Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Ningguang was pulling Beidou, who was dozing off and swaying on her shoulder, into her arms to make her sleeping position more comfortable.

Hearing Xu Ning's words, he looked up in surprise.

"Partnership... what kind of business?"

Xu Ning shook the wine gourd in his hand and said with a smile, "Selling wine!"

Big Yellow, who had been secretly listening to Xu Ning's words, hurriedly turned around.

"Xu Ning, but I was here first!"

Xu Ning waved his hand, "I can't forget you, focus on the road."

Xu Ning turned to Ning Guang and explained, "I could tell at a glance that you are a born business genius."

Ningguang chuckled, then immediately nodded, feigning seriousness, "Yes."

Xu Ning seemed unaware that Ningguang was cooperating with him, and continued to deceive her, saying, "You just need an opportunity."

Ningguang suppressed a laugh and nodded again, saying, "Yes."

"Then I'll hand this opportunity over to you and him now."

Xu Ning tilted his head back and took a big gulp of wine, then casually pointed at Ningguang and Dahuang.

"As the old saying goes, 'A merchant sits and a merchant travels.' Da Huang is used to traveling on land, so for now, let him be a merchant between Mondstadt and Liyue. Of course, in the future, Sumeru and Fontaine will also be involved."

"Let him use my inexhaustible divine wine to earn us the first barrel of Mora."

"As for Ningguang, I need you to use this continuous flow of Mora to become the first investor in Liyue. With your investment, you can expand your influence and eventually become the actual controller of Liyue. You can then be the one to oversee Liyue for me, and in this place where thousands of ships gather and merchants flock, you can control all the information of the seven kingdoms."

"A great upheaval is inevitable in the future. In such a chaotic world, people will be treated worse than dogs. If we don't prepare for the future..."

Xu Ning himself didn't realize that his voice was gradually becoming lower and his head was drooping.

Ningguang reached out and gently waved her hand in front of Xu Ning's face, only to find that he had fallen asleep.

"Oh, you were drunk! What you just said really startled me!"

Ningguang sat up slightly and twisted her waist; it was quite tiring to keep holding Beidou like this.

"Brother Huang, was this your and Xu Ning's original plan for the future?"

Although Ningguang could tell that Xu Ning was somewhat drunk, she found it amusing and also felt a bit more hopeful about the future scenario he described.

But since it was their first meeting, he took the idea of ​​him taking control of the seven kingdoms as a joke.

However, Ningguang still wanted to get some information from Dahuang about Xu Ning's idea of ​​partnering to sell alcohol.

To everyone's surprise, Da Huang awkwardly said that he had only planned to buy a few jars of wine from Xu Ning to test the market, and had not even planned to have a long-term cooperation with Xu Ning.

"Moreover, even those three jars of wine were given to me on credit by Xu Ning, because I didn't have enough Mora to pay for them. That kid actually sold a jar of wine for 200,000 Mora at Wangshu Inn."

"Therefore, I am still full of confidence for this trip to Liyue."

Ningguang turned her gaze to the Eye of God on Xu Ning's wine gourd.

If this is indeed the Eye of God, it can conjure up endless fine wine.

So Xu Ning's business, which involved no initial investment, was indeed a good deal.

But why drag myself into it?

"Brother Huang, have you... heard Xu Ning mention me before?"

Ningguang had to use a lot of effort to ask that question in a low voice.

Big Yellow shook its head.

"I only met Xu Ning and Bei Dou for the first time ten days ago. I heard that they live in a fishing village west of Wangshu Inn, which is almost isolated from the world."

"Although we don't know each other well, I haven't heard him talk about you at all."

"And judging from what just happened, they didn't recognize you at all, but why did they seem to know what you looked like after you gave your name?"

Ningguang thought about it carefully, "I can't figure it out either."

He shook his head slightly, temporarily putting these thoughts aside.

Where are we?

"We're about to cross the center of Guili Plain. I remember there's a stone bridge ahead, and the Thousand Rock Army is stationed to the south. We can rest there when we get there."

After walking a short distance, a stone bridge indeed appeared ahead.

Overjoyed, Da Huang whipped the whip twice more.

The carriage jolted and bumped a few times on the uneven stone bridge, and Xu Ning was suddenly awakened.

"Haha, I didn't expect to fall asleep. I've gotten into the habit of going to bed early lately."

Xu Ning yawned and saw Beidou being held in Ningguang's arms. He reached out his hand.

"You must be tired too, let me hold her for a while!"

Ningguang smiled and shook her head slightly, saying softly, "It's alright, she might wake up if I move her."

"I'm not tired yet. But what kind of investment did you mention earlier? Could you tell me about it?"

Xu Ning was taken aback and scratched his head.

"Did I say that? Well, actually I don't really understand either. But to put it simply, it's like I've found a good business opportunity, but I don't want to do it myself. I'll hand it over to you, provide you with Mora or other assistance, and after helping you succeed, I'll take a share of your profits."

Ningguang nodded, indicating that she understood, and she also suggested another possibility.

"But there's also the possibility of losing money! I might fail, after all, who can predict what will happen in business? I might even embezzle the Mora you funded and run away!"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Of course there are risks. That requires your discernment to identify them. However, if you can always make the right judgment and point out the right path for the merchants you invest in, helping them get out of trouble and make a fortune, I'm afraid you'll become a guiding light for all merchants in no time."

"By then, a casual remark you make could become a bellwether for the next business miracle."

Ningguang carefully considered the possibility Xu Ning mentioned and couldn't help but imagine herself being able to command a large following.

"If it weren't for the extremely important matter I have to attend to in Liyue Harbor, I'm afraid I would be discussing with you the first step in our path to wealth."

Xu Ning extended his hand to Ningguang and said, "But I can make a promise with you, within three days. Regardless of whether my matter succeeds or fails, I will meet with you at Liyue Harbor to discuss our future cooperation. Are you willing to make that promise with me?"

Ningguang hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and gently pressed her hand on Xu Ning's palm.

"See you in three days."

Ningguang was genuinely curious about what changes this young man, who was about her age, could bring to her life.

After all, he was also eager to see the future he described.

Suddenly, Da Huang spoke up: "The entrance to Liyue Harbor is just ahead, but something seems off right now."
