Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Xu Ning laughed and said, "You're always running around and jumping around like a monkey, how could you possibly wear a cheongsam? How about I buy you a pretty training outfit? It'll be red too."

Beidou pouted, "No!"

Xu Ning thought for a moment, "Even if I bought it for you, it would be very incongruous to wear a cheongsam while carrying a greatsword."

Beidou shook his head, "I don't care!"

Xu Ning's forehead was covered in sweat. "Moreover, when you wear a cheongsam, not only can you not lift your leg to kick someone in a fight, but you can also walk step by step."

Beidou hesitated for a moment, but finally stubbornly said, "You help me solve it."

Xu Ning was exasperated, but finally sighed and said to the maid, "Pick one for her too!"

It must be said that the maid of Feiyun Pavilion has a truly discerning eye.

They quickly selected a red cheongsam with black patterns and a sea of ​​clouds for Beidou to wear.

Having grown accustomed to Beidou's tomboyish demeanor, Xu Ning was inexplicably struck by the thought that "my daughter has grown up" as she watched her sway slowly toward him.

Beidou, however, was completely oblivious, forcefully bending her legs and raising them high, causing her knees to bulge out of her cheongsam.

"Xu Ning, it's so difficult to walk like this, you can't even lift your legs."

Xu Ning flicked her finger on the top of her head. "Didn't I say that before? When you walk in a cheongsam, your feet shouldn't be lifted above your ankles. What are you trying to do by raising your leg so high?"

Beidou looked pleadingly at him, "I really want Xu Ning, please help me think of a way."

Xu Ning sighed and asked the maid, "I'd like the slit in this dress to be higher, is that alright?"

The maid smiled and said, "No problem, I'll go and call a professional tailor. You can tell her your ideas."

The tailor, a still-attractive middle-aged woman, asked kindly, "Excuse me, sir, how far does the side slit go?"

Xu Ning turned Beidou around, examined him carefully, and then pointed his finger at Beidou's waist and hip area.

"This is fine."

The woman was startled.

Wow, that's an unprecedented height!

The woman squinted and looked Xu Ning up and down, then nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I understand."

Xu Ning coughed awkwardly. "I know you know, but what's with that strange look in your eyes?"

After thinking for a moment, Xu Ning felt it was best to explain, "Actually, this is mainly for convenience during activities..."

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then nodded earnestly and said, "Yes, I understand!"

Xu Ning felt even more uncomfortable. "I do know you know, but why are you smiling so strangely?"

Xu Ning thought for a moment and decided to add, "It's during a fight..."

The woman laughed and waved her hand, "I know, I know, you can come back to pick it up tomorrow."

The woman took Beidou to the back to change clothes and take her measurements.

Xu Ning wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and suddenly noticed that Ning Guang was also struggling to suppress her laughter.

Xu Ning tilted his head and asked unhappily, "You found out too?"

Seeing Xu Ning's embarrassed expression, Ningguang finally burst out laughing.

"Um, I really don't know... Haha!"

Fortunately, Xingqiu's older brother had finished his work and came over.

This finally relieved Xu Ning's predicament.

Xu Ning briefly told him about what happened with Jin Po last night.

However, he was not told about the Dust Concealment Gourd; he was only told that he was forging a weapon.

The young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce laughed heartily.

"Since it was a gift personally given by Xingqiu, why should you ask for anything in return? Besides, if anyone should be grateful for this favor, it should be Xiangling."

Xu Ning nodded, "Of course. Since the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is so generous, I won't be pretentious anymore."

"I came to Liyue Harbor to do some business with Liyue wine. Once I've settled in, I'll definitely invite you and Xingqiu to try my fine wine."

Upon hearing that Xu Ning was also doing business in Liyue Harbor, the young master asked curiously, "Are you planning to travel as a merchant or have you set up a shop here?"

Traveling merchants naturally operate like Da Huang, shuttling between two places to exchange goods and earn the price difference.

Acquiring a shop means establishing a foothold in the local area and expanding your business.

Xu Ning shook his head and said, "I'm new to this place and don't know what the local market is like yet. I'm planning to go to the Liyue General Affairs Department first and apply for a stall at the port to see how things go."

Upon hearing this, the young master immediately said, "The affairs of the General Affairs Department are complicated. Your application may take ten days to half a month to be approved. I am very familiar with the clerk there. Let me find someone to help you with it!"

Xu Ning was overjoyed and bowed respectfully, saying, "I really have to thank you for this."

As expected, the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was truly exceptional. In less than a quarter of an hour, a bespectacled man emerged from the General Affairs Department and presented a bamboo plaque to the young master.

The young master handed the bamboo plaque to Xu Ning and explained, "The front has the General Affairs Department's seal, and the back indicates the location of the stall."

"This place is located in the northwest corner of White Horse Inn. To the left is the land entrance to Liyue, and to the right is the seaport. The location isn't the best, but with all the merchants gathering in Liyue now, it's hard to find a better place for the time being."

Xu Ning took it and hid it, then laughed and said, "This has already exceeded my expectations by a lot."

With the matter settled, the two were about to part ways when Xu Ning suddenly remembered something.

"I also want to buy a large piece of cloth to make a wine sign. It doesn't need to be fancy, just cheap and sturdy."

Xu Ning, carrying a roll of cloth with large characters written on it, walked towards the port with Ningguang and Beidou.

"This young master is really kind-hearted; he even helped us write the characters."

Ningguang looked at the cloth in Xu Ning's arms; it was the wine banner Xu Ning had mentioned earlier.

Beidou laughed and said, "But didn't you see his expression at the end? He practically wanted to keep Xu Ning there."

Xu Ning smiled as she recalled the young master's appearance.

At the dock, Big Yellow was already waiting there.

Not only did they bring a cartload of wine jars of all sizes, but they also bought a wooden rack to hold the wine.

Xu Ning directed Da Huang and the other two to pretend to pull up the roll of cloth to cover their figures, and then sent the ten large wine jars and twenty small wine jars next to him into the Dust Concealment Cave.

Xu Ning was the last to go in, and he almost tripped over the jars scattered all over the floor as soon as he entered.

A man in a blue robe wearing a white apron was planesing wood with a small plane in his hand, leaving wood shavings scattered on the ground.

"Hey, this is quite a complete set of equipment."

Xu Ning stroked the smooth wooden block with his hand, marveling at Qingyi's craftsmanship.

“Well done. I’ll bring you some treats later. Now take a break and quickly plant five Jade Bamboo stalks, then cut them down. I need to make a trellis.”

After giving instructions to Qingyi, Xu Ning walked towards the pools of water. "Which type of wine should we sell first?"
