Chapter 77

Most of the residents here were hunters and adventurers.

It was said that the wild boars in this area had exceptionally delicious meat, making it an excellent food supply base.

Among the residents of Springvale, the most well-known was the Katzlein family.

This was a family with special bloodlines - cat ears, cat tails, and even some feline-like reflexes and speed.

In short, they were born hunters.

Of course, regardless of age or gender, they all had cat ears and tails.

This made some people with particular interests declare this place as heaven.

However, like cats, many of them had somewhat difficult temperaments.

Right at the entrance of Springvale, you could see cat-girls and cat-boys wearing beast hide clothing and carrying hunting bows on their backs.

Some people were working together to carry back hunted wild boars and other game.

"So this is Springvale... It feels like a secluded little town," Jiang Ning said while looking around.

As expected of Mondstadt, the atmosphere here naturally made people feel relaxed.

Amber said, "Calling it secluded is an exaggeration. However, many people from Mondstadt City do come here for vacation, drinking, and relaxation."

"They also offer hunting experience activities, and of course, authentic wild game that everyone can enjoy eating."

Jiang Ning remarked, "This feels similar to the farmhouse resorts in Liyue."

"I suppose so. Anyway, Springvale is indeed a great place to relieve stress," Amber replied.

"Moreover, Eula and her reconnaissance team frequently clear out monsters in the vicinity. Eula alone has saved many Springvale residents!"

Amber spoke proudly.

Eula seemed uncomfortable with such praise and quickly changed the subject:

"You should go deliver the items to the recipient. I'll just find somewhere to pass the time."

She knew that if she went in, she wouldn't be welcome, and it would also cause inconvenience to Amber and the others.

Amber said, "But don't you need to replenish your provisions?"

Eula replied, "Well, we can deal with that when we return to Mondstadt City."

She could prepare and make them herself then.

Buying things here would only invite cold stares.

"Come in. Buy what you need, I'll help you with the purchases," Jiang Ning suddenly said.

The system suddenly triggered a quest.

[Not bullying people with your authority? How dare you call yourself a villain? A villain's life is incomplete without bullying others with power, so...]

Jiang Ning understood. It seemed this quest could be completed by using Eula's situation.

Eula thought for a moment. Previously, Amber would always help her buy things and deliver them to her home. Changing to someone else... that could work too.

"Just to be clear, I won't thank you," Eula said stubbornly, turning her head away.

Jiang Ning replied, "Yes, yes, I know. I'm the one insisting on helping you buy things... I'll remember this grudge."

"Hey, why are you copying how I talk?" 

Eula's beautiful eyes widened, showing no fierceness but rather a unique charm.

Amber chuckled softly, feeling that if Eula continued interacting with Jiang Ning, she would often be caught off guard by him.

After entering Springvale, Jiang Ning first bought some local ingredients, and then had the most famous meat products preserved before storing them in his Serenitea Pot.

Yes, he bought an entire live pig and kept it in the Serenitea Pot.

He hoped Xiangling would like it.

After finishing his shopping, Jiang Ning looked around and finally found Xiangling and Eula.

The two were currently in front of a vendor, seemingly in an argument.

Jiang Ning was stunned. Was it really this extreme? The vendor's face already showed disgust.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ning walked over. Before getting close, he could hear the vendor's impatient voice.

"Get lost! What bad luck to have a disgrace from the Lawrence clan trying to buy from my stall."

"You!" 

Amber looked extremely angry, but Eula seemed used to it and simply pulled Amber away.

Though her expression remained calm, the look in her eyes revealed her disappointment.

"How much mora for these items?" Jiang Ning came to the vendor's stall and picked up the potatoes that Eula had wanted to buy.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning, the vendor seemed to become a different person, with a calculating smile:

"Well, that depends on how much you want."

After negotiating the price with the vendor, Jiang Ning bought two large bags of potatoes.

Although he strongly disliked the vendor's behavior, in Liyue, the land of contracts, Jiang Ning still maintained this spirit of contractual agreements.

"Here, the things you wanted to buy."

Jiang Ning handed the items to Eula.

"No need to pay. Consider it my thanks for saving my senior apprentice sister."

Eula said, "But Yanfei already..."

"What senior apprentice sister gave is different from what I'm giving,"

Jiang Ning didn't give Eula a chance to decline further and asked, 

"What else do you need?"
