Chapter 184 The Girl from Liyue
Even though the wind wings were still in the unfolded state, there was no resistance whatsoever.
Xu Ning frantically flailed his arms and legs, but it seemed he couldn't change the tragic outcome of his impending face-first descent into the ground.
"Barbatos, you'll never get to drink my wine in this lifetime..."
Just as Xu Ning was about to hit the ground, he let out a final, dignified howl!
Then he felt a whirlwind suddenly appear out of nowhere on the ground, and then Xu Ning’s Sky Wings lifted him up. Although his legs were sore from fright, he managed to land safely.
Xu Ning plopped down on the ground, panting for a couple of seconds. He took another sip of wine to calm himself down, then angrily shouted, "Are you planning to kill me by not mentioning the wine? With this attitude, you still want to drink Qianfeng wine? Bah! I wouldn't even give it to a dog!"
On the high rock where Xu Ning and Ying had just stood, Wendy sat on the edge, holding her harp, swinging her legs clad in white stockings, and said with a smile, "Hey, don't put it so harshly! I saved you at the most critical moment."
Xu Ning looked up from below and said angrily, "Isn't it because you withdrew the wind that I fell down? How did you save me?"
Wendy said in surprise, "It was because I turned off the wind that you were saved. Otherwise, you might be in the most dangerous place on this continent right now."
Wendy lightly leaped from the high rock to Xu Ning's side, squinting her eyes and smiling, "Alright, alright, I admit I was a bit hasty just now, and the methods I used weren't quite right, but the starting point and the result were both good. Seeing you sitting here unharmed, isn't that a contribution worth more than a bowl of Thousand Wind Wine?"
Xu Ning looked at this guy coldly, "I just said that I'm just giving..."
Wendy smiled and replied, "Woof~"
Xu Ning ultimately lost.
Xu Ning handed Wendy a bowl of Thousand Winds, and without caring whether his clothes would get dirty (since Qingyi was washing them anyway), he lay down, sipped his wine through his gourd-shaped lips, and gazed at the gradually dissipating black vortex in the sky.
Xu Ning glanced at the Wind God, who was drinking and grinning from ear to ear, and asked, "Speaking of which, your statue was stolen, and you don't even have any complaints?"
Wendy finished her drink and handed it to Xu Ning, laughing loudly, "Of course I have feelings! How could I not have feelings? You conspired with that blonde girl to steal my idol, so you have to compensate me with at least eight bowls, no, ten bowls of Thousand Winds! Pour it over!"
Xu Ning helplessly reached out and poured Him another bowl, "What I'm saying is, aren't you afraid that your idol will be taken away and used to do some strange things?"
Wendy took a sip with delight and laughed, "What can I do? Draw a mustache on my statue's face?"
Xu Ning casually said, "It's something like bondage play, never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything. With your power of wind that can travel a thousand miles in an instant, you're willing to just watch them drag your statue away, so why should I be in a hurry for this?"
Wendy smiled and actually stopped discussing the topic altogether, instead relentlessly pestering Xu Ning for compensation.
Xu Ning didn't want this guy to hold a grudge against Ying's actions, so he made Wendy's compensation demands completely open.
As a result, Wendy was overjoyed and got completely drunk again.
As a result, Xu Ning brought the drunk Wendy back to the hotel.
Naturally, this resulted in new rumors emerging.
"The honorable knight was entangled with a bard, but after escaping for three days, he received a love letter, reunited with his lover at Star-Picking Cliff, and they were seen together again at the inn."
"Is this for a TV drama? Does it have to be this melodramatic? Who the hell wrote this script?"
Forced to seek refuge in Cat's Tail Tavern again, Xu Ning slammed his fist on the table and cursed loudly. Then, a guy whose leg injury had flared up repeatedly but was now almost fully healed sat on the edge of the bed with a pen in his hand and sneezed twice.
Xu Ning threw a tantrum and was about to ask Diona to mix him a few drinks to "quit drinking" when he saw two young people dressed in Liyue attire apologize and sit down opposite him and Qingyi.
"Lord Xu Ning, we have long admired your name! We have been sent by Lord Tianquan to make contact with you."
Xu Ning looked at the two faces carefully for a moment and smiled, "I'm not some adult. Are you all doing well in Liyue?"
The young man who seemed to be in charge adjusted his glasses and smiled, "Under the guidance of the Rock Lord and Lord Tianquan, the entire Liyue region has been revitalized. The fishing industry is thriving, Guili Plains is gradually becoming bustling again, and many previously stagnant industries are also reviving under these circumstances."
Xu Ning nodded with relief and said, "It's good that everything is on track. Did you give any instructions to Ningguang this time?"
The bespectacled young man dared not address Ningguang by her name as Xu Ning had, and respectfully replied, "I will follow Lord Tianquan's orders in everything I do."
Xu Ning waved his hand and declined, saying, "What arrangements can I make? After you find a warehouse, I'll give you the wine, and you can decide the rest yourself. I already discussed it with the proprietress of this Cat Tail Tavern yesterday and granted her the sales rights for Qianfeng Wine."
The young man stood up and said with a smile, "This saves us the trouble of traveling back and forth. You two chat first, I'll go talk to the landlady over there."
After the young man stood up, the Liyue girl who had been sitting opposite Xu Ning without saying a word spoke up.
"Lord Tianquan actually has another letter, which he specifically wants to give to you."
The girl from Liyue took an envelope out of her bosom and presented it to Xu Ning with both hands.
Xu Ning took it and surprisingly pulled out a picture from it.
It was covered with small pictures, like a comic strip.
The way she held hands with Cole in the alley, the way she flew in the sky with Amber, the way she fought alongside Jean, the way she gave Lisa flowers, the way she practiced swordsmanship with Erin, and of course, the way she carried Wendy into the inn...
Xu Ning only glanced at it a few times before cold sweat poured down his back.
It turns out that Ningguang knew everything she had done in Mondstadt.
"Hmm?" Xu Ning suddenly realized that something was amiss.
The last painting, "Carrying Wendy into the Hotel," looks like it was painted not long ago. Not only does the handwriting look very new, but the overall lines also look somewhat rushed.
Xu Ning looked at the lines on the paper in his hand, and then carefully examined the girl in front of him.
"This isn't a letter Ningguang sent me, is it, Yelan?"
