Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Chapter 503 Big Watermelons Want to Be Sweet

Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that another unexpected event had occurred.

It turns out that killing a great sage was nothing serious.

"Good job, but don't do it again this time, or we'll have to start all over again. By the way, did Nel cry?"

Kong said embarrassedly, "I cried. I don't think using a sword is very good. Your fighting style is cleaner and more efficient, and it doesn't dirty the stage. Next time, I can try generating a desolate star next to my head..."

Xu Ning quickly stopped Kong from speaking, "I'm not discussing this with you to teach you this kind of skill."

“We are most likely in a dream from which we will never wake up. Although I am not tired yet, Dina Zede’s condition is not good. I am afraid that if we go through the cycle a few more times, it will cause irreversible damage to her. So we need to break this deadlock quickly.”

Kong nodded and said, "I'll do whatever you say, brother."

"Your words are enough."

After Xu Ning reunited with Kong and Dina Zede, he found another excuse to leave the group and go to retrieve Dina Zede's notebook.

This time it went very smoothly. After getting the notebook, Xu Ning put it in his pocket. After leaving the house, he thought for a moment and then knocked on the door next door.

"The Flower Goddess Festival at the Grand Bazaar is much more fun than that older woman's!"

"Get out!" came another angry roar from inside.

Xu Ning chuckled as he walked toward the Grand Bazaar.

"Brother, that person seems to have taken something from the young lady of the Huma family's room. Should we snatch it and take a look?"

The gilded caravan had just arrived at the inn when the leader saw the person his underling was pointing at and a chill suddenly ran down his spine.

"Looks like we're too late and missed out. You're free to do as you please now. Remember, don't cause any trouble."

“Boss, you’re not usually this cowardly…” The deputy was just wondering why his boss had suddenly softened when he got slapped on the head.

The eldest brother pointed at the wine gourd Xu Ning was carrying and said angrily, "Look at that before you talk to me."

The underlings took a closer look and shuddered in unison; some of the weaker-willed ones even groaned out loud.

Although no one knows why, no one wants to get close to that thing right now.

When Xu Ning arrived at the entrance of the post station, he naturally saw this group of people.

Seeing that they weren't coming over, I was quite surprised. Then I suddenly heard someone groaning inside, and I couldn't help but feel disgusted and said, "Don't make that noise in broad daylight. Don't you guys have any urge to do anything?"

The leader of the group forced a smile and directed his underlings to make way for the inn's door. "No, please."

Xu Ning tossed the wine gourd in his hand a couple of times, wanting to find a reason to knock on their door again.

After all, based on current observations, these people are showing signs of fatigue that even surpass those of Dina Zede.

If I do it two more times, they should become disoriented, and then a different scene might unfold, or even a new breakthrough might emerge.

Of course, these people may also experience a complete loss of consciousness, and their physical selves may become demented, go insane, or die.

However, these people brought this upon themselves, and Xu Ning naturally wouldn't pity them.

But seeing them huddled together, looking pitiful and waiting for him to leave, Xu Ning felt a little reluctant to do it.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Xu Ning cursed angrily, but ultimately didn't attack them again, and ran smoothly all the way to the Grand Bazaar.

"You see, they still have the potential to change."

Nasita said with a grin in Xu Ning's mind, she had naturally sensed Xu Ning's hesitation just now.

Xu Ning brandished his gourd and said defiantly, "They just fawn over the strong and bully the weak. I don't believe they'll change."

"We'll see how it goes then."

Xu Ning ignored Nasita and rushed into the Grand Bazaar. He found Kong and Paimon, gave Kong some of the large cloth bag and colorful rope he had bought from the woven goods vendor, and then pointed to the surrounding entrances.

“There are three entrances to the Grand Bazaar. We don’t know which entrance the Great Sage will come in from. Kong and I will guard the passageways on both sides of the theater, as this is the closest to the Zubair Theater, in case the Great Sage suddenly enters and disrupts the performance.”

"Paimon, go to the furthest entrance. There's a candy stand right next to it. Take all this Mora and eat as much as you want. Keep an eye on that place. If the Great Sage appears from there, come and notify us immediately."

Kong glanced worriedly at Mora, who was clutching in Paimon's hand. "Paimon, eat less sugar, or you'll get as fat as a ball."

“Brother, I know we need to keep an eye on the Great Sage, but what are we going to do with these bags and ropes?”

Xu Ning laughed and said, "Since we can't kill that old bastard, we have no choice but to use this."

Kong suddenly realized what was happening, gave Xu Ning a thumbs up, and went to ambush him at a door.

Xu Ning walked to the other side, spread the bag on the ground, sat on it, drank his wine, and glanced at the rather mediocre acrobatic performance on stage.

Nilu had already put on all her costume for the Dance of the Flower Goddess. The little flower girl looked gorgeous and sacred against the backdrop of gold ornaments. She stood in the corner of the stage with her eyes gently closed, waiting for the next person to go on stage.

"Hey, so you were hiding here. Dina Zede was just wondering where you and Kong ran off to. The most important Flower Goddess Dance is coming up soon, so you two mustn't miss it..."

As Dixia walked towards Xu Ning, she naturally noticed Kong, who was also guarding the gate on the other side, just like Xu Ning. She asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Xu Ning originally wanted to explain to her, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Paimon flying quickly towards them. She seemed unable to speak because her mouth was full of candy, but judging from her flailing hands, Xu Ning roughly guessed that the Great Sage had come in from her direction.

"arrive!"

Xu Ning waved his hand towards the empty space, and the two of them almost simultaneously grabbed the sacks and colorful ropes and ran in the direction Paimon had indicated.

The great sage and the female scholar beside him were very easy to identify.

Although some scholars from the Faith Institute were drawn by the lively atmosphere of the Flower Goddess Festival or the Grand Bazaar, they all changed into casual clothes before coming here, since it was an open secret that the Faith Institute disliked this event.

This made the two people, dressed in formal church attire, stand out in the crowd.

"Hmph... Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival, you should just celebrate the birth of your deity..."

Great Sage Azar had only managed to finish half of his sentence when Xu Ning pounced on him, grabbed him, and dragged him into the bushes behind the fruit stand.

Kong followed without hesitation, dragging the female scholar inside as well.

The fruit vendor who was closest didn't even see what happened clearly. He just felt that someone seemed to have been dragged into the bushes and was about to turn around to check.

Paimon had already flown over and handed him a golden Mora. "Watermelon, big one, and sweet one!"
