Chapter 10 - Love at First Sight? Keqing Doesn't Buy It!

"Interesting."

Lin Ze nodded after hearing Ningguang's words. As expected of Ningguang, the Tianquan Star, and the leader of the Seven Stars.

To have climbed from a barefoot girl hawking goods on the streets to the position of Tianquan Star, it was clear she was no simple person.

"I do know quite a bit about you all, and of course, there are things I don't know.

But, I'm not that curious. Since I'm here, I just want to enjoy life.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll answer to the best of my ability."

Lin Ze knew much about Teyvat, but of course, there was even more he didn't know.

But, Lin Ze believed that based on what he knew now, it was enough.

It was enough for him to live a beautiful life in this world.

As for the system, Lin Ze didn't have any desire to probe it. This damn system wasn't even as useful as his Black Flag Power.

He just used it to kill time every day, hoping for some unexpected gains.

Lin Ze's words also caused Ningguang to be slightly stunned, and she couldn't help but take another puff of her pipe.

There was simply too much she wanted to know, and for a moment, Ningguang didn't even know what to ask.

Dong! Dong!

"Baiwen, inform Liyue Pavilion, I will be entertaining a distinguished guest tonight."

"Since I don't know what to ask first, I might as well arrange the itinerary for the rest of the trip."

Thinking this, Ningguang turned to look at Lin Ze and spoke again.

"There are too many questions; I don't know where to begin.

Mr. Lin Ze, I'm hosting a dinner at Liyue Pavilion tonight. Please don't refuse."

Lin Ze naturally wouldn't refuse and agreed with a nod.

At the same time, Ningguang was hesitating, overwhelmed with questions and unsure how to start.

Keqing, however, was much more direct.

"Mr. Lin Ze, regarding what you mentioned earlier in the opportunity, about the incident where the Geo Archon was assassinated…"

Immediately, Lin Ze and the others began discussing Zhongli's plan to fake his death and relinquish power.

The conversation gradually expanded, and they continued to exchange ideas.

Lin Ze truly lived up to his word, answering every question.

Mainly, the topics they discussed didn't involve any sensitive matters.

If they had inquired about the Past Life of Sun and Moon, Lin Ze wouldn't have revealed any information.

Time passed slowly. Soon, the sun began to set, and Lin Ze and the others moved to Liyue Pavilion.

They started their meal, continuing their conversation as they ate.

This also allowed Lin Ze to experience firsthand what Liyue Cuisine was all about.

It's quite delicious, actually. There's a certain exotic charm to it.

Unfortunately, compared to all the delicacies of his past life, Lin Ze still thought it was a little lacking.

But, he enjoyed it nonetheless. Relatively speaking, Lin Ze was quite adaptable.

"Mr. Lin Ze, you mentioned earlier that you wanted to enjoy life.

I wonder, Mr. Lin Ze, what exactly are your plans?"

After chatting for a while, Keqing finally steered the conversation towards Lin Ze's future plans.

Lin Ze had expressed a desire to enjoy life, but there were many ways to do so.

The methods of enjoyment might also differ between different worlds. Keqing thought it would be best to understand some things better.

"Look at the mountains, look at the water, look at the scenery, earn some Mora, enjoy tea, enjoy wine, enjoy life.

Then find a few pleasing beauties to marry, have children, and continue the family line. That's enough for me."

Lin Ze didn't hide it, at least, that's what he thought for now.

Look at the beautiful landscape of Teyvat, find a few pretty young ladies, marry them, have children, and have a harem that's not too big and not too small.

"By the way, just asking, Teyvat shouldn't have a strict one-man-one-woman marriage system, right?"

After answering Keqing's question, Lin Ze suddenly realized and added another inquiry.

If Teyvat didn't have a strict one-man-one-woman system, then it would be a godsend for Lin Ze.

Even if it did, it wouldn't matter. He had already transmigrated, and he had such abilities. In a novel, he would definitely be the protagonist.

Now, he didn't want to be the protagonist. He just wanted a large family with many wives and children. That unadorned thought shouldn't be impossible, right?

"Teyvat doesn't have any restrictions in that regard, but most families practice monogamy.

Many large families are like that. For example, in my family, my father only has my mother as his wife, and he hasn't taken any concubines."

Keqing didn't feel anything about Lin Ze's question, nor did she look down on him because of it.

Although her family didn't have concubines, there were some large families in Liyue where the elders had many wives and concubines.

In Liyue, there were no restrictions on this, as long as it was consensual.

"That's good that you don't object. Of course, perhaps in the future, I might not be able to bear the living environment here.

Maybe I'll bring out some things from our world to improve the living environment."

"Overall, Liyue should be considered to have profited as well."

Lin Ze nodded in understanding, finally at ease. As long as Teyvat wasn't resistant to this, it was fine.

'As long as it's voluntary, huh? Perhaps I should make some plans and start by winning over that person.'

'Speaking of which, should I return Keqing and Ganyu's… assets?'

Muttering to himself, Lin Ze couldn't help but glance at Keqing.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked. That one glance caused different thoughts to arise in the minds of all three women.

Ningguang thought, 'Is Mr. Lin Ze interested in Keqing?'

Yelan thought, 'I just found out that Liyue doesn't have strict monogamy, and he's already looking for potential harem members? Truly…'

Yelan thought, Can someone like this really be trusted?

Yelan mused, He's fine now, with no ulterior motives. But what if he develops them in the future? Can Liyue handle that?

Keqing turned her head, asking herself, Why is she looking at me? She's not… interested in me, is she? But we've just met. Is this just about looks??

Keqing didn't believe in love at first sight. As the Yuheng Star, she was young, beautiful, and in good shape.

She had plenty of admirers, many of whom professed love at first sight.

However, Keqing had a different perspective. What was called love at first sight was just attraction to appearances.

This Lin Ze in front of her, perhaps he was just after appearances as well.

But his identity was not ordinary, which made Keqing uneasy. How should she face Lin Ze afterward?

What if Lin Ze just started acting? What was she supposed to do then?

Sacrifice herself? Keqing didn't have any such thoughts.

"Ahem, Mr. Lin Ze, this is the first time we've met.

Personally, I don't believe in love at first sight. I'm more inclined to believe it's just lust."

With a complicated mix of emotions, Keqing coughed twice, hinting at Lin Ze.

She hoped Lin Ze would back down.

Lin Ze, upon hearing this, was slightly stunned, then shook his head, finding it somewhat amusing.

"I don't believe in love at first sight either. Is that love? That's clearly just wanting someone's body, how vulgar!"

"I was just thinking about the reward from that diary.

Should I return it to you? Along with Ganyu's?"
