Chapter 470 A Beautiful Boy with Beast Ears and a Fox Tail
Xu Ning chuckled and patted Kong on the shoulder, “Don’t worry too much. We’ve already uncovered so many mysteries in the Abyss of Layered Rocks, one more won’t make a difference.”
Kong nodded. "Actually, when Ke Lai's master was treating me, he asked about my condition. He told me that the Lingfen incense was giving me a very strong 'hallucination,' but I know that's not it..."
"of course not!"
Xu Ning took a sip of wine and laughed, "Didn't you hear what Hai Baxia shouted? She clearly said that our consciousness is connected to the World Tree. As for the truth, we'll ask Kolai's master for details when we meet him."
Xu Ning turned to look at Ke Lai and asked curiously, "Did your master say that my condition might relapse? What if I suddenly take a drag while fighting someone, will I get so drunk that I pass out again like this morning?"
When asked by Xu Ning, Ke Lai suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! I forgot my master's instructions. He said to take the medicine again as soon as you wake up."
Cole hurriedly turned around to grab the medicine bottle from the cabinet, but as soon as he picked it up and before he could turn around, the medicine bottle in his hand seemed to slip out of his grasp and suddenly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
A bitter medicinal smell filled the room.
Xu Ning sprang up from the bed and flashed to Ke Lai's side in the blink of an eye.
He saw it clearly just now: Cole's hands seemed to have lost control, trembling slightly and unable to move at all, and he could only watch helplessly as the bottle in his hands fell.
"Miss Lisa said that the medicine here in Sumeru is very advanced, so why is your illness still not cured... and it seems to have gotten worse?"
Xu Ning helped Ke Lai sit down quickly, and asked with a frown.
"Hey? Cole, are you sick? You seemed so energetic all day..."
Paimon and Kong asked in surprise. They had spent the whole day patrolling the south with Cole, and were just about to clean the statues of the Seven Gods when they happened to run into Xu Ning and bring him back.
Feeling a little embarrassed by the concerned looks from everyone, Ke Lai turned her head slightly away and slowly moved her wrist.
"Actually... it's much better now, it's just that sometimes I can't control my body, and I'm a little unsteady when holding things..."
Paimon said somewhat apologetically, "Is that so? I thought you were just a little clumsy and always dropping things, and I even secretly laughed at you with Kong. I'm so sorry!"
Ke Lai quickly waved her hand, "No need to apologize. Master actually told me not to take things without permission to avoid getting hurt. I just sometimes act recklessly..."
Kong asked doubtfully, "I've never heard of any illness that makes it impossible to control one's body. Brother Xu, do you know about Ke Lai's illness?"
Xu Ning nodded slightly, but did not answer Kong's question.
He didn't want to discuss her condition in front of Cole, as it would make her feel very embarrassed.
Perhaps I should have a good talk with her master.
"Did the medicine get spilled? Cole, are you alright?"
Suddenly, the sound of two footsteps came from the doorway. A handsome young man with animal ears and a fox tail stepped into the house first and asked.
"I'm fine, Master, I'll clean up right away."
Ke Lai tried to stand up, but Xu Ning reached out and pressed down on her shoulder. "You rest for a bit, I'll take care of it."
Sora quickly stood up and said, "Cleaning is my specialty, I'll do it..."
Kong Gang had just stood up when he saw Xu Ning snap his fingers, and then a flash of white light appeared, and Qingyi quickly appeared.
The ceramic shards and medicine stains were cleaned up in no time.
Before Kong could even figure out what he should do, Qingyi had already finished her work and returned to Chenyin Cave.
The beast-eared boy and Sora, who had just entered, were both stunned. What kind of housekeeping efficiency was this!
Paimon rubbed his hands together impatiently. "Does my partner have to be so fussy? If I keep doing this, I won't be able to win Kong's heart just by being cute!"
Xu Ning was sizing up the beast-eared boy who had just entered.
With its unusually long ears and a fluffy fox tail, it looks like a member of the Inazuma yokai clan at first glance.
However, knowing that this was Ke Lai's master, Xu Ning withdrew his slightly impolite gaze, cupped his hands in thanks, and said, "I am Xu Ning from Liyue. Thank you for your help today."
Seeing Xu Ning's polite manner, the beast-eared boy smiled and waved his hand, "No need to be so polite. My name is Tinari, and I am Cole's master. Today's events are all thanks to Cole and Kong for finding you by chance."
Tina looked Xu Ning up and down. "You're recovering even faster than Kong. Looks like I don't need to get that medicine anymore."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "I feel like everything is fine now, but that Lingfen incense is really domineering. I wonder if Master Tinali has any way to make us have some resistance to it."
Tina shook her head. "The fragrance of spiritol itself is not harmful. The reason why you and Sora had such a big reaction is mainly because it was your first time coming into contact with the energy of the grass element. Your bodies couldn't react immediately. If you rest and recuperate in the rainforest for a while, you will naturally adapt. Just like Sora, who has completely adapted now."
Xu Ning glanced speechlessly at Kong, who grinned with his big white teeth and proudly extended a finger, a wisp of green grass elemental energy flashing and disappearing at the tip.
Holy crap, he's totally adapted to it!
That guy's entire body is already shaped like a grass god!
Besides, how could I possibly gain the power of the Grass God by simply touching the statue of the Seven Heavens God? If I had that ability, do you believe me? I could rub the statue until its skin was shaved off.
After finishing his conversation with Xu Ning, Tinali turned to the pretty woman who had come with him and said, "Naslin, go and emphasize it to Faber again. The 'Daochenglin Edible Mushroom Atlas' is posted on the bulletin board. If he still can't remember it, we'll just have to stick it on his forehead and wait for someone else to remind him."
Naslin, the woman carrying a quiver, smiled wryly and said, "Perhaps he just enjoys watching colorful little figures dance in front of him, so he did it on purpose..."
Tina said helplessly, "Then next time you need my help, I'll have to charge you."
After Naslin left, Tinari turned around and went back into the house, where he heard Xu Ning and Cole having an enthusiastic discussion.
"...You know what? Back then, Haibasha told me that the Lingfen fragrance was made from plants created by the Tree King. I happened to drink some wine while inhaling those fragrances, and the taste of the wine was instantly very different. I got drunk first and then dizzy. So I thought if I could find these plants, I could make wine with them..."
Kong and Paimon had both tasted Xu Ning's fine wine, and upon hearing that it had a flavor that even Xu Ning himself praised, they were immediately intrigued and involuntarily looked towards the rainforest outside.
