Chapter 340 I am a puddle of vomit
Xu Ning opened the small green leaf bag tied with thin rope beside him, inside which were two rice balls made of rice.
Although the food was simple, it was clear that the person who made it put a lot of care into it; the seaweed was cut into neat squares, and the rice balls were shaped very firmly.
Adding a bowl of water in a rough porcelain bowl next to it, this should be a person's meal for a day.
Xu Ning spread the green leaves flat on the ground, broke the two rice balls apart and placed them on top, and was surprised to find that each one contained a piece of fish.
"This should suit your taste. Eat it quickly, or it might cause trouble if others see it."
The little fox Yae stood up, glanced at Xu Ning, separated the two pieces of fish meat from left to right, and finished the pile in the middle.
After the three little ones finished eating, Xu Ning gave them water to drink one by one.
After serving the three children, Xu Ning picked up the Dust Concealment Gourd again, pressed the golden amber at the dragon eye, and whispered, "Qingyi, come out and discuss something."
No one answered for a long time.
Helpless, Xu Ning twisted the gourd's mouth again.
Not moving.
It seems that on that day, Qingyi discovered that she had used a large amount of wine without permission, so she completely closed the gates between the inner and outer worlds.
Right now, let alone using the power of alcohol, even wanting to have a sip of alcohol to quench my thirst is just wishful thinking.
Of the three little ones resting on Xu Ning's lap, Master Ji and Qinzi were already fast asleep.
The little fox jumped into Xu Ning's arms, pressed its paw against the wine gourd in Xu Ning's hand, and asked, "Is there a person in here?"
Xu Ning nodded.
"Someone you know?"
Xu Ning wanted to nod, but considering the current timeline, he realized he didn't seem to know Qingyi at all, so he shook his head.
The little fox asked curiously, "If you don't recognize this person, how do you know their name? I heard you call out 'Qingyi'."
Xu Ning smiled wryly, "I don't know how to explain this to you... Hmm? Yes, you've been a huge help, baby."
Xu Ning suddenly realized he had made a mistake. He pressed his finger on the longan again and called out, "Ahem, um... True Lord Liuxia Wangyou, I am the envoy sent by the Emperor to Inazuma. Considering that we both belong to the Liyue lineage, could you please lend me a hand?"
As soon as those words were uttered, the gourd's mouth, which had been tightly closed, suddenly loosened.
Xu Ning pulled out the stopper, took a big gulp from the gourd, and felt the withered elemental power in his body being replenished, and his physical strength gradually increased.
"Ha, that was really refreshing," Xu Ning exclaimed, reeking of alcohol.
"I don't know who you are, and don't try to get any connection with me. You've tricked me into this mess, and I'm already doing you a favor by not killing you and even giving you wine."
A voice, sulking in green, came from inside the gourd.
Xu Ning felt that Qingyi's words made sense, after all, he was in the wrong first. If he were in the wrong, he would probably have come out and beaten people by now.
Xu Ning sent his divine sense into the gourd and surveyed the cave within.
Just like last time, the entire cave was empty. The young girl in green, who had become smaller because of the power of "feeding back" to the cave, was now wearing a small white garment that was about to slip off her shoulders. She was sitting by the lonely wine spring, changing her obviously oversized green robe.
"What are you looking at!" As if sensing Xu Ning's gaze, the woman in green raised the silver needle in her hand and pointed it fiercely at the air.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that I've lost most of my power. In this foreign land, I can freely communicate with the inner and outer worlds. With the spiritual energy of heaven and earth replenishing me, my power will be inexhaustible. I'll settle the score with you after I've altered my clothes."
Xu Ning withdrew his gaze, thinking to himself that he wanted to go back to Narukami Shrine to see if the sacred cherry tree he had planted in the future had worked. He couldn't do it without the help of Qingyi and Jiuquan.
Do I really have to say that?
Xu Ning looked around. The people were huddled in the cave, all worried about the future. With little food and water, most of them were dozing off against the walls, and no one noticed him.
"Cough cough," Xu Ning cleared his throat, placed his hand on the longan, and said softly, "I am just a pile of vomit."
The woman in green, who was altering her clothes inside, looked up in astonishment. "What did you say?"
Xu Ning, standing outside, blushed deeply. Had he been told that a single sentence would be enough to gain her trust? Was she just playing with him?
You tricked me into making a fool of myself; I'll make that little snake pay when I get back!
"I was focused on making clothes and didn't hear you. Say what you just said loudly again."
Suddenly, the woman in blue inside spoke up.
Xu Ning was truly amazed that there was actually a way.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the current Qingyi and the future Qingyi share the same wicked sense of humor, and coincidentally choose to make fun of themselves.
But it's worth a try. Even if you get scammed, you can always go back and ask Snake for your money back.
"I'm just a pile of vomit!" Xu Ning shouted.
Not only did the person in blue inside hear this clearly, but the little fox outside and some people who were nearby also heard it clearly. They all turned their heads at the same time and looked at the man who was blaming himself in front of the gourd.
Xu Ning lowered his head deeply and whispered into the room, "You heard me clearly this time, right? I will absolutely, positively not repeat myself again."
Qingyi stared blankly for a while, holding the needle and thread, then suddenly said, "I've unlocked all permissions. Come in and talk."
Xu Ning was overjoyed; he hadn't expected it to actually work.
However, having already made a fool of himself in front of so many people, his sudden disappearance now only makes things more shocking.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Ning decided to use his newly learned soul technique to separate a wisp of his shadow and enter the Dust Concealment Cave.
The moment the soul landed, it connected with the Thunder God's Heart that existed in the darkness, instantly filling the soul's body with thunder element.
Qingyi glanced at the figure filled with lightning in front of her, then went back to sewing her clothes.
Faced with a completely unfamiliar little snake, Xu Ning was a little unsure how to start the conversation, but eventually found a topic to discuss.
"Why this particular phrase? Do you...do you have some special feeling towards vomit?"
The woman in green said calmly, "You're overthinking it. I just saw an extremely large quantity once, and it left a deep impression on me."
"Um, let's not continue this topic..."
Xu Ning said somewhat uncomfortably, "You should hurry up and communicate with the inner and outer worlds. I plan to go back to Yingxiang Mountain tomorrow to take another look. If everything is as I expect, there should have been a fundamental change there, and perhaps victory is not far away."
Qingyi bit off the thread at the end of the needle in her hand, stood up, and tore off the oversized white undergarment.
Xu Ning hurriedly turned around.
Qingyi put on the altered blue cheongsam, then sat down and began altering the undergarment.
"I don't care what you do; I'm just a celestial spirit guarding the grotto."
