Then Jiang Ning understood. It seemed that his master had been communicating with Qi Xing recently. Although he didn't know the outcome, it seemed that he and Ning Guang had a very pleasant conversation.
She even gave Ningguang a copy of the otherworldly book that she had given to her master, which he treasured. Coincidentally, this copy was a part of Das Kapital.
Ningguang had originally intended to just take a look to kill some time, but once she saw it, she was amazed by its beauty.
Much of the knowledge in this book was ahead of its time, which greatly benefited Ningguang. She couldn't help but stay up all night to finish reading it, and then spent her free time studying it in detail in the days that followed.
The "snowflakes" that drove merchants crazy were those that had been scattered many times.
Then, after reading it, I realized there was more content to come. After inquiring, I learned that it was Jiang Ning who had brought it out.
So they went directly to Jiangning.
Xianyun concealed his merits and fame, giving his disciple and Tianquanxing a private opportunity to meet.
Seeing Ningguang's friendly demeanor, Jiang Ning couldn't resist either:
"Um, Sister Ningguang, I'll write down the rest for you in a while... No need to be so polite."
Ningguang rested her chin on one hand, while the other hand gently caressed Jiang Ning's loose hair as if playing with some rare treasure. Her eyes were full of tenderness as she spoke:
"Do you really think that I'm only this close to you because of this knowledge?"
"No, absolutely not."
Jiang Ning wanted to say yes, but his intuition told him that he couldn't be so honest at this time, so he quickly replied.
"That's it. Remember, before I knew you possessed this knowledge, you were already the only man who could enter my Jade Pavilion at any time without needing to report."
Ningguang's words made Jiang Ning very happy, not because of this special privilege, but because she called me a man.
I'm an adult now!
Yay! Ningguang is a good person.
Jiang Ning had a very good impression of this person who treated him like an adult.
When it was time to leave after the meal, Ningguang escorted Jiang Ning all the way to the floating stone used for transporting people up and down. Even under the astonished gazes of the Thousand Rock Army guards, she helped Jiang Ning tidy his slightly disheveled white hair and said:
"Remember to come visit me when you have time. Also, if you need money, just mention my name and I'll reimburse you no matter how much the bill is."
Qianyan Army was shocked, but the little secretary was not surprised at all.
She couldn't even imagine what kind of man Ningguang, whom she admired so much, would like, and judging from Ningguang's appearance, she didn't seem to have that idea either.
However, ever since Jiang Ning came to Liyue Harbor a year ago, it seems that Ningguang, our lady, has gone from being curious at the beginning to being close to him, and now she even smiles when talking about Jiang Ning.
Then, setting aside the one who seemed to have a bit of a crush on Ningguang, the other two secretaries were quite worried.
This, this, this... Lady Ningguang is breaking the law! And no wonder she's so indifferent to so many talented young people; it turns out she likes heavy industry.
But over time, the secretaries became more casual, and after the Lantern Festival, well, although it still seems like heavy industry, they were no longer breaking the law due to their age.
Moreover, it seems that Lady Ningguang on their side has also figured this out, as she seems to be making more frequent appointments with this Young Master Jiangning.
After bidding farewell to Ningguang, Jiang Ning went back to work overtime writing a book. Of course, while Jiang Ning was in charge of working overtime, the system was the one doing the work.
[Host, I've figured it out. All you do all day is make me copy books, or get you some books from your original world.]
"Otherwise what? What else can you do? There's no personal panel, no system shop, and what's even more absurd is that you have to read the manual to see any items or skills."
The system touched its temporarily non-existent head and suddenly realized that it seemed to have done nothing but complain, embarrass itself, and cling to the host's coattails.
What did my older sister say again?
Oh, if the system can't do anything, but you've found an extremely reliable host, there's still one thing you can do after transforming.
That's mugwort. Although I don't know what mugwort means, my sister said it means being a wife.
The system was naturally very happy to oblige. Since it was already bound to the host, it didn't matter. Once it took human form, it would give all the permissions to its host and then become a parasite who only ate, drank, played, and stole performance points.
Seeing that the system was silent, he thought it was deep in self-reflection, caught in some inexplicable anticipation. So he took a breath, prepared to go back and rest, and then started hoeing the earth.
…………
On the outskirts of Liyue Harbor, at a campsite, there seemed to be quite a few Fatui members loitering around, and in the center of the tents was a relatively luxurious one.
A handsome young man with a cheetah-like physique, exuding explosive power and sharpness, emerged from inside.
Wearing winter clothes, with the Eye of God hanging from her waist, and other accessories.
This is Tartaglia, the last Fatui Enforcer, codenamed "Prince," who is about to enter Liyue via the official road.
"Hey, hey, hey, I said, didn't we agree not to meet? Why did you come looking for me on your own initiative? Let me tell you, there are Liyue spies around here. Don't drag me down with you if you expose yourself."
A lazy voice rang out, and the content of the words was not friendly; in fact, it was rather sarcastic.
"Hmph, I don't need you to remind me. The cricket is at the bottom of the list... Do you think I can't see it? Use your muscle-bound brain to think about it properly."
Another haughty voice rang out. Surrounded by several sorcerers, a woman with a hot and alluring figure, long, wavy blonde hair, and quite a figure... cough cough, it was none other than the Lady, the Fatui Executor who had fought against Jiang Ning before.
"Liyue already knew my whereabouts. It seems that Liyue is not like Mondstadt. They are all good-for-nothings. Moreover, no wonder Her Majesty the Empress said that we should not act rashly in Liyue."
The woman's voice was filled with disdain for Mondstadt and a hint of apprehension towards Liyue.
D'Artagnan surprisingly nodded in agreement: "Besides fulfilling Her Majesty's mission, I'd like to meet the person who gave the rich a big thrashing here. I think her name is Yelan? I really want to have a go with her."
Dadalia looked eager to try, but the lady frowned: "Don't act rashly and ruin Her Majesty's important plans."
"I understand, I know what I'm doing, and I already have a very detailed plan."
The woman looked at D'Artagnan with disdain.
A simple-minded, muscle-bound guy... If it weren't for the apparent contract between Her Majesty the Empress and Morax, if you dared to cause trouble in Liyue, you would probably be suppressed by the Seven Stars or the Sage.
They really thought their plan was detailed and thorough.
"Alright, I came to see you just to let you know that Her Majesty the Queen asked me to tell you not to be reckless and to remember our ultimate goal. Also, I have other tasks assigned to me by Her Majesty the Queen in Liyue, so I won't play along with your nonsense. Don't get in my way."
D'Artagnan snorted: "I'll give you that same line too."
The woman turned and left, utterly puzzled. Why did Her Majesty the Queen say that there were changes to the contract with Morax?
I need to go see Morax again.
D'Artagnan looked at the woman's retreating figure, somewhat unhappy.
If it weren't for the fact that the lady was truly loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, D'Artagnan would never have wanted to say a word to this madman.
In Datalia's view, the Fools' Executors were all scheming individuals, and in terms of loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen, the Lady was the tallest among the short.
It can only be said that the Fools are not a monolithic group, and the relationship between the executives is not very good.
119. Dada Duck's First Encounter
Jiang Ning resumed his life of hardship and sleeping outdoors with his master.
Of course, this also drew strong protests from Shen He and Gan Yu, and Grandma Ping criticized Xianyun's actions as being far too inhumane.
So they gave up on that idea and reunited at Chengehu that evening.
In short, Jiang Ning has gained considerable experience in digging up the land during this period, and even captured a group of treasure thieves, obtaining a lot of tools from them.
Specifically designed to dig up the graves of demon gods, even Xianyun couldn't help but sigh that, without using immortal magic, the treasure-hunting group's items, though crudely made, still possessed a certain cleverness.
Today in Jiangning, they successfully dug up the grave of a demon god named "Chi" and also stole a lot of good stuff along the way.
Then he received a message from Zhongli, telling Jiang Ning to rest where he was, and that Xianyun had something to discuss.
Xianyun arrived at a mountain peak, where Zhongli stood with his hands behind his back.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. May I ask why you summoned me?"
Xianyun said.
Zhongli said, "It's nothing. Just watch from here. The assessment is about to begin, and it's time to let Jiang Ning join the game."
Xianyun exclaimed in surprise, "At this time... could it be a ritual to invite immortals?"
Zhongli's expression remained calm: "Jiang Ning has made tremendous progress during this period. Although his physical strength is still not comparable to that of an ordinary demon god, he has many skills that are enough to fight against a demon god. Perhaps, after some time, he will be able to officially ascend to godhood."
Xianyun also sighed, "Yes, I didn't expect it to be so fast... Little Jiang Ning is truly a gifted child."
"Zhongli, isn't it a bit hasty to let Jiang Ning inherit your position now?"
Heureia's gentle voice rang out, and a woman with stunning beauty appeared beside them, though her figure was slightly transparent.
She wore a snow-white long dress, revealing her fair and delicate feet beneath the hem. The slender waist was accentuated by the cinched waist, and her full breasts made the dress bulge out.
She had long, white hair, as white as salt, that reached her ankles; her eyelashes were like fans; her eyes were icy blue; and she exuded a gentle aura.
Thanks to Jiang Ning's efforts over this period of time, although it still needs to be nurtured within Jiang Ning's body on a daily basis, it has been able to detach from Jiang Ning and move freely in the form of a soul for some time now.
Although the resentment and remnants of the demon god provide a lot of energy, what is more important is the power of the necromancer demon god belonging to Jiang Ning.
Although it wasn't fully completed, it developed in a strange direction, gradually changing from controlling the corpses of the dead and ravaging the souls of non-demon gods to controlling the souls of the dead and soothing and repairing them.
It can even mend the soul of a demon god.
It can only be said that, under the influence of the Soul-Soothing Technique and seemingly misallocated skill points, the necromancer was transformed into a soul.
"Is it in a hurry? I don't think so."
Zhongli shook his head, then explained, "I have a contract with the Queen of Winter, which is also a test for Jiang Ning and Liyue."
"Moreover, I haven't fallen, but rather stepped down to become a supervisor, so I'm not in a hurry."
Heulia looked at Zhongli suspiciously, then said, "Have you been wanting to retire for a long time? Is that why you're in such a hurry to push your successor into the position?"
"You're overthinking it. It's just that Liyue might have difficulty accepting the change of godhood right now. So, if Jiang Ning can pass the test I set, then I will announce that Jiang Ning is my successor. In the coming days, I will gradually pass on the power and godhood to him."
"Given enough time, Jiang Ning will naturally become the second-generation Rock God."
Zhongli's eyes flickered: "Moreover, if we want to find the relics of those old friends, the number of demon god remnants in Liyue alone is still a bit insufficient. We need to go to Mondstadt, Inazuma, Sumeru, and the other six countries. It's okay if the successor of the demon god is the best, but if Jiang Ning completely becomes the Geo god and enters another country, it will be a violation of the contract."
"Anyway, Liyue is yours, so do as you please..." Heureia didn't object, and even agreed.
Because she was also secretly looking forward to the scenery of other countries.
Looking down at Jiang Ning, and then at someone close to him, Zhong Li said calmly, "The person who brought Jiang Ning into this situation has arrived."
