Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Even with her thousand years of cultivation and ethereal demeanor, Granny Ping was almost amused by Xu Ning's demands for forty-eight grotto-heaven pass documents.

"Cough," Grandma Ping coughed softly, trying to calm herself down.

Then he earnestly advised Xu Ning, "If dozens of people have an unpleasant encounter because of you, and then one day they suddenly appear together in your Chenyin Cave Heaven... Think about that scenario carefully before you talk to me about those forty-eight travel documents."

Xu Ning closed his eyes and simulated that scenario, and soon opened his eyes, drenched in cold sweat.

Xu Ning wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bowed to Grandma Ping, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. Then just ten will do!"

Grandma Ping glared at Xu Ning for a while, but finally made ten more Cave Heaven Passes for him.

“You and He are really different.”

Xu Ning smiled sheepishly, then turned to Ning Guang and instructed, "I'll go in first to see what's going on inside. When I see Bei Dou, don't let her run around anymore."

Ningguang nodded in agreement.

Xu Ning pointed his finger at the dragon's eye on the gourd's body, and the Dust Concealment Gourd immediately froze in mid-air.

With a thought, Xu Ning felt a familiar suction force, and in a moment of slight dizziness, he found himself in another unfamiliar world.

After Xu Ning entered, he neither listened to the babbling water around him nor looked around at his surroundings.

Because he saw a green snake standing in front of him.

The snake stood upright in front of me, supported only by a small section of its tail.

What's even stranger is that the snake clearly looks panicked!

"How...cough cough cough...how did you get in here?"

The snake spoke.

Xu Ning heard it clearly. The first three words were spoken in a mature, older woman's voice, but then she coughed a few times and her voice changed to that of a young girl.

Xu Ning has figured some things out, but lacks concrete evidence.

The man and the snake stood there quietly, their eyes meeting in silence.

Fortunately, the proof came soon enough.

A gold-framed panel suddenly appeared on a flat rock behind the green snake.

Xu Ning tilted his head slightly and recognized that it was indeed his attribute panel.

The green snake's tail began to twitch up and down, pounding the ground with a loud thud, much like an anxious person shaking their leg.

Xu Ning remained silent and calmly sat down cross-legged.

The green snake grew anxious and urged Xu Ning in her delicate, childlike voice, "Um... could you please step outside for a moment? It's a bit inconvenient for me here right now..."

Xu Ning interrupted it with a cold laugh, "Guess if I'll go out now?"

The gold frame on the mountainside suddenly began to shake, which should be a sign of urging.

It was like opening a buzzing, vibrating dialog box, but because it was on a mountainside, the vibration made the entire space seem to tremble.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom..."

The green snake glanced at the quiet Xu Ning in despair, sighed resignedly, and then turned and swam towards the mountain wall.

Tail picked up an eraser from the ground and, under Xu Ning's intense gaze, began to erase and revise on the stone wall panel.

The gold-framed panel stopped vibrating, and Xu Ning, with a thought, brought up his attribute panel.

Perhaps because the green snake was making changes, his own panel was now like it was in water, and the words became blurry as the water rippled.

The green snake quickly finished rewriting, flung the pen that was coiled on her tail away, turned around, and read it aloud in a monotone, emotionless voice.

"Achievement Completed: There are no other scenic spots in the cave, only Jiuquan remains - Enter the cave through the Dust Concealment Gourd."

"Offering to Dionysus upgraded by one level: Increases stamina by eight points and grants ten Dionysus Seals."

"Character level increased to level 5."

Xu Ning looked at his panel again, and the content on it had changed.

"Wine Elements / Xu Ning"

Grade: 5/20

Maximum Health: 732 + 66 (798)

Attack power 69+1 (70)

Defense 62+4 (66)

Elemental Mastery 0

Maximum stamina: 122 + 8 (130)

Note: A person who possesses both beauty and wisdom, heroism and chivalry, and treats all things in the world with kindness and impartiality.

Xu Ning stood up and coldly looked at the slightly trembling green snake in front of him.

Why isn't the note finished?

The green snake shifted its body and said in a wronged tone, "There's not enough space on the panel."

Xu Ning sneered, "You've got a pretty strong survival instinct, huh! I'll go to hell with you..."

Xu Ning charged forward, cursing loudly, unleashing all the anger that had been building up from all the ridicule and sarcasm.

The green snake was clearly prepared; it started running as soon as Xu Ning made a move.

"What's wrong with teasing you a bit when I'm bored? I'm the god of wine that you've been worshipping..."

Xu Ning laughed angrily, "You think I wouldn't dare to fight the God of Wine?"

The green snake immediately continued, "...The immortal spirit appointed to guard this Hidden Dust Cave Heaven, you will still need me in the future."

Xu Ning laughed heartily, "Any other bird can guard the gate! Don't you dare run away!"

"Let me tell you, I'm a Azure Dragon! If it weren't for the collapse of the restrictions and the cessation of spiritual energy over the past thousand years, I wouldn't have degenerated into this form. In the past, I could have taken on a hundred of you by myself."

Xu Ning grinned maliciously, "Thanks for the reminder, I'll kill you right now."

Xu Ning was almost able to grab the green snake's swaying tail.

The green snake screamed in fright, spitting out a talisman array. As the light scattered, a hole appeared in mid-air.

The green snake leaped up and darted toward the cave entrance.

Xu Ning leaped up and grabbed the cool, refreshing body of the green snake, and was also pulled away.

Beidou had just returned from running around in the Chenge Pot and only learned from Ningguang that Xu Ning had crawled into the wine gourd.

While they were outside tinkering and studying something, they suddenly saw Xu Ning fall out of the gourd's mouth while holding a large green snake.

Beidou was startled and immediately reached behind her back for her sword, only then remembering that Xu Ning had told her to put the sword on the yellow cart.

Ningguang was also startled and took a step to the side, pleading with Grandma Ping to help Xu Ning.

Xiao Xiangling called out "Snake Snake," and then clear saliva dripped down her cheeks.

Grandma Ping comforted the three little girls, "This azure dragon is a celestial spirit from the grotto-heaven, nothing will happen to it."

"It will be available soon."

Xu Ning used his left hand to pin down the green snake's vital spot, rendering it immobile, and then swung his right hand to slap it.

"You've been hiding inside all day trying to fool me. Now tell me who's shameless and who's boring?"

Snapped!Snapped!

"It's been sealed inside for over a thousand years, and not even a house has been built, yet you've taught yourself to speak with a mature woman's voice and a loli's voice... You're quite proud of yourself."

Snapped!Snapped!

The green snake was dazed by the slaps, but it was no match for Xu Ning's strength and couldn't break free no matter what it did.

"This is bad..."

The green snake scanned the area with difficulty, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.

Just then, its eyes suddenly lit up, as if it had figured something out.

A cloud of smoke rose up, and the green snake instantly transformed into a pink-haired little girl dressed in a green cheongsam with her hair styled in two buns.

Xu Ning sneered, grabbing the little girl in blue by the collar, "You think I won't do it? I...I..."

Xu Ning suddenly realized that he really couldn't bring himself to do it.
