Genshin Impact: Ningguang or Little Pitiful, Invested by Me

Fang Xun couldn't refuse, so he went along with Ningguang's mother.

Next, Fang Xun's gaze fell upon Little Ningguang, watching to see what the little girl planned to do next.

Chapter 31: Twin-Tailed Loli

Ningguang had slept all afternoon, so she naturally wasn't sleepy and appeared full of energy.

The little girl also noticed Fang Xun's gaze.

She blinked her eyes and said pitifully, "Brother Fang Xun, Ningguang wants to take a bath."

Her childish voice made Fang Xun find her very cute.

Fang Xun crouched down, pinched Ningguang's cheek, and then said softly, "Then go take a bath. There's hot water upstairs and downstairs, so feel free to use whichever bathroom you like."

Speaking of which, after a tiring day, Fang Xun also planned to take a bath and then rest.

"But..." The little girl lowered her head, fiddling with the hem of her clothes, as if hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Fang Xun asked curiously.

"But Ningguang doesn't have any spare clothes," the little girl pouted, looking dejected.

Originally, Ningguang had another set of cloth clothes for changing, but because the village was destroyed by the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizards, her home was not spared either.

Those so-called clothes were long unusable.

So, the little girl wanted to take a bath but had no spare clothes, making her hesitant.

Looking at the adorable Ningguang, Fang Xun couldn't help but chuckle.

"Wait a moment, I remember Aunt Yujin gave us two sets of clothes. Let me look for them."

Fang Xun pretended to think as he walked into the bedroom.

While Ningguang wasn't paying attention, Fang Xun took out a gymnastics uniform from his backpack.

As for why he said Yujin gave it to him, the reason was simple:

it would look very strange for a grown man like him to suddenly produce a gymnastics uniform, right?

So, he just said Yujin gave it to him.

That Liyue car king sold clothes every day; she definitely wouldn't know if she had done this or not.

Fang Xun turned and handed the gymnastics uniform to Ningguang, "Let's buy another set of spare clothes tomorrow. For tonight, just make do with this set to sleep in."

The little girl had never seen a gymnastics uniform before, so she immediately looked delighted.

"This outfit is so pretty! Thank you, Brother Fang Xun, and thank you Aunt Yujin too~"

After speaking, Ningguang immediately ran to the bathroom.

When she came out again, she had already changed into the brand-new gymnastics uniform.

"Brother Fang Xun, do I look good in this outfit?"

The little girl blinked her big, watery eyes, looking nervously at Fang Xun, anticipating his evaluation.

The little girl's skin was already fair, and now wearing this gymnastics uniform made her skin appear even smoother and more delicate.

Coupled with her cute appearance, the outfit looked perfectly natural on her.

Fang Xun rested his chin on his hand and muttered to himself, "It's pretty, but it feels like something's missing."

"Right, twin tails."

"If she had twin tails, it would be perfect."

"Twin tails?"

The little girl tilted her head, pondering.

Then, she said seriously, "Brother Fang Xun, please wait for me."

Little Ningguang lightly stepped on the wooden floor, trotting to the bathroom.

After a while, when she walked out again, her beautiful hair had been meticulously styled into twin tails.

The little girl raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Fang Xun, "Brother Fang Xun, is it like this? Do I look good?"

"You look even better," Fang Xun nodded with a light smile.

Hearing Fang Xun's praise, Little Ningguang's pretty face flushed slightly, but more than that, she was filled with joy.

"If Brother Fang Xun likes it, that's great~"

The little lass's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, looking rather simple and honest.

"Brother Fang Xun, what are you going to do now?"

"I'm going to take a bath,"

Fang Xun replied casually.

He had originally thought that Ningguang would go straight to sleep after her bath, but when he finished and came out, he found Little Ningguang sitting on a stool, gently swinging her little feet, as if waiting.

Seeing Fang Xun emerge, Little Ningguang's eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward to ask, "Brother Fang Xun, what about now? What are you going to do now?"

The little lass fired off questions one after another. Fang Xun retorted, "Little lass, why aren't you going to sleep yet?"

The little lass pouted, her expression tearful, "Brother Fang Xun, Ningguang... Ningguang can't sleep."

"I slept too long this afternoon..."

Looking at the little one's about-to-cry expression, Fang Xun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"How about this then, I'll tell you a story."

"Okay, okay."

The little lass's face lit up with joy upon hearing about a story.

She loved listening to storytellers, and storytelling was just telling stories, right?

In the past, whenever Little Ningguang passed by Tian Tiezui's spot, she couldn't help but stop for a moment, only leaving after Tian Tiezui finished a story.

Soon, Fang Xun began to tell his story.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Xun felt Ningguang's steady breathing beside him.

He let out a sigh of relief; the little lass had finally fallen asleep.

Alright, he was ready to go to sleep too.

Just as Fang Xun was about to leave, he found Ningguang's arms wrapped around his.

Even in her sleep, the little lass was holding onto his arm and wouldn't let go.

Fang Xun was again at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

If he left now, he might wake the little lass, and would she cry then?

With no other choice, Fang Xun decided to make do for the night.

Fortunately, Ningguang's bed was large enough to accommodate an adult and a child.

As Fang Xun drifted off to sleep, he heard Ningguang murmur.

"I like Brother Fang Xun the most."

The next morning, Ningguang and Fang Xun headed to Guili Plains.

After all, building a village was a major undertaking, and Fang Xun still needed to oversee it.

"Brother Fang Xun, several uncles went out early this morning to buy materials, and some uncles are taking people to chop trees in the west to reduce costs."

Along the way, Little Ningguang walked beside Fang Xun, reporting the situation.

She had to admit, the little lass was becoming more and more adept at being a secretary, organizing many things in advance.

When faced with Fang Xun's questions, she could always answer them quickly.

Just then, the village blacksmith hurried over.

His expression was anxious, as if something major had happened: "Immortal, Immortal! We discovered something while chopping trees in the west!"

"We found a cave over there with amber, and a girl is trapped inside the amber!"

Chapter 32: True Name · Hungry True Lord

A girl trapped in amber?

Upon hearing the blacksmith's report, the first person Fang Xun's mind conjured was the little zombie Qiqi.

Qiqi was originally just an ordinary herb-picking girl,
