Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Seeing Xu Ning's overly familiar manner, Ying felt a bit annoyed.

"You should have guessed by now why I'm waiting for you here!"

Seeing Ying unconsciously puff out her cheeks when she was angry, Xu Ning felt an irresistible itch in her fingertips, and she really wanted to pinch them!

Xu Ning said in a low voice, "Isn't it because you're afraid I'll hurt those Hilichurls? Look, I'm currently looking for a way to avoid conflict, which isn't unacceptable to you, is it?"

Ying angrily retorted, "You call closing off all paths and exits, and shrinking the living space of the entire Liyue Hilichurl community, 'not causing any harm'?"

Xu Ning raised his hands and pressed them down, advising Ying, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Ying, our Rock King has issued a decree that the people of Liyue must return to Guili Plains to cultivate the wasteland and restore agriculture, hoping to resolve the impact of the Sea Mountain Clouds."

"The people of Liyue and the various monsters on Guili Plains cannot coexist. With that old man and the Great Sage of Demon Extermination in charge, you have no chance of winning. I am doing this to minimize casualties."

Ying knew she had gone too far, paused for a moment, and then suddenly said loudly, "Try it about three and a half feet to the left and forward."

Shan Yang readily agreed with Ying's words and showed no displeasure at all for Ying's guidance.

He took two steps to the left front and laughed, "I got it! It really is the spot you said I was looking for."

Xu Ning looked down at the foot of the mountain and smiled.

It turns out that the spot where Shanyang was standing was actually surrounded by a circle of bluestone, and this earth vein node was located right in the center of this circle.

Xu Ning said that Shanyang had also noticed the stone circle.

"Haha, when we get to the next place, we'll have to find this circle first, so I don't keep circling around here trying to find my way."

Having found the location, Shanyang summoned two disciples to lead the hot air balloon closer and carry down a stone to suppress the evil spirits.

The stone pillar is half-cut flat on top and conical at the bottom.

Two disciples of the sorcerer straightened the stone, with the tip of the cone pointing directly at the earth vein node. Shan Yang walked over, placed his hand on the stone, and chanted an incantation, activating the magic array engraved on it.

The stone shimmered with light, then gradually sank into the ground until the entire cone disappeared, leaving only a square platform with inscribed symbols on the ground.

Shan Yang took out his compass again, circled the earth vein suppressing stone twice, and nodded, saying, "The abnormal elemental flow from before has become stable and smooth. The suppressing stone should be working."

???If you???re all free, I suggest we stay here for a few days and see if any new monsters emerge. If not, we can move on to the next location.???

Xu Ning agreed, "Brother Shanyang is right. Let's find a place with a good view to camp!"

Ying pointed to the camp in the middle of the three houses, "Behind it is a flat hillside, high enough to overlook the entire camp, and spacious enough."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

The thought of camping with Ying made Xu Ning more than willing.

Only Ying's face always carried a faint sorrow, which made Xu Ning feel particularly sorry for her, and he tried his best to coax Ying to be happy.

Although they were camping in the wild, Xu Ning didn't skimp on himself at all, constantly pulling out good wine and food from the Hidden Cave.

The two Tianheng alchemists had been cultivating in the mountains since childhood, and had never enjoyed fine wine and food so freely. They felt that Xu Ning valued them highly, and they found Xu Ning more and more pleasing to the eye.

Only Shan Yang, holding his wine bowl, glanced sideways at Xu Ning, who was diligently circling around Ying, urging her to drink and serving her food. He thought to himself, "He's only doing this because of that young lady!"

Before going to sleep, Shanyang's two disciples first set up and secured their master's tent before setting up their own.

Xu Ning, on the other hand, was trying to persuade Ying not to bother with the troublesome tent and to just rest in the cave with him.

???I have clean guest rooms inside, with new bedding and beds, and absolutely no one has ever touched them.???

"If I get hungry at night, I can ask Qingyi, the fairy spirit of my grotto, to make me some midnight snacks or desserts."

"I sleep upstairs, so I definitely won't bother you."

"Alright, alright, how about this? Come inside with me, I'll find you an open space and help you set up your tent. You'll sleep in a tent, is that alright?"

Ying, annoyed by Xu Ning's persistent pestering, finally agreed to the last condition.

Xu Ning took Ying's small hand and led her into the Hidden Dust Cave.

The two disciples of the sorcerer outside could only look on with envy. Seeing their pathetic state, Shanyang scolded them and sent them to sleep.

"This blonde girl seems a bit strange..."

Shan Yang felt that there was something strange about what happened today, but he noticed that Xu Ning seemed to be aware of these things, but didn't seem to care at all.

"I hope I'm worrying for nothing!"

Shanyang sighed and went into his tent to rest.

At this moment, Xu Ning is helping Ying set up a tent in the space.

"Your method today will definitely be effective in the short term, but as time goes on, new problems will inevitably arise."

Ying tapped the wooden awl to secure it while giving a reminder.

Xu Ning hadn't thought too far ahead about this point, and when Ying suddenly pointed it out, he immediately and humbly asked Ying for advice.

???The distribution and flow of the earth???s veins have their own patterns and inertia. Using this method is equivalent to restraining a person???s joints, so he will naturally be unable to move for a short time. However, as time goes by, it is unknown whether the earth???s veins will develop other symptoms or changes.???

Xu Ning nodded. "This has given me a reminder. I'll have the Thousand Rock Army keep a close eye on these positions."

Ying set up the tent and crawled inside.

Seeing that she ultimately refused to go inside to rest, Xu Ning simply slumped down beside the tent, drank some wine, and slowly lay down.

Ying said irritably, "You have such a big house over there, why don't you stay there? You just insist on sleeping next to me?"

Xu Ning laughed and said, "After living in the same house for a long time, I sometimes want to try a different way of sleeping. You go to sleep, don't worry about me!"

Ying said angrily, "I know I can't sleep because you're lying outside!"

Xu Ning sighed helplessly, "That's because you're not sleepy yet. Since you can't sleep, let's chat!"

Ying rolled over, closed her eyes, and said, "I can't think of anything to talk about!"

Xu Ning tilted her head and thought for a moment, "How about we talk about emptiness?"
