Chapter 209 No one is working hard at night
Xu Ning actually ate dinner in the study.
This was something Ningguang hadn't expected.
When Bai Shi went in to clear the dishes, Ning Guang saw through the crack in the door that Xu Ning was holding a book in one hand and writing and drawing on paper with a pen in the other. She happily closed the door for him.
Even late at night, after Ningguang had finished all her work, she found Xu Ning still diligently writing and drawing at his desk.
After everyone had gone to rest, Ningguang did not disturb Xu Ning and returned to her bedroom alone.
I intended to lock the door from the inside and let him in after I had checked the manuscript he had written.
However, thinking of Xu Ning's serious writing there, Ning Guang's heart softened, and she gently opened the door slightly, leaving a crack.
A moment later, Xu Ning finally wrote the last character "光" (light) on the paper, making a large, sweeping stroke at the end to show his joy at completing the task.
Xu Ning picked up the gourd and took a big gulp of wine. He smiled and rolled up the thick stack of papers on the table, carefully placing them into the book bag that Ning Guang had prepared for him, and tied the red string at the top of the bag.
"Time to collect the reward!"
Xu Ning blew out the wooden lamp beside him and walked quietly to Ning Guang's door.
Looking at the slightly ajar door, Xu Ning's heart was instantly filled with love.
As is customary, Xu Ning carefully wrapped the Dust Concealment Gourd with the clothes he had taken off, then tiptoed onto the Cloud Dream Bed and gently embraced and kissed his beloved.
"Hmmmm~"
Ningguang was awakened by Xu Ning's restless antics. With slightly sleepy eyes, she asked Xu Ning in his ear, "Are you finished writing?"
Xu Ning liked Ning Guang's eyes the most at this moment. Her half-closed eyes no longer had the sharp, insightful look she had during the day. Instead, they were like a clear pool filled with spring water, rippling with deep affection.
He gently kissed her eyes, then lay down on the bed, pulling the half-asleep girl into his arms and licking her earlobe, asking for praise: "You wrote a full twenty-six pages! I was so obedient, what reward are you going to give me?"
Ningguang was also unable to sleep because of his teasing. With such a beautiful woman in her arms, Xu Ning actually wanted more rewards. She retorted reproachfully, "I've given you my whole body, what more rewards do you want?"
Xu Ning chuckled and said, "There are many, many more things I want, such as..."
Gently teasing Runyu's small earlobe, Xu Ning began to impart his knowledge to Ningguang.
After only a few words, Ningguang's face flushed crimson, her eyes shimmering like a clear pool, she bit her lower lip and spat at Xu Ning, calling him a "nemesis," before slowly swimming away like a snake.
The sky was already bright.
Bai Shi sat at the small tea table, silently drinking tea, his heart filled with sorrow.
"Lady Ningguang is getting up later and later every day. This Xu Ning is simply a jinx. Without Lady Ningguang, Liyue is gradually losing hope, and he is going to single-handedly bring about its destruction. This world will surely be destroyed by his hands!"
Bai Xiao rolled her eyes at her from the side, "It's just a few moments of pleasure, it's not as serious as you make it out to be."
The inner lock of Ningguang's room clicked softly. Bai Shi's ears perked up, and he quickly put down his teacup, picked up his carefully prepared dress, and ran to the door to wait for Ningguang's call.
Unexpectedly, the door opened slightly, and Xu Ning slipped out from inside, gently closing the door behind him.
Upon seeing Bai Shi standing at the door, Xu Ning put his index finger to his lips and gently shushed him.
"Don't disturb her, she just fell asleep."
Bai Shi was so moved by the hidden meaning behind those words that tears welled up in her eyes. She angrily muttered to Xu Ning, "You deserve to die!"
Xu Ning glared at her and threatened in a low voice, "You disrespectful child! If you dare to curse me again, I'll whisper in Ning Guang's ear tonight and get her to fire you."
Bai Shi was so angry that his whole body trembled. He glared at his lifelong enemy, but couldn't think of any way to punish him.
Xu Ning ignored her, stretched, went to the study to take the Liyue plan he had written, and went down from the Qunyu Pavilion to the Moon Sea Pavilion.
Of course, he didn't forget to carry the prepared gift boxes with him, and when he met Gan Yu, he handed these gifts over first.
“Miss Gan Yu, these are snacks I brought for you specially from Mondstadt. There are cloud pancakes and egg burgers, a local specialty. Please try them.”
Xu Ning knew that to dispel Gan Yu's wariness of food gifts, she should quickly bring up work matters after giving the gifts to occupy her thinking space.
"And this is the Liyue planning proposal that I rushed to finish according to Uncle Tian and Yelan's requirements. Although it only took one night, I really put my heart into every word and worked half the night! I don't think any other candidate submitted it earlier than me, right?"
Gan Yu took the book bag from Xu Ning's hand, took out a small piece of paper, wrote the words "Xu Ning" on it, and stuck it on the red string binding the bag. Pointing to the bookshelf behind her, she laughed and said, "You're not the earliest one. Qian Wei arrived half an hour earlier than you."
Xu Ning looked up at the bookshelf, where there was indeed a book bag almost identical to his own, with a small note bearing the name "Qian Wei" attached to the drawstring.
"Oh, there's someone even more confident than me, that's unexpected. Miss Gan Yu, have you seen it? How many pages did he write?"
Gan Yu shook her head and said, "This time, the Tian Shu Star selection is not under the jurisdiction of Yue Haiting, but is entirely handled by Ye Lan, so I haven't looked at it. However, Qian Wei did say that he wrote a full twenty-five pages."
Xu Ning laughed and said, "So what if I submitted it earlier? I still wrote one more page than him."
Gan Yu smiled and said, "I guess the other two won't hand in their papers as early as you two. After all, they seem to be taking this selection more seriously. Unlike you two, one of you seems to think it's a sure thing, and the other seems indifferent."
Xu Ning thought to himself that he really didn't care. At least in his opinion, there was no one in Liyue Harbor who could fight Ningguang right now.
This even includes myself.
Moreover, this refers not only to strategy, but also to the hard power of combat.
Xu Ning still remembered that after he and Ningguang made love for the first time, he took her to see Belial's body, which was as big as a newborn baby. At that time, the oppressive feeling brought by the thick rock element fluctuations emanating from Ningguang almost made him think that the Emperor had made a move.
Of course, this statement is an exaggeration, but the feeling that you might actually be killed by her is absolutely true.
I thought I had broken through the level 20 barrier, opened my constellation, and absorbed the Heart of the Wind God to unlock new elemental power, but I didn't expect to still feel such a strong sense of crisis next to Ningguang.
Xu Ning couldn't help but sigh; it seemed that the fortune of Liyue over the past thousand years had all been concentrated on Ningguang.
It seems that even without Ningguang's encouragement, I still have to work hard in all aspects.
Otherwise, aside from being able to dominate in bed, he would be severely outmatched in every other aspect.
Moreover, there is an even more powerful demon god-level figure watching him from afar. If he cannot withstand the pressure, he will probably have to make plans to escape and save his life in advance.
