Genshin Impact: Ningguang or Little Pitiful, Invested by Me

The villagers present were all dumbfounded.

One strike!

Fang Xun killed the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, which was as tall as half a mountain and had thick, tough skin, with just one strike?!

"An Immortal! It's an Immortal!"

"Thank you, Immortal, for saving us! Thank you, Immortal!"

For a time, all the villagers knelt on the ground, bowing in thanks to Fang Xun.

In their eyes, Fang Xun was undoubtedly an Immortal.

Chapter 28: Little Ningguang Wants to Grow Up Quickly

As the villagers were showering Fang Xun with admiration and flattery, Cloud Retainer, standing atop the high mountain, fell into deep thought.

Her original plan was to personally intervene and protect the villagers, but she hadn't expected Fang Xun to enter the fray before her.

Not only that, but Fang Xun had single-handedly blocked the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard's attack.

This point greatly surprised Cloud Retainer.

Because she knew firsthand how terrifying the destructive power of Geo-spitting was.

Cloud Retainer had once personally witnessed a single Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard's spit easily flatten an entire mountain peak, so even Immortals would not easily risk their lives when facing the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard's spit.

Yet, Fang Xun had done something that greatly surprised Cloud Retainer.

Fang Xun had blocked the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard's spit with his body, not only blocking it, but doing so without a scratch.

This made Cloud Retainer find it incredible.

So, more often than not, Cloud Retainer's gaze was fixed on the Jade Shield in front of Fang Xun.

That Jade Shield was too powerful, giving Cloud Retainer the feeling that the energy contained within it was comparable to an Immortal's spell.

That Jade Shield had surpassed Immortal spells!

Why did Fang Xun possess power that surpassed Immortals?

While astonished, Cloud Retainer also sensed a familiar aura from the shield.

That aura was actually similar to Rex Lapis'!

To the point that, for a moment, Cloud Retainer's expression became somewhat dazed, mistaking Fang Xun's retreating figure for the presence of Lord Rex Lapis himself!

Could it be that, this young man named Fang Xun had some kind of connection or even a contract with Lord Rex Lapis?

Cloud Retainer felt an indescribable astonishment in her heart.

Of course, what Cloud Retainer found most unbelievable was, that Fang Xun had actually succeeded in killing the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard!

Cloud Retainer, having lived for thousands of years as an Immortal, had a certain understanding of the strength of Liyue's monsters.

She knew that the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard was covered in thick, heavy scales, its defense astonishing.

Ordinary weapons and spears were completely useless against it;

only Immortals using their spells could suppress this monster.

But now, Cloud Retainer had personally witnessed, Fang Xun kill the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard with just one spear thrust!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the spear Fang Xun thrust out was comparable to the ultimate dragon-slaying technique!

Even though Cloud Retainer was standing on a distant mountain peak, She still felt the overwhelming pressure washing over her.

As Cloud Retainer, an Immortal, having experienced the passage of a thousand years, she had long forgotten what pressure felt like.

But upon seeing Fang Xun unleash his ultimate spear strike, a long-lost emotion stirred within her.

Cloud Retainer had originally intended to assess Fang Xun's character, but everything that happened tonight had yielded an unexpected reward.

At the very least, Cloud Retainer knew Fang Xun's strength was not to be underestimated.

It was no wonder those villagers mistook Fang Xun for an Immortal.

Fang Xun's spear strike truly possessed an Immortal's demeanor.

If there was one thing that marred the perfection, it was that the spear Fang Xun held was too ordinary.

What kind of Immortal would use such useless scrap metal?

It seemed, she would have to find time to gift Fang Xun a weapon.

Cloud Retainer's thought had both public and private reasons.

Publicly, Fang Xun had earned merit by protecting Liyue's residents in a timely manner today, and thus deserved a gift from the Immortals.

Privately, Cloud Retainer considered that, if Fang Xun and Ganyu were to end up together in the future, it would be truly unbecoming if he didn't even have a handy weapon.

Meanwhile, on Fang Xun's end.

Seeing the villagers kneeling on the ground with devout and respectful expressions, Fang Xun spoke, "You should all get up quickly. I am not an Immortal, there's no need for such a grand gesture."

However, the villagers remained kneeling, not daring to rise.

"The Immortal not only protected us just now but also dealt with that monster. Possessing such power, he is undoubtedly an Immortal."

"Yes, please don't mind us, Immortal. This is simply a way for us to express our gratitude!"

Fang Xun couldn't help but rub his forehead in exasperation upon hearing this.

He finally understood why Little Ningguang was so stubborn.

It turned out the entire village adhered to its own principles.

And these principles were unshakeable.

At this moment, Ningguang reached out, tugged on her mother's clothes, and softly introduced, "Mom, this is Brother Fang Xun I told you about."

"Brother Fang Xun is very good to Ningguang,"

"He not only bought Ningguang new clothes but also lent her money to buy a house. This Genshin's Eye was also entrusted to Ningguang by Brother Fang Xun."

Ningguang habitually recounted the day's events to her mother.

Whenever she spoke of Fang Xun, the little girl's tender, pretty face would unconsciously break into a sweet smile, and happiness was almost overflowing from her big, watery eyes.

Ningguang's mother had indeed noticed that her daughter had returned wearing a beautiful dress tonight.

She had been a bit surprised at the time, but now, hearing Ningguang's words, she understood everything.

"In that case, Mister Fang is truly good to you."

Ningguang's mother's eyes welled up with tears upon hearing this.

When she looked at Fang Xun again, her expression was filled with inexpressible gratitude.

Originally, Ningguang's mother had felt quite guilty, because due to their family's poverty, she had never been able to give Ningguang a happy childhood.
