Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

"null!"

Ying sat up abruptly. "How did you know?"

Xu Ning also sat up, feigning surprise, and said, "After all, he's my long-lost brother-in-law. How could I not know?"

Ying's face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment, and she angrily retorted, "Nonsense! What do you mean by your brother-in-law? Then wouldn't I be... wouldn't I be..."

Xu Ning laughed and lay down, resting his hands behind his head, saying, "Ying, I can imagine what you look like right now even when I'm outside. You're a very beautiful girl, so don't always have that bitter and resentful look on your face. Otherwise, I'll feel sad when I wake up and see you like this."

Ying touched her burning cheeks to calm herself down and asked, "You still haven't told me how you knew Kong was asleep, and how you knew he was asleep."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Then tell me first, what exactly happened after you fought against the maintainers of heavenly justice? How did you wake up? And why are you still unwilling to awaken Kong?"

Ying remained silent, not uttering a single word for a long time.

Xu Ning sighed, "You see, we both have secrets we can't tell. But I don't want to hide it from you; I'm not actually from this world. As for why I know about you, perhaps it's because I was once an observer of this world!"

"Although I still don't know who brought me to Teyvat, I am still willing to fight for the beauty of this world, and your actions and those of the Abyss Order are destroying this beautiful world."

Ying retorted, "You say that only because you don't even know the truth about this world!"

Xu Ning looked at the sky above the Hidden Dust Cave and said, "Perhaps so, but even if we know the truth about the world, we can still live each day well. Even if you are destined to carry a heavy burden, you can occasionally put down for a moment to rest, have a delicious dinner, and look at the sunset on the horizon."

Ying slowly lay down, and after a long while, a low question, or perhaps more of a sigh, came out.

"Is it……"

When Xu Ning saw Ying peek out of the tent, looking around in a daze, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Ying is so adorably silly at this moment!"

Xu Ning didn't stop, scooping two fried eggs onto a plate and then filling a bowl with porridge.

"The first spring over there is pure, clear water that can be used for washing."

After washing up, Ying walked to the table and looked at the shredded radish, fried egg, and rice porridge that Xu Ning had prepared. She asked, "Those sorcerers outside..."

Xu Ning was taken aback. Oh my god, I forgot about those people.

"Um, I only made enough for the two of us. They should have brought their own food, right?"

Ying shook her head with amusement, sat down, and picked up her bowl to eat.

The woman in green, who had come over following the scent, stood by the table with a dark face and said, "I'm sure I'm not one of those two, am I?"

Xu Ning's face immediately fell. "I've always had a question: what do you, a fairy spirit, eat all day long?!"

In the end, Xu Ning gave the fried egg to Qingyi and also shared half a bowl of porridge with her.

After they finished eating, Qingyi stayed inside to clean up the dishes, while Xu Ning and Ying left through the cave.

There are still no Hittites gathered in this camp today.

Xu Ning glanced at Ying beside him, thinking that this person might have already made arrangements, so this method wouldn't be effective!

“Brother Shanyang, I remember there’s a gathering place for scammers a few steps further into the mountains. The two places aren’t far apart. Why don’t we go to that town today and split into two groups to observe it? That way we can save half the time.”

Shan Yang nodded. "That's fine. After all, it's no fun just sitting here all the time."

After killing the few Deceitful Flowers, the group, just like yesterday, found the ley line node and placed the ley line suppressing stone.

Shan Yang said that he and his men would stay here and guard the area, and that Xu Ning and Ying should go to the Hilichurl camp to keep an eye on things.

Both parties agreed to meet again in three days to exchange information.

After Xu Ning left with Ying, he didn't return to the camp. Instead, he asked Ying, "There shouldn't be any Hilichurls in that camp, right?"

Ying nodded firmly.

Xu Ning then asked, "So this stone is indeed effective?"

Ying sighed, "These sorcerers are truly amazing. They can actually create such powerful magical artifacts. As long as the inscribed talismans on them are not deliberately destroyed, these earth vein suppressing stones will continue to function."

Xu Ning laughed and said, "Then I'm relieved. We can do some other things in these three days. How about we find a place to go fishing? I'm a fishing master who can easily defeat Tian Shu Xing!"

Seeing Xu Ning's enthusiasm for fishing, Ying was indeed tempted to spend a few days having fun.

However, she quickly suppressed her urge to jump for joy.

"Now that the experiment has been successful, I don't need to stay any longer. There are still many things I need to finish as soon as possible, so let's say goodbye!"

Xu Ning let out an "Ah," feeling an overwhelming sense of disappointment.

However, he also knew that Ying couldn't stay here with him forever.

Are you going to Mondstadt?

Ying seemed surprised that Xu Ning would ask so directly.

However, he nodded and acknowledged it.

"Will you go and wake Sora up?"

Ying shook her head slightly. "I don't plan to wake him up. This world will soon undergo tremendous changes. It might be better to let him stay there and sleep."

Xu Ning was taken aback. You weren't planning to wake him up at all?

How will Sora, as a witness in the future, seek the truth of this world? And who will awaken him? Will he awaken naturally?

Ying didn't say anything more. On the other side of a small bridge at the foot of the mountain, she found a teleportation anchor point and decisively teleported away.

Xu Ning walked over, placed his hand on the teleportation anchor point, and activated and recorded it.

He turned to look at the wilderness and sighed, "This is no fun at all!"

After spending three days drinking idly in the camp, Xu Ning went to find Shan Yang and the others. No new monsters had appeared on either side, which made both sides feel quite encouraged.

Xu Ning gave Shan Yang a map showing the gathering of various monsters, indicating that Qi Xing would soon send people to contact Tian Heng Fang Shi to provide various supplies and Mora, so as to complete the placement of the entire Gui Li Yuan land vein town stone as soon as possible.

Sanyo nodded with a smile and accepted it. Everyone was doing the same thing for Liyue, and no one made any other demands.

After placing the hot air balloon at the Thousand Rock Army's base, Xu Ning, along with Shan Yang and the others, teleported back to Liyue Harbor. After reporting their achievements to Uncle Tian, ​​Xu Ning took his leave and returned to Qunyu Pavilion.

Once they went up there, they didn't come down for three whole days.

In Xu Ning's words, he has been doing too much lately and is really exhausted.

"I think you're just trying to slack off. The Seven Stars election is about to start, aren't you going to go down and garner some votes for me?"
