Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Although it was the same fall from a great height, Xu Ning's feelings at this moment were completely different from when he fell from the Cloud Immortal Abode last time.

Squinting to enjoy the swift mountain breeze, Xu Ning lightly bumped his shoulder with one hand, triggering the mechanism.

A pair of golden wings suddenly popped out from behind him, stirring up the winds of the high sky, and carried Xu Ning's body into the air with a "whoosh".

These Golden Sky Wings were obtained by Xu Ning from Gan Yu at the Moon Sea Pavilion, under the guise of Uncle Tian.

Although Uncle Tian said that Xu Ning could have twenty or two hundred sets as he pleased, Xu Ning felt that enough was enough and didn't take more than one hundred and eighty sets.

Ningguang was given eighty sets, while he and Beidou each received fifty sets.

It is said that Uncle Tian was quite distressed afterward, but fortunately he did not send anyone to take it back.

Soaring through the air, the golden house hidden in the mountain valley in the distance is clearly visible.

I remember the first time I came here to test the Wind Wings, I wasn't quite in control of it, and a gust of wind blew me off course, causing me to fall sideways into the main entrance of the Golden House.

Pointed at by countless crossbows and rock spears, Xu Ning couldn't find a way to escape. It was only when Uncle Tian arrived in time that he was able to get out of the predicament.

To the west of the Golden House lies Liyue's famous Blackrock Depths, and further west, at the mountaintop, lies Xu Ning's destination.

The foundation, made up of four hollow floating stone platforms, is firmly bound to the ground by more than a dozen extra-long ropes.

Dozens of workers are busy working on it.

The main structure of the house has been completely built, and the workers are only doing some decoration and beautification of flower beds and columns.

"Hmm, the progress is not bad. I've only been away for a few days, and we're almost at the end of the work."

Xu Ning didn't even use the ladder; he simply jumped onto the floating platform with one foot on the ropes and asked an experienced worker in charge of the entire construction project, "Master, how many more days do you estimate it will take to finish?"

The master craftsman recognized Xu Ning and held up three fingers, saying loudly, "At most three days. Lady Ningguang has given us three times the wages. If there are no additional requirements, we can definitely finish ahead of schedule while ensuring quality."

Xu Ning nodded, "That's good. This is going to be sent to the sky, so it must be able to withstand the strong winds from above."

The old craftsman laughed and said, "Don't worry, young Xu. Even if a tile is blown away, I, Old Li, will stick myself on top of it and stay there."

Xu Ning shook her head. "You're always thinking good things. I need to go in and take a good look around, and pick out a room for myself first."

The old master didn't dare to respond to that.

Ever since the last time the Geo Archon mentioned that Tianquan Star would change, most people in Liyue Harbor have hoped that Ningguang could take over as the next Tianquan Star.

Only this guy would dare to pick a room in Tianquan Star's private residence.

Xu Ning entered the room and saw Ning Guang discussing the layout of the inner room with Ye Lan. He raised his hand to greet her and walked over.

"Oh, the busy man has finally found time to visit this group of jade pavilions."

Seeing Xu Ning approach, Ningguang said with a mixture of delight and teasing.

Xu Ning smiled and said, "I just saw off the alchemists from Tianheng. I have plenty of free time now, so I'll keep you company here."

Ningguang felt a surge of joy in her heart, but she wouldn't let him off the hook, saying, "I'm afraid you'll run away again before you even sit here for half a day."

Xu Ning shook her head, "I promised to stay with you, how could I possibly leave?"

As soon as Xu Ning finished speaking, they heard the sound of Beidou coming from outside.

"Xu Ning!"

Beidou ran in with a beaming smile. "I guessed you were coming this way. My ship is finished, and Lao Xiao said it can be sailed out this afternoon. Come with me to try out the new ship."

Ningguang chuckled coldly from the side, looking at Xu Ning, whose face was full of embarrassment.

"Ahem, well..." Xu Ning pulled Bei Dou aside and explained, "It's our custom here that we always choose an auspicious day and time to launch a new ship. Let me calculate it."

Looking at Ningguang's expression, Xu Ning pretended to count on his fingers and said, "The best auspicious day and time should be the first, the second, no? Oh, three days later, on the morning of the fourth day, let's go together to celebrate the launch of your new ship."

Xu Ning finally understood the smile on Ningguang's face and said the correct time.

Beidou, unsuspecting, nodded and said, "Then I'll go tell Old Xiao."

Beidou turned and ran out, and Xu Ning shouted after him, "Don't call me Old Xiao, call me Chief Steward Xiao."

"Know it!"

Xu Ning turned around and stared at Ning Guang, then said with a wry smile, "If Bei Dou ever comes to his senses, he'll definitely cause me trouble. You'll have to make it up to me."

"How can I make up for it? How about I let you sleep in the east wing for one night?"

Xu Ning was pleasantly surprised, "Of course... cough cough, Ye Lan, why are you saying that!"

Ningguang and Yelan immediately started playing around, and Xu Ning, unable to get any compensation, felt a little sad.

Ningguang's money offensive was indeed incredibly terrifying.

In just two days, the small Qunyu Pavilion was completed.

Ningguang specially invited Uncle Tian to attend the ceremony, and Gan Yu accompanied him as well.

Xu Ning released the little snake in green clothes and sent her into the secret room to control the mechanisms of the Jade Pavilion.

With a command, the ropes binding the ground were untied, and the now-free Qunyu Pavilion soared smoothly into the sky.

The highest point near Liyue Harbor is the highest peak on the northern slope of Mount Tianheng.

After the height of the Jade Pavilion was just level with it, it stopped and remained steadily in mid-air.

This is also Xu Ning's ideal height—high above, yet not detached from the mundane world.

From their high vantage point, they no longer fear anyone trespassing on their property without permission, unless someone jumps off Sky Island.

Below, Liyue Harbor, Goldenrod House, and Blackrock Depths are all clearly visible.

Ningguang stood at the very edge, extending one hand.

It was clearly a delicate and slender hand, yet it seemed to hold the entire Liyue Harbor in its grasp.

"How is it, Uncle Tian? Isn't it spectacular?"

Xu Ning stood next to Uncle Tian, ​​drinking and smiling smugly. "People always say that so-and-so's vision is not broad enough. Now, is it broad enough? Looking around, all I see is Liyue."

Uncle Tian laughed and said, "Seeing you young people makes me realize how old I am. This Liyue under our feet will soon be handed over to you to govern."

Xu Ning asked in surprise, "Uncle Tian, ​​what are you saying?"

Uncle Tian tapped his head of white hair and said with a smile, "What? You think your Uncle Tian isn't old enough?"

Xu Ning laughed and said, "Of course you're not old. I made a promise with Ningguang that we must make sure that this group of Jade Pavilion shadows can cover all seven kingdoms of Teyvat. Uncle Tian, ​​you can retire when that time comes."

Uncle Tian was taken aback, then burst into laughter against the wind, feeling the youthful spirit that had been lost for many years rise up in his heart once again.

"Okay, I'll retire then!"
