Genshin Impact: My villain system is a little different.

Yae Miko nodded at Jiang Ning. Indeed, at his age, young men were experiencing first love, having feelings for girls was perfectly normal.

However, Yae Miko completely forgot that the youth before her was the new archon she'd just identified.

Yae Miko called a shrine maiden to bring over the fortune slip container, then told Jiang Ning: "These are for safety fortunes. You can draw one for your friend."

Jiang Ning silently thought of Guizhong and Havria's names, then drew two slips.

One to see if the revival would go smoothly, the other to check if reconstructing the archon's body would succeed.

Looking at them, hmm, who wrote these? Each character was recognizable individually, but together they were like heavenly script.

Jiang Ning looked at Yae Miko:

"What does this mean?"

Yae Miko said: "Let me see..."

Speaking, she looked surprised: "Are your friends in foreign trade? These are both great fortunes."

"Simply put, everything will go smoothly, with good health."

Jiang Ning was very satisfied: "Seems their matters will go well."

Though for Jiang Ning this was just psychological comfort, it still made him feel better.

After all, if he drew great fortune, it was heaven's mandate; if terrible fortune, he'd defy heaven's will.

It was all about defying fate.

Havria spoke in Jiang Ning's mind:

"Who did you draw fortunes for?"

Jiang Ning said: "You and Guizhong, just for some peace of mind."

Havria was very pleased: "Mm-hmm, didn't waste sister's help getting Eula for you."

She had been busy then, working on Eula's side, creating the environment and opportunities.

Jiang Ning was confused - ah, how did this get to Eula?

But Havria didn't dwell on this topic, instead saying:

"Hehe, since the fortunes say so, let's go ahead boldly."

Jiang Ning agreed.

Yae Miko, seeing Jiang Ning silent, asked curiously: "Little one, why so quiet? The fortune results are good, anything unsatisfactory?"

Jiang Ning said: "Nothing unsatisfactory, just thinking about how to draw the romance fortune next."

Yae Miko understood, smiling: "Don't think too hard about these things, just let them flow naturally."

Jiang Ning nodded, then looked at the other container.

He casually drew one, not caring about his romance fortune, just curious what result he'd get given he already had three or four wives.

Knowing he couldn't understand the result, he simply handed it to Yae Miko.

Yae Miko's beautiful eyes glanced over it, then looked at Jiang Ning strangely:

"Surprising, little one... your romance fortune is very strong."

Jiang Ning was startled - was this thing so accurate?

Yae Miko teased: "I didn't expect you, looking so well-behaved, to be such a playboy? Or at least have such bold thoughts?"

Pointing her jade-like finger at Jiang Ning's forehead, she said:

"Such greedy thoughts aren't good. You must take responsibility for girls, can't be fickle."

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, then denied: "I'm not fickle. I'm very serious, and I never hide any emotional matters from those I like."

He really hadn't hidden anything - look, his harem was completely open.

And he had the ability too.

Unlike that Liyue playboy sailor who reportedly strung along one in Liyue, dumped one in Sumeru, and deceived one in Inazuma.

Supposedly when discovered, the involved party broke his legs, and he was still recovering at home.

Seeing Jiang Ning say he wouldn't be fickle, Yae Miko nodded satisfactorily, but then felt it boring.

In Inazuma light novels, such beautiful young men were only interesting when experiencing various love triangles, so she changed her tune:

"But without experiencing several loves, how do you know who's your true love? Don't lose the watermelon while picking up sesame seeds."

Jiang Ning looked at Yae Miko strangely: "Didn't you just tell me not to be fickle?"

Yae Miko said seriously: "Yes, but dating one then breaking up, then dating another, isn't being fickle. At most it's just having rich romantic experience."

Havria whispered inside Jiang Ning: "She's trying to trick you."

Jiang Ning's expression didn't change: "I can tell."

Jiang Ning thought for a moment: "But I don't need that."

Yae Miko: "Hm?"

Jiang Ning told Yae Miko very seriously: "Though not married yet, I already have four fiancées..."

Yae Miko pursed her cherry lips: "Arranged marriages by elders?"

That was all she could think - in her hundreds of years, she'd never seen such a young man get four girls by his own ability.

Jiang Ning said: "No."

"Then how can you say you're not fickle?"

"I'm not. They all know about each other and get along very well."

Yae Miko was confused - what did this mean?

But thinking carefully, this youth's background must be extraordinary. So perhaps these were four beautiful but common-born women willing to share?

Before she could pursue this thought, Jiang Ning continued:

"Let me count... One is the former Knights of Favonius reconnaissance captain, the Spindrift Knight, Eula Lawrence..."

Lawrence... No wonder. Though a knight and noble, Yae Miko had heard the Lawrence Clan's status in Mondstadt was even lower than common drunks, so this wasn't surprising.

"Then there's my senior sister, Shenhe, currently helping the head chef at Wanmin Restaurant."

Yae Miko waited, confirming this Shenhe had no other identity, and understood.

Got it - noble youth goes to poor sect, seduces beautiful common-born senior sister...

Mm, note this down, good light novel idea.

Then seeing Yae Miko's "as expected" expression, Jiang Ning suddenly showed a mischievous smile:

"The other two are Liyue's Tianquan, Sister Ningguang, and another senior sister - you know her, the Qixing's Chief Secretary, Senior Sister Ganyu."

Then Jiang Ning spoke rapidly: "Since you call Ganyu 'sister', then nice to meet you, I'm your brother-in-law, Miss Yae."

"Huh?" Yae Miko's expression looked somewhat dumbfounded for a moment.

What did this youth say? What brother-in-law? Wait, didn't he mention the Tianquan?

"Excuse me, I think I misheard, you..."

Yae Miko smiled.

Jiang Ning said: "Mm... call me brother-in-law."

Saying this, he took out Ganyu's personal token with her adeptal energy. Seeing this love token-like object, Yae Miko had to believe.

Her first thought wasn't amazement at Ganyu finally blooming, but suddenly feeling this Sister Ganyu couldn't be kept.

At her age, this wasn't how to rob the cradle!

But quickly, Yae Miko took a deep breath, forcibly calmed down, then said:

"This... Jiang Ning, you and Sister Ganyu really..."

Jiang Ning said: "Absolutely... we sleep together every night."

Yae Miko fell silent, somehow feeling time's passage and life's changes.

When did the gentle Sister Ganyu, like a Glaze Lily, start cradle-robbing?

The usually mischievous Yae Miko now seriously told Jiang Ning:

"If Sister Ganyu is breaking the law, doesn't Liyue care? If you're being threatened, stay in Inazuma. If needed I can talk to Sister Ganyu."

Jiang Ning said: "Well... not at all, we're mutually in love."

The unconscious happiness and fulfillment in his words made Yae Miko, a fox who'd been single for so many years, somehow envious.

Yae Miko said: "Then with so many, um, fiancées already, why seek romance fortune?"

Jiang Ning said: "Senior Sister Ganyu and Master told me to, saying I have too few."

"Huh?"

This left the fox lady confused. Why say too few? Is something wrong with your sect? They're saying this is too few?

Yae Miko was very interested: "Why?"

"Master said she wants to hold grand-disciples soon, but due to certain unspeakable reasons, the probability is very low, so can only rely on quantity and frequency..."

Jiang Ning said.

Previously as an adeptus and now an archon, the rank difference with humans like Eula and Ningguang was quite large, so he could only convert things to energy for them to absorb, nourishing their bodies to help them reach immortality sooner.

As for Shenhe... slightly better, but still similar.

For Ganyu, it was natural law - when both parents were very strong, the probability of offspring was low.

Then Xianyun was anxious. In Shenhe's words, she was so desperate she wanted to join in herself.

In short, Xianyun ordered: hurry up, need to expand the sect. With Liyue's adepti either ascending or retiring, if they didn't produce successors soon, in a few hundred years there'd hardly be any adepti willing to enter society.

Zhongli strongly approved and silently endorsed Xianyun's idea.

Yae Miko fell silent again.

Originally thought that as a fox spirit, though without practical experience, she'd read books for many years and knew many things and tricks to accept.

But thinking herself unmatched, she found there were even more impressive people. Where did you study?

Yae Miko said: "Um... do you have any thoughts now? Or besides these four, any girls you're interested in?"

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, then said: "Yes..."

"Who? Can you tell me?"

"No."

Jiang Ning felt saying he had improper thoughts about his master in front of a stranger would definitely lead to social death.

Yae Miko's fox ears twitched as she pondered.

After suppressing her surprise, she remembered Jiang Ning might be an archon, so deception and manipulation wouldn't work.

But this little one seemed very pure, with his harmless appearance.

Honestly, Yae Miko felt if she didn't tease and flirt a bit, it would feel like little foxes crawling all over her.

But she couldn't go too far, or she didn't want to get beaten.

What method should she use to trap Jiang Ning...

Though a divine attendant, Yae Miko really wanted to see her archon get thoroughly beaten by someone.

Preferably beaten until crying and rolling on the ground.

"We have many young ladies in Inazuma too, want to take a look?"

After thinking, Yae Miko decided to approach from this angle, but with a joking tone.

Couldn't be too deliberate.

"...No need."

Jiang Ning looked suspiciously at Yae Miko - why was this woman acting like a matchmaker?

Or was this some Inazuman tradition?

Yae Miko didn't insist: "Want to help sister with something?"

Jiang Ning was wary: "Tell me."

Yae Miko said: "Since you're Sister Ganyu's husband, you're my friend too. Originally thought I couldn't trouble outsiders, so didn't ask."

"But now it's different. Are you interested in helping us clear out some Nobushi and monsters in the wild? Don't worry, the reward will be good. Besides, you're quite strong, right?"

Jiang Ning frowned - what did this woman want? What did she mean?

"Sister Havria, what do you think?"

Havria said: "Me? I don't know."

Though Havria was a god, she wasn't very good with matters of wisdom.

So she chose to watch.

Jiang Ning thought: "Well, I could... but the reward must satisfy me. Also, you know Inazuma's current situation - my Liyue credentials are useless here. I don't want to help you but still get questioned by your people."

Yae Miko quickly said: "Don't worry, I'll give you the Guuji's token later. Seeing it is like seeing the Grand Narukami Shrine's Guuji herself. Besides the Raiden Shogun's direct edicts, this is the most privileged token."

"Alright then..."

Jiang Ning nodded. He'd make noise dealing with divine remains and absorbing remnants in the wild, so this would be quite convenient.

Seeing him agree, Yae Miko's eyes showed joy:

"Then wait a bit, I'll prepare your token."

With this, plus disturbances in the wild...

The Raiden Shogun would definitely know.

Sorry, little brother-in-law, you'll have to fall into the trap.
