Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

"It's been almost half a month, and that fool has only managed to stack three bluestones up. He just can't get the fourth one up no matter what he tries."

"And 'Flag' is running faster than a rabbit now; even 'Electric' wants to switch brands with it."

"That guy 'Li,' who always carries a bow around like a jerk, has already been beaten up four times in private."

"Three times, it was 'Tooth' who led the charge, to avenge 'Halberd'. Perhaps the white-haired guy was too conspicuous, so 'Stand' made him drink until he was unconscious at least five times."

Ningguang was writing and drawing as she listened to Yelan tell her about the interesting things Xu Ning and others did in Qianyan Army.

"You said he got beaten up four times, what about the last time?"

When Ningguang put down her pen, she asked a question.

Ye Lan laughed and said, "Of course I was the one who beat him up!"

"Oh? He offended you too?"

Ye Lan shook her head. "No, not at all. But I saw that after 'Li' was beaten three times, he seemed a bit timid and not brave enough, so I covered his head and beat him up again to help him get his temper back up."

“He’ll get beaten whether he shoots or not, so he knows what to choose. He’s much more motivated than before.”

Ningguang sighed helplessly, "You just love making trouble out of nothing. Alright, go ahead and buy these gifts according to the list, and have Xu Ning put them in Chenyin Cave in advance so he can use them when he goes to visit relatives."

Ye Lan flicked the papers in her hand. "Are you going to do all this for him? I think you've spoiled those two lazy bums. So you're just making me do all the work!"

Ningguang laughed and said, "I haven't seen you do it yourself. Don't you always have that kid Shang Hua run errands for you?"

Ye Lan snorted and refused to pay any more attention to Ning Guang, then turned and ran away.

Early the next morning, Xu Ning and Bei Dou prepared to set off back to Xiachuan.

"Are you sure you don't want to go with Big Yellow's caravan? They're planning to go back to Mondstadt in the next few days at the latest."

Now, Dahuang is no longer the same Dahuang that used to rush around delivering goods in a small cart.

Big Yellow, who proudly carries the banner of Liyue Wine, and his wine merchants have become a renowned caravan in Liyue.

Ningguang thought it would be more comfortable for Xu Ning to travel with the caravan, but Xu Ning had other ideas.

"I deliberately set off a few days earlier, wanting to wander around the Guili Plain. I remember there are a few teleportation anchor points that I want to activate."

Xu Ning wanted to lead eight teams to clear out Guili Plain this time, but he didn't intend to be their babysitter.

However, opening multiple teleportation points allows for timely rescue should any unexpected situations arise.

Not to mention that Xu Ning and his companion set off to return to Xiachuan to visit the old village chief.

After he left, several squads stationed at the Thousand Rock Army learned from "Jie" that their instructor had departed.

"Star," who had once put a lot of effort into studying maps, frowned.

"Is the instructor's hometown near Wangshu Inn? Does that mean we have to cross Guili Plain to get home? If he comes back from visiting his family, we'll have to make another trip, and then he'll take us to clear out the monsters. Wouldn't that mean another trip?"

"Li" stood on a pile of bluestones four or five meters high with his arms crossed, and said, "Going back and forth like this is really too much trouble."

Tiger, holding a small jar, drank some wine and smacked his lips, saying, "To be honest, there's no point in spending the New Year at home. The instructor just wants us to go to Guili Plain for training, so let's set off now. If we can get to Wangshu Inn before the instructor, he'll be very happy when he sees us, haha!"

"Haha, haha... Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Tiger chuckled twice, then suddenly realized that it was quiet all around and a bunch of people were watching it silently. The laughter immediately stopped.

After half a day of rest, "Tiger" stood on the bridge in Liyue Harbor with his supply bag on his back, looking at the dozen or so brothers and sisters who had trained with him, his mouth full of bitterness.

"So, if this works out, we can all enjoy watching the coach make a fool of himself. But if it causes trouble, then I'll have to take the blame, right?"

"Tooth" chuckled and patted "Tiger's" broad shoulder. "Who told you to be the leader of our team? We're very willing to listen to your suggestions."

"Isn't the boss 'Jie'?"

Seeing that this guy was trying to shift the blame, "Jie" laughed and said, "Tiger Fang Jie Li, I'm the third one! Stop talking nonsense, 'Xing' and the others have already set off, we have to hurry too. If they get ahead of us, we won't lose face with you."

A bunch of young people, used to being disciplined by Xu Ning, thought it would be fun to scare the coach like that.

However, despite their playful antics, the team leaders took this training very seriously, as the monsters Xu Ning usually displayed were all extremely brave and powerful.

Everyone first prepared ten days' worth of supplies for each person, and even carried some wound medicine in their backpacks. Then, according to Xu Ning's grouping, they were divided into two large teams: "Star Flag Lightning Halberd" and "Tiger Fang Stands Tall".

The two teams were divided by the main road. "Star Flag Lightning Halberd" went to the left and "Tiger Fang Stands Alone" went to the right, both teams were also thinking about comparing themselves.

Jie took off one of the two shimmering blue jade bracelets from her wrist and handed it to Xing.

These are a pair of magical artifacts passed down in her family, called "Youqi Wanlan". Once one of them leaves a message inside the artifact, the other can receive it, making it convenient for the two teams to exchange information and support each other at any time.

It can be said that they have made the most thorough preparations.

"Jie," who was at the back of the group, took out two pictures from his package and passed them to the other team members.

"Please keep a close eye on these two things, and report them to me immediately if you find them."

On the two sheets of paper, one showed the shape of the teleportation anchor point, and the other showed the shape of the Geo Sigil.

On the "Star" side, "Jie" also gave them two cards, instructing them to collect them.

"Tiger" was at the front of the line and was also the last to receive it.

"I remember there's one of these stone pillars at Yujingtai and Chihuyan. Is there one on the mountain where we train?"

"Wow, your drawing looks like the Eye of God! Speaking of which, this thing can help us..."

Tiger walked along, marveling at the sight, when suddenly a familiar "YA" rang in his ears.

That voice sounds so familiar!

Even just recalling that voice made "Tiger" feel phantom pain all over his body.

He threw aside the two pictures in his hands, clashed his claws together with a "clang," roared "tiger!" and without thinking, suddenly lunged forward.

With its claws piercing straight into the chest of the first enemy in sight, "Tiger" had already pounced on the second Hilichurl before the stench from the Hilichurls even reached its nostrils.

Hesitation leads to defeat; this is what Xu Ning taught the "tiger."

Of course, the original words were, "With a brain as stupid as yours, do you have time to play mind games when you're fighting? Hesitation will lead to defeat. Develop good fighting habits, and then go all out and charge in."

Just as Tiger pulled the steel claws from the face of the Hilichurl on the ground, he heard a series of "whoosh" sounds in his ears. The two shield-wielding Hilichurls, without even raising their shields, were shot in the forehead and turned into two black wisps of mist and disappeared.

In the distance, "Teeth" chopped off the old Hilichurl who was shaking his shaman's staff with one slash to the kidney and the other to the neck, then stood there in a daze.

"Isn't something... a little off?"

"Tiger" was the first to shout, "I feel like I've become several times stronger as soon as I entered this wilderness."
