Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

"Everything!"

Beidou's eyes lit up.

"Then...do you have any particularly powerful weapons? Something as wide and long as this knife or sword would be fine."

Beidou made a gesture with her hand that resembled a weapon, wider than a door panel and taller than her.

Wanhuotong was taken aback. "Um, I'm sorry, I've never seen such a big weapon before."

Beidou was also stunned, "Didn't you say there's nothing I can't buy?"

"Ahem, I was referring to daily necessities."

"But I use this weapon every day."

Wan Huotong wiped the sweat from his brow and explained to Beidou, "You see, it's common for ordinary people to buy a dagger or a short sword for self-defense, but no one uses a weapon as big as yours."

Beidou pouted, "So that means you don't have it."

Wanhuotong: "This...this..."

Xu Ning patted the little girl on the shoulder, indicating that she shouldn't make things difficult for others.

Xu Ning turned to Wanhuotong and smiled, "Don't take the child's unreasonable request to heart."

"Do you have any boxing gloves here? You mean those with copper and iron inlays, that don't restrict finger movement, can protect against sword cuts, and hurt a lot when you hit someone."

Wanhuotong was sweating even more.

"We do have gloves that keep you warm, but what are you trying to do with these... what are you planning to do with them?"

Xu Ning spread his hands and said, "No matter what it is, the fact that you're asking this means there isn't one."

Beidou delivered the fatal blow from the side.

"As expected, all those 'all-in-one' companies are scams!"

Wanhuotong immediately panicked, "Hey kid, what are you saying? The problem is, what you're asking for is too demanding!"

"You've come here specifically to ruin my reputation, haven't you! Do you even know what daily necessities are?"

Wanhuotong pulled a small food box from under the table.

"For example, food, everyone needs to eat every day, right?"

"This was originally my lunch, but I'm giving it to you for free. You can eat your fill and then go have some fun elsewhere. Don't interfere with my business, okay?"

Xu Ning casually opened the lunchbox; it was a matsutake mushroom stuffed meat roll rice bowl. Surprisingly, it smelled quite good.

Xu Ning pushed the lunchbox back and said with a smile, "Boss, please don't do this. We really came here to buy things."

Xu Ning pointed at Beidou, "Do you have any clothes that fit her? Let's get her one set of autumn and one set of winter clothes!"

Wanhuotong had already wiped the sweat from his face. Hearing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and quoted a price without expression.

"Autumn clothes cost 15,000 Mora, winter clothes cost 35,000 Mora."

Xu Ning was momentarily speechless, then squeezed the small purse in his pocket.

Then, he cautiously asked, "Boss, you didn't raise the price on purpose because we made those two jokes earlier, did you?"

Wanhuotong was furious. "Don't you know we're honest with everyone? A single matsutake mushroom stuffed rice roll costs two thousand moles, so how can you say that autumn clothes cost fifteen thousand are expensive?!"

Xu Ning smiled helplessly; the inflation here was truly astounding.

Because she didn't have enough money, Xu Ning had no choice but to buy Beidou a similar style of autumn clothing, but in burgundy.

At least there's something to change into; the little girl's clothes are so faded they're almost unrecognizable.

After comparing them from all angles and confirming that they fit, Xu Ning didn't rush to pay. Instead, he pointed to a section of rope sticking out from the corner of the Wanhuotong box.

"Boss, I didn't haggle over the price of your clothes, can I just throw in a hair tie?"

Wan Huotong looked bewildered, then saw the tendon rope that Xu Ning was pointing to.

"What rubber band? This is a top-quality bowstring!"

Wan Huotong cracked the bowstring in his hand, "Made from top-grade deer tendon, with excellent toughness, amazing elasticity, and exceptional wear resistance, 20,000 Mora per string."

Even demons wouldn't dare claim to be wear-resistant, yet you, a mere rubber band, are making such a boast.

Xu Ning muttered to himself, then stretched out his hands to show the length of two large hand spans.

"Just cut this much for me, that'll be two thousand moles."

Wanhuotong shook the bowstring and angrily said, "This is a standard five-foot bowstring. How can you use it if you cut it in two? To tie your belt? Either buy both or don't buy any."

Xu Ning sighed, "You forced me to do this."

"Alright, then may I ask if you sell poison here?"

Wanhuotong is stuck.

He suddenly grabbed Xu Ning's hand and slapped the bowstring into his hand.

"Here's two thousand, take the money quickly and get out of here, please!"

Xu Ning took out the small money pouch with a sense of apology and poured out two 10,000 gold Mora notes.

This was the first time Xu Ning had ever looked closely at the currency commonly used in Teyvat.

The front features the Celtic triune knot, which likely represents the divine.

The face value of the coins is marked on the back: one coin, ten thousand; two coins, twenty thousand.

Wan Huotong grabbed the money, then stuffed three thousand-yuan Mora coins into Xu Ning's hand, urging, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Xu Ning grabbed Bei Dou, who was laughing and joking to the side, and quickly ran away.

As soon as the two ran, the skinny man sitting at a nearby tea stall immediately threw down his tea money, didn't bother to give change, and quickly followed.

The man sharing a table with him, drinking tea, was a young man with a weathered face.

He put down his teacup, watched the three figures disappear into the distance, and sighed silently.

"How did the order of Liyue become so fragile? Is it also due to wear and tear...?"

"Although I don't want to meddle, since we're all here for that guy, I might as well go and take a look."

Xu Ning and Bei Dou strolled back to Wangshu Inn.

It wasn't even midday yet when Beidou ran to the back of the village with his new clothes and looked around, but he didn't see the old village chief.

Back to the front, I saw Xu Ning sitting against the lamppost at the entrance of Wangshu Inn, drinking wine, so I went over and asked for a sip.

With nothing to do for the time being, the two leaned against the flagpole, drinking their wine one sip at a time, which made several passing merchants secretly gasp in surprise.

"Alright, no more drinking. If you drink any more, you won't be able to eat, and I'll have to carry you back."

After letting Beidou drink four or five sips, Xu Ning pressed down on the wine gourd.

After taking a few sips, Xu Ning suddenly felt an itch on his head.

It felt as if someone were brushing a feather or a piece of gauze around one's neck.

Xu Ning initially thought it was a spider web, so he wrapped his hand around his head, but he didn't feel any spider silk or anything like that, and the feeling was still there.

Xu Ning looked up impatiently, but there was nothing there.

However, due to his increasing sensitivity to elements, Xu Ning could sense that there must be something on it.

Xu Ning mobilized all the alcohol elements in his body and focused them on his eyes. It was as if there was a misty aroma of alcohol in front of him, and the things he could see all the time gradually became blurry.

But those things that are not visible in daily life gradually revealed their form.

A blob of blue, with large round eyes and a cone-shaped body, it looked like an ice cream cone with a lion's mane cape, floating and moving like a Bud.

Xu Ning recognized this thing; it was a mysterious celestial spirit!

Wherever the immortals go, treasure chests will surely remain!

As soon as Xu Ning saw it, its big, round eyes seemed to immediately sense it.

After circling Xu Ning once more, it suddenly turned and flew off in another direction.

Xu Ning leaped up and casually pulled Beidou along with him.

"Let's keep up with it!"
