Chapter 239 Lord Xu Ning is truly amazing
Although Ningguang agreed with Xu Ning's words, she was not prepared to stay with him in bed and make a fuss. She gently comforted her lover a few times before getting dressed and getting out of bed.
Seeing that Ningguang was about to go out to participate in the Seven Stars Conference, Xu Ning remembered something and said, "Don't forget to withdraw Kong's wanted poster. The Emperor will probably take him out to play these two days. Don't spoil the Emperor's mood with shouting and killing."
"The key is the reception arrangements for the Liyue master's visit three days later to demand an explanation. We must neither fail to uphold Liyue's etiquette nor diminish the reputation of the Seven Stars."
Ningguang turned around and smiled, "I know. After Kong brought back the news that the Liyue Immortal was about to punish someone, the Fatui immediately began to spread the word. Now, a considerable number of people in the upper echelons of Liyue actually believe that someone should be pushed forward to take the Immortal's wrath."
Xu Ning sat up with amusement, put his arm around Ning Guang's shoulder and asked, "They want you to take the blame?"
Ningguang wore a worried expression, but the smiles at the corners of her eyes and mouth showed that she didn't take it to heart at all.
Xu Ning naturally wouldn't worry about her.
The Emperor's passing away is, in the Emperor's opinion, half true and half false.
After all, once He withdrew this time, He would never participate in Liyue's affairs again. Although He was not dead, it was not much different from being dead.
However, for the immortals of Jueyun, as long as the Emperor is still alive, no problem is a problem.
The so-called "punishment" was nothing more than a play put on by the immortals at the request of the Emperor and Xu Ning, whether overt or covert.
Otherwise, if it really was the Seven Stars' conspiracy that harmed the Emperor, would the immortals have remained calm and waited for three days?
It's likely that Ge Chenlang City True Lord, who is closest to Yuehai Pavilion, has already come with his spear to take the heads of the Seven Stars.
Not to mention that there was a celestial beast sitting inside that could choke a demon god with its sheer size.
"Taking the blame is fine, but the benefits can't be missed either..."
Xu Ning pondered for a moment and said.
Ningguang stood up from Xu Ning's embrace, straightened her clothes, and smiled, "Of course. Since you want me to take full responsibility for the Emperor's passing, then I must have all the power to handle this matter."
"Therefore, I am not afraid of this matter escalating at all. The more people involved, the better. This way, I can ensure that Tianquan's decrees can be implemented smoothly in Yuehaiting, the General Affairs Department, and its eight subordinate departments. After this matter is perfectly resolved..."
Ningguang didn't finish her sentence; she lightly kissed Xu Ning's cheek and then left with a smile.
"...I am the one who calls the shots in Liyue."
Xu Ning mentally finished Ning Guang's last sentence, then raised his wine gourd and took a hearty sip.
The long journey has finally taken its first solid step.
Xu Ning slept until lunchtime before waking up.
I didn't sleep well because I dreamt that I was being chased by Beidou wielding a greatsword.
Since Ningguang was unlikely to return by noon, Xu Ning went to Wanmintang for lunch by himself.
"Brother Xu, we have fresh pork from the forest today, would you like to try some?"
Hearing Xiangling's invitation, Xu Ning suddenly remembered Beidou's favorite stir-fried pork slices, so he ordered a portion from Xiangling.
Xu Ning drank his wine, casually watching the people coming and going on the street.
There must be a reason why I suddenly dreamed of the Big Dipper, since it would certainly not be absent from the upcoming great battle.
Perhaps the news of the Emperor's demise has already reached Inazuma through the merchants traveling in and out of Liyue, and Beidou will probably rush back as soon as he receives the news.
It seems my sixth sense definitely foresaw some kind of danger.
As Xu Ning patrolled the streets, he suddenly remembered a certain prostitute. Perhaps she could help him?
Xu Ning finished his meal quickly and headed straight for the neighboring street.
Just as Xu Ning reached the shop entrance, he heard a distinctive greeting, quite different from Chi Huyan's loud, boisterous sales pitch.
"Sir, you have such handsome features, why don't you come into Chunxiang Kiln and have a look? I guarantee you'll never forget it!"
Xu Ning smiled and said, "It's good to take a look. May I ask your name?"
When Xu Ning asked her name, the beautiful saleswoman with a good figure looked surprised and smiled, "Oh dear, how come you've taken a liking to such a common beauty as Ying'er? But I still recommend you go inside and take a look; those are the real gems."
Ying'er's eyes were dreamy as she described to Xu Ning, "Imagine, her slender parts are like willow branches, her fullness is like round and smooth pearls, her beauty is beyond compare, yet she also contains a fiery passion..."
Xu Ning coughed lightly to stop him and said, "Sister Ying'er, please slow down. I really did come to see you and want you to help me come up with a plan."
Ying'er smiled and said, "Then Ying'er is truly honored that Lord Xu Ning has come all the way to see me. Why don't we go in and explore and appreciate it properly? Hmm, or how about we close the door for two hours first? It shouldn't be a problem!"
Xu Ning smiled wryly, "You just can't stop this little rascal, can you?"
"No need to go in. I just wanted to ask Miss Ying'er how to quickly remove this lingering fragrance?"
Ying'er suddenly pressed herself against Xu Ning, raising her delicate nose to sniff Xu Ning's neck twice.
"As expected, it smells like the perfume that Lord Tianquan uses. Lord Xu Ning smells of this fragrance from head to toe. It's a fragrance that's unique to Liyue Harbor!"
Xu Ning leaned back slightly, surprised, and asked, "One of a kind?"
Ying'er nodded and smiled, "It's a special balm made from wild glass lilies. Lord Tianquan offered an irresistible price, not only buying the formula but also securing the exclusive right to produce this balm. So now, only Lord Tianquan in the entire Liyue Harbor carries this fragrance..."
Ying'er thought for a moment and then said, "...Oh, I forgot that Lord Xu Ning also has some."
Xu Ning sighed and asked, "Is this fragrance that strong?"
Ying'er smiled and said, "It is said that the fragrance of the Glass Lily is formed from the memories of the entire earth. Everyone who has smelled it will never forget it. Otherwise, why would Lord Tianquan be willing to pay such a high price!"
So you're saying it's extremely difficult to get rid of this smell?
Ying'er looked at Xu Ning and feigned surprise, saying, "Hey, I've heard something incredible! Is Lord Xu Ning afraid that some beautiful lady will smell Lord Tianquan's scent on you and get angry? Um, will I be silenced if I find out about this?"
Xu Ning shook his head and smiled wryly, "How could that be?"
Ying'er patted her chest lightly twice, her voice trembling, and said with a smile, "That's good. Lord Xu Ning and Lord Tianquan have been together for too long. Even if they have washed themselves from head to toe and changed into brand new clothes, they can still smell this fragrance if they pay attention."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ning was already prepared to give up.
Anyway, his relationship with Ningguang was basically an open secret, and there was no way to hide it.
"Furthermore, Lord Tianquan didn't just use this one type of perfume,"
Ying'er covered her mouth and whispered to Xu Ning, "Lord Tianquan used a different fragrance for his lipstick, and you even have this scent all over your body. How can I put it, Lord Xu Ning, you are truly amazing..."
