Keqing covered her scorching hot cheeks with both hands, too ashamed to face anyone.
It was over, completely over!
She had been seen by the Traveler!
A sensation of social death made Keqing feel dizzy and lightheaded.
However, Lumine was incredibly excited.
"Whoa—! Ah-Qing, you are so cute!"
Lumine couldn't resist pouncing on her, planting a vigorous kiss on Keqing's cheek.
Then she turned back to look at Ye Xi: "My dear Master Ye Xi~ did you do this?"
Ye Xi nodded. "How is it? Isn't it interesting?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"
Lumine nodded repeatedly, then executed a 'hungry tiger pouncing on its prey' maneuver, pecking Ye Xi's face like a chicken eating grain.
She didn't forget to shout her praise: "You're too amazing! You understand me too well!"
Ye Xi speechlessly wiped the saliva from his face, though seeing this scene, he found it quite warm and interesting.
"Ah-Qing, quickly put on your clothes. I'll take you to show everyone!"
"Eh!?"
"N-No!"
Keqing shook her head desperately.
She was already shy enough; don't even mention showing this appearance to others!
That would be too humiliating!
However, putting on clothes was still very important!
She hurriedly dressed herself, and the shame in her heart finally subsided a little.
However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Lumine hugged her tightly.
"Ah-Qing~ You are so cute, how can you hide it away!"
"Eh!?"
"Tra... Traveler, put me down quickly!"
Keqing's face was full of panic, but it was already too late.
Lumine carried Keqing in a princess carry and arrived in the courtyard.
At this time, the girls were all preparing breakfast. Some had just finished washing up, and some had even taken a bath.
Because they were hungry, they had all come to the courtyard.
Just then, Lumine ran out beaming, holding Keqing, and said with a smile:
"Family, who understands this feeling!"
"I picked up a cat at home, and it's just too cuuuute~"
As soon as these words came out, Keqing instantly became the focus of everyone.
"Traveler! You're bullying Keqing again... Wait! Keqing, your ears...!"
Dehya was speaking when she suddenly noticed the change in Keqing.
The other girls also immediately let out exclamations of surprise one after another.
"It... it's a tail—!"
"Whoa! It can even move!"
"The touch feels so real! How was it done?"
"Eh!"
Keqing cried out in surprise, her cheeks full of flushed redness: "T-Tail, it's very sensitive!"
At this moment, she truly wanted to die of shame!
She thought everyone would laugh at her, but unexpectedly, a wave of praise came to her ears!
"So cute, Keqing!"
"This look really suits you!"
"How can there be such an adorbs girl! Heavens!"
"Keqing was already beautiful, but this look makes one unable to stop wanting more!"
"If only I had your looks! I would definitely suit cat makeup too!"
Even Ganyu clapped her small hands, praising very sincerely: "This look is very beautiful!"
Hearing these praises, Keqing was quite astonished.
She even heard Nahida and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata praising her endlessly.
To have even gods praise her beauty, what a thing to be proud of!
"Re... Really?"
Keqing stood on the ground half-believing, smoothing her hair.
Now, the surroundings erupted in another wave of flattery.
"Really so adorbs!"
"Keqing, do you like girls? Let's get married!"
"I really want to hug Cat Keqing to sleep!"
"..."
These praises made Keqing become increasingly confident.
The shame from earlier vanished without a trace, replaced by happiness and pride.
"Keqing, how did you change! I want to try this look too!"
Hearing Dehya's question, Keqing said with a beaming smile: "It was Master Ye Xi who changed me. I don't know how he did it either."
"I'm going to try finding Master!"
Dehya couldn't wait and entered the house.
Alusha also followed closely behind.
Even Amber was tempted.
Inside the house.
Ye Xi had just finished dressing and washing up when he was surrounded by the girls.
Hearing their pleas, Ye Xi naturally satisfied them without hesitation!
In a short while, many cat-eared girls appeared in the courtyard.
"How is it, my look! Meow~"
Dehya struck a cute pose.
Beside her, Alusha shook her head mercilessly and sighed: "It lacks a bit of valiance. The cute style doesn't suit you, Dehya."
"I feel a lion would be better!"
"Is that so, hahaha."
Just as the two of them were discussing, a cry of surprise came from the side.
"Amber! Bunny girl suits you so well!"
"Such a cute, energetic bunny!"
Hearing the praise from Collei and Eula, Amber giggled, her small face full of pride.
Everyone involuntarily looked over.
They saw that the bunny ribbon on top of Amber's head had turned into genuine rabbit ears.
Behind her perky beautiful bottom, there was a ball of white fluffy tail; it looked extremely cute.
"Yah! I really want to pinch Amber's tail!"
"This suits Amber too well! Just like Keqing suits being a cat!"
"100 points! Amber is so adorbs!"
Facing everyone's praise, Amber was overjoyed. She hugged her Baron Bunny and said: "Would it be even cuter like this?"
"Eh!?"
Eula and Collei were startled and waved their hands hurriedly.
"Amber, quickly put Baron Bunny away!"
"Dangerous! That's a bomb!"
"Pfft..."
Amber couldn't help but laugh, obediently putting Baron Bunny away.
Just as everyone was chatting excitedly, suddenly, everyone turned back to their original appearance.
That's right.
Ye Xi had only set it for ten-odd minutes.
Letting them be happy for a bit was enough; if others saw this, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Keqing touched her ears and found she had returned to her previous appearance, instantly breathing a sigh of relief.
She really dared not imagine if she returned to Liyue Harbor still looking like that—wouldn't Yuehai Pavilion explode in chaos?
It wouldn't even take long before many commoners in Liyue Harbor knew!
That would be too much of a social death!
At this moment, Ye Xi walked out, clapped his hands, and said: "Everyone, time to eat."
The girls heard this and immediately prepared to dig in happily.
Keqing asked with some curiosity: "Master Ye Xi, you... didn't you say you wanted me to be a cat for a day?"
"You still want to be one?"
"No no no!"
Keqing waved her hands hurriedly. Just this short while was already shameful enough; she didn't want to continue!
Ye Xi smiled and said: "Even if you want to, you can only be my cat. If others see it, I won't be happy."
"Eh!?"
These words teased Keqing so much that a little deer bumped around in her heart.
'He would get jealous for me; he has me in his heart!'
Thinking of this, her heart felt sweet and delightful!
"Master..."
Keqing leaned close to Ye Xi's ear and said softly: "Then I will be your cat at night~ Be a cat for you alone~"
This tender voice made Ye Xi's heart go soft.
He didn't expect to be the one getting teased by the woman!
"You said it."
