Genshin: Ningguang or Little Pitiful, Invested by Me

Little Ningguang sang for Fang Xun as she spoke, Though the little girl's voice was young, it was pleasant and melodious when she sang, It was a local folk song from Liyue, Although Fang Xun didn't understand many of the words, he could grasp the general meaning, The song told the story of a wild grass surviving tenaciously under wind and rain.

The wild grass was not as beautiful as those stunning flowers, But it still wanted to try its best to live in this world.

Actually, Fang Xun could tell that Ningguang was singing about herself with this song.

Unwilling to live an ordinary life, Striving to prove her own worth.

Fang Xun was deeply moved as he listened, He took Ningguang's Genshin's Eye from his backpack, This Genshin's Eye was exclusive to Ningguang, In other words, this Genshin's Eye would be useless in Fang Xun's hands.

Only Ningguang could unleash the power of this Genshin's Eye.

The reason Fang Xun hadn't given the Genshin's Eye to Ningguang before, Was because he felt the little girl was too young, He planned to give it to her when she grew a bit older, But now, Fang Xun felt there was no need for that.

He believed that even if he gave the Genshin's Eye to Ningguang now, The little girl would definitely use it well.

After the song finished, Little Ningguang stuck out her tongue and said apologetically, "Brother Fang Xun, even though my singing isn't good, you're not so scared now, right?"

Fang Xun felt a mix of amusement and helplessness, He had no reaction to even more eerie places like Tsurumi Island, So why would he be afraid walking this path?

However, Little Ningguang was just showing concern, Fang Xun naturally wouldn't hurt the little girl's feelings.

"Little Ningguang sings beautifully. After listening, I'm really not afraid of walking in the dark anymore!"

Hearing Fang Xun's praise, the little girl became a bit shy, revealing a simple and cute smile.

"Ningguang,"

"Yes? What is it, Brother Fang Xun?"

The little girl blinked her big, watery eyes and looked at Fang Xun curiously.

Fang Xun placed the Genshin's Eye into her hand, saying earnestly at the same time, "This Genshin's Eye is a reward for your bravery. Keep it safe."

"I believe you can definitely unleash the power of this Genshin's Eye."

Chapter 25: This is my mission, I don't want to disappoint Brother Fang Xun

Ningguang hadn't even realized what was happening, The next second, she felt something appear in her palm.

It was a Genshin's Eye, dim and without luster, It felt like warm jade to the touch, Cool and with a substantial weight.

"Brother Fang Xun, you're giving this Genshin's Eye to me??"

Little Ningguang exclaimed, her face full of disbelief.

When she used to sell goods, the little girl often overheard people discussing Genshin's Eyes, She knew how rare Genshin's Eyes were, Whenever an unclaimed Genshin's Eye appeared on the market, wealthy merchants would rush to buy it, After all, if one could activate a Genshin's Eye, they would make a fortune, Even if they couldn't activate it, an unclaimed Genshin's Eye could serve as a nice decoration.

Either way, there was no loss.

Yet, such a coveted item that merchants flocked to, Fang Xun was actually going to give it to her directly??

Little Ningguang's first reaction was to refuse.

"No, Brother Fang Xun, this Genshin's Eye is too precious. Ningguang can't accept it."

"Brother Fang Xun has already been good enough to Ningguang. If Ningguang accepts more from Brother Fang Xun, she'd be too ill-behaved."

The little girl shook her head repeatedly, trying to return the Genshin's Eye to Fang Xun.

She pouted and said tearfully, "Besides, this Genshin's Eye is too valuable. Ningguang couldn't possibly pay it back even if she worked three jobs every day."

Seeing the little girl's anxious, almost tearful expression, Fang Xun was amused and exasperated.

He crouched down, pinched Little Ningguang's cheek, and then said softly, "Silly girl, this Genshin's Eye is useless to me. It's just a decoration by my side."

"But if I give it to you, then the situation will be different."

"You can unleash the power of this Genshin's Eye. I have no doubt about that."

Looking at Fang Xun's determined eyes, Ningguang bit her lip and said unconfidently, "Unleash... the power of the Genshin's Eye? Brother Fang Xun, can I really do it?"

"But, but I'm just a little girl with no skills at all. How could I be recognized by the gods?"

The little girl's spirits drooped.

She felt like she was insignificant, an unremarkable ordinary person.

So ordinary that even the gods wouldn't notice her.

Little Ningguang had never thought about activating a Genshin's Eye before, because she felt it was unrealistic.

Fang Xun didn't answer, but instead asked with a smile, "Why wouldn't you be?"

"In my eyes, Little Ningguang is excellent, far more excellent than most people. Otherwise, why would I let you be my secretary?"

Receiving Fang Xun's affirmation, Ningguang felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.

"Brother Fang Xun, thank you for believing in me so much."

"But..."

"No 'buts',"

Fang Xun had no choice but to change his strategy.

"Little Ningguang, are you my secretary?"

"Of course! I want to be Brother Fang Xun's capable secretary!" Little Ningguang nodded seriously and forcefully.

"Then, as my secretary, isn't your primary job to follow my arrangements?"

"Yes!"

"My current task for you is to keep this Genshin's Eye safe for me. Any problems?"

For some reason, the little girl was so stubborn.

Fang Xun had no choice but to use this method to get Ningguang to keep the Genshin's Eye.

The little girl blinked her big, watery eyes and tilted her head, thinking carefully.

It seemed to make sense.

But she also felt like something was slightly off.

She couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Fang Xun wouldn't give the little girl time to react.

He directly changed the subject, "Little Ningguang, how much farther is it to your home from here?"

Hearing Fang Xun's question, the little girl's attention was indeed diverted.

Her face full of innocence and sincerity, she answered seriously, "Brother Fang Xun, we'll be there soon. Please hang in there a little longer."

Little Ningguang held Fang Xun's hand with one hand, while tightly clutching the dim Genshin's Eye in the other.

She thought to herself that keeping the Genshin's Eye safe was a task entrusted to her by Brother Fang Xun.

Therefore, no matter what, she had to keep it safe and not disappoint Brother Fang Xun!

After a while, Ningguang tugged at Fang Xun's clothes and said excitedly, "Brother Fang Xun, Ningguang's home is just ahead!"

Fang Xun also noticed.

He and Ningguang had already passed through the dark mountain path.

Now, looking up, they could see a faint light coming from ahead.

Wait
