Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Chapter 55 Returning Home After Many Days

Xu Ning said he was very familiar with this mountain, and there was no exaggeration in his statement.

After all, just a few dozen steps down from the mountaintop is the entrance to the old site of the Guhuapai.

After not visiting for several days, four more ice slimes have appeared at the lotus pond outside the mountain gate, happily hopping around in the pond.

I don't know if the ones that were kicked down the mountain came back, or if this place just attracts these little creatures.

Xu Ning kicked them down the mountain one by one as usual.

Descending the stone steps, Xu Ning once again saw the cave entrance where he and Shen He had defeated the remnants of the demon god.

The grass and branches that were burned at the entrance of the hole have not yet grown back.

After descending the mountain, Bai Shu stood at the foot of the two large stone statues and sighed, "Truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship. This place must have been incredibly magnificent when it was thriving. Unfortunately, it couldn't escape the erosion of time..."

Xu Ning has no time to reminisce with Bai Shu about the past and present.

With Liyue Harbor right in front of him, Xu Ning felt like a wanderer who had been away from home for many years and was now returning home. He wished he could grow wings and fly to Ningguang and Beidou's side so he could have a good meal at Wanmin Hall.

Xu Ning doesn't know when it started, but Liyue Harbor suddenly felt like home to him.

The two crossed the hexagonal lotus pond and went up the bridge, which meant they had entered Liyue Harbor.

Bai Zhu suddenly stopped here.

"I imagine you must be looking for your friend now. I've just arrived and want to explore the city freely, and perhaps find a place to stay. How about we agree on a meeting place tomorrow, and then continue with Qiqi's treatment?"

Seeing that Bai Shu was preparing to explore Liyue Harbor on his own, Xu Ning said somewhat apologetically, "Speaking of which, I should have been the one to show hospitality, but I have been gone for several days without any news, and I don't know how worried they must be. So I have to apologize to Brother Bai Shu."

Bai Zhu smiled and said it was no problem.

Xu Ning walked to the place where he had parted ways with Ningguang that day, where there was an inactive teleportation anchor.

Xu Ning had lingered here several times, but unfortunately he had never found the mechanism on it.

Xu Ning has now activated the teleportation anchor point function system.

He simply patted it with his hand, and the bud-shaped stone pillar began to slowly brighten, then slowly rose into the air and hung above the stone base.

Feeling the location of the newly appeared point of light in his mind, Xu Ning said, "Let's meet here tomorrow. I will definitely treat Brother Bai Shu to some of Liyue's specialties."

Seeing that Xu Ning had easily activated the stone pillar that Ying used for teleportation with a casual tap, Bai Shu laughed and said, "It seems that you and Ying didn't make a wasted trip. Alright, I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow."

Xu Ning watched Bai Shu leave, then quickly walked towards the dock.

Although I don't know where Ningguang and Beidou are living after I left, my little liquor stall should still be near the dock, and I should be able to find them there.

After Xu Ning left, a small figure quickly disappeared from the shadows in a corner outside a porcelain shop.

Ningguang was sitting in her newly bought small house, staring blankly at a white cloth on the wall.

This white cloth was specially made by Xu Ning as a wine sign for his wine stall.

The above is a short poem written by the young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

"With deep sorrow and lingering worries, how can I dispel my grief? Only... only... Xu Ning..."

As Ningguang was muttering to herself, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A small figure ran in.

“Ningguang, I saw a person carrying a snake enter the city.”

Ningguang's face lit up with joy, and she stood up abruptly.

"What does he look like? Which way did he go?"

The child who just came in had a pair of bright, watery green eyes and a mischievous expression on his face.

"Wearing half-rimmed glasses, a Grass Elemental Eye hanging from his waist, and a small white snake coiled around his neck. Isn't that the one you've been talking about?"

Ningguang frowned and slowly sat back down.

"Glasses, grass, white snake...it's not him."

"Oh dear, that's such a pity! I thought I could finally meet the person you've been longing to see!"

Seeing Ningguang's joy vanish instantly, the child nodded and said, "But the boy who came with this person is quite interesting. He's dressed in tattered clothes like a beggar, but at such a young age, he's carrying a gourd of wine and takes a sip every few steps. It's really..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ningguang grabbed her shoulders.

Where is this boy you're talking about?

The boy she was talking about was standing in front of the wine stall at Baiju Inn, looking completely bewildered.

Are you looking to buy some wine?

A young woman who was in charge of watching the wine stall noticed that Xu Ning had been standing in front of the stall with a wine gourd for a long time, and kindly asked him what was wrong.

Xu Ning took a sip of the wine he had brought and asked, "I'm not here to buy wine, but to ask you something."

"Do you know where Ningguang, the little girl who used to sell wine at this stall, and a merchant surnamed Huang who used to watch the stall, have gone?"

The woman selling wine smiled and said, "You mean Miss Ningguang and that Mr. Huang, right? They stopped running their wine stall a while ago, so they transferred their stall to me."

"Don't be surprised, doing business here earns much more than at my old stall."

Xu Ning pressed on, "So where did they go now?"

The woman selling alcohol shook her head and said, "Oh dear, how would we know the whereabouts of such important people!"

Xu Ning quickly circled the dock to make sure Ningguang and Beidou hadn't moved to another place before turning back.

"They don't even bother to set up their liquor stall when I'm not home? I hope Da Huang's original place hasn't changed."

Xu Ning sighed and decided to go to the folk house in Huyan to see if Dahuang was still there.

Just as I was about to step onto the steps leading to the main entrance of the General Affairs Department, a delighted voice suddenly rang in my ears.

"Xu Ning!"

Xu Ning looked up.

At the top of the steps, Ningguang stood gracefully, looking at him with delight.

"This is the house you bought? Hmm, it's nice, although a bit small. Is the foundation connected to the ground?"

Xu Ning casually toured Ningguang's little house, and then watched Ningguang rummage through a pile of bags.

"These look like things we bought while shopping the other day. Haven't they been touched yet?"

Ningguang took out a bag from inside and pulled out a new set of clothes.

"Luckily, I thought your clothes looked good that day, so I bought an extra set to keep as a spare. Now it's coming in handy."

"There's hot water heating up inside. Take a bath and change your clothes in a bit, then tell me what you've been doing these past few days."

Xu Ning laughed, "I'm sure you'll be shocked when I tell you. Oh, by the way, I also brought back a very cute little sister this time. She's in the Dust Concealment Cave. I'll bring her out to meet you."

Ok?

Ningguang raised an eyebrow. Another one?
