Chapter 275 One is stronger than six
Narukami Taisha Shrine.
As Inashiro Hotaru watched Xu Ning pour a bottle of wine onto the roots of the Divine Cherry Tree, she wanted to stop him, but considering that this might be a custom of Liyue, she held back.
Although she didn't see the scene of Shenying's roots absorbing the wine, she hurriedly caught the little fox when it suddenly jumped from Xu Ning's shoulder to her side.
Moreover, it wasn't just the little fox that escaped from Xu Ning at the same time.
Almost the instant the little fox leaped up, the dragon eye on the Dust Concealment Gourd in Xu Ning's hand flashed, and Qingyi and Wendy, each carrying a raccoon dog, emerged from the cave.
The one in the blue robe was the very same monk Ji, whom Xu Ning had promised to bring along for the five hundred monks the day before.
What Wendy is holding at first glance looks like a raccoon dog, but upon closer inspection, it can be seen that it is just a little girl dressed as a raccoon dog.
However, the little girl's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were closed, and she showed no reaction whatsoever.
"Early pomelo!"
Standing next to Inashiro Hotaru, Kano Nana cried out in surprise and rushed to Wendy's side, taking the little girl from his arms.
However, before Kano Nana could ask about Hayato's condition, the black mist emanating from the roots of the Divine Cherry Tree had already entered Xu Ning's body.
Inashiro Hotaru, who was holding the little fox, wanted to go over and check on Xu Ning's condition, but before she could reach Xu Ning's side, Xu Ning suddenly fell to the side, as if he was dodging something.
Before Inashiro Hotaru could react, Xu Ning had already braced himself with one hand, his left leg snapping back and forth, about to kick Inashiro Hotaru in the nose in an instant.
If that kick lands, even if Inashiro Hotaru isn't seriously injured, she will inevitably suffer disfigurement.
Fortunately, the pink fox tail in Inashiro Hotaru's arms swayed gently, and amidst the flashes of lightning, a cylinder resembling a nail solidified in the air, blocking Xu Ning's extremely abrupt and violent kick.
After blocking Xu Ning's attack, the nail-like cylinder "thudded" into the ground, and the purple lightning above the cylinder condensed into the image of a small fox looking back at the moon.
But that's not all.
Then two more identical cylinders fell, forming a triangle, and connected by electric light, perfectly surrounding Xu Ning.
Xu Ning, with his dark eyes wide open, walked back and forth within the lightning barrier. Each time he touched the boundary, he was gently bounced back to his original position by the lightning.
However, Xu Ning seemed oblivious, still immersed in his own world.
Kano Nana held the raccoon-like girl and looked at Xu Ning, who was trapped in the lightning barrier, with some concern.
"what happened to him?"
The monk in the blue robe jumped down and stared into Xu Ning's dark eyes, asking, "Is this... a spell?"
Inashiro Hotaru shook her head slightly and explained, "Lord Miyaji... no, I... if you ask me, it must be that Xu Ning used some kind of magic of Inazuma to perform with the wine just now, causing an effect similar to the purification ritual, and the filthy memories absorbed by the Divine Cherry Tree were released."
Kano Nana exclaimed in surprise, "Shouldn't we be using a talisman to purify the filth now? But his current condition..."
"He doesn't know how to cleanse himself of impurities..."
Inashiro Hotaru glanced at the little fox she was holding and said, "If Lord Miyaji were here, he could naturally help him get rid of those filthy entanglements. But now, he can only rely on himself."
Kano Nana sighed, glancing at the three pillars of Sesshomaru surrounding Xu Ning, then at the little fox that Inashiro Hotaru was carefully holding. She sighed again, turning her gaze to the two who had emerged from Xu Ning's gourd.
"Where did you two meet Zaoyou, and why did she become like this?"
Qingyi and Wendy exchanged a glance, and both of them saw the intention to collude in each other's eyes.
But before Qingyi could speak, Master Ji, who was looking at Xu Ning with concern, blurted out, "In our house, we'll turn into wine barrels to sleep, and Xu Ning will move into the big house."
Hey, this raccoon is really honest!
Qingyi quickly gave Wendy a wink, urging him to find a way to get rid of the honest and simple-minded monk next to him.
Then, he said to Kano Nana, "Xu Ning just saw that she was sleeping in the wild and was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he specially moved her to the cave."
Kano Nana nodded and asked Qingyi again, "So what's going on with her current situation? Please explain that as well!"
Hearing this, the woman in green felt a little guilty and was just about to think of an excuse.
Standing to the side, Master Ji said without turning his head, "They coaxed me into drinking the wine, saying it would make me lazy and grow taller..."
The man in green was furious. "You stinking weasel, are you deliberately trying to cause trouble? You were already gossiping inside. Let me tell you, this wine of mine is the most nourishing, and it contains incredibly powerful energy!"
"I said that you can't steal alcohol before you grow up, or the monsters will secretly skin you alive."
Qingyi was even more furious when she heard Master Ji retort. "Zaoyou said she's already an adult, and people her age are twice her height. I'm just helping her out."
Kano Nana sighed again; by then, she knew exactly what had happened.
Xu Ning found Zao You sleeping in the Forest of Guardians and moved her into the cave. When Zao You woke up, she met the two guys and obtained a magical artifact that could force the lazy skill to be triggered. She was even tricked into thinking that it could make her grow taller, so she naturally got herself drunk without hesitation.
Kano Nana looked at the little girl in blue who refused to admit her mistake and the boy who was spreading his hands and pretending to be stupid and innocent. She shook her head and thought to herself that she must never let Hayasu see them again. Otherwise, she would be a little drunkard all day long and she would not be able to be a ninja in the final episode.
Qingyi, now completely at ease, joined Wendy to watch Xu Ning perform.
"Tsk tsk, did you see that? So dramatic. He actually said that his arrival would bring about change, really thinking he's a savior... Haha, in the end he's just going to run away anyway."
The woman in green watched with a mocking expression as Xu Ning anxiously spoke to thin air.
Inashiro Hotaru was also staring intently at Xu Ning, and asked the little fox in her arms with some doubt, "He mentioned Lady Mikoto Chiyo? Was he talking to Lady Kitsune-no-miya? Which memory is this? Was Lady Miyaji also there at the time?"
The little pink fox didn't answer, but wagged its tail and a look of reminiscence appeared in its squinted eyes.
Xu Ning, inside the lightning barrier, finally began to run wildly.
The strong smell of alcohol was drawn out in bursts, attacking everything around it.
Both Inashiro Hotaru and Kano Nana were startled by Xu Ning's high-frequency and violent attacks, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
Fortunately, the lightning barrier was surprisingly sturdy. Although the barrier had been trembling since Xu Ning began his attack, it was never broken. Xu Ning's full-force attack only caused bursts of fire to erupt on it.
Qingyi couldn't help but mock again.
"They can't even break through a barrier, yet they dare to talk so arrogantly about changing the outcome."
“Look at how insatiable he is. Back then, when I was drunk and unconscious, he did such terrible things to me. I was almost drained dry.”
"Luckily, I'm experienced now. See? I can handle at least six people now. Even if he's exhausted, I'll still be perfectly fine..."
