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

The blue light emanating from the old man flickered, and his figure gradually disappeared.

He looked at Taro-maru and left with his last words.

"Taro Maru, you've been taking care of me all this time, and I haven't done anything for you."

"After much thought, the only thing I can do for you is to choose the most suitable owner to take care of you."

The old man looked at Fang Xun and introduced him to Taromaru, saying, "This gentleman is very kind. From now on, you will follow him."

"I can rest assured when you are by his side."

The old man's figure was blown away by the wind.

At the last moment, he bent down to touch the untouchable Taromaru.

The old man smiled and said, "Although I'm reluctant to leave, I still have to go."

"Goodbye, Taro-maru."

"You must live on, live well."

The old man turned into countless specks of light and disappeared.

Taro-maru ran wildly, trying to catch up with the old man in this way.

In the end, they came up empty-handed.

When it looked up, it discovered that the spot where the old man had left corresponded to a sky full of stars.

The elderly are one of them.

Taro-maru called out to the sky, as if responding to the old man.

Fang Xun stood behind and watched quietly.

He knew that Taromaru was saying goodbye to the old man.

I don't know if it's because I overworked myself yesterday by updating the chapter.

Looking at the cold, hard data still makes me feel melancholy.

Maybe it's a bit of both; in short, I'm in a really bad state, like, "Aba aba."

So there will only be one update today. Sorry, I need to adjust my schedule.

Everyone, go to bed early.

Chapter 189 Taromaru, the Demon God of Vibrating Swords

Seeing Taro-maru staring motionless at the sky, Fang Xun remained silent and sat quietly beside him.

Under the moonlight, a man and a dog sat in a row on the beach.

Silence reigned all around, with the occasional sound of the tide rising and falling.

After a long while, Taromaru stood up and walked step by step toward Fang Xun.

Taro-maru was no longer as hostile as before.

It gently nuzzled Fang Xun with its head while wagging its tail in a friendly gesture.

Fang Xun thought Taromaru was cute and reached out to stroke Taromaru's head.

"Tomorrow I will have someone fence this place off so that your former owner can rest in peace without being disturbed."

"I'll bring you to visit every year from now on, so you can rest assured now, right?"

"I don't know if you can understand me, but in short, I will take care of you as much as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xun noticed that Taromaru's tail was wagging more vigorously.

It snuggled into Fang Xun's arms, looking very happy and excited.

Seeing Taromaru's happy expression, Fang Xun said with a smile, "Taromaru, you really can understand what I'm saying."

"With such a spiritual talent, Xiu Gou might one day become the Demon God of the Blade?"

Actually, thinking about it this way isn't so bad.

Barbatos has Tvalin,

Morax has the Naga King of Ra,

Baal has an eighth-level divine son;

Fang Xun, on the other hand, has Taro Maru.

In Teyvat, who doesn't have a family?

If you encounter any trouble in the future,

Fang Xun only needs to say one sentence, "Kill him, Taro Maru!" and all the problems will be solved.

Just thinking about it makes me feel great.

Upon hearing the words "Demon God of the Vibrating Blade," Taromaru wagged his tail and barked, clearly liking the name.

"Taro Maru, being the 'Demon of the Shaking Blade' isn't easy. You'll have to work hard."

"Of course, I will also provide you with any help I can."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system's voice rang in Fang Xun's mind.

"Taro Maru's innate talent 'Shaking Blade,' current level 1,"

"Would you like to consume one Entangled Bond to upgrade the talent 'Shaking Blade' to level 15?"

Upon hearing the system notification, Fang Xun subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

Goodness, you can even use external forces to enhance your talent?

Using just one Entanglement spell is enough to max out Taromaru's core talent; it's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

Without any hesitation, Fang Xun used an Entangled Bond to upgrade Taromaru's talent.

The system notification sounded: "The host has chosen to deduct 1 Entanglement Bond, and Taromaru's talent 'Shaking Blade' has been successfully upgraded to level 15."

Fang Xun looked down at Taromaru and then asked, "Taromaru, how are you feeling right now?"

Taro-maru tilted his head and looked at Fang Xun, his eyes filled with confusion.

This was probably the first time in its entire dog life that it had been asked such a question.

"It's not working? What's going on?"

The words had barely left his lips when

Fang Xun saw Taromaru quickly stand up, then scratch its neck with its hind paw and yawn.

Apart from that, nothing has changed.

Fang Xun was stunned.

The promised upgrade to the 'Shaking Blade' talent to level 15 is still not working.

The system says the talent upgrade was successful and there shouldn't be any problems.

It can only be said that Taro Maru did not understand Fang Xun's meaning.

"Never mind, the most important thing right now is to cook a meal for Taro-maru."

"This little guy hasn't eaten for three days and three nights, he must be starving."

Fang Xun looked down at Taro Maru and instructed him, "You sit here and don't move. I'll go get a fish and we'll grill it."

Upon hearing that he could eat grilled fish, Taromaru's ears perked up and his tail wagged incessantly.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded behind Fang Xun.

The sound came from afar and approached at an extremely fast speed.

He subconsciously looked up and saw a group of treasure hunters rushing towards him.

In the blink of an eye, the group of thieves had Fang Xun and Taro Maru surrounded.

Judging from their seamless teamwork and skillful techniques, it's easy to see that these people do this kind of thing frequently.

Fang Xun stood up, and Taro-maru, standing at his feet, also looked warily at the group of treasure hunters who were approaching aggressively.

If the treasure-hunting gang wants Fang Xun to do anything, Taro Maru will protect Fang Xun without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, a member of the heist group stepped out from the crowd.

He carefully examined Fang Xun, then said to the tall man beside him, "Boss, that's right, it's this kid!"

"During the day I saw him book the entire snack shop. This is something not just anyone can do, which means he must have a lot of money!"

"As long as we get our hands on the money, the brothers can live a life of luxury for a while!"

After hearing this conversation among the treasure-hunting group, Fang Xun finally understood.

He was buying things for the little ones during the day when he unexpectedly caught the eye of a group of thieves.

Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, this group of people planned to rob someone.

At that moment, the burly leader of the treasure-hunting gang strode over.

He put his hands on his hips, looked down at Fang Xun, and said sternly, "Kid, if you know what's good for you, hand over all your valuables now!"

"You'd better not refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, or we might hurt you with our weapons."

As he spoke, the leader of the treasure-hunting gang even brandished the shovel in his hand.

Sensing the hostility emanating from the treasure-hunting group, Taromaru watched them warily, letting out a low growl.

For a moment, the leader of the treasure-hunting group looked rather grim.

He pointed at Taro-maru and said to his men, "If this dog attracts the patrolling soldiers nearby, it'll be troublesome. Get rid of it quickly."

As soon as the words were spoken, the members of the treasure-hunting gang brandished their shovels and charged towards Taro-maru.

Seeing this, Taromaru lowered his head and bit the katana at his feet.

When Taro-maru bit the katana in his mouth, the dog's entire aura changed.

It watched the approaching group of thieves silently, without any fear in its eyes.
