"Is this... Yujing Terrace in Liyue Harbor?!"
Jiang Yun looked around, then peered into a nearby decorative pool to check his reflection. He finally confirmed the situation: he had transmigrated body and soul into Liyue Harbor, and his clothes had even been swapped for a local Liyue-style outfit.
[Traveler from another world, welcome to the continent of Teyvat. The System will accompany you on your journey...]
[The System has refreshed today's skill: Time Stop (Duration: 3 minutes; Cooldown: 12 hours). Today's Task: Use today's skill on any target before midnight to ensure tomorrow's skill refreshes normally. Completion Reward: New-Model Kamera x1, Serenitea Pot x1.]
A young woman dressed in a cheongsam walked down the steps and approached Jiang Yun.
"What is your name? Stop gawking, I'm talking to you."
"Jiang Yun."
"Jiang Yun? Are you here to interview for the position of Lady Keqing's assistant?"
"Yes!" Jiang Yun answered instantly.
Even though he had only just arrived by chance, now that he was here, how could he miss the opportunity to get "up close and personal" with the beauties of Teyvat?
"Then follow me!"
The young woman led Jiang Yun to the outside of a quaint, traditional room. "Lady Keqing, there is one more applicant named Jiang Yun..."
"Why is he so late?" A crisp, pleasant female voice drifted out from the room, carrying that unique tone of authority belonging to Keqing.
"This..." The young woman didn't know how to respond and looked at Jiang Yun helplessly.
Jiang Yun gave a composed smile. "Only this way could I leave a deep impression on you, Keqing!"
"Heh—what are you saying?" The young woman hissed in a panicked whisper. "You must address her as Lady Keqing!"
"It's fine, such things don't matter."
Keqing's light laughter echoed from the room. "Let him in. I'd like to see how he intends to 'interview' with me."
"Yes, Lady Keqing."
The young woman responded, opened the door, and made a "please enter" gesture. However, the look she gave Jiang Yun seemed to say: Your interview is almost certainly going to fail; good luck, you'll need it.
Jiang Yun calmly walked into the room, and the woman silently closed the door behind him. A purple-haired girl stood with her back to him at a desk not far away.
Her supple violet hair was tied into adorable cat-ear-style buns with twin tails cascading down her back. Her shoulders were snowy and delicate, and a Lightning Vision hung at her waist. Her deep purple dress, adorned with Naku Weed patterns, perfectly outlined the graceful, well-proportioned curves of her waist.
Below the exquisite hem of her skirt, fine black silk tights with intricate patterns met her high heels, showcasing the long, rounded curves of her legs to perfection.
This girl was none other than one of the Liyue Qixing, the Yuheng—Keqing!
Hearing the door close, Keqing turned around briskly, her purple skirt fluttering slightly. Her face was beautiful, and as she crossed her arms over her chest, it further accentuated her already impressive bust. Her violet eyes locked onto Jiang Yun, the corners of her mouth curving slightly upward.
"Jiang Yun, hello."
"Hello, Keqing."
Keqing sized Jiang Yun up from head to toe. "To be honest, I am a stickler for detail. Coming this late to a job interview makes for a truly poor first impression. But I must admit, your comment earlier did ensure that I remembered your name out of the entire pile of applicants. However, simply being remembered isn't enough to earn the role of my assistant. Tell me, what are your... 'specialties'?"
Specialties?
Jiang Yun felt that his particular "strengths" weren't exactly suitable to be stated out loud.
He smiled. "Keqing, how about I just give you a demonstration? After you see it, you'll definitely want me as your assistant."
"So confident? Fine, show me what you've got!"
Time Stop, Activate!
[Today's Task completed. Received: New-Model Kamera x1, Serenitea Pot x1.]
The knowledge of how to use the Kamera and the Serenitea Pot instantly manifested in Jiang Yun's mind. Three minutes... it wasn't enough to do anything "serious," but it was more than enough to tease Keqing!
With a smirk, Jiang Yun summoned the New-Model Kamera, letting it float before him with the lens pointed directly at Keqing to begin recording.
He walked to her left side, draped his right arm around her snowy neck, and gently stroked her fair, delicate cheek. His left hand traced her soft, silky lips. The faint fragrance of the girl's body wafted over him, refreshing his senses. He then lightly gripped her chin, turning her pretty face slightly toward him.
Jiang Yun leaned in and kissed those warm, pink lips, savoring the delicate moisture of the girl's face and mouth.
His left hand didn't stay still for a second. It slid down from her smooth chin, bypassed her elegant neck, and began its "ascent." Once he reached the peak, he began to trace circles, even playfully altering their shape like a god molding clay. His right hand followed the graceful curve of her back downward until it reached her perky backside.
"Keqing, you're quite well-endowed..."
Jiang Yun ended the kiss and withdrew his right hand, while his left remained in place, kneading to his heart's content. "I really must take a proper look..."
Keqing's dress fell, pooling in a messy circle at her feet. Her body, as perfect as a marble sculpture, was now completely exposed to Jiang Yun's gaze. He wasn't shy at all, burying his head into her pride and joy.
Soft to the touch, fragrant to the taste! That was his evaluation.
He immersed himself in this wonderful moment until the system countdown began to turn red. [0:15]
Not much time left; he had to leave!
Besides recording video, the New-Model Kamera could capture snapshots based on his thoughts. In the past three minutes, he had already captured many "exciting" photos. Now, he had the Kamera generate a physical photo, and he personally wrote a sentence on the back.
Finally, he tucked a corner of the photo into Keqing's mouth, letting her "bite" it.
"Keqing, see you tomorrow..."
Jiang Yun smiled and gave her chest one last playful pat, stowed the Kamera, turned, and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
[0:00] Time Stop ends!
All the sensations rushed into Keqing's mind at once. Her face flushed a deep crimson, and her chest heaved as she panted. She nearly lost her balance and had to reach back to steady herself against the desk.
"What... what happened to me?!"
As Keqing opened her mouth, the photo fluttered to the ground, landing face-down. She looked down at the photo and only then realized that her dress was around her ankles!
"What is going on? Wasn't I just interviewing him? Jiang Yun, don't look!"
Blushing so hard her neck turned pink, Keqing covered her chest with her hands and looked up in a panic to stop him. But the spot where Jiang Yun had been standing was now empty!
"What on earth is happening? And why... why does my chest feel wet?"
Confusion aside, Keqing let out a sigh of relief. Enduring the shame, she quickly pulled her dress back on. Then, she picked up the photo from the floor. On the back, it read:
A wonderful interview. I'm already looking forward to the days when I become Keqing's assistant. —Jiang Yun.
"What does this mean?"
Baffled, Keqing slowly turned the photo over. And then, she saw a scene she would never forget: Jiang Yun, with his head buried deep in her cleavage...
"JIANG—YUN—!!"
