Genshin: Ningguang or Little Pitiful, Invested by Me

Just as Ningguang was at a loss, Fang Xun stood before her like a great mountain, leaving only his towering back.

Chapter 15: Little girl, don't be afraid, brother is here.

Looking at Fang Xun shielding her, Ningguang immediately felt the oppressive aura from the Treasure Hoarders lessen significantly.

The little girl raised her head, her clear, pure, beautiful eyes couldn't help but gaze at Fang Xun's profile.

Little Ningguang's eyes suddenly became a little teary, because before this, she had never been protected by anyone.

So, this is what it feels like to be protected.

It brought an indescribable sense of security.

"Hey, hey, hey, what valuable things do you have on you? Hand them over quickly."

"As long as you cooperate obediently, I can grant you a quick death. Do you understand?"

At this moment, the leader of the Treasure Hoarders spoke.

His tone was arrogant and overbearing, his face full of disdain.

The Treasure Hoarder leader didn't even spare Fang Xun a glance, after all, there were only two people on Fang Xun's side, and one of them was a little girl with zero combat power.

Whereas they were numerous and powerful; if a fight were to break out, there would be absolutely no suspense.

Ningguang heard the Treasure Hoarder leader's words, her face filled with terror, her small body trembling slightly.

Although she was young, due to her years of selling goods, she knew what the Treasure Hoarders meant.

Little Ningguang was so scared she was about to cry, the young child simply couldn't bear this fear and pressure.

In an instant, many images flashed through Ningguang's mind:

Her mother wasn't well yet and was waiting for her at home...

She hadn't grown up to marry the person she loved yet...

And there were many things she still wanted to do...

Sensing Ningguang's fear, Fang Xun gently took her hand and softly said, "Little girl, don't be afraid, brother is here."

Fang Xun's tone was very firm, this sent a warm current through Ningguang's heart, bringing an indescribable sense of peace.

"We told you to hand over your money, why are you dawdling there?"

The Treasure Hoarders clearly had no patience, they drew their weapons, intending to kill and rob them directly.

Facing the Treasure Hoarders' advance, Ningguang was terrified, and Fang Xun immediately shielded her behind him.

Fang Xun, however, felt no fear, but rather a sense of eagerness.

Yes, eagerness.

He had previously drawn Ganyu's skill, 'Mountain Marsh Lin Ji', and now he finally had an opportunity to test its damage!

However, Fang Xun worried that using his skill later might harm Little Ningguang.

To this end, Fang Xun ruffled Ningguang's little head and said in a low voice, "Little girl, if a fight breaks out later, you find an opportunity to escape. Run as far as you can, understand?"

Ningguang thought Fang Xun intended to sacrifice himself to buy her time to escape.

Her beautiful big eyes immediately turned red, teary and looking pitiful.

"No, if Brother Fang Xun isn't leaving, I'm not leaving either. I would never abandon Brother Fang Xun!"

Ningguang's tone was resolute, she tightly clutched Fang Xun's clothes, unwilling to let go.

The little girl was clearly terrified, but she erupted with immense courage, wanting to face the danger with Fang Xun.

Little Ningguang's pretty face was tender, but it was filled with seriousness.

Fang Xun was deeply moved by this.

After all, He had stayed to face the Treasure Hoarders because he had a trump card and was confident he could retreat unharmed. But Ningguang, without knowing any of this, was willing to stay and face the danger with Fang Xun. This was incredibly rare!

Fang Xun couldn't help but sigh. He had only helped Ningguang with a few small favors, And yet she was willing to risk her life with him. The little girl was truly, truly foolish. How could Fang Xun bear to see such a silly girl get hurt?

Fang Xun smiled, holding Ningguang's small hand tightly. "Alright, then we'll face this together."

Just as Fang Xun was about to use his skill, A powerful and resonant voice came from behind him.

"Captain, we found them! They're here!"

"Not good, it's the Treasure Hoarders! Hurry up and help, we must ensure the safety of the citizens!"

Fang Xun turned his head. What greeted his eyes was a squad of Millelith in armor! The Millelith marched with neat steps, holding spears in their hands, And were striding towards them.

With the arrival of the Millelith, the Treasure Hoarder leader's expression immediately changed, becoming extremely grim. The Treasure Hoarders could only bully ordinary citizens; they were no match for regular troops. The Treasure Hoarders involuntarily retreated, looking like they were preparing to flee.

The Millelith captain naturally noticed this detail and sternly ordered, "These Treasure Hoarders have committed many evil deeds, harming many citizens."

"Don't let them escape, arrest them all, not a single one!"

Following the captain's orders, the other Millelith sprang into action. Though the Treasure Hoarders were vicious, the Millelith were even more well-trained. In a short while, the Treasure Hoarders were routed, their forces collapsing like a mountain. The leader, who had been so arrogant and imposing moments before, was the first to be pinned to the ground, unable to move. The other Treasure Hoarder members weren't faring any better; they were all pressed to the ground.

Ningguang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the sight. The arrival of the Millelith meant they were safe.

"Brother Fang Xun, we're safe now," the little girl said, looking up and smiling at Fang Xun. The Millelith captain also said seriously, "Don't worry, with the Millelith here, you won't be harmed."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden, deafening roar made the captain's face change drastically. The roar was like thunder, so loud that everyone involuntarily looked in its direction. There, a large figure in purple armor, carrying a hammer, had appeared out of nowhere.

Looking at the brute before him, Fang Xun immediately recognized him. It was a Fatui Electro Cicin Mage! Fang Xun had a deep impression of this Electro Cicin Mage. When he was still a novice, he had been chased around by Electro Cicin Mages quite a few times. Why would a Fatui member appear here?

However, Fang Xun had no time to ponder. Because the Electro Cicin Mage had already moved. He charged forward with his Electro Cicin Mage, The immense weight causing the very ground to tremble! The Electro Cicin Mage raised his hammer high, and purple lightning surged from his body. The scattered sparks seemed capable of piercing the earth! Compared to the Treasure Hoarders, the pressure brought by the Fatui was immeasurably greater!

The next second, the Electro Cicin Mage swung his Electro Cicin Mage.
