Chapter 277 Now there are 97.
After Xu Ning and Qingyi emerged from the Hidden Cave, Wendy, who had been eagerly waiting outside, couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment upon seeing the two unharmed.
"Have you been idle for too long lately? Can't wait to find some fun to do?"
Xu Ning glared at the lazybones with a stern face.
After traveling to three countries, Xu Ning had almost forgotten his original intention in raising this wind god.
In the ability to squander one's value by slacking off, Barbatos, the wind god, is definitely beyond the level of a demon god.
"Hey, I haven't been idle. I've been working on a new poem, and it includes you! I'll sing it for you another day!"
Wendy smiled, her eyes narrowed, a smile that held a hint of something indescribable.
Xu Ning shook his head helplessly. He had no desire to listen to Wendy's so-called heroic hymns buried in the history of Teyvat.
Walking up to Kano Nana, Xu Ning lifted the hood of the little girl she was holding in her arms and took a look.
The little girl, Zaoyou, was fast asleep, still slightly tipsy.
Kano Nana, holding Hayazu, took a step back warily.
According to the information gathered during the final episode, this Liyue master seems to have a strange obsession with pretty lolis.
Xu Ning didn't mind Kano Nana's wariness. He raised his nose and sniffed slightly, then smiled and said, "She's drinking 'Thousand Winds,' the wine that suits her best! But to get this drunk from just a little 'Thousand Winds,' she needs to practice!"
"I failed to manage my subordinates properly, and it's my fault that Zaoyou got so drunk."
Xu Ning said apologetically to Kano Nana, "How about this, I'll go inside and get two jars of the best wine as an apology..."
Kano Nana immediately interrupted Xu Ning decisively, "Absolutely not!"
Such a strong and resolute tone made Xu Ning, who had always been successful in delivering wine, feel somewhat embarrassed.
Xu Ning smiled and cupped his hands in thanks to the two shrine maidens who had greeted him. “Thank you both for your hospitality today. Having seen the Narukami Shrine, I should now head to Inazuma Castle to meet Lord Raiden. Farewell for now. If I have the time in the future, I will definitely come again.”
After Xu Ning finished speaking, he waved to Master Ji, who was squatting to the side, to follow him, and then prepared to turn around and walk down the mountain.
"Hey……"
Before Yingmei Daocheng could speak, Xu Ning turned to leave, and she hurriedly exclaimed "Hey!"
The pink fox in her arms was even faster, leaping onto Xu Ning's head and settling down peacefully.
Xu Ning's entire body suddenly stiffened.
From the moment he left, he tried his best to dodge the question, hoping to leave this place as soon as possible.
Who would have thought that this little fox, who was risking her life, would actually want to follow her? By the way, as the priest of Narukami Shrine, do you really have that much free time?
Moreover, the position where the little fox is now lying is exactly the same as the strange memory he just experienced.
Could it be that this Lord Yaezōji, like himself, has the same experiences and memories of Inazuma, the one whose sacred cherry tree does not exist?
When Inashiro Hotaru looked at the little fox nestled on Xu Ning's head, it was as if she had put a pink hat on Xu Ning, which was inexplicably strange and funny.
Suppressing her laughter, Inashiro Hotaru walked up to Xu Ning, took out a round lens from her pocket, and carefully handed it to him.
"It is a great honor for you to visit Narukami Shrine and to use your Liyue Sage Arts to help Kaguya Kofuku. Narukami Shrine will remember your help."
"The comb I just saw in your hand seems to be an item that Lord Foxichai once used. Coincidentally, I also have a mirror artifact that Lord Foxichai used, called the 'Remembrance Mirror.' It is said that it can see the thoughts left behind on earth, so I will give it to you as a gift in return!"
Xu Ning took the lens that Daocheng Yingmei handed over and looked at the shimmering halo on it, thinking to himself, "Such a valuable thing is just given to me so casually."
Now that I have the keepsake mirror and the talisman, will the next thing be the request from the Divine Sakura Great Exorcism?
Was I chosen by Yae no Miko to be someone who does all the work for free?
However, after giving away the commemorative mirror, Inashiro Hotaru breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Ning with a smile, but did not make any requests as Xu Ning had guessed.
"Please convey my regards to Lady Kuji and thank her for her gift."
Xu Ning thanked Inashiro Hotaru again, then turned and walked down towards the bottom of the shrine.
Master Ji did a somersault on the ground, then turned into smoke and disappeared with a "poof," reappearing on Xu Ning's right shoulder.
Except for the black cat-shaped pendant on his left shoulder, Xu Ning is now exactly in the fighting stance from that dark memory.
Xu Ning sighed.
If Inazuma was not destroyed, then the memories I just experienced should be like an absurd dream. Whether it was an experience or an encounter, it should return to nothingness after I wake up.
It seems like everyone has left a memory.
Xu Ning never wanted to waste time dwelling on things he couldn't understand. He reached out and pulled Master Ji off his shoulder, tossing him into the Dust-Hidden Cave to play with Qingyi. He then hugged the eight-fold little fox on his head.
"Speaking of which, is it really alright for Lord Miyaji to come with me to Inazuma Castle looking like this?"
Xu Ning asked the little fox in his arms.
The little fox lazily wagged its tail and suddenly spoke in a charming voice.
"Of course there's a problem. My old friend hasn't seen me in ages. If we were to bump into each other by accident, he'd be overjoyed and weep with happiness. But you should be careful with that general; he's a stubborn fellow."
Xu Ning nodded emphatically, indicating that he would pay extra attention to this.
After descending the mountain from the shadows, when Xu Ning passed by the Kamisato Residence again, he did not go in to visit it again. Instead, he went straight down the mountain and headed directly towards Inazuma Castle.
When passing by the White Fox Wilderness, Xu Ning casually set up another anchor point.
I opened the teleportation point to Narukami Shrine on the mountain when I went down, so I can teleport there anytime I want to go next time.
However, when they were setting up anchor, Xu Ning suddenly thought of Ying and wondered what that girl was doing.
I remember she said last time that she wanted to do something in the Abyss of Laminaria. I hope she can restrain herself and not provoke any powerful figures she shouldn't mess with.
After traveling for most of the day, Xu Ning finally arrived at Daozu City.
The first thing to do upon entering Inazuma is naturally to pay homage to the statue with a thousand hands and a hundred eyes.
"Wow, what a grand gesture. I never knew that gathering eighty or ninety Eyes of God together would be so spectacular."
"It's not eighty or ninety, it's ninety-six."
A voice suddenly came from behind him. Xu Ning turned around and saw Kujo Sara standing straight behind him, speaking.
"There are ninety-seven now."
