Genshin Impact: Life Simulator

Ningguang, standing far outside the door, witnessed the intimate moment between Ganyu, her fellow adeptus sister, and Nathan.

Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, no longer bearing her usual calculating expression.

The Tianquan turned her head, her elegant profile directed toward the Yuheng who had accompanied her.

Unlike Ningguang, who could still somewhat control her emotions, Keqing... had already clenched her fists.

That feeling of dissatisfaction and anger had accumulated throughout her entire body.

She was like a volcano that needed just one spark to erupt.

"Keqing, let's form an alliance!!!"

Just as the volcano was about to erupt, Ningguang suddenly spoke up.

"Hm? What did you say, Ningguang?"

Keqing snapped back to reality, each word leaving her mouth with maximum effort.

"I'm saying... Ganyu has already formed an alliance with that strange woman, so why don't we form one too?"

Since they had returned to Liyue Harbor too late last night, Ningguang, the Tianquan, still didn't know Shenhe's identity.

However, from the other's otherworldly beauty and intimate actions with Nathan, she could conclude that this was an enemy no less formidable than Ganyu.

Moreover, the two women seemed to have reached a consensus regarding Nathan's affections.

"Impossible! Who would want to form an alliance with bad women like you who want to steal Nathan? He's mine!!!"

After hearing Ningguang's proposal, the volcano that was about to erupt was instantly ignited.

Keqing had already nearly exploded with anger after seeing Ganyu and the other woman kiss Nathan.

Now Ningguang, her rival, actually had the nerve to propose an alliance.

It was this Tianquan who had first competed with her for Nathan.

Making such a request now felt like she was making fun of her.

With her emotions ignited, Keqing didn't bother arguing with Ningguang beside her.

Instead, she quickly strode toward where Nathan was.

As she walked, emotionless mumbles occasionally escaped her lips.

"I was here first... I was here first... I was here first..."

She was anxious, she was anxious, Keqing had completely lost her cool...

...................

"Ganyu, Shenhe, how about letting me go?"

In the courtyard of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Nathan was still enjoying the blessing of being embraced from both sides.

However, this blessing was giving him quite a headache.

"Shouldn't you be delighted by our morning greetings, Nathan?"

At this, Ganyu's thin lips curved slightly upward.

After her earlier attack on Nathan, they were still moist.

"Nathan, don't you like us?"

True to their united front, Shenhe chimed in at the perfect moment.

"If we're talking about delight, there's not much of that, but there's plenty of shock..."

Lowering his gaze, Nathan muttered sarcastically.

"Nathan! Nathan! Nathan..."

However, at this moment, the scene he least wanted to experience appeared.

The two women in his arms hadn't yet left, and now he was suddenly caught by Keqing.

"Nathan... what about me..."

Keqing, completely different from her usually confident self, trembled as she approached him.

"Um... Keqing, it's not what you think!"

"How frustrating, I was clearly here first!!!"

Regarding Keqing's statement, he wanted to retort.

She didn't have golden hair, so why did she keep making statements like a defeated golden retriever?

However, thinking about Keqing's childhood friend status in the life subplot, it all made sense again.

After all, in too many stories, childhood friends couldn't compete against those who suddenly appeared.

"Sister, who is this woman?"

"Nathan, who is this stranger?"

At this moment, showing an entirely unnecessary synchronization, Keqing and Shenhe asked in unison.

"She's Keqing, one of Liyue's Qixing, and also our enemy!"

"This is Shenhe, Ganyu's junior disciple, who just arrived in Liyue Harbor yesterday."

However, the two who answered had completely different emotions.

Nathan explained to Keqing with a bitter smile, while Ganyu described Keqing matter-of-factly.

"If she's an enemy, then we should strike first!"

Hearing her senior disciple's explanation, Shenhe clenched her delicate fist.

Since they had rushed to see Nathan early in the morning, Ganyu hadn't allowed her to bring that crimson greatsword.

Otherwise, in the current situation, she would have already swung her sword at Keqing.

However, even without a weapon in hand, Shenhe channeled elemental power in her palm.

In an instant, she gripped a dagger formed of ice elements.

"Wait, Shenhe, don't be so rash!"

Seeing this, Nathan tightly grabbed her wrist.

No joke, with this immediate battle-ready situation, how could he dare let Shenhe go?

"Don't stop me, Nathan, enemies should be eliminated!"

Even though he restrained her, Shenhe, this ice beauty, still tried to break free from his grip.

While restraining her, Nathan secretly complained that yanderes were truly the most troublesome creatures in the world.

"Nathan, what's going on with this bad woman?"

Feeling Shenhe's murderous gaze, Keqing came to her senses through her haze.

Even though she had many grievances against Ganyu and the others, she hadn't reached the point of violence.

What did this cold woman want to do? That gaze clearly showed killing intent.

"I'm really sorry, Keqing. My junior disciple's thinking is a bit extreme. Once provoked, she sometimes does things that normal people can't understand!"

Facing the questioning, Ganyu, as the senior disciple, apologized.

However, judging by her words, she seemed to be implying something - that Keqing was that provocation she mentioned.

"How can this person be like this... I'm anxious, I'm really anxious!"

Keqing stomped her foot in frustration. It was clearly their sister disciples who had first monopolized Nathan.

Now it seemed like they were pushing all the blame onto her, the childhood friend.

Sensing Keqing's agitated emotions, Shenhe in the embrace turned her head again.

Her icy gaze seemed capable of freezing everything in the world.

The meaning in that gaze, in Keqing's view, was another crazy provocation.

At this moment, silence spoke louder than words, Shenhe seemed to be saying: Get away from Nathan... or you'll definitely regret it!
