Chapter 32

Having received no response, Keqing's anger had accumulated to its peak.

"Ningguang, if you don't open the door, don't blame me for wrecking your Jade Chamber!"

This seemed like a final warning, yet still met with silence.

"Fine... you forced me to this!"

Seeing this, Keqing laughed in anger and drew her sword.

"Bzz... bzz!"

Thunder arose from level ground, purple sword light striking straight at the door.

"BOOM!!!"

A huge sound rang out, the door directly split open with a large hole by Keqing.

"Ningguang... quickly... give Nathan... back to me!"

Keqing's figure rushed through the hole, speaking with absolute firmness.

The sword in her hand still wreathed in purple lightning.

But when she clearly saw the scene in the room, she was completely stunned.

"Eh..."

Ningguang's tall figure intimately wrapped around Nathan.

Most crucially, both were in a state of dishevelment.

A violent emotion instantly surged in Keqing's heart.

Seeing this scene, she felt like the white cabbage she had carefully raised was being rooted up by Ningguang, this descending pig.

This emotion was even more exaggerated than anger!

Damn it! Why?! She was clearly here first!

In such an extremely angry state, Keqing's face turned completely red.

Red temperature rose, rationality evaporated!

Raising the lightning-wrapped sword in her hand, wanting to immediately cut down this thieving Ningguang.

"Keqing... don't... calm down!!!"

Seeing the blade coming this way, Nathan instinctively tried to persuade.

Not long ago, he was thinking about how becoming a time management master might get him cleaved by girls.

But now clearly before even implementing this idea, the sharp sword was already within inches!

Compared to Nathan, Ningguang faced the incoming sword with complete calm.

Even though she was the attack's target, her lips maintained a faint smile.

"Keqing... as one of the Qixing, losing control of emotions and shouting like this... what manner is this!"

Before the words fell, her Geo Vision activated.

Geo elements gathered around them, forming an orange barrier.

Keqing's lightning-infused slash hit this protective screen, finally ending in neutralization between Electro and Geo elements.

"Hehe, you thieving cat, now you're trying to shift blame!"

After this strike, Keqing gradually controlled her emotions.

Sheathing her sword, facing Ningguang's accusatory question, her lips revealed a cold smile.

"Heh... what use are all your words, Keqing! In this struggle... there are only victors and losers!"

Eyes met, their gazes had already crossed swords three hundred times.

Inseparable, both clearly understood the other's intentions.

Love is like a battlefield, in this war over Nathan, only the victor would laugh last.

"You thieving cat talking nonsense... I am Nathan's child..."

Keqing spoke excitedly again, originally wanting to say childhood friend.

But thinking of some recent popular novels in Liyue, she suddenly took back this title.

Because in those novel stories, the protagonist usually has a childhood friend who grew up together.

But as the story develops, often a descended one appears to snatch away the protagonist.

So among Liyue's readers, there circulated a saying that childhood friends are bound to lose.

Keqing bit her lip, she was clearly here first, absolutely wouldn't become some loser.

"The victor in this struggle... must be me!"

"Hehe, you can't beat me!"

Keqing clenched her pink fist, making a show of force at the other.

To this, Ningguang was equally unwilling to back down.

Although not knowing what had happened between Keqing and Nathan before, Ningguang believed her promise with Nathan was the most genuine.

However, while the two women were in confrontation, Nathan had already quietly escaped Ningguang's restraint.

Unable to understand why the two girls would have such great anger, their dialogue also seemed like riddles.

But this didn't prevent Nathan from properly dressing again, not letting the awkward atmosphere continue.

However, just as he fastened the last button, Keqing had already stepped to his side.

"Nathan, let's leave this place..."

Her delicate hand gripped his left wrist, a pulling force came from his arm.

"Not allowed to leave!!!"

Before being moved half a step, Ningguang had similarly caught Nathan's right arm.

Pulling, just like this in the middle, being fiercely pulled!

"Ningguang... what exactly do you mean?"

Regarding Ningguang's obstruction, Keqing directly looked past Nathan, staring hard at the other.

"I want to ask what you mean, Keqing, weren't you the one who agreed to let Nathan come to the Jade Chamber?"

"You said you wanted to discuss business with Nathan, but this is what you meant!"

Regarding Ningguang who had removed her outer clothes, Keqing expressed disdain.

After the other took Nathan away, she felt deeply uneasy.

Keqing chose to trust her intuition, immediately pursuing them.

Facts proved her right – after forcibly entering the Jade Chamber, she discovered such an infuriating scene.

If she had come any later, afraid Ningguang would have been the first to reach home base.

This was absolutely unacceptable to Keqing – her childhood friend must be possessed by her.

"Even if I agreed, so what, I take it back!"

"Taking it back is useless, you can't control Nathan's thoughts!"

Even though Keqing had spoken so plainly, Ningguang still wouldn't budge.

"Heh, what are you Ningguang, Nathan was discovered by me, he's going to work at the Keqing household!"

"Wrong, Nathan is now a member of my Jade Chamber!"

Nathan listened to the two women's conversation, feeling increasingly confused.

From ownership, even extending to his work.

When was he discovered by Keqing? When did he become a member of the Jade Chamber?

Why did he, the person himself, know nothing about these relationships?

"Ningguang, you just have to oppose me, right?"

"Sorry Keqing, I can return those words to you exactly!"

"Fine... then let's just ask Nathan, which side do you choose?"

Finally, the initiative was handed to him.

Feeling the two women's expectant gazes, Nathan wished they hadn't noticed him.

Anyone could see that choosing either side would necessarily offend the other side.

If that's the case, only children would make choices – as an adult, Nathan naturally chooses to have them all.
