Genshin Impact, My Villain System Is a Bit Abnormal

The idle clouds were smugly pleased with themselves.

…………

In the afternoon, Jiang Ning arrived at the Hall of Rebirth. He was still very concerned about his swordsmanship.

However, upon entering, one immediately sees a sullen-looking walnut and a leisurely sipping of tea by Zhongli.

"Hello, Master... What's wrong? You look unhappy."

Jiang Ning greeted Zhong Li first, then looked at Hu Tao with a puzzled expression.

Hu Tao slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Jiang Ning! You be the judge! This guy is preventing the Rebirth Hall from doing business!"

Jiang Ning was taken aback: "Huh?"

Zhongli said, "From a generally rational perspective, Master, you'd better not go out to sell things during the Lantern Festival..."

Hu Tao wrinkled her delicate nose: "But if we don't promote it, the business of the Rebirth Hall won't be good... Look how well my advertising slogan is written: Buy three get one free, the second stele is half price..."

Uh-huh?

Uh huh huh? ? ?

Jiang Ning feels like his brain isn't working properly. What does that mean?

A funeral parlor, a place for mourning, and a sales pitch?

And then, buy three get one free? Second monument half price?

Are you still worried that the business of the ancestral hall is not good?

No, Hu Tao, what kind of demon are you? It's only scary when the business of the Rebirth Hall is doing well, okay?

Zhongli had a bit of a headache: "At least, don't go during the Lantern Festival, it's really inappropriate... Alright, it's decided then. Your grandfather once asked me to keep a little rein on you..."

Not wanting to continue the argument, Zhongli had more important things to do, so she had to bring up Hu Tao's grandfather.

Walnut said dejectedly, "Okay..."

Zhongli took a breath, composed himself, and looked at Jiang Ning:

"There's something I need to confirm."

109. As expected of my son.

Hu Tao very sensibly left the courtyard temporarily, and at this time, only Jiang Ning and Zhong Li were in the courtyard.

Zhongli waved his hand casually, and a thick layer of rock element sealed off the courtyard, ensuring that their conversation would not be overheard by others.

Jiang Ning straightened his expression; it seemed his master had something important to tell him.

As for swordsmanship, we'll talk about that later.

"I've heard from others that you... have the ability to purify the abyss?"

Zhongli's vertical pupils were fixed on Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning scratched his head and said, "How did you know? I remember only a few people who were there at the time knew..."

Wait, was it possible that you were seen by someone from the Abyss back then?

Jiang Ning's expression changed, and he became somewhat wary. It had been so long, had no one from the Abyss come looking for him?

Zhongli said, "Don't panic. I'm quite familiar with that wind god of Mondstadt. He's the one who told me this. Moreover, he helped you cover it up at the time, creating the illusion that his divine power was used to temporarily suppress those shallow abyssal forces."

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder no one from the Abyss had bothered him during this time... it turned out that Wendy had covered for him.

Zhongli continued, "So that means... you really can purify the abyss?"

Jiang Ning scratched his head and said, "Actually, it's not really an active purification... It's mainly my physique and abilities. When I absorb the abyss, my physique automatically purifies itself, stripping away the negative energy inside. The remaining energy is purely energy that helps me become stronger."

Zhongli said, "I see..."

A weight was lifted from Zhongli's heart, which strengthened her resolve. Barbatos wouldn't lie to her about something like this, and Jiang Ning couldn't see any signs of him lying.

Next, as long as he can witness Jiang Ning purify the power of the abyss, then the position of Rock God will definitely be his, without a doubt.

"But I don't know why, although it can purify the power of the abyss, why did it almost kill me after I ate the walnut's food?"

Jiang Ning looked terrified.

Zhongli was silent for a moment, then said, "From a generally rational point of view, you were just unconscious at the time and there was no danger to your life. Compared to others who said they saw their great-grandmother after eating her, you were much better off."

"Then can I assume that Walnut's Ghostly March is more exaggerated than the power of the Abyss?"

"This... I can't answer that." Zhongli was also stumped.

Shaking his head slightly, Zhongli took out an object covered with talismans, emanating an ominous aura.

"This is?"

Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened, sensing the aura of the abyss.

Zhongli said, "This thing is a remnant of the abyss, carrying its aura. It was sealed using immortal magic and a portion of Morax's authority, so it won't affect those of us with immortal power, but it will cause harm to ordinary people..."

"I want to see if you can purify it; it would be a good deed for those around me."

Jiang Ning said, "Sure, give it to me, Master."

As he spoke, he took the object directly from Zhongli's hand and casually tore off the talisman on it.

Without the suppression of talismans and immortal techniques, the ominous aura from the abyss burst forth instantly.

However, compared to the aura emanating from Dvalin, it was like a small fry compared to a big fish.

With a disdainful sneer, Jiang Ning began to absorb the nutrients, and his body automatically began to purify itself.

In just a minute or two, the object returned to its original state, becoming nothing more than an ordinary fragment of a mask.

"All right."

Jiang Ning returned the items to Zhong Li, who examined them carefully. After confirming that the abyss's aura had disappeared and had not affected Jiang Ning, Zhong Li suddenly smiled.

He seemed both relieved and melancholic, as if he had been walking through the night for a long time and suddenly saw the dawn.

"master?"

Jiang Ning asked cautiously.

Zhongli shook his head: "It's nothing... I'm just a little happy..."

Immediately, Zhongli's expression turned serious: "Remember, never let anyone know about your special ability. If you want others to know, you must inform us in advance."

"I understand, master."

Jiang Ning nodded.

Zhongli looked at the sky with deep eyes: "Of course, the ability to purify the remnants of demon gods does not need to be concealed. This will not attract the abyss's attention. On the contrary, it will make others treat you as an honored guest."

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Ning is very well-behaved.

Zhongli said, "Alright, take out the Peak-Chopping Blade that Xianyun and the others gave you. It's time to teach you something new."

…………

"This is really a great thing."

On the upper floor of the Jade Pavilion, Ningguang and Keqing saw the cement that Ganyu had brought, along with the cement formula.

Ke Qing was very happy. This way, both the construction period and the sturdiness would be greatly improved.

As for Ningguang, her eyes were also filled with fascination; this thing was a business opportunity.

"Gan Yu, you brought this thing called cement here, do you want to cooperate with us?"

Ningguang opened her mouth directly.

Gan Yu nodded: "Yes, this is the formula that the master provided. Consider it an investment. The formula can be given to you directly, but if you need to use cement in the future, whether for road repair or house construction, you will have to pay the master."

"Rest assured, we will definitely give True Lord...Miss Xianyun a satisfactory reward."

Through the conversation just now, Ningguang has learned that Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, under the alias Xianyun, has settled in Liyue Harbor.

On one hand, this could be seen as a sign of immortals entering the mortal world and living in harmony. On the other hand, it cannot be ruled out that it was the Emperor's idea to supervise the Seven Stars in performing their duties to some extent.

Keqing was happy, but she also felt a little regretful.

I should have known better than to come here today to talk to Ningguang. There would have been plenty of time in a couple of days.

So now, the cement formula that I could have easily consumed is now being shared by everyone who sees it.

Although it was just a verbal agreement, Gan Yu still felt at ease handing the formula directly to the two Seven Stars.

After all, in a nation bound by contracts, with himself as the chief secretary as a witness, even a Seven Star could not go back on his word.

Moreover, the person who provided the formula was a genuine immortal who had been following the Emperor from the very beginning.

This is not how you seek death.

"There's one more thing, and since you're here, Gan Yu, we need to discuss it properly."

Ningguang said.

Gan Yu pretended to listen attentively.

Ningguang said, "Reliable sources indicate that the Fatui Executor, Madam, who left Mondstadt, first returned to Winterfell, and it has now been confirmed that she has entered Liyue. Although she sneaked in, she was still discovered by Yelan."

"As for the other side, the Winter Solstice official has granted Prince Tartaglia, who is also an executive officer, the status of Winter Solstice Envoy, and he will soon enter Liyue."

"This interplay of light and shadow... is worth considering."

110. The idle clouds are overwhelmed with worry.

The meaning of scattered ears is scattered nine.

"Isn't this simple? Just look at what the Fools did in Mondstadt!"

Ke Qing crossed her arms and snorted.

"Heart of God..."

Gan Yu's expression was calm, but her gaze was slightly cold.
