Also to those saying Ningguang introduction was a bad, long chapter few paragraphs just describing her and that I'm just filling the word count...you are right.
As a gift for being right, I shall make you a 20k smut with Fischl saying her cringey, chuuni lines while having sex in the future, "Thou presently bears a burning desire...? Hmph! I shall permit you to rampant thy flames of purgatory within meinself! Ja! Ja! Schnell! Schnell!"
Fear the future...

"Look at him! Hanging around another woman again! Womanizer!" The group caught up with Yomite and Paimon had to immediately leave a comment.
"Paimon don't be rude..." Yomite reprimanded her mildly. "Especially not to a person you have never met. Next time this happens, I'll eat your sweets."
"Hey! Talk about being rude!" Paimon's protest caused the group to chuckle.
"It's fine, please don't worry about it." Ganyu assured him with a smile. "I believe Hu Tao of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor already knows who I am, but for the rest of you, my name is Ganyu. I'm the general secretary of the Liyue Qixing. I've had the pleasure to meet Yomite earlier today when I went to visit the Wangsheng funeral parlor to settle the de..."
She then realized that the people in the group may not know about the debt thing, which made her pause.
"Oh...right...I just went for a walk and met him there." She said awkwardly.
It technically wasn't a lie...
"Oh well, let's introduce everyone, come over here! This is Lumine, the shy child, this is Paimon, the annoying child, this is Hu Tao, the hyperactive child, this is Barbara, the...the...*cough* *cough* cute child, and this is Iris, the bored child. At the moment we are only missing one more child called Fischl but she's currently resting."
Voices of protest came from all directions as they were introduced one by one.
"Hey! Why does Paimon have to be the annoying child! I thought Paimon was the cute one!"
"Master is mean...I am not a child..."
"I'm not...shy, Party Leader...please let us introduce ourselves next time...this is embarrassing..."
"My Assistant is being too cheeky once more! I know I am full of energy so you're partially right, but that doesn't mean you're left off the hook!"
While everyone else seemed to be complaining in various ways, Barbara was overjoyed because he complimented her by calling her adorable.
He seemed to like her enough to offer such praise.
Even though it wasn't entirely accurate, it felt good that he thought she was cute.
That was enough for her...
"Pleased to meet you all."
Ganyu greeted them with a smile, hoping the introduction would eliminate any awkwardness.
She did her best to be polite despite the fact that she was most likely the person who was least at ease interacting with strangers.
"""Likewise."""
They all responded, looking to be slightly less tense, especially Hu Tao. She was cheerful as always.
The group continued forward, traversing the vast plaza.
Tianquan Ningguang proudly stood in the center of the crowd, surrounded by a large number of people.
"So is this Ningguang the person you serve?" Yomite asked curiously as they made their way around the crowd. "We saw her before and she seems like a pretty capable person. To have the authority to speak to the God seems like quite the achievement in itself."
"Indeed, Lady Ningguang is the Tianquan, and she does her job with unmatched efficiency, but her efficacious demeanor incites significant criticism. I suppose it is always simpler to criticize than to tolerate. Regardless, I serve all of the Qixings, but Lady Keqing and Lady Ningguang require my assistance the most."
As she continued to follow the group, Ganyu explained.
"Does that mean this Ningguang is very rich? Paimon would like to make friends with her!" Paimon looked up at Ganyu with excitement. Everyone knew she was obsessed with mora, food, and treasures. Yomite could hardly be angry with her...
Ganyu responded to her question with a light smile.
"Well...that aspect of her circumstance is rather complex. Lady Ningguang may be considered wealthy, but she spends a great deal of her own mora to expand her Jade Chamber. Which is...measured in...hundreds of millions" As she spoke, Ganyu pointed to the sky, and everyone's gaze followed the movement of her hand.
In the distance, a vast temple complex floated above the Liyue like an island in the cloudy sea.
"That is the Jade Chamber. Lady Ningguang's private residence."
"I was wondering about that for quite some time. I always felt like there was something flying in the distance, I just wasn't sure whether it was a mirage or not due to this irritating sun burning my eyes all the time." Yomite commented.
Now that it was night, the palace was considerably more visible in the glow of whatever made it float through the air.
"Wow, that must have costed a lot."
Barbara exclaimed. She was wealthy herself, but upon seeing the flying palace, she realized that she would never even reach Ningguang's ankles in terms of wealth.
"It's enormous!? Can Paimon go up there? Does Ningguang accept guests?"
Lumine smiled and said, "Look at Paimon...she gets giddy whenever she sees something expensive..."
"Lady Ningguang is very busy and she generally only accepts to meet people she takes a liking to..."
"Aw..." Paimon deflated, clearly disappointed.
"I'm sorry...you'll need to find an alternative...Now then, let me continue. The Jade Chamber is additionally utilized for private meetings with the other Qixing. Since the majority of you are from Mondstadt, I assume you do not know what Qixing means, so allow me to explain. According to my knowledge, Mondstadt's government is made up of the Knights of Favonius."
Everyone listened intently, trying to understand the concept.
"Liyue is a little bit different. The 'Liyue Qixing' or 'The Seven Stars of Liyue' is a group of seven merchants and business leaders. These leaders determine the Liyue's course of action for the upcoming year and resolve internal problems such as corruption, rebellion, and other internal disputes between factions, as well as economic disputes that have arisen within the merchant community."
As Ganyu listed off the reasons how the government in Liyue worked, the conversation picked up.
