Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Xu Ning pointed to the Big Dipper beside him, then to himself.

He laughed and said, "My sister and I want to go to Liyue Harbor to broaden our horizons. Staying in this small fishing village all day is not a long-term solution."

Huai'an nodded in understanding, then patted the wine jar beside him and sighed.

"Liyue Harbor is the most iconic city in Liyue, attracting wealth and talent from all directions. Someone like you will definitely thrive there."

"But... alas, it's a pity for these diners who have just gotten used to your fine wines. I'm afraid they won't be able to drink such wonderful wine for a long time. No, I must hide a jar for myself before Gaudette sees it!"

Xu Ning chuckled and said, "Boss, you don't need to do that. These three jars of wine I'm giving you this time are all different from the previous ones."

"Hmm... Just think of this as a base spirit similar to Mondstadt, with a very high concentration. You just need to dilute it with some good water, and three jars can become six or nine jars, and the taste will be restored to the kind of spirit I gave you before."

Beidou sneered from the side, "Who said that diluting wine with water is inhuman?"

Who taught you such a brilliant idea?

Upon hearing Xu Ning's words, Huai'an exclaimed in delight, "You mean the wine in this jar is even more mellow and potent?"

Huai'an couldn't wait to open the cork of the wine and take a deep sniff. Then, with his eyes shining, he grabbed a ceramic bowl, scooped out a bowlful, and took a deep sip.

"One word, absolutely!"

For the first time, Huai'an felt that his language was so inadequate that he couldn't even describe the taste of a sip of wine.

All I can do is offer a heartfelt exclamation of admiration.

"Then we should definitely hide a jar of it. Ah Qiang, Ah Qiang?"

Upon hearing the shopkeeper's call, Zhen Qiang immediately ran over.

"Go and put this jar of wine in your bedroom."

Zhen Qiang responded and took the jar away.

Huai'an watched him enter the house before turning around with relief and giving Xu Ning an embarrassed smile.

"I'm telling you a joke."

Before Xu Ning could speak, Bei Dou waved his hand dismissively.

"We're all wine lovers; those who understand, understand."

Huai'an immediately felt a sense of kinship.

Both parties went to the counter together and settled the bill for the transaction.

Based on the fact that three jars can yield at least six to nine jars, it should be enough to cover Xu Ning's demand of at least 300,000 to 450,000 Mora.

Because the Huai'an shopkeeper had kept a jar for himself, he recorded the amount as 200,000 per jar, and paid Xu Ning a total of 400,000 Mora.

Huai'an said to Xu Ning apologetically, "I really took advantage of you this time. If you're not in a hurry to leave today, I'll give you all the food, drinks and other necessities here on my own, as a farewell gift."

Xu Ning laughed heartily, "My brother and I have always been fortunate to have your help with our business, so it's only right that we give you a jar, especially since you've been so generous."

As the two were talking, a travel-worn-out Da Huang hurriedly entered the Wangshu Inn.

Upon seeing Xu Ning, he quickly walked over and apologized before Xu Ning could even greet him.

"I'm so sorry, I should have arrived here earlier to wait for you. I've troubled you to wait for me."

Da Huang pulled a slightly dirty handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"However, it seems that the activity of Hilichurls on this trade route has become more and more frequent recently. We have encountered no less than three groups of them since we came here from Stone Gate."

"If the caravan traveling with us hadn't hired bodyguards from Liyue, I'm afraid we might not have made it this far!"

Xu Ning reached out and patted Da Huang's slightly bulging belly, and laughed, "Then Brother Da Huang, you're going to get a great deal this time."

"My brother and I are planning to go to Liyue Harbor for a visit. If we go with you, wouldn't you have a bodyguard with you?"

Big Yellow was taken aback. He had only planned to take some of Xu Ning's brewed wine to Liyue Harbor to sell and see how the market was, but he didn't expect that Xu Ning would also be going.

However, he noticed that Xu Ning and the little girl beside her both looked like they had already packed their bags.

I'm afraid that even if I don't want to travel with them, they will go to Liyue Harbor with other caravans.

"It's simply a matter of taking better care of these two children on the road. If we hand them over to other caravans, and their wine turns out to be popular in Liyue Harbor, wouldn't that be pushing future business partners to someone else?"

After carefully considering the pros and cons, Da Huang extended his hand to Xu Ning and said, "Welcome to the team."

Xu Ning saw through Da Huang's little scheme and smiled as she gave him a high five.

"You will definitely not regret our arrival."

Da Huang washed himself off by the river and then had a hearty, free lunch with Xu Ning.

Big Yellow has already started praising himself for making the right decision.

After a satisfying meal and a short rest, it was time to set off.

Before parting, Xu Ning bid farewell to Huai'an and said with a smile, "Please give my thanks to Master Yanxiao for me. The food today was very delicious. However, his cooking skills still have a lot of room for improvement. Let him study hard, otherwise, who knows, a little girl might suddenly appear and defeat him one day."

Huai'an was astonished. He had just convinced Yan Xiao to take charge of cooking yesterday, and Xu Ning actually believed that Yan Xiao had made the dishes after just one meal?

It seems like there are more and more mysteries surrounding this child.

Da Huang sat at the head of the carriage, driving it, while Xu Ning and Bei Dou sat together on the cart behind Da Huang.

Besides the three jars of wine that Xu Ning had packed for Dahuang, there were also various sealed containers on the vehicle.

"These are all from Mondstadt. And now the upper echelons of Liyue really like to show off these exotic things at banquets, which has caused the price of alcohol in Mondstadt to keep rising. So this time I didn't buy anything else, I only bought alcohol."

Xu Ning laughed and said, "Then you'd better get rid of all this Mondstadt wine as soon as you get to Liyue Harbor, otherwise I'm afraid that once those people taste my wine, it will be difficult for you to sell it at a high price."

Da Huang laughed and said, "If that's the case, there's no loss. In fact, if your wine becomes very popular, I might even make money off you."

Beidou felt a little sleepy from the warm sunshine, so Xu Ning let her lie down with her head on his lap.

I chatted with Da Huang casually, so the journey wasn't too lonely.

"Actually, the most difficult part of this journey is the section where Liyue and Mondstadt meet."

"Wangshu Inn is undoubtedly in a prime location, as if it were protected by the Rock King Emperor. Monsters rarely appear around it, and even if they do, they disappear inexplicably."

"Once we head south and enter Guili Plain, we'll see the Thousand Rock Army stationed there. With their protection, we'll be home."

Xu Ning suddenly interjected, asking, "What if we encounter monsters between Wangshu Inn and Guili Plain?"

"Then we can only wait for the bodyguards of those big-shot merchants."

Dahuang helplessly shrugged.

Xu Ning took a sip of wine and pointed to the main road in the distance.

The road was now blocked on both sides by some strange wooden stakes, and the stakes were all different in style.

There were barricades piled up in the middle of the road, and platforms-shaped structures standing on both sides.

A bunch of Hilichurls are working hard on a great road-blocking project.

Big Yellow pulled on the reins and stopped from a distance.

"What should we do? Let's stop here for now and wait for the caravan behind us."

Xu Ning glanced at the empty road behind them. "Who knows how long it will take them all? In that case, let's just get rid of them ourselves and speed up our journey."

Xu Ning gently patted Beidou's little face, "Get up and get to work, there's wine to drink!"
