Thus, Qin Yu and the Empress set out.
While it was said so, in reality, only Qin Yu was moving.
The remaining two gods...
One was snuggled in his embrace, playing games.
The other was asleep on his shoulder, temporarily offline and idling.
So this was the daily life of the Seven Archons of the mortal realm, the Cryo and Hydro Archons?
Qin Yu felt slightly exhausted.
The atmosphere was completely wrong!
"..."
In the sunlight, the Empress's swaying, long, black-stockinged legs moved with leisurely grace.
Even a workaholic CEO needed to take a break now and then.
Especially since she had found Qin Yu.
Having proven her strength to her, he now had to take responsibility.
As for future plans...
She still had to have a good talk with her colleagues, the other Seven Archons.
"..."
Qin Yu was helpless. It seemed Her Majesty the Empress truly regarded him as her exclusive knight.
However, being able to carry her in a princess carry and see her in an OL outfit...
Seemed like a pretty good deal.
What about the other Hydro Archon?
"..."
Fufu the cat yawned lazily, waking up just then.
She opened her eyes and blinked in surprise.
She looked at the Empress, then at Qin Yu, who wore a face of utmost gentlemanliness.
"Did this lady miss some spectacular performance?"
Miss Fufu realized, drawing out her words, her gaze becoming more playful.
"Uh... well..."
Qin Yu's face stiffened.
This was difficult to explain to you.
"Don't be nervous, I understand."
Miss Fufu smiled elegantly and generously patted Qin Yu's shoulder with her cat paw.
Having participated in so many trials, what kind of practical gameplay hadn't she seen?
Ladies were always understanding.
Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It had to be the Hydro Archon...
"See you in court, death penalty."
The righteous Miss Fufu revealed a devilish smile.
Having borne so much sin, she might as well just "cut" little Qin Yu too.
"Hey, that's not right!"
Qin Yu protested immediately.
Please don't say something so terrifying with a smile!
"?"
The Empress heard the commotion and raised her head, displeased.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she met Fufu's gaze.
"First meeting, the noble Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya."
"This attire... *pfft*, it's quite unique."
Miss Fufu covered her mouth and chuckled, completely adopting the persona of a laughing spectator.
The Cryo Archon, you have your moments too?
In front of Qin Yu, she was an elegant and cute noble lady, occasionally sharp-tongued and a little narcissistic.
But to others, she wouldn't be so accommodating.
Focalors, who upheld justice, was always a powerful deity with a capricious, lively, and somewhat stubborn nature.
"The Hydroform of the Hydro Archon of Fontaine... Hmph."
The Empress's gaze turned cold, showing little affection for the Hydro Archon.
Pure water spirits, scattered across every river on the continent of Teyvat.
On the surface, it was said to be for communication with the Seven Archons.
But under normal circumstances, who would place their eyes and ears within someone else's domain?
Acting as the Heavenly Principles' overseer.
The Hydro Archon's actions were essentially standing in opposition to the other gods.
"Heh... it seems the Cryo Archon has quite an opinion of this lady's visit."
Fufu's eyes flickered, and her tone gradually cooled.
Pure water spirits all over the continent?
What did the previous Hydro Archon's schemes have to do with her?
She hadn't even settled the score for the actions of your Fatui, who had dealings with the court of Fontaine.
And now she had the nerve to question her?
The two gods glared at each other, the air thick with hostility.
"You two..."
Qin Yu, caught in the middle, looked helpless.
Here they go again.
"My esteemed Interrogator, I now grant you the authority to judge the Cryo Archon. Proceed."
Fufu snorted and flicked her tail.
Let's spank her butt first for her appreciation.
Punishment must be severe.
"My knight, throw this noisy cat out."
The Empress tilted her chin, her gaze equally unfriendly.
How dare she try to steal her man in front of her?
"If you want to fight, fight amongst yourselves. I'm not getting involved."
Qin Yu sighed and continued to walk, his mind elsewhere.
Clearly, the Empress was unaware that Focalors was a staunch opponent of the Heavenly Principles.
Some misunderstandings needed to be resolved through a sit-down conversation.
And because of Qin Yu's existence, the gods finally had an opportunity to reunite.
Termed "Op--"
Don't get the wrong idea, it's a meeting.
"Alright, for Qin Yu's sake."
Fufu snorted and gracefully lay back down.
She tucked away her adorable cat paws and hugged her knees.
She then proceeded to meticulously examine the Empress's OL attire.
"First time wearing this outfit? It fits surprisingly well."
Setting aside their allegiances, Focalors was still an elegant deity with an artistic flair.
Skilled in painting, sculpture, musical instruments, and opera, she was proficient in everything.
Naturally, she also dabbled in fashion design.
She nodded occasionally, expressing her satisfaction with the OL outfit.
Qin Yu, you have so many tricks up your sleeve.
"?"
The Empress stared at her, her eyes icy.
But Fufu's casual remark stirred something within her.
A hint of doubt quietly surfaced in her heart.
When she first put on the white shirt, she felt no restraint at all.
Especially around the chest, it naturally conformed to her body's curves.
The Cryo Archon's beautiful eyes narrowed.
Something felt off.
Had this outfit been worn before, taking on the shape of another woman?
Who was it?
She took a deep breath, her attention no longer on the game console.
Her proud bosom rose and fell, tracing a captivating curve.
Could it be... !
Just as the Empress's gaze grew more dangerous, the path ahead suddenly opened up.
"Finally out of the forest. The meeting point is ahead."
Qin Yu smiled, relieved, and instinctively looked at the Empress.
(ᴖ◡ᴖ)
She was tightly gripping the creaking game console, seemingly ready to smash it on someone's face at any moment.
Qin Yu blinked, what was going on?
"Ahem... In any case, get down and walk yourself, we're far from the jungle now..."
From here on, it was all flat, soft grassland, so no need to worry about her black stockings getting snagged.
Qin Yu crouched down, about to put the Empress down.
But he quickly failed.
"?"
Qin Yu felt the pressure and astonishing elasticity on his arm and paused.
Why are you squeezing me so hard?
"Continue carrying me until we reach the Raiden Shogun."
The Empress looked at Qin Yu, her tone leaving no room for negotiation.
Her sexy legs, clad in black stockings, tightened and exerted force, preventing Qin Yu from withdrawing his arm.
The dominant CEO persona, successfully activated.
"Ahem... this isn't good."
Qin Yu felt the ominous signs of trouble and a chill ran down his spine.
If Raiden Ei saw him carrying the Empress like this...
That scene would be too violent.
But sometimes, what you fear most comes to pass.
【Yu.】
A familiar voice made Qin Yu, who was carrying the Empress, tremble.
Why is the big boss checking in at this moment!
"Ei, wait a little longer, I'll be there immediately..."
【I'm coming, I saw you.】
Ei said calmly and hung up the call.
"I...!"
Qin Yu, once again, was caught in a difficult situation.
He subconsciously raised his head and looked into the distance.
A purple silhouette stood there, watching them.
Raiden Ei, and also Guuji Yae and the Dendro Archon.
"..."
The Empress's lips curved into a slight smile. She tilted her long, fair neck and leaned close to Qin Yu's ear.
"I want Ei's clothes."
"And Qin Yu, you will also be mine sooner or later."
"So... continue carrying me and walk towards Ei."
She whispered, her posture proud.
Her Majesty the Empress was preparing to steal her man.
