Genshin Impact, My Villain System Is a Bit Abnormal

Page 52

Huixin has a child at home, so looking at Jiang Ning, she always felt that she wished her future child would be as sensible as Jiang Ning.

So, out of love for her, and perhaps due to a maternal instinct, she also developed a strong affection for Jiang Ning.

When they were at Yuehai Pavilion, Huixin was a key member of the secretariat and had a very good relationship with Gan Yu, so she often gave Jiang Ning some snacks.

"Let's push harder this afternoon, travel as much as possible, and then rest at Wangshu Inn tonight..."

"Today's route is relatively close to Liyue Harbor, so there are few monsters. However, after passing Wangshu Inn, the number of monsters will gradually increase. So, if we are lucky, we will be able to pass through Dihua Marsh and reach Stone Gate on the second day."

"On the third day, we will pass through the stone gate and arrive at the Morning Light Winery. We might be able to rest at the Morning Light Winery if we move faster. Moreover, this time the goods will be delivered to the Morning Light Winery."

"Then... there was communication with Mondstadt's official authorities, which took about four or five days in total."

Huixin took out a map and patiently explained it to Jiang Ning.

"Oh, I see... I understand, Sister Huixin."

Jiang Ning nodded.

However, Wangshu Inn... I'll visit that Immortal Xiao again sometime.

61. Xiao and Jiangning (Bounty Offered)

Although this wasn't Jiang Ning's first visit to Wangshu Inn, he was always drawn to its appearance each time he came.

There's no way around it, boys always like things that are big and grand.

The Wangshu Inn, built on the mountain forest, perfectly suited Jiang Ning's XP. He even thought that if a zombie outbreak occurred, the Wangshu Inn would be a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The only drawback is that, like Ma Su, they are prone to having their supplies cut off and ultimately dying.

Lost in her thoughts, Huixin had already booked all the rooms.

Shen He and Jiang Ning were in the room on the fourth floor, the top floor. Hui Xin was also there, mainly because Hui Xin and Jiang Ning would be negotiating some of the upcoming plans and administrative work.

The rest of the people lived on the first and second floors because they had some luggage and goods that needed to be looked after.

This is one of the little habits of the Liyue delegation.

"The scenery is so beautiful..."

Standing by the window, Jiang Ning could see Dihuazhou in the distance, a beautiful sight.

Shen He hugged Jiang Ning from behind, pressed Jiang Ning's head against his chest, and then showed a relieved and content expression.

Jiang Ning looked up and saw Shen He's appearance, and was also somewhat puzzled.

Honestly, shouldn't this be a guy's reaction? Why does it feel like the roles are reversed?

"Senior sister, it seems that Immortal Xiao is not here. I can't sense his presence."

Jiang Ning said.

Shen He said, "Perhaps there are monsters somewhere again."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Let's talk about it after dinner."

At this moment, Xiao was standing on the top floor, concealing his aura, looking down at the two juniors, while Zhongli stood in front of him.

Xiao withdrew his gaze, no longer focusing on the young couple, and instead respectfully asked Zhongli:

"Your Majesty, have you really made up your mind?"

Zhongli's arrival today brought news that shocked Xiao.

See that young man below? He's Liu Yun's disciple, and my temporary successor... He's still under observation.

So Xiao then turned his attention to him.

Zhongli calmly gazed down at the land of Liyue, then slowly spoke: "The erosion of time, even the most resilient rock will sometimes feel weary. Liyue is like my child, and it has grown up..."

"What he needs is no longer a parent who arranges everything for him, but a guardian who can look out for him with a protective gaze and support him from behind... It's time to let Liyue have more fresh blood."

"Before he grows up, he needs my help and protection, and he also needs your help. But unless his life is in danger, you must not intervene."

Xiao kept Zhongli's words firmly in mind and bowed his head, saying, "I will obey the Emperor's orders."

Although I am still relatively unfamiliar with Jiangning, since it is the Emperor's judgment, it must be correct. Moreover, the Emperor must have his own reasons for doing this.

In the distance, the roars of demons seemed to echo. Xiao's gaze sharpened, and he said to Zhongli, "Your Majesty."

Zhongli nodded slightly: "Go."

The next second, Xiao vanished from the spot like the wind.

Zhongli stood there for a long time, then sighed, "I wanted to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine, but alas, my old friend..."

…………

It wasn't until Jiang Ning finished washing up and came to the top-floor platform to get some fresh air that she saw Xiao.

"Immortal Xiao, how have you been?"

Jiang Ning said.

Xiao nodded: "Mmm..."

Jiang Ning said, "By the way, I heard from Master Zhongli that you, Immortal Xiao, seem to be suffering from the resentment and remnants of the demon god? I have confirmed that I can absorb them without any side effects. Let me give it a try."

Xiao said, "I've also heard the Emperor... I've heard Mr. Zhongli mention that your constitution is indeed miraculous... In the past, I would never have let anyone try it, anything related to demonic resentment is too dangerous, but since it's you, and you have Mr. Zhongli's guarantee..."

"You might as well give it a try."

Xiao extended his hand to Jiang Ning, who grasped it and then silently chanted, "Absorb."

As a result, I only managed to inhale a tiny bit.

Jiang Ning's tone became awkward: "Um, Immortal Xiao, how about you loosen your suppression of the resentment within you a little?"

Xiao paused for a moment, but still chose to believe the Emperor and released his suppression. The next moment, an indescribable pain and crazy thoughts filled Xiao's mind, and even his eyes turned red.

But he remained silent, which Jiang Ning found somewhat admirable.

Jiang Ning increased the intensity and speed of absorption, absorbing the remnants of the demon god like a dried-up sponge.

Xiao also felt increasingly relaxed inside his body, and his mind gradually became clearer.

She subconsciously looked up at Jiang Ning and saw that his face was rosy and his eyes were even clear, which put her at ease.

It's truly amazing...

Jiang Ning silently observed and felt it.

This remnant of a demon god is one without power, nor does it possess its own intelligence or memories of its past life.

It's purely for replenishing energy.

Alternatively, it can be used as a necessary material in the game to break through the limits of your equipment and level.

It can even gradually complete the powers of the original necromancer god.

Although it's only a small amount, it's gradually being completed.

Jiang Ning was somewhat delighted by this discovery.

Looks like I'll have to compete with Xiao for jobs from now on.

These things are very nutritious.

After about an hour, Jiang Ning finished absorbing the knowledge.

With everything settled, Xiao felt relaxed, and Jiang Ning was also completely satisfied.

"Alright, Immortal Xiao, if you still feel unwell in the future, feel free to come find me."

Jiang Ning patted his chest and said.

Xiao nodded: "Thank you very much. Fulfilling the contract with the Emperor will extend my time considerably... In the future, if you need anything, just call my name. I will come to you immediately within Liyue."

Jiang Ning was also overjoyed: "Then thank you very much."

Hmph, another powerful henchman has joined us.

Jiang Ning moved around and realized that he was covered in sweat again, so the bath was a waste of time.

Helpless, Jiang Ning could only say, "Well, I'll head back now... Goodbye, Immortal Xiao."

Xiao nodded slightly: "Please go ahead, and thank you."

…………

When Jiang Ning returned to her room, she found Shen He there, dressed in a light white nightgown, his white hair flowing like a waterfall and slightly damp, as if he had just taken a bath. He sat quietly on the bed like a painting.

"where did you go?"

"I'm going to find the Immortal Xiao. Let's not talk about this now. I'm going to take a bath and we'll talk later."

Jiang Ning felt sticky all over.

Shen He pursed his lips and began to take off his clothes.

"What are you doing?"

Shen He said, "I haven't washed up either, let's go together."

Jiang Ning: “…”

You're lying, your hair is still wet.

But Jiang Ning was still happy to agree.

62. Abyss Mage: Go away, kill me (bounty pending)

The next day, the group continued their journey. On the way, Jiang Ning noticed that Hui Xin kept yawning, which he found rather strange.

"Sister Huixin, what's wrong with you?"
