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

After it had eaten and drunk its fill, Qiqi immediately ran to the kitchen and brought it more food.

"Little puppy... please have something to eat..."

Seeing that Qiqi's big, peach-colored eyes were staring straight at him, Taromaru didn't want to disappoint Qiqi's kindness, so he could only force himself to eat a little more after he was full.

Who would have thought that after that, Xiao Qiqi would run to the kitchen and bring food to Taromaru.

Taro-maru stared at the bowl full of dog food, lost in thought.

It ate two bowls of dog food in a row, but it really couldn't eat anymore.

Seeing that Taro-maru wasn't eating, Xiao Qiqi poured dog food into Taro-maru's mouth.

She even earnestly advised, "Little puppy, you're too thin...you need to eat more...that way you'll be healthy..."

Taromaru:? ? ?

There's a kind of hunger called "Qiqi thinks you're hungry."

What bad intentions could Xiao Qiqi possibly have? She just hopes Taro Maru will gain a little weight.

Taro-maru was quite distressed by these mischievous little devils.

What could it do? It was desperate too.

Even though it's the one being bullied, it has to constantly consider the little ones' feelings.

Because the little ones might cry in a heartbeat, and you can't soothe them.

In response, Taromaru also prayed that Fang Xun would return home soon.

Don't leave your dog alone with children, because that's not good for the dog.

Just then, Ningguang, who was leaning against the window, suddenly stood up straight, her attention seemingly drawn to something.

The little ones also stood up, thinking that Brother Fang Xun had returned.

However, after observing the road for a long time, they still couldn't see Fang Xun's shadow.

Fang Xun's brother didn't come back, so why did Ning Guang react so strongly?

"Ningguang... what's wrong with you..." Qiqi looked at Ningguang beside her, her eyes filled with confusion.

Ningguang pointed to the cliff not far away, and then said to her friends, "Look, there's a wild glass lily blooming on the opposite mountain!"

"I want to pick that glass lily."

The little ones looked in the direction Ningguang was pointing.

The location of that glass lily was very secluded.

At first, no one could find it. Only after careful observation for a long time did they discover that there was a wild glass lily in the mountain crevice.

Nowadays, most of the glass lilies in Liyue Harbor are artificially cultivated.

Wild-grown glass lilies are extremely rare, with a price that is practically unattainable.

Even Fang Xun had to put in a lot of effort to find a wild glass lily.

In a moment, everyone suddenly realized...

No wonder Ningguang reacted so strongly; she'd discovered something amazing.

If we could harvest that wild glass lily, it could fetch a good price.

Logically speaking, Xiao Ningguang only needed to wait for Fang Xun to return home and then tell him about it.

But Xiaoya's thought process is a little different.

Her reasoning was that if she was able to find that wild glass lily, it meant that others were likely to find it as well; it was just a matter of time.

What if someone else picks it first? Wouldn't that be such a waste?

Thinking this, Ningguang pushed open the door and ran out.

She was going to pick that glass lily.

Before the little ones could react, Taromaru immediately gave chase.

With Fang Xun away, it's its duty to take good care of these little guys.

Taro ran to Ningguang's side, and then nudged her with his paw.

It wasn't trying to stop Ningguang from going back, but rather gesturing for her to ride on its back.

Xiao Ningguang paused for a moment, then immediately understood what Taromaru meant.

She rode on Taromaru's back, her arms wrapped around his neck.

A man and a dog rushed into the mountains and forests.

Chapter 253 Mora is good, but a good person is hard to find.

The other little ones, worried that Ningguang might encounter some danger, also hurriedly left the house.

But soon they realized their worries were somewhat unnecessary.

Because Taro-maru carried Ning-kwang nimbly through the mountains and forests as if walking on flat ground.

In the blink of an eye, Ningguang and Taromaru had arrived at the place where wild glass lilies were in full bloom.

The glass lily bloomed high in the crevice, so high that even when Ningguang stood on tiptoe, she could hardly touch it.

She could only watch helplessly and anxiously.

At this moment, Taromaru, who was standing guard nearby, silently lay down and used his body to create a step for Ningguang.

Ningguang thanked Taromaru, and with his help, she was able to successfully pick the wild Ruri-lily.

Looking at the pure white, quietly blooming wild glass lily in her palm, Ningguang smiled with satisfaction.

If we can just pick this flower, then it will all be worth it.

Just then, Taromaru called out twice towards the foot of the mountain.

Ningguang looked in the direction Taromaru was looking and found that Fang Xun had returned.

"Taro Maru, let's go back."

"Don't make Brother Fang Xun worry."

Ningguang rode on Taromaru's back, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck.

During this process, Ningguang protected the wild glass lilies she picked very well.

They'd rather get hurt themselves than let the glass lily suffer.

...

On his way home, Fang Xun had already seen the little ones standing at the door.

Unlike usual, Ningguang and Taromaru were absent.

After some questioning, Fang Xun learned that Ning Guang and Taro Maru had gone up the mountain to pick flowers.

Fang Xun looked at the steep, muddy mountain path and couldn't help but frown slightly.

The mountain paths were so difficult to traverse that even herb gatherers who specialized in crossing mountains and valleys would take detours, fearing they might encounter danger.

Ningguang is acting too recklessly.

Without time to think it over, Fang Xun prepared to set off to find Ning Guang, leaving Gan Yu to stay and take care of the other little ones.

Just then, Ningguang's voice came from the mountains and forests.

"Brother Fang Xun, Taro Maru and I are back."

Fang Xun looked in the direction of the sound and saw Taro Maru charging down the mountain like a tiger, while Ning Guang rode steadily on top of him.

“Brother Fang Xun, look, this is a wild glass lily. I picked it with Taro Maru.”

Ningguang came up to Fang Xun, eager to share her joy.

When the glass lilies appeared, the little ones all gasped in amazement.

Because this flower is so beautiful, pure white, noble and dignified, and exudes a delicate fragrance.

Even Gan Yu's attention was drawn to this glass lily.

Having seen many glass lilies, she had to admit that the one Ningguang picked was of the best quality.

Fang Xun looked at the glass lily in Ning Guang's hand and then nodded: "It is indeed a very beautiful wild glass lily."

"Compared to the artificially cultivated glass lilies of Yujingtai, this wild glass lily is of even greater quality."

"If a discerning merchant finds it valuable, it might fetch a good price."

Fang Xun paused, then changed the subject: "But I still have to criticize you. I told you to stay home obediently, but you secretly ran out."

“It’s dangerous to do that, I’m worried.”

As she finished speaking, it was clear that tears were welling up in Ningguang's eyes.

The little girl looked very guilty, pouting pitifully.

"I'm sorry, Brother Fang Xun, Ningguang made you worry."

"From now on, Ningguang will behave well and stay home when Brother Fangxun goes out, and will definitely not run around."

"Brother Fang Xun, please don't be angry."

Seeing Ningguang's pitiful appearance, Fang Xun felt very sorry for her.

Fang Xun squatted down, gently rubbed Ningguang's head, and then said softly, "I'm not angry, I just think what you did was wrong. You didn't keep our agreement."

Fang Xun paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, it's not advisable to take risks just to make money."

What I'm trying to say is, no matter how much Mora we earn, it's not as important as your safety, you know?

Ningguang, that girl, is always thinking about how to earn Mora.

There's nothing inherently wrong with this idea, after all, Ningguang also enjoys earning Mora in the game.

But you should always put your own safety first.

In Fang Xun's view, taking risks for money was simply not worth it.
