"In short, Alice has now joined our big family. Everyone, welcome her."
Clap clap clap!!
Around the round table, a group of people applauded.
One little cutie clapped the most enthusiastically, accompanied by the sound of her silver-bell-like laughter.
Jack sat to her left, and Alice sat to her right.
With both her dad and mom there, she was the happiest person in the world at that moment!
However, Keqing looked at the three with complex emotions, feeling a faint ache in her chest.
With a new sister joining, and her adopted daughter meeting her real mother, two equally happy events combined, it should have been a dreamlike time.
But why did it turn out like this?
Ningguang patted her shoulder, comforting her.
"If you want a child, why not just work for it? The Keqing I know isn't someone who wallows in self-pity and gives up."
"Sister Ningguang~"
"Ew! Don't call me sister; it sounds really uncomfortable!"
"Thank you for your suggestion. I will work hard!"
Seeing Keqing's expression, like she had been NTR'd, Ganyu quickly hugged her Qiqi in fright.
Luckily, this child's parents were just ordinary people who had already passed on in the cycle of reincarnation, so no one would come to snatch her away.
Little did she know, Qiqi didn't want parents; she wanted to sit in that same position.
Amidst all these different expressions, the large family appeared extraordinarily lively.
"Does anyone else have anything to say? If not, then the Nth meeting of the Qu Family is hereby adjourned!"
As soon as the words fell.
Lumine immediately pulled Fischl towards the chess and card room, muttering as she went.
"It's finally over. Fischl, let's go, one more round of King of Fighters. This time, I definitely won't let you sweep me with a three-in-a-row!"
"Hmph! Presumptuous otherworldly Traveler, attempting to challenge the majesty of the Prinzessin der Verurteilung!! Truly overestimating yourself!"
This was the arcade game machine Lumine and the others bought in bulk from the general store, and currently, Lumine and Fischl were obsessed with it.
As for why a general store, which originally only had basic materials, would sell game machines.
It was actually due to a supply mechanism built into the item that Jack hadn't discovered before.
That is, when the world coin spent on a certain type of product reaches a certain level, the goods it can provide become increasingly abundant.
Because entertainment products like comic books and novels had such high sales, this industry developed the most rapidly among all types of goods.
"Husband, I recently learned a new dish. Would you like to try it?"
At this moment, Shen He walked over and stood gracefully in front of Jack, asking.
"Cooking? I was wondering why you hadn't been back lately. So you were learning to cook in Liyue?"
Jack stroked Shen He's scorpion braid; it felt as good as ever.
"Yes, everyone has their own specialties, but I couldn't do anything, so I went to Xiangling to study for a while."
"Xiangling, huh? Speaking of which, I haven't met that girl yet. It seems our paths haven't crossed. But since her apprentice is here, let me taste her apprentice's cooking first!"
As soon as food was mentioned.
Paimon abandoned Lumine and trotted after Jack and Shen He.
Of course, Klee and Qiqi, those two little tag-alongs, were also there.
Alice patted Klee's head, telling her to go to the kitchen herself, while she went to Keqing's side and extended her hand in a friendly gesture.
"Oh my, it's been a long time, Miss Yuheng Star of Liyue."
"Uh… Hello, Lady Alice!"
"Heh heh, why be so formal with me? According to the order of our relationship with that person, you should call me younger sister."
"Ah? This… This won't do! Lady Alice is a highly respected senior; that would be too rude!"
"It's fine! Perfectly fine. I haven't even thanked Sister Keqing for taking care of little Klee for me earlier."
As a character with high intelligence and emotional intelligence, Alice saw that Keqing had special feelings for Klee.
So, using the reason that they both served the same husband, she made Keqing Klee's Keqing-mama.
Regarding this, although Keqing maintained her composure on the surface, she was already thinking about what clothes to make for her precious Klee to dress her up in.
Before, her status wasn't officially recognized, but now, she wanted to exercise her mother's authority to adorn her adorable daughter.
Ningguang: Is this your effort? Didn't you just get tricked by the witch senior in a few moves!
...
Afternoon, Entara Territory streets.
Jack and Alice walked together.
"Is this the territory you built? Hmm, it feels like the social structure still retains the appearance of ancient times."
Along the way.
Alice noticed this characteristic.
The Villagers worked from sunrise to sunset, with almost no entertainment activities.
Due to the MC characteristic, the village's productivity was clearly in surplus.
During their free time, everyone practiced martial arts or magic.
The combat power of some individuals was even praised by her, a destructive maniac.
If this group of people were released into Teyvat, perhaps every nation would become nervous.
"Yes, my subjects belong to a very special ethnic group. Their reproduction doesn't even require conventional male-female union and ten months of pregnancy; new subjects can be born simply by meeting certain rules."
"For this, I call them the Entara Golden Age Subjects."
"Golden Age? Will there be a Silver Age after that?"
"Soon. When the population of Entara increases a bit more, 'fleets' from the sea will discover this continent. After the blood of the foreign fleet mixes in, the new subjects born will be the Silver Age Subjects."
Evidently, the Silver Age Subjects Jack referred to were the mixed-bloods born from the local MC Villagers and the first group of members from Beidou's fleet settling down, as planned.
Newborns with both bloodlines will possess potential not inferior to special NPCs like the Gatekeeper.
The future Dragon Knight Legion will be born from among them.
Since Dragon Knights were mentioned, after touring the territory, Alice proposed visiting Jack's giant dragon breeding base.
So the two set off together again for the Dragonspine Mountains.
The Ice Dragon Savia, who had grown to Stage 4, subtly became the princess at the center of the dragon group, leading the other seven giant dragons, awaiting their benefactor's visit.
Among them, besides the initial Ruby and Safi, the remaining 4 were two Electric Dragons, two Fire Dragons, and one Ice Dragon, all of which were Stage 4 giant dragons that had developed sentience.
"They all look full of vitality, and I feel their magical power is much stronger than the heart you gave me. Is this the difference between Stage 3 and Stage 4?"
"Yes, going from Stage 3 to Stage 4 is almost a qualitative leap. If they are not contracted by someone, giant dragons below Stage 3 are more like fierce beasts than legendary creatures."
Regarding such a comment.
The few giant dragons bowed their heads, not daring to express an opinion.
After all, they had more or less experienced Jack's beatings, and after submitting, they gradually came to accept this deity who embodied both majesty and benevolence.
"I see. So your plan is to only hunt Stage 3 giant dragons, and raise those at Stage 4 and above?"
Alice took out the Electric Dragon heart Jack had given her.
After witnessing the "beauty" of Stage 4 giant dragons, a mere Stage 3 heart no longer quite satisfied her.
The few giant dragons huddled together, human-like fear appearing in their dragon eyes.
This woman holds great terror!!
