Genshin Impact: Joining the Genius Society

Chapter 346: Kafka Feels More Like a Lover

"So? Did he come to the Xianzhou with some specific purpose?"Inside the Seat of Divine Foresight, Jing Yuan opened his eyes and looked toward the returning foxian woman.

Yukong glanced at Yanqing standing nearby but said nothing.

Understanding immediately, Jing Yuan waved a hand toward the boy.

"Yanqing, you may leave for now. Yukong and I have important matters to discuss."

"Yes, General!"

Yanqing departed from the Seat of Divine Foresight without hesitation.

Only after the room was left with just the two of them did Jing Yuan look back toward Yukong.

He picked up a cup of tea and drained it in one gulp.

"The Luofu… has an Emanator of Destruction infiltrated it?"

Pfft—!

Jing Yuan instantly spat out the tea he had just swallowed.

That news hit far too hard.

Moments ago he still hadn't fully understood the situation, merely suspecting that the genius had ulterior motives.

He had even prepared himself to calmly listen to Yukong's report.

And then suddenly—

An Emanator of Destruction had entered the Luofu?!

"Is this true?"

This was absolutely not a joking matter.

"There's an eighty to ninety percent chance… that it is."

Remembering the phantom figure she had seen among the clouds, Yukong still chose not to mention the Remembrance Aeon.

That matter required further consideration.

"This really is troublesome…"

Jing Yuan rubbed his forehead with a headache-filled expression.

The arrival of an Emanator of Destruction was terrible news.

The Emanators of Nanook were all lunatics.

If a battle truly broke out, the Xianzhou would absolutely suffer.

More importantly—

The enemy had likely already infiltrated the Luofu.

If they suddenly made a move, even he wouldn't be able to protect every Xianzhou citizen in time.

"However, Mister Su Ran has already summoned reinforcements for us. They should arrive at the Luofu soon."

The worry in Jing Yuan's eyes gradually faded.

"And these reinforcements… who exactly are they?"

"Confidential."

Jing Yuan: "..."

"Surely not even I, the General, am allowed to know?"

Even he couldn't be told?

Was it truly that serious?

"No, General," Yukong quickly explained.

"'Confidential' was simply the answer Su Ran gave me. He never told me who they were."

"I see…"

Only then did Jing Yuan relax slightly.

For a moment, he had thought Yukong no longer trusted even him.

"And Mister Su Ran's purpose?"

"To watch the show…"

So he really was here to watch a show.

An Emanator of Destruction attempting to destroy the Luofu Xianzhou—

And watching how the Xianzhou handled it.

It certainly would make for quite the spectacle.

"Ah… then all we can do now is wait for Mister Su Ran's reinforcements."

He wondered what sort of people had been summoned.

Would they truly be capable of taking down an Emanator of Destruction without causing catastrophic damage to the Luofu?

"Thank you. You're a good person."

Su Ran's mouth twitched.

"Don't casually hand out good person cards."

This was his hotel room.

And right now, he wasn't alone inside it.

A graceful purple-haired beauty sat nearby as well.

Kafka elegantly sampled various Xianzhou breakfast dishes in small bites.

The Astral Express hadn't arrived yet.

So for now, she could only stay here with Su Ran.

Once the Express crew arrived, she would return to acting according to the script.

"I saw them, you know," Kafka said leisurely while eating breakfast.

"This time you've brought along two beautiful women and even a cute child. Looks like you don't need me anymore."

She casually evaluated the three girls accompanying Su Ran this trip.

"The more the merrier. You came at just the right time."

Su Ran opened the window and leaned against the sill, gazing at the bustling streets below.

"You're very greedy."

Kafka glanced meaningfully toward the tightly shut room door.

"And you're only realizing that now?"

Still leaning at the window, Su Ran searched through the dense crowd below for people harboring ulterior motives toward him.

If his guess was correct—

The Disciples of Sanctus Medicus should be paying close attention to him.

"Right now I'm a wanted criminal on the Xianzhou," Kafka said softly.

"Aren't you worried you'll get implicated by associating with me?"

"It's fine. Jing Yuan will turn a blind eye."

"The Luofu is already drowning in crises. He won't risk provoking another Emanator right now."

After failing to locate his targets, Su Ran sighed in disappointment and closed the window.

"He's quite sensible."

Kafka immediately realized something.

"You told him about the Emanator of Destruction?"

That information was extremely important to the Xianzhou.

But since this scene wasn't part of Elio's script, it wasn't particularly important to her.

"Yep. I imagine he has quite the headache now."

Su Ran quietly walked toward the room door.

Under Kafka's expectant gaze—

He suddenly pulled the door open.

Three figures immediately toppled inward.

Fortunately, they reacted fast enough to grab onto Su Ran instead of crashing to the floor.

"You can come in directly if you want to listen," Su Ran said helplessly.

"There's no need to sneak around outside."

"Just so you know, she started it first, boss!"

After regaining her balance, Serval instantly pointed at the Tsaritsa and shamelessly threw the blame onto her.

"Mhm, I know. But it doesn't matter."

"She's my boss too."

After all, the Fatui Harbingers were technically subordinates of the Tsaritsa.

Although Su Ran hadn't exactly contributed much to Snezhnaya—

Nominally, he still worked under the Cryo Archon.

And since she paid generously, he had no intention of leaving the organization.

"Huh?"

"The boss's boss?"

Serval stared at the Tsaritsa in disbelief.

"You really can't tell at all…"

She'd originally assumed this woman was Su Ran's little lover.

Who would've thought her status was actually that high?

Then she looked again toward the woman calmly eating breakfast inside the room.

"Hi~ Good morning."

Kafka smiled warmly and greeted them.

Serval compared her to the Tsaritsa for a moment—

Then silently reached a conclusion.

This purple-haired woman looked far more like a lover.

"Good morning. I'm Serval, one of the boss's employees."

Since Belobog now technically belonged to Su Ran—

Calling herself his employee seemed entirely appropriate.

"My name is Kafka."

"And just as you overheard earlier…"

"I'm a wanted criminal on the Xianzhou."
