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

Fang Xun reached out and pinched Gan Yu's cheek, asking softly, "Gan Yu, what's wrong?"

Gan Yu blushed and said shyly, "Brother, have you forgotten? It's that... Qilin horn..."

After Gan Yu reminded him, Fang Xun then remembered...

Now, Gan Yu needs Fang Xun to touch the sheep's horns to fall asleep peacefully; she doesn't know when she developed this habit.

Fang Xun couldn't help but laugh at this.

"Okay, go to sleep now."

As he spoke, Fang Xun reached out and gently grasped the Qilin horn on Gan Yu's head, coaxing her to sleep like he was soothing a child.

Not long after, Gan Yu's voice came from the quiet room again.

"elder brother..."

"Hmm? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I like my older brother."

"I want to be with my brother forever and never be separated."

Upon hearing Gan Yu's words, Fang Xun smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's stay together forever."

"I'll take you with me wherever I go from now on."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Gan Yu's voice grew softer and softer until finally, one could only faintly hear her calling Fang Xun's name.

...

After Gan Yu fell asleep, Fang Xun opened his backpack and found the parametric qualitative change instrument.

In the game, you can obtain other substances simply by putting materials into the parametric transmutation device.

Simply put, this item can help players turn trash into treasure.

The parameter transformation instrument obtained from the system can help Fang Xun obtain a fixed Entangled Fate.

Fang Xun placed common Teyvat items such as animal meat and sweet flowers into the parametric mass changer.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xun infused it with elemental power.

With a ding, a system notification sounded in Fang Xun's ear.

"Congratulations, host, for obtaining an Entangled Bond, along with the material 'Northern Land One-Handed Sword Prototype' and the material 'Thousand Wonders Core'."

For a moment, Fang Xun's gaze fell on the golden device pattern, the material called 'Qianqi Core'.

He clearly remembered that the 'Thousand Wonders Core' was an important material for making the Jade Pavilion.

In the storyline, there are three important materials needed to build the Qunyu Pavilion.

It is mainly divided into Mingxia Floating Life Stone, Qianqi Core, and Immortal Talisman.

The reason why Qunyu Pavilion can float in the air is largely due to the Mingxia Floating Stone.

Those stones can break free from the shackles of the mortal world and ascend into the sky.

The core of the Thousand Wonders complements the immortal talismans, becoming the control hub of the Jade Pavilion.

To build the Jade Pavilion, these three materials are indispensable.

In an instant, Fang Xun formed a plan in his mind.

Having already obtained the 'Thousand Wonders Core', all that's needed is to acquire the Mingxia Floating Life Stone and some immortal talismans to complete the construction of the Jade Pavilion.

In the original storyline, the traveler obtained the Floating Life Stone from the cave of the Narumi Qixia True Lord.

It seems that Fang Xun could follow the same path.

As for talismans from immortals, that's even easier; getting talismans from immortals shouldn't be a problem.

Let's prepare a surprise for Ningguang!

Build her the Jade Pavilion that flies in the sky.

...

Sorry for the late update.

The main problem is the plot. I've been cutting and rewriting, but I'm still not satisfied. I really don't know how to write this kind of plot...

Everyone, get some rest early. Good night.

Chapter 242 Extra Chapter: Lei Movie's Birthday

"Our general is another year older, so he can't cry all the time anymore."

Narukami Island, Castle Keep

Yae no Miko, dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit, slowly walked to Lei Yingdian's side.

Her eyes were smiling, and her tone was teasing.

Normally, Lei Yingdian would definitely have engaged in a verbal battle with Yae no Miko.

He might even draw his sword and slash at the scoundrel fox, but the fox will eventually be able to dodge anyway.

But today, Lei's film seems to have its mind on something more important.

Kage seemed indifferent to Yae no Miko's teasing.

After a brief silence, Lei Yingdian asked earnestly, "Divine Child... how's the security at the port? Is everything going smoothly?"

Yae no Miko covered her mouth, her tone teasing: "What you really want to ask isn't about port security, but whether Mr. Fang Xun has arrived in Inazuma, right?"

“Our general clearly misses Mr. Fang Xun very much, but he is too embarrassed to say it directly.”

"So you came up with such a lame question to try and get information out of me, it's just so cute."

Lei's film neither denied nor admitted it.

She didn't seem to be affected by Yae no Miko's teasing.

However, the slight blush on her fair face indicated that she was not at peace.

At this moment, Yae no Miko crossed her arms and gently shook her head.

"I'm sorry, I didn't find Mr. Fang Xun at the port."

"He wouldn't have forgotten that today is our general's birthday, would he?"

"Our General has been eagerly anticipating meeting Mr. Fang Xun on his birthday."

"If Mr. Fang Xun doesn't show up, someone will definitely be very disappointed. They might even cry and make a scene, the kind of person who can't be cheered up by desserts or light novels."

Yae no Miko paused, her cunning eyes fixed on Lei Yingdian.

"Or... shall I write a letter to Mr. Fang Xun for you?"

"Just tell him that our general wants to see him and that he should come to keep the appointment as soon as possible?"

Upon hearing Yae no Miko's idea, Lei Yingdian immediately shook his head.

"No need, Divine Child."

"To me, today is not a special day."

"A birthday is no different from any other day."

"I don't need to celebrate my birthday, and I don't particularly look forward to it."

Seeing Lei's earnest answer, Yae no Miko simply smiled and remained silent.

As a member of the [Eternal] family and a friend, she knew very well that Lei Yingdian was a tsundere (a haughty and arrogant woman).

Although she clearly wanted Fang Xun to celebrate her birthday with her, she acted as if she didn't care.

What a hypocritical woman!

After Yae no Miko left, Lei's purple eyes dimmed slightly.

She looked somewhat disappointed and frustrated.

"Fang Xun...have you really forgotten that today is my birthday?"

"He promised to celebrate my birthday with me every year, but it turns out he was lying all along. What a big liar."

"I can have a good birthday by myself, I don't need anyone to accompany me."

As he spoke, Lei Yingdong strode out of the castle tower as if in a huff.

For Ying, celebrating her birthday is simply about doing three things.

Eat desserts, read light novels, watch fireworks.

Lei Yingdian often does these three things on a daily basis, and he is quite adept at it.

Whenever I'm in a bad mood, just doing these three things will clear away the gloom in my heart.

But now, she just can't be happy.

Even the tricolor dumplings that I've always loved don't taste sweet anymore; instead, they have an indescribable bitterness.

The taste of the tricolor dumplings should not have changed.

It was the sense of loss in her heart that made her lose interest in everything.

At that moment, a voice came from behind Lei Yingdian.

"General, you seem to be in a bad mood."

"Would you like to try our uniquely made tricolor dumplings? They're free!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lei Yingdian subconsciously looked up.

The person standing in front of her was Fang Xun, who was looking at her with a smile.

The moment Lei saw Fang Xun, he felt all the sadness and disappointment in his heart vanish.

Instead, there is the joy of reunion and the release of longing.

Lei Yingdian looked at Fang Xun and said irritably, "I thought you had forgotten what day it is today."
