Genshin: Ningguang or Little Pitiful, Invested by Me

That light didn't seem to be from a lamp, It wasn't warm, but rather a bit blinding.

It's fire!

A raging inferno!

It's on fire!

The entire village is on fire!

Why is this happening?

Little Ningguang was stunned at first when she saw this scene, then she rushed forward without a second thought.

She cared about her gravely ill mother and the villagers who had taken care of her.

Everyone was such a good person, Nothing must happen to them!

Fang Xun wanted to follow, but it was dark, and he wasn't familiar with the terrain, so he was immediately left behind by Ningguang.

Just then, the ground began to shake violently, A massive Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard burrowed out from underground.

Fang Xun was filled with confusion, Why would an Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard appear here??

But it was clearly not the time to be thinking, The Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard's appearance was like a shroud covering the sky, instantly plunging the entire village into shadow!

Then the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard let out a deafening roar, It raised its giant claws and smashed the wooden houses in front of it into pieces, In an instant, wood chips flew everywhere, and the ground cracked.

Residents fled in all directions, their faces filled with panic.

The village blacksmith looked at the behemoth, then at the ruined village, His eyes turned red, and he grabbed a long spear lying nearby, thrusting it at the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard.

But the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard's hide was thick and tough, The blacksmith used all his strength, but he couldn't even leave a scratch on its scales, let alone injure it.

Its defense was astonishing!

The blacksmith despaired, dropped the spear, and began to flee for his life.

Meanwhile, Ningguang was still searching for her mother amidst the chaos.

She prayed in her heart, praying that her mother had already evacuated safely before the fire.

"Ningguang, Ningguang!"

Just then, Ningguang heard a familiar call, It was her mother.

Ningguang's mother looked a bit pale, but she could still move.

Tears welled up in Ningguang's eyes, and she immediately threw herself into her mother's arms.

"Mom, I'm so glad you're okay, I'm so glad you're okay."

"You child, why didn't you run? Why did you rush in? Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Although Ningguang's mother was scolding her, tears were streaming down her face as well.

Wasting no time for pleasantries, Ningguang's mother grabbed Ningguang and urged her to flee: "We need to leave quickly, it's too dangerous here."

Little Ningguang nodded and followed her mother out.

In the chaos, someone accidentally bumped into Ningguang's shoulder, The Genshin's Eye she was tightly clutching fell to the ground.

Little Ningguang's face changed instantly when she saw this, She turned and ran back without a second thought, wanting to pick up the Genshin's Eye.

However, there were too many people running out, and she couldn't push her way back in several times.

Ningguang's mother saw the Genshin's Eye on the ground and was stunned. Why did her daughter have something so precious?

Without time to think, Ningguang's mother said again, "You child, at a time like this, why are you still thinking about earning Mora?"

"We can earn money later if we lose it, but if we lose our lives, we lose everything!"

Ningguang's mother lectured her earnestly. In her eyes, Ningguang was placing too much importance on wealth.

However, Ningguang said with a face full of seriousness, "No, even if my life is lost here, I must pick up that Genshin's Eye."

"Because..."

"Because I promised Brother Fang Xun I'd watch over this Genshin's Eye for him!"

"This is my task, I don't want to disappoint Brother Fang Xun!"

Ningguang's mother was stunned.

Ningguang wasn't risking her life for money, but for a promise?!

Chapter 26: Steadfast Even When Storms Rage

Ningguang's mother stood frozen in place.

She was already sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.

To risk her life for a promise, to the point of not even caring if she died?

So foolish.

How could there be such a foolish girl in this world?

Yet, Ningguang's mother couldn't bring herself to say her daughter was wrong.

Because in this world, there were many things that held more meaning than life itself.

Ningguang's mother wiped away her tears and walked back against the flow of the crowd.

"Silly girl, Mom will help you look for it."

"You're right, we can't be people who break their promises!"

"Excuse me, everyone, thank you for your understanding!"

With her mother's help, Little Ningguang finally managed to squeeze through the crowd and onto the ground to pick up the Genshin's Eye.

Seeing some dirt on the Genshin's Eye, Little Ningguang carefully wiped it clean, then let out a sigh of relief.

She hadn't lost the Genshin's Eye, and she hadn't failed Brother Fang Xun's expectations.

That was great.

Little Ningguang hadn't even had time to breathe a sigh of relief, when the next second she felt an intensely blinding light emanating from above, and a rolling heatwave rushing towards her, the air she inhaled felt like flames pouring into her lungs!

Ningguang instinctively looked up.

She saw the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard spitting a fireball from its mouth, hurtling towards the crowd!

The fireball was too enormous, so much so that, humans seemed insignificant and minuscule in its presence.

It was unstoppable, like a meteor!

Several towering trees turned to ash the moment the fireball touched them.

It was unimaginable what would happen if it landed in the crowd.

The sheer terrifying heat alone could turn the entire village into a living hell!

Beneath that giant fireball, the villagers showed expressions of despair and helplessness.

They knew, that escaping now would be futile, meaningless.

In an instant, some collapsed to the ground, while others wept uncontrollably.

Feeling the cries around her, and the fireball drawing ever closer, Little Ningguang's mind went blank.

She hadn't had time to tell her mother that from now on, they wouldn't have to live in a shabby wooden house and could move into a new one.

She hadn't had time to grow into Fang Xun's capable little secretary.

Little Ningguang still had so many things she hadn't had time to do...

Was she going to die now?

The next second, Ningguang suddenly felt someone pull her.
