Chapter 570 Transforming All Things into Fine Wine
"Putting aside the fact that you bestowed a blessing upon the little one with a power that you yourself don't understand, this cat has been battling with this wonderful physique for many years. If you see her later, don't mention that you blessed her or anything like that, or she might bite or scratch you."
Seeing that Carlyle had no idea how serious the consequences of her casual blessing were, Xu Ning couldn't help but offer a word of advice.
After all, he didn't think that after the little cat learned that her special physique came from the pure water spirit in front of her, she would still be able to run back to the village with a smile to help her rekindle an unfinished romance, or that she would be lucky if she didn't call her hunter father, who was known as a sharpshooter, to slaughter people.
When the groups were formed yesterday, it seemed that Diona was in a group with Chongyun, Mika, and Kong.
Xu Ning looked around, then pointed to a hillside in the distance and said, "Although they will definitely return to the venue, it would be a waste of too much time to just go back and wait. As a last resort, let's go over there and look for them..."
"Why did you choose that place?" Carly looked around, unable to understand why Xu Ning had chosen it, but judging from his confident demeanor, it didn't seem like he had chosen it casually.
“I know Chongyun well. When he was with Xingqiu, I could tell that he never liked to take the lead in making decisions. To put it bluntly, he prefers to be passive. Mika is shy, and he’s probably just as shy as Chongyun. As for Kong, he’s practically become that little white-haired guy’s personal mount. So, out of the four and a half people, the one with the most opinions is probably the cat.”
Xu Ning took a sip of wine and laughed, "She has absolutely no interest in poetry and literature. Her purpose in coming here is to find some strange ingredients that Mondstadt doesn't have and to mix the worst-tasting wine. In Liyue, there is one ingredient that she would definitely try, and I happen to know that there are many wild ones on that hillside."
Jueyun Jiaojiao.
Spicy spices, a specialty of Liyue, are an indispensable ingredient in the meals of many people in Liyue. At least Xu Ning can easily name more than eight special dishes that use Jueyun Chili.
However, that pure spiciness is hard to match with something like wine, and Xu Ning would be surprised if Diona didn't think of trying it.
As the two walked up the low slope, they saw Diona's group of crew members gathered around watching her mix drinks.
Diona indeed squeezed the juice from the Jueyun Pepper and added it to the cocktail shaker, along with a bead that emitted a strange light.
They even added four tender frog legs, I wonder which unlucky frog ran into the cat's paw.
"Here, have a taste. You said you couldn't drink alcohol, so I deliberately didn't add any alcohol and used slime gel. And you... Great Sage, have a taste too."
Upon hearing Diona's words, Xu Ning noticed that there was also a Great Sage Subduing Demons in the crowd. He couldn't help but sigh that Paimon had been eating a lot lately and had grown taller, almost blocking the view of this immortal.
She reached out and pulled Caryl, who was walking forward, "Don't go over there yet, there's something fun to see."
Even Mika couldn't help but look at Diona's strange drink with a questioning expression, "Can this be drunk?" But Xiao didn't hesitate for a second before taking the cup and drinking it.
This made Chongyun, who was holding a wine glass and wanted to refuse, immediately hesitate.
"This guy saw others drinking it, so he was definitely too embarrassed to refuse. But he didn't realize that our Great Sage had already tasted the original 'Dream,' and frog legs and loach jade are nothing compared to that..."
Xu Ning watched as Chong Yun drank the beverage mixed with Jueyun pepper juice, then turned to Kalilu and smiled, "Let's go, we should sit in the front row for the best show."
Paimon, with his sharp eyes, saw Xu Ning approaching and waved from afar, "Xu Ning, we're over here."
However, his shout was immediately drowned out by an even louder roar.
"It's so delicious!"
Chongyun's big eyes seemed to sparkle with stars as she stepped forward and grabbed the cat's hands. "How did you do that? Although it tastes like Jueyun pepper, it's completely different from Xiangling's cooking and Xingqiu's prank drink..."
"...It's refreshing on the palate, with only a slight tingling sensation. The aroma of the Jueyun chili peppers and the smooth, non-greasy texture of the frog leg are perfectly combined. Not to mention the slime, I never knew that slime condensate could taste like the fragrance of green grass and clear spring water. The power of nature is incredible..."
The cat, its hands gripped, leaned back, its face filled with despair. "Failed again!"
The enthusiastic praise and the expressions of despair and disappointment were quite amusing, and the people surrounding them couldn't help but chuckle.
"Why does it seem like Chongyun has suddenly become more talkative?"
Paimon had just been shouting "Slimes are the most delicious!" with Chongyun, but now he realized something was wrong.
"Uh, Sora, have you noticed that Chongyun's words have suddenly become much more..."
"Of course there are more."
Xu Ning picked up the thread, "After all, this person is a rare 'pure yang body' in the entire Teyvat. He can't handle chili peppers or alcohol, and he even has to be careful when eating very hot food."
At this moment, Chongyun was completely unaware that he had become the center of attention. He was just jumping around Diona with his eyes sparkling, shouting, "Another one! Diona, another one..."
Seeing that Diona's tail fur was almost standing on end, Xu Ning quickly suggested to prevent Chongyun from getting bitten, "Make him another drink, with more ice, and it would be best to add some refreshing herbs..."
“Ice cubes… I can do it…” Mika raised a hand to indicate.
“I also have a few Pure Heart flowers here…” Carlyle stepped forward, took out a few translucent white flowers, and handed them over.
Xiao looked at the three people standing together, then turned to Xu Ning and said, "All three... are very special... This is the one Chongyun mentioned..."
Xu Ning nodded.
"Yes, she is very honest about her identity and has no ill intentions towards Liyue. However, she has some unresolved ties in Mondstadt, which is why I brought her here to find people in Mondstadt."
Hearing that it was harmless to Liyue, Xiao's usually stern expression relaxed somewhat. "I'm relieved to have you here. However, that child has very peculiar marks on him, which seem to originate from the same source as your power..."
Xu Ning laughed in surprise, "The power to turn all things into fine wine? From the same source as me? How is that possible? Xiao, you don't know, her physique was given to her by that elf Kaliru..."
At this point, Xu Ning suddenly remembered what Carlyle had said: even she herself didn't know where she got this power from.
