Genshin Impact: Ningguang is Still a Poor Thing, Invested in by Me

She knelt down and carefully bandaged Fang Xun's wound.

The innocent Ganyu's thoughts were simple: Fang Xun got hurt helping her.

If anything happened to Fang Xun, she would blame herself for the rest of her life.

Fang Xun found it amusing and a little exasperating, thinking Ganyu was being a bit over the top.

For such a minor injury, Fang Xun didn't even think a band-aid was necessary, but since Ganyu was already bandaging him, he let her be.

Fang Xun stood still, cooperating with Ganyu's bandaging.

This brought them very close, so close that Fang Xun could smell a faint fragrance on Ganyu, a scent like Qingxin, or perhaps sweet flowers.

It was clear Ganyu must really like floral scents.

It was at this moment that Fang Xun's attention was drawn to a stray strand of hair on Ganyu's head.

That strand of hair bobbed up and down with Ganyu's bandaging movements, looking extremely cute.

"Mister Fang Xun, I'm done bandaging."

At this moment, Ganyu looked up to speak with Fang Xun, but unexpectedly saw Fang Xun staring directly at her head.

Ganyu instinctively took a step back and quickly reached up to cover her horns.

Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she shyly said, "Please... don't look at me like that."

Chapter 47: The Secret Hidden in The Chasm

For Ganyu, her horns were an organ that made her sensitive, both physically and mentally.

Ganyu was afraid of others touching her horns, which was why she instinctively retreated.

Not only that, Ganyu's heart was filled with worry.

Because Ganyu had always lied to others, claiming she was wearing a headdress, very few people in all of Liyue knew her secret.

Ganyu worried that if people discovered this secret, they would treat her as an anomaly and distance themselves from her.

Therefore, whenever someone looked at the top of Ganyu's head, she would shyly lower her head.

Seeing Ganyu looking like a startled little rabbit, Fang Xun immediately spoke, "Miss Ganyu, I apologize."

"I just thought your Kirin Horns were very cute, so I couldn't help but stare for a moment."

"I didn't expect to startle you, I'm very sorry."

He had no intention of offending her, so he didn't want Ganyu to misunderstand.

Ganyu's beautiful eyes widened, her expression one of surprise.

Fang Xun actually knew her horns were Kirin Horns?

Amidst her surprise, Ganyu remembered that Cloud Retainer had once said Fang Xun also possessed the Kirin Bloodline.

So, it wasn't strange for Fang Xun to recognize the Kirin Horns.

Recalling Fang Xun's words, a warm current flowed through Ganyu's heart.

All this time, Ganyu had been deeply troubled by her Kirin Horns.

She always worried that the world would look at her strangely.

Even Ganyu herself was distressed, often wishing she didn't have those Kirin Horns.

But until today, Fang Xun had praised her Kirin Horns as cute.

This was the first time Ganyu had ever heard such a compliment.

Ganyu lowered her head, her pretty face blushing slightly, and said, "Mister Fang Xun, thank you for your compliment."

Seeing that Ganyu was no longer as flustered, Fang Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid Ganyu would feel awkward, so he changed the subject, "Speaking of which, why were you surrounded by those monsters, Miss Ganyu?"

When it came to serious matters, Ganyu's pretty face became exceptionally focused.

She softly said, "I originally intended to gather Qingxin, but I unexpectedly discovered a group of Rock Dragon Lizards gathered together."

"Their behavior was strange; they must have been controlled by the Fatui."

"To find out what the Fatui were trying to do, I followed these Ancient Rock Dragon Lizards all the way here and discovered they were trying to dig a path to The Chasm."

"The Chasm has been sealed, and no one is allowed to go there, so I had to step in to stop them."

Ganyu clearly explained the whole story.

Fang Xun silently absorbed this information.

The Fatui wanted to go to The Chasm?

What was inside The Chasm that would make the Fatui go to such great lengths?

Fang Xun immediately thought of the great battle Morax had fought there a thousand years ago, and how Morax had personally sealed his old friend, Azhdaha.

Were the Fatui going after Azhdaha?

Whether they were or not, they couldn't let the Fatui get close to The Chasm.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Xun voiced his thoughts.

"Miss Ganyu, I suspect the thing the Fatui truly desire might be hidden within The Chasm."

Ganyu nodded slightly upon hearing this. "On this point, Mister Fang Xun and I think alike."

"Regardless, we've finally obtained some intel on the Fatui,"

"I will inform the Liyue Qixing and the Immortals, so everyone can prepare to resist the Fatui."

Ganyu paused, then remembered the purpose of her visit tonight.

"Oh, right... these are Qingxin I just picked. Are there enough?"

Ganyu handed five Qingxin to Qiqi.

Qiqi carefully put the Qingxin away, then nodded obediently. "These Qingxin... are enough..."

"Thank you... Ganyu..."

Looking at the adorable little creature before her, Ganyu couldn't help but chuckle and crouch down to ruffle Qiqi's head.

Then she stood up, looked up at Fang Xun, and said, "Well, Mister Fang Xun, I must take my leave now. I still have a lot of work to do."

Fang Xun knew Ganyu was busy and couldn't stay in one place for too long.

He understood this.

After a brief exchange, Ganyu turned and returned to Liyue Harbor, while Fang Xun, holding Qiqi's hand, headed towards the village in Guili Plains.

"Qiqi, Brother Fang Xun, you're back~"

Even though they were still a long way from the village, Little Ningguang had already spotted Fang Xun and them returning and was running over quickly on her short legs.

She threw herself into Fang Xun's arms, her clear, bright eyes overflowing with joy.

Hearing that Fang Xun had returned, the villagers also hurried out to welcome the Immortal.

Looking at the little girl in his arms, Fang Xun couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Little girl, we're still quite a distance from the village entrance. How did you know we were back?"

Before Ningguang could answer, Old Zhang, the village blacksmith, jokingly chimed in.

"While the Immortal was away, Little Ningguang just stood at the village entrance."

"She didn't do anything else but watch in the direction of Mt. Tianheng."

"We asked her to come rest, but she refused, saying she wanted to be the first to welcome the Immortal."

"It's clear that the Immortal holds a very important place in Little Ningguang's heart."

Hearing blacksmith Uncle Zhang's description, Fang Xun could vividly picture

the little girl standing at the village entrance with an expectant and stubborn look, gazing into the distance.

Fang Xun couldn't help but chuckle, lowering his head to pinch Ningguang's soft, smooth, rosy cheek.

The little girl was simply too adorable.

How could there be such a sweet and silly girl?

She really didn't want to be separated from Fang Xun for even a moment.

She was so clingy since she was little; what would he do in the future?

Ningguang's pretty face quickly flushed red upon hearing Uncle Zhang's teasing.

"N-no, that's not it!"

"Ningguang was just thinking about planning for the village at the entrance, and waiting for Brother Fang Xun to come back!"
