Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

"Get up and have some hangover soup."

Upon hearing the word "alcohol," Wendy sat up straight and exclaimed excitedly, "What alcohol? Give me a bowl! I can drink more!"

He's a complete drunkard.

He can't hear anything else you say.

However, he can react immediately to words related to alcohol.

I really don't know if he's deliberately pretending to be deaf and dumb, or if he really loves alcohol that much.

After watching Wendy drink a bowl of hangover soup, Fang Xun helped the so-called Wind God to her room to rest.

There was a room specifically for temporary guests, and Fang Xun settled Wendy in there.

Wendy fell fast asleep the moment her head touched the pillow.

He seemed to be muttering "refill the wine" under his breath.

This Lord Barbatos really doesn't do anything worthwhile.

Fang Xun left the room and closed the door.

...

It's past midnight, everyone get some rest.

Chapter 118 Please Fulfill Our Wishes

As for Fang Xun's side,

After leaving Barbatos's room, he went straight back to his own room.

Fang Xun looked up at the window.

The torrential rain had stopped without anyone noticing, and the air was filled with the rich scent of earth.

After the rain nourished the land of Liyue, tender green buds sprouted on the treetops.

However, the faint rumble of thunder could be heard from the sky, suggesting that a heavy rainstorm was imminent.

This has led to no ships daring to venture out to sea; they can only wait for the thunderstorm to end before considering other options.

Fang Xun lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

I don't know why, but I'm just not sleepy and have extremely high energy levels.

This can't go on like this.

After a moment, Fang Xun sat up and lit the spirit-guiding lamp by the bedside.

The arrival of a new night means that the lamp can be used again.

A moment later, the figures of a man and a woman slowly appeared in front of Fang Xun.

This scene surprised Fang Xun somewhat.

He had previously used the spirit-summoning lamp several times, but each time it only attracted one ghost.

This is the first time I've ever seen two ghosts appear at the same time.

Fang Xun noticed that the woman was holding the man's hand.

These two ghosts must be a couple.

Did this couple share a unfulfilled wish?

At this moment, the woman looked up at Fang Xun, appearing somewhat agitated: "Excuse me... can you grant our wishes?"

The woman's husband beside her said earnestly, "As ghosts now, we are powerless to do many things and can only rely on outside help."

"Kind stranger, please help us."

Looking at the two ghosts in front of him, their faces filled with both tension and anticipation,

Fang Xun was also curious about their wishes.

"Tell me your wishes first. I will do my best to help you as much as I can."

Upon hearing Fang Xun's reply, the couple exchanged a glance and were overjoyed: "Thank you so much, young man."

"This favor is definitely within your capabilities; we can guarantee it!"

The man stepped forward and said, "Please play hide-and-seek with our child for us."

"Now that the rain has stopped, we can go out."

"Please go to the north side of Tianheng Mountain and find a child named Xiao Jiang. Play hide-and-seek with him. Thank you!"

"Our wish is simple: to hear that child's laughter again."

Upon hearing the name Xiao Jiang, Fang Xun immediately understood the couple's wish.

Xiao Jiang,

Many players may not know that there is such an NPC in Liyue.

But if we were to say that a plump, fair-skinned adult has always been standing on the slopes of Tianheng Mountain,

Which adult would let a player play hide-and-seek with them?

Once the player finds him, they can obtain a treasure chest.

That's Xiao Jiang.

When Fang Xun first met Xiao Jiang in the game, he thought the guy was a bit childish.

He's already an adult, yet he still enjoys playing hide-and-seek.

She kept calling him "big sister" and "big brother," completely unaware that she was actually older.

Later, Fang Xun learned about Xiao Jiang's background story and realized that Xiao Jiang's life was actually very tragic.

Xiao Jiang's mind will forever remain that of a child.

Xiao Jiang's father also died while on a mission.

After Xiao Jiang's father passed away, the family suddenly faced a crisis.

To protect Xiao Jiang, the mother played hide-and-seek with her.

But she herself could never come back and reunite with Xiao Jiang.

The young couple has passed away, and Qian Yanjun erected two stone tablets in front of Xiao Jiang's house.

But the naive Xiao Jiang didn't notice this.

He would often stand outside the house, hoping his parents would come home.

Bringing his thoughts back, Fang Xun looked at Xiao Jiang's parents and nodded gently: "I understand, I will help you fulfill this wish."

Upon hearing Fang Xun's answer, Xiao Jiang's parents were overjoyed.

They bowed deeply to Fang Xun and said earnestly, "Thank you, thank you so much, kind young man."

"As long as we can see Xiao Jiang's smile one more time, we will have no regrets."

"Then, please let us go to Tianheng Mountain."

As they spoke, the two ghostly figures drifted out the window.

Tianheng Mountain is their home; their children live there.

The couple were naturally eager to return home.

Fang Xun quickly followed.

Fortunately, 'Chihaya Fever' can be released twice in a row, otherwise Fang Xun really wouldn't have been able to catch up.

In a short while, Fang Xun followed Xiao Jiang's parents to a residence on Tianheng Mountain.

As soon as he arrived, he saw a little boy squatting on the ground, covering his ears with his hands, as if he was afraid of thunder.

It's not hard to tell that this child is the same Xiao Jiang from twenty years ago.

When Xiao Jiang's mother saw her long-awaited son appear before her, tears welled up in her eyes.

She wanted to go forward and hug Xiao Jiang tightly.

But her husband reached out and stopped her, slowly shaking his head.

Xiao Jiang's father also missed Xiao Jiang and longed to hold her in his arms.

But he knew even more clearly that they were no longer human.

Rather, they are ghosts that will soon vanish into the world.

He didn't want Xiao Jiang to experience the pain and torment of being separated from her loved ones.

Xiao Jiang's mother stared intently at Xiao Jiang, tears falling silently.

But in the end, she chose to listen to her husband's wishes.

Let's just sneak a peek at Xiao Jiang from afar.

Seeing that Xiao Jiang is growing up healthy and safe,

As parents, they also felt much less worried.

Xiao Jiang's mother turned to look at Fang Xun, and then solemnly said, "Sir, I'm entrusting the task of playing hide-and-seek with Xiao Jiang to you."

Fang Xun nodded: "Don't worry, I won't let you down."

He also knew that this game of hide-and-seek was unusual.

It concerns Xiao Jiang's parents' longing and yearning for her.

Fang Xun walked forward.

Looking at Xiao Jiang, who was squatting on the ground, covering her ears with her hands, and trembling slightly,

Fang Xun said softly, "Little friend, what are you doing?"

Hearing someone speak, Xiao Jiang also looked up.

Little Jiang isn't the chubby, big guy he is now.
