My women's clothing makes all the protagonists and heroines fall in love with me (7 chapters). The inner voice fanfic also has a new chapter there. Well, the point is that in writing novels, I'm busy with the books I mentioned above.

It's not that I don't want to update this book, it's just that it's hard to get the mood for it when I get ideas for other books.
