Chapter 888 When Stars Fall from the Sky
"Should I intercept him halfway?"
It was Shen He who spoke. Upon hearing that Kong was doing something contrary to Xu Ning's plan, he quickly finished the Qingxin porridge in his bowl and was about to go back to his room to get the "Disaster Relief" (a type of porridge).
Ying, who was eating chicken and mushroom skewers, tensed up instantly upon hearing this. Seeing Ying's expression, Xu Ning reached out and pulled Shen He back to his seat.
"It's alright, it won't cause any problems."
Xu Ning served Shen He another bowl of porridge and sighed, "But since I made up that lie about the meteorite using Xing Xiao's name, I have to see it come true. Otherwise, everyone will think I'm bluffing and lying, which will cause obstacles to the implementation of the plan."
"What's the trouble? If it were me, I would have taken action as soon as I got those two Hearts of God. Why go through all this trouble? In the end, the result is the same: death."
Holding a small spoon, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun took a sip of soup and said slowly.
Xu Ning's face immediately darkened.
Only you could say something like that, "You don't treat people like human beings." When I saw Shen He hitting someone before, I felt that the root of the problem must be with you, and now it's confirmed.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself. You guys take your time eating. I'm heading home now, lest my brother has all six of his seals on him and I haven't made any preparations here."
However, when Xu Ning actually traveled day and night back to Liyue, he realized that he had worried too much.
The first thing Xu Ning saw upon entering the Qunyu Pavilion was a... defense map on the most prominent wall.
The locations marked above clearly indicate that the Thousand Rock Army is guarding the main transportation routes for various nations entering Liyue.
"I was thinking about how to remind you, but I didn't expect you to have made arrangements in advance. It seems you had a general idea of what I wanted to do."
Xu Ning walked behind Ning Guang and gently embraced her.
Ningguang chuckled softly, "There's an old saying in Liyue: 'He who steals a hook is executed, he who steals a kingdom becomes a king.' And my favorite man actually wants to steal a world. I really don't know whether to be proud of you or terrified..."
"Be proud of me today, for I am about to break free from this predetermined cage of fate and give everyone the opportunity to take a new step. Let fear remain for the unknown tomorrow."
Ningguang turned around, looked at Xu Ning, and smiled, "It feels like since you regained your memories, you've started talking more and more like a charlatan."
Xu Ning chuckled, “It was my fault for being detached from the masses. But these defenses are actually useless. If someone really wants to target me because of what I did, they definitely won’t travel all the way along the main road. The most likely scenario is that they will take my good brother’s Dust Song Pot and come out from the nearest teleportation point to carry out a decapitation operation.”
Ningguang's gentle gaze held a hint of chilling ruthlessness. "You mean they'll suddenly emerge from some teleportation point and attack you? If that's the case, you're underestimating Yelan's 'web.' After all, this is Liyue under our control."
Xu Ning naturally knew Ningguang's temper. If anyone dared to harm her, she would definitely unleash all the power of Liyue to destroy any enemy that came, even if the other party was a god.
However, having spent the past few years traveling around, I have had in-depth contact with many big shots in Teyvat. It would be difficult to gather a force capable of stopping or killing me in a short period of time, as I still have some influence in Teyvat.
Since my brother isn't up to par, I'll make the first move.
"How are the arrangements for shipping alcoholic beverages to various countries going?"
Ningguang pointed to another wall, "The entire Liyue Harbor is now in motion. Inspired by our substantial subsidies that exceed transportation costs, almost all merchants have started to engage in the business of transporting alcohol. We have also contacted delegations from various countries, including Winter, who have all sent their own caravans. It can be said that with such a generous reward, as long as you have a sufficient supply of alcohol, we can basically ensure that everyone in Teyvat is drinking your alcohol in no time."
Xu Ning nodded. “Transportation is one aspect. We have the Golden House at our disposal, so we can continuously distribute Mora without worrying about short-term inflation. However, getting people to cooperate in achieving the goal of everyone drinking is another problem. It seems that it is really necessary to add fuel to the fire.”
Ningguang understood Xu Ning's meaning.
Xu Ning spread fears about the abyss and destruction in Nata so that everyone would drink his wine. But before the fear arrives, there will always be people who have doubts, which slows down the progress.
If Xu Ning can turn this fear into reality, then there will be no need to worry anymore, and countries will naturally cooperate in implementing drinking policies.
Moreover, with external troubles looming, the internal problems caused by emptiness will be offset accordingly.
"Then let's go all out."
The scenery of Tianheng Mountain in autumn is absolutely stunning.
Beidou and her fleet have gone on a long voyage to deliver wine, while Xu Ning, accompanied only by Ningguang, has walked to the highest point here and is gazing into the distance.
“The winds in Mondstadt are the easiest to control, and I can hear them more clearly. Let’s start our first stop in Springvale, Mondstadt.”
Xu Ning closed his eyes slightly, his whole body in a state of extreme relaxation, as if he had turned into a breeze. He seemed to still be standing there, but it was as if he had melted into the wind and could disappear at any moment.
When this state reached its peak, Xu Ning suddenly raised his left hand without warning, as if pressing down on a bull's head in mid-air, and slowly and laboriously pressed it down.
Ningguang didn't look at Xu Ning's actions.
From the moment Xu Ning uttered the name "Qingquan Town," her gaze was already fixed on that distant direction.
As Xu Ning pressed down with his palm, a loud noise suddenly rang out in the distant sky, like thunder in a clear day, and could be heard throughout the world.
The residents of Mondstadt felt this especially deeply.
People standing outdoors all looked up at the sky. Above the clear blue sky, a huge line of fire was forming, and the direction the line of fire was pointing was "Qingquan Town".
"It's a meteorite...a meteorite fell from the sky!" someone suddenly shouted.
Xu Ning's words in Nata had already spread throughout Teyvat along with the boatloads of free drinks.
Many people don't really take it seriously, because when disaster hasn't happened yet, a peaceful life always gives people the illusion that it will continue like this forever.
Now, this meteorite falling from the sky has not only torn apart the heavens, but also shattered the false sense of security in their hearts.
And this is just the beginning.
In Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru... almost everywhere, the deafening roar echoed from the distant horizon, and the fiery lines in the sky, like blooming flowers, bent their stems towards the earth.
