Genshin Impact: My Villain System Isn't Working Properly

When Eula and Amber returned to the Knights of Favonius headquarters, they found a grave-faced Kaeya, an exhausted Lisa, and...

Jean, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"W-what happened here?"

Eula was startled.

"It's all because of that Miss Ganyu, she was absolutely terrifying..."

Kaeya massaged his temples with a headache.

"Miss Ganyu... she seemed fine though?"

Amber found it strange. Although she'd only briefly met Ganyu when leaving, that peaceful aura around her hadn't seemed fake.

"You don't understand... during negotiations, she became like a completely different person."

"Saying she was aggressive would be putting it mildly..."

Originally, Ganyu wasn't particularly aggressive by nature, especially when dealing with allies - it should have been harmonious.

That's how it should have been.

However, Jiang Ning's injury had caused Ganyu to put intense pressure on the Knights of Favonius.

Compared to the Fatui's direct threats and unreasonable attitude, what made Ganyu frightening was...

She backed everything up with citations and evidence.

The end result was that Liyue made a fortune, and Jiang Ning's wallet grew considerably fatter.

As for Mondstadt... let's just say they earned enough to cover the damages from the dragon crisis.

They profited, but didn't really profit.

Lisa struggled to stand up from the sofa:

"Jean, I need to go rest... I can't take any more of this..."

"Yes, go rest... I still need to process these documents."

Jean nodded and said.

"By the way, I've been having the junior knights handle these documents lately, and there haven't been any problems."

Lisa said meaningfully.

Jean pressed her cherry lips together, then nodded: "Mm, I understand."

Lisa smiled slightly and turned to leave.

"Then I'll also..." Kaeya tried to slip away.

"Kaeya, don't leave. Help me distribute these things."

Jean said.

Kaeya's expression froze, his face immediately turning bitter.

He had been hoping to enjoy a drink at Angel's Share.

...

"Now that everything's settled, you'll be leaving soon, right?"

Eula asked while walking with Jiang Ning through the streets.

"Yes, probably in the next couple of days."

Jiang Ning nodded.

"As for you, has life in Mondstadt gotten any better lately?"

Eula snorted: "It's still the same, still can't buy things."

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said: "If it's really difficult, you can buy from Liyue shops. I've already arranged it - as my friend, you'll get a 20% discount on everything."

"Eh? But wouldn't that affect your Liyue shops?"

Eula hesitated. Though tempted, the kind-hearted Eula, who didn't understand business matters, worried about others.

She feared the Liyue merchants might face ostracism from other Mondstadt businesses after serving her.

A slight smirk appeared on Jiang Ning's lips:

"Don't worry, it won't have any effect."

Don't you understand the value of irreplaceability?

First off, whether it's Liyue porcelain, tea, or other daily necessities, compared to local Mondstadt goods, they're all high quality and reasonably priced.

Mondstadt's local business focuses on wine and fresh ingredients.

And most of the grain that Mondstadt depends on is imported from Liyue.

You can try to boycott, but how would you boycott the grain? If Mondstadt dared to unite against Liyue merchants, those merchants would band together and show them what it means to be a nation of commerce.

So Eula's concerns were completely unnecessary.

"I see... then I can relax."

Eula sighed in relief, her tone becoming more cheerful:

"Haha, this will make my life in Mondstadt much less troublesome."

Jiang Ning teased: "Oh? Is the Spindrift Knight not holding grudges anymore?"

"What grudge-holding knight? I'm the Spindrift Knight! You're really making me angry now!"

Eula complained, though her voice sounded more like playful reproach.

Eula raised her hand to lightly hit Jiang Ning, but he laughed and dodged, making a face at her in the process.

"Hey! Don't run!"

Eula chased after him, laughing.

Meanwhile, not far away, Amber watched with a maternal smile as Eula and Jiang Ning played.

Indeed, it had been so long since Eula had laughed this happily.

It had to be Jiang Ning.

But for some reason...

Amber glanced behind at Shenhe and Ganyu.

Weren't they going to object? She had prepared to distract these two when she went out.

Ganyu's thinking was simple - she had already decided to commit the crime, so she might as well not interfere. She even convinced herself that the more people involved, the better. After all, what if there's safety in numbers?

Shenhe's thinking was even simpler - she was little martial brother's main wife, she should be magnanimous... that's what Ying'er had said. Besides, she had her own irreplaceable identity.

Little martial brother's lifesaver.

Just this point alone meant he would never abandon her.

While observing these three people, Amber suddenly realized something.

"Wait, it seems like all the people closest to Jiang Ning are Cryo Vision holders?"

Ganyu and Shenhe, and now her good friend Eula.

Though there wasn't substantial progress yet, in Amber's view.

Her friend had her charm points, and both her looks and figure were first-rate.

It would be best if she married far away to Liyue. Though Amber would miss her, it would be better than Eula facing hostility in Mondstadt.

After Amber's observation, Ganyu and Shenhe looked at each other.

It seemed true - not counting those still in the running, they were all Cryo users...

Moreover, little martial brother himself had started with Cryo, though he later gained Geo and Anemo elements.

Ganyu felt somewhat strange.

Her master, an Anemo adept, had trained a disciple who specialized in Cryo?

"Are you really not going to do anything about Eula and Jiang Ning being together?"

Amber couldn't help but ask.

"No," Shenhe replied concisely.

Ganyu's pretty face reddened, she stammered, but apparently wasn't going to interfere either.

"Then I can relax."

Amber sighed in relief, then looked determinedly at Eula.

Fly freely, Eula, Amber will support you from behind.

Then she saw Barbara quickly walking towards Eula and Jiang Ning.

Amber's expression changed. Oh no, Cryo and Hydro elements coming together - wouldn't that cause Frozen reactions?

But there was nothing she could do, because they had already started talking.

...

"Jiang Ning, and... Eula, good morning."

Barbara still wore that encouraging smile as she spoke.

"Morning."

Eula lowered her hand that was about to hit Jiang Ning, saying flatly.

Jiang Ning also said: "Morning, Barbara. Just finished morning prayers?"

Barbara nodded: "Yes, though another nun didn't show up again."

Jiang Ning nodded, he probably knew which nun it was - the un-nun-like nun, Rosaria.

"It's alright, you have the Grand Master to worry about these things, right?"

"But..." Barbara was still a very devout and responsible nun.

"Let's not talk about that. Want to go to Angel's Share? To celebrate the end of the dragon crisis, Diluc is planning to host quite a few of his acquaintances!"

Jiang Ning said.

Barbara's heart stirred - if it's acquaintances, perhaps her sister would go?

So Barbara nodded and said:

"Sure, if there's anything you need help with, Barbara will help too."

"Then let's not delay... shall we go? Also, Senior Sister, Amber, are you coming?"

Jiang Ning turned to look at a bush, asking loudly.

After a moment of silence, three people emerged from the bush.

Shenhe expressionless, Ganyu and Amber somewhat embarrassed.

"A-Amber? Why are you here?"

Eula's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief: "Were you following me?"

That would mean Amber had seen all her undignified behavior earlier! How mortifying.

Amber looked awkward: "Ah haha, I-I didn't mean to, Eula."

"You... never mind..." Eula sighed, holding her forehead.

Jiang Ning secretly laughed - did they really think they could escape his perception?

With Shenhe and Ganyu's Cryo elements flowing within him, they were like two bright lamps in the darkness.

And Amber, standing next to those lamps, was easily spotted too.

So, the six of them headed grandly towards Angel's Share.

...

"Diluc, we're here."

As soon as they opened the door, they saw Diluc in his leather outfit directing his staff, arranging the venue, preparing drinks and materials.

"Oh, it's you all. Why are you here so early? The venue isn't ready yet."

Diluc said.

"We came to see if there's anything we can help with."

Jiang Ning said.

Diluc said: "Not really. Before you arrived, the Traveler came by - I sent her to collect some materials."

"Where is she? We could go help too, since we have nothing else to do."

Diluc hesitated before saying: "Springvale."

"Oh, then I won't go."

Jiang Ning answered almost instantly.

He had no fondness for Springvale.

Eula also looked somewhat uncomfortable.

Ganyu stepped forward and began discussing with Diluc.

Though she had only been in Mondstadt for a short time, Jiang Ning and the others had been here for nearly a month.

The wine had already been delivered to Liyue and started selling, with the response being as good as ever.

Therefore, the Tianquan had decided to increase the purchase quantity.

Originally, they had planned to discuss this during their next visit to Mondstadt.

But since she was here now, might as well resolve it.

"Mr. Diluc, regarding your winery's wine orders, the Tianquan has some additional thoughts. May we speak privately?"

Ganyu said.

"Of course, please."

The two moved aside to continue their negotiations.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning and the others continued helping out around the venue.
