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

Guyun Pavilion.

Perhaps Oser sensed a powerful aura approaching.

From within that enormous vortex came increasingly furious and resentful roars.

Meanwhile, Oser's speed in breaking through the seal is also increasing.

The talismans scattered around the Lonely Cloud Pavilion flickered on and off, as if they were on the verge of collapse.

Once these talismans are broken, the Vortex Demon God will return to the mortal realm.

A waterspout began to form on the sea surface and headed towards Liyue.

If Osel breaks the seal, its descent will cause the entire Liyue region to be submerged by the sea.

However, Fang Xun had no intention of letting Osel cause trouble.

He took a deep breath and then threw the Hepu kite in his hand toward the whirlpool.

After obtaining the powers of Xiao and Fang Xun, Na He and Pu Yuan's size rapidly increased, and their power also received an unimaginable boost.

He Puyuan passed right through the vortex.

The two collided, unleashing a dazzling light and a powerful shockwave.

The entire Lonely Cloud Pavilion trembled violently.

The Hilichurls clung desperately to whatever they could hold, which prevented them from being blown away.

Amid the explosion, Oser's unwilling and furious roar could be clearly heard.

But the whirlpool quickly dissipated on the surface of the sea, and everything returned to calm.

History is always strikingly similar.

Thousands of years ago, Morax used his spear to subdue the vortex demon at the bottom of the sea.

Thousands of years later, Fang Xun once again used a spear to suppress Oser.

Xiao seemed somewhat dazed.

Because for a fleeting moment he had a strange feeling,

Fang Xun's figure seemed to overlap with that of the Emperor.

Chapter 148 Xiao: Are you being polite? Disrespectful to the Immortal Master

After resealing Oser, Xiao made a point of checking the surrounding area.

After confirming that there were no problems, Xiao took off his mask, revealing his handsome young face.

"Mr. Fang Xun, today... I... don't know what to say."

Xiao was very grateful to Fang Xun for coming to help.

If Fang Xun hadn't been there, suppressing Osael wouldn't have been a simple matter.

But even though the words of gratitude were on the tip of my tongue, I just couldn't say them.

Perhaps it's because Xiao never expresses gratitude to anyone.

Or perhaps I've been lonely for too long and have long forgotten how to express my gratitude.

In short, Xiao's words were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to express them.

Seeing Xiao's distressed appearance, Fang Xun smiled and said, "It's alright, I understand what you mean."

Xiao didn't speak.

Previously, some people had said similar things to Fang Xun and were able to understand Xiao's meaning.

However, the people we know have turned to dust and vanished into nothingness.

Xiao saw the shadows of his friends in Fang Xun.

After a long silence, Xiao extended his five fingers.

Under his magical powers, a deep sound emanated from the calm sea.

Immediately afterwards, He Puyuan burst out of the water and rolled into Xiao's hand.

Xiao wanted to say that after escorting Fang back to Liyue, he would continue his patrol.

However, before Xiao could speak,

Fang Xun took the initiative to invite, "I'm currently showing my two kids around the night market. Xiao, would you like to come along?"

Fang Xun also considered that Xiao was too lonely.

He has lived alone in darkness for thousands of years.

Although Xiao has a cool and aloof personality, he is not heartless.

In the game, while everyone else is celebrating the Lantern Festival, Xiao will sit quietly on the roof of the Wangshu Inn and watch it all.

The lonely figure was heartbreaking to see.

Thinking about it this way, perhaps visiting night markets is a way to help Xiao overcome his loneliness?

Upon hearing Fang Xun's invitation, Xiao subconsciously shook his head: "Mr. Fang Xun, let's forget about it."

"I carry karmic burdens that will affect people's lives."

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Xun countered, "Your karmic burdens have all been cleared away, so how could there be any impact?"

"Furthermore, even if new karmic obstacles arise, I can help you resolve them."

Xiao shook his head. Even so, he felt that immortals should maintain a certain distance from mortals.

Before he could speak, Fang Xun had already pulled him and flew towards Liyue Harbor.

"Morax has begun his retirement and is enjoying a new life."

"Why don't you also resign from your position and live like an ordinary person? Wouldn't that be better?"

"Let's go, let's go. It's okay to visit a night market once in a while."

Despite Xiao's refusal, Fang Xun had already dragged him to the night market in Liyue Harbor.

Xiao is usually alone, often accompanied by darkness.

He felt a little out of place in the bustling Liyue Harbor.

Many vendors enthusiastically tried to sell him their wares.

Xiao only knew how to subdue demons and monsters, but didn't know how to deal with this situation, so he could only keep waving his hands.

Just then, Ayaka's voice came from not far ahead.

"Brother Fang Xun, you're back~"

The little girl released Ling Ren's hand and then strode into Fang Xun's arms.

"Brother Fang Xun, the sky just turned such a beautiful golden color! Did you see it?"

Xiao Linghua excitedly told Fang Xun what had just happened.

Fang Xun smiled and nodded slightly: "I saw it too, it is indeed very beautiful."

As they spoke, Fang Xun stood up, holding little Linghua.

He introduced the two children to Xiao beside him: "These two children are from Inazuma. The little one in your arms is named Ayaka, and the other one is my..."

Xiao nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Fang Xun introduced him to his friends because he considered him a friend.

In truth, over these thousand years, Xiao has grown accustomed to solitary, ascetic cultivation.

His heart was as cold as a stone.

But now that Fang Xun treats Xiao as a friend...

Xiao was somewhat moved.

At this moment, Linghua tugged at Fang Xun's sleeve, her eyes gleaming with excitement, and said, "Brother Fang Xun, there are many more beautiful stalls over there, let's go take a look!"

Fang Xun smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go take a look."

He held Ayaka in his arms, with Ayato beside him.

Xiao followed behind at a leisurely pace.

As Fang Xun passed a stall, he paused slightly.

The stall displayed all sorts of masks. Ayaka found them interesting, so she picked up a mask with a fox pattern and put it on.

It seems she really likes Liyue's masks.

The little girl looked up, her voice filled with anticipation: "Brother Fang Xun, does Linghua look good in this mask?"

"It looks good, little guy, this mask suits you quite well."

As they were talking, Fang Xun also picked out a mask and then turned around and put it on Xiao's face.

Xiao was clearly surprised that Fang Xun would put a mask on him, and immediately said with some surprise, "Mr. Fang Xun..."

"Xiao, your old mask is a bit worn out. You should get a new one."

“A thousand years have passed, and Liyue has changed. You should also try some new things.”

Trying...something new?

Xiao stood there, stunned, as if savoring Fang Xun's words.

Fang Xun, on the other hand, got up and bought the two masks for Mora.

The mask shop owner also knew Fang Xun.

After all, Fang Xun is known throughout Liyue for his wealth and generosity.

At that moment, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile, saying, "Mr. Fang Xun, you've brought the children out to shop again?"

As they spoke, the shopkeeper's gaze fell on Xiao, and he couldn't help but tease, "Oh, Mr. Fang Xun brought a young boy with him today."

"How old is the child this year?"
