Genshin Impact: My villain system is a little different.

Early the next morning, Jiang Ning looked puzzledly at the sighing Havria and the silent Eula who was focused on her meal.

"What's wrong with you two?"

Unable to bear the strange atmosphere, Jiang Ning asked.

Eula remained silent, while Havria said: "Adult matters aren't for children to worry about..."

Last night, the mood had been set, everything had been prepared.

But in the end, Eula had lost her nerve. It could have been a perfect night, but she chickened out!

When would there be another chance for them to be alone together like this?

"Oh right, Sister Havria, the Adventure Guild has gathered everything we requested. I'm planning to go check the inventory today," Jiang Ning said.

Havria decided she needed to work more on Eula's mindset. Otherwise, once this matter was finished and they returned, there would be even fewer opportunities.

"Hmm, so shall we leave in a few days?" Havria asked.

"Do you have something planned, Sister Havria?" Jiang Ning was surprised.

Havria replied: "No, not really."

Jiang Ning smiled: "Then we can check the inventory this morning, say goodbye to Acting Grand Master Jean and others in the afternoon, and reach Liyue Harbor by evening."

Eula was startled: "Really? Is that possible?"

Jiang Ning explained: "Yes, this travel permit already works as a small anchor point. How else do you think Senior Sister Ganyu managed to come directly to Mondstadt back then?"

Eula remembered, and Havria internally grew concerned.

"Um, let's stay one more night... I still have some things I want to say to Amber and the others..." Eula said.

"That's fine, we're not in a rush," Jiang Ning agreed.

Havria mentally gave a thumbs up - Eula could still buy time when it mattered.

"Oh right, Lisa asked me to tell you that you can't escape her afternoon tea invitation this time," Eula said.

Jiang Ning sighed: "Alright..."

It seemed there was no avoiding it this time. But he wasn't good at dealing with those onee-san types. In Liyue, he might get teased by Ying'er when shopping with his senior sisters, and here he had to face Lisa's playful remarks?

How frustrating - when would a silver-haired, red-eyed young man be able to stand his ground against onee-sans?

Eula said: "Then it's settled. I'll go buy some ingredients, and I'll cook dinner tonight. We'll invite Jean, Lisa, Barbara, and Amber... It's a shame Noelle and Fischl aren't in Mondstadt, or we could have invited them too."

Jiang Ning thought to himself, 'How come you forgot about that exhausted-looking nun in fishnet stockings... well, never mind.'

Havria smiled sweetly: "Mm-hmm, go ahead. I'll just rest at home."

Rest was impossible, of course. She still needed to coordinate with Amber and the others beforehand. Otherwise, if they got emotional and decided to have a girls' sleepover to share their feelings, she wouldn't be able to help advance things between Eula and Jiang Ning.

...

Jiang Ning arrived at the Knights of Favonius Library, unconsciously glancing at Acting Grand Master Jean's office. He could hear her assigning tasks inside.

Seems like Jean had started working again, even though she'd barely recovered.

Shaking his head but saying nothing, he pushed open the library door. Inside was quiet, with only the scent of books and no sign of people.

Hm? Was no one in the library today?

Confused, Jiang Ning walked around and found all the reading areas empty.

"My little cutie, big sister has been waiting for quite a while."

A seductive voice rang out. Jiang Ning looked over and found someone at the librarian's desk.

She hadn't been there when he entered...

"Lisa, when did you get here?"

Lisa said: "Is that the first thing you say when seeing your big sister? I've been here all along, just finished organizing the books and taking a break."

"Is that so... ahem Eula said you were looking for me?"

Lisa gave Jiang Ning a slightly reproachful look:

"Yes, you keep standing up big sister, so I had no choice but to have Eula invite you. If you still didn't come, I would have had to visit you myself."

Her voice was soft and full of feigned grievance. If this was the Jiang Ning who had just arrived in Teyvat, he might have fallen for it.

But hah, don't underestimate me! I've been trained by Senior Sister Ganyu and Senior Sister Shenhe, and I regularly get teased by Ying'er!

My magic resistance is quite high...

Lisa gracefully walked to Jiang Ning's side, bringing with her the fragrance of roses that was almost intoxicating.

Her perfect face grew larger in Jiang Ning's vision, but it didn't blind him.

Because when Lisa leaned forward, her neckline drooped slightly, revealing expanses of snow-white skin and deep valleys.

Whether it was Jiang Ning's imagination or not, he felt Lisa's outfit today was much bolder than usual, shorter, and showing more skin.

Black stockings with garters and black lace gloves further emphasized the mature onee-san's fatal attraction.

She leaned in to whisper in Jiang Ning's ear: "So, little cutie, what would you like to drink? Big sister has everything you could want~"

And then... Jiang Ning became a bit dazed... who wouldn't be in this situation?

Curse it, Jiang Ning had failed once again against his weakness.

Seeing Jiang Ning's eyes starting to spin and his face turning red, Lisa's eyes held a trace of amusement.

Though she didn't know why, she felt particularly fond and close to this little cutie, and being with him made her feel especially relaxed.

Although Lisa appeared alluring, she wasn't a frivolous woman. On the contrary, those who mistook her flirtatiousness for actual availability received their due punishment...

Electro-therapy, if you will.

Like a satisfying toy for Lisa to play with, Jiang Ning allowed her to lead him to the sofa.

It wasn't until Lisa went to brew tea while humming happily that Jiang Ning came back to his senses.

[System: Host, you're really embarrassing, getting handled so easily.]

The System mocked.

"How is this my fault? This woman's level is too high."

[What if an enemy approached you like this? Wouldn't you just collapse immediately?]

"It's different, enemies are enemies, friends are friends..."

The beautiful ones who died by Jiang Ning's hands, whether from the Treasure Hoarders or Fatui, numbered in the hundreds if not thousands.

[System: Well, I still think you're embarrassing. What are you, some kind of submissive? But wait, that's not right - though I can't see it, I'm pretty sure you and your wife play quite intensely at night.]

Jiang Ning was speechless. You might not believe it, but Shenhe would casually dominate him in their room, leading everything until she lost herself in pleasure - only then could Jiang Ning take back control.

But with Ganyu, well, the soft cocogoat senior sister was completely under his control.

So Jiang Ning couldn't quite figure out if he was submissive or a young wolf - he didn't understand.

"I only have black tea, is that okay, little cutie?"

Lisa returned carrying a tray with a tea set and some snacks.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Mm, that's fine..."

Lisa sat down gracefully, crossing her stockinged legs. With her short skirt, this made Jiang Ning, who had just managed to relax, become nervous again.

Did this woman really have no self-awareness?

"Shy? Even though you're almost an Archon now?"

Lisa was quite satisfied with Jiang Ning's reaction.

Jiang Ning felt he couldn't let her lead him around anymore, so he tried to act tough:

"Keep this up and I might just take advantage of you."

Though he'd never said such things before, in novels whenever the male protagonist said this, the women teasing them would usually back off.

However, the person before him wasn't ordinary. Lisa cupped her face in her hands and said:

"Oh my, that would be wonderful. Big sister is at the age for marriage, and having such a handsome young man with potential wouldn't be a loss at all."

Jiang Ning fell silent. This wasn't how it was supposed to go - she wasn't following the usual script at all.

He sighed and gave up: "Lisa, what do you really want? Just tell me..."

Lisa smiled sweetly and said: "Call me big sister."

"Lisa, I'm serious, if you have something to say directly..."

"Call. Me. Big. Sister."

Though Lisa was still smiling, somehow Jiang Ning felt that if he didn't do as she said, he would be teased mercilessly.

So he could only obediently say: "Big sister..."

"Good boy, little cutie." Lisa felt thoroughly satisfied by this.

"Actually, there's nothing special. I often enjoy afternoon tea, and having such an eye-catching cutie in front of me makes the tea and snacks taste even better."

"However, big sister won't let you stay here for nothing. While I may not be omniscient, I do know quite a bit about various matters and legends. If you have any questions, feel free to ask big sister."

Lisa held her tea cup, setting aside her seductive demeanor and showing her true nature as an elegant, intellectual scholar.

Though Jiang Ning was skeptical about getting something for nothing, he still asked honestly:

"Um, how exactly does one obtain an Archon's body? I feel like my powers are sufficient, but my physical condition can't keep up."

Lisa seemed surprised: "Isn't your master the Geo Archon? Hasn't he told you?"

"No, Master is naturally an Archon, so he hasn't particularly studied these matters. I heard he's also searching through ancient texts to find a solution for me."

Jiang Ning shook his head. Although he could slowly strengthen his body through dual cultivation, it was still too slow.

"Hmm, while big sister isn't certain, according to ancient texts, continuously tempering your body should eventually work... Don't you have those stories in Liyue about standing under massive waterfalls and using Electro to temper the body? You could try that."

Lisa joked.

Jiang Ning said: "Ah, I'll ask Master about it when I get back..."

Though he made note of Lisa's suggestion - maybe it would be worth discussing with his master, just in case it worked.

"sigh Jean has started pushing herself too hard again. Though fortunately, those lazy troublemakers won't dare go too far now, so Jean should have fewer things to deal with."

Lisa suddenly sighed, then gave Jiang Ning a meaningful look.

"Little one, you've been quite successful at poaching, haven't you?"

Jiang Ning played dumb: "What do you mean?"

But internally, he was grateful he had listened to his System's advice and hadn't used his own clever schemes to poach people. Otherwise... they'd probably be on hostile terms with Mondstadt now.

Though thinking about it, all his misdeeds had been pretty minor, like small thefts. When he finally tried something big, it was all carried by his teammates while he just rode along - using Liyue's influence to bully Snezhnaya, Eula's situation, and even the usurpation...

What kind of natural born rice-bowl-grabbing constitution was this?

Lisa watched Jiang Ning playing dumb and didn't pursue the matter.

After all, from her perspective, Eula's treatment in Mondstadt had been quite disheartening. In fact, Lisa was surprised Eula had managed to endure for so long.

"Would you like to come over tonight? Since Eula and I are leaving Mondstadt soon, we thought about having dinner with everyone," Jiang Ning quickly changed the subject.

Lisa said: "If it's little cutie's invitation, of course big sister will attend."

"Then it's settled. After afternoon tea, just come with me directly."

"Alright, then big sister's remaining time today is all up to little cutie's arrangement."

"Also, about the Liyue matter... Though I know Liyue is quite dissatisfied, please give Jean some time. This is my personal request, is that okay?"

Lisa's expression turned serious.

Jiang Ning said: "That should be fine... but it shouldn't take too long. It's not just Sister Ningguang who's dissatisfied - the other Qixing are unhappy too, especially Keqing."

"Ah, the Yuheng Star. She values efficiency and takes swift action, no wonder she's dissatisfied."

Lisa remarked.

"Did Acting Grand Master Jean ask you to come talk to me?"

Lisa sighed wistfully: "It's because of my dear friend. She's working too hard, so I had no choice but to come make this request."

"But compared to the Knights' affairs..." Lisa's eyes showed a hint of curiosity, "I'm more interested in how you and that little Traveler can absorb and purify Durin's poisoned blood."

"And how did you manage to obtain an Archon's authority in such a short time? How can Lumine gain different elemental powers just by touching the Statues of The Seven?"

To a female scholar like Lisa, Jiang Ning's existence was like a delicious meal with perfect appearance, aroma, and taste, making her want to devour him.

To savor thoroughly.
