Chapter 831 Such a useful thing
Kong left with deep doubts.
He felt completely bewildered by Brother Xu's statement that "you are important, and everything else is important too."
But Brother Xu was right about at least one thing: in his heart, there was nothing more important than Ying.
Nata still had to go. Although it seemed like he hadn't received any news from Ying for a long time, and those members of the Abyss Order hadn't appeared in front of him for a long time either, he couldn't stop his travels for the time being.
Perhaps when you take the whole world into your eyes and walk the same path that Ying walked back then, you will naturally know where Ying is and what she is doing.
Xu Ning made a special trip to Baisong Town before leaving.
Since the serial disappearances of girls were solved and the people of Fontainebleau were pardoned for their original sins as human beings, Big Yellow and others who had been hiding in Autumn Equinox Mountain have long since come out to make their moves.
Moreover, thanks to information provided by Liyue spies, Da Huang and his group made prior contact with Beidou's fleet. Before Baisong Town was submerged by seawater mixed with the waters of the Fetal Sea, they contacted the Rose Guild to organize an evacuation and rescue in advance.
This act of kindness earned him a great deal of friendship from the Rose Guild, and in return, the Rose Guild helped Da Huang greatly facilitate the operation of Liyue's beverage business in Fontaine.
Today, the rebuilt Whitesong Town has become a distribution center for bulk goods from Liyue to Fontainebleau. Countless merchant ships bring countless riches. Neither the Rose Guild nor the residents of Whitesong Town have suffered from the flood; on the contrary, everyone has made a fortune.
After confirming that the beverage business had rapidly expanded in Fontainebleau and quickly become a new trend, Xu Ning felt at ease preparing to return to Liyue.
As for teleportation anchors, it seems there are some on the nearby Autumn Equinox Mountain.
With nothing else to do, Xu Ning leisurely went up Qiufen Mountain by himself.
"Hey, I didn't expect to find a lone fat sheep. Kid, stop right there and leave your valuables behind."
Xu Ning turned his head in disbelief. Ha, is Qiufen Mountain destined to be a den of bandits? Every time I come here, I run into one?
I remember when I first arrived in Fontainebleau, Charlotte and I encountered bandits. Now that we're about to leave, we'll run into them again.
What Xu Ning didn't know was that the reappearance of bandits here was because Liyue merchants like Da Huang had made a name for themselves in the nearby town of Baisong, which led some powerful figures in Fontaine to set their sights on this newly established trade route.
However, since the merchants from Liyue all seemed to be martial arts enthusiasts, many of them were skilled in martial arts, and the bodyguards they brought, who called themselves "Gu Hua," were too powerful, very few people could get the better of them.
Upon suddenly seeing a lone boy, several bandits with the idea of "making a big splash" naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation and commit a heist.
"Who gave you the audacity to rob us here?"
Xu Ning chuckled and took a sip of his drink. "Haven't you heard? At least five bandits on Qiufen Mountain have been turned into water, leaving no trace of their bodies!"
The group of strongmen exchanged glances and suddenly burst into laughter.
"That happened so long ago, and people are still using it to threaten us, haha!"
"Even the original seawater of the primordial fetal sea can't do anything to us now, and you actually think you can scare us with the idea of dissolution? Are you drunk?"
"But the gourd that kid has is quite nice; it looks like a valuable item. I've got my eye on it; I'll keep it to buy wine..."
A burly man holding a short gun walked over and reached out to take the Dust Concealment Gourd from Xu Ning's hand.
Xu Ning smiled slightly, "You have good taste, I'd like to offer you a toast."
Just as the burly man was about to say something smugly, Xu Ning flicked his wrist, and a stream of white wine was poured into the man's mouth.
"Ugh...you little brat...ahhh..."
The burly man was forced to swallow a mouthful of wine. Just as he was about to utter a harsh word, his entire body suddenly seemed to dissolve, turning into a pool of clear water that "splashed" onto the ground.
This startled the others. Some of the quick-witted ones turned and ran away instantly, while the others realized what was happening and hurriedly fled.
Didn't they say that the people of Fontainebleau no longer have to fear being dissolved by water?
What was that just now? A new type of poison?
But why is that kid drinking all the time and nothing's wrong?
Xu Ning watched the backs of the group but didn't start chasing after them. Instead, he slowly reached out his hand.
"I can tell that you all quite like my wine..."
Xu Ning drew a few lines in the air with his finger, and the people who were running suddenly lost their footing and fell forward.
However, before their bodies hit the ground, just like the burly man before them, their entire bodies turned into clear water, which spilled onto the ground and slowly seeped into the soil.
The Spirit Dew, a tool used by the Remurians to escape their frail bodies, is surprisingly convenient when used to kill.
The wine poured into the big man's mouth was naturally mixed with spiritual dew.
The deaths of those who escaped were caused by Xu Ning using the technique of refining spiritual dew to extract his own wine from their bodies into spiritual dew.
After all, his drinks were made with pure water from Ergolia.
Linglu is pure water that has been purified.
"I already asked you to bring it to me. It's such a waste to have such a useful thing in your hands."
Xu Ning gave Remus a light laugh, walked to the teleportation anchor point, tapped it lightly, and then disappeared.
The familiar shade of the trees descended from above, and Xu Ning instinctively shifted to the side to prevent someone from suddenly grabbing his arm.
"Hehe, are you on guard against Master Hu? She seems to be quite busy lately, so she probably doesn't have time to stake out here for you."
Xu Ning turned to look at Ye Lan, who was surprisingly not disguised, and asked, "Why are you here this time? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Yelan nodded. "It's just a small matter. Anyone could have handled it, but since you're the one who started it, I'll have to trouble you to walk the road into Liyue again... Oh, and by the way, remember to release all those private soldiers you've been raising."
What I caused? And the "private army" they kept—what "private army"?
Xu Ning's heart skipped a beat. "You mean those metal puppets controlled by the shattered spirits of the town? When did they become my private soldiers? Fine, private soldiers it is. But why, as soon as I returned, did I release them to parade around in the city?"
Ye Lan smiled and explained.
Xu Ning then realized that his battle at the entrance of the Fontaine Opera House had been recorded by someone with the latest video equipment.
As for which "person with ulterior motives" it was, Xu Ning didn't expose them to their face.
These images were eventually brought back to Liyue and used as teaching materials to motivate the Thousand Rock Army and encourage them to train harder, which was truly beyond Xu Ning's expectations.
