Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Xu Ning was also covering his head, or more accurately, covering his ears.

Turning to her head, she smiled wryly and said, "You heard it too, it was singing!"

Beidou stood with his hands on his hips on the dining table where everyone usually ate, his eyes closed, loudly reciting the eight characters "Fins transform into the Dark Sea, tail touches the distant mountains" in various tones, over and over again...

Ningguang also recognized what Beidou was reciting. She moved closer to Xu Ning and asked in his ear, "Is this... a fisherman's song?"

Xu Ning nodded and said, "She suddenly woke up just now and said that Xi Ling taught her to sing a fisherman's song. She said she wanted to sing it for me first... By the way, is this the only line in the fisherman's song?"

Ningguang laughed and said, "It really is just one sentence. She can sing in any key she wants, but I don't know if Xiling taught her wrong or if Beidou is just naturally gifted... No, I have to hire a vocal coach for her from Mondstadt."

Xu Ning lifted Beidou, whose voice was gradually becoming lower, off the table and held him horizontally in his arms.

"Just let her go. Come on, let's go see our new house."

The painted pavilions and vermilion towers are still somewhat empty, and Little Snake is still designing and making many pieces of furniture.

Ningguang chose a bedroom in the east wing on the second floor and went inside to take a look.

The first thing that catches the eye is a large, misty, dreamlike bed. Xu Ning seems to really like this kind of bed and is inclined to turn it into a private space for his grotto.

On either side of the Yunmeng couch is a bedside table made of sandalwood with gold patterns, and a large wardrobe against the wall is also made of the same material.

Most importantly, a desk was placed on one side of the window, complete with writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, while a vermilion lacquered wood scroll bookshelf next to it perfectly suited Ningguang's preferences.

"Do you still like it?"

Xu Ning placed the Big Dipper in the west wing on the second floor and walked over to ask Ningguang.

Ningguang looked at Xu Ning's smug face and laughed, "Whether I like it or not, I'll have to see which room Beidou is sleeping in before I decide."

Ningguang pushed open the door to the west wing, slightly surprised.

The bed and wardrobe in this room are roughly the same as the room I chose.

The only difference was that the desk had been replaced with a wine rack, while the sandalwood bookshelf was filled with a bunch of ceramic figurines of people and animals and small toys.

Xu Ning had clearly arranged two rooms in advance according to his and Beidou's preferences.

Ningguang felt a slight surge of shame and anger. "You expected me to choose the east wing?"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "You always strive to be the best and are used to being in control of everything. Isn't that room perfect for you?"

Ningguang snorted. "Then where is your room?"

Xu Ning scratched his head. "There is another bedroom downstairs, but Qingyi has taken it. Hehe, actually I can make do with either room."

Can you just settle for either one?

Ningguang raised her delicate eyebrows, sat down on Beidou's bed, and then waved for Xu Ning to leave.

"Then you can make do with my room tonight. Get out, we're going to sleep!"

Xu Ning walked out looking dejected.

The garrison of the Qianyan Army.

"You can't just grow strong without using your brain! You think you can just fight your way in if you can't break through? You're really something else!"

"Faster, faster! Faster! If your movements aren't fast enough, you'll die fast enough."

"I know your family is rich, and this is just training, yet you're already throwing it like crazy. Once you're on the battlefield, even if you carry a whole basket of talismans, it won't be enough for you to wreak havoc. Every shot must be precisely aimed to maximize its effectiveness."

"Qi" arranged the twelve flag gates from the outside of the field, and with a slight turn of the instrument panel in his hand, a ripple of water appeared, and the entire training field slowly disappeared.

From a distance, all one can see is a patch of green grass swaying gently in the breeze.

Having completed the illusion array, "Flag" sat down next to "Star," watching Xu Ning and the three others practice in the center, and asked, "Has the instructor been getting increasingly fierce lately? Could it be that he hasn't been sleeping well at night?"

"Star" glanced at "Flag". This guy mainly studied battle formations and illusions, not the type to kill enemies and attack strongholds. However, Xu Ning used the excuse of training him to have the ability to protect himself to have plenty of time to make him chase after him and slash.

"I think it's because our overall progress is too slow. The coach said that we must have the strength to sweep through the entire Guili Plain and Dihua Island before the Lantern Festival."

"There should be no problem?"

"Qi" was somewhat unsure, but felt that the answer wouldn't be too far off.

After all, Xu Ning has already led them to test various combinations and tactics of Hilichurls, the Treasure Hunters, and the Fatui. Although they were beaten badly by Xu Ning every time, "Qi" felt that the strength of the entire team was steadily improving.

Cough cough, my alcohol tolerance is also steadily increasing.

The wine the coach brought out was now "Tianlu" grade, and he said there were several better ones.

Listen, there are even better ones, several more!

It was already known within the family that the wine that Lady Ningguang was selling in Liyue contained incredible power.

Many miners have said that when they are tired from work, drinking two bowls of sweet wine will give them a lot of energy again in no time.

Many sailors also say that drinking a few bowls of Tianlu wine in Liyue Harbor can wipe away the fatigue of half a month's journey overnight, which shows that this wine is indeed extraordinary.

Even the generals of the Chiyan Army are discussing a large-scale purchase agreement with Miss Ningguang. Of course, the rule of drinking in the army cannot be broken, but during rest days, one can drink less before bed.

After tilting his head back and gulping down a bowl of wine, Qi looked at his arm. Even he, who was originally a sickly sorcerer, was now almost as strong as the elite soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army.

Although he still couldn't beat the star next to him.

Just as "Star" was thinking of him, "Flag" noticed the purple-haired girl staring intently at him.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"The instructor said, 'If you drink a bowl of wine, I'll chop you once.' Now you can run away."

"Qi" stared blankly at the wine bowl in his hand, then casually tossed it aside and darted away like a rabbit.

Over there, Xu Ning and "Electric," playing the vanguard of the Wind Fist and the heavy guard of the Ice Gun, had already defeated "Tiger" and "Tooth."

"Each person shall be punished with three bowls of wine."

After announcing the punishment, Xu Ning glared at "Tiger," who looked defiant.

"Why are you so addicted to banging your head against the wall? If you really encountered a wind fist, your head would be smashed to pieces by now."

"Do you think you're so great now? Think about the Immortal Yaksha, those powerful immortals, their leader always attacks from behind. How dare you take my punch head-on!"

"After you finish drinking, go down the mountain and bring me ten bluestones. If any of them are smaller than you, add two more."

After training "Tiger", Xu Ning turned to look at "Teeth".

The little girl with braided pigtails was carrying two daggers, tilting her head and avoiding Xu Ning's gaze.

"In an assassination, a silent slit of the throat is of course the best, but when you're face to face, don't just worry about the neck."

Xu Ning pointed vaguely, "Eyes, back of the neck, ribs, navel, kidneys, genitals, even the anus, and joints of the limbs are all good places to stab someone."

"Fast as the wind, dense as a downpour. Only when you can poke a dozen holes in an enemy in a single breath can you barely be considered qualified."

Everyone around felt a chill run down their spines.

That's going too far, Coach! With this kind of teaching method, who would dare to spar with her next time?

As Xu Ning was speaking, "Tiger" had already slammed a large bluestone onto the center of the field.

"They're together now!"

Xu Ning looked at the stone and nodded, saying, "Not bad, but space is limited. Stack all ten stones up for me."

Ignoring the tiger's pitiful howls, Xu Ning pointed to Li, who was carrying a longbow.

“You stand on this bluestone, break the arrowhead, and then you can shoot at any of the people here. If you hit one, you will be rewarded with a bowl of wine; if you are hit, you will be punished with three bowls of wine.”

That's really going too far, coach!
