Chapter 566 Possible Demons and Evil Spirits
Chapter 566 Possible Demons and Evil Spirits
What's strange is that she approached him first, but only said a few inexplicable words before leaving.
This woman was very beautiful, with hair and eyes as blue as a clear spring, making her someone you wouldn't easily forget once you saw her.
Seeing that she was dressed in Fontainebleau attire, Xu Ning assumed that she was a member of a Fontainebleau trade delegation who happened to have stumbled upon such a grand ceremony at the stone gate and had deliberately lingered there to enjoy the sights.
Surprisingly, she almost never spoke to anyone, nor did she ever gather with anyone or eat with anyone. She always kept to herself. However, she wasn't exactly eccentric, so Xu Ning only glanced at her a couple of times before paying no more attention.
However, on the very first day of the "Poetry Friendship Meeting between the Two Countries," as Xu Ning was drinking while leaning against the stone steps, the woman suddenly walked over and said, "There is something about you that I am very familiar with."
Xu Ning looked himself up and down speechlessly, then shook his head firmly. "No, absolutely not. I've never even met you, let alone had any contact with you. There shouldn't be anything you're familiar with."
Oh my god, don't talk nonsense! You just got back, don't start spreading bad rumors right away.
The woman stared at Xu Ning with a slight frown and said, "We have indeed never met or had any contact, but the sense of familiarity is undeniable. It's a pity that the power that is so similar to yours was given away as a gift, and I have no way to show it to you."
After saying that, the woman left. Xu Ning was a little confused by what she said, but when he tried to chase after her to ask her, he had no idea where she had gone.
She said she had come into contact with a power similar to her own, and even gave it away as a gift?
What power could I possibly have that would make others covet me? It's simply that since I obtained the Dust Concealment Gourd, I've gained a unique new power on this continent.
The power of the element of alcohol.
This strange woman said that she felt very familiar with this elemental power, which she had never even heard of before.
Moreover, she could easily distinguish the subtle differences between the drinks on the surrounding tables that were part of the event, whether they originated in Mondstadt or were distributed in Liyue. She only needed to taste a little of each one.
"Brother Xu, I've noticed you've been looking at that blue-haired woman from Fontainebleau with a restless expression these past two days. You don't mean to have any designs on her, do you?"
Xu Ning reached out a finger to tap Xing Qiu on the head, to teach this guy a lesson for his habit of talking nonsense and lying, but Xing Qiu was prepared and dodged it with a grin.
"What nonsense about being restless! Where have you all been these past two days? I saw you helping out here a few days ago, but I haven't been able to find a trace of you these past two days."
Xu Ning took a sip of his drink and asked casually.
Upon hearing this, both of the guys opposite raised an eyebrow, and Xingqiu gestured for Chongyun to speak.
“Brother Xu, you know about my health problems. Generally speaking, if it is a demon or evil creature, it will run away long ago as soon as it senses my arrival. I haven’t seen a real demon or evil creature in a long time.”
Xu Ning was very clear about this. Chongyun's "Pure Yang Body" was simply the nemesis of all kinds of dark and evil spirits. Wherever he was, no foolish demon would dare to come near him...
Just as he thought of this, Xu Ning paused, his wine gourd still. "You mean you saw demons and monsters near this stone gate?"
Chongyun scratched his head. "I can't say for sure if it's a demon or something. After all, it looks very strange, but it's definitely not human. And it doesn't seem to be afraid of my pure yang body. Although I chased after it, I couldn't catch up. It suddenly disappeared by the river and I never found it again."
It's neither a demon nor a human, so what is it?
Thinking of that strange woman, Xu Ning felt more and more that something was going to happen at this banquet.
