Chapter 147 Miss Lisa's Gift
"Well, to me, it reads smoothly and with great expression."
Xu Ning coughed awkwardly behind Cole and reminded her, "But I'm not sure if Amber, with her level of understanding, can comprehend certain words and word choices. How about we ask Miss Lisa to write it down for us? You dictate it, and she can write it down according to Mondstadt's writing style?"
Upon hearing Xu Ning's words, the Sumeru guest with the jackal head walked over with some curiosity.
One glance and his brows furrowed deeply.
"So many circles are..."
Xu Ning was furious. "Do you have to be so blunt about things like this?!"
I don't care if you happily attack the scholars of the Academy, but if you dare to attack this little scholar again, believe me, I'll rip your dog hood off.
And isn't your talent a "silent gift"?
Did your "silence" get eaten by the dog?
Fortunately, the guest saw Xu Ning's angry glare, scratched his cheek with a finger, shut his mouth, and walked away.
Cole stood up, blushing, crumpled the manuscript in her hand into a ball, and said apologetically to Miss Lisa, "Thank you for your help, Miss Administrator."
Lisa smiled and said, "The little guy is so polite, of course I have to help him with this."
After leaving the letter for Amber in the library, Cole bid farewell to Xu Ning once again and embarked on the road to Sumeru with the Jackal-headed Sumeru guest.
Watching Ke Lai's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Xu Ning couldn't help but sigh with regret.
"Why do you so easily part from me? How many full moons can we reunite in a year?"
Ever since saying goodbye to Ningguang last time, Xu Ning has grown to hate the feeling of parting more and more.
"Oh my, the little drunkard is actually a very talented poet! When that line 'What can dispel sorrow? Only condensed light' reached Mondstadt, I thought you had deliberately found some master to write it for you."
Lisa chuckled and teased Xu Ning, saying, "Alright, that little guy won't change his mind no matter what. Oh, right, I remember saying that if you can help Qin with her work, I'll give you a little gift!"
"Want it? If you do, come with me!"
After Lisa finished speaking with a smile, she turned and walked towards the Mondstadt Library.
Xu Ning walked behind Lisa, looking at the graceful and beautiful woman in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the amazing charm of the "witch".
If this beautiful woman, whose every inch of her body exudes an alluring fragrance, didn't just laze around in the library, but instead loved to bewitch everyone in Mondstadt, she alone could probably turn Mondstadt upside down into the Fruclaw Lake.
When Lisa suddenly stopped, Xu Ning, who was admiring her from behind, almost lost his footing and bumped into her back.
"Oh, you're daydreaming? Are you thinking about what little gift your sister will give you?"
Xu Ning smiled sheepishly, "To be honest, I'm actually looking forward to it!"
Lisa smiled, tapping her chin.
"Oh dear, this is quite a problem. I was just saying it casually at first, but you did a great job this time, little drunkard. So I'll give you a copy of 'Teyvat Travel Guide,' which will be very helpful for someone who loves to travel."
Xu Ning smiled wryly. Was it a travelogue written by that great demon lady?
I remember it mentioned that Hilichurls were to be captured to create perpetual motion machines in spherical rotating cages, and that Hilichurls who had lost their strength or aged were to be sent to the Magic Workshop to be processed into feed, which would then be fed to the strong Hilichurls so that they would work hard to generate kinetic energy indefinitely.
It's a masterpiece that would leave slave owners speechless and capitalists in tears.
If this were translated and shown to Ying, who is determined to restore her country...
Tsk tsk, Xu Ning shook his head; he couldn't even imagine the scene.
"Hmm? It seems you're not entirely satisfied. Fortunately, I'm quite knowledgeable myself, so how about books, knowledge, potions, or of course, a date with me? I personally recommend the last one."
Lisa smiled and crossed her legs, sitting on the long table in the library, watching Xu Ning's expression with great interest, waiting for his answer.
Xu Ning first ruled out the fourth option.
I'm very interested, but thank you.
I don't want to have Liyue's spies draw a picture of "Xu Ning meeting a beauty under the moonlight" and send it to Lord Tianquan, who is staying in his hometown.
Xu Ning's gaze involuntarily drifted toward the locked door of the innermost room in the library.
Lisa immediately noticed and said with a smile, "The books in the forbidden section are not included here. This is for your own good. Some knowledge may come at a price you can't afford."
Xu Ning sighed in disappointment, then suddenly remembered something.
"Could I please have a dose of cold resistance potion?"
A flicker of doubt crossed Lisa's eyes, but she quickly smiled and said, "It's not impossible. But you're not planning to go and cause trouble for Kaeya after you get it, are you? I heard from Amber that you two had some unpleasantness during this mission."
Xu Ning immediately thought of the fight with Kaiya under the windmill that night, and then held up two fingers to Lisa, "Then I'll take two portions."
Lisa laughed happily.
"I promised a small gift, and that's what I got. But you didn't choose the date option, which really makes me sad."
“Let’s go. Since we’re going to make a cold-resistance potion, we need to get some Ice Mist Flowers as materials. Also, when I was thinking of giving you the Teyvat Travel Guide earlier, I flipped through the list and accidentally discovered that several books are overdue. It’s really… infuriating.”
"You wouldn't mind going with your sister to collect these books, would you?"
Miss Lisa, who was speaking with her arms crossed, still had a cheerful and smiling demeanor, but Xu Ning clearly felt that the concentration of lightning element around him seemed to have increased significantly all of a sudden. The evidence was that all the hair on his body seemed to stand up straight.
"No problem, let's get going!"
Lisa glanced at the list she had copied down. "Hmm, the first stop is... 'Glory Wind'?"
The Wind of Glory is located on the central avenue of Mondstadt.
The shop owner, Marjorie, is a cheerful and eloquent beauty.
The shop mainly sells strange souvenirs, seemingly designed to rip off... and make money off foreign tourists.
Extremely powerful backing.
When Xu Ning and Miss Lisa arrived at the souvenir shop, Marjorie was sitting behind the counter fiddling with some strange ornaments.
Upon seeing someone enter, Marjorie immediately flashed a smile.
"Welcome! Every treasure here is unique... Oh, Miss Lisa."
Lisa greeted her with a smile, "Miss Marjorie, have you had any interesting items lately?"
Xu Ning couldn't help but glance at Lisa. In the TV dramas of his previous life, if a young girl who was shopping with a boy asked this question, it meant that the boy was about to have a major hemorrhage.
