Genshin: Ningguang or Little Pitiful, Invested by Me

Because the impact was too great!

Seeing that Ganyu didn't speak, Cloud Retainer continued, "Actually, I don't need to say it. When you saw Fang Xun, you should have felt some affection, right?"

Affectionate?

Ganyu couldn't help but recall.

After her nap, she did feel a bit fond of Fang Xun.

But, but it was just a little fondness.

It wasn't enough to be together, right?

Seeing Ganyu's lack of response, Cloud Retainer asked again, "What, do you dislike that person named Fang Xun?"

Ganyu immediately shook her head and denied it, "No, Mister Fang Xun is a very good person. I don't dislike Mister Fang Xun."

She lowered her head, not daring to meet Cloud Retainer's eyes, and weakly said, "I just, I just feel like this happened too suddenly."

Cloud Retainer breathed a sigh of relief. "It's fine as long as you don't dislike him."

Seeing that Ganyu seemed reluctant to discuss the topic, Cloud Retainer said, "Alright, Ganyu, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Although I, this immortal, have lived for thousands of years, I am not so pedantic as to force a mismatched couple together."

"I hope you two get together, but ultimately it depends on your own wishes. This matter cannot be forced."

Ganyu nodded shyly, her face flushed. "I, I understand."

"Master, I still have work to finish, so I'll take my leave for now. I'll visit you again another day!"

After speaking, Ganyu hurried away.

Cloud Retainer watched Fang Xun's retreating figure and shook her head helplessly. "This child, she always uses that excuse to run away. A thousand years have passed, and her excuse hasn't changed."

"That little girl is so foolish. If she ever gets married, won't she be bullied?"

"No, as Ganyu's master, I should go and get to know that young man named Fang Xun and assess his character."

"If that kid is suitable, I wouldn't mind helping to forge a good match."

Cloud Retainer spread her wings and flew into the clouds, disappearing in an instant.

Chapter 24: Brother Fang Xun, Don't Be Afraid, Ningguang Will Sing for You

Meanwhile, on Fang Xun's end.

After changing the sub-stat properties of his Artifact, he quickly opened the gacha banner.

He had just obtained an Intertwined Fate from increasing Ningguang's favorability and hadn't used it yet.

Adhering to the principle of "single pulls bring miracles," Fang Xun decided to go for a single pull again.

A beam of light descended from the sky.

A soft, azure light appeared before Fang Xun.

Immediately after, Brilliant, dazzling gold erupted from within the blue light!

He got a gold!

A gold on the fifth pull!

Seeing this, Fang Xun almost shed tears of joy for a non-whaler.

In all his years of playing games, his gold items usually came from pity pulls.

To get a gold in just five pulls this time was truly not easy~

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the five-star skill 'Mystic Aegis'!"

The skill icon that appeared was a small, floating ghost, looking extremely playful.

Fang Xun had a strong impression of this 'Mystic Aegis'.

It was Hu Tao's Elemental Burst skill, and its damage was considerable.

In the game, there were often various powerful players who, through various elemental reactions, character skill amplifications, and various enhancement potions, would eventually unleash millions of damage with 'Mystic Aegis' in a "nuke" explosion.

However, the 'Mystic Aegis' Fang Xun obtained through this gacha pull didn't require such a complicated process.

He didn't need any reaction effects or to consume any amplification potions; he could easily break through the so-called "nuke" numbers.

He heard that the Geovishap and the Primo Geovishap were damage testers.

Fang Xun just wanted to say, So what if they have high HP?

So what if they have resistance?

If they can withstand even one of his 'Mystic Aegis' attacks, then he loses!

Soon, Fang Xun unlocked the skill and added it to his skill library.

He mastered the skill naturally, as if it were an innate ability.

Exiting the interface, time resumed its flow.

Afterward, Fang Xun accompanied Little Ningguang as they carefully inspected the two-story layout of their new house.

The house was large, with many bedrooms, so it would be no problem to accommodate more people.

Fang Xun ruffled Ningguang's hair and said softly, "Little girl, it's getting late. Shall we go pick up your mother?"

Ningguang had originally planned to go pick up her mother alone, telling Fang Xun to rest at home.

However, Fang Xun was worried about letting Ningguang go by herself, especially since it was already dark.

So, he decided to accompany Ningguang.

"Mhm!" Little Ningguang nodded emphatically, her bright eyes filled with anticipation.

She wondered how surprised her mother would be when she learned they could live in Liyue.

Just thinking about it brought an involuntary smile to the little girl's face.

Soon, the two left Liyue Harbor under the cover of night.

Liyue City was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

But once they were outside the city, the lights grew fewer, and the sounds of the city faded into the distance.

Eventually, the only companion for their journey was the faint moonlight.

To be honest, Fang Xun couldn't get used to the environment.

It was too dark, so dark he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.

Even if there was a pillar standing in front of him, Fang Xun wouldn't notice it and almost ran into it.

There was no other way; the visibility was extremely low.

This reminded Fang Xun of the time during the Seirai Island quest when the map was covered in thick fog.

Yes, it felt very similar.

He could barely see anything.

For Fang Xun, it was torture.

Yet, even in these conditions, Little Ningguang's walking pace didn't falter.

She walked this path in the dark every day, and after doing it so many times, she had become very familiar with it.

When the little girl walked this path home every night, what did she think about?

She must have been scared, right?

Thinking of this, Fang Xun couldn't help but feel sorry for Ningguang.

This child had endured so much hardship in the past.

But she never complained, facing life optimistically every day.

It truly wasn't easy.

Little Ningguang didn't notice Fang Xun's complex expression.

She thought he was a little scared.

So, she immediately took Fang Xun's hand and said with a smile, "Brother Fang Xun, don't be scared. Ningguang will hold your hand and lead the way!"

"It's a bit dark here, but we'll be at Ningguang's home soon~"

"Once we get home, there will be lights. Mom always waits for Ningguang at the door with a lantern every night!"

Worried Fang Xun might be nervous, the little girl proactively spoke to him and comforted him, acting like a little adult.

Ningguang paused, then continued, "Brother Fang Xun, shall I sing you a song~?"

"I used to be scared when walking alone at night, but I found that singing can give me courage!"

"I'm not a very good singer, so don't laugh at me, okay?"
