32 Gwen is smart, Lynn gives her a thumbs up

"Miss? Who are you? How can you make a gold and crystal shield out of thin air?"

"That..."

"Miss, where are you from? Are your hair and eye color real?"

"...."

"Miss, you are so strong! Are you a superhero, are you Spider Woman's friend?"

"...no."

"Miss, what's your name?"

"...."

"Miss, are you a meta human?"

"Meta human?"

Seeing many people with strange technology aimed at her face, Ningguang was confused and didn't know what to do.

These people surrounded her, there were also people in police uniforms who seemed to want to discuss something with her. Unlike the policewoman before, now she felt that it would not be good for her to follow those policemen.

She felt that it would be more inconvenient than dealing with people who kept asking questions while glaring at her face.

'Should I run away? These people started asking about my identity. If I tell them that I came from another world...'

'Even if I lie. With the technology these people have, there might be a way to confirm whether my identity is real or not.'

'The best option is to run away! By the way, the person called Spider Woman also ran away after doing something similar to me!'

'So why don't I do the same with that Spider Woman?'

When Ningguang just realized this, she felt like her intelligence was diminished. Why was she only thinking about it now? Because it was difficult to break through the crowd and she also didn't want to commit any violent acts that might get herself into trouble.

She tapped her one foot to the ground, geo-manipulation also working to manipulate the ground. Immediately, the ground beneath her foot was lifted 15 meters high.

"Wow! She can manipulate the ground too?!"

"Putting that aside, that beautiful woman is running away!"

"Damn, miss wait!"

"Miss, stop! We, the police, have questions for you!"

Not only the reporters, but the police were also yelling for Ningguang to stop. But would Ningguang stop? She didn't. She manipulated the ground beneath her feet again to extend sideways, making her way to the top of a building. From the not-so-tall building, she jumped from building to building while occasionally manipulating the ground below for her foothold.

After fleeing for tens of meters, while continuously jumping between rooftops, Ningguang sighed, not knowing where she would go, perhaps it would be good to hide in a forest first?

Just as she was thinking like that. A feminine voice sounded beside her. "Hey!"

"!!!"

Ningguang was startled, she stopped and kept her distance from the origin of the voice while creating a geo-shield around her.

Her heart almost jumped, she was really surprised by the person who seemed to overtake her and she had seen her.

It was the person called Spider Woman!

*Cough*

"Sorry, sorry, did I startle you too much? Don't worry, I just wanted to say hello."

Gwen actually hadn't run far enough from the scene before and out of curiosity. She followed Ningguang.

Seeing the white-haired woman in unusual clothes in front of her, Gwen thought the woman's costume was very beautiful.

'Where did this woman come from? That hair and those eyes, I can see that it's real.'

'Her figure is also very good, not only is she slender, hers is also bigger than mine!'

Behind her mask, Gwen looked enviously at the figure of the woman in front of her. Although she also believed that her figure was not too bad, as a woman. Comparing her figure to a woman who looked better than her was natural.

She was just a little envious of course, and it didn't make her hate the woman in front of her or anything like that.

Ningguang realized that Spider Woman seemed to be telling the truth, so she deactivated her geo-shield and looked at the woman in the costume covering her entire body with a fake smile.

In her mind, she thought this was a good opportunity to be able to talk nicely with the people of this world to get information.

"Are you the one called Spider Woman? Hello, my name is Ningguang."

Staring at the bulge on Spider Woman's chest, Ningguang was sure the other party was female, especially from her feminine voice. And considering the power she possessed, she felt it was fine to tell the other party her first name to make a good impression...even though she was sure Spider Woman was just a fake name and it was definitely not her real name.

In her opinion, Spider Woman was just a nickname that referred to a warrior identity or something. But no matter, although it was a bit unfair, the situation itself was not good because she definitely needed someone's help in this world.

Spider Woman who seemed kind-hearted so far might be able to help her, at least make her understand many things about this world.

What she needed from the other party was information!

"Ningguang, are you from China?" Gwen asked just because she was curious.

By the way she was actually a little surprised that the woman in front of her changed quite quickly. The expression that was originally wary, now looked very friendly to the point of telling her her own name.

"China? I don't know what place that is. But no, I'm not from there." Ningguang shook her head. If she wanted someone to help her with her problem, then it was inevitable that she would have to admit that she was not from this world.

Gwen tilted her head in confusion. "Not from China? Then where is it from? Oh sorry, looks like I asked too many questions."

The two had just met and she could not even tell her real name and identity to the other party. Gwen felt too shameless if she asked Ningguang too many questions.

But Ningguang didn't seem to think so, she actually told her!

"It's okay, I'm actually from the Teyvat continent, Liyue to be exact."

"Teyvat continent? Liyue? I've never heard of that country or city..."

"Spider Woman, you don't know the names of those places? Well...that's probably natural since that place is in another world."

Now Ningguang was even more convinced that she was in another world after hearing Spider Woman's ignorance about Teyvat/Liyue.

Gwen was getting more and more confused, and she must not have heard wrongly that Ningguang said she was from another world. Ningguang didn't seem to be lying either, so did this woman really come from another world?

To be honest from her appearance alone, Ningguang did look out of place, she could see that Ningguang didn't seem to know much about this world.

But hey...is it okay to tell her this much?

She wasn't sure, would Ningguang trust a stranger like her that much?

"Um... Ningguang, why are you telling me this much? You know, originally I just wanted to say hello... And I suggest you don't tell strangers about your identity, especially the information of where you're from because it would definitely be troublesome if it was known by the police or people from the government."

Gwen seriously reminded Ningguang.

Ningguang on the other hand smiled slightly, of course she knew what Spider Woman said was true. And actually what she was doing right now was like betting that Spider Woman was worth trusting!

In her mind, she sighed. Looks like she didn't pick the wrong person, right?

Staring at Spider Woman for a few seconds, she decided to tell the other party her problem, hoping that the other party could help her.

And of course, it would not be for free. At the very least, she would definitely try to repay the other party's help in the future. If she could even return to Liyue, she wouldn't mind giving Spider Woman a lot of gold coins like mora.

"Spider Woman, you asked why I told you this far? Well... There's actually a reason for that."

"Not long ago, I was suddenly transported to this world by a portal from my world by force. I don't know how to get back to my world."

"Although this is troublesome, I actually have an idea to ask for your help. Spider Woman, can you help me? I know it's a bit inappropriate when we've just met, but I will definitely repay your help in the future."

Hearing what Ningguang said, Gwen fell silent. She now understood why Ningguang was so kind to tell her so many things.

The other party was apparently transferred to this world forcibly and she definitely did not know and recognize anyone in this world. If she was in the same situation as Ningguang, she would have been terrified and could not help but ask for help from others.

As a person who did superhero work as a hobby, she was naturally moved to help people who asked her for help.

She didn't mind helping Ningguang as much as she could, just for the matter of Ningguang not knowing how to return to her world.

Gwen didn't know how to help Ningguang, not even since she had just become a superhero patrolling around Queens in her spare time. Not only was her superhero experience too little, her powers were also very limited!

She was not even as strong as the other superheroes who had participated in the fight against Abomination a few days ago.

Compared to superheroes like Iron Man, Phoenix, White Queen, Storm, Ashborn and etc. that she had seen on TV.

She, Spider Woman felt weaker than the people she mentioned above.

"Spider Woman, why are you silent? If you refuse, that's fine too...I won't force you." Ningguang said with a wry smile.

Gwen shook her head in slight panic. "No, no, that's not it. I don't mind trying to help you. It's just that for your problem...I don't seem to have enough power to help you."

Ningguang nodded, she smiled and said: "I understand. Actually for my problem. I know it's difficult, and what I need from you is another kind of help."

"Another kind of help? Well if it's something else. Maybe I can help you. Tell me, what kind of help do you need?"

"I just need information and... a temporary place to stay." Ningguang was a little embarrassed to say the latter. She herself did not expect that after becoming the richest person in Liyue, she would one day find herself in a desperate situation where she had to beg someone for a place to stay.

If the people in Liyue, especially the people who knew her knew this. She couldn't believe they wouldn't laugh at her.

She could even imagine Keqing and people like Bediou laughing out loud at the sight of her begging for a place to stay.

Ningguang's face was hot, she tried to keep her face as calm as possible so as not to look embarrassed. Even so, it was hard to hide the slight blush in her ears.

Gwen of course saw this, she wanted to laugh, but fortunately she managed to hold it in.

*Cough*

"I can help you with information. I know you must need information about this world, right? I can help you with that."

"But for a place to stay..."

She could certainly make Ningguang temporarily stay in her house. As someone who came from a middle-class family, her house was not too small and still had a few empty rooms for people other than her family to live in.

But there was a problem, the problem was that her father was a police captain of the New York City Police Department, and he must have received news about Ningguang having acted with Spider Woman to defeat the mutant rats in Queens.

Although her father didn't hate superheroes or people with superpowers, he didn't particularly like them either. That was one of the reasons why she even kept her Spider Woman identity a secret from her parents, especially her father. And she was sure, if she brought Ningguang to her house. Ningguang would definitely be interrogated by her father who came home after work.

That would definitely not be a good thing.

So the idea of letting Ningguang stay in her own house was immediately rejected in her mind. She had to think of another place that could accommodate Ningguang temporarily.

How about renting a hotel room? Well it didn't matter if Ningguang had money, but from her story to get to this world. Gwen was sure Ningguang had no money and she herself didn't have much money to rent a room for a long time as a high school student!

Suddenly she thought of someone, and it was still the same person who had helped her many times.... Well, who else if not Lynn?

She remembered the very rich second-generation Lynn!

Thinking of Lynn, her eyes lit up.

"For a place to stay, I know someone who can help you. No, actually he can probably help you better than me."

"Ningguang, come with me. I'll take you to meet someone."

"Un, alright I'll come with you." Ningguang didn't know who Spider Woman was referring to, but she nodded.

After all, there was no way she could refuse someone who might be able to help her in this situation, right?

Let's at least see who that person is first.

Spider Woman seemed to be more excited when mentioning the person who could help her.

The two must have a good relationship.

As the two left the rooftop with their respective abilities and talked while heading somewhere.

On the roof of the building where the two of them were talking earlier, unbeknownst to them suddenly appeared a purple light that gradually revealed the figure of a person.

That someone had been eavesdropping and secretly watching Gwen and Ningguang's conversation. There was a smirk on his handsome face, well that person was Lynn!

Earlier, when Gwen and Ningguang had just met on the roof. He had also teleported not far away from them and secretly manipulated mana throughout his body to hide his presence.

"Gwen Gwen, I didn't think you would be so smart to bring Ningguang to me."

The person Gwen was referring to Ningguang was, of course, himself and he had confirmed it with his mind reading ability.

Now Gwen must be planning to bring Ningguang to him. Lynn was of course happy, he didn't even need to use his original plan to approach Ningguang and offer his help as Gwen had already done it for him.

In his mind, he gave Gwen a thumbs up and he would definitely give her a gift later.

*Ding*

The cell phone in his pocket rang, Lynn opened his phone and saw that there was a message from Gwen who wanted to meet him.

He of course replied "Okay". Then immediately teleported to the car garage in his house and immediately left again somewhere.

About twenty minutes later.

Lynn's Ferrari finally arrived at its destination. It was at a cafe and dessert restaurant by the sea behind a forest in Queens.

After coming here. As a good citizen, Lynn naturally parked his car in the parking lot provided by the cafe.

After he entered the cafe, he saw that it was quite quiet and it seemed that Gwen had deliberately come here out of consideration for Ningguang who had been exposed on the news not long ago.

"Lynn! Over here!"

In a corner of the cafe that was relatively more hidden, Lynn saw Gwen waving her hand at him and beside her. He could see Ningguang who was now wearing a hooded jacket to hide most of her appearance.

Gwen was also not wearing her Spider Woman costume, it seemed she decided to trust Ningguang to keep her identity a secret.

Lynn had no problem with that, he walked towards them with a smile on his face and sat in front of them.

Gwen naturally moved over, she sat next to him while hugging one of his arms.

"Oh, Gwen Gwen. Did you miss me so much that you couldn't bear to hug me? How cute."

Gwen seemed to have developed a resistance to resist his teasing, she did not even blush and grunted while continuing to hug his arm.

"Yes, I missed you! By the way, I have someone I want to introduce to you."

Gwen was very shameless now.

Lynn felt a little disappointed not to see Gwen who usually blushed easily by his teasing.

He looked at Ningguang whose face was still visible under the hood and he could see her smiling faintly at him.

Lynn pretended not to know who Ningguang was and said: "Your friend, Gwen?"

Gwen on the side nodded, and answered somewhat hesitantly. "Un... Yes, she was my friend not long ago."

Gwen winked a few times at Ningguang.

Ningguang knew it was time she introduced herself. So she removed her hood and revealed her beautiful face and beautiful white hair to the man in front of her.

She noticed the man's gaze was only slightly surprised and appreciative of her beauty. There was no lust or greedy look in his eyes, which made Ningguang's impression of the man in front of her go up a few points.

With a friendly smile, she extended her hand to the man in front of her and said: "Hello sir. My name is Ningguang, nice to meet you."
