Chapter 59: Chapter 59
"By the way, Senior Sister, Madame Ping gave me a Serenitea Pot. Do you know how to use it?" Jiang Ning placed the Serenitea Pot in front of Ganyu and asked.
Ganyu replied, "The Serenitea Pot... I almost forgot about this treasure... I was actually thinking of asking Madame Ping to give you one. It's very useful when traveling in the wilderness."
"It's not complicated. Since it's from Madame Ping, it should be bound to your essence. You just need to use your adeptal energy to enter this small realm."
"Also, if you want to let others enter, there's a teapot spirit inside. Give her some of your adeptal energy, and she'll help you create entry permits. Anyone holding these permits can then enter the Serenitea Pot at any time."
Jiang Ning's eyes lit up with interest. "Let me try..."
As he channeled his adeptal energy, he felt his feet leave the ground, and in a flash of light, he found himself in a place filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
Inside was a small world connected by floating islands. The island where he stood had houses and gardens, elegantly decorated in the grand Liyue style.
"Wow, amazing..."
Jiang Ning's eyes sparkled.
As he was admiring the surroundings, a colorful bird-like creature popped out of a large teacup, its feathers vibrant and its appearance endearing.
"Hello! You must be the new master of this Serenitea Pot that Lord Streetward Rambler mentioned. I'm the teapot spirit. How may I help you?"
Jiang Ning examined the teapot spirit and said, "First, please give me two entry permits."
He released two orbs of adeptal energy to the spirit.
The spirit nodded, accepted the energy, and returned to its teacup. Shortly after, it emerged with two completed permits.
Jiang Ning quickly sent them out and brought his two senior sisters inside.
"Senior Sisters, you can now come and go as you please," Jiang Ning said.
Shenhe curiously examined their surroundings. While this realm wasn't as grand as their master's domain, it had its own elegant charm.
Ganyu smiled, "Thank you, Junior Brother... But I see this place is already fully furnished. Madame Ping must have put in quite some effort."
She continued explaining: "Usually, when Madame Ping gives these to other adepti, they're unfurnished, and everything needs to be designed and created from scratch. But yours has been personally decorated by her."
These items still carry Madame Ping's adeptal energy... It seems Junior Brother has made quite an impression on her, Ganyu thought, her eyes twinkling.
This was truly fortunate.
After all, among all the adepti, Madame Ping's influence was among the greatest.
"Senior Sister, this will be our home when we're traveling from now on."
Jiang Ning looked at Shenhe as he spoke.
Shenhe seemed momentarily lost in thought before revealing a beautiful smile. "Yes... our home."
"Hmm, when we return, I should give Master an entry permit too..."
Jiang Ning said.
Ganyu advised, "By the way, if you want to design and create things yourself later, prepare the blueprints and materials first. It's best to also prepare some adeptal energy for the teapot spirit, and she'll help you create everything."
Jiang Ning nodded, "Got it!"
"Is there anything particular you both would like?"
Jiang Ning asked.
Ganyu and Shenhe looked troubled.
"Even if you ask so suddenly... I can't think of anything..." Ganyu fretted.
Shenhe had a flash of inspiration: "Qingxin flowers, Glaze Lilies..."
Ganyu clapped her hands, "Right, we can plant some flowers and herbs, but the gardens and houses are a bit monotonous."
Jiang Ning quietly made a mental note: "Alright."
"Teapot Spirit, could you show us around this place?"
Jiang Ning asked.
The spirit bounced over: "Of course, please follow me..."
After a simple tour of the entire Serenitea Pot led by the spirit, even Ganyu felt a bit envious.
She'd never seen Madame Ping be so generous before.
"Time for bed, we need to wake up early tomorrow..."
After leaving the Serenitea Pot, Ganyu turned back only to see Shenhe pulling Jiang Ning toward their room.
"Wait! I told you! We have to wake up early tomorrow!"
Ganyu quickly tried to stop Shenhe.
Shenhe said, "But these past few days, Jiang Ning has been running around constantly, both day and night..."
"During the day he's been by your side, Senior Sister, and at night, which should have been my time, it's become Hu Tao's time instead..."
Shenhe tried her best to appear pitiful, but after several attempts, she gave up.
"As newlyweds, we should be inseparable, yet I've been left to sleep alone..."
Shenhe continued.
At first, Ganyu felt somewhat guilty, but soon realized something was off.
No, Shenhe wouldn't talk like this, and these phrases weren't ones she would normally know...
Plus, Junior Brother wasn't of age yet. While she usually turned a blind eye to their relationship, how had this become her fault?
Ganyu's gaze became sharp:
"Shenhe, who taught you to say these things? Don't lie in front of Junior Brother."
Shenhe fell silent for a moment, then honestly admitted:
"I recently visited Ying'er again..."
Ganyu covered her face - case solved.
It was Ying'er's fault again, and no wonder there were two new Scent of Spring pottery pieces in Shenhe's room.
Ganyu ground her teeth silently. Well done, Ying'er. Last time using fire safety as an excuse to inspect your workplace wasn't enough of a lesson?
You've corrupted my good junior sister!
Ganyu began quietly calculating what method she could use to torment Ying'er personally without affecting her business.
The thought of not abusing her authority had long since been thrown out the window.
Nothing was more important than matters concerning her junior brother and sister!
While Ganyu was deep in thought, Shenhe directly dragged Jiang Ning into their room and locked the door.
Ganyu was startled by the sound of the closing door, and looking at the firmly shut entrance, she opened her mouth but ultimately returned to her room dejected.
After all, she couldn't exactly break down the door, could she?
Inexplicably, Ganyu felt uncomfortable.
It must be because she hadn't protected her Junior Brother properly, yes, that must be it.
And what about Jiang Ning after some time had passed?
"System, help..."
[Host, we recommend using Geo and Cryo elements for enhancement. If possible, try to obtain Hydro and Electro elements too...]
[Geo for hardness, Cryo for cooling, Electro for charging and stimulation, and Hydro for circulation...]
[Oh right, there's also Dendro for rapid growth...]
"Go away... never mind, I'll try..."
