005: Its Name Is Tan Xiaoshi, Not A Monster!

If you ask...What is the most iconic building in Liyue?Then, people in Liyue will definitely point to a palace floating in Soaring in the sky.It is called Qunyu Pavilion.It is owned by Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, the 'Heavenly Power Star'.Qunyu Pavilion is not only magnificent, but also uses various precious materials to make it float in the air.Such a grand handicraft, there is no other one in the whole Liyue.Early this morning, Keqing invited to the Qunyu Pavilion.In the office of Qunyu Pavilion...At this time, two women were talking, one of them was Keqing, as for the other...A mature woman with long white hair down to her waist, wearing a tight cheongsam with gold and white inlays, was talking to Keqing at this time."I think the proposal you gave me last time was too risky. After all, the 'Seven Stars Inviting Immortals Ceremony' is coming soon. At least wait until then to talk about this matter."There is no doubt that this beautiful and mature woman is the richest woman in Liyue!At the same time, she is also the one who controls the Heavenly Power Star among the Seven Stars of Liyue... Ningguang!Keqing seemed to have anticipated Ningguang's statement."Now that Liyue has begun to enter the era of human rule, it is time for the immortals to withdraw. Humans, in the end, will have to rely on themselves."There are immortals in Liyue.For thousands of years, the people of Liyue have been blessed by immortals and have lived through the war-torn era in a stable manner.The people of Liyue all fear immortals and gods.But there are also people like Keqing who only respect immortals and gods in their hearts, but think that the times are different now. Now this is the capital of trade and the era of human management.People should use their own hands to protect themselves, rather than relying on immortals and gods forever.In her opinion, only in this way can Liyue have a future.In fact, when has Ningguang never thought about this?"I understand what you said..."Ningguang looked at Keqing and sighed: "But if we want to protect Liyue with our own hands, we still need strength. You also know that there are not many people who have the Eye of God..."The voice fell.Keqing was silent at this time.Yes.The gods of Liyue all possess very powerful powers, not to mention that the most respected master of Liyue, the Rock King, is also the oldest god.This is incomparable to humans, at least for now, this is the contest condition.It would be fine if nothing happened, but once something beyond human control happened, without the protection of gods and immortals... the consequences would be disastrous.Keqing's silence meant that she understood what Ningguang said was right, and she knew that she did not dare to gamble on the future easily.After all, if humans want to be independent, they must have a protective power.In the world of Teyvat, the reason why humans have the ability to compete with monsters is that they are given elemental power by something called the "Eye of God".Unfortunately, the number of Eyes of God is extremely rare, and they will select their holders.It is not easy for humans to rely on their own hands to protect Liyue?But...Keqing suddenly looked up at Ningguang."Ningguang, I'll introduce you to a partner.""Hmm?"Ningguang looked at Keqing with doubtful eyes, and she had taken out a red and white sphere from her waist.The ball was about the size of Keqing's palm, something Ningguang had never seen before."What is this?""This should be a kind of container, something called a 'Poké Ball'."Yes, this was the Poké Ball that Su Yan gave to Keqing after she bought Tan Xiaoshi.As soon as she threw the Poké Ball lightly.Suddenly!The Poké Ball, originally the size of a palm, instantly expanded by more than double.When the ball opened, it even emitted a dazzling red light.This caused Ningguang and Keqing to raise their hands to block it.However, the next second...Ningguang was completely stunned.Because a strange creature ran out of the red light released from the Poké Ball.Tan Xiaoshi!Yesterday, Su Yan taught Keqing how to use the Poké Ball, so before she climbed up the Jade Pavilion, she had already put Tan Xiaoshi into it.In fact, when Su Yan demonstrated yesterday, Keqing and Ningguang had the same expression, both were confused and horrified.After all, a small palm-sized ball could actually fit a 60-centimeter-long Tan Xiaoshi. Keqing racked her brains but couldn't figure out the principle of this thing.At this time, in addition to being horrified by the Poké Ball, Ningguang's eyes were attracted by Tan Xiaoshi."This, is this a monster?!"Keqing looked at Tan Xiaoshi with a soft look in her eyes."It's called Tan Xiaoshi, not a monster. It's a Pokémon I bought from the [Pokémon House] on Liyue Street yesterday.""Pokémon? Pokémon House?"Ningguang raised her eyebrows, as if she was thinking, as if she was recalling.But she had never heard of these two words.Keqing naturally took in Ningguang's expression."It seems that you don't know about this store either."Sure enough...When Ningguang saw the Poké Ball, she guessed that the other party didn't know about the existence of the Pokémon House.Otherwise, with her personality, she would definitely buy Pokémon...And the Pokémon House that even Ningguang didn't know about could do business in Liyue?Keqing is very smart. At this time, she has guessed that Su Yan must have used some means to open a store on Liyue Street.The most clever thing is this method, which even Ningguang can hide from it.Amazing..."Here's what happened."At this moment, Keqing told Ningguang that she had seen two Pokémon by chance on the street, and then found Su Yan's store, and everything that happened afterwards.At first, it was nothing...But when Ningguang heard that Su Yan and the so-called Pokémon were from outside the world, her expression began to fluctuate.Even later, she was more and more surprised."If Pokémon is cultivated to the strongest form, can its power be comparable to that of immortals and gods?!""Impossible!!"In Liyue, immortals and gods all have great divine power, and immortal magic is endless.But now Keqing told herself that humans can become partners with these [Pokémon], and they also have the potential to be comparable to immortals and gods?Is this possible?Let alone Ningguang, Keqing didn't take Su Yan's words to heart before."Pokémon does have all kinds of strange moves, I have confirmed this, as for whether it really has the potential of immortals... I am not sure whether what that person said is true or not, otherwise... you can judge it yourself?""Yeah."Ningguang put her hand on her chin, but her eyes fell on Tan Xiaoshi.Ever since it came out of the Poké Ball, it has been curiously looking around.Sometimes it looks around curiously on the table, and sometimes it is curious about the Decorate in the room.No matter how you look at it, it looks harmless.Not to mention, in Ningguang's eyes, Tan Xiaoshi is like a child who is curious about everything."Hehe."Ningguang loves children very much. After observing Tan Xiaoshi's behavior, she unconsciously showed a gentle smile."Pokémon... very cute little guy.""But that person named Su Yan said that its power will be comparable to immortals after it grows up... I find it hard to imagine, because in my opinion, this is absolutely impossible!"
